QT: Against My Will

482 7.104 – Destryoing A Soul Is Not An Option – War Of The Wickeds

Shortly after the explosion, thirty men and twenty women came out of nowhere, surrounding the area. They were all dressed in black, their face covered, each holding different weapons. The LADs were here, and they all created a barrier to protect the school and its students against the wildfire and the beast.

Seeing the crowd of powerful mages, the beast looked in Damon’s direction.

After Damon created a protective barrier around Riley, he released his dark aura, ordering viciously, “Kill her sidekick, I will take care of Silvia personally,” he outstretched his hand, marking his prey. He began to pull Silvia towards him.

Silvia was trembling on the spot, her hair was burning, her clothes were scorching, and her skin was peeling off as she walked through the fire in search of death.

Ziek’s situation was much worse than hers. He was losing the fight against the beast. As the only one who used the original’s body capacity, his omega strength showed through as not enough. His body was burning, consumed by his own flames, his internal organs were bursting out from their sockets and his bones were melting away.

When Dai An felt she was losing control of Silvia, she quickly escaped into her space. In no time, Silvia’s neck would be snapped by Damon.

Within the safety of the space, Dai An quietly sat on their bed, ‘Stop shaking. It’s not hurting him.’ She could feel his face cracking, his eyes popping out, ‘It’s not hurting him,’ his lips splitting open, his tongue cut, his veins rupturing, ‘It’s not hurting him. It’s not hurting him.’

Ziek was waiting for her arrival, draping his hands around her shoulders and hugging her tightly, “Just let me hold you for a while.”

.....

Dai An nodded silently, ‘~Hello? Dai An calling Bing Shi.’ She placed her hands on her lap. She didn’t need to hear Bing Shi’s answer, the laughter coming from the living room was enough to calm her down, “She won’t like it when she finds out. She liked Ezikiel’s MuMu’s size. I prefer that size too.”

“I didn’t know he still had a mythical beast up his sleeves. A fucking black phoenix, I never heard of that before,” Ziek’s mouth twitched as he looked in between his legs, “What are you doing?”

“Checking your actual size,” Dai An replied. After she made sure his body was not in pain, she placed her hand back on her lap, “Hubby boy.”

“Hm?” Ziek leaned against the headboard, twirling a strand of her hair around his finger.

Dai An blinked at his green eyes, “Bing Shi wants back her MuMu.”

“Tell her she will have to deal with the one I was born with.”

Dai An hung her head low, “Alright, then we want Ru Quan’s MuMu. I took a peek when I was burying him. I don’t know if it was due to the cold weather but it looked more holdable,” she swiftly escaped the room to hide inside Bing Shi like a refuge.

“...” Ru Quan almost choked on his saliva while the rest burst out in laughter.

Ru Quan, Ziek and Lu Kai would rarely work together in the same place. This time it was more about being safe than sorry. Ru Quan, Ziek and Lu Kai planned to kill Riley from the very beginning, or more like shift Riley’s soul’s focus from the HQ.

Riley became a host at the same time as Silvia. They both were forced into doing things against their will. Riley was able to overcome the hardship and escape HQ’s old regime, becoming a wandering soul with a system.

The HQ would have let him roam free if not for his thirst for revenge. Riley hated HQ for forcing him into being a host and had been causing disorder in his world missions, like hacking the system he obtained from the HQ, breaking the balance in the world, and sometimes even destroying the world he visited.

Riley became a threat to the HQ, but he was also a cash cow that filled their pockets — destroying or trapping his soul was not an option.

Outside the space, Silvia laughed hysterically, “They are dead, they are finally dead!” Her face twisted into a menacing look as she let out a loud scream, the pain from Damon’s clutch finally kicking in.

Damon, whose memory returned, scowled at this self-centred low life of a woman. He killed her on the spot as if she was an ant like a true Demon King would. The mistake he made was letting her live for too long.

After he made sure that she could no longer regenerate from the thousand-year fire, he wanted to take her along to the underworld. So when he brought Riley back to life later, the boy would have something to play with.

As soon as Damon finished his thoughts, there was a voice calling out loudly, “I found some survivors!”

Damon’s head jerked up as a LAD appeared behind him, trying to separate him from Riley. His hand instinctively let go of Silvia. He wrapped his arms around Riley in an effort to protect him. Nobody could separate him from Riley! Nobody!

The LAD was surveying Damon and Riley, observing their every move, “It’s dangerous here, leave.” He must’ve sensed the danger coming from Damon and backed out. He went to check out Silvia’s condition. As if wanting to disinfect the place, he pressed the vacuum-like machine on his shoulders, sucking in the fire together with the surface of the ground together with Silvia’s ashes.

The beast appeared next to Damon, “Master! We have to return! The castle has been under attack for too long!”

There was nothing that made Damon want to stay in this world any longer. He disappeared on the spot, returning to the underworld. What awaited him there was utter chaos.

Before Damon lost his memories, he only remembered being so bored that he wished for any type of entertainment that could kick some life into his world. A black entity without form visited his place one day.

It was a being of immense power and knowledge, but it had no physical form. Its voice seemed to reverberate throughout the air, but it spoke without a word. Despite that, Damon could understand what it was saying. It would grant him a wish in exchange for a piece of his memories.

Damon, desperate for an adventure, had agreed without knowing what the cost would be. He got to meet Riley, the love of his life. It was worth everything he knew, but... he lost him.

Without the memories that contained knowledge from his ancestors, he couldn’t bring Riley back to life. He had to learn everything from scratch. Some information should be achieved in the castle’s library. He had to go there. Immediately.
