The Royal Mark-Chapter 148: Lash Out

"Nile, Gaia, go with the girls, make sure it’s the same plant in Novus," Elsa ordered. The four nodded and went their way.

"Arla, Baahu, make a cage for these rebels. Kaizer, Dasher stay on guard," Elsa commanded before facing the rebel werewolves. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"You will all stay and behave unless you want to burn to death. I am still full of rage and I could really use a volunteer right now. Where are the soldiers who are with the prince?" Elsa asked the rebels.

No one dared to answer, everyone kept their gaze on the ground. They can feel the anger of Elsa and they are trembling in fear.

"No one wants to answer? Did you all lose your tongue?!" When everyone still kept silent, Elsa grabbed one female werewolf, a young one, who could be in her late teens or early twenties, and dragged her to the ground.

She is just so angry that she doesn’t know how to control it. She can feel Nuri’s wrath deep within her and at the back of her mind she wants to lash out her anger to these rebels.

She lifted her right hand and a fireball slowly formed in it. She grabbed the woman’s hair and pulled it backwards making her look up to her.

"You! Speak now or I will burn your face down to your skull!" Elsa’s eyes were starting to become bright.

"Princess, calm down please!" Arla shouted from afar while building the cages for their captives.

Elsa didn’t even acknowledge her and just kept her stare at the young werewolf. And when the she-wolf still didn’t speak, she made the fireball in her hand bigger before firing it at the group of demons that Kaizer was guarding. Three demons instantly died on the spot causing everyone to gasp in surprise, including her mages.

The she-wolf extended her quivering arm for Elsa to see. Elsa rolled her eyes and sighed after seeing the purple mark on the woman’s arm, an indication that she had been implanted by the magical worm that put a curse on her.

"Of course, all of you were cursed. That’s what you get when you ally with that impostor king of yours!" Elsa uttered in disgust.

[Language young lady. Control Nuri, or Ember since she is back inside you. Don’t let her outrage affect you.] Ciel said.

’It is not that easy Ciel, she is part of me, the part that I have not been with for twelve years!’ Elsa talked back.

Elsa turned back to the she-wolf and asked, "If I dispel your curse, all of your curses will you all talk?"

No one spoke which made Elsa confused. The she-wolf definitely wanted her help but she is not answering her question.

’Ciel, what is going on? Don’t they want to be freed from the witches’ curses and demon’s dark magic?’

[She must be afraid of something or someone, I can smell her fear.]

Elsa looked around but everyone had their heads lowered looking at the ground, avoiding her gaze. She then touched the woman’s arm, right above her purple mark. She used her divine power and cast a spell, "Avertat damnum."

She and the she-wolf watched a purple worm-like smoke emerge from the arm of the woman and flew toward the group of witches that Dasher was guarding. It hit a young lady witch without her knowing since she was looking on the ground. In a few seconds, the same witch screamed in pain and it made Elsa grin.

"Gotcha!" Elsa walked over to the witch wincing in pain and grabbed her by the hair. She dragged her away from the other witches and used both hands to create a huge ball of fire, in preparation for her pyroblast.

"No, no, no!" Rylie shrieked while still healing the rebel alpha but it didn’t stop Elsa from obliterating the young witch only leaving her ashes on the ground.

"YOU BITCH!!!" An old witch shouted.

Elsa quickly shielded herself with divine protection, "Divinum pre sidium!"

The old witch spell did not affect Elsa at all so she tried another spell, they heard a young male werewolf whimper as he fell to the ground.

"Ah! So the worms were implanted by different witches and not just by one... I see... She must be the mother of the one I killed," Elsa barked before shooting fireballs at all the witches on site.

Dasher held his head with both hands in frustration and shock while watching the witches run around like confused ants before dropping to the ground one by one as they meet their deaths. "Why did you do that?" he asked Elsa.

"Because they are hindering the werewolves from talking..." She then rolled her eyes and went back to the she-wolf to dispel her curse. After dispelling it, using her healing magic, she slowly suck out the worm that was already near the woman’s heart.

As soon as the worm was out, the she-wolf kneeled in front of Elsa lowered her upper body and head down to the ground, and pleaded, "Please forgive me, forgive us, Your Highness. We had no choice. Everyone in Arcanis was implanted by those worms and was cursed. Even the elderly and babies, so we have no choice but to obey King Alaric. His witches will kill our family if we disobey him."

"So I heard... How about those demons? I am sure they are up to no good. What is their contribution?" Elsa asked.

"They are the ones giving demonic powers to the witches, something that they need to use their dark magic," the she-wolf answered.

"Right..." Without hesitation Elsa fired pyroblast again to all the demons that Kaizer was guarding, turning them to ashes.

Ciel facepalmed herself inwardly at how Elsa was acting. Not that she doesn’t want the witches and demons to die too, but she was afraid that Elsa might totally lose control soon.

"What the fuck happened here?" Hoven exclaimed, arriving at the site with a horrid scene. Werewolves in rock cages, piles of ashes everywhere, and burned bodies all around. The places smelt like he just arrived in the pits of hell with all the burnt flesh wafting in the air.
