Chapter 37

Alpha Lucas reached the invisible force field surrounding Valecia. He sense many energies. He touched the sand and the sand burnt his hand. “This is the underworld energy. How did he get here?”. He wondered. He felt the force field surrounded the kingdom. The sand in his hand suddenly gave him a brilliant idea of how to get to valecia without been hurt by the force field.
The energy from the sand is the underworld energy and since he is a half demon, he can use the underworld energy. He can use the energy added with his own demon power to break through the shield and also get to Noella.
The blood of Noella that was dripping on the fangs of the king sand walker stained his cloth when he threw it away so if he performs the ritual well, he'll get to Noella.
He tore the part of his cloth which was stained with blood. He cut his hand with his claw,a few drops of his blood landed on the cloth and the wound healed immediately. He grabbed a handful of the sand and sprayed it on the blood.
He sat down on the ground with his leg crossed and he closed his eyes.
……
-THE SHIRLIAN-
The Alphas of Darkness are seen sitting down on their thrones in the Shirlian waiting patiently for the members of the council to arrive. Just moments ago,a divine energy entered their midst but only Lord Ramiel sensed it,but when he raised his head to see the person,the person vanished but Ramiel catched a glimpse of the person's face. It's a male and the energies surrounding him are powerful. They reminded him of Lord Jade. Jade has the same auras as the person but he wondered why the others didn't notice it. He decides that he'll do more investigation on the kid.
The members of the council entered one after the other. They are just five in number. They bowed before taking their seats in the Shirlian.
“Welcome back Lords”, Drakkon,leader of the council said but he got no answer from the Alphas of Darkness.
Ramiel looked at Drakkon,a wicked smile on his face.
“So you still have the guts to greet us after abandoning us in mount vallestrayer”, Ramiel yelled vehemently. His voice echoed throughout the whole Shirlian.
“I am sorry my Lord”,Drakkon said in a melancholy tone.
“We'll settle this later,right now we have many matters to deal with,”Ramiel said.
…..
Nevertheless, he hardly had that typical demeanor. Oliver stood at the highest peak of the mountain. Ever since he drank the white blood given to him by King McLean,he noticed that something had changed in him. He felt more alive and he noticed that many things have changed in him. It was like something that had been locked up in him for a long time was set free. He is a tall man, wide and lean, with a broad chest, wide jaw, hard face, crimson blue eyes, and long blue hair to match the color of his eyes. He felt powerful and at the same time calm.

He was clutching his blade tightly as if his life depended on it, waiting for the right moment to put it to use. O'connor has informed him about the various creatures that roam this place.


He looked below the cliff, stretching his gaze as far as the other side of the black woods, all the way to the opposite side, his vampire sight aiding his view. Volkov is not far from here but they have to be careful. He examined the face of his teammates,they looked determined.
“How many more hours?",He asked O’connor.
“Just a few more hours”, O'connor replied.
“Why didn't we just take the horse carriage? It would have been much faster”,He asked.
“The road is under inspection. People were attacked on their way to Volkov. They claimed that a beast had entered the forest and his Majesty said nothing must happen to any of you”, O'connor answered.

Oliver frowned and said.
“But you also said that there are beasts in this place”.
“We can handle the ones here but we don't know what kind of beast roams that forest”, O'connor replied harshly.
There is something off about this o'connor but he doesn't know. Oliver thought inside. He seems anxious and his body is not calm.
O'connor halted. He faces Oliver and the rest. He dipped his hand into his pocket and he brought out a white substance and he blew it into their midst. He grabbed Noella by her hand and he jumped down from the mountain with held in captivity.
“That rotten bastard. I should have known he was up to no good but I am gonna make him regret his actions. Skylar, return to king McLean and tell him what happened. I and sebastian will look for Noella, " Oliver said.
“But she's also my friend”,She protested.
“Please, quickly go”.
“Fine”.
“Let's go”, Oliver said and he and sebastian jumped down
As they made their way deeper into the black woods they activated their inner sense.
Oliver tapped into some of his wolf strength, speed, and agility. On the other hand, Sebastian activated his dragon powers,his eyes changed to red and his long sharp claws came out.
Oliver followed her scent. He just prayed that nothing should happen to her.

After two miles of walking in the black woods, the two beings finally came to a stop in front of a camp. Written body on it is Blood Pack. This must be the place. He thought inside.
“Is this the place?”Sebastian asked him and he nodded his head.

Black armored soldiers surrounded the place.Their black armor pierced the black wood, a fur coat on top of the armor, each of them with a blade, or at least a dagger. They had their backs facing Oliver and sebastian.

He nodded to Sebastian and the latter smiled. Oliver attacked the men from behind, slaying anyone that stood in his path with the Destiny Sword.

He twirled his blade, using it to slash two men at once. He wheeled around to avoid a blow and then jabbed another man's nose with his elbow. He leaped forward, stabbing three men in a straight line as he went.

He dived low to evade the swipe of a claw and then stabbed his attacker in the stomach. He easily retrieved his blade as if removing a broom from its packs, and then kicked the man in the chest.

He followed with his blade, taking down men left and right, falling anyone that stood in his direction. Head after head keeps rolling down.


“Can you handle all of them?”He asked Sebastian and the latter nodded. “Great!” He hollered. “Can you delay them while I go look for ?.

Sebastian nodded his head. Oliver followed her scent and it led him to a tent.

Two men stood in front of the tent, guarding it, each of them holding a halberd in their hands.

As they saw Oliver charging right for them, they took the position, let out a battle cry, and attacked him at once.

They raised the halberd high above their heads, swung it, and brought it right to Oliver's face. At the last second, Oliver slid onto the earth, the blade missing his face by inches, and the force of their attack blew air at his face.

Before Oliver could stand, the two men easily brought their blades backward, as easily as they had swung them, aiming for Oliver'shead from behind.

Oliver's survival instinct kicked in, and he flipped out of the way. As he did this, he threw his blade. He watched as the blade went straight in the air and impaled itself in the abdomen of the first man.

The man gasped, attracting the attention of the second one, and then distracting him for a second.

And that's it; a second is enough for Oliver. He tapped into his wolf's speed. He appeared in front of the second man, his claw sprouting out, and he stabbed the man's rib with it.

The man gasped, his breath turning hard instantly. Nonetheless, he tried to raise his blade.

Before he could bring it down, Oliver stabbed his neck with his claw, ripping his head away from his neck. “You don't touch what belongs to me,” he scowled.

“You did a great job, Oliver!” A voice came from behind Oliver, complimenting him. “I knew you would come.” It was no other than O'connor.
He was starting to walk toward Oliver with a knife in his hand, which he placed at the base of Noella's neck. “Make a move, and I will slit her throat.” He warned.

“Touch a hair on her head, and I will ruin you!” Oliver growled.
“Will you really do that?”A voice asked and entered the tent is none other than Blake.
