The sun rose over the branches of trees and as first golden strings slowly touched still sleepy bird on it, a caravan appeared between two sleepy hills."We are close. Soon I shall destroy the town and take over this place. It is perfect as a home for us." The man in white smiled as his skin had movement. He gave a stare at a group of people standing far away and waiting for him.When he arrived in front of them, a woman descended from the carriage and bowed. "Master, we were waiting for you." The lackey opened the door of his carriage and he slowly came out. He looked at the beautiful woman and scoffed. "Master? What did you do to stop one of my children getting killed?" He hit her with the foot and sent her flying.
She hit the floor with yelp and rolled few times, but then stopped and started crawling back. "Master... please master... Forgive me. That man willingly jumped into array. His will to belong to us was not strong enough. He..." She coughed blood and stopped crawling as she lost consciousnesses.He turned his eyes towards quivering old woman and approached her slowly. ""Speak the truth."
Her eyes turned white as she started talking with deep voice. "She spoke truth. The love for his wife was stronger than my cousins strength. He struggled through consciousness and in second of his own lividity he literally fell like a log into the array. I could feel the strings that connected him with the host breaking and his body rejecting him. That moment cousin was expelled out the host and was destroyed by the lightning out the protection s.h.i.+eld."The man scrunched his eyebrows and slowly neared the array. He could literally feel the power from array even before he got close to it. He rose his hand to touch the beginning of the array, but suddenly he felt panic from the creatures inside his skin.
He looked at unconscious woman and with blink of eye he appeared next to her. His hands ruthlessly grabbed her head and he threw her towards the array. Her body flew through the array and stopped. Suddenly he heard scream come out her mouth and he could literally feel the desperation from the worm that got detached from the host.The worm slowly crawled out her nose and suddenly from nowhere lightning appeared and turned the worm into dust. The rage he felt before amplified now even more. He had to sacrifice one of his own for such thing.
He turned towards the caravans and waved his hands. Suddenly people started appearing one after another with a battered body and under the whips of his lackeys. He growled as he grabbed an old woman and dragged her towards the array."Your clan is strong and is unable to hold my creatures, but your psychical powers are good enough. Concentrate on people of town and make them dismantle the array." She shook her head and then threw her sight towards the array. " I already felt the boundary even before we got here, but your people didn"t listen when I tried to speak and hit me. Sigh... It"s literally impossible to pa.s.s this obstacle neither with our mind or your force. Do as you wish, but don"t say later on I didn"t warn you. This place...its hard stone for you to nibble on..."
He started pacing and then stopped. He saw path around the array and it seemed to go far. "How big is it actually? The array?"The old woman approached with steady steps, unlike her age and spoke. "The array seems to be quite big. Look at hills. Everything between the hills is array. There is a town, the fields, the lake and stone mine. When the people came here and set up the array, they used the stones as basic material. Yesterday, the people from town as it seems added more of those stones. I tried to get close to it to move, but it was so painful that I gave up. What now?"
The old woman looked at his face that showed so many emotions, but then he calmed down. " It seems we need to call those people from dragon and demon clans. Unfortunately they are unsteady. I need to call the grandmaster. If we can take over the town and learn about the array...""Impossible." The old woman stopped him. "It was those newcomers that made the array. The townspeople have no idea about it. Even tho they have smaller protection array before, but even that they had no idea how it worked. Sigh. If we came before this..."
She turned her head and sized the young woman in array with a glare. " That one is really greedy to belong to us. Maybe we can use it for us. She is good tool. What do you think? "He looked at the young woman and smirked. "We can use her definitely. " Everything that happened was seen by the silent Isaa and Kendra that sat quietly on the cloud and hovered over the city. Not to be too suspicious Kendra waved her hand and produced more clouds and soon light drizzle started falling over the people standing there.
Isaa tugged her clothes and pointed at slowly waking up woman. Kendra nodded and put finger on her mouth to silence her. Isaa understood and nodded as she turned her sight towards the woman still laying on floor.Her hair was scattered and filled with dirt, moss and branches. Her pretty face was filthy from dirt and blood from the cuts she got and one of her hands laid strangely, it seems it got dislocated. Her eyelashes slowly trembled and she opened her eyes.
First thing she saw was man in white and old woman staring at her. Her back became cold as she realized that the precious bug inside her was gone. She tried to look at him, begging, but he just stared at her with rage and disgust. She shook her head, no impossible. She slowly stood up and tried walking towards them but then fell down as her legs gave up under her. It seems they were broken as well. She slowly started crawling towards him as her back became soaking wet from the pain she felt all over the body.
Her pace was slow and painful, but she continued with determination to crawl towards them. As soon she exited the array the man in white moved slowly towards her with anger written all over his face. She flinched slightly when she saw his shoes in front of her, but then rose her face towards him. "Husband, please forgive me."
He sighed and lowered his body towards her. "You killed one of my creatures, maybe you should pay the same way." He straightened his back and waved at the carriages. Two people held twin baby girls by their arms and swung them here and there."" No, don"t. I will do whatever you want me to. Please don"t harm my children." She shook from pain and fear. "Those are your children as well. Please don"t hurt them, please..."
He waved with impatience towards the two people that held two screaming children. "The noise is annoying. Take them back. Unfortunately these two are unable to include in body my bugs as well, or they would be perfect. Somehow they have resistance towards the bugs. If they could, I would love them endlessly. But you failed to give me proper children. So I will use my power to cut our connection and we won"t be husband and wife from this day onwards. The children will stay, I need to find out what happened so the next time new children won"t fail me."" No ,don"t. Please....I will do anything you ask me for. Please..." She begged as she rose her hand towards the babies carried away by the two henchmen.
He turned his head towards her and sighed. " You will do anything for me?"" As he saw her designated nod, he smiled coldly. " Go kill the elders of the town and destroy the s.h.i.+eld and array. I will give you three days. After the third day, if the array and s.h.i.+eld are not down, your children will become my test objects. And you know what I do to treat test object, don"t you?" She nodded and with determination in her eyes slowly crawled back towards the array and s.h.i.+eld. For her children ,she is ready for any heinous crime, even patricide.As she crawled back the s.h.i.+eld slowly opened up and as she pa.s.sed the array she entered the s.h.i.+eld that closed behind her. What she didn"t know is that only The Elders and Kendra could open the s.h.i.+eld, no one else.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
As she crawled with determination towards the town a young childish voice could be heard. " She still doesn"t realize the problem, right?" She turned her head and saw two children sitting on the cloud and staring at her with big eyes. " Woman, we are here to help you, but you must first stop and understand one big problem you left there. After realizing the problem we will help you. "She looked at them and slowly lost her consciousness. Suddenly she started dreaming and it was nightmare...
