Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 220

Chapter 220: THE CRITICAL SITUATION (12)
“This is not a good idea, Zaya.” Rowan didn’t let go of her wrist, as he tried to stop her from approaching the shield where the twelve black magic users had created.

The heat from the shield burned them. Rowan had already taken off his armor, because it was made of steel and he felt like he was being roasted, even the hilt of his sword was too hot for him to touch.

“Indeed.” Zaya nodded. She raised her hand and looked at Rowan’s hand that held her, she chuckled at him. “Maybe if we can survive this, you can ask my hand to my brother.”

“I have. He rejected and he said you like woman.”

Zaya rolled her eyes and then tiptoed to peck his lips. “Now, go.”

“A peck couldn’t make me leave you, princess.”

However, Zaya didn’t have time for that, she then created a shield around her, which forced Rowan to back off. He cursed under his breath and tried to break the shield, but he couldn’t. Zaya’s shield was too solid.

“Damn it, Zaya!”

Zaya tilted her head to see his attempt to break her shield, she smiled at him, which was not amusing for Rowan at all.

The hilt of his sword was so hot, he could feel the heat burned his palms, but he refused to let go and keep swinging it against the shield, so hard. Still, the shield didn’t budge.

“You wanted to see my power, right?” Zaya said lightly. “Now, watch this.”

Zaya looked like her happy go lucky self and when she turned around, her body was glowing. It was not a divine power that she had, but her power was actually unique enough for the Holy Kingdom people to want her to stay with them and nurtured her.

At that time, she despised them because she had to work so hard on her power, but right now, she was grateful because she had this power, though she was still holding a grudge toward those elders.

Zaya closed her eyes and there were flames around her feet that looked like tendrils, at first it was small, but then it grew like vines and then it expanded and looked like a huge wave of flames, which forced Rowan to step back.

And now, with the sky was on fire, the wave of flames from Zaya and the strong heat from the shield that was created by those black magic users, Rowan felt like all he could see was only fire.

As if the world would be burned down into ashes.

“We need to get out of here, my king!” Addie said quickly. He had never seen something like this before. he had gone through countless battle, but the battle against the magic users was completely in different level. “We shouldn’t have involved ourselves in their matter…” he muttered under his breathe.

It would be an honor to die in a battlefield, but he didn’t want to be roasted to die.

“We need to go!” Addie pulled Rowan’s hand, but the king didn’t budge. He kept his eyes fixed on the auburn hair woman, who was standing in the middle of the flames that she created and watched how strong her power was.

Zaya told him to watch and that was what he would do.

The flames engulfed the shield that was created by the black magic users, thus you could see how large their shield was, but at the same time, you also could see how strong Zaya’s magic power was.

This was the reason those elders from the Holy Kingdom didn’t want to let her go, because they saw a lot of potential in her.

She could be a role that would be able to lead the Holy Kingdom, knowing who was her mother, it was also an outstanding point for Zaya to have an influence in the Holy Kingdom.

However, she left the place the first chance she got, but even so, she was powerful enough right now.

Fire reflected in her blue eyes, as she figured out how to absorb Zenith’s black magic, as they extracted it out of his body. She needed to do it quickly before Jared could claim it.

Yet, Zaya didn’t have any idea of how to do it. She was at lost. That was the time when she felt someone hugged her from behind.

Guiding her of how to circulate her energy and the grasp the power from the black magic. The heat from the flames around her suddenly grew cold, she felt like the fire that she created turned into ice. She shuddered.

Out of instinct, she fought back this uncomfortable feeling, because this power was so foreign in her body, she didn’t like the ominous feeling that surrounded her and when she opened her eyes, she realized what the cause of this coldness.

The black wisp that came from Zenith lingered around the fire that she created, essentially extinguished it.

From the look of it, the black wisp swallowed the fire from Zaya and eventually, it would swallow her as well. Put her in the darkness.

At this point, all of her instinct told her to fight back, though there was this soft, familiar voice that whispered to her to let it go, to give it in to the darkness.

It was so hard to fight your own instinct, but when Zaya closed her eyes again, she let it the black wisp to consume her.

“Mother…” she said softly and then stopped trying to fight back.

The last thing she saw Jared rushed toward her, as if he was going to do something, his face hardened with rage and so the other eleven black magic users, but their figures immediately blocked by the darkness that engulfed her.

Being in the darkness it felt like you were being plunged into a deep, dark, cold river during the winter night.

It was extremely cold and suffocating, as if thousand needles made holes on your skin.
