Fire.
In all her years of living, the princess had never seen so much all at once.
Scarlet light poured from the skies. Everywhere she looked, fiery attacks blazed down on them. The temperature boiled in an instant.
Beside her, Magnus and Kiara’s expressions had paled. The attacks came from all sides... they were surrounded.
Still, an intense frown sat on the princess’ face.
’How dare they.’
That someone would dare ambush them... people needed to be taught their place.
She raised her hand toward the sky, eyes glowing gold.
"Divine shield!"
A golden beam burst from her palm. As it reached the sky, it exploded into an all encompassing dome.
The fiery attacks struck in an unending wave of explosions that shook the entire forest.
The princess’ eyes narrowed the next moment.
’Hard.’
The very thought disgusted her. That a bunch of lessers would stress her will to such extent.
’I’ll crush their skulls.’
The light in her eyes grew brighter, but then sharpened. Her shield hadn’t taken care of all the attacks. Some had phased through it, like it didn’t exist.
’Shit!’
Not all attacks were from gods. Some were from other champions! She spun towards Kiara and Magnus with urgency.
"Take cover!"
But the duo was already moving. Magnus became lightning, Kiara a streak of gold. As the attacks reached, they weaved through each one, deftly evading them. They hit the ground in a concussive burst that shook the earth.
A moment later, the princess breathed a sigh of relief.
’They’re fine.’
But the coldness in her expression only deepened. She blamed only one person for this.
The Great Verge.
been the one who dared restrict someone of her magnificence. If he hadn’t done something so stupid, would any of these insignificant ants dare raise their heads in her presence?
’I’ll pummel him after this.’
The princess’ eyes sharpened as the smoke that engulfed her shield vanished, but what she saw next froze her heart.
Larger and fiercer attacks rained down from the sky, blotting out the sun. The sheer heat and power they radiated hissed and warped the air.
She gritted her teeth, and poured even more will to her shield. It flared, glowing brightly just as the attacks hit.
’Fuck!’
The princess staggered back, teeth clenched hard as the pressure mounted.
"Princess!"
Kiara’s worried scream barely reached her.
’No... no.’
Cracks spread across her golden shield, and an unimaginable amount of pain assaulted her being. Yet, she refused to accept.
That a bunch of lessers could best her will... impossible.
’I am greater than all. Nothing can make me bow.’
"Princess! We should run!"
Kiara called out once more, but the princess didn’t even turn to her.
The very thought of escaping had never occurred to her.
It didn’t matter who they were or what they wanted Atticus was under her protection. Magnus was under her protection. Kiara was fucking under her protection.
Yet, these fools had dared attack them.
Her face twisted into pure outrage as she roared.
