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. freёwebnovel.com
