Chapter 3773: The Gate Opens (Part 2)

Once again, the room erupted into chaos. The Upyrs closest to the Skoll lunged at him while those too far away threw their weapons all around him.

Protector was about to unleash the spells contained in his rings when the Upyrs activated Frost Soul again, freezing the magic-holding rings he wore. With no other choice left, he pushed his tired muscles to the extreme, dodging most blows and returning twice as much.

Yet in the frenzy of claws, flying weapons, and tendrils, he took a few hits before he could move to a safe position.

’One more blow.’ Protector tasted the blood in his mouth. ’I can take one more blow like this at most. Anything stronger and I’m dead.’

Verhen Mansion, at the same time.

Filia, Frey, Fenrir, and Solkar had no control over the Life Eater bloodline ability, but they had a clear understanding of the amount of energy their young bodies stored.

With each blow their father took, the feeling of exhilaration Life Eater gave them faded, and the young Skolls’ strength returned to normal. With each blow their father took, they knew the battle wasn’t over and that it wasn’t going well.

"Eat, Fenrir, eat!" Lilia urged her baby sister. "Eat even if you’re not hungry. Do it for Dad."

"What’s the point, big sis." Leran said without interrupting his forced meal. "We can’t send anything to Dad. We’ve trained every day, but we have yet to activate Life Eater once."

"It’s better than nothing." Lilia sighed. "If you have any idea, I’m open to suggestions."

Selia wanted to reassure her children, but she could tell from their reaction that they knew better. She looked at Kamila, who stared at the amulet, checking that all the contact runes were still in place before giving Selia a thumbs up. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Dya! Dya! Valeron and Elysia cried.

Leran looked at the baby boy, and his eyes widened in realization.

"I have one! I have an idea!" He dropped his mutton chop and ran to Ryla. "Please, Auntie, give us your golden lightning. Give us as much as you can!"

"You are too young for that and have Awakened recently." The Fomor shook her head. "It would hurt you."

"Then just give us as much as we can take and add more once we consume it." Leran replied.

"And how do we consume it?" Lilia looked at her brother, hoping for a good answer.

"You’re right, sis, we can’t activate Life Eater, but Dad can." Leran said. "Maybe, while the golden lightning boosts us, we can perceive when Dad opens the connection with us and use it to give him what we have accumulated!"

"It might work." Lilia nodded. "It must work."

Lark Mansion, in front of the pantry, at the same time.

The earlier brief respite from the Frost Soul allowed the arrays to repair themselves and inflict upon the Upyrs whatever potency they had left. It was the reason they stopped releasing their bloodline ability only for a split second at a time. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Protector was back in front of the pantry, but Kazam had already made short work of the little space that Jadon had managed to reclaim.

’These people can’t be reasoned with, only fought.’ Protector tried to use Invigoration from the safety of the arrays and stopped the moment he felt a cold pain spreading through his body. ’There’s no point saving my strength. The next hit will also be the last.

’I’ll consume everything I’ve left of Life Eater and hope it buys me enough time.’

’Who..., no, what is that thing?’ Kazam asked as the flaming red fur of the Skoll bristled and the blue flames shrouding his neck and tail turned violet.
