The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 408

Once Draven disappeared from the mountain, Aureus flew towards palace with Erlos. After facing Draven's strong divine power which destroyed the peak of that huge mountain and using his own powers to protect Erlos and himself from it's effect by creating a shield of his divine power, Aureus was slower than usual to fly from that far away mountain and to arrive the palace.

Though Draven's powers were not meant to attack them and he just had to protect them from it's destructive effects, Aureus could not help but wonder what would happen if the King of Agartha ever used that power to fight with someone. The result would sure be the defeat or death of his opponent.

When they reached the palace, all they could see from the sky was whatever was going in the garden part of the palace.

They saw everyone was using their powers to break that dome shaped barrier. He could not believe his eyes for what he was seeing.

"What happened here?" Erlos mumbled as he had never seen this palace in it's almost destroyed form.

Aureus' gaze started to look through that barrier

Ember… his uncle...

They landed where Draven and others were. Letting go of Erlos, Aureus carefully looked inside that barrier closely only to get the shock of his life. His uncle was injured, there was a dagger pierced in his heart and looked like he was on the brink of death.

"W-What happened?" he asked, his eyes utterly shocked and started to get moist. "Morph?"

Draven looked at the shocked young eagle but he had nothing to say and his first concern was his friend.

Erlos put his hand on his shoulder to console him first though he was equally shocked. "First, let's help them break this barrier."

Erlos could be calm as he had long been trained by Draven himself through his unexpected ways of teaching which taught him to keep his calm even in the worst situation as panicking would not give any result.

Aureus got back to his senses and started to use his divine power to help others break that barrier along with Erlos. He was desperate to break it and go to his uncle.

Erlos even used his magical arrows that contained strongest powers from the young High Elf which could destroy anything in its way, but in front of that barrier everything failed.

When everyone had exhausted their powers and could not break the barrier, Aureus heard others asking the King to use his powers. The King, the almighty Black Dragon who could destroy that huge mountain peak, who he had seen using the strongest divine power he had ever witnessed, Aureus was sure nothing could be impossible for this powerful person.

Just as the hope flickered in his mind, Aureus got to hear something shocking from the King.

"My magic dissipates before it can even touch the barrier."

Aureus felt terrible and felt like time was slipping through his hands and again he was going to lose his only family. He had so many questions about how all this had happened but first he wanted to reach his uncle and save him.

When she realized the King of Agartha was trying to destroy the barrier as well, a flame of hope flickered inside her, but this small flame was quickly extinguished by his helplessness. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}
