Chapter 1008: The war (2)
In the middle of the battle, Mammon and Wrath came to confront Jedrek. The two devils smirked viciously at the Alpha.
The white beast snarled and charged forward to tear the devils into shreds and the fact that these devils from he'll couldn't be killed no matter what only aggravated him further.
How would one win this war if they couldn't even take down his enemy?!
Though they won against them in the first war, it didn't mean the devils disappeared from this realm, only their powers were weakened, as they conveniently resided in the castle, living under the same roof as the king of Lycanthropes, after successfully manipulating their father to side with them.
Then what about now, how should they take them down?!
Above them, around thirty to forty dragon beasts were trying to kill the creatures from hell, but unlike the fire dragon shifters, these earth dragon beasts couldn't breathe fire, thus they could only use their claws or wings to fend them off.
However, they couldn't land and had to keep flying, because the moment they landed, thousands of creatures from hell would swarm their bodies and wouldn't let go until they dug their sharp claws and talons and killed the beast right there and then.
It had already happened to three earth dragons and the rest tried their best to not touch the ground when they fought them.
Meanwhile, the white beast snapped his jaws at Mammon's hand, as the devil shrilled, but then he drew a silver dagger from its pocket and was about to stab the beast's head.
Fortunately, Lilac had anticipated that and coiled his body with roots before bringing him to his knees and split the ground beneath his feet.
Yet, that was not the end of the devil, as he disappeared and reappeared behind their backs and chortled.
"Do you think you can kill me? Don't you know that you can't kill me?" Mammon laughed hysterically and the Wrath only looked at the white beast in defiant arrogance.
Right at that time, something moved very fast toward Lilac's direction and before she could avoid it, she was toppled to the ground from the white beast's back.
Lilac grunted and gritted her teeth when the hard ground came in contact with her body.
On other hand, the white beast immediately came to her side, preventing her from rolling over any further.
Lilac groaned and felt her already wounded shoulder was dislocated. The pain brought tears to her eyes and distressed the white beast in turn.
A spine- chilling, savage, and feral roar escaped from the very depths of the beast's soul upon seeing his mate groaning in pain.
Lilac leaned her body against the white beast and breathed heavily, but she bit her own lip from letting out a whimper, she didn't want to give the devils that satisfaction.
From the corner of her eyes, Lilac could see each of the Donovans were facing two devils, aside from the creatures that came in their way without fear even after witnessing the situation of dozens of their fellow creatures that were being shredded into pieces.
But then, that was expected from a being without soul.
Meanwhile, the other lycan warriors fought viciously, erupting in flurry of fierce growls and snarls, gnashing their canines on their enemies, as the butchery ensued.
The white beast immediately lunged toward Lucifer, aiming him upon what he had done to his mate.
The white beast aimed for the devil's head, but as he dodged it, his claws slammed into his ribs instead, breaking the body of the devil apart.
Yet, just like what had happened earlier, the devil appeared once again not too far from them, looking all fine.
Lucifer then raised his hands, as he spoke in a voice that strangely rang through the entire battlefield, it was strange indeed, as if the devil had whispered right into their ears.
"Stop!"
And then two things happened almost simultaneously. All the fighting was stopped, the earth- shattering roars could no longer be heard, just like a war movie that was suddenly paused, they were standing in their last spots before Lucifer commanded them to stop, and then everything came to halt, as though the time had stopped ticking.
The dragons fell to the ground with a loud noise.
It was only the Donovans that could still move freely, aside from Lilac and the devils themselves.
All the devils immediately gathered around Lucifer, enunciation the very meaning of sevens deadly sins. Kace and Torak did the same, as they flanked Jedrek and Lilac.
Kace shifted into his human skin and helped Lilac to stand up as Jedrek and Torak stood on guard.
"Are you all right?" Kace asked and held her shoulder, feeling where the bones were dislocated. "Hold on."
Lilac nodded weakly and braced herself for the incoming pain when Kace repositioned her bones. A deep anguished groan escaped her lips when he did that, as the white beast beside her nuzzled her face to offer some comfort.
"This power is really amazing, don't you think so?" Lucifer asked no one in particular as he scoured his surroundings, where many creatures and beasts' were frozen in place, not even able to move an inch from their spot. "Such a huge power… it feels so good when it runs in your being…" he hummed in delight.
Lilac took a deep breath, "Where are the other guardian angels?"
But, it was Asmodeus, who answered her, since Lucifer was too engrossed with his power. "Do you think we will answer that?" she chuckled lightly. "Apparently, Belphegor took a liking for one of the guardian angels, I don't think he will give her back."
Upon hearing that, Torak let out a vicious growl, he was about to charge forward if not for Kace who stopped him in time.
Meanwhile, the said Devil, only smiled lazily and tauntingly at the golden beast.
"Do you want to see something even more fascinating?" ignoring the tension radiating from the beast, Lucifer continued. "Look at this."
As soon as Lucifer snapped his fingers, the time started ticking again, except for the lycan warriors.
