Chapter 1039: The war (10)

Raine hugged the white beast's neck tightly and let Torak take her to the center of the battle, while Kace and the other supernatural beings flanked their left and right sides in a protective barrier.

During the short span for them to get there, some died and some were seriously injured and all Raine could do right now was focus on what she would do later and the strength she had to unleash.

This would be the first time for Raine todo something this big and she didn't know what percentage of success would be resulted from this recklessness.

However, the one thing she knew was; she had a strong feeling that this was the only way for this unfavorable battle to end. She must believe in herself, though those things seemed easier when said than done.

Raine looked around to take in the terrifying voices roaring right into her ears while an extremely gruesome and awful sight was displaying before her eyes.

If the present Raine was still her timid and easily scared younger self from years ago, she wouldn't have been able to say a word, let alone open her eyes and watch all these tense scenes unfold.

Raine was grateful that she went through it all and was even more grateful that Torak was always there for her and helped her no matter what during her lowest point of life.

And having gone through all the bad things in her life all over again and again, Raine could now clearly see how much progress she had made until now and she was proud of herself for getting through it all to say the least.

All of that would never happen without Torak's great patience to help her face her fears who had always been very gentle to take care of what her soul needed.

It felt like it was just yesterday Raine that met Torak in a mentally unstable state, but then two years went just like that and here they were.. at the end of the world.

But, at least they were together, even in these dreadful times and Raine couldn't help but be more glad than ever.

"Stop here," Raine whispered into the white beast's ear and caressed her hand over the beast's head, making him feel even more relaxed in this situation, letting him knew that she was right with him...

After the white beast stopped running and Kace and the other supernatural beings joined them in that aforementioned place, Raine got off Torak's back.

Their circle was so small and they were surrounded by troops of succubus and incubus creatures. There was no escape from here if they were trapped as they couldn't kill them all in a single attack.

The magicians and shifters set up a barricade around them, but it wouldn't last long, as the battle had already prolonged for way too long while they were not left with much energy to fight them any further.

"Whatever you want to do, do it fast... I don't think this barrier will last long." One of the several surviving magicians around them said in exasperation. He looked like he was almost at his wits end.

Raine immediately looked around her and then stared at the sky which was still red as blood. The sky above their heads now looked the same way she got to see a year ago.

However, Raine determined this battle would not end as it was destined to be. She was going to change the end of the prophecy as Raine knew and realized that she had the power to do it all.

And this was a defining moment for them.

"I need your firebirds," Raine said to Torak and Kace, but then they sensed something strange was happening around them.

Time stopped.

The roars of the succubus and incubus troops could no longer be heard, those heart curdling sounds had vanished.

However, time only stopped in a certain area, centered on this battlefield and did not cover the entire region.

Maybe for Kace and Torak, this was not a strange thing, but for the spell- casters and other supernatural beings, this was something extraordinary. They gasped and were amazed to see how the beings from hell stopped moving and remained in the same positions with frozen expressions as the last time they saw them.

How could this be?

Now all those eyes full of questions turned toward Raine instantly, but not just questions, admiration could also be seen from the glow in their eyes.

Meanwhile, Torak and Kace shifted back into their human skin and realized one thing; These supernatural beings weren't supposed to be able to move, because they had never touched Raine's blood before.

So, how could they move freely when Raine stopped time?

Torak stared at the girl next to him in amazement, but seeing how her eyes looked unaltered and very calm, Torak assumed that Raine had finally able to control her power to the full extent.

It seemed that his mate had now surpassed her previous abilities and it impressed him further.

==============

Lilac tried to look inside the black and bottomless crater she had created earlier with grim eyes and a trembling body.

The guardian angel intended to save Jedrek and Serefina, but without being able to see where they were, how could Lilac do that?

Her hands trembled violently as she really felt her heart stopped beating for a second.

Even when the situation around her had suddenly turned silent, she still didn't notice any of those things now. She didn't even realize that time had stopped.

Because Lilac felt that time had really stopped for her when she saw the white beast darting to save the witch and plunging into this dark crater without a second thought.

Lilacs really got scared that something might happen to the two of them.

"JEDREK! SEREFINA!" Lilac tried to shout their names, calling for them to give her a signal where they were, but got nothing in response but silence.

Lilac kept calling their names over and over again, but still nothing happened.

Her body trembled with fear and her hands gripped the wet, dirty ground beneath her.

Lilac knelt at the edge of the crater and stared at the void.

And that was when she heard a popping sound, as if something had exploded quite loudly.

The noise managed to make Lilac turn warily, in case another enemy was targeting her, but what she saw then were Hope and Lidya who had just teleported.
