"My Lord, why do you push thing too far to this point? You can destroy them all, with it..." Zeke glanced at the dark cave, where you would occasionally saw a pair of red eyes, flickering in the darkness. It would give you chill down your spine, because in a glance you would know this predator screamed calamity. "It is ready for you to use..."
Zeke had been feeding all the monsters in the north with Asturi Stem, now this vicious predator had been woken up after a long deep slumber, the monsters gathered around because the creatures could feel it power.
This was the perfect time for them to move their plan to the next level, but Decratic didn’t do it. He took everything very slow, as if he enjoyed this slow torture upon his enemy.
"If we don’t take action immediately and they managed to get reinforcement from the Holy Kingdom once they are able to travel by the sea, we will have hard time." Zeke couldn’t follow Decratic’s line of thinking.
Meanwhile, Decratic stared at the bleak sky with eerie smile curled on the corner of his lips. He looked like he was in a good mood. "Why in hurry?" He looked at his strong adherent. "Let’s enjoy this a little bit longer." Decratic closed his eyes and inhale with feeling. "I can feel her desperation..." he said that with a chuckle. "Once the sea is able for traveling, I want to see my worshippers too."
With that, Zeke’s eyes lit up. He must have turned senile to forget that they had their own reinforcement. The worshippers! They would have been here if it was not winter. More so, two harbors in this continent were under Decratic’s control.
"Yes, yes, you are right my lord! You are completely right!" There was the sight of delight in Zeke’s eyes when he finally set his worry at ease.
However, Decratic didn’t heed his joy, because right now, there was this addictive feeling that he was sensing. The desperation, anger, helplessness and many more... this feeling was very addictive, he couldn’t help, but to push things further even more.
He wanted to see her break, he wanted to feel her misery... he wanted it more. The more she felt this agony, the more he was elated.
The bond between Decratic and the Serafim was real, the two of them were tied together by fate. This bond was something that none of them could understand. This was surreal and Decratic was drunk with the sensation and the thrill he got every time he felt how desperate she was...
But, it was not enough. He wanted to feel more... he wanted to feel more of her desperation. He wanted to feel the same despair, grief and suffering like when Na lost Lu...
Meanwhile, Zeke didn’t know what kind of thought that swarmed in his lord’s mind to make him be in such good mood, he talked more and even gave him an explanation for his action. From here, his lord looked like he was in serenity, despite how chaotic the other part of this continent was, or the fact they were in this untouched land, where many monsters lurked in the dark.
"My lord... what is you real plan?" Zeke asked, as he realized the situation was not this simple. "Why do you ask Dexter to kill her... if you want her?"
Decratic finally opened his eyes and smiled brilliantly at him. "Because he will not be able to do so." He knew there were countless people around that woman to protect her, Dexter’s lame attempt wouldn’t even make a scratch on her skin. "But... I have another gift for her..."
Decratic had thought everything carefully and he took pleasure with his plot, he praised himself for this.
"What do you mean?" Zeke furrowed his brows, he didn’t understand what he meant with that, but instead of answering him, Decratic bent his body and started laughing out loud, his voice echoed in this silent forest, startled all the living being there.
Yet, instead of happiness, the sound of his laughter laced with ominous feeling that made your heart ill at ease by only hearing that.
But, what Decratic’s gift for the Serafim?
=============================
Hanna’s grey beast dashed toward the safety place, where she could find Grace and the Serafim, while behind, two warriors followed her in their beast too, they looked in hurry and was agitated.
She stumbled when she shifted into her human form when she saw the Serafim and Grace. She shouted on the top of her lungs, her voice was shaking, but it was clear enough for them to understand.
"Please! Come! Something is wrong with baby Rora! Something is wrong with her!" Hanna screamed, she rushed toward Grace and Abby and took both of their hands to come with her.
"Wh- what is wrong?" Grace startled, she just checked on Rora two hours ago and she was perfectly fine, so what was wrong now?
Abby was confused too because Hanna took her hand to come with her.
"The baby can’t breathe!" Hanna cried. "Her face turned blue!" Hanna talked incoherently, while the two warriors that came with her filled the gap and told them about the baby’s condition.
