Chapter 255: _Flames Fizzled Out
"Caroline, step back!" Odessa yelled out, placing her right hand in front of her maid and pushing her backwards.
The next thing that happened was Althea spreading out her arms and placing her palms in front of her face.
Her palms glowed with a blue light, manifesting a powerful force field that wrapped around us like a dome.
The guard, who was still blazing with dark purple flames, crashed into the forcefield, sending a powerful shockwave that caused me to grab Odessa’s hand subconsciously.
The guard bounced off the forcefield and plopped to the ground with a groan, the dark purple flames which lit up his body dying down as he struggled to breathe.
I blinked with confusion.
That’s it?
The flames, the power, the magic... The domineering voice from him which shook the sky with his declaration about the lord of the North.
All of it now felt like nothing as the guard heaved pitifully, raising his right hand toward us. His fingers brushed against the forcefield, ashes from his skin tainting its surface.
"He’s dying," Althea mumbled as she caused the forcefield to disappear with a simple wave of her palm.
My nostrils flared as the smell of charred skin and smoke wafted.
Heck no!
