She Belongs To The Devil

Chapter 329 - Run!

Theodore was the first one to realize that Lillian had opened the gate to Hell.

And the second to realize that was Agnes. When Lillian was pinned down to the ground, she had thought that the vision that she had about the opening of gates to hell had passed and that everything was going to be okay.

But could she be any more wrong? She was stunned when she saw the bright orange light shining in the middle of the barrier.

Theodore glanced towards the barrier and calmly ordered the witches who were currently surrounding him and using him as their power source, "Ladies, I am going to need all of you to complete the barrier a little faster. It looks like we are going to have some… uninvited guests."

"The prophecy has come true…" Tabitha sighed as she turned her head towards the barrier.

The rest of the witches also became aware of the danger that lay ahead of them. The whole dark and windy atmosphere, and the orange glow were hard to miss.

The guards and the Princes and Princess were also attracted by that orange glow.

By now, Edwin had also arrived near the barrier. He was standing beside Adeline to ask what was taking so long and also to ask why they were torturing Lillian instead of capturing her soon.

However, before he could ask any of those, the portal opened and everyone's eyes were glued to that glowing thing.

Adeline and Edwin also instantly realized what Lillian had done. As they were close to the barrier, they clearly saw what was on the other side of the portal.

And as Azriel had shown a glimpse of Hell to both of them in the test, they immediately recognized that the place that they were seeing through that 'hole' was indeed Hell.

Raphael, who was also standing beside Adeline couldn't help but express his curiosity, "Are all of you seeing that orange thing? What the hell is that?"

And Adeline and Edwin answered in cohesion, "Hell…"

The Mystic Coven wanted to head towards the barrier to assist Sybil. They were well aware that she alone wouldn't be able to hold the gate. Once the monsters would start to come out of the portal, it was going to be everyone's doom.

But right now, they were very close to finishing creating the magic circle in the carriage.

And if they abruptly stopped the spell now, there was a chance that the barrier that they were creating would backfire on them and they wouldn't be able to use their magic for some time.

That 'some time' would vary between a few minutes to a few days.

And they didn't want to risk it because, without their magic, they were nothing. There wasn't much that they would be able to do to fight against whatever would come through that gate of Hell.

Theodore was also well aware of what was at stake if he ran towards the portal right now. Though he wanted to deal with the portal to Hell right away, the witches were channeling his power right now and he couldn't do anything other than wait for the witches to finish their spell soon.

Inside the barrier, nothing happened for quite a while. Nothing came through the portal.

Lillian had passed out because of the insurmountable amount of dark energy that was coursing through her veins.

Sybil was already up on her feet and was trying several ways to close the portal. However, Lillian had used the blood spell. And as the rule of the blood spell, only the one who cast it would be able to close it.

So after exhausting every option that was at Sybil's disposal, she gave up trying to close the gate, and instead, she readied herself for the upcoming mortal danger that she was in. As she was the first one that the monsters would have to go through, she didn't know whether she would even be able to stand against them for a minute.

"I hope my sisters will come to my aid soon. I don't think I am strong enough to hold the demons from Hell," Sybil nervously thought to herself as a drop of sweat trickled down her spine.

Outside, Adeline and Edwin were surprised that both of them were aware of where the portal led to. They glanced at each other but they didn't have time to indulge in a conversation sharing how they knew what it was.

"Hell?" Raphael dismissively chuckled, not believing that they literally meant what they said.

However, when he saw the petrified look on both of them, he nervously asked again, "Wait! Do the two of you mean like… actual Hell?" Raphael glanced through the portal again and like the stories about Hell, the other side of the portal indeed looked flaming and scary and a ghastly shade of red.

All of the guards' attention was on the conversation of the Royals. They were already terrified by the witches' power display. And the Royals were telling that there was something even more terrifying than those witches?

And as if to confirm what Raphael was asking, a Gargoyle stepped out of the portal while roaring loudly.

The humans had never seen something that scary ever before in their life. When that ancient monster roared at the top of its lungs, the human's lungs were about to burst because of panic attacks.

For a while, all of them were flabbergasted to even move an inch. They watched as the monster, which looked like a pile of rocks with wings, stomped its heavy feet on Earth. It sent mild tremors just by walking.

They also watched as Sybil threw her frail attacks in an attempt to stop that monster. But that Gargoyle spread its wings and roared at Sybil. His roar was enough to make her stumble down to the ground with fear.

That Gargoyle then swiftly jerked its head to the side and glared at the humans with its red and glowing eyes.

Everyone gasped. Almost all of them could feel their soul leaving their bodies. 

When that terrifying monster began making its way towards them, Adeline was finally able to get her speech back. She shouted while her eyes were glued to that fearsome monster, "Er… everyone… I would have never said this if the situation wasn't like this… But…"

"Run!"

Her sharp voice was able to bring everyone out of their daze. Adeline didn't need to command twice. Everyone, along with the Royals, began to literally run for their life.

There was no way that their mere swords would be able to hurt that monster from Hell.. Heck, their swords wouldn't even be able to scratch that ancient monster made out of rocks.
