SPELLBOUND

Chapter 668: Signal

At long last, it was time for another battle to commence. And most probably, this would be the final battle too. Everyone was looking forward for it to begin, with the hopes that it would end well on their part.         

    

After receiving the information from Vera several hours ago, they did not rush to cross the second wall. They had made sure to develop a few extra plans and strategies to have as their backups, just in case when the main strategy fails. They also took that opportunity to continue recuperating to regain their strength.     

However, they knew they could not spend too much time planning and recuperating. They must end this battle as soon as possible. The sooner they move, the greater the advantage they would gain over their enemies.     

Now the entire army was armed and ready to set forth. The soldiers were all prepared and were in their battle formation.     

They were going to the enter the second wall at once and opt for an all-out attack. This time, this will be the battle for the dragons. They were the ones who would be dealing out the main bulk of the attacks on their enemies. Of course, they would also end up receiving the majority of the enemies' attacks.     

Each dragon now had more than two riders on their backs. The main rider will be focused on controlling and commanding the dragon while the others will be focused on protecting the dragons with their magical shields.     

Queen Beatrice joined Vera on Azure's back as Evie had spread out the vampires. Since the vampires had the strongest vision, they were pretty useful to be the lookouts as they flew with the dragons.     

The special team King Belial sent out as reinforcement were also spread out evenly. They were a team of dark faes with the strongest protective shield magic – and this was the ability they needed the most at this moment.     

Looking around, Evie saw that each dragon now had at least five riders each, except for Onyx. Zolan and Kei, the light fae that had been with her for a while now remained as her companion. She did not need any more help since she believed that her protective shield alone was strong enough to protect Onyx. The other dragons however, needed the other stronger dark faes more. Also, she could not take the risk of having any of her dragons injured, or worse, perish in this battle. There were already so few of them left. Thus, she did not want to lose even a single one of them.     

Taking a deep breath, Evie kept her eyes focused on the inky black second wall. Her amber eyes were glowing. She could feel that this was already the final stage. Once they get through this, they would go all out and annihilate all the remaining monsters inside and then they definitely would find and finally save Gideon.     

That was the plan. They must win this war and save Gideon at all costs.     

Slowly, Evie lifted her hand and kept it pointing up for a long while. Not moving, not speaking. Heavy silence reigned for a few breaths as everyone waited for her signal. Then Evie's light appeared like the explosion of many tiny suns.      

That signal broke the stalemate. Battle cries roared again as their armies surged forth, entering the second and darker wall.     

They advanced forward as fast as they could and before long, the flying monsters came at them. It was as what Azrael had reported from his earlier survey into enemy lines. And the intense war commenced. It was more intense than they ever expected. Despite their preparations, they still felt caught off guard.     

The flying monsters were numerous. And because they were smaller, they were more agile and faster to dodge the dragon's attacks. Nevertheless, the dragons were still able to kill off many of them already.     

The dark fae soldiers who did not have dragons, utilized their wings. They were in a more dangerous situation though, as they could easily get swarmed by those monsters. Fighting in the air was definitely harder than the battle on the ground for the soldiers. But they did not have a choice and could only do their best to fight on and survive.     

For what seemed like a very long time, the battle did not cease nor slowed. The intensity since the first collision did not even reduce as the monsters came at them like a swarm of deadly bats.     

Everyone had been forced to their limits right at the get go because they all knew that the very moment they dropped their guard down and tried to take a breather even for a moment, they could very well lose their lives. Their survival instincts had every single one of them fighting like they were possessed. It was all they could do.     

And before long, there were both their comrades and enemies piling up on the ground below. Dead bodies were falling one after another. Ice and fire lighted up the thick darkness like thunderstorms scattered in the dark.     

"Shit!!!" Reed cursed. The dragon he was on was falling. They had been surrounded by the flying monsters and their shields got pierced through. They had tried to fight back but their dragon got unexpectedly attacked from below where the shields were weaker. It was too late to save the ice-dragon.     

They could only leave the dragon to save themselves. But Reed could not jump off as he did not have wings. The dark faes were already busy fighting for their own lives so he could not count on anyone to bring him along. His leg was also badly injured. He got the injury a while ago when he saved one of the dark faes with him from getting killed. He will probably break his leg bone if he jumped, but he did not have a choice. It would be way too late if he wanted to wait for it to heal.
