Chapter 1046  Helpless Predicament

Had it didn\'t help, it\'s uncertain whether Flunra was able to endure the shockwave.

It took a moment before the fiery remnants disappeared.

Glancing at the princess quickly, he sighed in relief seeing that she was completely fine.

Just as expected, there was a protection mechanism around her.

None of the shockwave and fire from the explosion managed to reach the edge of her body.

Observing his surroundings while still having his hands remain on the princess, cleansing her from the sealing energy—Flunra found that the once dignified place had completely changed into a ruinous and scorched room.

Black spots could be seen across the walls and ground.

However, his eyes didn\'t focus on the devastation and instead searched for Adhara.

Flunra had to make sure that she was okay.

On the periphery of his vision, he saw a silhouette slowly standing up. Initially, he thought that the silhouette was Dorlus, but he was pleasantly surprised to realize that it was Adhara. She endured several wounds, and her severed arm was also halfway to regenerating back to normal.

Aside from that, she seemed to be fine, she\'ll definitely live without a problem.

"Where is he?" She mused, sweeping her eyes around cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Flunra also searched for Dorlus\' whereabouts, he\'s definitely not dead yet.

Knowing what he was capable of firsthand, Flunra is sure of that.

Eventually, Adhara saw a crack on the other side of the wall, and there was a figure planted in it. Obviously, the figure was none other than Dorlus. With a somewhat rigid motion, Dorlus grappled to get off the wall before landing on his feet again.

It was clear that he was not fine from Adhara\'s attack.

Adhara could spot several burnt marks across his body, exposing the second layer of his skin to see. Blood could also be seen trickling down the corner of his mouth, depicting clearly the internal damage he suffered.

However, the aura around him was still the same, or perhaps even more dangerous.

Receiving that attack was surely not a great experience.

Breathing roughly through his mouth, Dorlus raised his gaze to meet with Adhara\'s.

His face was burnt hideously, the damage from the explosion made his face disfigured, but Adhara and Flunra couldn\'t help but frown seeing that there was a glowing mark located on his shoulder, catching their attention.

Squinting his eyes, Flunra tried to decipher the mark.

\'His family rune should be located at his back, not his shoulder\' He pondered with a frown.

But when he took a proper look, his eyes widened in horror.

"Had I not deployed it sooner before your attack, I admit, I underestimated your attack and might have suffered severe injuries. You\'ve got some guts to defy the First Breath, Female Alpha," Dorlus declared abruptly, his lips slowly curling into a smile of madness.

In the next second after he said that, the mark on his shoulder glowed vibrantly.

Almost instantly, his wounds were healed back to normal.

"K-Kingly energy?" Simultaneously, a mysterious energy brushed against Adhara\'s skin, her eyes were forced to widen in realization at what the mark was, "A Herald Mark... He also has a Herald Mark, and what\'s with its kingly energy? It\'s cold yet scorching at the same time"

Despite finding the kingly energy weird, Adhara felt like she had sensed it before.

Boom!

Out of nowhere, Dorlus\' body exploded with his kingly energy.

Adhara quickly moved forward and stopped right in front of Flunra, she then raised her only arm to block the incoming kingly energy. She hisses in pain as her arm and body are burned greatly by the kingly energy.

Upon lowering her arm, she saw that the walls around Dorlus were turning into blue ashes.

It seemed the kingly energy devoured the Ice and Snow moonling energy.

But it was then that Adhara realized what is the moon behind Dorlus\' Herald Mark.

Yule Moon.

Realizing that it was the Yule Moon, Adhara\'s expression paled, she distinctively recalled that during the Yule Moon, Rex, herself, and Kyran went down to the underground canyon, hiding from its light.

Had they been exposed to its embrace, they would have turned into ash.

No Werewolves are an expectation from this, that is except for Kyran\'s Werewolf form.

"Impossible... Yule Moon doesn\'t take sides!" Flunra exclaimed.

However, his breath got stuck in his throat when he realized a haunting possibility.

Beads of cold sweat trailed down the side of his face as he looked at Dorlus in horror, he now realized that the situation had turned dire—when he thought that it couldn\'t be, \'Don\'t tell me the one that wanted Lord Rex dead is actually the Yule Moon Lunirich God?!\'

Rumble!

A thunder rumbled inside Flunra\'s mind when he came to this realization.

Such an occurrence is unthinkable.

Despite Rex\'s stubbornness and blasphemies against the Lunirich Gods, he couldn\'t come to believe that he managed to gain the attention of the Yule Moon. Out of the Lunirich Gods, he was the most troublesome one.

It was because the Yule Moon had never favored or championed any Werewolf.

Many believed that the Yule Moon Lunirich God represented balance and harmony.

Because of that, Flunra swallowed harshly as this had become very dire.

Adhara raised both of her hands—returning to her battle stance when she saw Dorlus going down, crouching with both of his hands spread, touching the ground. It seemed to be some sort of stance, judging from the killing intent oozing out of him.

Realizing the change, Flunra snapped out of his trance and looked at Dorlus.

His pupils dilated at the sight of this stance.

Flashes of the past came rushing into his mind as the past trauma resurfaced again.

He vividly remembers what happened after Dorlus went into that stance.

Quickly, he shouted a warning at Adhara, "RUN! DON\'T CONFRONT IT HEAD-ON!"

"Female Alpha, you\'re getting annoying..." Dorlus muttered silently, his eyes shot a massive amount of killing intent towards Adhara. "I have no time to spare for you, and since you\'re a persistent one, I apologize for not being able to fulfill my promise"

Upon hearing this, Adhara frowned as she could feel her blood run cold.

Even then, she was not going to go down easily.

Swoosh!

Circulating the power of her bloodline as the singular proxy of the White Omircron, she shot a white beam, made entirely of the White Omicron\'s energy towards Dorlus. She was intending to disorient Dorlus from charging his attack.

Knowing that it worked before, she was confident that this would be enough.

It should be enough to buy her time to attack first.

But as the white energy encompassed Dorlus\' body, reacting strongly to the fact that he was a Werewolf, a weird phenomenon happened. In spite of the white energy trying to dig into his body, another force prevented it from going through.

Slowly, Dorlus\' Herald Mark spat more energy and pushed back the white energy.

A feat that none has been able to do.

Even back when she evolved for the first time, she could influence everyone with the power of her bloodline—including Rex. He might not look affected, but Adhara knew that she could influence him if she wanted to.

Naturally, he would be able to sustain it better than the other.

Yet, it\'s impossible for him to nullify the power of the Anti-Werewolf bloodline fully.

On the other hand, Dorlus\' Herald Mark was able to do precisely that.

Championed by the Yule Moon\'s power, the white energy was nullified, and her bloodline had no impact on Dorlus\' form. He was free from the weakening effect, and this realization made him smirk evilly.

"Adhara! It\'s not worth it! We\'ll retreat now!" Flunra exclaimed in horror.

He was not going to take the gamble of awakening the princess at the cost of Adhara\'s life.

However, Adhara rebutted, "No! Keep your hands on her, no matter what!!"

Ignoring the argument the two were having, with Adhara being stubborn, wanting to provide Rex with the help he needs to ensure his survival—and Flunra on the brink of abandoning the task from Iseldra, Dorlus made a devastating move.

Boom!

Crack!

Under his might, the ground cracked as he dashed onward, breaking the sound barrier.

His dash sounded like a fighter jet at full speed.

Sensing the incoming attack, Adhara swiftly directed the violet serpent to shield herself and Flunra with its coiled body. Unable to spot Dorlus and facing an intense crisis, she made the decision to employ this defensive measure.

It would at least give a layer of defense for any attack that came their way.

Darting her eyes around, her heart began to thump harder.

\'Where is he? I can\'t sense him anywhere, there\'s no trace of him!\' She exclaimed inwardly.

Even though Flunra was still constantly beckoning her to run away in the background, fearing that she would lose her life, Adhara clenched her jaw and pressed on in alert. Only then that she pivot her body around, sensing a danger coming from her back.

At that moment, her eyes flashed, and she took in one last breath.

Through her eyes, Adhara witnessed Dorlus rending a hole in the violet fiery serpent\'s form, delivering a piercing blow to her stomach with his radiant blue claws. Despite the vividness of the scene, it felt eerily akin to an illusion, as in reality, nothing transpired.

\'What is this, vision...?\' She murmured, trying to grasp the line between reality and illusion.

But in the next second, she blinked her eyes.

Swoosh!

Just like she envisioned, Dorlus tore a hole and moved in for the kill.

It was exactly like the vision she had seen earlier.

However, even though she knew what was about to happen, her body couldn\'t react to it.

Splash! n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Haargghh!"

"ADHARA!!"

For a second there, her vision blurred before an excruciating pain infiltrated her body.

Grasping the situation she was in through a blurred optic, she saw Dorlus standing right in front of her with an icy expression. Her eyes then trailed down and saw his claws stabbing her chest, right below the neck.

Blood gushed out of her mouth as her body started to connect to the damage she suffered.

In reflex, Adhara grabbed Dorlus\' arm.

She tried to pull his arm out only to be disappointed by her minuscule strength.

"Dorlus! I\'m right here!!" Flurna shouted, his voice was hoarse from all the shouting earlier. "I am the one who you are after, the awakening process is almost finished!! Come and get me, or you\'ll lose the chance to kill me again! Leave her and fight me!"

Upon hearing this, Dorlus chuckled devilishly, savoring Flunra\'s desperation.

"What\'s this...? Since when are you attached to those you protect? This isn\'t like you, Arnulf" Casting a glance at Flunra, his smirk spread even wider and lifted Adhara off the ground.

Gritting his teeth to the point of veins bulging with ferocity, Flunra wrestled internally. His desire to release the princess clashed with the hesitance induced by Adhara\'s compelling gaze, leaving him ensnared in a predicament.

"I can see that the process is still short 3 to 4 minutes, plenty of time to torture you after I finished her off. I\'ll make this day a nightmare for you, Arnulf," Dorlus threatened, enjoying every second of this situation.

Unable to bear to look at Adhara\'s condition, Flunra turned to the princess again.

His attention was split between awakening the princess faster and checking Adhara\'s state.

Just then, the veins in his eyes bulged when he saw Dorlus summoning something.

Exerting delicate control over his dense kingly energy, backed by the Yule Moon, he conjured an astral spear—its jagged spearhead lethal before it turned solid. Flunra doesn\'t know what Dorlus was trying to do, but he doesn\'t want to know.

He was afraid of Dorlus\' next move.

"Please, don\'t do this," Flunra pleaded earnestly. "The Executor already became a common enemy, and there\'s hope for peace once he\'s defeated. If you proceed, the war will resume. Please, it\'s me that you want. You can do anything to me, but just leave her..."

Listening to Flunra\'s pathetic and soft plea, Dorlus looked down momentarily.

It appears he was contemplating his action.

However, he soon raised his face again, exposing his lethal intent, "No, this is it, Flunra..."

"By the decree of the Lunirich Gods, I will execute"
