Hellbound With You

Chapter 665 - Unthinkable

Back at the ruined hideout where the earthquake shook the whole area and buildings came crumbling down, it could be seen that Zeres was standing before Alex, staring down at him emotionlessly.

Alex was sitting on top of the rubbles created by their ferocious fight, looking all bloodied and dishevelled. He had just pulled himself up and sat on top of that pile of debris, smiling as he looked back at Zeres, despite all the deadly attacks he had suffered from Zeres’ hands. He shook his head vigorously as he used a hand to brush his hair off and a puff of dust flew down from his hair, evidently being punched into the walls until they tuned to dust.

A chuckle escaped from Alex’s lips as he ran his fingers through his tussled hair. Zeres was incredibly strong, but Alex was not at all surprised. He knew that a man who had a strong reason to fight often ends up being the strongest of them all. He was sincerely desperate more than anyone else and that was why he had managed to achieve a certain level of power that was normally far beyond his very limit. Alex remembered that this similar occurrence happened to him before as well when Abi died in the past. That time, losing her made him lose his sanity and he could bring out an overwhelming power he did not know at the time he possessed.

At this moment, it was Zeres’ turn who was experiencing the same thing. He was at the very peak of his power and yes, right now, he was stronger than him. Especially since Alex realized that he could not bring out his full power against this Zeres who was desperate to save Alicia’s life. It was just impossible. There was no way he could truly make himself kill Zeres even if he forced himself to do so. More so when he was well aware of the reason why Zeres was acting this way. How could he blame the man when he was the same in relations to anything concerning Abi?

And it seemed that Zeres had realized it as well. He could tell that Zeres was quickly losing interest in him now.

"I don’t remember you being this weak Alexander." Zeres said, his voice lifeless. His eyes dull as he stared at Alex.

Alex smiled and threw his head back as he chuckled and stared at the dark sky. "My bad if I’m weak for you. Well, the great me is already old so..." Alex’s grin widened as he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. His actions seemingly light-hearted.

Zeres’ eyes burned in silent anger, and he clenched his fists tight. His ominous aura blazed with quiet yet powerful rage and hate. However, Alex could feel that all that rage and hate was not truly really directed at him but rather at the whole world.

"You wasted my time, Alexander." He gritted his teeth and growled out. However, before Alex could respond to his accusations, his wings spread open, and he catapulted towards the sky in an instant.

A deep sigh escaped Alex’s lips. This was getting more complicated. He did not even know what to do now. Was there anything that he could do? He sighed as he leaned back and looked up at the empty sky towards the direction Zeres had flown in. There was an astringent feel in his heart as he thought of the predicament his good friend was in. But what was it that could be done?

"What do you think he is planning to do now, Zeke?" Alex threw out that question the moment he felt someone’s presence landing beside him.

Zeke too had his eyes fixed towards the thick darkness where Zeres had disappeared to. The lightning was booming endlessly.

"I’m not certain. All we could do is to wait for his next move." Zeke said, giving nothing away no matter how much Alex tried to scrutinize and probe at his annoyingly blank expression. "Such a spoil sport..." Alex muttered as he rolled his eyes.

Sighing again, Alex rose and cracked his neck. His clothes were tattered from all the deadly falls and from the fight he suffered. He could not deny he had enjoyed the exchange thoroughly though.

"The deadline he gave us is getting closer. I don’t think he will ever give up. And really Zeke... is there truly no other way to solve this apart from him dying?" Alex now sounded very frustrated.

"I have already answered that question of yours many times, Alex. There is no other way to keep Alicia alive if Zeres does not die." Even saying this, Ezekiel’s voice had no inflection to it.

Alex g.r.o.a.n.e.d. "Then what are we going to do? I don’t think I’m the one who could kill him even if I force myself to. So, speak now Zeke and spill out what are you hiding inside your head. You know he’s not bluffing when he said he’ll create chaos in this world if Alicia dies. I know he’ll do it and I know you will not let it happen. I know you already know something since the day you said you will leave the kingdom, no, since Lucas returned. Even so, I was able to stay calm all this while because I know you have a plan. But now time is running out and there’s still no clear-cut solution for this. Just what the hell are you waiting for?"

While Alex was talking, Zeke’s eyes remained fixedly looking at the dark clouds. Through that, he could see Zeres just there flapping his mighty wings, looking like a fallen angel. Something was enveloping him, combinations of silver, black and red light swirling around him. What was he doing?

Zeke narrowed his eyes, zooming his gaze onto Zeres’ face which he could hardly see because of the thick dark magic enveloping itself around him.

Zeke could see his lips moving slightly. Zeres was chanting a spell. And even though Zeke could not quite tell what kind of spell it was, he knew it was something unthinkable, something beyond...

The look in Zeke’s eyes changed abruptly.

Alex immediately felt the atmosphere turning black and he knew it was caused by no one else but Zeke. Was it finally time for this man to make his move?
