" The king is a fraud! Long live lord Max! "
" Congratulations prime minister Asiva, I think the lord may come home soon! "
" Haha, this is the most joyous day of my life, all the charges levied on the lord were false! "
" Was the Vampire King always so vindictive? "
" Let's go make preparations for the lord's return, the palace should shine brighter than it did at new years "
The atmosphere within the dombivili palace was joyous. However, just as the palace staff and some of the territory's most important personnel including Christian Grey, Jathi, Sebastian and Severus began celebrating, Angakok inched closer and closer to Asiva.
With a blood blade in his hand, he moved without leaking the slightest aura and with the stealth of a veteran assassin.
With a hood draped over his head that covered most of his face from plain sight, Angakok moved naturally as if he was a part of the palace staff itself as slowly but surely he came within a striking distance of Asiva.
Asiva was wiping off tears of joy, her back turned towards Angakok as she was talking to the palace maids who had held her hand in joy and were talking about how they wished to decorate the place in anticipation for the lord's return.
She was completely unaware of the threat that loomed as Angakok did not let any of his killing intent leak either.
He grit his teeth vindictively as he aimed the first strike straight at her lower abdomen with the intention of piercing Asiva's womb.
Angakok wanted to carve Asiva up from the centre and split her into two halves for Max to find a horribly mangled body at his return, however, as he tried to pierce Asiva's back, from seemingly out of nowhere, at a speed that transcended even Angakok's attack, Zippo stood before his mistress and the Shaman God as he pushed Asiva away with his back and took Angakok's stab straight into his gut.
-1,030,000 CRITICAL HIT!
" Ambush! " Zippo shouted, as panic ensued inside the dombivili palace.
Asiva, who had been pushed aside by Zippo at the right moment, turned to see the purple eyes of Angakok as her heart skipped a beat.
The attack was definitely aimed at her, however, it was her bodyguard who saved her from a certain disaster.
Asiva immediately pulled out her daggers, her skin dazzling in a luminescent glow as she activated her bloodline ability as a moonlight warrior, preparing to engage Angakok if necessary.
Angakok who was irritated that his sneak attack failed tried to push Zippo aside and try again, however, despite the dagger being plunged straight into his abdomen, Zippo clutched onto Angakok's hand and refused to let him pull out.
" Don't be a fool, RUN! " Zippo shouted in a commanding tone as he insisted that Asiva run away.
Zippo was prepared to hold off Angakok enough for Asiva to escape, even if it cost him his life.
An intense staredown lasted for a couple of seconds between Angakok and Zippo as Angakok progressively increased the strength behind the dagger and dared Zippo to keep up.
However, Zippo stared straight back into Angakok's purple eyes with his jet black one's and did not let the Shaman God budge.
Listening to Zippo's shout, Asiva decided to slowly retreat, however, before she could go far, Angakok activated the power of the seed of time and froze his surroundings in place.
" Ant " Angakok said as he proceeded to pull the dagger out of Zippo's abdomen.
Angakok slashed it across Zippo's chest just because he did not like the look in the Black dragon's eyes as he gave him a deep gash while he was frozen in time.
Zippo could feel the pain, he could still see Angakok move, however, against the seed of time he felt his body to be powerless to actually muster the strength to move.
It wasn't just him who was frozen in time, everyone else was too.
Some were frozen in movement trying to run away from Angakok, Severus was running towards him, probably to support him in his fight against Angakok while Sebastian who had an extremely mean expression on his face, had already unleashed a powerful lightning blast towards Angakok, however, just like him, everyone else and their attacks were frozen in time too.
Angakok strolled leisurely towards Asiva who was now facing him and had an ashen pale expression on her face.
She was just a tier5 mortal and found it impossible to move inside Angakok's immobilisation spell as her motherly instincts screamed at her that the life of herself and her child was in danger, however, there was nothing she could do about it.
" Ohhh how badly did I want to see that look on someone's face!
I so desperately wanted it to be your husband who saw me this way, however, I'll make do with you for now " Angakok said as he relished the fear in Asiva's eyes as he teasingly walked towards her.
Catching his dagger from hand to hand, Angakok mocked Asiva and everyone else around him as he paused just for a moment and pointed it at Sebastian as if to taunt the dwarf " What can you do about it? "
Like the disgusting bastard that he was, he leaned in very close to Asiva, until there was only a centimetre gap between her nose and his as he stared into her crimson eyes while stroking her belly.
" Say goodbye to your child " Angakok said with an evil grin on his face as he pulled back his dagger and prepared to plunge it into Asiva's abdomen.
A single tear drop fell from Asiva's eyes as the fear inside them was apparent.
She wanted to scream.
Wanted to scream at the top of her lungs for Max to help.
She wanted to beg for mercy if that was what would save her child's life
However, not a single word came out of her mouth.
Just like the rest of her body, her mouth too was immobilised by Angakok's spell.
