Chapter 1016: Chaos in the city
"Serefina…" Hope called her name and ran toward the witch, she hugged her very tight and in a very rare occasion, Serefina reciprocated the same affection.
The witch hugged the girl and whispered, "This is the time."
Hope was confused when she heard that, but even before a question could leave her lips, she saw Lucifer standing behind Serefina.
Out of instinct, Hope immediately jumped to the side and her body became tense when she noticed the devil glaring at them with his golden eyes.
"What is the meaning of this Serefina?" Lucifer hissed viciously at the witch.
Only when Hope heard that question, did she realize where they were now, since she was very familiar with this place. After all she had been here for quite some time with the moon goddess.
They were back to the realm which belonged to Hope.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!" Lucifer was about to charge toward Serefina and Hope, but the guardian angel knew very well that in this realm, she could do everything she wanted.
Therefore, before Lucifer could take another step closer and hurt them, Hope waved her hand and the white floor beneath the devil became very soft, and started to suck him down.
The solid ground became a quicksand pool that trapped Lucifer's body up until his waist, which rendered him unable to move or even to approach Serefina and Hope.
At first, Hope thought her cheap trick would be easily overpowered, but who would have thought that the devil's power was not applicable in this realm. The realm that belonged to her.
It seemed, it was not only Lucifer, who was stunned by this fact, but Hope as well.
Now, the two pair of eyes were staring at the witch, who didn't look in a good shape, but there was a triumphant smirk at the corner of her lips.
"Do you really think that I gave you such power for free? You underestimated me and overestimated yourself too much," Serefina said mockingly.
==============
Calleb got the news that there was a huge commotion in the city, where the humans had been chasing down the shifters.
It went without saying what they would have done to those shifters once they got their hands on them.
Not only that, the lycan warriors who reported the incident also mentioned about the dragon beast that appeared in the subway station all of a sudden.
"Dragon beast?" Calleb frowned. Since he couldn't shift into his beast's form, he had to take a car with Ethan to reach that place, with a few lycanthropes running along after the car beside them. "Which dragon beast?"
The only dragon beasts that they knew was the fire dragon and the earth dragon, yet aside from Theseus that he had killed earlier, Calleb didn't think there were other dragon shifters around this area.
Or, maybe he was wrong?
"Drive faster," Calleb said to Ethan. Even from here, they could see the barricade of cars belonging to the authorities, which was not allowing anyone to come closer.
"They closed the street," Ethan said with a frown. "What should we do now?"
Calleb clicked his tongue when he watched this, but they didn't have any other choice, with the number of lycanthropes that came with him, there was no way they would have a civil conversation.
"Run through them." Calleb fixed his eyes on the people who wore grey uniforms not too far from them.
Seeing the mass of werewolves, they yelled and shouted at each other, the officer in charge gave a hasty order to take out their weapons and aim them at the incoming confrontation.
A clash between the humans and the non- human existence was unavoidable.
"Sybil!" Calleb called out to the witch who sat at the backseat, as Ethan stomped his feet on the accelerator, sending the car flying in the air, as they moved very fast.
"I know," Sybil said, she opened her hands wide. "Keep the car steady," she said to Ethan while she was trying to concentrate. It was hard to put a barrier over the moving objects.
Meanwhile, the human side felt the same tension as they aimed their weapon sat nearly two hundred beasts which came at them in full speed.
"We need back up! We need back up! Now!" The officer in charge talked through the walkie talkie in his hand, asking for help, because he knew they wouldn't be able to hold back such a horde of non- human existence.
"Get ready!" he roared and all the weapons were locked on their targets in the next second. All of them took shelter behind their cars, which lined up in front of them and served as their shields.
And when the horde of the werewolves was close enough that man gave the final order.
"FIRE!"
Almost at the same time when the order was being issued, a hundred silver bullets were shot at the non- human existences before them.
However, there was one flabbergasted thing that happened.
All the bullets froze in the air and dropped to the ground helplessly, never reaching their targets, creating some eerie clinking sounds as the humans watched the werewolves jump onto them.
A shrill scream pierced through the air, as those humans dropped to their knees, stretching out their arms in front of them in an attempt to defend themselves from the imminent danger.
They could even feel their heart dropping to the ground along with their bodies, as they thought this was their end.
However, it took quite some time for them to realize that the beasts didn't even care to kill them as they marched forward to the locked down city, where many other authorities were trying to chase down the non- humans appeared in the subway station.
They were not harmed at all, but that near death experience left them floored and speechless, neither of them could even lift a finger as they watched those beasts sprinting further away from them.
Their bodies were shaking in fear, they needed some quality time to catch their breath before chasing them, but it didn't matter since there would be another batch of enforcement that would stop those creatures.
