SPELLBOUND

Chapter 356 - Chance

Evie's eyes flared open in shock at Galleous' words. She stared at Gav and when she saw him just staring back at her with eyes so intense, Evie's heart shuddered. The fear inside had grown even stronger, to the point that it is almost overwhelming her entire being. No, she must not let this happen! She came here all for the singular reason in helping him win this war. She wanted to fight with him so he would not let himself be consumed by his darkness! If he does this, then all their efforts would be for naught. This cannot be allowed to happen!

"No… Gav…" Evie's voice came out shaky and weak as she shook her head. She could see it in Gav's eyes, that he had contemplated on it and was going to do it.

"Fine, I will do what you want." Gav said to Galleous, while his eyes remained fixed on Evie. "But on one condition… get your darkness off her and let her go."

"Gav!" Evie exclaimed, shaking now.

"Sure, Gavrael." Galleous answered. It shocked Evie how fast he seemed to agree with Gav's condition. It even looked as though he could not wait to get rid of her.

"Wait! Gav! He must be bluffing!" panic started to flood through Evie. "I can't leave –"

"Evie!" Gav's voice thundered. However, it was not said in an angry tone, but it was loud like he was trying to wake her up from a nightmare. "Now is the time for you fulfil that promise you've made to me a while ago. Listen to me and go… please…"

For a few moments Evie found herself not able to breathe at all. After choking for a couple seconds, she finally managed to regulate her breathing again. She was letting out hard gasps as panic surged through her. How could he use that promise in this situation?

"I'll be alright." Gav added, his gaze pleading. He looked as though he would even fall to his knees and kneel just to urge her to go.

"Young queen, you should know how unwise it is for you to keep delaying while I'm still playing nice. Or do you not mind me killing the child inside your womb?" He was smiling as he said that. "I am not a very patient person, woman." His voice turned threatening at the end.

"Go!" Gav commanded, his jaws hardening. "Now!"

At the sight of the dark magic starting to dance around her, and after seeing that heart wrenching look in Gav's eyes, Evie could only force her feet to move.

She clenched her fists tight, moving slowly towards the barrier. The dark magic around her was still hovering over her torso.

The moment she reached the barrier, she looked over her shoulder and stared at Gav. Her eyes no longer filled with fear, it was filled with promise, as if telling him to hold on. And then her eyes became pleading as well, pleading him not to give in to his darkness and to wait for her, because she would definitely return.

He nodded at her, a slight smile curving across his mouth, as if he had understood everything that she wanted to convey to him. Did he really understand her looks?

Evie could only faithfully believe he did and that was why he had nodded and smiled like that at her. Then finally, she took the last step to bring herself across the barrier, the dark smoke seemingly filtered out automatically as though that dark magic could not leave the barrier along with her.

Upon seeing that the dark magic did not follow Evie outside of the barrier, Gavrael let out the breath he had been holding in relief. After releasing a heavy sigh, his eyes then flared before something dark pulsated in his eyes and dark magic surged from within him. He had created an even thicker barrier now. What he did was to erect a protection barrier that Evie could never break to get in. Knowing her, she would get out and brainstorm and come out with an idea before rushing back in here to help him. That was why he had to take this precautionary step. But right at that moment he used his dark magic, Thundrann's body fell to the ground, seemingly lifeless, and the darkness from him quickly seeped into Gavrael's body.

"Hahaha. That's it Gavrael, use your magic! Let it consume you! Take me in!" The voice had left Thundrann's body. The dark magic coming from the crystal now was currently directed towards Gavrael and he was absorbing them all.

That was the moment Galleous was waiting for. For Gavrael to use his pure dark magic without any reservation, without any other impurities involved like the light magic from that powerful young queen. This way he would easily help Gav's darkness win over himself. Galleous had truly underestimated him and that light fae queen. Had he known how extremely powerful they were, he should have done this right from the start, way before that queen's arrival.

If he had not found that particular weakness and if the two did not actually care, he would be done for! And also, if this man did not care that much about his woman, he would not actually unleash his dark magic to keep her out, he must have still failed!

Not letting this precious chance slip away, Galleous unleashed as much darkness he could on Gavrael. The miasma that was crawling on the ground all slithered towards him, entering his body, as though a swarm of wasps rushing into their nest.

Gavrael fell on his knees and his eyes now pulsating from blue to black, alternating as he grabbed onto the clothes over his chest.

"Give in Gavrael!!!" the voice echoed. "Let me take over!!!" the sinister voice continued and Gavrael screamed out, he spread out his arms and threw his head back as he knelt on the ground as his body kept on pulling in, devouring the endless dark magic from the ancient crystal.

"You're the one who should give in Galleous!!!" Gav's voice was like thunder in hell. "Give in to me!! I will take over all your dark magic, your darkness!!! Everything!! Since you are so willing to give up your powers, I will accept it! I will devour everything you have until there is nothing left but your skin and bones!!!"
