Chapter 627: Report

The entire Under Land were stunned for that few moments as Evie's explosion of power lit up this land beneath the surface. That was a phenomenon they had never seen nor could ever imagine in their entire lives. No almost everyone knew that that was no mere phenomenon. Someone had created that extremely bright light someone really powerful and filled with light energy. And all the Underlanders could already tell who the source of that light was.

It must be no other than the Light Fae Queen they had heard so much about since the past few days. Many of the dark faes at first sneered and doubted when they heard the news that that their King and The Ten n.o.ble Lords had accepted the Light Queen's proposal in exchange of her dragons. However, with this supreme and blatant show of raw power that could be felt almost throughout the whole Under Lands, the naysayers were now rendered speechless.

They were dumbstruck at this display of unrestrained power. Even though they had no idea what was happening, for some strange reason, they could tell that whatever the reason was behind the release of this bright light was something none of them could even imagine. This amount of power was just no joke. There was just no question about that that, not only because of what they were seeing, but because of what they were feeling at this moment too. It was unbelievable how they actually felt gooseb.u.mps just looking at it from afar. Whoever this queen who wields such amount of magic was, one thing is for sure she is the complete opposite of a joke.

She was someone to be feared and reverenced. Now they finally understood why the Light Queen had actually made their King and even all the n.o.ble Lords accept her and her offers. She is proving that she was better off as an ally than an enemy to them. Some of the n.o.ble Lords were thanking their lucky starts in their hearts that they did not stand up and openly oppose the Light Queen's proposal that day when she had brought it up. She was not a person one wants as their opponent.

"Belial" Queen Beatrice's grip on her husband's arm tightened. She could feel her heart aching at the sight of that light. Oh, her poor dear daughter-in-law.

It was beautiful, spectacular, and looked exactly like the golden rising sun she remembered seeing back then when she was still living on the surface. But it was not the kind of beauty that makes one's heart swell with bliss and ecstasy. Instead, it was the kind that makes people's hearts tremble for fear of the unknown. There was just that undetermined discomfort and restlessness that was triggered once anyone looked to that rising light.

"Please tell me what is going on," Her voice coming out as a pained whisper, almost as though she was begging her husband.

The king had already started feeling restless since quite a while ago. Even before that bright light appeared, he was already feeling the fluctuations of the energies in the air. Due to that, he had already excused himself and started concentrating towards the outside, trying to find the source of that disturbance that he had felt.

When the spectacular yet bone chilling light slowly died down, the King finally opened his eyes. And Beatrice knew right then that he must have had seen something. Something completely unprecedented. An unacceptable bad news. And Queen Beatrice's heart felt as though it had frozen over and cracked.

"There's no way that Evie would use such an immense amount of power if she's fighting the ice dragons or just any enemy." She continued, knowing full well that Evie would never do something like this against anyone in the Under Lands, except if one of her sons ended up losing themselves to their darkness.

Belial slowly met her gaze and then he slowly pulled her into his embrace, trying to offer whatever comfort he could to his wife at this moment. That hug alone made Beatrice's heart sank. Her greatest fears right now might be coming true that it was something related to her son had come true.

"She's trapped Gavrael, my queen." He replied in a low and woeful voice as he tightened his grip around her, kissing her forehead and tried to soothe her trembling frame. He did not dare let go of his wife as he was afraid that she would be too overwhelmed and ended up collapsing to the ground from the news.

"Oh, Gavvy" she crumpled against the King's chest and wept bitterly.

"My King!" General Alvion announced his arrival loudly outside the king's tent. By his tone of voice alone, the two already knew that more trouble had come their way.

Beatrice quickly wiped her tears away and composed herself before nodding at her husband. Once Belial confirmed that Beatrice was in control of her emotions, the two of them stepped out of the king's tent.

"Yes, Alvion. Go ahead and report." The King gestured him to skip the formalities and immediately state his report.

"The monsters have stopped coming out from that dark well, Your Majesty. I believe it was momentarily closed again." He reported and the couple heaved a breath of relief. At least this was a brief respite and some good news they were getting. A few moments before that bright light had appeared, the abyss seemed to have awakened and monsters had poured out from it like beasts being set free from their cages after an eternity of being imprisoned.

War against the monsters had broken out in an instant. The soldiers effectively stopped the monsters, killing them before they could reach the outer circ.u.mference of the camp, as they exercised their previously planned strategies. However, if more than what they had antic.i.p.ated had come at them endlessly, they all knew their defense will slowly crumble and the monsters will be able to break through.

"However, we have a problem. There's a second pulsation and there's more monsters that had already come out just within that short period of time right before the bright light appeared." Lord Alvion continued his report.
