The battle continued and Alex and his men fought against the vampires. Alex exceeded the splendor he had shown in all the previous battles he fought. His men had exceeded their limits as well, giving everything they had to back their leader, all with the help of the witch they had on their side.
Soon, the tide turned. Alex and his men were winning. It was hard for the blue-blooded vampires to believe that they actually couldn’t stand against this Alexander. Who was this man? How the hell was he so strong? Wasn’t he the weakest vampire that ever existed?
Alexander was going all out. He knew that they couldn’t use Abigail to threaten him because of the power of the mist that still protected her. Thus, he advanced without reservation, taking down everyone who stood in his way. Just before he was about to finish them off, another figure appeared before him.
Zeres.
Alex’s eyes blazed with hellfire upon the sight of him. Without wasting a moment, Alex leapt and attacked him. Their swords clashed and sparks flew from the impact. freewebnoveℓ.com
Alex still couldn’t believe that Zeres had actually betrayed Abigail like this. Despite their cat and dog relationship, Alex had come to trust Zeres when it came to Abigail’s safety. He knew that Zeres would never do anything to harm Abigail because he knew that the man cared about her too. Alex had never doubted Zeres until he saw Abigail being controlled by the witch queen.
"You, traitor! How could you betray Abigail like this?!" Alex hissed as they pushed their swords against each other.
Zeres responded with a wicked smile. "Traitor? Don’t make me laugh, Alexander. I can tolerate the fact that she chose you. I can accept that you have taken her heart..." he gritted his teeth. "But I won’t let you take her life as well... over my dead body, Alexander!" he yelled and his silver eyes glowed as his power began to intensify.
This time, it was Alex who lunged towards Zeres, swinging his sword into an arc across Zeres’ midsection at the last moment but Zeres jumped backwards with a small flip, landed crouched on the ground and then leapt forward. Zeres used Alex’s momentum against him and his sword hit their target. Zeres managed to wound Alexander on his thigh.
Alex looked down at the wound and then at Zeres and a devilish smile curved on his lips. Alex’s eyes hardened and play time was over. It was time to get serious.
In a blink of an eye, Alex seemed to have teleported behind Zeres and slashed Zeres’ back, wounding the male witch. Zeres staggered forward, holding onto his sword with all his might. He wasn’t going to give up. He couldn’t’! Not until he saved Abigail from her would-be killer.
Zeres turned to face Alex but Alex had disappeared again, this time appearing on his right. Zeres didn’t react fast enough and before he knew it, his sword clattered loudly on the ground after Alex sliced his right arm, rendering it useless. He could no longer use his sword.
