So...... this time, I will die without a doubt.
In this instant, all that could come to Wingerâs mind was a lovely and stubborn little face, his cold eyes showing a flicker of reluctance at that image.
Princess, Iâm afraid in the future... I canât stay with you anymore.
âWatch out!â Dragon Flame saw how a lightning was directly coming down above Bai Ning and Wingerâs head so he hurried to drag the woman away. The old goat wanted to save Winger too but if he tried to move him as well, it would be a pointless effort because the target was obviously him.
Boom!
This time the impacting force was incredibly violent, more so than any other strike from before. And sure enough, Wingerâs body instantly exuded a burnt smell and appeared scorched and black.
The old goat couldnât hold it in anymore despite his own fears of that power. Letting go of the queenâs mother, he sped over to his acquaintanceâs son to see if heâs fine. He knew it wouldnât be good, but the condition of the victim went beyond his expectation: Winger had reverted back to his beastial bird form and laid there silently on the ground.
âWinger?â He calls out tentatively to see if thereâs a reaction. At this moment, the old goat felt indescribable pain as emotions ran wild in his old heart.
Unfortunately, no response came of that beckoning. Thereâs only blood, a reddish burnt fluid seeping out of Wingerâs body, a sure sign that the worst possible outcome has befallen the victim. Against this sort of picture, Dragon Flame knew itâs too late for him to help.
If it wasnât for these people from the Celestial Realm... he wouldnât have died! This is all those bastardsâ fault!
âDragon Flame, you go deal with those people, Iâll think of a way to save him.â Bai Ning says with clenched teeth, her eyes sharp as a knife while staring straight up at the looming cloud of electric might above their heads.
Although Wingerâs status was that of a guard in the city, but make no mistake, everyone knew the bird man couldâve fled without sacrificing himself. Heâs here because of Bai Yan. For that reason alone, Bai Ning mustnât give up even if it means challenging whatever powerâs behind that thunderstrike.
Just as the proud womanâs about to step forward to do the unimaginable, a light call suddenly came down from the rear, âMother?â
After hearing this voice, the startled woman gradually looked up, her sight slowly landing on a similar face to her own, âYan Yan, when did you get back?â
Normally Bai Ning would have it no other way than to have her daughter return as soon as possible, but this moment here in the heat of a life or death battle, she didnât want to see the girl.
Bai Yan did not answer Bai Ningâs question, only descending with her son in tow from the sky.
âMother, whatâs going on here?â She didnât miss the burnt looking bird on the ground and the incapacitated Keepers further away.
Bai Ning couldnât respond to that due to an unexpected change in the air. Right as the mother and son came down, this grandmother immediately noticed the power from the lightning promptly increasing and growing more tyrannical.
And......
Instead of focusing in on Winger like it did before, the lightning bolts are now focused entirely on Bai Yanâs spot!
âYan Yan, be careful!â The grandmother urgently raised a hand to drag her family behind herself. Thankfully she did so too because right afterwards, a lightning bolt had come striking down and leaving a deep hole right in front of them on the ground.
Bai Yan gawked at the suddenness of it all.
All she knew was that people from the Celestial Realm are here looking for trouble, but these thunder bolts, why would it want to kill her?
âMother, are you all right?â Furrowing in the brow, Bai Yan reaffirms everyoneâs wellbeing before looking for her own husbandâs shadow.
Itâs within reason for this demon queen to expect her partner the demon king to be around when an invasion force was at their doorstep, yet Di Cang was nowhere to be found. At this realization, an uncomfortable sensation rattled the womanâs heart.
Did something happen to him?
âWhereâs Di Cang?â She asks with a worried note.
