Witch's Daughter And The Devil's Son-Chapter 661 Sierra’s Efforts

'This banished woman is distracting us! Our original position must have been correct. She must have led us farther from her daughter!' Petra concluded.

She felt angry at herself for letting herself be fooled. Though she had indeed considered this possibility, she believed that Sierra would opt to stay by her daughter's side, doing her best to protect her. But her choice was wrong.

'Who gave her courage to leave her daughter? Who is protecting her daughter then? Evanthe? No, she alone cannot suppress those two powers. A mere witch, even if she is the most powerful one, cannot deal with a low-ranking angel, much less the divinity of two deities.'

"Can't find her still?" Sierra asked in a mocking voice.

While Evanthe, Seren and Drayce stayed in the underground ice cave, waiting for the moment of Seren's birthday to arrive, Sierra was outside to divert the attention of those angels coming after her daughter.

Evanthe and Sierra knew that they could not deal with the superior strength of divine beings, thus, they made several plans in order to guarantee Seren's safety.

Though they made sure the ice cave would isolate Seren from the rest of the world, they feared that the deities would have the means to find her in the mortal world, that was why Sierra volunteered to act as bait if ever they truly appeared.

And indeed, angels were able to infiltrate the mortal world without alarming the gods and goddesses of the pantheon.

Not only were they able to descend secretly, they were also able to determine the general area where Seren was located. They were able to roam unhindered, as if the eyes of the gods above had been temporarily blinded.

Being her birth mother, Sierra had the same elemental attribute as her daughter, though hers did not have divinity in them. Earlier, she was able to partially duplicate the aura of Seren's essence.

It was sufficient to fool others who didn't know Seren and make them follow her, duping them into thinking they were tracking Seren. However, it would only work as diversion.

Sierra succeeded, and she did not fear being discovered now.

Seren had already come of age.

Dawn was nearing, and by now, her daughter's powers would have finished maturing. The most dangerous moment of both the Earth and Fire magic inside her erupting together had passed so Sierra had nothing to worry about.

She firmly trusted that Drayce and Evanthe would have successfully suppressed those powers together. The backgrounds of both mother and son were not simple. Seren would be safe with them around.

"If you don't want to tell where that child is, then do not blame me for what I would do to you next. As you are a being neither from the heavenly realm nor the mortal world, our kind have no reservations about harming you."

"Suit yourself, angel. I fear none of the gods you serve--why do you think the threats of their servants would?" Sierra taunted with an arrogance that made it seem she truly did not fear death.

Furious, Petra raised her hand to play her harp once more when--

"Petra! It must be that child!" one of the angels exclaimed.

Several leagues away, they felt an outburst of divine power.

Fire!

It was hellfire!

Being from heavenly realm, they were familiar with this energy.

Sierra was shocked as well.

'No! What happened? It should not have been like this. We have prepared everything to control Seren's power. We have considered all angles. An unexpected factor must have made things go wrong.'

'Is Seren safe? Is Evanthe safe?'

Petra let go of Sierra. "In the end, you could not hide her. Do you think the means of lowly creatures like you could really hide a power that does not belong to this world? Repent on your sins, witch, and see how I drag your daughter back to where she belongs."

"No!" Sierra panicked.

Petra smirked as she signaled the angels to leave, and the next moment, all of them disappeared from the barren hill. However, she was still unable to move. Petra did not release the divine power restricting her movement.

Sierra felt helpless as she knew none of those in the ice cave could stand against the divine beings in a head-on confrontation. Neither Yorian's, Drayce's nor Evanthe's powers were their match.

She was once a goddess and she knew exactly the difference of the strength between the supernatural beings of the mortal world and the divine beings of the heavenly realm.

Yorian was but an elf, although he was an experienced warrior who was sharp enough to find opportunities to defeat an enemy in the battlefield. However, his strength could only be considered strong among supernatural beings. He could at most delay time like her, and would not be able to hurt an angel.

Evanthe was once a powerful goddess, but she had been banished from the heavens. Not only did she lose her divine powers, she also had no memory of her past life. With her trying to suppress that hellfire, she probably would be helpless against the incoming enemies.

Drayce might be a mighty Dragon, a divine beast who could go against an angel, but he was still too young. Maybe he could stop one or two, but he could not deal with a group of angels.

Not to mention they had to personally deal with Petra, the most favored servant of Isis and a high-ranking angel...

Sierra crushed one of the orbs in her pockets, sacrificing one of the few treasured items she had kept from her old life in order to disperse the divine energy Petra used to subdue her. She had only two of these items, and now, only one remained.

Once again, Sierra felt helpless as she didn't know how she could stop them. When she was able to regain the use of her powers, she disappeared from the barren hill...

To go back to her daughter...

To save her.
