SPELLBOUND

Chapter 365 - Solution

As soon as everyone emerged from the dungeon, the shaking of the earth only became stronger, more frequent, and more violent with the passing of every minute.

Everyone could tell how fierce the battle being fought was underground.

Evie kept her eyes closed, watching the battle through Onyx's eyes. Gav looked like he had fully and thoroughly lost his mind. He was laughing like the ultimate villain who had decided to play with his prey, torture them with his unrivalled power until he was satisfied, before finally delivering the final blow. There did not seem to be even a sliver of Gav's personality that could be seen in him at this moment as Evie watched on. Though her heart ached painfully, and she was incredibly tempted to break down and wail out in mourning of the loss of his soul, she hung on. She believed that he was not truly gone as how he appeared to be on the surface.

The dragons, most especially Onyx were visibly holding back their attacks as well as the amount of power being released when fighting this maddened Gav. And Evie clearly knew that it was only due to her command that they must not harm him which was causing them to be fighting this way. They were neither going all out with their attacks nor were they pulling back to turn and run out. Her one command had put the dragons at the losing end of this fight. Every time the dragons receive a blow and get slammed into the ground or the walls, making everything around them collapse, Evie's heart shiver with worry and fear.

What must she do? She could in no way allow her dragons to go all out and harm him but at the same time, she could also no longer bear watching her precious dragons being harmed by him like this. They were truly the last of the dragons! Nothing should be allowed to harm them. Therefore, she was torn with indecision.

Utterly conflicted, Evie opened her eyes to stop watching the battle through Onyx's eyes. She must quickly think of a solution to her problem as soon as possible! She needed to think of a way to deal with this now before either party hurt the other even more!

But before Evie could even start thinking up with a single idea, another strong quake shook the ground. This one was especially vicious, and it was as though the whole earth was held in the hands of a giant and shaken like a rattle. Everyone who were outside the dungeons were either thrown off balance or even fell over and ended up sitting on the ground. Alarmed at the magnitude of that quake, Evie quickly raised her eyes to scan the area. A whole section of the palace had completely collapsed as though a sink hole had appeared right below it and the dragons then emerged from the abyss one after another.

Onyx was the last dragon to come out as he had trailed behind the rest of the other dragons, bringing up the rear and also acting as the rear guard. The mad Gav seemed hellbent to bring the great dark dragon down. Thus, even after waiting till all the others have emerged, Onyx was still not seen.

Seeing that Onyx was not coming out from the sinkhole, Evie was forced to shut her eyes again to find out on what was happening to him as she shared his vision. Desperately wanting to know what was going on – not only about Onyx, but about Gav as well – her heart was beating so hard from worry. Onyx…

She found the dark dragon as he emerged from a huge pile of rubble. His body now was shrouded with wisps of dark magic. As if trying to escape, Onyx spread out his majestic wings and catapulted himself out from the abyss. But the dragon could not go as far as he was aiming for as something seemed to be holding him back the moment that he reached the surface.

Onyx crashed to the ground. Gav appeared as well, causing those wispy strands of dark magic to thicken around Onyx. And it was then that Evie realized what he was trying to do. Gav was not trying to destroy Onyx. Instead, he was trying to take control of him!

It was obvious as Evie could see Gav seemed to be doing the same thing Thundrann had done before back in the battle in Dacria. And with his current amount of magic, it was apparent that even Onyx was having a hard time to resist its influence, to escape his powerful magic.

"This is bad!" A light fae exclaimed. "He's going to take control of Onyx!"

"Don't worry, Onyx is our queen's dragon. He won't easily succumb just to anyone… no matter how powerful they are." Zanya replied calmly as she stared at Evie who was standing there, watching the battle silently. Her shoulders high and standing strong but her fists were clenched hard as her nails were digging into her palms.

"It won't be easy for just anyone to take control of Onyx. But it would be easy for him to control the other dragons, right?" Zirrus joined in. "If he would divert his attention to the other dragons and control them, that would be worse. He might end up using the young dragons against Onyx!"

Zirrus words made the atmosphere became even more tense and they could only stare at their queen's back, waiting for her actions to guide them on what to do. The vampires were silent and did not say a thing.

"My queen," Zirrus then stepped in and bowed at his queen before he spoke, "I know this will be very hard for you but… I think the only way to deal with such a powerful creature now is… you must trap him inside a crystal now before it's too late."

The light fae's words did not come as a surprise to Evie. She knew they could only think about this as the sole solution to this problem.
