168 Chapter 168: They Found Emy

“Do it before I completely lose my temper with you,” Reed said.

Cedrick smirked. He was on his knees in front of Emy, the woman he had nearly killed. Cedrick looked at Emy and then smiled.

“She’s your queen? She is going to die.” Cedric said. “Ahhh!”

Reed pulled Cedrick’s hair and used the black smoke to suffocate him.

“Even if you kill me, I’m not going to help that human,” said Cedric.

“Then...” Reed said as he grabbed Cedrick’s jaw and tried to pull it from his head.

“Reed...” Devin said.

“He’s useless.”

“But we need him,” said Devin. “When you kill him, war will begin with...”

.....

“I don’t care. One cut, one life, that is what I swear to my queen. And since my queen’s life is in danger, so is his.” Reed’s voice resounded all around.

Cedrick’s loud voice can also be heard. What Reed is doing seems to be hurting him.

“We still need him to save Emy,” Devin said.

But Reed didn’t listen; instead, he killed Cedrick. Devin was shocked and watched as Cedrick’s entire body caught on fire. Along with Cedrick’s body, the other vampires who came out of the portal were also burned.

“What’re you doing?” Devin said. He was annoyed. “I’ve told you multiple times that we need him.”

“Someone else will save her.”

“Who?” Devin yelled furiously.

Reed took a deep breath and stayed silent. ” If something bad happens to Emy, I will kill you myself, Reed,” Devin growled.

“You can’t kill me, no matter how angry you are with me, Devin. I could even win against you.” Reed said.

“You thought I wouldn’t fight?” Devin asked. “Save Emy. If you don’t, I will, and I will make sure that she never comes back to you.”

Reed didn’t speak. He was waiting for the angel that had helped him before. A few minutes passed, and Devin was freaking out because of what was happening to Emy.

“Reed, what are you waiting for?” Devin was enraged.

Reed still wouldn’t say anything. He waited for the angel to show up, but no one did.

“Emy, Emy...” Devin noticed that Emy wasn’t moving any longer. He immediately patted the girl’s cheek to wake her, but Emy didn’t really wake up. “Please, Emy, wake up. Wake up...”

“I could wake her up.”

Reed and Devin turned when they heard Alex’s voice. He’s with Avery and Jasmine. Reed frowned and walked right up to his son.

“What are you doing here?” Reed asked.

“When the vampires chasing us turned to ashes, Alex insisted on coming here. He said that his mom needed help.” Avery said.

“What happened to Ms. Emily?” Jasmin asked.

“Mama...” Alex dashed toward Emy.

Everyone looked at Alex. Even Devin, who was hugging Emy’s body at the time, looked at him.

“Hi, Uncle Devin,” Alex said with a smile.

“Hello,” Devin said.

“Hi, mom! Would you please wake up? Everyone’s worried.” Alex said while holding Emy’s wound.

Devin was surprised when Emy’s eyes suddenly opened. Her whole body shook, so he had to hold it properly. Reed, Avery, and Jasmin all came to see what had happened.

They didn’t know why Emy’s body was shaking; her eyes were wide open, and her mouth was open. But Devin and Reed can see black smoke coming from Emy’s mouth. They saw it was gone when Alex took his hand off Emy’s wound. Everyone who looked at Alex frowned, and Emy lost consciousness.

“Dad!”

Reed looked at Alex, who was standing in front of him with both hands up like he wanted to be carried. Reed immediately picked up Alex and looked at his son.

“How did you manage to save your mom?” Reed asked.

“Dad...” said Alex.

Reed took a deep breath. He just hugged his son and handed Alex to Jasmin. He went up to Devin and picked Emy up.

When they got back home, Emy was still sound asleep. Alex sat on Reed’s lap while they were watching Emy. Alex was playing with the ball even while he was holding it.

“Dad, are you ready?”

Reed glanced at Alex. “Ready?”

“The demons from the other realm are starting a war, and the former king has no idea how to stop them.”

“W-what?” Reed asked, frowning.

“If you don’t close the portal, Mama will die.”

“What’re you talking about, son?”

“Sir Reed...”

Reed turned toward the door. “Come in.”

The door spits out Avery, Devin, and Jasmin. Avery had a paper, which she immediately gave to Reed. Jasmin took Alex so Reed could see what was drawn on the paper.

“Alex drew that, sir,” said Avery.

The drawing is just a picture from a child’s drawing, but it is surrounded by black and red colors. There is a circle that looks like a portal, and black and red creatures are standing in it. Other black and red creatures are in front of and behind them, surrounded by black and red creatures.

“Is that a portal?” Devin asked. “Do the black and red around the portal protect it from the black and white surrounding it?”

“What does that mean, Sir Reed?” Avery asked.

Reed took a deep breath and then turned to look at Alex. He stared at Alex, making Avery and Devin look at the boy.

“We must go back to the other world, Devin,” Reed said.

Devin turned toward Reed. “Is anything going on in the other world?”

“The war is starting behind us, and we must go back,” Reed said. “Avery, I will need your help to guard the other side of the portal as we go through it. “Kill anyone and anything that comes out.”

Avery glanced at Jasmin and then nodded.

“Can the three soldiers and Avery protect the portal?” Devin asked. “Can they watch over that?”

They were already on the opposite side of the portal, not far from the fighting group. They saw them, and they heard the noise far away.

“That’s why you’re here at the portal to guard it,” Reed said. He turned toward Devin. “If you want to save Emy, don’t let anyone cross.”

Devin scowled. “Where’re you going?”

“I’ll make sure no one gets close to you, and if someone gets past my guard, you know what to do.”

“Are you just going to leave me here alone?”

“Are you afraid?”

“I’m not afraid. I thought demons who wanted to escape the portal wouldn’t just come from the front.”

Reed turned to both sides and then looked at Devin again.

“I’ll find someone else to come with you here...” Reed said. “That’s if there are any of our soldiers left.”

Reed and Devin both turned around and looked in the opposite direction. They could no longer feel any power coming from where his father was.

Reed let out black smoke with his other hand. It surrounded him and went up to the top, where it caught the air and changed the color of the sky.

He had a smile. “Alex...” Then he lifted his feet off the ground as his wings started to come out, and he took off quickly. Devin was looking at him.

‘Is the overwhelming force I felt coming from Reed?’ Devin thought.
