406 The battle of the Royal Palace part 6
Caleb had exactly the same impression as Colin so he took a chance and tried to reason with him as Colin had just suggested to him : “Look, we don’t have to fight, all we want is to get Lena back…”
The Titan immediately protested : “I will never let you near her…”
And Lena at that moment, who was sure she recognized Caleb’s voice, tilted her head to the side to check if her ears were not playing tricks on her, and she smiled immediately when she recognized him.
She immediately grabbed Atlas’ arm and she said to him : “My love, they are with us, you can trust Caleb, please… My sister will surely be able to help you heal…”
Lena then stopped and as she couldn’t see Sora she asked Caleb : “Where is Sora ?”
Caleb immediately lowered his sword, and everyone followed his lead and also lowered their weapons, then he told her : “Another group went to rescue her and I saw her this morning and she was fine… Lena, I’m so sorry I couldn’t come to rescue you sooner.”
Lena smiled at him relieved to know that her sister was okay and that a group had gone to save her too, and as Atlas’ black flames were still around them, she told him trying to reassure him and make him understand that they were safe now : “Atlas, they are my friends, they are here to help us, you can let go now.”
But Atlas didn’t move and he didn’t say anything either still staring at Caleb because he was apparently the leader of this group.
Lena then said to him feeling really helpless : “You are using your last strength, please stop… or you will die.”
Lena gave Caleb a desperate look and he smirked then as he looked at this Titan : “I haven’t introduced myself properly yet, I’m Caleb, a Warrior Spirit under the command of the God of War.
Lilith and Cassandra were forced to retreat to Lilith’s personal dimension and Cassandra was in an even worse state than you, so they won’t be coming back anytime soon.
Plus we sealed the world of the Titans and hopefully won a month before the war really started.
Lilith is cut off from her army and she only has two Knights of Darkness left, I personally killed the third one and the fourth one was killed by the one leading the group that is freeing Sora.”
He added : “The demon territory has already been cleared of Titans and those bitches’ men and when this battle will be over, with my brothers in arms we will hunt down every last one of their men still in human territory.
This world is now free from the grip of these two Goddesses and it is under the protection of the God of War himself, so dispel your black flames or I will have to call someone to do it for you.”
Lena was astonished by what Caleb had just said, and now that she was paying a little more attention to the details, she could see the Absolute Warrior symbol on his forehead.
Atlas finally felt relieved and he made his flames disappear, if this world was under the protection of the God of War then Lena was no longer in danger and as soon as he made his flames disappear he immediately collapsed on the ground.
Lena rushed to see how he was doing but Caleb stopped her by taking her in his arms and he said to her : “Atlas is contaminated by black particles, you can’t do anything for him and you could be contaminated in turn if these black particles ever manage to penetrate your body.”
Lena was still struggling and he could understand her because apparently they were lovers and he had probably been injured trying to protect her… If it was Kelan who was lying on the ground in this state he would have already lost his mind.
So he said to her : “Trust me, I know I wasn’t able to protect you before but I promise you that we have the means to save him, okay ?”
Lena then wiped her tears that were rolling down her cheeks and she said to him : “We need to get him to Sora as soon as possible, she is the only one who can save him.”
Caleb shook his head and he said to her : “Lena, Sora can’t do anything about this kind of injury but I’ve already told you, we’ll take care of him… Colin ?”
Colin was already examining him and he said to him : “That’s beyond my skill too… I just warned Miguel and he’s gone to get Jordan, if needed I’ll bring Ian back to you too.”
Colin was eager to return to fight but he waited for Caleb and Lucas to give him the green light to leave to join the others.
Lucas nodded and Caleb said to him : “You can go, I will call you if we need your help to bring Ian here.”
Colin smiled and once he was left, Axel also asked them if he could go join Kevin, and Lucas then told him : “Ok, but use your dimension to move around, even though you have become very powerful, you can still get killed if you have to fight many opponents.”
Axel thanked him and he left immediately to join Kevin by using their dimension to move as he had promised to Lucas.
A few minutes passed which seemed like an eternity to Lena and suddenly two men appeared from nowhere.
Apparently all of Caleb’s friends could move without using teleportation portals and she found that really very disconcerting, then Caleb said to introduce her to these men : “Miguel is the most powerful mage in the universe so if anyone can save him it’s him, and Jordan is a Titan, he joined us not long ago, and he can also use black particles.”
Lena was speechless… The most powerful mage in the universe was right in front of her, she suddenly gripped Caleb’s arm tighter because all of that was a little too scary for her.
