Hellbound With You novel Chapter 680

Chapter 680: Too late

When the marauding demons reached them and crushed against it, that seemingly light shield managed to stop their momentum. It was successful! The barrier was working. The next second, a powerful twin force of merging wind and fire, that belonged to Alexander, hit into the back of the group of demons that were pushing against Lilith’s light shield and were mercilessly burned and blew the demons apart. Suddenly seeing that change in tides gave a little more cheer in their little hearts as there seemed to be some hope and light at the end of this very dark tunnel which had appeared to have been set in stone.

The few demons who were at the periphery that were blown further away by the blast managed to land on the ground, lightly singed by Alex’s fire storm, now were in a feverish exchange against Lucas and Kyle who were expecting them on the ground.

The fierce terrain battle started. Lilith, who was stationed nearby, watched over the two vampire’s back as they fought fiercely against the demons, ready to come to their aid whenever necessary. She also did not let up being attentive to the situation surrounding them in the case that other unexpected attacks come their way. The trio’s cooperation in battle were unexpectedly incredible even though this was the first time they were fighting together.

With the demons now scattered from the combined defence and attack of Lilith and Alex respectively, and them also aiming not only on Zeke and Alex anymore, that balance which was barely maintained earlier was slowly crumbling down.

When Alex’s came to aid his comrades on the ground, the other demons which he was restraining saw that as opening and they did not waste another moment to escape from the city.

When he saw what was happening, Alex had to immediately catapult to the sky again and rushed after the escaping demons. The battle on the ground was fierce and despite Kyle and Lucas fighting with all their might, the fact was that with just their strength, they could not kill those demons which they were entangled with. And this just puts them in the hopelessly losing side by default. All they could do at that moment was to put up a strong defence as a good offence. It did not help that they had been fighting all these while with the rouge vampires that were trying to escape the bridge and had used up quite a fair bit of their stamina and strength.

But the spell that Lilith had cast was somehow working on those demons. Though she could not kill them, she could paralyze them for a while and even put them into a frenzy. She was proving to be a huge help and a valuable ally to the vampires in this fight. But even they knew that her power was not infinite nor was it inexhaustible. Not to mention that she was still so new in using the newfound powers of the witch queen that she had.

At some point, Lilith’s barrier which was slowly being eroded was finally pierced by a powerful demon who had come spiralling down from the sky, catching Lilith off guard. The demon’s deadly hand was outstretched and about to crush Lilith’s face when the demon’s arm was suddenly slashed and being cut into to two.

The next thing Lilith knew, she was pushed onto the ground with Kyle lying over her, trying to use his own body as a protective covering for her.

Lilith had her eyes wide because she could see more demons already flying in the air and about to crush into them and could barely wait to tear them all apart. It would be too late for them to even do anything to escape this attack. She could only close her eyes as she held onto Kyle tighter.
