Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 72

Third Person POV

In the ruined village of Dalham, Sabrina, Lucia and Cyn entered the hidden dungeon inside the cave. It was pitch black, so Sabrina cast a fire spell on her finger to see in the darkness. Lucia and Cyn walked behind her while observing their surroundings for any sudden attack from monsters in the cave.

“I couldn’t feel any monsters around,” Sabrina mumbled. The sound of their footsteps and breathing resonating in the cave.

“Demons might have controlled them and let it attack the villages.” Lucia said. Sabrina kneeled and closed her eyes while touching the ground.

“Hey, what are you doing?” Lucia asked in surprise.

Sabrina stood up and continued walking. “Well, you’re right. The demons controlled all the monsters inside this dungeon and it attacked the entire village and the neighboring village.” she said.

“Demons really went berserk in this war. I don’t even understand why they wanted so much power. What will it gain them? Are they stupid?” Cyn uttered in disbelief.

“Indeed,” Lucia murmured.

Upon reaching the dead end of the cave, they didn’t find a door. “There must be a hidden door somewhere. Let’s find it!” Sabrina said, and the two nodded their heads. They started touching the walls and the ground to find any opening until Sabrina stepped into a magic circle. “What’s happening?!” they all mumbled and gasped. Sabrina composed herself and said, “It must be the door to the dungeon.” she said. The dungeon cave shook, and a shining light cracked into the wall in front of her. Then a little later, a thick metal door appeared.

“The door!” Lucia uttered.

The three of them looked up in front of the big door, trying to find how to open the door. “There’s no opening!” Lucia muttered. Sabrina touched the door and closed her eyes.

Lucia and Cyn covered their eyes when the door released a blinding light. The door cracked open and Sabrina opened her eyes, then walked inside.

Sabrina’s eyes sparkled at the treasures in front of her. She’s certain that the dungeon is unexplored or no one must have been able to find the door. What caught her attention was the floating staff in the center. The staff she was looking for. The odd thing was the staff was calling her name and felt a powerful force pulling her forward. She walked towards the staff while her gaze fixated on it. She held out her hand slowly to grasp on the staff and when her hand touched the staff, a blinding light appeared, causing her to close her eyes.

When she fluttered her eyes open, all she saw was white and her jaw dropped while staring at the gigantic monster in front of her—a black dragon. The dragon roared while glaring daggers at Sabrina.

“Human, you dare wake me up from my deep slumber!” the dragon said, and breathed a purple fire. Sabrina looked stunned when the dragon’s fire almost hit her.

“I am a witch!” Sabrina yelled and released her powerful aura. The black dragon spread its wings and flapped continuously. Sabrina fought the powerful force that the black dragon formed using its wings. She could feel the ominous power of the dragon. If she’s just an ordinary witch, she has been long gone or exploded into bits because of the strong force. She has to do something before the black dragon will kill her. A smile formed on her lips upon remembering the name of the dragon.

“Kyrios!” Sabrina yelled, and the black dragon stopped upon hearing his name. The ominous power he released disappeared, and he looked at Sabrina, then bowed his head.

“My Queen, I apologize for my inappropriate behavior. As a punishment, I will do everything you command.” the dragon said. Sabrina sighs in relief and smiles.

“Kyrios, I need you to help me defeat the monsters that are ruining the magic realm.”

“I do as you command, my Queen. I am a dragon devourer and you can use my power as you need.” the dragon said and shone brightly. Sabrina closed her eyes as the light almost blinded her.

“Thank you, Kyrios.” she whispered.

“Sabrina! Thank God, you’re awake!” Lucia said the moment she opened her eyes. She looked at the staff in her hand and smiled.

“I did it, Lucia. I talked to the dragon and he will help us defeat the monsters.” Sabrina said.

“That’s great! Are we going out of here now?” Lucia asked, relief washed over her face.

“Yes,”

“What about the treasure?” Cyn asked while looking at the shimmering treasure of golds and magical items.

“Leave it to me,” Sabrina said, then pointed the staff to the treasure and chanted, “Devour and stored!” purple magic came out from the staff and ate all the treasure. In just a minute, the room was empty and turned to dark. Sabrina’s staff lit up like a flashlight so they could see in the dark.

Lucia and Cyn looked dumbfounded. “Woah, that’s the power of the staff?” they blurted out. Sabrina nodded.

“Let’s go!” Sabrina let out and walked out the dungeon. Lucia and Cyn followed while smiling. “Now, let’s help the western land.” Cyn said.

Few minutes later, they arrived in front of the ruined high walls and saw the chaos caused by the gigantic monsters, goblins, and demons. Without a second thought, they attacked the monsters and their attacks surprised all the wounded warriors, wondering who they were. Sabrina held the staff and pointed to the monsters and goblins. “Devour!” she chanted and all the monsters got absorbed by the power of the staff. Every monster that attacked Sabrina vanished like dust.

While Lucia and Cyn skillfully killed the goblins and demons all at once, leaving no survivors but there are goblins who run away in fear when seeing Sabrina’s power.

Everyone that witnessed Sabrina’s power felt extreme fear. All the warriors pointed their weapons to Sabrina while shaking. They saw Sabrina and her comrades as a threat to the entire land, even though they helped them. Sabrina understands their fear because they should fear her new weapon. It could kill the enemy in an instant without delay.

“W-Who are you?!” the warriors asked.

Sabrina looked at the warriors and gripped the staff. “We’re not an enemy. We’re here to help all of you defeat the monsters. May I speak to your leader?” she said, and all the warriors gasped.

“No need. His Majesty wanted to speak with you too.” a magic knight appeared while bowing his head.

Sabrina, Lucia, and Cyn nodded and walked towards the carriage, waiting for them. The other knights escort them to the castle. Some warriors stay at the gate to watch for the enemies. Sabrina noticed that all the big houses are empty.

‘The King of this land might have a secret base in case of an emergency like this war. They must’ve prepared for this day.’ Sabrina thought.

Not long after, Sabrina and her group arrived at the castle. The attack ruined some parts of the castle. The knights led them to the throne room and the King of the Western Land, patiently waiting for their arrival.

King Tyrone rose from his seat when the big double door opened and entered the heroes that saved his land.

“Your Majesty, they have arrived.” a knight spoke while bowing his head and the remaining knights as well, and King Tyrone nodded, his gaze fixated on Sabrina while his mouth agape.

Sabrina cleared her throat and spoke, “Your Majesty, my name is Sabrina. The Sextuplets send us here to help. You probably all know the thousands of armies of the undead heading towards here.”

King Tyrone nodded. “Thank you. Without your help, we couldn’t defeat all those monsters in one go.”

“It’s nothing. So, let’s discuss our plan.” Sabrina said and King Tyrone nodded, then led them to the vast conference room. All the generals and elders were present.
