Hellbound With You (WN)

Back at the ruined hideout where the earthquake shook the whole area and buildings came crumbling down, it could be seen that Zeres was standing before Alex, staring down at him emotionlessly.

Alex was sitting on top of the rubbles created by their ferocious fight, looking all bloodied and dishevelled. He had just pulled himself up and sat on top of that pile of debris, smiling as he looked back at Zeres, despite all the deadly attacks he had suffered from Zeres ’ hands. He shook his head vigorously as he used a hand to brush his hair off and a puff of dust flew down from his hair, evidently being punched into the walls until they tuned to dust.

A chuckle escaped from Alex ’s lips as he ran his fingers through his tussled hair. Zeres was incredibly strong, but Alex was not at all surprised. He knew that a man who had a strong reason to fight often ends up being the strongest of them all. He was sincerely desperate more than anyone else and that was why he had managed to achieve a certain level of power that was normally far beyond his very limit. Alex remembered that this similar occurrence happened to him before as well when Abi died in the past. That time, losing her made him lose his sanity and he could bring out an overwhelming power he did not know at the time he possessed.

At this moment, it was Zeres ’ turn who was experiencing the same thing. He was at the very peak of his power and yes, right now, he was stronger than him. Especially since Alex realized that he could not bring out his full power against this Zeres who was desperate to save Alicia ’s life. It was just impossible. There was no way he could truly make himself kill Zeres even if he forced himself to do so. More so when he was well aware of the reason why Zeres was acting this way. How could he blame the man when he was the same in relations to anything concerning Abi?

And it seemed that Zeres had realized it as well. He could tell that Zeres was quickly losing interest in him now.

”I don ’t remember you being this weak Alexander. ” Zeres said, his voice lifeless. His eyes dull as he stared at Alex.

Alex smiled and threw his head back as he chuckled and stared at the dark sky. ”My bad if I ’m weak for you. Well, the great me is already old so… ” Alex ’s grin widened as he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. His actions seemingly light-hearted.
