Chapter 661 - No longer

Lilith took a deep breath as she readied herself to go against these pack of maddened witches who were led astray. For some short few milliseconds, she felt a tinge of pity for these misled witches. Their life must be really sad and wretched. However, looking at them rushing towards her like crazed beings without a shred of clarity in their minds, she hardened her heart and resolved her will. There was no way they were able to be pulled back from the insanity they have fallen into. The only redemption she could offer them was blissful release in death.

Thus, with that, she faced forward and prepared to fight for her life. When the first few witches reached her, they were surprised. All three who were at the front suddenly had their necks slashed and blood just gushed out like a fountain.

In that split second, the bodies just slumped and fell to the side, showing those coming from behind that Lilith was holding onto a sharp sword in her hand, held firmly in a reverse sword hold. Her eyes glinting with fierce determination and the power of the queen also surging through her now.

For a moment, the other witches had a wave of fear sweeping over them as they looked at her formidable fighting prowess. However, they quickly got over it and gave a roaring battle cry before rallying each other to attack Lilith.

"This is going to be a long day…" Lilith sighed before narrowing her eyes, a silvery glint shooting out as she swiped her gaze over the many enemies rushing at her.

As the intense fight raged on between the witches, the deadly battle between Alex and Zeres continued and increased in intensity.

The humans who were looking on from far off, due to their unenhanced eyesight only saw flashes of lightning-like explosions in the sky – thinking that it could be some variation of ball lightning that was due to the extreme storm that was occurring in the distance. However, the supernatural beings who looked up into the sky could see two bodies clashing at each other as they flew around in the air. Each trying to gain a hit on the other, but whenever they met, their swords clashed and release those massive eruptions of light that streaked out like lightning and resulting in the explosive booms which were not unlike the sound of thunder. This fight between two powerful immortals was truly a sight to behold, not allowing any living thing to come anywhere close within a fifty-mile radius where they were battling it out.

The sky continued to roar, and the wind howled as the fighting raged on between these two immortals without stopping, until the night came.

On the bridge where Lucas and Kyle were, they finally had managed to wipe out the last pair of undead vampires. Both wore clear signs of their recent battle with the enemies on their bodies and clothes.

Though exhausted, they were not critically wounded. There were many skin-deep cuts and bruises which were all superficial wounds that would heal given a little more time as well as some deeper slashes on their backs. However, the duo just grinned and gave a meaningful look at each other, acknowledging that they were glad to have achieved the goals that have been given to them by Ezekiel. The two then left the bridge after carrying out a final sweep of the vampire bodies lying around, just to make doubly sure that every enemy was dead and eradicated.

Nodding at the other, they both turned and headed for Zeres' hideout. As they sped there, Kyle was worrying about Alicia. He remembered how bad her condition was the last time they were together, and she was left with the prophetess. He agitatedly wondered if she was still managing to hang on or perhaps by some sudden miracle that had occurred, that she or the prophetess had managed to reverse and restore the drain on her powers.

Before long, Lucas and Kyle arrived at their destination and they did not hesitate to climb up the tower, immediately heading towards the area with had the most commotion occurring.

As they went through an opened doorway which had its doors blasted apart, Kyle caught a glimpse of a swath of silver. Quickly turning to that direction, he saw a silver haired woman delivering the killing blow to a rouge witch. The prince widened his eyes in surprise and joy, thinking that it was Alicia. Did she already regained her powers just as he was hoping she would?

Relieved at the sight of her mane of silver hair, Kyle smiled and approached her with a spring in his steps.

"Queen A –"

Kyle froze, as did his words the moment the silver-haired lady turned and looked at him. Their gazes met and time seemed to have screeched to a stop.

"Who…" Kyle swallowed hard. Unable to form another word. This girl… the colour of her hair was no longer that attractive flaming red and her eyes were no longer that brilliant shade of turquoise green either. But it was definitely her. He can recognise her with a glance. He could not fool his eyes and most importantly, he could not fool his heart that immediately acknowledged her even before his eyes did.

The emotions roiling within him were so strong he could hardly contain it. He decided then to move and any thoughts left him faster than anything else. And before he knew it, his body crashed against hers and he had her held securely in his embrace.

"Lilith…" he whispered out her name with such longing as his grip around her tightened. She was warm, just as he remembered. But she felt way, way stronger. "What happened? Why are your…"

Suddenly, his eyes widened. He had heard about how the rulers of witches changed and passed on their succession and the realization of it struck him hard like a bolt of lightning.

Lilith pulled away to look up at his face, eyes glimmering as they kept shifting with so many emotions that was unspoken. She parted her lips to speak but before a word could come out from them, Lilith held him and both of them disappeared from the spot.

A sudden strong impact from above shook the building and within seconds, the spot where the two had been standing at was smashed and the building collapsed with a resounding crash.
