Hellbound With You novel Chapter 685

Chapter 685 - Gone

The demons trembled before Ezekiel. The sight of the huge demon suddenly and easily being reduced into a pile of dust rendered everyone speechless – not just the vampires and witches but more so the demons themselves. It could be seen that every single demon was tensed up and at full attention, frightened that this killing god would target them as the next pile of dust. No one dared to open their mouths again. Though nothing seemed to have changed in Ezekiel’s expression, what the dead demon had said earlier on obviously disgusted him – to the point that he deemed it proper to dispose of that demon that way. His merciless action said it all. He would kill anyone who will tell him where he was supposed to belong without any hesitation whoever it was. As to why he seemed to hate it more than anything else... the demons did not have the slightest idea. All they knew was that spouting another word would have them killed in an instant! And no one was fool enough to test it a second time.

The few who were planning to defy him instantly became docile the moment the largest demon was annihilated just by him clenching his fist.

Even the vampires below once again could not quite believe their eyes. To them, the man singlehandedly controlling the demons to return to the vortex was not their pure-blooded prince anymore. The only trace of his vampiric trait was his right eye that still remained blood red. That was all. That singular characteristic was all that identified him to the vampire race. Nothing else about him apart from that one eye resembled anything remotely vampiric anymore.

With their mouths hung open, they watched speechlessly as the demons disappeared one after another like obedient puppets. No one even dared to struggle, and Zeke just remained there, still, and silent within their midst like a god of darkness. This went on until every demon were finally gone.

Zeke then flew over until he was right before the weakening vortex and he lifted both his hands, palms facing forward. The black miasma coming from Zeke’s body swirled around and half enveloped the entire vortex and then as if the black miasma squeezed it forcefully, it gradually became smaller and smaller until it eventually became as small as a baseball before finally exploding and emitting a flurry of particles like black glitters.

As soon as the portal from the underworld finally disappeared, everyone felt like they could finally breathe once again. Though they knew this was far from over, at least the demons were now gone. Now it was time for them to return their attention to Zeres. And what will happen next... no one could guess.

Alexander landed on the ground while Zeke remained at the same spot he was in the sky. As to what he was doing, thinking, or planning, not a single one of them had the slightest idea.

Slowly, Alex headed towards Zeres and Alicia. But when he was a few steps away, he halted and just stared at Zeres still crouching in the same exact position since Alicia fell, hugging her as he buried his face in her hair. His body was still trembling up till now. Alex felt that it was truly a pitiful sight to behold.

The others also stood next to Alex. Lilith’s tears still falling silently.

They all stayed like that for what seemed like hours. No one spoke or moved until Zeke finally descended. That blacker than the blackest black left eye of his was no longer there and the miasma that was coming from the half of his body was also gone. His majestic black wings were gone as well.

Alex looked at Zeke before he walked over to him. "What are we going to do now?" he whispered, "It does look as if Zeres is not going to do anything anymore... at least with him in this current state right now."

Zeke’s lashes lowered as he stared at them. He was silent for a moment longer before he returned his gaze to Alex. "We need to leave this place first." Zeke said decisively as they heard sounds of helicopters approaching from far off. The humans were coming.

Alex looked at Zeres and after heaving a long sigh, he hesitantly approached them.
