The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 458

Ember raised her head to look at him. "What do you want me to do?"

He lowered his gaze to look at her, "I do not wish to influence your decision. It is entirely up to you. All I can say is, I am with you no matter what decision you take."

"I didn't know I had caused him harm." Her tone sad, her eyes showed the guilt.

"You saved him. No one knew what was going to happen."

"They said I could save him because I love him," the guilt in her eyes deepened, "You know that is not the case. I...."

"I know. You do not have to explain yourself," His one hand caressed her cheek, "I can feel any of your strong emotions throng the bond as well. Even if not for the bond, I would still know the truth."

"But I don't want him to die. At least not the way they say his soul would be underworld for eternity. I would be regretful always."

"I know. None of us wants him to die."

She hugged him back and mumbled, "I didn't know he was suffering. I want to meet Morpheus. Would it be too much if I ask you to take me there?"

"I was going to see him anyways. I will take you with me," he responded and both of them left for the Witch Clan's healing chambers.

As they reached the door, they saw Aureus standing helplessly outside, the sound of painful groans emanating from the room behind that door. Ember recognized the voice as Morpheus's. She hurried to the door and opened it, with Draven following close behind.

Her gaze was met with a shocking sight. On the bed, Morpheus's pale body was writhing in pain, curling and tossing. Evanthe was trying to aid him with her divine powers, but it was of little help.

Ember saw something more terrifying that others could not see. Shadows surrounded him, torturing him, sucking the life out of his soul, and trying to drag his soul away. She froze at the terrifying sight.

"D-Draven," she held his hand, "Do you see it?"

"I do," he responded and went inside the room. He stood by Evanthe's side and tried to channel his newly discovered divine power into Morpheus, which helped to a certain extent but not entirely.

"He will be fine in a while," Evanthe informed Draven, both continuing to channel their powers.

Cornelia saw Ember and approached her. "Go to him if you truly care for him."

Cornelia's words snapped Ember back to her senses. Cornelia was anything but polite at this moment.

"I don't know how to channel my divine powers. Tell me how to do it?" Ember asked earnestly, wiping away her tears.

"Just go to him and do nothing," Cornelia replied impatiently.
