Viktor was surprised by the sudden turn of events since he didn't expect Seraphina to be someone who knew how to escape from such a tight situation. Of course, he knew she was powerful enough to do it but not experienced enough to do it.
He became worried for her seeing so many people up in the sky, trying to hunt her. He tapped the bracelet on his wrist, hoping that she would receive it, but he wasn't sure since the bracelet wouldn't work if the other person was too far away.
He also realized that he fucked up Yanah's plan to kill Ara and thought that it would be best if she never saw him again lest she tries to chew his head off for messing up her plan.
But Viktor really couldn't afford to worry about Yanah and decided to keep moving while tapping his bracelet, hoping that he could find Seraphina.
However, right when he was about to turn around, he bumped into a soft body,
"Ah!"
"Sera?!" Viktor immediately recognized the woman in front of him, especially because of her oversized breasts even though she was wearing a cloak.
"A-Azu? What are you still doing here? Why didn't you leave??" Seraphina frantically asked, feeling happy yet sad at the same time. She was happy that he was safe and she was not alone but sad to know that her realm was still in danger.
Viktor could feel the pain and despair in her voice, making him feel guilty. But he cupped her face as he said apologetically, "I am sorry, Sera, but...There is no Sacred Spirit Realm without you, nor can I leave you alone here. You can get angry at me all you want, but--"
"I am glad you are alright...I was so worried that you might have gotten caught when they announced the lockdown. A-Also I...I am not angry at you...I can never be..." Seraphina said with a pure soft smile as she suddenly hugged him with watery eyes.
"Sera..." Viktor really couldn't understand how she could still manage to not feel even a hint of disappointment for not doing what she wanted him to do.
He hugged her back as he said in a relieved voice, "I am also glad that you got out safely. I am sorry I messed up the plan. If only I was more--"
"Please don't blame yourself," Seraphina said with a soft shake of her head as she gently placed her hand on his lips and continued, "I would have never seen the Fruit of the Blessed One again if not for you. Ah...I am sorry," Seraphina realized that she was hugging him too closely and stepped back with a red face, though she was trying to hide her worries and fears to not worry him.
Viktor gave a comforting smile as he said, "It's fine. Let's just lay low till Mevron has no choice but to pull up the lockdown. After that, we will--"
"There they are! Get them!"
Viktor raised his eyebrows when he heard a shout from far up in the sky and turned his head around, only to be surprised to see dozens of men riding wild flying beasts while pointing their fingers at him and Sera.
"Shit! Let's go!" Viktor lifted Seraphina into his arms as he sprinted off, his speed leaving behind only a blur.
"How did they find us??" Viktor asked as Seraphina said with a guilt-ridden tone, "They must have tracked my odic aura when I used my powers to escape. They must have a lot of experts specializing in tracking."
"Damn...I am taking us to the Blackmere Forest. We can lose them if we get into a forest like that," Viktor said, considering the forest as a last resort to escape. The sun would soon set, and he would even have an edge in the darkness.
And once he sees a window of opportunity, Seraphina can summon the portal to portal them back to her realm.
Orgaz, who was flying up in the skies, was the first to reach this area upon receiving the report from his men that they spotted the culprits.
But when he saw the two, especially Azu, who was running at an inhumane speed, his brows pulled together while sensing the odic aura left behind by him, 'A vampire? What is a vampire doing with the Fairy Queen?' Orgaz was puzzled since he couldn't find a reason for any of the vampire covens or even the royal vampires to get involved with the Fairy Queen. None of them could even enter the Sacred Spirit Realm anyway.
Even if it was the Fairy Queen who sought out this vampire, why did she do it?
Seraphina understood what Viktor might be planning and said, "But they have a barrier covering the border. We can't get into the forest without--"
"You can force a way through using your powers, right?" Viktor asked while keeping an eye on the men chasing them from up in the sky. He frowned, seeing that those wild beasts were faster than he expected.
But what made him feel worried was the middle-aged man flying on his own, whose speed was like a jet. He didn't even know somebody could fly that fast. It was only a matter of time before he caught up.
Seraphina nodded with a determined gaze as she said, "Then let me help us get there."
As she said this, ethereal silver wings emerged from her back as the cloak fell off, revealing her sparkling silver gown.
Her long hair turned into its original glowing golden color while a blindfold wrapped across her eyes.
Viktor was astonished upon feeling his body being lifted into the air as Seraphina switched her position and was now holding his hand as the two of them took to the skies.
Orgaz frowned, seeing that the Fairy Queen had finally revealed herself completely while using her powers to escape, "President, they are heading for the Blackmere Forest!"
Mevron, who stepped out of the guild building, looked in the direction of the Blackmere Forest as he mumbled with his eyes starting to glow a radiant blue, "I will get them myself."
