Chapter 675 - Something else

Up in the air, Alexander was fighting those demons that were surrounding him nonstop, like a killing G.o.d. His counter attacks on them were savage to the extreme and the demons kept being torn into pieces before gathering up and becoming whole again.

Alicia could only watch as Ezekiel flew off towards the dark clouds and black shadows swirling in the sky, like a dark angel, where the fierce and surreal battle was occurring.

His one-word response to her question earlier was not even a surprise to her, in fact. What shocked her to her core actually, was how his eyes looked when she caught sight of it. That one eye that was so dark, that one could not even see any trace of light or color in it anymore had caused Alicia's heart to tremble uncontrollably. The horror that gripped her when she first saw his real face was nothing compared to what she was feeling at the moment.

Alicia's mind simply blanked out as she processed everything. Even though as of now, she had already lost all of her witch queen's powers, the memories and knowledge that had been pa.s.sed on to her and all those that she had seen in her reign as queen still stayed on within her. And she would never, ever forget that face, those large and powerful black wings, and that single lone, dark eye. No matter how incomplete the picture was in her mind, she could no longer reason within herself that what she saw in her memories might not be the whole truth and that it was perhaps too early for her to come up with any conclusions on the matter especially when she did not see everything. She was a firm believer of only believing when seeing the whole story, especially when dealing with important matters such as this.

However, seeing that the owner of that horrifying dark eye was actually no other than Ezekiel, she could no longer make herself not believe the things she had seen.

After a long while, her trembling hands managed to clench itself into tight fists.

When she lifted her head again and looked up into the sky, the helplessness that had consumed her which had been reflected in her eyes were finally gone. A flash of silver gleamed in her eyes for a moment before it disappeared again, as if it were never there in the first place.

Suddenly, she felt out of breath. Her heartbeat literally stopped for a few moments. Alicia's body froze and she clutched at her c.h.e.s.t painfully. She could feel that her breath was being s.u.c.k.e.d away from her body. The acute pain that kept lancing through her c.h.e.s.t area in intervals of a few seconds caused all her muscles to be paralyzed. Could it be that her time was already up? Does it mean she has to get ready to die now? Those thoughts came as a lightning bolt as she tried to juggle her tangled up feelings.

Alicia fought so desperately to draw in breath after breath. She did not know why she was so frenzied. She thought she had so much time to prepare her heart and ready her mind…did she not? Wait!!! She was screaming inside her own mind. She just needed a little bit longer. No… she only needed a few more seconds. That is all. Not yet… please… her cries and supplication sadly were outwardly unheard and all within her mind. No one could see her struggling with the chaos that were going on around them.

Between her silent battle, her heart began beating again. She was able to breathe again. Her lashes were wet with tears even as they rolled down her cheeks, her c.h.e.s.t heaving up and down as if she had just finished a marathon. She stilled for a moment before realising that it was just about to hit midnight. There must be a reason why Zeres had given them that timing as a deadline. She guessed from what had happened earlier that he had known earlier that she was going to die by midnight if Zeres was still alive by then.

She fought with all the remaining strength that she had left to rise, her eyes now blazing with pure and undiluted determination and will. However, what flared out from her eyes was not the determination to stay alive.

Lilith who finally snapped back to reality from the seemingly potent spell that had influenced her at the sight of Ezekiel's eyes, immediately rushed over to help Alicia when she saw her trying so desperately to stand even when she seemed to already be on her last breaths. When she turned and saw the look that was s.h.i.+ning forth from Alicia's eyes, the young witch could only be rendered speechless. What on earth had happened within that few minutes? Why did her queen looked as if she had just received a mission so important, she looked as if she would be willing to give her very life to see it through, no matter the cost?

Despite her weakened state, the look in Alicia's eyes even made Lilith feel the chills that crawled under her skin. She wanted to ask and dig more on it, but without knowing why, she could not do it.

Kyle and Lucas on the other hand stayed still as statues behind the two witches. Alexander had never allowed any demons to reach them again and since they could not fly, there was no way for them to join in the battle arena which had long since been moved to the sky. Kyle and Lucas could only look on as they were torn between feeling left out and relieved that they were not battling it out with those crazily powered up super demons.

And now, the two vampires were not just standing there feeling both awed and helpless at the same time but paralyzed as well due to what they had just witnessed earlier on. Their almighty pure blooded vampire prince did not just grow wings, he also had a strange eye that never belonged to a vampire.

At that moment, Kyle felt as though he did not even know this Ezekiel who was with them right now anymore. He could not help but ask himself whether if he even was actually the real Ezekiel Reign. Because no matter how he thought about it, this person was not just a vampire. No pure-blooded vampires have characteristics such as what he had displayed! He could not even call such a being a vampire anymore. Because he just was not. He was already… something else.
