Chapter 1239. The Fall of Messephyria

Aldryth, Arthur, and Bowler were thrown out of the other side of the portal. They landed on the ground and found that they were outdoors. They saw in the distance, the capital where they were in a moment ago. Messephyria was burning as the battle now mostly took place inside the city. 

Aldryth ran to the rock wall where they came out from. No sign of a portal was there. She hit on the rock wall.

"No! Mother…," her voice was weak. It was close to weeping.

"It appears the secret exit only works one-way," Bowler said.

Arthur came to Aldryth and consoled her, "Princess, please be strong. Your mother wants you to live."

"Sir Arthur, we need to go back!" Aldryth pleaded.

Arthur shook his head. "Doing that will waste your mother's sacrifice."

"She might still live!" Aldryth insisted.

Arthur just sighed in response.
