Chapter 883: Serefina
Chapter 883: Serefina
"You?!" Lilac almost screamed when she noticed Serefina standing right behind her, the witch's lime-green eyes, stared at Jedrek with such intensity which raged Lilac's fury.
What the hell in the world did this witch want??And moreover, how could she enter freely without even alarming the guards outside?!
Lilac immediately jumped to her feet and faced Serefina. The ground beneath them shook with her power. The guardian angel was ready to show the witch that she was unwelcomed here.
"Calm down girl," Serefina sneered and then lazily she shifted her attention to Lilac. "You will kill him if you let him mark you in his current condition, you stupid little girl," she repeated her words from earlier.
Lilac was really upset beyond words for the witch's presence here, but Serefina's last words caught her attention. "What do you mean?"
Once again, Serefina flashed her a mocking smile, as she spoke her mind. "You are not as pure as you think you are," she started.
"I don't think I understand what you are saying," Lilac said through gritted teeth. Did the witch want to ridicule her by saying that? What did she even mean by that?
"You will only be worsening his condition further if I let you do what you are intending to do," Serefina said with a sigh, as if she was talking to a five years old little girl. "You know that the spell-casters had taken the devils side and they had put this curse on Jedrek through the spell-casters, who fought him."
More or less, Lilac had already guessed about the devils' part in it. However, it didn't explain what Serefina said earlier.
As though, Serefina could read her mind, she answered Lilac's unspoken question.
"Did you forget that the devils have your blood?" the witch raised her eyebrows questioningly and from the look on Lilac's face, of course she didn't forget about that. The event was still embedded deeply in her mind. "Have you never been curious about what they would do with your blood?"
Lilac knew that the devils were after the guardian angel's blood and she was well aware what her blood could do, yet she didn't really know what the devils' actual plan by having hands on their blood.
"Moreover, the devils have the blood from all the three of you," Serefina continued.
However, whatever it was, it wouldn't be good…
"And now, I'm going to show you what can they do…" Serefina waved her hands to her surroundings for Lilac to see what actually meant for the guardian angels to end up in the wrong hands.
The frown between Lilac's brows deepened when she followed Serefina's movement.
However, because there was no other person inside the room, except for her, Jedrek and the witch, thus she was a little bit late to realize what Serefina meant with her words.
"What is it?" Lilac muttered to herself, as she couldn't find the difference, yet when she turned around, she saw that Jedrek was in the same position from before as he held her hand and closed his eyes as if he was still holding her hand in his hands.
The sight of him was awkward, but it helped Lilac to realize what exactly was going on.
"You stopped the time!?" Lilac whipped her head around and looked at Serefina in disbelief. "But, how…"
Controlling time, was Raine's gift as a guardian angel, so how could Serefina manage to do that too? It must not be true, right?!
It would be a mess and a great loss for them if Serefina could do this.
"Like I told you, a long time ago," Serefina smirked at Lilac. "You know nothing."
Lilac was a guardian angel, thus it didn't affect her, but it was indeed different from before, when Raine stopped the time, this time Jedrek couldn't move freely due to the curse on him.
"The only reason why the devil couldn't finish you off when Chiron was being stopped by Raine's power, was because they couldn't withhold such a power," Serefina said, she shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. "But, not now, since I have solved the problem."
The devils were only pleased when Serefina managed to meet their expectations by achieving this. However, just like all other promises that those filthy devils had done, they didn't bother to keep their promise now also.
It pissed Serefina off when she knew they used this nasty curse to plot against Jedrek and kill him by leaving Lilac in the same opinion as before, to think that she could help him by doing the same thing like before.
Because once Jedrek sap her power, with the curse in his body, death would be something that he wouldn't be able to avoid.
Even now, Serefina could feel his beast gradually growing weak.
"You really betrayed us," Lilac said while gritting her teeth to contain the anger that started to consume her.
"What did you expect?" Serefina sneered, a complicated feeling flashed in her lime green eyes, which was failed to be noticed by Lilac, as it only lasted for a second.
"You betrayed Jedrek," Lilac emphasized her words this time, as she knew it would affect Serefina by including Jedrek in this conversation.
Serefina squinted her eyes and spoke rigidly, though she was trying to sound like she didn't care, but she failed. "He will thank me when he woke up later."
After saying that, Serefina walked closer toward Jedrek's bed, but Lilac held her back with the tendrils and roots to stop her movement.
"Do you think this lame trick can affect me?" Serefina jeered. "You don't learn anything, do you?"
And after saying that, Serefina waved her hand, which loosened the roots and tendrils that wrapped on her body.
However, it was not the only thing that left Lilac flabbergasted, but the fact that those tendrils followed Serefina's command and tightened around her own body, rendering her immobile, which shocked her to the core.
"I told you, right?" Serefina flicked the tendrils from her shoulder and looked at Lilac with derision in her lime green eyes. "The devils got the blood from the three of you…" Serefina said as she walked closer to Jedrek while Lilac couldn't even move a finger.
It meant, they could not only stop the time, but could also use Lilac and Hope's power as well.
