Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 189: Larry Appears 

Jennifer's POV:

Anthony and I fought side by side and killed off Austin's lackeys.

They were no match forbecause my claws tore them easily apart.

However, there were so many of them.

As soon as I managed to get rid of my opponent, another would attack.

It felt as if the battle was never going to end.

My eyes turned red as I becmore and more ruthless.

While focusing on my opponents, I gradually becunaware of my surroundings.

"Watch out, Jennifer!" Skylar shouted hysterically.

I turned around and saw that all the dancers had picked up weapons and were rushing towards me.

They had not taken part in the fight earlier so I had not paid much attention to them.

They must have been waiting forto drop my guard.

The dancers were coming atso quickly that I did not have enough tto dodge their attack.

"Jennifer!"

Anthony also noticed that the dancers were ambushing me.

He wanted to cto my aid, but he could not get rid of Austin.

The dancers lunged, their swords less than a meter away from slashing me.

My eyes narrowed as I roared and stretched out my claws.

I was determined to fight them to death.

But before we could clash, a strong gust of wind blew from behind me, forcing the dancers back and scattering them across the floor.

I was stunned, unsure of who had saved me.

When I turned around, I saw Skylar.

She had her hands stretched out in front of her, and she looked a little dazed.

"She can control wind! She must be a vampire!"

one of the guests yelled while pointing at Skylar.

"No, no.I'm not..."

Skylar staggered back in horror.

I realized that the gale that savedjust now was caused by Skylar and her special power.

Damn it! Skylar's identity was about to get exposed.

"Don't be afraid, Skylar.Everything's going to be okay.Let's go."

Jerome, who was next to Skylar, reacted quickly.

He gathered Skylar in his arms and put his coat over her, covering her face.

"Jerome, take her out of here right away! Run as far as you can!"

I shouted at my brother while fighting with the dancers.

We were all being so loud that it did not escape Austin's ears.

His eyes narrowed as Jerstrode away.

"Anthony, how dare you team up with a vampire?"

Austin pointed at Jerome, who was running toward the door.

"Stop that man! Catch the vampire and kill her!"

The royal guards immediately turned around and rushed towards the door.

Thinking fast, I dashed to the door and stopped the royal guards from attacking my brother.

"Gary, Dana, cover for Jennifer."

Anthony also realized that things were not going well so he left Austin behind and cto help.

After hearing Anthony's order, Gary and Dana joined the battle to help us stop the royal guards from attacking.

The situation beceven more chaotic that I had no tto care about anything else.

I could only fight and hope that Jermanaged to escape with Skylar.

"Anthony, you have colluded with vampires and tried to slander me! Guards, kill all these spies!"

Austin seized the opportunity to fight back.

He pointed out Anthony as the enemy and swore at him.

With our backs up against each other, Anthony and I fought off the guards.

The harsh training I had been through cin handy at this moment.

My fists and feet moved quickly, and I was able to defeat many enemies with my sharp claws.

Not far fromand Anthony, Dana and Gary fought bravely against several guards.

They were not at a disadvantage which boosted our morale.

If we continued to fight like this, I believed that Austin's chances of winning would gradually decrease.

"Larry!"

Austin yelled while glaring at Anthony andwith intense hatred.

"Watch out! The grand wizard Larry is here to help them!"

When I heard the nthat Austin called out, I quickly turned to warn my teammates.

As soon as I finished speaking, a man in a black robe suddenly appeared before us.

He waved his wand and muttered something.

The wand spewed out streams of black fire.

"Watch out! He's using black magic!" Anthony yelled.

We rolled on the floor, barely avoiding the attack.

"Are these the people you wantto deal with? They are very weak!" Larry snorted with disdain.

Seeing his complacent expression madesneer.

Anthony and I had already expected that Austin would ask Larry for help.

"Roy!"

Anthony roared for reinforcements.

Roy, who had been hiding outside, appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall along with several other wizards.

"Protect the prince!"

Roy held up his wand and cast a water spell to extinguish the black flames.

The other wizards followed suit and chanted all sorts of spells to attack Larry.

"Humph! None of you are worthy enough to be considered my opponent." Larry flew into a rage.

"Letteach you all a lesson!"

He fired a round of lightning in our direction, but Roy and the other wizards were prepared for this.

They worked together and used a defensive incantation to defend us against Larry's attack.

Although Larry was very strong, our wizards outnumbered him so they were able to hold him back.

Caroline's POV:

I was waiting in the bedroom for Austin to appear with good news.

However, while I was lying in bed, a maid rushed over to tellthat something had gone wrong in the banquet hall.

"What happened?"

I sat up on the bed and frowned at the maid.

"The king and the prince are fighting," the maid answered.

"What?!"

In a fit of anger, I grabbed the maid and shook her.

"Why didn't you tellabout such an important thing earlier? You're so useless!"

I shoved the maid aside and rushed to the banquet hall, forgetting the fact that I was supposed to be pretending to be injured.

I couldn't let anything bad happen to Austin.

He was the only one I could depend on now.

If Austin fell, I would end up in Anthony's clutches, and he was going to makepay for my crimes.

When I arrived at the banquet hall, the situation was worse than I had expected.

I heard the deafening sounds of fighting.

I entered the hall and saw blood all over the floor.

I was shocked to see how many guards had died.

What was going on? I took a few steps back and felt something under my feet.

I looked down and realized that I had stepped on an arm.

I was so startled that I screamed, nearly falling backwards in the process.

Where was Austin? I looked around anxiously and eventually caught sight of him.

At that moment, I noticed that Jennifer was coming up behind him with her claws raised.

She looked like she was aiming for his neck.

"Watch out, Austin!" I screamed.

Austin must have heardbecause he rolled on the floor, dodging Jennifer's attack.

But before I could sigh in relief, that bitch turned around and ran towards me.

I tried to dodge, but she was too fast.

I even stretched out my claws in self-defense, but she managed to grab my neck first.

How was she so strong?! I struggled in her grip, but my efforts were useless.

"What are you planning to do with me?"

I tried to claw the hand gripping my neck.

"Look over here, Austin.I have Caroline!"

Jennifer liftedup by my neck.

"If you don't surrender now, I'll break her neck."

Jennifer was squeezing my neck hard enough forto have difficulty breathing.

She looked like she was seriously going to kill me.

The possibility of that happening scaredout of my wits.

My eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"Austin...Help me..."

My gaze locked with Austin's, and he looked torn.My survival instinct madecry for help with all of my strength.
