Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

"Any last wishes?"

Lily gulps, taking a few steps back each time the king moves closer. Fear shakes her heart as death stares at her.

\'Is this really the end?\' she asks herself. \'Dying at my own father\'s hand… what a joke.\'

But at this time, the other Guardians, despite losing parts of their limbs, moved.

They try to block the king\'s path as they scream, "Run, Leader, at the very least, you need to stay alive."

The inscriptions on their weapons start glowing; one of them, who lost both her legs, throws her sword toward Belthazar.

The sword crackles with electricity, piercing through the air; even though it starts slowing down when it enters Balthazar\'s zone of power, it still moves toward him.

It still doesn\'t pose any danger to Belthazar, but it gives enough time for the others to launch their attacks.

Arrows of water, axes covered in ice, and many weapons imbued with elements fly toward him.

Lily uses the opportunity to quickly escape, feeling ashamed of what she did.

On the surface, she may claim her actions were to ensure her comrades\' sacrifices were not in vain. But in reality, she knows. In her heart, she ran with fear of death.

She doesn\'t want to die yet; there are many things she still wants to do. She just got approved by the Sentinel to come out from this realm, one of her dreams.

To die now, just before it\'s fulfilled, many thoughts overwhelm her mind while she uses all her strength to move further away.

Creating wind with the spear in her hand, she propels her body forward, leaving the area as quickly as she can.

While she does this, she sends a short message to William and Sasha, only telling them to help her.

She doesn\'t have the energy to write much since the only way she can type is by biting the spear with her mouth.

Desperate situations require desperate measures.

Lily requires direct contact with her weapon to control the wind element. Even though she is not skilled enough to use it to fly, it\'s still very useful in boosting her movement.

Adrenaline fuels her brain, dampening all the pain coming from her torn hand.

Back at the castle, Alex and Alice have already made a deal. He lets Aurora and Blaire back outside.

Meeting her sister, Aurora\'s face turns gloomy; she knows the cat is out of the bag now.

Alice looks at her sternly, asking for an explanation, but Alex doesn\'t feel interested in their family drama; he turns to Blaire, "What will you do now? Your wife is worried about you."

"Sasha woke up?" Blaire asked with an excited tone. He feels relieved hearing the news. ƜѴ∟Е@ƜƤ¥Я%

Aurora\'s eyes, instead, turn sharp; it would be a lie if she said she didn\'t feel any jealousy at all. That is one other reason she put Sasha into a coma.

"What are you looking at? Explain everything, Aurora!" Alice says with a stern tone.

Blaire sighed; he didn\'t know what to do now, but he didn\'t want to lie to his wife.

"I will go with you, I need to meet with Sasha."

"Alright," Alex replied, but before they could even leave, Aurora complained, "You are not leaving me again, Blaire! No matter where you go, I will be there with you!"

Hearing her sister ignore her makes Alice\'s veins throb, "Aurora!"

"Look, Sis, I respect you, but there are things that are non-negotiable for me. And this is one of them."

Alice sighed; she had never seen her sister like this before. If this had happened before, she would have never let Aurora go, but with her deal with Alex, she decided she could trust him.

Having Aurora near him will also allow her to keep an eye on his movements, just in case Alex double-crosses her.

While Alex, Aurora, and Blaire leave the castle, outside the forest, William\'s chariot has already arrived. After receiving her plea for help, William doesn\'t waste time and quickly returns to this place.

Sasha looks worriedly toward the forest, "What do you think happened?"

William squints his chubby eyes, turning them almost into a line, "What else? The king is too strong for her to handle, so she escaped and asked for our help."

Sasha turns silent; she can\'t help but imagine the worst has happened.

What if Lily is killed by the king? The thought scares her to the core.

Time passes, but Lily is nowhere to be seen. William starts considering leaving the area quickly; each second he lingers there, the riskier it becomes.

The king is there; who knows if the concubine suddenly comes here? None of them are strong enough to fight her.

While William considers this idea, a message comes to Sasha, making her smile.

She quickly types a reply to the message, saying, "Sir Alex has returned with Blaire. I told them to come here."

Hearing Alex will come makes William feel a bit better.

Back at Blaire\'s Mansion, Alex frowns upon hearing the news from Blaire. "Aurora, if the king really kills Lily, it will make things complicated. You may not know this, but Lily is one of his favorites."

"Is she really that important? I know she is the Guardian leader, but even in the past, when one of them dies, the Sentinel doesn\'t do anything."

"I heard it from his own mouth. I am sure he will go feral if something really happened. Just order the king to do something else and stop pursuing her."

With Alex\'s words, Aurora relents; she contacts her sister to talk about this. They then move to the forest.

Aurora is now disguised back as a Feraldin, but she changes her appearance. No one in the palace will recognize her as the concubine.
