The Silver Crescent Alpha Prince

Chapter 492 - Battle (3)

Bianca looked at the Shadows whose eyes were glowing like red-hot charcoal. Once again she had an ominous feeling that Sedora was trying to contact her.

"You should join me, Bianca…" She could hear her soft, ghostly, eerie voice coming from a tunnel.

"Together, we will rule this world…"

Bianca froze for a moment. Even in her state, she felt she couldn't move.

"If you will join me, you will become the queen of the dark world," her voice floated in Bianca's mind with icy chillness as if touching her with a thousand year old frozen glacier.

"You are my blood… can you feel the power?"

Her reverie broke when the Shadow's eyes became red like flame and a beam suddenly broke free from it. She ducked and the beam struck a spirit behind her. The spirit shrieked and started burning. "Nooooo!" It shouted.

Immediately she yelled out her orders. "Attack their eyes!" Because this was where Sedora was watching them from. Now she understood. The eyes of the Shadows were somehow manipulated by the sorceress and through them she was seeing every movement of the war.

She leapt at the Shadow, who had shot the beam and pierced her bolt in his eyes. The thing strangled and scratched at her to tear her apart and drag her off her horse. Bianca was shocked as to how could the Shadow latch on to her considering she was just energy, soul, that no one could feel or touch. She peeled the Shadow off her and Daryn stabbed it. The Shadow's body trembled and crumbled into dust.

"Daddy, go for their eyes, because that is what she is using to watch us!" she cried over the top of her voice. Yet another Shadow charged at her and Izar leapt to meet it. Bianca's sword pierced the Shadow's neck, leaving dust as its body trembled and disintegrated.

Caleb shouted, "We can't kill them easily! This batch seems to be more powerful than the last one. They are here to kill the spirits too." He stabbed another Shadow that was trying to lunge at him. He looked around. A large horde was closing in.

Bianca shot her orders to the Cadvals. "Take your men to the outside of the circle the Shadows are forming around us and start decapitating them. Go for the eyes!"

The leader of the Cadval nodded and instantly along with his people, disappeared from there. They appeared where the last of the Shadow was seen. He raised his hand up towards the thundering sky and snatched a bolt that Bianca had sent their way. His people followed the suit. Soon they started rampaging the enemy.

Bianca noticed that not all the Shadows' eyes were burning red-hot. It was only a few whose eyes glowed like that. That meant that not all were as dangerous.

The souls and their queen fought until the next day till the sun had almost set. The large group of Shadows was slayed and sliced and without an exception their eyes were pierced. There were blood curdling cries as spirits who were burnt by the red beams of the Shadows cried in pain and got lost in the war. Bianca should have felt exhausted as she fought non-stop for the past two days, but as a soul, she only felt more powerful. Power thrummed through her like a raging storm. And she wanted to unleash that power over the Shadows, over Sedora. When she had the last Shadow on her sword, she looked into its red-hot eyes and conveyed to her, "You want to rule the world with me? Too bad! Because I want to impale your head on my sword. Wait for me." There was eerie silence from her side, but Bianca knew that Sedora was listening. "Your blood? I wish it turns into water and I bleed it out!" Communicating that she penetrated her sword in the Shadow's neck and sliced its head from the eyes.

Daryn was watching her from the corner of his eyes as he battled with the last of the Shadows. He knew that she was trying to send a message to Sedora. He trotted up to her. "Did you talk to her?"

She nodded as she signaled other kings to join her. "I sent her a message that she should be ready for me." Caleb and Lazarus came to her and they stood by her side.

"Has anyone got affected in Ixoviya?" she asked.

Caleb's lips turned down. "There have been plenty of casualties, but now that the threat is gone, my people are going back. They had come out to support Daryn and me. They were transporting their powers to us as we attacked and killed the Shadows. It left them weak and some of them got killed." He became silent feeling the loss. He looked up at Bianca and asked, "Is the threat over on this side?"

Before she could answer the Cadvals came to her. The leader said, "I have sent half of my men to Nusgroth. But I heard that Kar'den has prepared a large fleet of warriors to attack Aztec. As of now, these warriors are marching towards Aztec."

Bianca scoffed. Sedora knew her weak point, but she didn't know that Bianca was ready for her. "Then we go to Zor'gan!" she announced. "Tell you men to inform the werewolves and the wizards to launch an attack on the winged demons when they are halfway to Aztec. Don't stop them at the outskirts of Zor'gan. Ask Ileus to strategize the attack. It should be a pincer movement. They should surround the Zor'gan demons and ambush them from all the sides.

"Yes, my queen," said the Cadval. "Any news for the king of Aztec? He is waiting to hear from you for two days…"

Bianca became quiet for a moment as she stared at the Cadval. She couldn't imagine his nervousness. "Tell him I am fine."

"I will," he replied.

"Give him all information about Zor'gans' attack and ask him to stay prepared."

The leader disappeared with his men after nodding. However, he left two Cadvals with them.

As they trotted on Bianca's side, Caleb asked, "Bianca, you should have asked Ileus to attack the demons right at the perimeter of Zor'gan. Why are you allowing them to travel halfway to Aztec?" He felt irritated by her decision. "This would bring additional headaches if they would defeat Ileus and Dmitri. And march forward"

She looked at the darkness that was slowly engulfing the blue and gray sky. Thunder and lightning was still streaming across the dense clouds that hung low. She spirits were moving alongside—a white sea. "Sedora knows that I am coming for her. That is why she wants to attack Brantley. She wants to distract me, scare me. And I want her to think that she is scaring me. Leading the winged demons army out will leave her in a vulnerable position, and will leave Kar'den in a vulnerable position. I think that if Kar'den is moving such a huge army to attack Aztec, then Sedora is definitely governing him, giving him order." She looked up at the skies. "We will be easily able to attack Zor'gan."

"But I am sure that Kar'den wouldn't employ his entire army to invade Aztec. He would retain some over there. And from what I know, he has a large army!"

Bianca held the reins of Izar to bring him to a halt.
