Alex continued dodging Dinah's ferocious attacks. With Abi in his arms, Alex could do nothing but dodge, making sure that Dinah's fire will never touch his wife.
"Alex!" Abi called him, but Alex couldn't even look at his wife. He can't afford to get distracted even for a moment. He wouldn't mind playing with the dragon's fire, but it was completely different when his wife was in his arms. He can't be reckless anymore. He can't even attack.
"I'm listening." He could only reply, his gaze burning as his focus remained fixated on the dragon's attacks.
"Zeke's speaking with me!" Abi told him, and Alex hissed under his breath.
"Zeke? Where the f.u.c.k is he?" he cursed, frustration evident in his voice. "What is he saying?" he then asked as he dodged another fireball, causing Abi to yelp in surprise because of Alex's sudden and utterly fast movement.
But she quickly gathered her wits, and her grip on Alex tightened as she spoke. "He said he found an exit!"
"Where?"
"He said I must order Zeres to break the ceiling to make a hole."
She saw Alex's brows creased. "We can't do that!" he said as he dodged another series of attacks. "The cavern will collapse and bury everyone if Zeres break it by force. The ceiling is thick! And we can't let that woman get out of this abyss, or it'll be harder to restrain her." Alex explained. Abi looked down and saw that the abyss was slowly being devoured by nothing but fire.
And she could see their comrades still down there. There was no escape for them. Vampires don't have wings to fly. They could leap, but the ceiling was too high, and they were all battered and weakened to their knees.
"He said it's okay," Abi answered. "He said there's an ideal spot at the left side of the ceiling that Zeres could break. He said the ceiling wouldn't collapse if Zeres will go for that spot. It's that spot where his voice is coming from." Abi pointed not at the center of the ceiling but the ceiling's far left side.
Alex had just glanced at where Abi was pointing when Dinah almost got them with her massive wings.
"F*ck." Alex cursed. Knowing that they had no choice, Alex could only agree before even seeing the spot Abi was talking about. "Okay, call Zeres now!"
With Alex's approval, Abi didn't hesitate anymore and she closed her eyes. It didn't take long for her to be able to speak with the dragon. And while speaking with Zeres, Abi heard Alicia's voice. She's alive!
A moment later, Zeres emerged from the burning cavern. Abigail never heard Zeres' voice, but the dragon was listening to her call without hesitation.
'Hurry, Zeres… our comrades are dying… we need to get them out of this place… Alicia too…' she pleaded, and as she opened her eyes, she saw the black dragon catapulted to the ceiling at an almost impossible speed.

The cavern shook, and a hole finally appeared in the ceiling. Zeke was right. The roof of the massive cave didn't collapse despite the impact.
Dinah's attention was pulled towards the hole in the ceiling, and a deafening roar filled the vast abyss. The she-dragon seemed to immediately realize their plan and her bloodshot eyes glared at Abigail with an even more intense bloodl.u.s.t. She looked at Abi as if she was telling her that she will never let Abi leave the abyss alive.
Zeres, on the other hand, immediately flew back to the cavern. He landed before Alicia and tried to pick her with his claw when Alicia looked up at him with pleading eyes.
"Let's take Riev out of here too, Zeres. Please." She begged. "This is all I could do for him. Please, Zeres. I want to give him a proper resting place. Let's not leave him here. Please."
Alicia didn't know if the dragon could even hear her, but she begged anyway. She couldn't bear leaving Riev's body in this inferno.
"Please. I can't leave him here. This is all I could do for him…" she continued, and before she could even finish her sentence, Zeres moved and picked Riev's body as well before he flew out of the cavern towards the hole in the ceiling.
Dinah was too occupied with Alex and Abi that she ignored Zeres flying towards the hole. Her fire intensified. She was trying to block Alex from approaching the ceiling as she continued raining endless fire.
A little bit more and the vampires on the abyss' floor would soon get burnt to death. There was no more place left for them to hide. Everything was about to be melted by Dinah's fire. Seeing their comrades below, Abi looked at Alex. She knew she couldn't disturb him, but there was no way she'd let their friends die like this.
"Alex! Kai and the others are still there!" Abi told him but Alex could only curse.
"I know." He replied. He could see that the situation was getting hopeless for the vampires that were trapped on the abyss' floor. He couldn't save them because he had to save his wife first. It would be too late even if he returns for them as fast as he could. Their only hope now was Zeres, but they needed a little bit more time, and they had to distract this mad woman because Alex could tell that she will definitely refuse to let anyone leave the abyss alive. She will rain more fire and finally burn everyone once she saw that Zeres was going to transport everyone out of the abyss. That was why they needed something to keep her occupied while Zeres pick the others. They had to attack her. But how?
"But Alex –"
Abi's words were cut because of Alex's sharp and unexpected shift. Her eyes caught sight of the hole at the ceiling, and Abi's eyes widened.
"Mists!" she yelled. Now that there was a hole in this abyss, Alex could now control the wind to bring her the mists she needed. "Alex! Bring me the mists now!"
