Hellbound With You (WN)

When Zeres materialized back in his hideout, what welcomed him was another commotion. While the undead vampires were frozen stiff and rendered immobile like robots that were shut down, a fight seemed to be going on between the witches.

Wearing a grim expression, Zeres appeared at the fighting scene and at his arrival, everyone seemed to freeze. Even while caught up in their fight, they could sense a tremendous cold aura and dangerous presence that had forced them all to halt in their actions.

Everyone turned to Zeres, swallowing hard. Since they saw how he had killed Phillip so effortlessly, they no longer had the thought that their King was not capable of brutally killing his own allies. Even if they were his underlings, they bore no delusion and have begun to be wary of him.

”What ’s going on here? ” Zeres ’ voice echoed stonily across the ears of every single person present there and as though his voice was made of frost, the witches flinched, feeling chills crawling down their spines.

Before anyone could manage to answer, a certain daredevil suddenly flew to attack him. Zeres had previously shrouded himself with darkness. After watching Alicia walk away and then secured by Ezekiel, he had gone to an empty place to prepare himself, making sure that he would be more than ready to fight to the death once he returned to his hideout.

Despite his silvery and angelic features, his aura was dark, heavy, and sinister. He was cloaked powerfully by an impregnable darkness so much so, that he failed to notice an all too familiar presence, until… he saw the silvery hair of the daredevil who had recklessly jumped at him.

Zeres ’ eyes widened and at the very last moment, he held back the killing blow he was about to land on the approaching reckless witch. He smoothly blocked her twin swords instead and then easily restrained her. She froze before him, unable to move her body.

Looking at her with a disbelieving look in his eyes, Zeres clenched his fists tight. He could not believe fate had chosen this child. Why her? Zeres knew that she was nowhere the strongest witch right now and she was still too young. Was fate really playing with him? Did fate choose this child because he had come to care for her?
