Chapter 202: Fairy bane[Bonus - ]
Kyrell felt his entire body going numb as he continued to inhale the white smoke that appeared out of nowhere. His innate powers reacted before he could and started to push out the toxic smoke from his system.
Though he was paralyzed. It was only for a few moments before he regained his composure. His raging red eyes fell on the strays stepping forward to attack the paralyzed city guards. As Lucas and Noah were leading them, the duo stood right in the front. They had no chance of defending themselves.
But before the strays could attack them, Kyrell created a barrier separating the two opposing sides. And as those stray beasts realized something going wrong, they glanced around until their eyes fell on him.
Kyrell clenched his fists and his crimson eyes simmered in raw anger. He wanted to tear those stray beasts into pieces. And he was going to do just that until he heard feeble whimpers coming from a certain direction that he had been keeping his eyes on for a long time. For a second, he almost lost his concentration on keeping the barrier intact when he saw his beloved.
’’Lyra?’’ Unlike everyone inside the banquet, Lyra was kneeling on the ground while clutching her throat. She seemed troubled as she couldn’t breathe properly. Her face had turned pale without any color and her eyes were misty with unshed tears.
His feet moved in her direction and before he could even think, Kyrell was already holding Lyra in his arms, ’’What’s wrong.....?’’ he barely managed to form words as he tried to control his anxiousness. His hands were shivering in fear. No matter how much he pleaded, no answer came out of her mouth because it was clear that she was suffering and couldn’t respond to him.
’’Please.....Lyra’’ Kyrell urgently called her while rubbing her back in hopes of easing her discomfort but nothing seemed to work. He grew more and more desperate as time passed and that in turn made his barrier weak each minute. He didn’t even notice until the barrier disappeared and the stray beasts started to step past it toward the still-paralyzed city guards.
But before they could attack, a black-colored smoke speedily spread all around dissolving the previous white smoke. Kyrell didn’t have time to react before a force pushed him away from Lyra.
Whereas, Lyra had a hard time processing everything because it was already hard for her. Due to prolonged difficulty in breathing, she felt like she was losing consciousness. Nothing seemed to register in her mind until she felt a pair of warm hands encircling her waist.
