SPELLBOUND Chapter 637 Stay back

Chapter 637 Stay back

It was too late. Zolan did not make it to save the girl.

Just as he had attacked, the monster ripped the girl apart in half. But even at that moment, the courageous light fae still managed to summon out a ball of light despite her body which had already been torn into two parts.

Zolan could only grit his teeth and ignore his burning eyes as he jumped at the monster's head and pierced its throat over and over until it collapsed to the ground, blood spurting out of the wounds and creating a huge puddle of blood right under its own body.

"f.u.c.k!" He cursed and looked behind him, then to the light fae who was now lying lifelessly on the ground. Though he knew that this was inevitable in a war, it still was not a good feeling having to see a young thing like that dying under such unfavourable circ.u.mstances. If only he had moved a little faster.

Clenching his fists tight, he pulled his sword that was covered with the monster's black and filthy blood and approached the girl's body. A strong pang of regret and anger made his heart shake. He seemed to have forgotten the actual feeling on how war was actually like. It truly had been too long since he stared at a dead body this cruelly severed.

He bent down on one knee and his palm slowly covered her still wide opened eyes, closing them finally in death. Then without a word, Zolan picked her sword that was still in her hand before he stood up, staring at her one last time before turning away.

His gaze immediately looked for the other light faes and saw a group of the female ones busily sending b.a.l.l.s of lights toward the monsters, helping not just vampires but the dark faes as well. He gritted his teeth as he saw how they were trying their very best as the auxiliary troops.

They were left vulnerable with that position they were in. If the monsters attacked them, they would be completely helpless and just waiting to be slaughtered. This was a serious flaw none of them should have missed. But he understood that this was a sudden war. None of them were fully prepared. In fact, none of them ever thought that the light faes would be used in this war immediately when they were supposed to be here to learn more about the monsters first.

Zolan headed towards them and saw another couple of dead light faes on the ground as he made his way over. This cannot be happening. The light faes were already so small in numbers, not even a hundred. They must not be the first ones to be annihilated here when they were providing such a big help! His fury raged and exploded within him. The light faes needed to be protected! They were here to help out in a war that was not theirs in the first place. And he also needed to be accountable to Queen Evie on how he was to explain why her precious subjects were dying and falling like flies, one after another.

"Protect the light faes!" he yelled at the dark fae soldiers. "Have some men protect them or they'll all die helping our a.s.ses!" he snarled out at them, his aura flaring wildly in an intimidating manner.

One of the dark fae general nearby immediately ordered his men and the dark faes. There were to be three men each to guard and protect one light fae.

And with that, the light faes were able to concentrate and regroup, sending out more b.a.l.l.s of lights to blind the endless monsters.

Seeing that all the light faes were now sufficiently guarded, Zolan relaxed a little. Now where were his fellow vampires? Looking around, he could not see them anymore. He had heard Leon's voice a while ago but he was nowhere to be seen now as well. He had not seen Samuel for quite some time now too!

"Those guys had better not gone reckless mode and went to fight a giant!" he growled out irritably as he fought his way to where the battle was thicker and oh d.a.m.n, he was right. Samuel and Leon were going against a ma.s.sive monster all on their own. Looking at them, Zolan wanted to facepalm and scream at them.

But he could only groan and join them in the fray.

This monster would not react to light magic like the lower levelled ones do. But based on what he saw from Azrael's fight, the monster seemed to feel the blow stronger if it was being hit at the back of its skull.

"Aim for the back of its skull!" he yelled at Samuel and the duo looked at each other.

The next instant, Leon used his unparalleled speed to distract the giant while Samuel aimed for the base of the giant's skull and swung with all his strength. One strike and the monster jerked and fell to its knees. Samuel's strength was on par with the dark fae lords after all.

Another swift and seemingly well-orchestrated attack and Samuel's sword finally blasted the giant's skull, causing its head to finally fall off its ma.s.sive and broad shoulders.

"Thanks." Leon patted Zolan's shoulder. "We had no idea where to exactly aim on that big lug for a while there."

Before Zolan could respond, they saw another giant, smas.h.i.+ng on the dark fae soldiers like they were made of rags.

Seeing that Samuel and Leon were already prepared to aid those soldiers, he sighed and spoke. "Don't be too reckless you two." He reminded them to reign in their overeager fighting instincts.

"We know." Samuel replied. "But it's not like we have a choice right now anyway. There's no way we can just stand by and watch."

"Then be careful. No… you know what? I'll just come along with you two."

"No, you stay back Zolan, and observe instead. You will be more useful that way."

"How dare you, Samuel!" Zolan threw him a mock protest.

"We will spread out the finding you had found. That last one was really helpful man!" Samuel just continued on seriously. "Stay back and keep on observing. That's the job the queen specifically gave to you after all." Samuel reminded Zolan on his own role.

"But he will be needing someone to guard his back… just in case." Leon b.u.t.ted in.

"Right." Samuel agreed.

"No need for that." Zolan waved his hand, dismissing their suggestion. But both Leon and Samuel glared hard at him.

"We will guard him!" Three dark faes, the ones Leon and Samuel had saved from the earlier giant suddenly spoke up.

"Then we will leave him to your care." Samuel's fist pounded down on the dark faes' backs one after another. "Don't forget that this guy's brain must be protected at all costs."

"This muscle head," Zolan retorted but the other two had already disappeared like a blur, causing him to sigh out helplessly.
