Chapter 783 - Stay

Chapter 783: Stay

This chapter is dedicated to @Edenn! Thank you so much once again for the supergift!

Iryz could barely see the man clearly due to the tears, sweat and probably blood as well that had gotten into her eyes.

"Do you see this? Take a good look!" he gripped her jaw and she saw a sharp and shiny blade being pressed up against her face. "Answer me now. One more lie, and I will use this blade to cut an extension for your mouth from the tip of your lips all the way up to your ears. That way, your beautiful face will turn into a clown since you seem to like to be one.

Do you hear me? I'm counting up to three. Open that damned mouth of yours now! One! Two! Three! !"

His eyes turned bloodshot, and he pushed his blade as Iryz cried out.

A reddish glow appeared, suddenly enveloping her. It appeared the moment the tip of his blade touched her skin, wanting to pierce it.

The man suddenly could not push his blade forward anymore to cut her. His red eyes widened as he withdrew his blade. "A witch? No. You're clearly a human. A human protected by a powerful spell?!" he screeched with displeasure.

He violently let go of her face and cursed.

"Shit!" he grabbed at his blade, turning around as the door behind him flung opened.

Zeres stood by the threshold, his eyes wide as he looked at the girl who was still tied in the middle of the room, hanging from a hook in the ceiling. Then his silver eyes blazed into argent hellfire.

The vampire attacked him, aiming to escape. But Zeres caught him in the blink of an eye. His hand was already curled around the vampire's neck, his hold getting tighter and tighter as he was choking him to death. The vampire struggled but his meagre strength was futile against Zeres' overwhelming show of power.

When his gaze fell on the little human girl again, looking lifeless and limp, he felt his heart shudder with fear.

He loosened up his grip from the vampire's neck and touched his head, wanting to know at this instant if this man was really the one who had hurt her. And in just few seconds, he got his answers. He had seen it all. The torture... everything that he did to her.

His hand trembled, it took almost everything he had not to kill the man right this instant. No, he would not kill him. How dare he... how dare he hurt her. How dare he torture a helpless girl. He will grant him the torture tenfold over of what he had delivered to Iryz. But this would be saved for later.

Using his magic, Zeres rendered the vampire paralyze and mute, and left him lying on the floor. Then he rushed towards Iryz, cutting the rope as he held onto her bloody figure.

His fingers were trembling as he reached out to check her pulse. He prayed that he would still be able to find one.

A sharp breath was wrenched out from his mouth when he felt her pulse and found that she was still breathing. But she was very badly hurt, and her pulse was so faint that he could not help but panic.

The first thing he did was to place his palm over her chest and his magic flowed out, enveloping her like a cocoon.

"Fuck! Why is it not working?!" he cursed loudly, desperately. Why was the girl not healing as she should be?

At that desperate moment, Iryz opened her heavy eyes.

He stiffened for a moment, seeing her look at him. "Iryz... I'm here now. It's okay. I'm going to heal you, okay?" he told her as gently as he could, struggling to keep his voice from sounding panicky.

His magic brightened up as he kept increasing the amount of healing magic being poured out on her.

But Iryz's eyes began to flutter and looked as though they were about to close again, causing his panic to skyrocket. "Don't! Don't close your eyes. Stay with me, please! Iryz!"

She opened her eyes again at his shouting. Though only slightly, her response relieved Zeres so much.

"Yes, stay with me. I'm going to heal you." he told her reassuringly when her bleeding lips opened and whispered to him something. But too soon, her eyes fluttered and closed agam.

"No, don't! Iryz!" Zeres called out loudly when another voice echoed out behind him.

"Zeres!" Alex's emerged from the door, running quickly towards him. He had felt a brewing trouble just as he was about to leave Zeke's place, and he was right! Why does trouble seem to follow Zeres around?! What a troublesome little white dragon he had befriended.

He rushed over to Zeres after seeing how desperately the man was looking at him from his kneeling position beside that girl he was holding. "My magic doesn't seem to be working on her Alexander. I don't know why!!" the way he called out to Alex almost sounded like a wail.

"That's because she's human, Zeres! Have you forgotten that witches can't..." Alex trailed off after seeing the panic and fear blooming uncontrollably in Zeres' eyes. "Come on. Let's bring her to the hospital Don't worry, she won't die, trust me. Just teleport all of us to the nearest hospital now and make it quick! Make sure we are at the hospital's garage, Zeres." Alex managed to remind Zeres before he teleported. It would not be good if any of the humans suddenly catch them suddenly appearing out of thin air.

"Grab that vampire first. Can't leave him here so he's coming with us." Zeres snarled and the moment Alex looked at the man on the floor, he pinched the skin betvveen his brows.

'Goddamn Zeke. I can't believe these vampires are getting loose like this the very moment you lose your sight on them.' Alex muttered to himself before hesitantly picking up the guy, knowing full well that a massive headache had already started. 'Damn... this is going to get ugly real fast..'
