Chapter 660 - Do not let me down
Kyle was still grinning as he arrived back to where Lucas was with the dead vampire in tow. He was feeling good about how he handled the issue with having two human children catch a glimpse of them vampires. When he looked to where Lucas was a while ago, shock and surprise coloured his face. The horde of undead vampires who were unstoppable just moments ago were all dead – not so unstoppable after all. Their bodies were scattered on the ground, some whole, most not.
The young vampire prince blinked a couple of times before swallowing hard as his gaze fell to the miracle who had come to lend them a hand. His brother was standing in the middle of the pile of dead bodies, poised and elegant as if he did not just massacre a whole company of wild and rouge vampires. With the rain falling and the lightning flashing around in the background, his brother was just quietly standing there in what looked to be such a dreadful scene.
What had happened? How did he even manage to kill those undead in such a short time? Just what did he do?
Kyle landed beside Lucas who was currently healing himself from the wounds he suffered from all the fighting earlier. Kyle knew that Lucas had been quite distracted the whole time since the fight started. It was obvious that the man was making sure to watch over him despite the intensity of the fight and that was the main reason why he had suffered that many deep wounds and quite a few were deep lacerations.
"What happened? What did brother do?" He asked Lucas but the man just shrugged.
"Nothing. His Highness simply did what he needed to do." Lucas replied and then he concentrated on his healing.
Kyle stared at his brother. He realized Lucas did not seem to be surprised at all. This meant that his brother doing something like this was not something new and it had occurred previously, at least to Lucas. Intrigue and curiosity flooded him, and he was kind of upset that he had missed it. He was very sure his brother's fighting stance was truly a sight to behold.
"Brother…" Kyle finally called out and was about to approach Zeke when another lightning struck close to them.
Their attention was pulled towards the direction of where Zeres and Alexander were fighting. They were trading blows up there, in the thick storm cloud, not at all bothered about the condition of the weather. Even though they could hardly see a thing, they could feel the tremendous power and ominous danger roaring along with the booming thunder and fierce wind.
"There are still many of the minions left and they're heading here. You two can handle this now, right?" Zeke asked with a flat voice.
"Yes." Kyle said as he looked to his back. Seeing that the humans were now quite far from them, Kyle was certain that he and Lucas can handle the minions on their own even with the injuries sustained.
"Then I'm leaving these for you two to settle." Though Zeke's voice was calm and collected, Kyle saw the look in his eyes and understood that unspoken statement of "do not let me down". Kyle only nodded.
The minions came pouring in and the fight resumed. This time it was fiercer as Kyle and Lucas were not as overwhelmed anymore.
…
Inside Zeres' hideout, Lilith had managed to escape from Zeres' chains because of a certain knowledge that she was suddenly reminded of. And aside from that knowledge, she also felt like she had received more strength and power in just a short period of time.
This sudden influx of power was so strong it had overwhelmed her entire being. And when it finally stopped flowing into her, she felt as if she was not quite herself anymore.
When she broke free from her chains, she looked at her reflection on the broken glass window and she did not know what to feel and how to react at the sight of herself. She had not been looking at herself since she started noticing the changes happening in her. Only now had she mustered up the courage to look at herself, but she could hardly believe what she was seeing.
There was hardly any more trace of her flaming red hair and piercing green eyes. Her hair had now gone so bright like the moonlight, even her irises seemed to have been bleached of their usual green tint.
The first thing that came to her mind the moment she saw herself was her queen. That was right. She did not have the time to stand here being stunned at her current looks. She must find Queen Alicia!
But before she could leave the hideout, she encountered the witches who were still busy creating more undead vampires. She had stealthily caught one of them, knocked her out, and f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y read her memories. When Lilith saw everything that they have been doing and their aims, she did not know what to think anymore. All she knew was that she had to stop these witches from creating more undead vampires. She must stop them with whatever way possible. She would willingly kill them all – though they were fellow witches – if that were what it takes to end this craziness. If Queen Alicia was the one standing in her place, Lilith was certain she'd destroy all of these witches and that was why she was going to do just that.
With her swords in her hands, Lilith appeared at the altar, shocking all the witches that were circling it. They all looked as if they had seen a ghost.
"Stop this nonsense." She snarled and pinned them with a fierce glare. "If you do not stop right now, I will force all of you to stop."
It took a long while before the witches could make any sound. It was obvious they could not believe their eyes. But too soon, their eyes were again clouded with madness and their gazes turned from shock to contempt.
"I can't believe the new queen is such a little child." One of the witches sneered with disgust. "How ridiculous! This must be the reason why us witches are being treated like shit! This is why we all acknowledge that the only ruler who truly deserve to rule the witches is our King Zeres! A child like you don't deserve to rule any of us!!" Their indignant voices clamoured and rose in a fevered pitch.
"Kill her!" They roared and they lunged over in a frenzy to attack Lilith like a pack of mad dogs.
