Chapter 390 - THE CRATER
Lucifer fair face turned hideous when they had moved very close to him. His body bulged with muscle and his head turned red as his golden eyes became darker. His entire eyes were the color of the night.
The shadow that surrounded the city had disappeared, but lights still not came back yet, thus it was extremely dark.
Only the full moon, the witness of this bloody battle.
Raine tried to raise her head and shuddered with the scene around her. The smell of burnt flesh and blood began to fill the air around them.
Roar and snarl echoed every now and then.
From above the beast's back, Raine watched everything that played before her eyes. She heard the guttural snarl of the Raphael's beast before she saw it. The beast leaped from behind Torak as he caught the neck of Belphegor with his teeth, who was jumping from behind Lucifer.
The Sloth wanted to take the opportunity that Torak was occupied with Lucifer. But, Raphael stopped him mid leap.
Raphael swung the head of the devil in his mouth and threw him to the other attackers on his right.
Torak growled menacingly and reared back, preparing to attack. Raine cried out and almost fell when Torak suddenly charged forward, meeting the devil and clobbered each other.
Moments later Torak jumped, clawing through another the devil's minion or vampires and halted for a moment, giving Raine's enough time to readjust her position.
The first witch beat the beast and came up to Raine's left and lashed a spell at her, yet before the curse could befall upon her, another light hit it and repelled it.
Raine turned around and watched Serefina was having her time, wreak havoc on the enemies around her.
The smirk on her lips, indicating that she was having so much fun to kill those poor creatures with the assist of Calleb beside her, who did the same thing.
Those beasts around Raine were so vicious and didn't stop even to take a breath from killing one after another. Their primal instinct were on display.
The creatures that the devil's brought from the darkness, shrieked and died.
Apparently the existence of their Alpha helped a lot to boost their spirit as they were fighting even better. This was why the Alpha's position was a crucial part.
Also the reason why those Lycanthropes were hesitant to fight against the devil when they thought that their Alpha had died.
Alpha Ryan and Jenedieth had thought about it a lot, yet they miscalculated something, no, they were actually underestimated the existence of Raine.
They would have never thought that Raine managed to survive from the attack from Belphegor and the other as they have Raine's best friend on their side.
In the end, that haughty mind had led them to their end.
Raine braced herself when the beast's legs left the ground and then dropped a hundred meters away. She thought, she would fall because of the aftereffect as her mind raced and her breathing was ragged.
By some miracle Raine didn't fall, but she struggled to keep her balance as the beast maneuvered through their enemies, sprinting and leaping.
It gnashed its teeth on the enemy's flesh.
The scenes were gruesome as blood splattered around in the air. A surge of sheer horror surged in Raine's veins.
Raine didn't know what kind of tactic that Torak's and his pack member used, but when Raine realized it again.
Their position had already switched. Now the Lycanthropes were circled the devil and their minions.
Though at first they were outnumbered, but by some miracle the Lycanthropes and Serefina, managed to kill more than they think they could kill.
The progress was very fascinating.
At this point they could corner those devils and the remaining of Vampires and Witches.
There was a short moment when Torak and Lucifer exchanged their gaze and snarled before Torak charged forward.

At first Raine couldn't see it, yet as Torak moved closer toward Lucifer, Raine could see the eerie huge crater with large fire that was dangerously out of control from beneath it.
This was what Aeon talking about. They had opened the gate of hell. The Tartarus appeared in their realm. In human world.
The only question that crossed her mind was; what would happen then?!
Raine felt a chill race along her back when the Torak's beast led the Lycanthropes stormed toward their enemy.
The number of the devils minions were outnumbered the beast, yet the beasts were massive. They could easily overpower them.
Torak was pressing head and unleashing the full extent of his power.
Raine watched in astonishment as Torak's beast tore apart the devil minions with seemingly no effort.
The beast penetrated deep into where Lucifer standing, or flying mid air.
The Pride flew so high above them, looked down with gloomy expression at the battle below him.
His face became even more hideous when the Lycanthropes managed to push those devils back to Tartarus.
Yet, he could think about that later, because right now, Torak had jumped onto him.
Torak's beast leaped so high and turned the look of amazement on Raine's face shifted to horror when she had almost fallen off of the beast's back.
Raine cried out in fright the moment her grip loosened. She started to fall. Feeling his mate was falling from his back, the beast let out an animalistic growled.
However, before Raine's body fell on the fierce battle beneath her or got concussion because of the impact, a dark shadow engulfed her entire body and protected her as she landed safely on the ground, far enough from the Lycanthropes and the devils.
"Aeon..?" Raine adjusted herself as she hurriedly stood up. Aeon appeared in front of her.
"Stay here." Aeon said to Raine as his eyes met the Alpha beast eyes and he nodded ever so slightly.
From afar, Raine watched as the beast bit down Lucifer's leg and threw him to the flaming crater in the middle of the yard.
