Hellbound With You

Chapter 684 - How about you?



Chapter 684 - How about you?

"What do you mean? Do you still have a plan?Or are you still planning to kill Zeres?" Alex's voice suddenly became harder. He knew this was not the right time to talk but he needed to know what this man was planning to do now.

"I can't just agree to you killing Zeres off now that Alicia is dead. She had sacrificed herself to save him." Alex's voice was grave and serious. "If your only solution to this is to kill him, Alicia's sacrifice would be worthless. I... I don't want her death to be in vain..."

Despite Alex's almost absolute trust in Zeke and his uncanny ability in solving complex problems, when it comes to the matter of the witches, Alex was a little skeptical. He knew Zeke would always head towards the path where the peace in this world would not be compromised. And no matter how gruesome that path was, he would not hesitate so long as the result would keep the world from falling into ruins.

A long and heavy silence reigned between them. For Alex, the silence was due to him thinking on what more he could say to dissuade Zeke in the event that he wanted to go ahead in getting rid of Zeres. For Zeke, he seemed to be thinking things over in his mind. It was definitely a rare occasion for Zeke to appear indecisive. His suspiciously long pause that was so unlike him had made Alex's crease his brows. Alex did not know if he should be feeling worried or happy for the decision that Zeke would arrive on after his time of reflection.

"I know," was all Zeke said when he finally responded. "For now, we must deal with these demons first Alex?"

Alex's attention was pulled towards the demons before them. Their eyes were all fixed towards Zeke. It was as if they were all waiting for a signal on whether to attack or retreat. Looking at their numbers, Alex could only relent. Zeke was right on this point. It was imperative that they deal with these things first while Zeres was still in that state. Anything and everything else will have to take a backseat for now.

"I need you to intensify the storm again." Zeke continued after seeing the consent in Alex's eyes, "The human's military forces are on the way here. I will be needing you to block them from reaching to this area. There is no need to kill them." He narrated before glancing back at Alex after giving his final instructions on their plan and Alex knew Zeke was indirectly reminding him to control his powers so that there would not be any accidental killing of the humans.

"I know. Make this quick Zeke." Alex told him. The urgency was evident in his voice.

Zeke did not speak but went on to flap his elegant wings. The dark miasma was even enveloping his wings at this point.

And then the two of them moved, heading in the opposite directions.

Zeke floated in the midst of the army of demons. In the eyes of the bystander, it would be almost impossible even for him to deal with these countless demons in a short time. It would take so long until he could turn them all into dust no matter how strong he might be. Especially since these demons were not just some simple foot soldiers. Each of these demons could be as strong as generals themselves!

The storm had regained its strength again. Alex's wind wreaked havoc except in the heart of the storm where everyone was at. Including the demons. It was like time stood still in that particular area.

The vampires on the ground could only brace themselves, knowing that they do not have the luxury to weep just yet, seeing another epic battle was about to commence any moment now.

Lilith on the other hand kept her eyes on Zeres and Alicia. She was unable to stop her tears too as she looked at the heartbreaking picture of Zeres still trembling in agony and sobbing endlessly as he held the motionless Alicia tightly in his embrace.

In the sky, the tension was impregnable. And the suffocating darkness still kept on increasing until the black miasma coming from the half of Zeke's body reached out to every demon that were within his range of sight. The faint dark smoke lingered around them as if having a life of their own. And the demons could not help but become rigid.

Until none of them made a move. Only their wings and their eyeballs were the only things left moving. As if they were waiting for something to happen.

"All of you… leave this place!" his cold and emotionless voice thundered. It was a voice that belonged to a heartless king giving out his command. "You don't belong here."

The smoke began to slowly seep into each of the demon's body.

"Anyone who resists… will die," Zeke added as an afterthought and the demons could only grit their teeth as the first thought in their mind was banished like the mist.

Suddenly, the smoke began dragging each one of them back into the slowly decreasing vortex. None of the demons resisted.

"How about you?" one of the demons, the strongest of all the demons Zeres managed to summon spoke, as the smoke began to envelop him too. "Where do you even belong exactly? You and everyone else knows you don't belong here on the surface. You are supposed to be reig –"

Before the demon could even finish his sentence, Zeke's blood red eyes blazed, and he clenched his fist. The thin strand of wispy smoke suddenly expanded before wrapping around and strangling the huge demon. Before anyone could even blink twice, the demon screamed and then burst into dusts.
