Hellbound With You novel Chapter 647

Chapter 647 Frost King

Alicia knew that it was too late for her to dodge the attack, nor had she any strength left to do anything to save herself. But as the bullet-like blade travelled towards her, she did not flinch nor close her eyes because strangely, despite her hopeless situation, there was no fear of death that came rushing to her.

And then, just as the blade was about to reach her, it was stopped. The tip of the blade barely missed cutting into Alicia’s face as though someone had caught it with their bare hand.

Alicia’s gaze travelled from the bleeding hand right in front of her face that was holding the blade to the person’s face and she sagged back in relief. Her weakness and the wound she suffered from the witch she had just killed seemed to suck whatever remaining strength left that she just slumped over. However, before she could crumple to the ground, she was held up by strong arms.

The witches were shocked as they watched Zeres holding the woman.

"My King..." Someone spoke, pulling Zeres’ attention towards them. Everyone was silenced at the sight of Zeres’ eyes as his gaze swept over them. His gaze was frightening in their intensity, causing everyone to subconsciously flinch back at the sheer amount of power radiating out from him. What’s going on? Did they do something wrong?

This was the first time the witches saw such intensity in the silver-haired witch’s eyes. It was as if he was preparing to slaughter them all at that moment, had the woman got killed before he came right in the nick of time.

In the midst of the witches’ fear and confusion, Zeres lifted the woman and turned his back from them.

"I’ll take this woman." Was all he said before disappearing along with the woman from the altar.

"Wha... what was that?"

"I don’t know. I thought we were done for." The witches around the altar mumbled to each other.

"Yeah. It looked like he was almost on the verge of killing us." One witch commented as the rest felt the tremors from that powerful aura still wrecking their bodies.

"Could it be because of that woman?" another witch hazarded a guess.

"Seems like it. Do you think he’s in love with that woman?"

"Perhaps, or it might be because that woman looked exactly like queen Alicia?"

The mad male witch from the back butted in. "Silence! Go take another one from the cell now. We don’t have any more time to waste!" he barked out his orders and one of them immediately moved out of the circle while another dragged the dead male witch’ body away from the altar.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" Zeres growled as he gently put Alicia down on a couch as soon as they materialized inside a dark room lit up with candles. His tone greatly contrasted with the way he was handling her.

Alicia forced her eyes to open and when she finally looked up at Zeres’ face, she felt her chest constrict as her heart was heavy and sad, all due to how different he looked right now. His bright silver eyes were cold, and he felt like a different person. Dark fury sharpened the lines on his face as he looked at her wounds.

"Damn!!" he cursed as he ripped her clothes until the huge wound that extended from her shoulder all the way to her collarbones was bared to his view and fully uncovered.

Without wasting a moment, he placed his hands over her wounds and greenish powerful lights immediately cloaked her. The wounds on her shoulder started to heal, and the one on her face was gone in seconds.
