Chapter 143
Nancy felt her feet leave the air as he swung his arm across her waist, trying to bend her over to fall onto her back, but she securely fastened her grip on the air and flipped forward so that he was the one who fell to the floor.
Bam!
He fell, raising dust in the air.
Boom!
A loud resounding noise reverberated outside the Battle ground, almost causing an earthquake.
The sound of Koan groaning as he slowly recovered from the floor was drowned out by another bang. Nancy forgot all about him immediately as she was reminded by the noise outside that her father’s life was at stake here.
Rushing forward, limping midway, she grabbed Liliana and threw her over her shoulders with difficulty, since her legs were still adjusting to walking after being tossed around, before leaving the demolished building with such a speed that Koan didn’t have time to go after them.
Once she reached the bloodbath vicinity, Luna Luan shot something behind her with her gun, and Nancy turned reflectively to see a Kitsune drop at her side with a fresh stream of warm blood running at the side of her head.
Without speaking, the Luna fearlessly dashed forward, and with a dagger, shredded off her tails before turning to Nancy.
“Where’s Koan p>
“Luna Luan,” Nancy unceremoniously placed Liliana’s stiff body in Luan’s arms, the Luna staring up at her In shock and confusion. “Please I need to see my father, where is he p>
“He’s not here. He’s been taken away by my husband and several pack warriors. I don’t know where, but they headed south p>
“What?” She yelled in frustration, turning to run into the crowd before Luan could ask about Koan again.
“What am I going to do with you?” She asked Liliana, but the woman remained still.
“Hakura.” She suddenly said, and the witch appeared before her, dutifully taking Liliana into her arms.
“Tell me, witch,” she grabbed a stray sword which had fallen from the ground. Kitsunes bearing only one to 50 tails used weapons like this, since they weren’t mastered In the arts of using their specialized powers. “How do I find the other heir of Foxtune p>
She moved forward and with brisk movements decapitated three unarmed Kitsunes who had lost their weapons in a fight, titling her head to the side, swiftly dodging a Kitsune flying awkwardly in the air, a werewolf onto her neck, digging deep its claws,. drawing blood.
“I don’t know, but so far, I saw the late Queen’s vision, Luna. She had named her female child, Fiona p>
Luna Luan pursed her lips in worry, her face covered in gruesome blood.
“I don’t see her amongst us. I fear she may have been held captive by her people already, and like Koan, they must have brainwashed her p>
“Luna,” the witch didn’t show a single sign of tiredness even as they moved through the crowd, Liliana in her arms. “We can’t let Alpha Koan nor Alpha Nancy out of our sight. If they have princess Fiona with them, the ritual is still incomplete without these two p>
“Nancy won’t be a problem” The Luna sneered, watching in amusement as Nancy grabbed a Kitsune by the head, slamming her into ground, burying her skull three feet down without much effort. “It’s Koan. That necklace… did you see it p>
“We need to destroy it,” The witch seriously pointed out, stopping to Barr Luan’s way. “I saw it in my vision. The entire Kitsune and werewolf clan… they were bowing to the two heirs of Foxtune, and around their necks, were the enchanted necklaces. They must be destroyed, and the siblings must not meet before then p>
Saying that, the witch disappeared.
Before Luan could react, a heavy weight landed at her back, and her entire body was flung forwards. She grunted as she crashed into a pack of warriors, and was already up on her feet, her cat like eyes glancing around the vicinity with the fervency of a warrior, only to meet with the eyes of p>
Her blood stained lips curled into a sneering smile as she twirled her sword in the air before bringing it down sharply, the tip of the blade pointed to the ground.
“I’ve been looking for you.” She smirked and went after him with a incredible speed, cutting down Kitsunes in her way as she lunged forward. She was aiming to tear that cursed necklace off his neck.
Nancy ran inside the Alpha’s domain. Not much was left of the house as everything had destroyed beyond repair, but she didn’t mind that now. She needed a new pair of clothes. The ones she wore were uncomfortable to move in, and strenuous to work with.
Raiden ran after her.
“What… Why are you… how are… ” he was breathless as he reloaded his gun. “Where’s Liliana p>
“She’s safe.” Was all she said, still moving forward.
“Nancy you know you shouldn’t be alone!” He yelled in panic, closely following her, his eyes darting around. The entire roof was blown off the building, so he was well aware of Kitsunes roaming about the skies like birds, raining fire and brimstones on his kind.
She turned to him In confusion.
“What do you mean p>
He sighed, running his hands through his hair matted with sweat, dirt and blood, his expression hardening.
“Why do you think the Kitsunes are here p>
“I,” She pursed her lips. “I never really… “
“They’re out for the only female Alpha of the werewolf territory, and the two heirs of Foxtune. Along with the three Alpha’s they’ve killed so far p>
“Excluding my father.” Nancy snapped but urged him to go on,
“Yes that’s two… for now,” he avoided her dark gaze “But if they get their hands on you three… ” he said nothing else but let the aftermath of his chilling unfinished sentence settle in the pit of her stomach like an unsatisfied gnawing hunger.
“What will happen Raiden?” She asked in a whisper, grabbing his hand, trying to get him to look at her.
“I don’t know. But Luna Luna said it… we might all be wiped out of existence p>
“Who are they? The heirs of Foxtune. Who are they then,” When she didn’t get a reply, she paced around, raking her hands through her hair. “Why did they make Koan wear that… that thing around his neck. Why do they want him to hurt us… to hurt me? What will they gain p>
“I think I know why.” Liliana suddenly said, appearing in the room, followed closely through the entrance by the witch, Hakura holding her glassball.
Nancy and Raiden simultaneously turned to the two.
