Chapter-84
Seeing Victoria as a form of Maahes, Madeline couldn’t help but take a few steps back.
Concealing her whole energy, she called all her energy that she had sent to kill people, knowing all too well that she might need more than this energy to fight Victoria this time.
“Victoria, this, how come you,” Christopher started. However, rather than answering him, Victoria growled loudly, making him take a step back.
She was not Victoria at the moment. She was a form of Maahes, and History has witnessed only one such appearance. It was something that no one living in the world at the moment knows about, not even the gods that rule the species.
Turning her head, Victoria looked at Alexander and Ashton, her insides trembling as she saw them coughing black blood.
Feeling a sudden surge of anger and energy flowing inside her, Victoria lifted her hands in the air, releasing some mystical sparkles from her palms, confusing everyone.
Daniel Neptune, who had been informed by Azrael that this person was none other than Victoria, looked at her, wanting to know what was she doing. When he came to know that Victoria has turned into the lion that almost scared the life out of him, he was both shocked and amazed as he hadn’t heard anything like this happening, not even in the books.
When Azrael told him what she has done, he had known, Azrael has used all of her remaining power to help all of them. The soul power could’ve been used to revive Azrael and call her back to life, but she gave up her life to save the world.
Coming out of his thoughts, he looked at Victoria, wanting to ask her what she was doing.
However, before he could do that, he saw everyone falling on the ground as they fell asleep. Even the witches who were helping the humans to teleport fell asleep.
She must’ve made them fall asleep to prevent them from witnessing what was going to happen next. Daniel thought, nodding at his premonition.
The people that were awake were Christopher, Daniel, Madeline, Ashton, Alexander, and well, Victoria.
“I heard you asked a little girl to call whatever God she wants to call, to save herself. Of course, I couldn’t save her, but I can save more than just her now. Don’t you think so?” Victoria asked, her long golden hair flailing in the air like magnanimous tea branches.
Madeline, who was still shocked, closed her eyes, feeling remorseful for her past actions. She was so blinded by taking over Victoria’s body that she didn’t even realize Victoria’s soul hasn’t been completely removed from the world.
Not only that, but she also let Azrael’s soul leave her body freely. If she had directly killed Azrael, then that bitch of her sister wouldn’t have gone and performed this spell, which was more than a powerful ritual. If she had killed Azrael, then she hadn’t used that holy water to call upon the ultimate God to help her and create this form of Maahes.
“You think you can kill me? What are you, a lion? Haha… Do you think you can kill me just because you have gotten yourself a powerful body with long claws? What are you planning on, clawing my heart out?” Madeline scoffed, gaining back her confidence, knowing all too well that she was just Victoria’s soul, trapped in a lion. That there was no way she will have the eternal powers of the five elements that have the power the kill her.
“Of course, I don’t think that. I believe that I have that power to kill you. Or better, I have the weapon to kill you. I don’t need any power to kill you, only my will is enough,” Victoria said, making Madeline chuckle loudly.
“We will see that,” Madeline said before she raised her hands in the air and threw a large fire rock on Victoria.
Seeing the fire rock coming at her, Victoria tilted her head and held the rock in her arm before crushing it into Million pieces, shocking Madeline.
‘Ho-ow is that possible?’ Madeline thought as she looked at Victoria closely.
How can she hold a rock thrice the weight of her in her arms like this? What kind of powers is she possessing? Everyone thought.
“Let’s not waste our time with this small catch the rock game, yeah? How about you come here and let me tear your soul? Your old soul that should’ve died a thousand years ago has been rotting and stinking the environment for quite some time now. I am here to do a little bit of cleaning. Won’t you let me do it peacefully?” Victoria said, smiling menacingly at Madeline, making her angry.
“How dare you,” Madeline shouted before she closed her eyes and started to collect all her powers as a large circle started to create around her.
Seeing the large circle around Madeline, everyone immediately understood what was she trying to do, and everyone widened their eyes in shock.
She was gathering the elements of all the powers inside her and was planning to attack Victoria with all she got. Even a king as powerful as Christopher was afraid of what she was thinking of doing and can’t help but look at his granddaughter, who was standing there, looking at her without any interest.
“Victoria! Be careful! She is-” Ashton said, coughing blood as he fell on the ground, his eyes shutting.
“Ashton!!” Victoria shouted, her mind panicking when she saw him falling like this. It wasn’t long before Alexander also fell to the ground as a lifeless body, and Victoria ran towards them, concerned that she would lose them, her grandma’s words that only one will survive, echoing in her mind.
Victoria, who was busy looking at her mates, and had let down her guard, widened her eyes when she heard a scream close to her, making her turn around as she looked at the scene in horror.
Madeline, who has released all the powers to attack Victoria, stood there shocked when she saw Daniel coming between the powers and Victoria as he took the attack on himself.
Seeing the hundreds of cuts on Daniel’s body that were bleeding profusely, because he was trying to protect her, Victoria rushed towards Daniel, placing his head in her lap.
“Why would you do that? Why would you risk yourself to protect me?!” She screamed at him, his smiling expression making her madder.
“I almost cost your life with my stupidity. I just wanted to make sure that I am paying back enough. I know this is nothing in front of how much you love us, but as a mate, I still wanted to try doing some sacrifice for you, just like how you’ve been doing for all of us,” Daniel coughed with a sad smile on his face.
“Are you stupid? I know that you love me enough. Why would you take the blow? I could’ve survived -”
“Can you not look at me like this? Your lion face is creeping me a little,” Daniel coughed with a soft smile, and Victoria immediately placed her head on a stone before sitting in front of him.
“Daniel, you’ll have-” Victoria started, but before she could complete her sentence, Daniel closed his eyes, making her eyes go wide.
Stumbling back as she looked at the three bodies lying there, Victoria looked at them in horror before she pulled her hair in frustration.
“What did you do?” Victoria asked Madeline.
Madeline, who thought she was victorious in making Victoria feel the loss, was about to answer her cunningly, happy with her work when Victoria spoke again,
“You snatched away the only reason I was being human, didn’t you?” Victoria asked, her voice deep and sorrowful as she looked at Madeline with red eyes, something Madeline was starting to feel creeped out about.
Christopher, who was standing there mourning for the kings, looked at Victoria, knowing all too well that the hell was about to break loose now. And if any of her mates didn’t wake up soon, then she will turn into another Madeline, and this time it will be not good for the world because it was not about the supernatural anymore.
The Gods were involved this time.
