Chapter 367 - Paled

The miasma that was oozing uncontrollably from around Onyx's body became thicker and the great dragon now looked almost like a shadow that had emerged from the lowest depths of hell itself. Gav on the other hand had started to lose the darkness that had been shrouding him a while ago bit by bit.

It was as if Onyx had devoured all his darkness by now. The beam of dark magic that initially was coming from Gav's palm slowly thinned out and Onyx roared mightily, spreading out his majestic wings, and the shadow it cast on the ground was dark and threatening.

"My Queen!" Zirrus' voice echoed out. "The dragon! Aim for the dragon!"

Evie had already moved to aim her hands towards Onyx before Zirrus even finished shouting out his words. She could see that it was Onyx now that the darkness was trying to control. She did not know if Gav had forced his dark magic onto Onyx or if was Onyx who had deliberately pulled it from him… but Evie did not have the luxury to think and wonder on which was what anymore. She needed to focus on the task at hand and make sure that nothing goes wrong. Her complete concentration is vital to the success of her next move. Therefore, she zeroed in her attention to Onyx and tuned other distractions around her out.

She could feel the chills in the air coming from the great dragon. And she knew full well what kind destruction Onyx could cause if he ends up going on a rampage while being consumed by that dark magic that had gone rouge. Even without the additional dark magic from Gavrael, Onyx was already a considerable threat in his own right. Now that he had that dark force within him, Evie could only imagine the extent of the destruction that he would bring if he went on a rampage.

Therefore, Evie could only go with the decision of trapping Onyx within a dark crystal. She was not that willing to do that even as how she was unwilling to do so on Gavrael. However, she was left with no other choice but to just do it!

A strong and blinding beam of light then finally came streaming out from her palms. The sheer strength of the magic that left her created a strong gust of wind that made her clothes and hair dance violently around her, causing all who were looking on to see her as an avenging goddess of light who was cold and scorching all at the same time. The brilliant white light that emerged from her was brighter than the burning sun in the noon sky and her concentration and focus was so on point that there was an aloof and icy look that was usually never seen on her stunning face. All the light faes who saw their queen's current look had their hearts lifted and felt so touched that tears almost fell from their eyes. They acknowledged that they were so privileged to be able to witness the power and magnificence of their new sovereign.

But in the very last moment that Evie's magic was about to reach the dragon, it noticed her and what she was about to do. Its eyes that were swirling with something dark had suddenly lifted and looked straight at Evie and in a blink of an eye, the dragon dodged Evie's oncoming magic as it catapulted itself smoothly into the sky, roaring out its claim as the mightiest and most powerful.

Evie looked up. She prepared herself for a possible attack. If Onyx end up aiming an attack at her, she will take that as the opportunity to trap him when she launches her counterattack.

However, the dragon just flew in circles around the sky, roaring as he passed them, the thunder and lightning raged around him, providing an impressive backdrop every time he swooped over Evie and her company of people.

When Evie averted her gaze from Onyx and looked for Gav, she immediately flew towards him without hesitation and landed on the ground right before him. Seeing Gav seemingly have lost all of his strength, Evie did not think any further before her body instinctively rushed towards him. She had moved so fast it did not give her people the opportunity to stop her.

"Gav!" she yelled as she approached him, her heart dropped to her stomach as she feared the worst has happened to him.

The moment she reached him, he had fallen over and slumped on the ground. Dark magic had stopped coming out in copious amounts from his palms but there were still little wisps of dark smoke seeping out from his body in short intervals and headed off towards Onyx that was now flying aimlessly in the sky.

Her heart was thudding wildly as she quickly but gently lifted up Gav's head and rested it in her lap to cushion it.

"Gav!" she called out again, her voice soft but filled with urgency. Why had he not responded to her even after her calling out to him? Was there something wrong with him? Her heart then trembled when he gave a small cough and her eyes caught sight of a trail of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. That was enough to throw her into a state of agitation.

Wasting no time, Evie promptly placed her free palm right in the middle of his chest and her healing magic came gushing out. She did not hold anything back as she poured all her healing magic into his body to allow it to fix whatever that was hurt within him. But Gav's hand weakly caught her wrist to stop her actions.

Evie looked at him helplessly with eyes shining with tears and when he finally opened his eyes with much trouble, Evie saw that his piercing and vivid blue eyes had paled considerably. The fierceness and coldness in those beautiful eyes that were a characteristic attribute she could always find in them seemed to have melted as well.. What is happening to him? She could feel the faint prickling of a bad premonition that was looming over her and that sent a chill shooting into her already unsteady heart.
