FULL NOVELXO Chapter 70
Chapter 70
Once they were done dealing with most of the rogues, Dex and Alpha Samuel along with a few others came to Mirella's side, intending to rush to the King the minute she had succeeded in taking the fire down. However, when the time came, only Mirella, who had been trying to take down this wall of fire for the past twenty
minutes, could swiftly dash toward the building Micah and Abby had gone to before they were trapped inside this wall of fire once it started to disintegrate slowly but surely.
As she had been fully focused on this alone, once she found a way to rush in, she didn't hesitate at all to jump into the fire.
Only the others couldn't follow her lead as they had earlier because the fire this time was too intense for them to brave it
out.
They could only stand outside the wall of fire, which seemed to give away for a second before it raged again and stood firmly in place.
However, all of them witnessed something even more astonishing for the split second the fire started to disappear and they could finally see what was happening on the rooftop before their eyes.
A blinding white light erupted in the middle of the rune formed by the wall of fire!
But that wasn't the thing that left them slack jawed.
It was the source from which the light erupted. Only it was not just light. Because they could all see what burst out of what seemed to be a living person was fire.
And that person was Abby!
Did they just see fire burst out of a living creature? None other than their future queen?
They could clearly see it unlike earlier when the fire erupted all of a sudden trapping just Micah and Abby inside. While the wall of fire earlier
blocked everything except sound from earlier, the one that formed later only stopped them from going near to it as they could see and hear everything that was going on inside.
Meaning, the two fires weren't created by the same person...
And the fire this time was definitely their future queen's work!
"What the hell?" Dex couldn't help but curse when he didn't understand what was happening inside while the others had the same bewildered expressions as him.
No one knew Abby was a fire magic user until she started walking through file all of a sudden earlier before helping them in fighting off those rogues, following the lead of Mirella, who seemed to be a fire magic
In fact, only after seeing Mirella using fire magic to fight off those rogues did they conclude that fire magic was a thing.
Even before they could digest that bit of information, Abby too started to fight off using the same fire magic, leaving them all dumbfounded.
After all, finding one witch was already a very big thing in this part of the continent, while they had just seen two of them at the same time.
Then came this wall of fire, clearly a work of another and third magic user, who was obviously working against them. Simply put, their enemy.
But as if all of these things weren't enough, now, fire was bursting out of Lady Abby, their future queen.
What the hell was happening here?!
**
As soon as Mirella ran to the top of the building, she could see Micah standing frozen in his place as he stared straight ahead at something, apparently a huge flame, with this shocked expression on his face. And when she finally learned the reason behind his shock, albeit without his help, her heart trembled at the revelation.
Within moments of her successful invading into this dissipating trap of fire, she witnessed with her own eyes as it restructured into place as a fire even more vicious burst out of Abby. Holy hell!
Mirella immediately understood what was happening. Abby's power was clashing again. After ten whole years. And within days of practically reawakening her powers. Only the witch didn't know what led to this She had gathered that the earlier wall of fire was because of their enemy.
Even though she still didn't have any idea who it was, it was obvious that it was the work of a magic user. If her hunch was correct, it must be a dark magic user.
But, she couldn't find anyone other than Micah and Abby on the rooftop of this building right now.
Initially, she thought Abby had somehow taken down the other person, this unknown enemy, and the fire was brought down.
But, she only realized how wrong she had been after understanding what was actually going on here right now.
Apparently, the fire burst out of Abby dominated the fire around her, crushing it with its uncontrollable power, forcing it to disintegrate in an instant before Abby's own fire took over, prompting another yet even m The backlash that Abby was now having was so immense, it actually influenced the wall of fire, which was going to disappear earlier, to reform and trap the three of them in again!
Mirella couldn't believe her eyes.
This was not going to end well,
She tried to walk toward the source, that was Abby, but it wasn't an easy feat to walk into the center of a raging volcano, and a volcano was what Abby looked like right now.
"My King," the witch called Micah, who was still in a trance as he stared at his mate, who was standing still like a statue with her face completely blank.
It seemed the girl couldn't feel the fire licking her skin at all, as she stared ahead like a lifeless mannequin.
"Huh?!" Micah only responded with this one word after the witch called him several times, not being able to process what was going on around him. "We need to stop Abby," Mirella emphasized each and every word of hers as she looked like she wanted to slap life into the King's slowly dying hopes. The sovereign was clearly discouraged!
It was inevitable. After all, how could a mate bear to watch his other half suffer like this?!
This seemed like a personalized nightmare for him. Like his worst fears materialized into reality, taking away the one thing he had been searching for years.
He just got her for a few days and didn't even get to spend some quality time with her once because of all the meetings about the things related to the kingdom and also those incessant rogue attacks.
His mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts as he stared helplessly at the huge flame, that was none other than his burning
mate.
He knew how harsh the fire was when Calpin burned him from inside. And he couldn't imagine what Abby was going through right now.
The longer he looked at her, the more regrets he felt.
Meanwhile, Mirella could see what was going through the King's mind right now, but this wasn't the time to crumble and give into his fears. He needed to pull himself together first, or else, he wouldn't be able to help Abby.
She knew she was not strong enough to stop the backlash when she couldn't even nick a scratch on the fire she
faced before, while the one created from Abby's backlash clearly looked twice as powerful and intense.
They needed to make a quick call!
Or else, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"MICAH!" Mirella couldn't care less about formalities and courtesies when her main focus was to protect Abby at all costs. "MICAH!"
She shouted, as if her life depended on.it and right as the King turned to finally look at her, she explained what would happen if they didn't stop Abby soon.
"Her backlash is getting out of control. If we don't stop her right now, she will burn everything around her," the witch literally shouted in the King's face. "Including herself." Yes, the fire that burst out of her was nothing like she had ever encountered before.
J
"What?" The King couldn't help but ask, not because he didn't understand what she said the first time, but because he couldn't believe his own ears.
And Mirella could understand the meaning behind his question.
"Yes, you heard me right. If this continues, there is a high chance Abby might burn this whole place down," the witch explained hurriedly.
Not only would the girl burn everything down, she might even lose herself in the process, that was if she did survive this
whole ordeal.
She wasn't only dangerous for the others around her, but also detrimental to herself.
In the worst case scenario, she would be killed as well in the process.
All those years ago, Riley, Abby's mother, knew what would have happened if she hadn't stopped the power backlash in time.
However, the problem now was; Mirella was clearly not as powerful or daring as Riley to take responsibility for bringing back Abby this time.
She was afraid she might worsen the situation and escalate the inevitable with her messy attempts.
She saw how the wall of fire created by their enemy literally absorbed power from every attack she launched at it earlier.
It literally swallowed all the fireballs she threw at it!
Not to mention, the one this time looked even more scary. As such, she was forced to second guess every action of hers while questioning her own powers and abilities. She explained the same to Micah.
"Which is also why I don't think it is wise for me to use any fire magic on her right now," Mirella ended her long speech, her face twisting with worry as she looked at Abby. After all, it wasn't wise to add more fuel to the fire when it was already beyond control.
On the other hand, the King, who had been listening to her, couldn't help but tighten his fists at the realization that they basically had no way out of this.
Mirella couldn't counter the fire while Abby wasn't in a state to control her own fire.
'She wasn't herself right now!'
This was what Mirella told him, as the girl couldn't see, hear or feel anything.
And the King could also see it clearly.
It was like they were at a dead end!
However, he needed to try until the last second.
Suddenly, Micah got an unprecedented thought. "What if she comes back to her senses?" he asked the witch, who looked at him like he just lost his mind.
'Did you not listen to anything I said for the past ten minutes?'
The question was on the tip of Mirella's tongue when she saw the King brace himself to walk toward the fire in the next
second.
Was he planning to shake Abby until she came to her senses?
That would be pure madness!
And that was what she told the King.
"Are you mad? Going in there now is equal to committing suicide!" Mirella tried to reach for Micah who didn't budge at all
in the face of her disrespecting attitude.
Any other time, the witch would have been beheaded for her words alone. But neither of them could care less about such things when they had more important things to concentrate on.
That was Abby!
Saving others and herself from Abby took the top priority now.
So the King didn't bother answering Mirella, as just the execution of the idea in his mind weighed heavily on his actions.
On the other hand, Mirella didn't understand what he was trying to do.
"Micah! Let's think of another way," the witch said all kinds of things, but Micah wasn't ready to hear any of it.
He thought long and hard, but couldn't come up with anything that could help Abby except one thing.
What if he marked her?!
All other ways were already closed, and the King could only resort to this method.
