Chapter 175 Surrounded By Darkness
Heigl was not the type to act nervously or overthinking , he always acted as if he knew all the secrets about Delwias Island, nothing seemed to surprise him or play on his nerves, he always acted so cold and wise for his age and Yogev didn't think that was a normal thing anyway.
To him Heigl was still a kid, he was much younger, and in terms of decisions he made great decisions along the way, he helped plan most of the things and for that, he was so thankful for his presence next to him.
Even when things went wrong because of his cruel decisions he stuck with him and helped and managed to think of a plan b which was a thing that only a genius would do in the middle of the chaos .
' I will never let him hurt him ' Yogev thought when he saw that Heigl was having a panic moment due to all the inconvenience they had that night .
" Calm down, no one is going to hurt you, especially after an offer like you suggested to him"
Heigl couldn't even tolerate listening to what Yogev was saying, especially after their previous argument, he just yelled at him back saying : "You didn't see how he killed the mages, he doesn't have any single drop of humanity inside of him, the rumors were true, the Duncan family is the worst nightmare of this region"
Yogev tried not to think more about the way Heigl was acting toward him, he was treating him way worse than others, and to him, it was very annoying, however, when Heigl lost every single hope of surviving he just couldn't handle it, so he yelled at him back saying:" So ? You are going to give up and let him kill you? Is this how you want to face your problems? You are not the type to act this way, of course, he is dangerous, I still feel pain in my whole body, he is powerful, but we have a card in our pocket and we should use it wisely "
" You don't understand, we are dead in both ways, all the mages in Delwias Island are against us, and we have him on the other side, the only way for us to survive is up …and this …this is very difficult to obtain right now " Heigl replied this time while leaning toward one of the walls, he was covering his face with his palms, he was in a total mess and everything was stained with black in his eyes.
" I can't do it …I just can't .." Heigl added.
Yogev stayed where he was closer to the door while facing him then said :" Let's not waste time and start to fix things "
" Shhhhhhh" Heigl pointed at the door behind him the moment he felt a few steps getting closer to them, it was not just one person he could tell, and that is why he raised all of his walls of protection while asking Yogev to move away from the door.
The door was already opened, and after a few minutes of anticipation, Isiah entered the room, he looked terrible, he had a lot of injuries and his face looked very pale compared to the moment when he left earlier.
" Hmmm, he woke up, " Isiah said the moment he looked at Yogev standing next to Heigl .
Yogev didn't say a word but Heigl replied:" The mage, you killed him too even though he helped us "
" You should think about yourself because you're going to follow him, " Isiah said while he headed toward the floor and sat on the ground.
He was tired and experiencing so much pain due to his injuries and also his hunger.
His hand injury started to ache just minutes ago, and that is how he realized that his body was going to heal himself .
" Isiah, Isiah why are you leaving this way? We were talking, " Ciel said as he entered the room only to be surprised by the presence of two people that he didn't recognize.
Ciel didn't know what to do so he headed toward Isiah and then said while standing in front of him and looking at him from above:" Isiah, let's build your house again, or maybe you just move with to the institution, I mean we could live there because it is very peaceful and there is no one that is using it "
Isiah ignored what Ciel was saying then looked at Heigl and said:" The way out, start to talk "
The look on his face terrified Heigl, and right when he was about to talk Ciel interfered between them saying:" I will help you heal your hand too, just find me the spell to perform"
At that moment Isiah looked at Ciel and then said with a straight face:" I am not staying with you, I am not the person that you used to know, that person died that day, the person sitting in front of you doesn't care about you the slightest, not you or anyone to be precise, all I care about is the way out of here and nothing else "
Isiah was brutal with the words he chose while he was addressing a little kid that really cared about him, he felt like he was so sick of listening to his innocent words and that is why he had to be very rude to him to drive him away .
Ciel's face was very red, it felt like he was accumulating all the bad words inside of him which made Isiah feel terrible, yet he didn't move away, he kept standing there in front of him silently while looking at his injured hand .
At that moment Eijar entered the room followed by Lexie who kept walking slowly because of her injury.
The first thing she noticed was not the place where Isiah was sitting but the place where Heigl and Yogev were standing .
She ground her teeth while feeling a wave of rage passing through every single inch of her body, she spat on the floor and the look on her eyes started to change.
She tried avoiding going back and killing him because she knew that he was surrounded by his people, she knew that her powers were limited and that she was going to die before getting any type of revenge .
Yet, with him standing here Lexie felt very angry and she even couldn't control her face reflecting that type of emotion in front of everyone.
Yogev didn't recognize her because her face was full of bruises, however, Heigl recognized her right away so he stood in front of Yogev and then said:" what are you doing here? "
Lexie didn't even try to answer him, she summoned a bow and an arrow silently.
Ciel was very surprised by her action, she was not the type to choose violence unless it was for protecting herself, and for her to do this was very confusing .
" What are you doing ? " Yogev shouted, he was still clueless about who she was .
Isiah kept looking at her silently as he started to get ready to stand on his feet.
" You fuc****ing bastard, there is no way that you are going to survive the night," She said while raising both her arms while trying to fix the direction of her arrow toward Yogev.
She was pointing at him with a lot of courage inside of her, in that moment nothing mattered, not his powers, not his status , and of course not the state of her body.
' He killed my family and there is no way that I am going to leave him alive, it is either him or I ,'
Her tears fell right away which made her sight foggy, and the moment she tried to wipe her tears, Heigl was about to attack her just to save Yogev.
Yogev was not capable of defending himself and if she attacked him right away she would have killed him easily .
" Put the weapon down " Heigl shouted as he cast a spell to hit her with balls filled with compressed air .
He was threatening her so that she would stop but she didn't, she wiped her tears fast and then returned to her position to kill Yogev .
She felt someone behind her suddenly,she didn't notice that someone was getting closer to her because she was so focused on killing Yogev.
Something was off about the person standing behind her, his body was sending huge negative energy, she could feel it even when they were not touching, it was a scary moment for her.
she closed her eyes wishing that this person would leave her alone .
The person behind her was emitting some sort of dark waves, she concluded after that it was a dark energy, the same energy that the dark creature who attacked them had.
Her heart started to race because the person kept getting closer and closer to her. She felt that the atmosphere around her was changing, so she opened her eyes very slowly only to find herself surrounded by darkness .
