The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 869

Harry's POV:

I struggled frantically in the black fog and tried to dash out of the crowd, but there was such a crush of people that it was hard for me to get out. "Joanna! Where are you?" I called out to Joanna loudly. Unfortunately, I couldn't even catch a whiff of her scent.

While I was burning with anxiety, the black mist suddenly began swirling and slowly began to fade away. Soon, I was able to view everything around me clearly.

I rubbed my eyes and realized that I had been swept to the edge of the trial platform. However, Sylvia had vanished, and even Laura was gone!

"What's going on? Where are they? Even the queen is missing. Did Sylvia cast a spell again?" The onlookers also noticed this detail, and became flustered and more keyed up.

"Let's get out of here. Maybe the black witch has planned to destroy this place!"

The crowd descended into panic and began to scramble again.

My stomach twisted with unease. I quickly tugged at a soldier's arm next to me and asked in agitation, "Where are the queen and Sylvia?"

The soldier remained remarkably calm and didn't share my panic at all. "Calm down. You'll know everything soon."

What did he mean? The soldier seemed to know something. Was this a trap?

At this moment, Joanna finally returned to my side and asked in a confused voice, "What's happening now? Why did Sylvia and Noreen disappear together? And the black fog is so strange, as if it can make people fall into some kind of illusion."

I turned around and asked Joanna seriously, "Did you notice anything wrong just now? I think the black fog was Noreen's trick. I have witnessed it at the border before."

Joanna shook her head when she heard me. "I was hidden on higher ground right now, away from the black mist, but I couldn't see anything. The only thing I sensed was that Noreen did come here just now, but her scent disappeared in a few moments."

"But why did the queen vanish as well? Sylvia should be Noreen's intended target." I couldn't figure out the reason behind this.

After all, Laura was the queen of the empire and the noblest she-wolf of the entire country. If Noreen attacked her, she would become the enemy of the entire werewolf race.
