Hellbound With You (WN)

But he had to hand it to them and admit it to himself that they were strong. The demons Zeres had summoned were not ones to be taken lightly not were they the small fries in the underworld.

He had no idea about how these monsters were ranked but he knew that they definitely belonged to the supreme ranks of demons. These were the big fishes – those who lord it over the others and cause fear even in the land of death. And that was why Alex was forced to unleash the strength that he was unable to awaken during his earlier fight with Zeres. If one were to compare, that earlier exchange could only be called a play fight while this was genuinely the real deal.

Alex ’s eyes were piercing gold and his hands and arms were already covered with dragon-like scales as he dealt with the demons, figuring out how the hell could he kill these immortals. Was it even possible? And if it was, one was already challenging enough. But now he had to be dealing with three of them! And that is if there are no others joining in the fun – as it seemed that Zeres was still not done summoning these calamities from the vortex.

Alex had to pull out every move he had from his repertoire of skills and lethal attacks which he had perfected over the millennia he had lived. Strike after strike, some imbued with magical powers, others just relying on pure brute strength, Alex actually found himself working up a sweat. However, after innumerable exchanges between him and the demons, Alex caught an opening and headed in for the kill. After successfully beheading one of them, Alex tried the method of burning the demon ’s head to finish him. But unfortunately, just like him, the demon did not die. The next second, he saw the beheaded demon fuse his chopped off head back to its body, standing up again as if the beheading had never happened.

”Damn! ” he cursed aloud but as he looked at the three demons before him, Alex smiled. ”It seems I ’ll just have to enjoy beating all of you black and blue until you run away screaming back into to the underworld. ” He said, cracking his neck and fingers as his amiable smile widened into an evil grin. ”Back then, I quite enjoyed torturing creatures, you know? ” He added before disappearing from his spot and attacking them.

Meanwhile, on the ground, shadows began to thicken again as Zeres prepared to summon more demons. He was hellbent in making Zeke lose his cool and composed attitude and attack him all out with the intention of killing him.
