Chapter 926: Alicia & Zeke Side Story 2

When a thought dawned onto Sebastian, panic started to fill his eyes. Could it be that Azy awakened his demonic powers because of the opening of the gates of hell? They should have arranged to have Azy to be taken off to another place that was further away! Sebastian had the sinking feeling that due to the closeness of distance between Azy and the gates of hell being opened, that might be the trigger to awaken his own demonic powers.         

    

"Go away!! Azy!!! Go!!!" Sebastian yelled in panic, gesturing wildly at the young boy to move further away.      

But it was too late. Azy's appearance had caused the demonic power coming from the gate to suddenly spin out of control. It was as if Azy had ignited something utterly dangerous just by appearing within the area.      

Everything went down south fast. So fast that Sebastian and Zeres were overwhelmed.      

And it was then that the snake-like smoke got a hold of the boy. The darkness was being greedy and wanted him as well, not just Sebastian who was supposed to be the only sacrifice. Or perhaps because the darkness sensed that Azy had demon blood just like him.      

"F*ck!!! No!!!" Sebastian yelled as the darkness pulled Azy towards the gates.      

He jumped and got a tight hold of the boy. Sebastian gave everything he had to keep the two of them from getting pulled through the gates of hell. He must not let Azy get dragged along with him. Never! He would never forgive himself if that happens!     

Zeres had been occupied in keeping the magic circle working for the gates not to close, so he could not even help. He could only watch on from his position helplessly.      

As Sebastian struggled to get further away from the darkness that had enveloped them both, Alicia's scream echoed.     

"Azy!!!" Her usually calm and melodious voice was now fraught with worry and anxiety. Her son was the only one who could make her lose control like this.     

Seeing her son and Sebastian almost entering the vortex of darkness that was just beyond the gates of hell, trying its very best to swallow them both, Alicia did not bother to stand still and think anymore.      

She lunged closer to them and unleashed her powers. A powerful light magic instantly filled the dungeon and her hair began to turn silver. Her power was so strong, so powerful even the demonic magic from the gates of hell seemed to have shied away and shrink back from hers in fear.      

Sebastian's eyes were wide with shock as he looked at his sister-in-law turning into a… witch. A female, silver-haired witch – the very creature he despised. If not for the critical situation they were in, he would have shouted and demanded an answer on why she was suddenly turning from a vampire into a witch queen, right before his eyes. But even then, he could not tear his eyes away from her, while still keeping a tight grip on Azy.     

He watched her unleash her powers. The kind of power that Sebastian had never seen before. Her eyes seemed to turn into light itself as light magic enveloped her as though welcoming her into their fold. Her magic came shooting at the two of them in the next second, wrapping him along with Azy with her insane light magic. He could feel how the grip of darkness was loosening on him and Azy, as though being stung by the light magic that Alicia had enveloped them in.      

With her help, Sebastian managed to break free a little from the hold of the darkness. His main priority was to free Azy from the demonic magic wrapping around him and once he got him loose, he threw the boy away from him. Though he knew that Azy would have quite a hard landing, he could not be too particular about this matter now. It was more important for him to use all his strength to get Azy as far away as possible from the gates. The boy would not die from some bruises. He was a tough little one.     

However, Alicia was ready. She had seen Sebastian's move and had immediately moved to catch Azy  even before the boy could land on the ground. Her arms stretched out and curled protectively around her son, bringing him close into her embrace as she moved further back from the gates, sparing him that hard landing.      

And just as Sebastian was allowing himself to get dragged off by the darkness, his eyes flew wide open in horror as he was suddenly thrown away from the entrance of the gates while Alicia was the one who got swallowed.      

The gate closed.      

All of that happened in an instant that Sebastian had no time to react. He was still blinking as he stood there, trying to process what had happened.     

It was as though the entire world halted as Sebastian finally crumpled in a heap on the ground, looking at the wall where the vortex was once raging. Now it was only a blank wall, with nothing special nor otherworldly to it.     

His gaze fell onto Azy's small figure who was now cradled in Zeres' arms. She must have made that decision in a split second. After grabbing Azy, Alicia had sped off towards Zeres' position and placed her precious son into his arms and turned back to where Sebastian was.      

The boy himself had fallen unconscious and now there was no sign of Alicia. She was gone. She was… swallowed… the gates have closed.      

Everything happened in what seemed to be a blink of an eye that both Sebastian and Zeres still could not react and just stayed still right there, not knowing what to do next.     

Sebastian clenched his fists tight. So tight his knuckles started cracking. Why… why in the f**king world did she do that? Why did she not just let him get pulled in instead? Why did she have to do that?!!!     

The dark emotions in Sebastian's heart stirred. He had hated that Ezekiel had sacrificed himself for him. And now Alicia has done the same. He hated that they were doing what they pleased. He did not want or need any of their sacrifices!      

Eventually, Zeres stood, cradling Azy in his arms and approached Sebastian. Zeres had known Alicia far longer than Sebastian had, and he understood her a little better.         

    

"Don't worry. Alicia is powerful. She's not someone who could just be brought down so easily. And she's a mother. I don't think she'll ever accept getting separated from Azy. Not to mention that Ezekiel is in that place where she is now. I strongly believe she'll definitely return, Sebastian. Ezekiel will definitely find a way to send her back." Zeres told him. "So don't worry, we'll just have to patiently wait for her. For now, let us take Azy out of this place first. I think he might be having a fever."
