The Black Mist Enchantress - Chapter 140

” Yes. This time you got it correct. I cannot sin by killing my woman’s birth father but I shall cut off his limbs and let him live in the forest for the rest of his life. Let the animals punish you for the bad deeds you did but I won’t let them kill you fast.”

The viciousness in Jordan’s eyes sparkled and without letting the bleeding Denzell say another word, Jordan mercilessly cut off his pair of hands too.

Watching the bloody scene, all the Esbertrazian soldiers only had one thought in their mind, “Serves you right.”

” You wretched bastard!! You will die a horrendous death. I am glad that my worthless daughter took the blow for you, her death is the punishment for you. ”

The anger arising inside Jordan reached a level which was out of his control, soon before Denzell could curse with another word, his tongue had been sliced off.

“Go die.”

The Esbertrazian elite soldiers took care of the rest of the once daring chief commander but greed and pride led to his doom. All the way while he was dragged to the dense forest, he remembered his glorious days but what was it worth for?

The chapter of Denzell Dagardian came to an end just like that but the rage inside Jordan did not reduce a bit. For the next few days, he along with Houlson and Leon wiped the entire Agnartic and Dagardian armies. Even the elders were not spared, the innocent people were left out from the bloodshed  and the territory was soon named as the area under the Esbertrazian clan.

The trio accomplished marvellous victory but none was happy with the outcome. Everyone knew that the strike which Janet had blocked could make her dead. Even if the heavens show mercy, she could only be considered half alive. Houlson knew Jordan better as a person who lost his whole family and then found his love but now fate played with him again.

While racing on their horses back to the Esbertrazian clan, Houlson looked at the grim expression on his friend’s face. No words could make him calm, the pain in his heart during the last few days completely destroyed two ancient clans. Although Jordan could avenge his parents, he lost his one and only love. They never knew that by the time they reached the clan, they were going to hear earth shattering news.

Few days back…

After Jordan had sent off Alex along with the injured Janet, Alex didn’t even stop for a moment, he constantly checked Janet’s pulse while the horse was galloping as fast as it could. For two straight days, they had a restless journey and finally they were approaching the Esbertrazian territory.

“Stay in there, you have to be alive for Jordan. Once he had lost everything and now you are the only one who keeps him alive. Please do not give up on his love.”

It was not sure whether Janet could hear Alex speaking but her lips twitched and eyelids fluttered at that time.Although it was a minute response, Alex felt it was far better than having no response and he continued to stabilise her emotions by the power of words.

Suddenly, the horse reared and froze in his motion. Alex violently tugged the horse to move forward but unfortunately the horse was behaving spooky. The next second Alex saw four people were standing on their route, mainly three old men and a female whose face was covered with a veil.

Although the beauty in front of him was a seductress, with ample curves and soft skin, Alex didn’t even rest his eyes on her for another second. He shouted at the way blockers,

” Hey, please move aside. I am in an emergency situation.”

The group acted as if they didn’t hear anything , as Alex temper was finally getting out of control, the woman moved. She walked towards Alex,keeping every step slowly and steady.

After arriving in front of him, the woman removed her veil and revealed her face.

” Why is it you?”

Alex was surprised to see Talsha in front of him and that too in a situation like this. He remembered her because before he met Emmy, this woman used to make appearances before him and Jordan had confirmed that she was the only heir of the Ludacris family but as she never pestered him directly, Alex didn’t bother with her.

Talsha put on a genuine smile, everything was going according to her plan. The bait was well taken and her prey was standing right in front of her.

“Your friend is not going to make it but if  I intercede, her life can be saved. You do not need to feel guilty and helpless as you are no stranger to me.”

Although Alex did not bother with any other womenfolks, it doesn’t mean that he was oblivious to the vicious mind set of women. With just her tone, he could see where she was heading to.

” Cut the sweet talk, say it straightly, what do you want?”

Talsha had already expected that Alex won’t be taking their help at the first stance itself but she never thought that he could be this cold towards the helping hands and she blamed it all on Emmy.

” I knew the son of the last Zucathore king shall not be naive to take the bait easily but as far as I can see you are powerless even in front of these dark world leaders, then with confidence are you slithering your tongue against me ?”

Alex did not waste any other second, he observed the situation and knew that he could not win over these powerhouses while protecting Janet but still he raised his sword and took the defending posture.

Talsha waved at the leaders to attack and capture Alex but surprisingly Alex could deal with the three leaders smoothly. Watching the fight of one against three, Talsha was entertaining herself when suddenly she felt a piercing pain in her head.

” Enchantress… she is back!”

Talsha’s heart trembled at its thought itself, she felt pity at her weak self and the desire to raise her powers engulfed her all rationality.

” Back off you good for nothing pigs.”

She screamed at her top voice. Startled by the sudden intervention of their miss, the three leaders stopped the fight, Alex who was totally vigilant at the surroundings also flashed confusion in his eyes.

This cannot be the girl in his college, the woman changed but what trifle could she have with him apart from liking him and also how did she know that he was the heir of the Zucathore clan?

One after one questions started arising in his mind but never once he dropped his attention on the devilish woman staring at him viciously.

Both of them were staring at each other, as the leaders left the battle area, Alex gripped on his sword tightly. He looked at Janet who was lying on the grassy patch of land nearby. The green grass was now red in color due to her blood flowing continuously.Her complexion was getting pale due to lack of blood and it was evident that her condition was getting worsened as time went.. He had to find a way to get away from these troublemakers before Janet lost more blood.

Looking at Alex, Talsha sneered.

” No sword skill can help you now. Say goodbye to yourself and be ready to be my slave for this lifetime.”

Before Alex could digest her words, a strong force pressurized him from every angle. He could not even breathe properly, after struggling a bit, Alex raised his head towards the perpetrator.  In front, he saw the weird woman was making patterns with her hands and then an astonishing yet powerful white light shot towards him.

Boooooooommmmm…

A violent spark quickly shook the whole area, Alex had covered Janet on the ground but unfortunately Talsha and the other three leaders were severely affected.

The last scene which Alex saw was a black shadow engulfing the four people lying on his opposite side and disappearing into space. He lost his consciousness and fell right beside Janet.

The commotion had been actually near the territories of the Esbertrazian clan, so the clan elders and Mike along with Galstorie rushed to the area. When they reached the place, they were shocked by the scene in front of them

They found the unconscious Alex and Janet right beside a freshly burnt plot of land. Galstorie quickly let the elite team soldiers to search the place for any other fatalities or injured enemy.

“It seems that the history has been repeated.”

Neshag murmured under his breath, listening to which the Esbertrazian elders were shocked.

“Do you think that she is really back?”

Elder Rotrigues had tears in his eyes while asking this question but deep inside his heart, he knew that it was impossible.

Galstorie sighed, ” Neshag may be right on this, it seems that the history has been repeated but this time the outcome is different.”
