The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter-Chapter 962: THE FINAL BATTLE (28)

"We are trapped," Finn said in grim tone.

Their scout just returned and said that there was poisonous miasma ahead of them and they needed to go back, but behind them was a horde of monsters.

They had been in this Cassius mountain for three days and it was hard to find something to eat, especially when they had to feed around five hundred people. They were the pack member of Golden Light pack and all of them were children and elderly people. Also, with additional thirty warriors that left behind to guard the pack.

Because of that reason too, they couldn’t move as fast as they wanted.

With that statement, panic waved among the people. The elderly people sat down tiredly and the children were crying because they were hungry, while the rest of them were trying to figure a way out of this mess, but they couldn’t think of anything.

They couldn’t fight, they couldn’t move ahead, they couldn’t go back and if they stayed here for long, it was only a matter of time before the red smoke caught up to them and they were going to die because of the poison.

Abby hugged her baby tightly. Once again, she felt very helpless. She didn’t have enough strength to protect them against the poisonous miasma and she could feel it the way these people were disappointed in her and how they looked down on her.

Even when she was still holding her title as the Serafim, these people knew not to ask her for help, because they subconsciously realized she was not much of a help.

It triggered her again.

If Iris was here, she would be able to create a strong barrier and she felt these people wished it was the luna, who was here instead of her.

Abby tried to calm down her baby, she couldn’t produce enough milk for her, because she was hungry, but she couldn’t bring herself to ask for additional food when all of them were on the verge of starving.

Usually, Aliana would give half of her portion to her, but it was not enough and she barely produced milk for Bielle.

Abby was sorry for her baby because she couldn’t do anything right.

"Can you create a barrier for us to go through the miasma?" Aliana asked Abby silently, even though she knew the answer, but there was no other way for them.

"No," Abby replied through her gritted teeth. She used to force herself, until she crossed her limit, but this time, she knew she wouldn’t be able to do it, no matter how hard she tried.

"The monsters then..." Aliana muttered to herself. Their only chance to survive was to fight the monsters.

But, it would be a slaughter on their part if they chose this option. The elderly people and the children wouldn’t be able to fight and thirty warriors with them wouldn’t be able to protect the pack member and fought the monsters at the same time. It was a dead end.

And as if the situation couldn’t get any worse, their scout howled from the distance, indicating they were in danger and when they breathed the air, they immediately knew it was the monsters that finally caught up with them.

All the elderly and the children were crying and in panic, they immediately stood up and shifted into their beasts, but because they were not a fighter, they ran toward the poisonous miasma instead in order to get away from the monsters.

The warriors told them to not go toward that direction, but they didn’t listen. Everything was very chaotic, especially when they heard the monsters’ footstep and their growls that indicating they were coming closer to you.

"We need to leave too!" Aliana said, she grabbed Abby’s elbow and forced her to stand up. "Can you create a barrier for you and your baby?"

If it was too much for her to create the barrier for the whole people, at the very least, she could do it for herself and the baby.

"I- I will try. I will try." Abby was really scared, she was the same like the remaining ten magic users, without their power, they were only a mere human.

"Go! Go through the poisonous miasma and went to the south! That’s the best option that I can think of."

They were heading toward the south, but couldn’t get through the poisonous miasma and they also didn’t know how far wide this red smoke was.

This was indeed not the safest option, but it was better than not having an option at all.

"Go! Go now!" Aliana then shifted into her beast and joined the fight with the other warriors, giving them time to escape, despite knowing it was also a suicide to be in the miasma for long.

It was not an easy battle, even though they outnumbered the monsters, but most of the monsters needed three or four beasts to take it down.

It was already great that they could hold them for this long, but sure enough, they wouldn’t last longer than this because the poisonous miasma had spread around this area as well.

Aliana and the other four warriors, who had been infected before were the first, who went down. They were having a hard time to breath and was no longer able to sustain their beast, as they shifted back into their human form.

It was horrifying, as they could only see the red smoke hanging in the air, while the battle had not yet ceased down. The monsters kept coming to attack them incessantly.

Joel shifted back into his human form too and helped Aliana to stand up. "Come on, Aliana, we need to move. We need to runaway!" They wouldn’t be able to fight the monsters, they needed to escape now.

"Go, Joel. I can’t..." Aliana felt very numb, her head was spinning and if there was only one thing that she regretted was; she couldn’t see Ethan for the last time and their fight.

What a waste of time to fight over something like that...

"No! Get up!" Joel was insisted. He tried to carry her, but because of that, he couldn’t move fast enough. It would be a matter of time for the monsters to catch up to them.

When the only thing they could hear was the roaring and growling from the monsters and the beasts, all of sudden they saw three people walked to them.

At first, it was not really clear because of the red smoke, but upon closer look, they could see who they were.

Elder Xarex, Elder Dandolf and Elder Rose, they three elders fought the monsters and created the barriers around the beasts to prevent them from breathing more poisonous miasma.

Joel didn’t think twice before he carried Aliana to enter their barrier and Finn jumped in as well.

"Where is the Serafim?!" Elder Xarex asked Joel, by this time Aliana was too weak to speak.

"Where is Abby?" Elder Rose asked impatiently.

The three elders were not strong enough to fight all the monsters, but they could create a protection from the miasma, thus they needed to leave right away.
