"No!" Eli stepped back but her body was too injured to run away.
Emperor Razak already knew what Pope Ramir would do so he also charged at Eli and appeared from behind.
He stretched out his hand, held Eli's chin from the back fiercely, and her hands secured through with his strong arms.
Eli panicked and tried to move by using her weight to resist Emperor Razak's tight grip.
"Urggh!" She moved her elbows and stomped her feet but to no avail.
Pope Ramir was already approaching fast and once his hand touched her Little Han would be exposed.
"You will not touch my sister!!" Kaden exhausted the remaining bit of his mana and conjured a strong wind blade attack to stop Pope Ramir.
Gabriel, Abaddon, and the rest also moved. With Eli's panicked reaction, they knew that they could not allow Pope Ramir to read her mind.
And so those who had the strength to send an attack from their position simultaneously launched their spells in an attempt to delay Pope Ramir and to buy time for Eli to escape on Emperor Razak's clutches.
The bloodied Baobao and weakened Wisey also rushed to separate Emperor Razak from Eli. "Master!"
"Not a chance!" Emperor Razak smiled and immediately released a strong lighting attack on Eli, Baobao, and Wisey.
"AAAAAhr!!!" Eli's body burns as it twitches violently from the electrocution of Emperor Razak!
Baobao was also severely injured; his originally pure white fur was filled with wounds and blood. He lay on the ground with his face on the ground, along with Wisey. Who's ethereal body becomes more transparent.
"No!" Kayden was in tears when he saw Eli burned by lightning. As a doctor, he knew how painful it could be.
To see visibly how her originally fair skin burned to bloody brown, Kayden could not help but clench his fist and crawl to the ground and beg, "Stop… please stop…I beg you please…"
But Emperor Razak only smiled. As if he was enjoying the suffering of ELi and the begging of the enemies, he did not stop electrocuting Eli's body.
Kayden's begging and the people's desperation gave him so much pleasure especially when he knew that these people were on the same side as those who had killed his son, Crown Prince Ranon.
That time he could only stand on the Vanderford castle, helpless and powerless to do anything to save his son from the clutches of Leon's attack.
Now, isn't the situation the same as what he had experienced before? Not only that, but the person in his hands was also someone whom his son's murderer deemed as his future wife.
'If I kill her fiance right now, would that make the Mad Blood Third Prince crazy in despair? Heh…' Emperor Razak was lost in his own thoughts as he continued torturing Eli.
In truth, it was not that he deeply loved his son, after all, he had many sons and daughters whom he could choose as heirs.
It is a matter of his pride. He personally chose Ranon and groomed him to be the most precious son of his lineage. He did not spare as much effort as the others, but he did on Ranon's end.
That is because he was hoping that he could immortalize his lineage by having him as the vessel of Lord Raven.
If he was chosen as a vessel, then the Vanderford would stand at the top of Prasinos forever. But if he did not (because of Rachana) he would still be the most suitable heir for the throne.
Now that he just died so untimely like that, all of his lifetime's effort was gone so easily. So, why can he not express his grievance through this chance as well?
Pope Ramir saw that Emperor Razak was becoming more and more immersed in torturing Eli and so he immediately caught his attention and said, "Emperor, you must hold back a little, we still need her alive. Whatever you do, you must not let her precious life and body become totally worthless…"
Emperor Razak's bloodthirsty eyes flickered. He frowned and showed an unwilling face before he finally stopped his torture.
Only then did he realize that Eli's body was already limp and her eyes had already turned white as she was unconscious.
"Tsk.." He scoffed in disdain as he threw Eli's limp body in the ground and it landed exactly in front of Pope Ramir.
"Do what you have to do!" When his source of pleasure was suddenly interrupted, he could no longer bother to entertain Pope Ramir and immediately walked out, picking one of the soldiers from the enemy's side to start torturing him.
Pope Ramir could only shake his head. But still, he bent down and stretched out his hand to read Eli's mind. "Let me look into your mind and see everything in it!"
He looked at Eli's defenseless body with an excited smile.

Back in Dragon Island, Elifas and Calderon were playing with Little Han when the latter suddenly stopped.
The image of Baobab and Wisey falling to the ground, injured and helpless, flashed in his mind.
Then from Baobao's red blurry vision, Little Han saw his mother being tortured so violently.
Plop!
Little Han's wooden sword fell to the ground and everyone became silent. They were on the training grounds as Little Han was fond of playing with wooden swords. Lots of dragon folks watched as the adorable two-year-old played with swords with such a cuddly body.
"What's wrong? Is the sword too heavy?" Elifas looked back as he was choosing a suitable wooden sword for himself when he heard Little Han dropping his wooden sword.
"Ngnnnn…" Little Hand stretched his two chubby hands and held his head with pain in his face. Then his body suddenly rolled on the ground as if he was enduring so much. "Uwaaaaaah!!!"
Everyone was caught off-guard by him and was immediately thrown into panic.
Calderon ran to their side and carried Little Han checking if he was injured, "What's the wrong little one? Are you in pain?"
But Little Han only squirmed while holding his head and let out heartbreaking groans and cries.
"Elifas, call mother and the Grandmas immediately! Someone call the doctor!" Calderon took Little Han's body and tried to comfort him as much as he could.
He knew that they could not handle the situation with them alone so he immediately instructed Elifas to call the elders and the others to call the doctor.
"Boohoo!! Boohoo!" Little Han cried harder as he saw how her mother was tortured by Baobao's perspective. He could even hear Kayden's desperate begging in his vision.
"Mommi!!! Mommi!!! Noooooo!!!" He cried as his eyes were already red in so much tears and pain.
Fortunately, Calderon was holding his body really well, or else Little Han would surely roll out of his embrace because of how he violently moved by calling out his mother.
Calderon was immediately in a panic when he heard Little Han's cries he had a guess that Little Han was either seeing a premonition or he was seeing something bad about his mother.
He and the rest knew that Little Han was also half a contractor of Baobao and Wisey because they were contracted at the time Eli was carrying him in her womb. That is why he somehow deduced that Little Han might sense that not only Baobao and Wisey are in danger, but his mother as well.
Calderon looked around and saw a warrior standing on guard for them. He called him and immediately ordered, "Contact Grandpa at once, tell him that something might have happened in the Holy Island, they have to immediately check the situation… or else…"
The warrior immediately changed his expression and his voice turned solemn, "Understood, young master!" Then he rushed to the office to find a way to communicate with Grandpa Fafnir, who was in the headquarters along with the other leaders.
Not long after Sessha, Grandpa Brygid, and the rest arrive. Their hearts ached to see the little adorable child holding his head in pain while curling his body in agony.
Tears did not stop flowing down his face and his throat was already hoarse when he suddenly called out, "Daddi! Daddi! Save Mommi! Save Mommi pleeze!"
–
In the fortress on the Gorge Region of the Desolate Wastelands, there was a certain recovery room whose door was heavily guarded.
"How many days has it been since His Highness Third Prince was in a deep sleep?" The Blades guarding the door sighed worriedly.
The war was still at its peak and suddenly they heard about the terrifying face-off between the men on the holy island and the large army of the Vanderford Empire.
But before the other Blade could react, the door of the recovery room was swung open.
Leon's pale figure appeared as his eyes were filled with a great sense of panic and danger.
"Your Highness!" The Blades immediately bowed and greeted him.
However, Leon did not notice their surprised faces and immediately mumbled, "Zenith!"
At his words, a portal of the spatial dimension opened and Leon stepped in without hesitation!
