Chapter 261 Conundrum

Swiftly, Alphard pushed up and stood up in the carriage. Before he could attack the fae females, bright light blinded him and he heard a loud explosion. When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing on a small elevated piece of carriage floor, the rest of which had blown away. The two fae females were high up in the air.

"What do you want me to do, Ileus?" asked Anastasia as she glowered at the man still standing on the broken carriage floor. "Should I deal with him or the others?"

"I will deal with him," Ileus replied nonchalantly. "Flora and you can handle the other Nyxers."

Anastasia smiled and then a sinister smile came to her lips. "It's been ages since I have had this kind of an adrenalin gush!" she said. And the next moment along with Flora, she charged at the Nyxers. The Nyxers were easy to detect even in their wolf form. Gray and with thin fur, they smelled disgusting. Anastasia saw a bunch of them attacking the Draka soldiers. She flapped her wings and flew to them. She hurled her hands forward and sent a beam of red sizzling lights towards them. The Nyxers yelped as their fur caught fire and dispersed, leaving the Draka soldiers immediately. Confused, they looked up at the sky to see what actually attacked them and were dumbfounded to see fae female.

Alphard was so perplexed now that his mind wasn't working. "Where is Lusitania? The fae girl," he asked in an intimidating voice. "And where is Eltanin?" At first, he couldn't believe that he was looking at no one else but Prince Ileus but them as Ileus's golden gaze burned with rage, he knew that he was facing none other than the Dark Prince. Alphard had to shift and leave the place immediately. He feared for his safety because he knew he was no match to Prince Ileus.

Ileus stalked him as if stalking his prey. "And why should I tell you where he is? Who the fuck are you in Felis's army? Why are you looking for the fae girl?"

"I am Alphard!" he replied in a menacing voice. "Hydra's General of the Army." He dipped his chin. Then he brought his sword in front of him and with two fingers of his free hand, he beckoned Ileus. "Come and fight with me with your sword, instead of your magic."

Ileus raised his eyebrow. He snapped the fingers of his right hand and Alphard's sword turned into a snake. With a hiss, a startled Alphard threw the snake away from him. "What makes you think that I am going to fight you with my sword when my magic can take care of a pussy like you? My sword deserves better foes."

"I am not a pussy!" Alphard shouted and then pounced at Ileus, shifting into his wolf mid-air.

Ileus was ready for the assault. He grabbed the wolf's front legs and swirled him up in the air. With a force, he hurled him in the air. Alphard went down crashing into a tree which splintered when he collided.

Alphard writhed with pain, but he got up and darted towards Ileus, baring his fangs and peeling his lips back. He aimed for Ileus's neck. Once he sank his fangs in the neck, he was sure he would take down the prince. However, as soon as he jumped at him, the prince disappeared from there. Alphard landed over a Nyxer with his fangs in his neck. The Nyxer writhed under him and after a few seconds, he died.

Frustrated, Alphard withdrew his fangs and turned for Ileus, but the wizard was standing right behind him. Ileus grabbed him by his throat and lifted him up in the air with a loud growl. Alphard was on his hind legs now, his eyes leveling with Ileus. "Look around you, Alphard," Ileus snarled, his fangs elongated and his eyes blazing like fire. "My wife has killed almost your entire army. And you thought you could attack us? I am going to let you live so that you can narrate this tale to your king. Tell him that Eltanin is ready and that he is coming for him." With a bellow, he lifted Alphard and threw him to the ground. Debris flew up when the wolf fell on the ground with a loud, bone-breaking thud.

Alphard let out a low howl of pain, as he gathered himself to get up. He limped back to his feet.

"The fae girl, Lusitania is out of your reach. Don't even think of coming back for her." Ileus took two steps towards Alphard and the wolf back, a cry escaping his mouth.

He scanned the land around him. Anastasia was having so much fun along with Flora that he was astonished. The women surely had some adrenalin gushing through their blood. Well, they were the creatures of the Lore. He didn't expect anything less. More than half the Nyxers were lying in pools of blood, injured or dead or burned. Anastasia was using her magic to annihilate the enemy. His chest filled with pride to see how easily she could take over a small army on her own. Some Nyxers were trying to jump up and eat her wings but she was beyond their reach as she hovered at a safe distance.

Ileus turned his attention to Alphard who was also looking at all the chaos and destruction. "This is just a sample of what I can do." He chuckled and flicked his wrist. Instantly, the Draka soldiers along with his wife and Flora disappeared from there. Alphard stood there watching him, conundrum plaguing his mind.

In the afternoon, when they were still in Sgiáth Bio, Ileus had gone to Eltanin to talk to him. At that time they were resting for lunch. He said to him, "You shouldn't take Lusitania to Draka or Pegasii. She has a lot of magic in her. If anyone smells her, they will attack her."

"Then what should I do?" Eltanin asked, irritation and worry written on his features.
