390: THE CRATER

THE CRATER

Lucifer's fair face twisted hideously as they moved very close to him. His body bulged with muscles and his head turned red as his golden eyes became darker. Even the whites of his eyes were turned to the color of the night.0

The shadow that surrounded the city had disappeared, but lights still have not come back yet, thus it was extremely dark.

Only the full moon was serving as a witness for this bloody battle.

Raine tried to raise her head and shuddered at the scene around her. The smell of burnt flesh and blood began to fill the air around them.

Roars and snarls echoed every now and then.

From above the beast's back, Raine watched everything that played before her eyes. She heard the guttural snarls of Raphael's beast before she saw it. The beast leaped from behind Torak as he caught the neck of Belphegor with his teeth, who was jumping from behind Lucifer.

The Sloth wanted to take the opportunity when Torak was occupied with Lucifer. But, Raphael stopped him mid leap.

Raphael swung the head of the devil in his mouth and threw him to the other attackers on his right.

Torak growled menacingly and reeled back, preparing to attack. Raine cried out and almost fell when Torak suddenly charged forward, meeting the devil's attack and then they lobbered each other.

Moments later Torak jumped, clawing through another one of the devil's minions or vampires and halted for a moment, giving Raine's enough time to readjust her position.

The first witch beat the beast and came up to Raine's left and lashed a spell at her, yet before the curse could befall upon her, a fain tray of light hit it and repelled it.

Raine turned around and noticed that Serefina was having her time, wreaking havoc on the enemies around her.

The smirk on her lips, indicated that she was having so much fun while killing those poor creatures with the assistance of Calleb beside her, who did the same thing.

Those beasts around Raine were so vicious and didn't stop even to take a short breath while killing one after another enemy. Their primal instincts were on full alert.

The creatures that the devil's brought from the darkness, shrieked and died continuously.

Apparently the existence of their Alpha helped a lot to boost their spirit as they were fighting even better. This was why the Alpha's position was a crucial part.

Also the reason why those Lycanthropes were hesitant to fight against the devils when they thought that their Alpha had died.

Alpha Ryan and Jenedieth had thought about it a lot, yet they miscalculated one thing, no, they actually underestimated the very existence of Raine.

They would have never thought that Raine would manage to survive the attack from Belphegor and the others as they have Raine's best friend on their side.

In the end, that haughty mindset of theirs had led them to their own end.

Raine braced herself when the beast's legs left the ground before they dropped a hundred meters away. She thought, she would fall as a result of the aftereffect as her mind raced and her breathing turned ragged.

By some Miracle, Raine didn't fall but she struggled to keep her balance as the beast maneuvered through their enemies, sprinting and leaping relentlessly.

It gnashed its teeth on the enemy's flesh.

The scenes were gruesome as blood splattered around in the air. A surge of sheer horror surged in Raine's veins.

Raine didn't know what kind of tactic that Torak and his pack members were using.

But, when Raine noticed it again...

Their position had already switched. Now the Lycanthropes were circling the devils and their minions.

Though at first they were outnumbered, but by some miracle the Lycanthropes and Serefina, managed to kill more than they thought they could kill.

The progress was very fascinating.

At this point, they could corner those devils and the remaining numbers of Vampires and Witches.

There was a short moment when Torak and Lucifer exchanged a silent gaze and snarled before Torak charged forward.

At first Raine couldn't see it, yet as Torak moved closer toward Lucifer, Raine could see the eerie huge crater with huge fire that was dangerously out of control from beneath it.

This was what Aeon talking about. They had opened the gates of hell. The Tartarus appeared in their realm. In human world.

The only question that crossed her mind was; what would happen then?!

Raine felt a chill run along her back when Torak's beast led the Lycanthropes and stormed toward their enemy.

The number of the devils' minions had outnumbered the beasts', yet the beasts were massive. They could easily overpower them.

Torak was pressing hard and unleashing the full extent of his power.

Raine watched in astonishment as Torak's beast tore apart the devil minions one by one with seemingly no effort.

The beasts penetrated deep into where Lucifer was standing, or flying mid air.

The Pride flew so high above them, looking down with a gloomy face at the battle below him.

His face became even more hideous when the Lycanthropes managed to push those minions back to Tartarus.

Yet, he could think about that later, because right now, Torak had jumped onto him.

Torak's beast leaped so high and made the look of amazement on Raine's face shift to horror when she had almost fallen off of the beast's back.

Raine cried out in fright the moment her grip loosened. She started to fall. Feeling his mate falling from his back, the beast let out an animalistic growl.

However, before Raine's body could fall on the fierce battle ground beneath her or got a concussion because of the impact, a dark shadow engulfed her entire body and protected her as she landed safely on the ground, far enough from the Lycanthropes and the devils.

"Aeon…?" Raine adjusted herself as she hurriedly stood up. Aeon appeared in front of her.

"Stay here." Aeon said to Raine as his eyes met the Alpha's beast eyes and he nodded ever so slightly.

From afar, Raine watched as the beast bit down Lucifer's leg and threw him toward the flaming crater in the middle of the yard.
