Chapter 221: The Hardest Choice
Hellion looked at the faces of his parents as they were held captivated by Abanoon’s monsters.
He can see his mother was struggling from the way they were holding her, while her father looks calmed and seems to be calculating things as he was just looking at him.
"Now, you don’t really want to tell where is she?"
Abanoon yelled as she went to his mother who yelped when Abanoon pulled her hair.
Hellion clenches his hands into fists.
What happened?
What about those other knights who were with them, are they dead?
Hellion couldn’t helped but to clench his jaw in anger.
"Now choose."
She said and she smiled so wide that she seems to be enjoying how my mother yelped at what she was doing.
"Time is running, aren’t your parents as important as your wife?"
She said as she leaned to his mother who tried to free herself from her.
Hellion looked at below and his brow frowned when he noticed something.
Why did he forgot?
His mother might be weak and not as strong as the other women in the empire, but she has a pride.
A pride who never back downs and cry to the enemy, not even when she is in the verge of death.
And besides the father that he was looking a while ago, it is just when he looked at him he seems to be calculating but in reality he wasn’t blinking.
This must be her trick and when you looked down you will know that they don’t have a shadow.
"Time is ticking!"
Abanoon said angrily as she looks at her with those burning eyes of hers again.
She looks really mad that she didn’t get what she wanted.
"Scoundrel!"
She yelled as she attack him again with her sword and too good that his relfexes was fast or else he will be slit into two.
Hellion keeps on dodging and doging her attack, but he didn’t notic one monster that was behind him, too good Ernie and Jarnus were already there.
"Are you all right, Your Highness?"
Jarnus asked him worriedly as he helped him to stand up, while Ernie was covering them from Abanoon’s attack.
"Aren’t those His Majesty and Her Majesty?"
Jarnus asked as he just seems to notice now the thing that looks exactly like his parents except for their behaviour.
"No, I think they were molded by Abanoon’s power to trick us on telling where Acantha is."
He said as he was the one who blocked her attack, but it was too strong that it thrown him along with Jarnus and Ernie.
"Damned, that’s why His Majesty wasn’t moving nor blinking while the thing that looks exactly like Her Majesty keeps on yelping."
Ernie said as he even chuckled at what he said which made Jarnus gently elbowed him.
"This isn’t the right place for your nonsenses."
Jarnus said which made Ernie scratch his head while they were standing up.
"Where is that wretched woman!"
Everyone who was there in the battle field could hear Abanoon’s shout to look for Acantha, but no one was paying attention to her.
"You!"
"There are you!"
She yelled as she was near them again and Hellion, Ernie and Jarnus could feel tired, but it seems like their enemy was still on full energy.
"Where is that woman?"
She said and she throw a large ball again, and Hellion knew that it will hit them as he also lose a lot of energy ever since he and Acantha came back here in their empire.
-------------------
Acantha was feeling herself as the elixir was going through her veins, like it was restoring things that wasn’t restore and was filling her with so much energy.
She looked at the sky and feel her power and smiled.
There’s no time for idling here.
The people needs her and she needed to be there.
She use her power to teleport her to where she was before and there she saw Abanoon three a huge dark ball towards Hellion and others.
Acantha saw that they couldn’t block it so, she uses her sword to cut it into two pieces.
"Well,well, well."
Abanoon said as she was grinning at her from ear to ear.
"If it isn’t the hero who likes to save everyone."
She continue and Acantha looked at the three behin her , while not giving Abanoon the attention she want.
"Are you all all right?"
She asked the three of them and they just nodded.
Acantha use her power to heal their wounds so, that they can fight again.
"Ignoring me?"
Abanoon yelled as it makes a thunder from the sky,
Acantha looked at Hellion’s risk and saw that his bracelet were still intact.
"You’re not worth of our attention."
She said as she looked at her eye to eye.
"Owww, that’s too bad, Didn’t you miss your twin?"
Abanoon asked as she looked at her mockingly.
"You stopped being my twin when you killed them."
I said as I looked at Abanoon who gritted her teeth, it seems like I just hit a button.
"They deserved it!"
She yelled and looked at me angrily.
"They all deserved to die, and you? You deserved to die too, if you weren’t born, everyone will love me, they won’t make me feel like an outsider in our realm."
She said and her eyes where shooting daggers in anger as she was still not leaving mine.
"You just don’t accept that you are wrong."
I said as I looked at her who tighten her grip on her sword as she was shaking in anger.
"I am not wrong! Is it wrong to seek love?"
She said and I looked at her.
"Yours was never love."
I said which made her snapped at me and throw her sword which I blocked using mine.
All you could hear was the sound from the swords clashing together, when I looked down , I saw Hellion and others were fighting some dark magicians.
"How can you say my love was not love?"
She said angrily while she was trying to hit me again, and I glide I was to turn to left and now I am on her back and send her flying by kicking her.
"Love was never greedy, but what did you?" I yelled as I was floating on the air .
"You made his clan each other and worst you killed those who cares to you."
I said and I sway when I felt her coming on my way.
"Shut up!"
She yelled as she tried to slice me but only catches a few strands of my hair.
"You never knew what I went through because you were showered with love!"
She yelled angrily as she was gritting her teeth while looking at me that if her eyes were daggers I would had been died by now.
"You betrayed them and you even kille Saeries. "
I said and her eyes change a little when I mention Saeries.
"She deserved it, if only she lent me her dagger I wouldn’t have killed her."
She said more like yelling while looking at me angrily.
"Stopp babling about the past, I am here to collect a long overdue debt that you owed from me."
She said as she laugh maniacally and make a huge dark ball on her hands, I was steadying myself and readying to block it.
"How can you say I have debt when you owed me those people lives."
I said and she just smiled at me carzily.
"They deserved it, if only they choose to love me only me, they wouldn’t eneded up like that."
She said while she was looking at me angrily.
I was about Answer her, when I felt a cold brush of wind on my skin.
I looked down below and my eyes widened when I saw Hellions bracelet was broken.
"This is not good."
I said as I looked at him, Hellion unlike when he was Dromonos he still can control himself, but now that instead of being a blessing to their clan it became more of a curse as people who has dragon blood was blood thirsty.
"What is that?"
I looked at Abanoon who was looking at Hellion while her forehead was frowning
"Ahhhh"
I could hear him yell in pain as his body was becoming like a dragon.
"Jarnus!"
I yelled and he looked at me this was the second time they saw Hellion change into something like this, and they never expect him to turn like that.
I saw the dark magician grinned and I throw my sword at him which made him lay dead on the ground eyes wide open.
"Dromonos."
I looked at Abanoon when she recognized his dragon formed and her eyes landed on mine.
"You knew it didn’t you?"
She asked angrily.
"You’re selfish!"
She yelled as she begins to attack me again, but my attention was fully on Hellion, I needed to repair the bracelet that was broken in order for him to fully control himself.
I was about to-
