Chapter 497 - The Trap

"Wait Father!" Bianca said. She turned to look at Nusgroth. "There are more levels like this beneath. You must find every level and destroy them. You can blast this place for all I care!"

Nusgroth nodded with a grim expression. He hadn't expected that this was going to happen. The only person who could kill her was Bianca and she let go of that opportunity. "You have failed us," he hisses. "You failed all of us!" He looked at her with fury in his eyes. "You have lost all the respect you had in front of the spirits and in front of us. You had one chance—one fat chance to kill her, but you gave into your temptation to get pulled into darkness." He got up. He clenched his fists and pounded on the wall in front of him. "What will be the guarantee that you won't give in again? Why did we depend on you?" He almost lamented. "No one is going to trust you!"

Bianca's guilt couldn't make her so miserable. She remained quiet and walked past him.

When they came back to the surface, Bianca saw how her father and uncle and Lazarus had massacred the Shadows.

"What happened down there? Did you meet Sedora?" asked Lazarus impatiently. "Have you killed her?"

The spirits behind her hissed and howled.

"I couldn't…" she replied with a drag. "I got… distracted."

"What do you mean distracted?" Lazarus grated. "We have been trying hard over here to survive, to protect you and to kill these bloody Shadows, and you are saying that you got… distracted? Is this a bloody game for you?" Lazarus shouted with anger. "Are we fools?"

She remained stoic. "I am going after her…" she whispered. Words were not enough for the guilt that ripped her. The temptation to give into her darkness had crazed her. How could stand a chance against a woman like Sedora, who was such a skilled and dark sorceress, who was pure evil, who was so immortal that nature had to find a way to give birth to someone who would eliminate her. And yet what did she do? She lost that chance.

Daryn created the portal silently. Even he wasn't speaking to her. His reasons were different. For the first time he was scared to the extent that he felt utterly helpless. He was about to lose his daughter to the evil he had pursued for so long. And though he was sad that she lost the chance to kill her, he was proud that she fought the temptation, even if that was at the last minute. It was a close call. "Step in," he said quietly.

Izar hopped inside the portal followed by the other. As soon as Daryn stepped in the spirits followed them like a white sea in ripples. When the last of the spirit crossed the portal, it closed.

Bianca found herself on a plateau from where she could see the ongoing battle between the winged demons and the combined army on the vast grounds outside Zor'gan. It was a sight to behold. It was something Lore witnessed once in a thousand years. It was a battle of wits and strength and against Lore's biggest evil. Metal clanking against metal. The place smelled of magic, copper, blood, wax and burned wood.

The wizards were flying at mind-boggling speed over the winged demons. They were throwing spells and beams of lights could be seen everywhere. The werewolves had attacked the demons along with Lykaes and were taking down and ripping apart their wings, their bodies and slicing their heads off. How come their bane blood wasn't affecting them?

Bianca reeled. So much was going on and she failed. She felt like crying. But Sedora's escape was necessary.

All of a sudden Ileus appeared in front of them. The right side of his forehead was cut and blood was dripping over his eyes. He gave her a withering look. "Mother is going to be there along with Isidorus. If you think she has gone there, then you better hurry up. I will create the portal to Gaira now!" Saying that he looked up at the sky and then chanted a spell. Flames erupted in his palm. He threw the yellow flame in the air and it whooshed into a tiny circle. Slowly the circle increased and when it became two meters wide, he said, "Go!"

As if knowing what to do, Izar hooved the ground and jumped into the portal. Daryn, Caleb and Lazarus's horses jumped right after her. As soon as they did it, Ileus closed the portal, much to the shock of the spirits. "You all will be going to the outskirts of the wizard realm from where Bianca gathered you, and wait for her. If you go to the Land of Gaira, that realm is going to suck you in!" Ileus created a portal for them and they all crawled inside it. When the portal was closed, he returned to the battle.

As soon as Bianca had jumped in the portal she saw that Adrianna and Isidorus were casting spells and throwing magic on Sedora. She was floating above them, cackling like an old witch and dodging their spells or throwing heavier ones at them. She hurled a huge ball of fire towards Bianca. Izar neighed and reared. He jumped away from there.

"You have followed me!" Sedora laughed. "Good! Sadcu te ubiti!"

"Not before I kill you!" Bianca growled. She turned her horse and raised her sword. "I want all of you to clear this place."

"I will remain," said Isidorus gravely.

Everyone else immediately cleared the place.

"Are you so afraid that I will kill them?" Sedora laughed like a mad woman and hurled a beam of white light at her.

Bianca tilted to the right and escaped the beam. Her horse started galloping towards Sedora who was still in the air, floating and conjuring more magic. Taking advantage of the time, Bianca lunged at her with her sword. But her sword was met with another sword that Sedora had immediately plucked from the air. Although her sword broke immediately, Sedora plucked another sword from the air.

"You can't defeat me!" she screamed in a shrill voice and disappeared from there only to appear in front of the hut. "I am going to kill all of you!"

However, Isidorus was ready for her. Before she could cast her spell, Isidorus had hurled a blast of yellow flames towards her. Sedora hurtled in the air and fell to the ground some fifty feet away. He stared at her with his stony gray eyes.

Shocked as hell, Sedora ran to the hut again, but this time Bianca came right in front of her and stopped. "Do you know why I allowed you to come here, Sedora?" she said.

Sedora started to laugh. "You allowed?" her body started shaking with mockery. "You failed Bianca, and you failed miserably. You wanted to fall in the trap." Sedora took a step back again as Bianca moved forward.

"Yes I did. I loved the pull of the darkness, but you know what happened that time? I saw inside your mind, and I knew that you had a plan two, in case I didn't merge with you. That is why I pushed you to the wall, to the mirror. So that you can easily come to Gaira."

Sedora frowned. "Now isn't that stupid?"

"Not in the least!" Bianca lunged forward and attacked her with her sword.
