Chapter 762: Death and betrayal
Warlock didn't even have time to fight back when he felt his own body being ripped apart by the shadow tendrils.
What was happening before Theo's eyes was very fast. He was stunned when Warlock's blood sprayed on to his face and cloak.
And in the next second, after ripping apart Warlock's body, the shadow tendrils targeted Theo. However, this time he gained his bearings just in time and dodged it.
Theo threw back his body and bumped into Kyle behind him. "What is that?!" he was taken aback, he thought the enemy was only what he was seeing before his eyes, little did he know, the true enemy was behind his back and now he sent himself into their very hands.
Theo's focus was on the dark tendrils in front of him and the dead body of his fellow general, therefore, it was too late for him to realize when Kyle seized his hands as Rowan slashed his throat.
Kyle let go of Theo's body as he fell on to the floor with blood spurting out from his opened throat. He opened his mouth, but only a gurgling sound could be heard.
Even being a lycan couldn't help him much now, his healing ability was not fast enough to recover him from the deep wounds. He lost so much blood when his skin finally started to stitch together.
Theo tried to press the wound with his own hand, but it didn't help. He would die from losing so much blood at this rate.
"Are you sure, do we need to do this?" Rowan wiped the blood from the silver dagger that he used to slit Theo's throat.
However, Kyle snatched it away and stabbed Theo's heart with it. "We don't have a choice, do we?" He tilted his head at the shadow beside Rowan, which had solidified into human form. "Dorian, you are so bold to come here in this kind of situation."
Rowan glanced at the man beside him and gave him a disdainful look. "Thanks to you, now we have another problem to deal with."
"Didn't Terra tell you not to interfere this time?" Kyle was slightly upset because he had to kill his fellow generals. Knowing Jedrek, he would get to the bottom of this and it would restrict his movements.
"You should leave." Dorian kicked Theo's body which was still convulsing. "The witch will be here soon."
"It is so nice of you to worry about us, but we can handle it just fine. It was you, who should not be here from the beginning," Kyle criticized the shadow warrior.
Dorian glanced at Kyle and Rowan with disdain. "Don't worry about me you wretched dog, I will not overstay your welcome."
Kyle and Rowan growled viciously when they heard Dorian's contemptuous words.
At the same time the shadow warrior stepped back and let his body fell from the window and then merged into the darkness, Serefina appeared from the other end of the corridor, panting, with concern on her pale face.
"What happened here?!" Serefina shouted at Kyle and Rowan before her lime-green eyes spotted Warlock's dead body and Theo. "What happened to them!?" panic and dread were evident in her voice as she crouched down.
From a closer look, Serefina could see Warlock's body that had split into two from the chest. The witch gritted her teeth, as she stood up hastily, and averted her eyes from the gruesome scene in front of her.
"I will escort you from here, my lady." Rowan offered his hand to help Serefina, who seemed very shaken, yet the witch shook her head and dropped to her knees again.
Serefina inspected Theo's body, though it was only a small movement, she was able to see his chest rising and falling from his shallow breathing.
"He is still alive," Serefina muttered and pulled out the knife stuck in his chest. She covered the wound on his chest and neck as her palms glowed with yellow light. This magic helped the wounds to close in faster, but it was not quick enough. "We need to bring him to the healer!"
The witch's focus was completely on Theo, her mind was thinking about how to save this lycan, but she didn't realize the strange exchanging stares between Kyle and Rowan.
Rowan sneaked behind Serefina's back, but Kyle threw him a deathly glare, telling him not to do whatever he was about to do.
"What are you two doing?!" Serefina whipped her head and glowered because neither Kyle nor Rowan did what she told them. "CALL THE HEALER NOW!"
==============
After Jedrek took Lilac to her room and tucked her warmly under the quilt, he went back to his room before delegating two more guards in front of her chamber.
However, before he could enter his room, Jedrek felt something from the bond that he shared with the generals. A bond was snapped. This was the same feeling like when he killed Maximus.
Something must have happened to them.
Narrowing his eyes, he tried to reach all of his generals, who were still in the castle. It didn't take him too long before he knew what was happening.
With dark eyes, Jedrek stormed toward the third tower.
==============
"We should kill her," Rowan murmured under his breath while glaring at Serefina, who was standing across the room. Between them, there was a healer, who was trying to save Theo's life, he was lying on the bed, the duvet on which was soaked by his blood. "This will not end up doing any good for us."
Kyle, with a face that was devoid of any emotion, trying to reason with Rowan. "We can't do that. Our job here is not finished yet."
Rowan scoffed, but he didn't say anything.
"The king is here," Kyle said. He felt the raging storm that came in their way.
And just like they had predicted, the king appeared in the next second, all in his furious and enraged self. He dashed toward the healer, as his dark eyes caught sight of Serefina there.
"What happened here?!" He asked the two generals across the room.
