Chapter 168 - Go

"As much as I wanted to keep fighting against you, this body might not be able to withstand any more damage. So I hate to say this but our fight must stop here," the dark fae declared in a very condescending manner. Gavriel immediately hissed and attacked but the dark fae was already floating high up in the air where Gavriel could not reach.

"Coward! Come down and fight if you dare." Gavriel growled in frustration but the dark fae simply smirked.

"This is not cowardice, my little vampire prince. This is called being wise." He tapped on his temple. The dark fae was finding much pleasure in aggravating Gavriel from his higher vantage point. "Moreover, you are not my priority right now. I admit you are strong and that\'s why I\'m thrilled to get back my true body so by then, I would enjoy crushing you for real… that is if…" he paused, and the large dark dragon came to him. The dark fae then elegantly descended from the air and landed on the large dragon\'s back. "That is if you could survive, hahaha!"

With his command, the dark dragon breathed fire at Gavriel.

Gavriel was planning to lure the dark dragon away from the walls but the dark fae seemed to have decided to ignore him totally and the dragon headed off to the walls.

Cursing, Gavriel did not waste a moment any longer and ran towards the wall. Knowing that the creature was now going to find his wife. Evie should be in the dungeons by now, right? Zolan should have known to bring her away and keep her safe, right? He kept telling himself that as he finally landed on top of the castle walls.

The dark dragon breathed out fire and burned the soldiers on the walls who were shooting at it. Though it pained him, Gavriel had to steel himself. He could not even go and aid them as his main goal was to ensure that his wife was now in a safe place! That was his utmost priority.

However, the first thing that he saw the moment he followed the sight of the dark fae on the dragon\'s back was Evie. What in the world was she doing there?! His heart nearly burst in anger and worry as he leapt towards her as fast as he could. What the hell was Zolan doing?!!! This was his sole responsibility! Making sure that Evie was safe.

"EVIE!!!" he growled as he raced against the dragon to reach her. The dragon was not going to breath fire. It might be going to pick her with its claw!

The fear that grip Gavriel\'s heart was so strong that his body felt like it had burst into flame itself. His vision was going blurry. Damn! Damn it all to hell! There was no way he could outrun the dragon in its flight!!! That thought made his entire being pulse and something he could not quite explain happened.

And to his surprise, he suddenly had Evie in his arms already. What?! He reached her first?! How?

He did not have the luxury to think about it anymore as he wrapped Evie in his arms securely and they both fell on the ground, causing the dragon to miss her. However it happened, that can be investigated later on. Priorities need to be met first. He needs to bring Evie to safety first and foremost.

"G-gav!" Evie uttered in shock as she looked up at her. A while ago, she was sure that the approaching dragon was going to breath out fire, so she had faced it head on to stop it. But it appeared that she was wrong. And now, Gavriel had saved her.

"F*ck! Evie!!!" Gavriel growled. "Didn\'t I tell you to go to the dungeons!"

His eyes were blazing and filled with rage as he held her. But before she could say anything back, they heard screams and they saw the dragon burning everything in sight as it circled around, aiming for them. It was clear that the dark fae had no intentions on letting Evie go.

Gavriel cursed as he hid Evie behind him, calculating if he could still escape it if they make a run for it now. No, something must be done to the dragon first. Something must act as a bait to distract its attention until Evie could safely enter the dungeons. She must reach the dungeon before the dragon burns down the castle. Since the dungeons are situated below ground and constructed to withstand any natural disasters, it is sure that it would be able to survive the dragon\'s flames.

But goddamn it! Who could go against the dragon at this rate if not him?! Then who would bring Evie there?! He trusted no one but himself in delivering her there himself.

Gavriel had glanced at Zolan and the man had told him through their silent communication that he was under Evie\'s control. He too, did not know how it had happened, but the explanations would have to wait until later. Gavriel did not even have the time to be surprised or get angry for now as the dragon zoomed past them again, its claws outstretched and trying to snatch Evie out of Gavriel\'s arms.

"Evie! Release Zolan!" he said as he dodged the dragon again. "Now! Please!"

"W-what? I… I didn\'t do anything to him! I don\'t know how to release him…" Evie was nervous. She had no idea she had done that.

"Then, command him!" Gavriel replied. He immediately figured out that his wife was not even aware of her own doings. But if Zolan was under her control then, she could him. "Command him to come and get you. Tell him to bring you to the dungeons! Now! Evie! We have no time to lose!"

Evie felt her heart trembled as she looked at him. She felt awful… as if something bad was going to happen and she felt the strong urge to defy him.

"Now! Evie! Please, listen to me!" he urged and Evie could only relent in the face of his panic and obediently did as he said.

"Zolan, come and take me!" Evie said when Gavriel spoke again.

"Tell him to take you the dungeons!"

"T-take me to the dungeons."

As the dragon continued shooting out flames and burning everything on ground level while turning around, Zolan finally approached them. Gavriel gave Evie to him but Evie found herself unable to let go of him.

Gavriel peeled her off him and she started to feel her eyes burn hot. "H-how about you?" she asked and Gavriel momentarily calmed as he realized the look on Evie\'s face.

"Don\'t worry, I\'ll be fine. I promise. Now go!"
