Chapter 219

"Aawwwoooo!"

Klein called his wolves to defend the place, they were strong enough to face the Counts, and if a Duke appeared, they could teamwork to eliminate them. He grabbed a sword out of his Inventories and raised it, some Methuselahs leaped at him. Klein slashed the enemies, cutting them into two as his suit getting tainted by their blood.

"I will keep them away."

He convinced the women, Kitsune gave him a flying kiss and returned to her sight on the rift. The eyes were doing their job to close the rift but it was not enough, it would take 10 to 15 hours to close it. However, now that Kitsune was here she could fasten the process. Her power could close the rift together with the help of the eyes.

"It's a mystery why the Protector is not closing this rift, with her power, she could close this immediately… In fact, I can't even feel her presence… perhaps she's facing a bigger problem…"

Kitsune narrowed her eyes and began thinking, her judgment was close to the real answer. The Protector who has the voice of a little girl was busy with the Queen, she had an appointment with Lilith and their discussion was not finished. Lilith is a god, a more powerful creature than the Bone Dragon Fafnir. She joined the battle against the gods millenniums ago, she was the progenitor of the Succubus and Methuselahs.

"… I guess I have to do this with the help of these creepy eyes."

The Nine Tails glanced at the two glowing balls of flesh, even one this thing could render her useless. She was shocked to know that there was actually an Item like this that could deactivate her power. Some of her inner thoughts were telling her that she must destroy this dangerous Item, these two eyes could kill her. However, after a few seconds of deliberation, she decided to postpone it and perhaps use it instead. Even to a Legendary Creature like her, Merlin's power was tempting.

"First, let's close this."

She lifted her head and cast her sight at the rift, the slowly shrinking portal was still pouring enemies, some of these enemies were coming towards them and landed on the tree. Lane swept them with her vines and Klein was there to keep them away from the eyes and Kitsune. He understood that Kitsune needed tremendous concentration to close the rift.

"Last time the Protector helped me, but this, it's all on me, huh."

She shrugged, her body elevated and she extended her hands towards the rift. The air around them freeze, the pressure made a turbulent shaking. Even the Methuselahs felt the changes in the atmosphere. The fog down the tree started to dissipate, the pressure led the fog to evaporate. The tree became visible in the ground which caused more Methuselahs to climb and reached the top.

However, despite the incoming enemies, Kitsune and the others didn't feel any tension. They already experienced many battles, this one was still within their grasp. No matter how much Methuselahs came at them, they could fend them. Lane and Klein had smooth teamwork, sweeping the enemies with ease. Their movements were correlated, making the battle manageable. Through the movement of each other, they understood what do to next. Such as when vines grabbed someone, Klein would approach and cut the head.

It was fortunate that Kitsune was so focused and couldn't turn her head at them. If not, she would surely cause a ruckus with her tails standing.

The spreading pressure started to move, they gathered at one point, the rift. The force rapidly rushed and burden the closing rift, Kitsune crumpled her hands, gesturing the force to dwindle the rift. The Methuselahs who were coming out of the rift screamed as they realized that their bodies were crushed by a powerful imperceptible force. They descended on the ground with their bodies cripple. Kitsune huffed and put more pressure, together with the glowing eyes, she started squeezing the rift to make it smaller.

"Hhaaaa…"

Layers of sweats covered her face, the rift was a gate that was connecting the two worlds, it was no easy task to close it. The pressure of the other world and Earth was converging, making the rift hard to close. Furthermore, Methuselahs kept exiting the rift which made it harder.

………

……

…

"I'm not exactly sure, but I saw the Princess helping Mikael. She gave him a potion…"

These were the words that Miriam said, although she hid crucial info, Miriam didn't say that Princess Belle kissed Mikael! She didn't want to infuriate Niña, if another rival showed, blood would surely shed. Miriam understood that the two women around Mikael had loose screws in their heads and she didn't want any of their shit!

"Although, I am curious why she did that … Based on what I know, the Princess is always in her kingdom and this is the only time she went to another country. What is the reason why she saved him, even going for a kiss to ensure that he will drink it? "

Miriam was confused about the Princess's behavior. For her, Princess Belle was a mediocre woman, she didn't join in politics and left the management to the Elders, all she did was stay in her room, Miriam knew it since she always monitored the Elves in case they made a move to kill Niña. She always saw that Princess Belle was always in her room, reading books.

"She's not hiding something right, I mean she didn't make herself a mediocre to fool me, right?"

Miriam thought and trashed the idea, Princess Belle didn't have the capability to deceive her, she was a mild woman that always stayed in her room.

"… If she really acts that way just to deceive me and the other Hunters, then she's a frightening woman."

Miriam concluded, as a person who could see the other side of the world, she had the job to monitor the prominent and dangerous people in the world. Even the horrible hobbies of Ivan Smirnov to the leveling addiction of Jake Raynold, Miriam knew all of it. She reported any malicious and ill intent that could possibly destroy the Earth, that was her job as Miriam of The Eye. As of now, only three persons could hide against her satellite vision, Niña, Delorio, and Kim Soo-Woon.

"To deceive me and make me think that she is a mediocre woman… Princess Belle is not to be trifle with."

Tensions sent a signal and made her shivered, the thought of deceiving her successfully sent shivers down her spine.

"Let's hope that it is not true, if the Princess really hid her fangs and only show it this time, then she is formidable. How could she create this arrangement and protect the Hunters from the Manticore using the fog, and even helping Mikael with the utmost precision?"
