Chapter 365 - Saving Her Cursed Lycan Prince

Rufus didn’t waste too much energy on those zombies. After repelling them with a few flash bombs, he quickly turned around and followed after us.

But our problem now was the vampires; they had caught up to us.

The silver-haired vampire activated his special power and released copious amounts of smoke, making us all lose our sense of direction. I couldn’t even see my hand in front of me.

I covered my nose and coughed hard. The smoke smelled so bad that I almost fainted.

Suddenly, I heard someone retching in front of me.

“Damn it! It smells like shit!”

It was Flora. She had been particularly sensitive to scents recently and vomited as soon as she smelled anything unpleasant. I made a mental note to have her checked at the hospital after we got out of here.

With Warren by Flora’s side, I didn’t worry about her too much. What did worry me was that Ashley and Layla were nowhere to be found.

And so was Rufus.

I called out his name, hoping to find him.

But there was nothing but white smoke surrounding me.

I slowly made my way forward.

All of a sudden, a hand reached out of the white smoke and grabbed my wrist. I instinctively attacked it.

“Hey, calm down! It’s just me,” Layla said hurriedly.

My first paused mid-air. “Where’s Ashley? Is she with you?”

“Yes!” Ashley’s voice sounded.

I breathed a sigh of relief. Then Layla said seriously, “We have to move fast. If I’m not mistaken, this white smoke has a dizzying effect and we can’t stay here long.”

After saying that, Layla took my hand and sprinted in another direction.

Soon, the three of us made it out of the white smoke and came to a dense forest.

Just then, Flora also emerged from the white smoke, covering her mouth and gagging.

“Where’s Warren?” I asked in surprise when I saw that she was alone.

“We were separated in the chaos just now. How about Rufus? Weren’t you with him?” Flora looked around questioningly.

“We were separated, too.” I sighed.

Now only Layla, Ashley, Flora, and a small number of soldiers were with me.

I looked around and had a sinking feeling about this place. We didn’t pass here earlier.

“Ashley, do you know where we are?” I asked nervously.

Ashley shook her head. She looked just as confused as me. “No idea. I’ve never been here before…”

As she spoke, I suddenly felt a burning sensation around my neck.

Ever since Rufus left the pendant with me, I had worn it at all times.

Frowning, I gingerly touched the pendant.

I wasn’t imagining things. It was burning hot to the touch.

Sylvia’s POV

I took the pendant off my neck and looked at it closely. Was I imagining things or was it glowing a gloomy red light?

“What’s that? Why is it glowing?” Flora’s eyes widened in curiosity. Apparently, I wasn’t imagining things.

I didn’t say anything. Biting my lower lip, I stared at the pendant uneasily. I had a bad feeling about this.

“Damn it! Not again!” Flora stomped her foot in frustration.

I looked up to see what she was shouting at and saw that black mist began to circle us. But it was different from the white smoke just now. The black mist was odorless, but I somehow knew it was extremely dangerous.

“Run!” I shouted in a panic.

But it was too late. The black mist spread towards us very fast. In a matter of mere seconds, we were enshrouded in the mist and couldn’t see anything around us, nor could we hear any sounds.

I shouted the others’ names and started walking urgently.

Finally, I made my way out of the mist. But I found myself in a small stone chamber. There was nothing in the room, save for a stone tablet in front of me, with complex and mysterious runes written on it, like some kind of ancient language.

I looked around my surroundings carefully and found that not only the stone tablet was covered with runes, but also walls. Densely packed runes covered the walls like ancient graffiti.

I observed these runes carefully, trying to find some clues. However, the longer I stared at the markings on the wall, the dizzier I felt. I felt like I was going out of my mind.

I squeezed my eyes shut and slowly opened them again. In that moment, I felt as though I had received some sort of information.

Just then, my brain suddenly ached violently.

I couldn’t stand the pain. I staggered backwards and was about to collapse to the floor when a pair of hands caught me. I vaguely heard Layla’s voice from behind me.

“This is the language of witches and wizards. It’s some kind of curse. You’d better not look at it.”

To my surprise, not only Layla was here, but also Flora and Ashley.

As for the soldiers, they were nowhere to be found.
