Near the ruin north citadel-
Seraphine’s POV:
“Hyaa”, with a roar I sliced apart another Asuran soldier, blood splattering on my face.
“Thaddeus.... how many more of them are left?” I asked my most trusted lieutenant after catching my breath.
“My lady eliminating those Thirty foot-soldier now only twenty foot-soldier, and two wraith Asuran are left”, Thaddeus replied after he effortlessly beheaded another one of those foot-soldier and quickly launching a big fire ball enhanced with lightning to a group of Asuran, with loud bang those helpless Asuran turned to dust.
Till now there is no sign of General Auriel and his squadron. Celestia is fending off the attackers at the south tower of Citadel, Lucious is busy at the east tower, Caspian at the south tower while Elara is evacuating everyone to the Royal palace.
“Portal ready?” I asked Thaddues while freezing five foot soldier and sending a wind blade towards them breaking them to pieces.
“yes my lady!”, he replied while conjuring a big fire ball charged with lightning and aiming it towards some ten foot-soldier. The soldiers began to run amok but it was useless, as the big flaming ball of lightning fell upon them. With a loud bang, soldiers vanished leaving behind a big crater.
Seeing the fate of their fallen comrades the remaining soldiers were trying to back away, the fear in their eyes are evident. I motioned Thaddeus not to pursue them as he was about to unleash another one of his attacks.
Suddenly a black figure jumped in, halting the retreating soldiers. Upon closer look the figure appears to be a young Asura, with long red scarlet hair, his two violet horns curving upward, wearing that unfamiliar red armour with some traces of black, there in his chest the dragon was painted in bloody red.
“Lord Volgrim!” Asuran soldiers cheering in unison. Some were even clapping, their morale suddenly increasing.
“You’re strong top of that beautiful too... it seems rumours were quite true”, Volgrim remarked, his voice laced with undeniable flirtation.
“Uh kid, I think your neck would look much better without that shitty head of yours”, I said irritably. “Thaddeus, take care of him, I have to go help them”, I commanded Thaddeus.

“Beautiful lady whe-“, Volgrim’s voice got cut short as Thaddeus blade was almost inches from his poor neck.
“Your fate shall end here” Thaddeus menaced. Volgirm step back, rubbing his neck. The rest of the Asuras were dead quiet.
“who? By you!? ahahahaha” Volgirm burst into a laughter. “lets see how many minutes you can last!”, Volgirm casually drew his swords, but without taking any stances.
I almost forgot I have to find Suwan and Elsiya. Without wasting any more seconds, I took off opening my Six wings. There have been some rumours of Thaddeus having six wings, which is kind of true and false at the same time. He may have four wings but his strength is almost that of six wings.
As I soared up high, looking down I could see the destruction those Asura’s caused. The beautiful Archon realm now lay in ruin. What’s more puzzling is how the Asura’s suddenly became so powerful, and those traitors. After the royal family and now this. “Even though I couldn’t save her, I will protect her daughter...” all these events are making me remember about Valarian, my husband. tears welled up in my eyes. As each tears escaped carried away by the rushing wind, I felt a cooling sensation against my cheeks.
Just when I was reminiscing about those bittersweet pasts, through the corner of my eye I spotted Suwan and Elsiya engaging with someone.
Upon closer look it look like the infamous wraith division commander. I began to conjure a hard ice’s lance and strengthen it with wind element to make it spin faster, I hurled it towards her.
Elsiya took hold of Suwan and jumped away from the impact, with a loud bang the lance impacted, creating a fog of dust. I started to descend just when the dust got blown away by a fierce wind.
The wraith commander’s armour was broken, blood dripping out from her shoulder. Even though I aimed at her head. Ah So she is fast, and doesn’t use defensive spells much or not at all. Suddenly the atmosphere changed. Such an intense bloodlust.
“Ahahahaha, here comes The STRONGEST Archonian”, she cursed as she began pouring a bottle of healing potion over her wounds. “Lord Krynnor would be SO PLEASED if I Brought YOUR HEAD”
Her voice is so annoying. “Just shut up and die”, conjuring another dozens of ice lances I aimed it towards her.
She tried to sidestep it, but a few of them grazed her chest and neck leaving behind a tickle of blood.
“YOU…YOU SHALL GET THE BLOODIEST DEATH SERAPHINE”, Suddenly the air began to get hotter around her, crackles echoing as lightning started to coat her entire body. Blue flames began dancing on her horn.
With a downward swipe of my index finger, I summoned a well of gravity on Nyxara, slamming her flat to the ground, the ground cracked from the heavy force. I watched as she struggled to get back up. Suwan and Elsiya stood a few metres away, their eyes glinting with pride.
Chuckling, I conjured an ice sword above Nyxara, emanating frosty blue light. Suspended momentarily, as it hangs ominously, with swift motion the conjured blade hurtled downwards, cutting through the air-ha?
In a split second, a fast projectile intercepted the icy blade postponing Nyxara’s death. “Krynnor?”, I asked steeling myself for the inevitable match. But defeating him might be a problem.
“Lady Seraphine”, he intoned as he descended from the sky moving closer to Nyxara’s unconscious body. “I can’t let her die here she is still my commander after all.”
I leapt back to where Suwan and Elsiya stood, both frozen by the Krynnor’s oppressive presence, those two children need to survive this, no matter what. “Krynnor, is this what you were after all along?”.
