Tempting Fate-Chapter 163

163 Chapter 163: The New Portal

Reed didn’t know how long he had been staring out the window. From where he was standing, he could see smoke coming from the mountains. It looked like battles were going on there. Reed turned a little when he heard a knock.

He shouted, “Come in!”

After a few seconds, he heard the door open. “Here, Reed, is some food for you,” Eldron told the servant to put the tray on the already-there table.

After putting the food on the table, Eldron told the servant to leave the room, which he did right away. Eldron went over to talk to Reed as the servant closed the door.

“Did you already eat?” Eldron said.

Reed went up to Eldron. “Have you heard anything about the elder yet?” Reed asked.

In just a few hours, it will have been 24 hours since he did what he did to the elder mage and waited to see what happened.

“I think what you asked me to do will be done later or tomorrow. Eat first.” Eldron said.

Reed took a quick look at the food on the table, took a deep breath, and walked right over to it. He sat down at the table and began to eat. Eldron stood at the window and looked at the smoke coming from the mountains.

.....

“What’s going on on the other side of the hill?” Eldron asked.

“We’ll know soon enough,” Reed said.

“Why? Have you sent someone there?”

“I told the soldier to find out what is happening,” Reed said.

Eldron was surprised when the dragon jumped out of nowhere and blew fire at him. The window was closed, which was a good thing.

He laughed and said, “Useless dragon!”

Reed smirked. When the soldier knocked on the window, Eldron was again startled. It let the air out.

“What kind of soldiers are these? I’m surprised. Do they want to kill me?” Eldron was upset.

“Father, just open the window and hear what the soldier has to say,” Reed ordered.

Eldron then went after them and opened the window. The dragon makes a lot of noise with its roar and wing flaps. A soldier was riding behind it.

“Tell me, soldier, what did you find out?” Eldron asked.

“In that part of the mountains, my king, a battle is going on.”

“Why do demons fight?” Eldron asked.

“Vampires and cubus, my king.”

He looked at Reed near the window. “Two clans with no rules fighting?”

“What do they want to fight for?” Eldron asked.

“The demon I talked to said a portal opened in that part of the mountains, and some vampires were already there. When the cubus heard about it, they, too, ran to get away.”

Reed stopped. He couldn’t leave the realm yet because he had to see how what he asked the elder mage to do turned out.

“Devin is there, and I know he won’t disappoint my queen and prince.”

“Tell the soldiers to get ready because we’re going to the mountains now.”

“Yes, my king!”

The soldier on the dragon left quickly to tell the other soldiers what the king had said.

When Devin saw someone trying to get into Reed’s yard, he frowned. That person is not only a thief but also a vampire. Becky was outside, in the yard. He went up to him right away while he was watching the vampire.

“What’s going on?” Devin asked.

Becky looked at Devin and said, “My prince. They showed up in front of the house out of the blue.”

“Are they going after people?”

“Not yet. Demons seem to want only one thing...” Becky said. “The prince or the queen.”

Devin’s eyebrow went up. “How rude of them to hurry here. From what portal did they come in?” Devin looked around. “You’re in charge. I’ll see how far they have come. I will also find out about Emy’s parents.”

“Yes, my prince,” she said.

Before leaving, Devin looked at Becky. “Where is the shaman, by the way?”

“With the queen inside.”

Devin gave the nod and started to leave the yard. The vampires who were there said hello to him. He couldn’t use his power in Reed’s yard, so he had to go outside to do so.

Devin let out a puff of black smoke as soon as he stepped out of the yard. He thought it would attack the vampires who were running toward him.

“Sh*t, you fool, don’t you know who you’re fighting?” Devin asked.

When a vampire came up to him, he pushed him away with force. Then he surrounded him with black smoke, and after a while, it was like the smoke had just vanished. But there are many more, and they are not after people. Devin went to where Reed lived.

‘Couldn’t they be going after Alex? Or maybe Emy.’

A vampire ran up to him and grabbed his neck right away.

“You demons are annoying, and then you mess with me,” Devin said, upset.

He let out a big cloud of black smoke and told it to kill all the vampires in the area. When the black smoke spread through the air, it looked like a stack of papers had caught fire.

Devin looked at the vampire he was holding by the neck, teleported quickly, and the vampire’s back hit a wall instantly. Even though Devin still had his neck, his body almost hit the wall.

“Tell me what is happening,” Devin asked.

Instead of answering, the vampire hissed at him. He squeezed the vampire’s neck so hard that it was almost broken.

“Answer my question...” The color of Devin’s eyes changed.

“P-portal, argk...”

“Which door?”

“New way in...” 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

Devin froze. “New way in?”

He looked at the vampire he was holding. Suddenly, it caught fire and burned to ashes. He quickly used teleportation to get to the top of a cell tower near where they lived. His blazer and even his hair are being blown around by the strong wind. As Devin looked around, the color of his eyes changed.

He has to find the portal to stop the demons from coming into the world of humans.

“What is Reed doing, haist? What’s going on? Does he know?”

—

Reed was on the dragon’s back as it flew toward the mountains, where the two clans were fighting over a portal that was said to be near the mountains. When he got there, he saw fires, and it looked like the battle had already started based on what he could see from the palace.

Reed’s eyebrows went up. “What should we do here?” Eldron asked. “Are you going to give them a punishment?”

Reed looked at his father, who was riding another dragon simultaneously. They were carrying three dragons while the rest of his men were walking below toward that place.

He took a look down. “What else can be done with those kinds of people?”

“Set them all on fire, Pyro!” Reed told his dragon what to do, and it did what he said right away. The fire came out of the dragon’s mouth and burned everything.
