Chapter 66 - 66: Divine Witch Circe (1/2)
The Divine Lord Foeni and Haru rush back to Limes Temple. The Phoenix Lord is shaking as he imagines the worst possible scenario he could think of.
”Divine Lord, I am pretty sure they are safe. The situation might look dire, but I am sure Eu has already foreseen this. She is always prepared...” Haru told him reassuringly.
He remained silent as he nods. He didn't transform as he flies back to Limes Temple.
There is a worried expression on his beautiful ocean blue eyes. His noble, handsome face can't conceal his pain and agony.
His white over purple robes flutters against the wind. He is sure they are safe, but he still can't help himself not to worry.
Not to mention, how can Eu hide this from him?
The girl is always taking too much burden and not allowing him to support her. He is starting to feel dejected every time.
At this point, everyone looks up to her. She even gained his own men's respect and acknowledgment.
He is the Divine Lord of Mystic whom they supposed to rely on and not Eu. Then again, he just wanted her to put her faith in him more.
He is drowning himself on such dire, conflicting thoughts. All he wanted is...
”Lord Foeni, you shouldn't be hard on yourself. I am sure Little Eu means well...” Haru said, breaking his contemplations.
The black Heterochromia dragon with blue and red almond-shaped eyes spoke. His jet black mane flutters in the wind as his robust wings, and his bulky body flies in admirable speeds matching the Lord.
He smiles as he turns to his companion. He also knew that she means well. He just hopes that she will reconsider discussing matters with him before engaging in such dangerous tasks.
They were nearing their destination when a blinding light enveloped the Limes Temple Grounds. It was so bright that it seems like daylight in an instant.
The night has been unveiled and basks it with this mysterious, purifying light. Powerful magic has been cast and obliterated the darkness in an instant.
'What the...'
The Divine Lord and Haru halt as they cover their eyes. They can't fathom what exactly is happening before them.
Who has the power to create such a miracle?
Meanwhile, in Limes Temple, the Shadows are obliterated in one fell swoop by this mysterious enchantment. It appeared so suddenly and unexpectedly came to their aid.
Gwyddien was surprised as his eyes widen at the image emerging from blinding light. He can't mistake the silhouette forming before him.
”Divine Witch Circe... Mistress...” he mumbled.
His lips were left ajar of the unbelievable scene.
'Why is the Divine Witch here? Is this a dream...? It can't be... Even in my dreams, I can't imagine her suddenly showing up like this...' Gwyddien continues his train of thoughts.
He can't wrap his head on the scene unfolding before him. Even if its apparently beyond his comprehension, he still refuse to understand.
'How did the Divine Witch knows their situation?'
News doesn't travel that fast, right?
Besides, it requires several days to travel across realms, and she will cross two. She can't possibly be there.
'Did she used the Gateway of Realms?'
Meanwhile, Lumina rolls her crystal blue eyes while hiding her amused smile. She knew this Divine Witch has been concealing her presence and observing them ever since her arrival.
'How can you conceal yourself and not help us sooner? You are so unbelievable, Witch...' Lumina murmurs.
On the other hand, everyone else was startled with her excessively display of power. This person just cast a Divine Spell against the shadows and wiped them out in an instant.
Not long, the heavenly light gently disappeared and brought back the stillness of the night. Everyone is mesmerized by the spectacular scene before them.
The radiance of the golden carriage being drawn by two pinkish, pearl white beast with crystal horn remained visible on top of them.
Meanwhile, someone in a white cape gently descended from the sky. His long cape flutters and lightly dances in the wind.
His face remained hidden behind his hood, yet his presence is captivating and continues to entice them. They can't take their eyes away from him.
Lumina has already transformed herself into her cuddly, little form as she awaits this person descends. She can only heave a heavy sigh as she looks around at everyone else.
Poison Ivy is also curious to know about this person. How can she attract everyone without even showing herself?
”Who is she?” Ivy asked Lumina in a hushed tone.
Somehow, it is quite a surprise she didn't know her. How can she not recognize the Divine Witch Circe?
”Who else? Its the Divine Witch Circe...” she casually responded as if she holds no importance to her.
Lumina stretches her body as she curls herself on top of a huge rock once again and rests.
On the other hand, others can't contain their utter shock on the revelation. They can't believe the Divine Witch Circe came to their rescue.
”The Divine Witch, you say...?” Jairu exclaimed.
He looks at her in disbelief. How can she act so nonchalant upon the arrival of someone so important as the Divine Witch?
He is simply flabbergasted.
