Chapter 278 Stay Calm

?Vieva looked at the arrow in the lady's hand and a frown appeared on her face. "Ravina! You should go back! Did you forget the deal between Dragons and us witches?" She asked.

Ravina listened to her and a disdainful expression appeared on her face. She then snorted. "Deal? What a Joke! You stole our Singularity Ruby! The deal is invalid now." The arrow levitated from her hand and came in front of her, ready to attack Vieva at any moment.

"Singularity Ruby?" Vieva took in a deep breath to maintain her composure. "I don't know what you are talking about! I didn't steal anything." She snorted.

A murderous gleam flashed in Ravina's eyes. "You think I am a fool? Other dragons might be, but you can't trick me with your words."

"I am telling the truth. I don't know who took your ruby, but it wasn't me." She said. She was lying to Ravina about it, she knew that Jack was the one who had stolen the ruby from the dragons, however, she couldn't reveal the fact.

"So you were coincidentally at the same place at the same time when the ruby was stolen! And you even killed Idros!" Ravina said and her eyes flashed blue.

She looked at Vieva with anger flashing in her eyes.

Vieva listened to her and gritted her teeth. 'She is too strong for me, we have to escape!' She thought and looked around to form a strategy.

"Ha... Don't even try. Today is the day you die." Ravina said and pushed the arrow forward.

Vieva felt the blue arrow coming towards her and gritted her teeth. 'It's so fast, it's almost impossible to dodge!' She thought and one of her hair quickly moved to block the incoming arrow while she moved sideways.

Ravina looked at her trying to dodge and chuckled. "It's useless, you don't have enough speed to dodge my Dragon Breath's arrow," she said with a disdainful tone.

Vieva on the other hand was in a tough situation.

"Ah.." She grunted and barely dodged the arrow with the help of her hair, however even then the arrow left a blood mark on her waist.

Ravina saw her successfully dodging the arrow and raised her brows. "You are better than I expected. However, you won't be able to dodge..."

Before she could complete her sentence her eyes suddenly widened and she felt a deep terror.

Goosebumps rose on her body and she quickly moved sideways.

"Agh!" Blood suddenly flew out of her mouth and her body landed on the sand creating a deep crater.

Vieva saw Ravina getting injured and a surprised expression appeared on her face. Her eyes moved and she looked at Jack.

He was standing tens of meters away with his hand pointing in the direction of where Ravina just was.

There were horns on his head, which meant that he had just used the death ring to boost his power and attack Ravina, and he successfully managed to attack her and injure her.

'I won't be able to do it again.' He thought and sighed.

He was able to aim the first time was because she dropped her guard against him, but next time will not be the same.

She was the number two dragon, a lot stronger than Idros and she also specialized in speed, so it wouldn't be easy to attack her again.

"Vieva let's go! Before she wakes up again!" Jack yelled and woke her out of her stupor.

Jack knew that Ravina was a dangerous girl and it would be better for them to retreat for now and attack with a good plan later.

Jack was sure that they would not be able to defeat her without a good plan.

He has seen it with his eyes, how she was overpowering Vieva with such ease.

And he also had a hard time trying to find the green panel even when she was unguarded, so he was sure that now that she was on guard it would be impossible for him to attack her again. She was just too fast for him.

Vieva disappeared from her place and appeared near him, she then quickly started reciting the teleportation spell.

Feba and Faneel stood at their places silently with their heads down and sweat covering their whole body.

The high-held sun in the desert shone piercing rays on their bodies and a strange silence covered the whole place.

Small sand particles flew around in the air as an even more warm magic circle appeared below their legs.

Jack was looking straight at the crater where Ravina was, his heart was beating at an audible pace and his eyes were narrowed.

His senses were on high alert and the strange silence of the desert made him even more nervous.

Sweat trickled down his nose and he could see Vieva in his periphery busy casting the teleportation spell.

He could feel his body getting blurry because of the teleportation portal. By now he was used to it as he had teleported so many times.

Feba and Faneel were a bit nervous when they felt their bodies getting light, they could feel the blood moving through their veins and it was a whole new experience for them.

"Stay calm." Suddenly Jack's deep voice buzzed in their ears and like an ocean wave, it calmed their raging mind down.

They stayed silent and prepared themselves to be teleported. They have felt somewhat the same feeling back when they were going through the portal of the other dimension.

Although the effect of the portal was a bit different, the factor of strangeness was still the same so it didn't take time for them to accommodate.

Just when they were about to vanish, Jack took in a deep breath and let out a relaxed sigh. He was worried that Ravina would wake up again and attack them.

'Looks like my attack was stronger than I expected.' He thought and soon enough the red rays covered his vision and in the next second he was in Vieva's mansion where Nicole and others were.

This was a safe place as Nicole was here. The dragons wouldn't dare to attack them here, since the Queen of Darkness was here.

They were scared of her.

"That was close. We could have died there." Faneel said and she kneeled down on the floor. His nerves relaxed only when he felt that he was in a safer place.

"Jack, who was that blue-haired girl?" Feba asked with a frown on her face as she looked Jack in the eyes. She was worried for him.

She wanted to know what sort of trouble Jack was in.

"She was a dragon." Vieva looked at her and then her body moved toward the sofa sets.

Soon she sat down on the sofa and a bottle of whisky appeared in her hand. "I think we should relax for now." She murmured and drank straight from the bottle.

Jack looked at Vieva and then looked at the bottle in her hand. He stayed silent.

Feba listened to her and looked at Jack again. "Jack, is she telling the truth, does dragons really exist?" She placed a hand on his chest.

Faneel's ears also perked up and he looked at Jack with a curious gaze while sitting on the floor.

Jack took in a deep breath and looked Feba deep in the eyes. Placing a hand over her shoulder he nodded. "Yes, they exist and they are after us. You will have to stay here till this is all solved up."

Feba listened to him and gulped her saliva. She took in a deep breath and looked at Faneel. "We should stay here for the time being."

She wanted to ask more questions from Jack, however, she knew that the situation was critical and her questions wouldn't help him.

"What? No! I am not staying here." Faneel said and quickly stood up.

Jack, Vieva and Feba looked at him with their brows furrowed. "Why?" Feba stepped towards him and looked him straight in the eyes.

Faneel saw her serious expression and took a step back, as if afraid that Feba might explode anytime.

Gulping his saliva he gritted his teeth and glanced back at Vieva on the sofa. "I don't wanna stay here. And those dragons are not after me but you guys. I have no connection with Jack." He said, his every word getting louder than before as he spoke.

Jack listened to him and stayed silent, he didn't wanna force anyone if they wanna go.

"Faneel?" Feba widened her eyes in anger.

Faneel gulped his saliva again and stepped back one more step, sweat formed on his forehead again and he took in a deep breath trying to calm himself down.

"Boss, don't stop me. This mission was also a big break for me. I could have gotten free form this dangerous life after this. I want to go back and claim the mission rewards. And if you don't wanna come then it's ok." He said and looked down.

"And I think it's more dangerous here as this is the place that is most likely to be attacked by those dragons." Faneel said again.
