BXBX NOVEL Chapter 312 Cracks
"Adora, this is not looking that good for us at the time, we have to find a way to destroy that crystal or we will have to fight," Alix said as Zack assisted in fortifying the barrier.
"Vellon, you've stooped low, but let's see how far you can go," Zack said, and Vellon looked at him, then at Adora, who glanced at him, and he gripped his head and gnashed his teeth as his eyes began to glow red.
"Can I kill them?" Vellon inquired as a dark aura encircled him, and Adora's eyes widened as she sensed him and turned to face him.
"We have to get going," she said as she placed her hand on the crystal and gnashed her teeth as she began to see flashbacks of her mother's death and dark moments in her life, but only she could see them because the darkness from the crystal was triggering them.
"This is bad," Adora said and Alix looked at her.
"What's the problem?" Kyllan inquired.
"I don't think I'll be able to destroy it; the darkness within this thing is bringing out another part of me; if it keeps up, I won't be able to do this," she replied, and Ifrit sighed.
"I can't help you with that, can I?" he asked and she smiled.
"You can't," she responded as Alix placed his hand on her shoulder and his eyes widened as he began hearing screams within his head and seeing the same images he used to see, and Adora left staring at him when his eyes began glowing black and red.
'This is bad, it will rip the gates apart and hurt him from within, I can't let that happen,' Adora thought as she moved Alix's hand away from her and he returned to normal, gnashing his teeth.
"It'll be difficult to destroy this thing, the darkness within it is powerful, to destroy this we will need a lot more than we have right now," he said, Adora looked at him then at the crystal and Vellon looked at then scoffed.
"Of course, it will be, it's not something that can easily be done, not by any of us here, that crystal will overwhelm any of us and crush the decent parts of us, it works nasty, it won't do you any good, you will only cause yourself pain, I suggest you just give up, let us have it and you will all leave here safe and alive, without a single scratch on your body, it's a very generous offer," Vellon said and they all looked at him with anger and he smirked.
"You guys really are stubborn, but that's expected from those who follow a creature like her around," Vellon added and Adora sighed.
"How are we going to get rid of the crystal, Adora?" Misran asked and she lowered her head, knowing it would be difficult and would disrupt one's mind, causing pain and resentment.
"We have to take it with us, we won't be able to destroy it like this, it will take time and most importantly more focus," she responded.
"That's not something that we can give right now, though, am I right?" Alix asked and Adora nodded.
"Yeah, you are right, we just need to get out of here without them following us but we are going to have to fight," She responded and Vellon chuckled.
"The barrier is breaking," Aerav said and Ifrit looked at Adora and she gnashed her teeth as more of Vellon's men arrived and Adora took a deep breath as she was about to move and Alix grabbed onto her hand then her eyes widened and she turned to look at him.
"Whatever you're thinking, I suggest you drop it, we came here as a team and we're leaving as one, I hope you're hearing me loud and clear," he said sternly as the others looked at them.
"Guys, this is not the time to be fighting," Eliza said, as Adora sighed.
"I hear you, Scott, get the ship in the air, Kyris, teleport him to the ship, I will hold the barrier in the meantime," Adora said, and Kyris moved away from the barrier, and Adora placed her hand against it, and her eyes began to glow red as Vellon stared at her, and a blue magic circle formed under Scott's feet, then he disappeared and reappeared in the ship, where he proceeded to start it up and get it in the air as soon as possible since he knew they didn't have much time.
"He'll take a while to get the ship up; we'll have to handle this on our own or they will be the ones leaving her with the crystal and not us, we have to fight," Alix said and the others agreed with him.
"Oh? Are you prepared to fight, kids? If that's the case, remove the barrier; you won't be able to escape because..." Vellon came to a halt, and Alix looked at him as he held onto his head, his eyes glowed blue, and he looked at Adora, who left staring at him before his eyes returned to red.
'Wh- What on earth is going on here? Something isn't right with this, I don't feel right,' Adora thought, and Alix placed his hand on her shoulder, which she held onto, before smiling and looking at him as Vellon looked at them and a slight smile appeared on his face before rushing towards the barrier and punching it, causing it to shake and they jumped as the cracks got larger.
"As you can see, this won't hold, Adora, get out of there, you guys should have taken my offer I was simply being generous now because you didn't, today you will all die, well, all of them, but you..." Vellon yelled as Alix drew her behind him, and his eyes began to glow bright red as the sword appeared in his hand, and the others prepared to fight because that seemed to be the only way out, but they had no idea the situation was a delicate one to handle and a lot was about to change for all of them.
