Chapter 194 A Breakthrough?
Maxwell and Levi could both feel Addison’s seething fury, so intense it gripped their hearts like a vice. The rage coursing through her veins echoed in theirs, making it hard to breathe, let alone speak. It was as if her anger was consuming their systems, flooding their vision with red. Their hands clenched, nostrils flaring as they glared daggers at Leon, barely restraining themselves.
Zion, however, who had battled his own darkness and danced with fury more times than he could count, was eerily calm. He had lived in this kind of rage for so long that it no longer shook him.
Instead, it gave him clarity. Where Maxwell and Levi trembled with explosive emotion, Zion could still think. Still speak. Still protect.
But before anyone could make a move, Addison let out another earth-shaking roar, a sound so raw and primal, it tore through the air like a blade. This time, it wasn’t just a cry of anger; it was out of defiance.
In the next instant, as if breaking through the last chain holding her back, a massive obsidian-black wolf burst forth. Her form was fierce, powerful, and majestic. She lunged straight at Leon, her jaws clamping onto his chest, right where the cursed insignia had been etched, and tore the flesh clean off with a sickening rip.
Across the bonfire-lit gathering, the priestess who had presided over their forced union shrieked in agony. She clutched her head as if something invisible was squeezing her skull, her body convulsing under an unseen pressure.
"The G-God... is angry!" the priestess shrieked, her voice laced with panic and pain. "A-Annul!" was the last word she uttered before collapsing to the ground, unconscious.
Then came a thunderous howl.
Addison’s obsidian-black wolf lifted her head and let out a soul-piercing cry that echoed across the vast, silent grasslands. It wasn’t just a howl, it was a battle cry, a declaration of rebellion and defiance. Her form radiated strength and fury, the embodiment of a warrior who would never bow down again.
Everyone stood frozen, Zion, Maxwell, Levi, the royal advisor, and even the Tigren warriors. No one expected Addison’s transformation, let alone the sheer force of it. Her wolf was magnificent, feral, and completely unafraid.
