SPELLBOUND

Chapter 624: Power

Evie stretched her hand out towards him, as though she was calling for him to approach her. She could see the colours of his eyes constantly changing between blue and grey, as if both were fighting for dominance – as if both Gavrael and Gavriel were trying to overcome the other.

That gave Evie a spark of hope. It meant that all was not lost. In her vision, Gav’s eyes were not like this. His eyes were a combination of grey and blue, where there were both colours in one iris. If he was still in the process of merging right now, this only meant that the process was not completed yet. She can still stop this! They had not reached the point of hopelessness yet!

This little bit of hope was enough to extinguish the fear and anguish that had risen within her. “Gavriel!” she called out. She chose to call on Gavriel because she wanted his vampire side to come out and suppress his dark fae power. If he could succeed, she was confident that this would at least stop the merging for now! Once he could be stabilised, later they would look for a more permanent solution to this issue.

“Gavriel! I’m here! You can see me, right?” Evie did not stop approaching him, even as she felt the sheer power of his darkness overwhelming and pressing on her entire being.

The dark magic swirling about him was suffocating, mind numbing and spine-tingling. This kind of power was enough to kill an average dark fae if they were being touched by just one of these wisps of thick and ominous smoke.

“Gavriel…” her voice faltered a little when recognition did not seem to spark in his eyes. She was only five steps away from him now. It was getting physically harder for her to approach him. The powerful wisps of smoke were stopping her from getting nearer to him.

“Gavriel! It’s me! Evie! Your wife! Please, listen to me!” she screamed, hoping that he would somehow be able to hear her.

But that too, was futile. Before she could take another step forward, he was gone from her sight. She felt the strong magic brushing past her.

He avoided her! This meant…

She whipped around and saw him attacking Klauz.

Only one strike and Klauz was flung back like a ragdoll. Gav was just too powerful!

But even in the face of such absolute and overwhelming power, Klauz did not back off after he struggled to get up from that one mighty attack.

In Gav’s third attack, Klauz unleashed his own powers and the shadows gathered around him, forming a protective shield.

Darkness against shadows collided once again. This time, even though Gav managed to shatter Klauz’s shield, Klauz still managed to dodge. He was more alert and ready to accept the impact of Gav’s attack after being hit by it a few times already.

Evie could only watch from the side lines as two powerful creatures clashed and go head-to-head with each other. She could not even intervene even if she wanted to. The fight was just too ferocious that her jumping in their midst right now would be downright suicidal. Klauz was still managing to hold on, but if this continued, Gav was definitely going to kill him for sure!

She hated Klauz right now, hated him to her bones. But she did not want him dead. She needed to consider the bigger picture and still take that into account. This was still the Klauz that she saw in her vision of the future. This was still the man who had fought alongside her future self, clearing the path for her with all his might, as though he was prepared to die as long as he could protect her. Because of this memory form her vision, she would want to keep the hope that somehow, the current Klauz would be able to change into that powerful ally that she had seen.

Even right now, Klauz was already very strong. She could tell that he might be on par with Galleous, even though he was not even a royal dark fae. That showed how promising his talent was. She could not afford to lose this talent as her ally if possible.

However, compared to Gav in his current state, his tremendous strength was far from enough.

Klauz failed to dodge a hit and another and another. Gav went at him mercilessly.

Then Evie saw Gav created a sword made of pure dark magic. It was as though one of those living wisp of smoke had transformed itself into a powerful weapon. He… Gav was going to kill him!

The ground trembled when Klauz fell. The impact was so strong it created a deep depression in the ground where he landed.

Evie saw Gav pointed his black sword downwards. She didn’t know why but she had a horrific feeling that if she won’t intervene now, she’s going to regret it.

Her heart shuddered and in the next moment, she flew towards Klauz as fast as she could and immediately erected a powerful dome barrier that protected both Klauz and herself behind it.

Gav’s sword clashed against her barrier. Darkness now clashed against the power of light.

“Gav! Gavrael!!! Please! Stop!” she screamed at him, looking at him through her thick barrier. Still, he could not seem to hear her at all. His face was focussed and trained on the person on the ground behind her.

Despair gripped her heart when he exerted powers against hers. He was trying to break through her barrier. “Gavriel!” she could only scream his name as she fought against him… pouring in more power into her shield to strengthen it.

But her shield still cracked. Initially there were only small cracks. But as he increased the pressure, those cracks only got larger and wider.

And she felt her heart cracking at the same time. No… this cannot be happening…

Once again, Evie screamed his name – this time with all the breath that she had in her – as she was finally forced to use an offensive attack this time. Powerful beams of lights shone forth from her palms and clashed against his dark sword that had just pierced through her barrier.

Never in a million years did she ever imagine a scene like this… where the two of them would go up against each other in such a desperate battle. Why? Why did this have to happen to them? Why?!!
