For now, I just needed to delay him. I watched as Hubson’s body became as withered and dry as a dead tree, his skin even starting to peel. All of a sudden, confusion struck me. Hubson couldn’t possibly be willing to die like this, could he?! At the rate he was going, it seemed he had resigned himself to be tortured to death by the Black Death Curse.
But as soon as this thought occurred to me, Hubson suddenly leaped past me in the blink of an eye, biting hard on Beryl’s neck.
When I saw Hubson’s teeth sink into Beryl’s neck, my heart seemed to stop beating in my chest. My greatest fear was now a reality. I let out an unearthly cry and turned into a wolf, pouncing on Hubson’s withered body.
I sank my claws into Hubson’s paper-like skin. He howled in pain, but he didn’t let go of Beryl. He fought me back desperately, which made every fiber of my being sting in pain.
Blood started to spurt out of all my orifices, blurring my vision.
But I didn’t dare to loosen my grip on him.
“Damn it, Sylvia! If you want to die together, then we’ll die together!” There was a crazed look in Hubson’s eyes, and his mouth twisted upwards in a sinister smile. Disgusting black blood oozed from his lips as energy gathered at his fingertips.
At that moment, I felt the power of the vampire progenitor. That was a self-destructive measure. If I wanted to live, I had to let go of Hubson immediately.
In a word, i had to make a choice either I let Beryl die, or I had to sacrifice my own life Naturally, I chose the latter.
I tried my best to endure Hubson’s attack, but I could barely hold on.
Just as I was about to black out from the pain, a giant silver wolf suddenly emerged from nowhere and bit Hubson by the neck.
It was Rufus!
Rufus’ movement was so powerful that it created a fierce gust of wind that nearly blinded me, His overwhelming power effortlessly shrouded Hubson’s, and with a deafening crack, I heard the disgusting sound of bones breaking.
I slowly peeled my eyes open, only to find that Rufus had bitten Hubson’s head clean off. Hubson’s severed head now rolled on the floor, his grey pupils gradually turning white. Still, he refused to stop glaring in Beryl’s direction, murmuring softly, “I came so close, Noreen. .”
The sickening, metallic smell of blood permeated the air as I watched this man, who was nearly as old as time itself, turn to dust. Until his final moment, he seemed to be unable to believe that his life had come to an end.
Survival of the fittest is the law of the jungle since time immemorial. Hubson should never have targeted Beryl, and he should never have challenged Rufus His death was set in stone from the moment he set foot inside the palace.
The moon, previously obscured by dark clouds, emerged once again, and the ominous aura that hung in the air began to dissipate. Rufus and I transformed back into our human forms. Only then did I see that lying by Rufus’ feet was the corpse of the vampire that had taken him away earlier. It appeared that Rufus finished him off, which explained why his supernatural ability had ceased and they had returned to this dimension.
When the other vampires saw that Hubson was dead, they all fled immediately.
“Go after them,” Rufus ordered in a voice so cold, a shiver ran down my spine.
The werewolf soldiers immediately chased after the remaining vampires with renewed vigor thanks to our victory.
But I couldn’t rest easily just yet. Hastily wiping the blood and sweat off my face, I rushed to Beryl’s side and carefully helped her up.
Beryl coughed and seemed to struggle to breathe. The wound on her neck was deep, and it wouldn’t stop bleeding “Sweetheart, it’s okay. It’s okay…” I cooed, though my voice trembled in horror.
Rufus immediately took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and pressed it against the wound. “The doctor will be here soon. Just hold on!” I laid Beryl flat on the floor and tried to ease her pain, but it didn’t take long before the handkerchief on her wound was dyed red with her blood.
Crystal’s POV
Beryl soon passed out from blood loss, and her breath was getting weaker and weaker. “Rufus, what should we do? Why hasn’t the doctor come yet?” I grabbed Rufus’ hand anxiously. Fear for my daughter’s life made me unable to think straight.
There had to be a way to save Beryl, but even in my panicked state, I could tell that it’d be difficult for a doctor to patch up her wound.
Rufus hugged my trembling body and said steadily, “Calm down. We need to remain calm at this time. Beryl will be fine, okay?”
“No, Rufus! We can’t just sit around and wait for the doctor while Beryl bleeds to death!” I ran my fingers through my hair in distress, my mind racing wildly.
“Hubson bit Beryl. Vampire fangs are poisonous, so ordinary treatment won’t work.
Thinking of this, I looked at Beryl in despair. I could see that her life force was fading away little by little. I closed my eyes in pain and said, “Rufus, we have to drive Noreen’s soul out now.”
Before Rufus could react, I immediately activated the witch power according to Murray’s instructions in an attempt to force Noreen’s soul out of Beryl’s body.
“No, Crystal! Stop! It won’t work!” Murray’s panicked voice pulled me to my senses. He came running towards us, out of breath and sweating profusely. “God, I’m so tired! This palace is way too big for an old man like me.” I looked at him in confusion. “What do you mean it won’t work.”
Murray walked up to me and then glanced at Beryl. “Hubson bit her, right? So even if you drive Noreen’s soul out of her body, Beryl will still die.”
“Then what should we do? We can’t let Beryl die, Murray. You must have a way to save her, right?” My fortitude had finally collapsed. I couldn’t accept the idea that Beryl would leave us forever. She was still so young and hadn’t seen the beauty of the world yet. She couldn’t die like this!
Murray squatted down next to Beryl, rolled up his sleeves, and inspected her wound. With a heavy expression on his face, he said, “I’m afraid I have no way The current situation of Beryl is very similar to your previous situation, Three forces are competing for the right in her body at the same time. The container that carries the great powers is small, and it may get exploded. Moreover, Beryl’s werewolf power hasn’t awakened yet. It’s very weak. And Noreen’s suppressing her witchcraft. These two combined can’t resist Hudson’s power.
Even if her body won’t implode, she’ll become a zombie- the lowest level among the vampires.”
“No, Murray! You have to save her! You’re supposed to be a powerful wizard.
You’ve seen a lot of things in your life. You must have a way!” The sadness almost suffocated me, driving me mad. So was this the curse of all black witches? Was I doomed to lose all the ones I loved?
I shouldn’t have hoped for anything better. A black witch’s bloodline symbolized evil, and whoever carried it was destined to meet tragedy.
I didn’t believe it before, but now reality showed me that it was true. I was fated to suffer endless pain thanks to my bloodline.
Rufus was just as depressed as me. He held me in his arms, and I could feel his body trembling as he bit back tears. We were both afraid.
Murray sighed. He took out a palm-sized jade pendant from his pocket and murmured a spell in a low voice. The jade pendant emitted a dark purple light, instantly enveloping Beryl’s small body. “This will at least slow down the speed at which Beryl’s life force dissipates. The only thing we can do now is forcefully transfer the power of the black witch from you to Beryl.”
Murray looked at me with a grave expression. “The more black witch power Beryl has in her system, the greater her chance of survival. But doing this will mean putting your own life at risk.”
Crystal’s POV
I agreed with Murray’s idea without hesitation. “Let’s do it. Transfer all my witch power to Beryl.”
“No.” Rufus resolutely shook his head. He frowned at me and said, “Crystal, I won’t let you take such a risk.”
“This is the only way we can save Beryl. Are you really just going to watch her die right in front of us?”
“Crystal, you’re the most important person to me more important than even our children.” As Rufus said this, he grimaced miserably. “I don’t want to lose you again. I can’t shake off the feeling that if you do this, you’ll leave me forever.” Rufus words made me burst into tears. I didn’t want to leave him, but I had no choice.
“Rufus. .” I threw my arms around him and sobbed. “Beryl’s dying. She is our daughter. Ican’t watch her die, not if I can save her. Just let me try, okay? What if I survive? I don’t want to regret anything in the future.”
