CHAPTER 277: Her Own Priorities

The happy atmosphere in their group became grave when they got close to Draco Empire.

It was in ruins, the buildings, the forests, everything was in chaos.

As they got close, they could still hear explosions here and there, meaning that there was still a fight that was going on.

Hunter brought out the orb for communication and tried contacting Zian but to no avail.

They couldn't help but to have the same thoughts in their mind, 'Are we too late again?'

After landing, Hunter and Willow, used their abilities to check the land.

Stormie used her ability to check the air.

While Saphira used the light to cover as much place as possible.

Draco Empire was in a big piece of land, there are also three kingdoms under them, meaning the land area was a no joke.

Understanding this, Saphira gave a command, "I am selfish right now, search for Zian. He is our priority but make sure to remember where the other people are."

She was the embodiment of light, of saving the world from darkness but she was not a deity.

To hell with the deities when they didn't do anything all this time watching the whole world plunge into chaos instead.

Since they themselves aren't moving then she can choose what she wants to do either.

She will have her own priorities.

Lily didn't think she was wrong either at the same time, even with this selfishness, Lily didn't feel anything wrong with the ability. Meaning this was an act that does not go against the role of the host of the light ability.

They moved towards the imperial city while they continued sensing the things around them.

In the end, they really didn't need to look far, Zian was actually in the palace fighting against the forces both friends and enemies.

"Damn it!!! You cowards!!! They already died, why must you cause them to fight more?!!?" he shouted looking in front of him.

There are two people in front of him, one was a woman and another was a man.

They appeared and started war about a week and a half ago, starting on the three kingdoms that were surrounding the empire.

When news arrived to the imperial city and by the time they sent help, it was already too late.

The attack was both sudden and fast, no one was able to really understand what was going on until it was too late and everything was over.

Even those that were sent to help, died just like that.

What was making it difficult was the fact that they may be able to kill the dark forces but when one of them were to be taken down, that person will instantly become part of the dark force.

With the way the two, who are currently infront of Zian now, fights, it was obvious that they will instantly lose.

If you can kill one dark force now but they can kill three then wouldn't you have an additional two enemies?

Saphira had asked Zian to call them once something was amiss but how can he when everything was too fast and too sudden, they couldn't even have a break.

Most of his knights were already down, some he sent to the underground place they created for the people.

Sadly they saved more than just a hundred.

He only came up now because he was about to check if there are more survivors. He knew his own limits, he can't fight these two head on no matter what he does.

They are obviously far stronger, just like Chester who was here in the past.

It took a whole lot of fighting to kill him yet right now, Zian could feel that these two are even more stronger.

The underground place was located under the city itself, Zian chose to run to the palace in order to ensure that the remaining people won't be affected, when he realized that he was found.

The two people looked at him indifferently before raising their hands to attack.

Black fire and metal rushed to him simultaneously, he didn't have time to attack for all his focus was on defending, he wasn't only fighting against these two but the dark forces with them as well.

Some was faces he knew and that is why he was even more agitated at fighting them.

At the same time, he knew the faces of these two.

Saphira and the rest have shown him and told him about them before they faced Chester.

These two are none other than the leading figures of the elite squad of Qillian Empire, Raynisha Fiamma and Ardel Alphius.

There hair and eye color are the same black hair and violet eyes, it was only the shape of their faces that didn't change.

With a bit of distraction, a metal ended up piercing through his abdomen causing him to tumble on the ground.

Followed by another metal attack coming from the ground, piercing the different parts of his body.

'Ah seriously is this how my life will end? I was saved from my family but I can't even do anything for our people,' he thought as he watched the attacks directed at him.

'I guess I still am a failure, will I be their enemy after this-'

"ZIAN!!!"

His thoughts was abruptly cut off when he heard those farmiliar voices.

He opened his eyes that he had long closed when he accepted his death and there stood in front of him was the eight of them.

He can barely hear anything nor can he focus his eyes but he can vaguely see the silhouette of two people squatting right in front of him.

One was a lady and another was a man, without having clear vision he knew it was Saphira and Nixon.

Saphira seemed to be instructing Nixon about something, there are others behind them, they are fending off the enemies.

Zian couldn't help but to weakly smile, 'Friends are the best, at least even if I die, I won't end up becoming their enemy. They can stop me before becoming a part of the dark force.'
