Chapter 202 - The Battle Is Over

Liam could understand her distress, it wasn't the first time Celia had ended up unconscious after a fight, the last time in the arena was a memory that was still very vivid in their minds.

They had all seen Celia teleport between Anaya and this demon, and it was her who had been stabbed instead of Anaya by an arrow made of pure darkness energy.

That was not all, that day Celia had used the power of her divine door to destroy all their enemies.

She had done it knowing that the condition of her body did not allow it, all this for protecting them all.

So yes, Liam understood the helplessness that Anaya felt, but Celia was like that and she would not change, she will always stand up to protect her family.

Liam said to her when she calmed down a bit : "I know how you feel sweetheart, I feel even more helpless than you, I always have to let you both take the greatest risks, I am already no longer able to protect you, I can just assist you the best that I can.

If you only knew how helpless I feel when I see you and Celia in this state, it's hurting me like hell."

Liam kept her in his embrace and kissed her hair, he said to her because somehow she had to accept it, like he did : "Celia will continue to get hurt because we are all her priority, no matter how far she has to push her limits, she will do it and there is nothing we can do about it."

Anaya used the back of her hand to remove her tears, if Celia woke up now and saw her in this state she would feel guilty.

And Anaya especially didn't want that, not when her wife had just proven once again how exceptional she was.

Celia had managed to fight this second general more than ten minutes alone, knowing how she hated to fight that was a miracle, that's how formidable she was.

Anaya stood up and a new determination could be seen in her eyes, she said to Liam, Alec and her father who had chosen to stay by her side : "I want to get stronger, I have to increase my fighting skills, and I have to be faster, much faster than now.

When the golden dragon hearts had taken possession of my body, I could not even follow the movements of my own body, that's how terrific this power was.

And the fight against these generals will have at least served us to learn one thing, which is that our shield is useless against them, only fighting with weapons will be effective to kill them."

Dan walked over to Anaya and gently stretched his hand towards her head, if Anaya didn't want this contact she could always avoid it he thought, but to his relief, his daughter finally let him gently caressed her hair.

He asked her : "Do you feel better now that you have a aim ?"

Anaya nodded and Dan continued : "My little girl, let your dad give you a advice, first of all, never forget that your dragon's fury must remain under your control, otherwise you may hurt the people you love.

And second, never forget that you are the golden dragon, the one and only, you will get stronger, much stronger than now, so don't worry too much, soon you will be able to protect your life partner and she will never get hurt like this again."

Anaya smiled bitterly, she said to him : "You say that because you don't know her yet, Cel will always want to be on the front line.

And it's not just because of her strong protection's instinct, my wife is able to analyze situations almost as good as Aiden, at least they understand each other very well.

She can react quickly and change plans if needed, like when the three generals attacked us, if all went according to the original plan, she wouldn't have been hurt

But fortunately, she had prepared a trump card just in case something would go wrong, if she hadn't absorbed the power of the golden dragon hearts inside the daggers, we would have been doom."

Anaya sighed helplessly and said : "She won't let me protect her, never ..."

Anaya was interrupted by one of her father's men, who came to report the situation on the battlefield.

Dan lift his hand to tell him to stop and he checked if Anaya was okay, Anaya nodded she wanted to know as well how the battle was going on.

With Dan's approval this man then told them that the battle was over.

An enemy mage had managed to open a transdimensional portal and some had taken the opportunity to flee.

Dan questioned his man, and he learnt that only ten percent of the mages and fighters ennemies had managed to escape, the rest had been killed.

Liam was more than satisfied, all evil creatures had been exterminated, ninety percent of the mages and fighters had been eliminated and the demons were now under the command of his brothers.

It was a great victory, without counting the generals that Anaya had killed, this time, this demon god would need some time to regroup.

The girls were going to be able to breathe a bit, Aiden had told him before the battle that if everything went accordinly to their plan, him and Caleb would need a few days to stabilize their power on Inferno.

Then he would come back to join them and he would let Caleb run things there, Celia being Basile's mother, despite everything he would always stand by their side.

...….

Celia who was still inside her brother's shield painfully opened her eyes, she had a terrible headache and the pain made her blink, she moaned and shook her head in the hope of feeling better but of course she only succeeds in feeling even worse.

Anthony said to her : "Stop moving idiot, that's not how your headache is going to pass, your wife should learn to massage your temples it will be more efficiency.

In the meantime lay your head on the ground and close your eyes, you have the right to speak but not to move understood."

Celia did as her big brother told her and asked him : "How did you guess about the headache ?"

Anthony told her mocking her : "I'm not your brother for nothing, you always do this when you have dizziness or headache, and it never helps, I never understood why you kept doing this but here you are, still doing this silly thing."

Celia chuckled and asked him more seriously : "What happened while I was unconscious, where is Anaya and what about the battle ?"
