The Alpha's Keeper

LVI: A Hunter’s Foolishness

“What the fvck is this?!” Seraphim cursed upon seeing the chains.

The hunter laughed triumphantly and said, “You should have listened to me! That is the gift of the sorcerer who kills. It is an incredible gift, and according to him, it is called absolute spiritual union! It basically makes everything that happens to me actually happen to you!”

Seraphim looked confused when he slapped himself, and Seraphim moved her face feeling the impact. She opened her eyes, and in a split second, the man pulled a knife from his sheath at his back and stabbed both his legs.

Before she could process what happened Seraphim, already felt pain on her thighs, as wounds appeared instantly. Her knees weakened, and she could not stay standing.

When she knelt, she saw how the hunter stabbed his arm, and she could barely move it. From her arm, another wound appeared, and the young woman began to feel how she was bleeding through all the holes.

The hunter smiled proudly and, while looking at her brightly, he said, “I told you it was a wonderful gift. I can only use it for twenty minutes, but that time is more than enough to tear you apart, you stupid, damn witch!”

Seraphim watched the man cut a piece off his arm, and she felt the skin on her arm parting.

Screams of pain covered the entire place, and she was crying out loud with helplessness.

The hunter looked at her and with a victorious air as he said, “You see, all your powers, all your magic, they’re completely useless now. You cannot do anything!”

But Seraphim, dropping her head to the ground due to her pain, saw how a small wound appeared on her opponent’s forehead.

Then, she smiling said, “I bet you killed that sorcerer from behind. There’s no way he lost to a fool like you!”

The hunter’s smile instantly disappeared when he heard that. He was glaring at her angrily and said, “Useless? Who beat you stupid? How dare you call me useless? What, do you want to make me angry so that time passes?”

But Seraphim, on her knees, said, “That is not necessary, you damn useless. Now you’ll see!” As she said that, her eyes shone, and she loudly shouted, “Potesta!!”

The power spell was activated, and Seraphim smiling gave.

“You are a f*****g sick. That’s why you lost!!”

The man realized that it was what the young woman would do, and taking his knife, he tried to stab his chest, but Seraphim was faster, and shaking her body with all the power of her spell, he smashed her head against the ground.

The ground below her cracked, and a deep crater appeared, but it was the hunter’s head that exploded like a watermelon after a hammer blow, causing the hunter’s life to end in an instant.

His headless body fell to the ground, and the gift disappeared, all the wounds on Seraphim’s body were still bleeding, and she was falling on her back, watching as the ceiling blurred in front of her. She calmly lost consciousness after knowing herself victorious.

In the central tower, Stella saw the movement in the city. Many Hunters went from one side to another looking for her, and a group of three were approaching dangerously towards the tower where she was.

After looking out the window, she turned to glance at Dominic. He was still sitting in the chair, waiting.

“Why don’t you go help them!?” She asked while looking at him with unmasked anger.

He smirked and glanced back at her lazily. Before he said, “I already told you, you have to unleash another of my powers, or I won’t move a f*****g muscle.”

Stella, who had a white overcoat covering her body, looked at Dominic. He was a stocky man with black hair and a smug look. He had his military boots on the table while he calmly waited for her to decide. His chest was covered by a black T-shirt, and his cargo pants were inside his boots. He was wasting his time leisurely.

He was a very attractive man. No one could deny that, especially due to his bloodline and lineage. If Stella was not used to it, she would probably be like another woman who would dazedly look at him for some time.

Still, while looking at him, she nonchalantly said, “It’s okay! But I will release whichever I want!”

Dominic stood up and stared at her as he shook his head. Seeing her, he said, “None of that. You will free the warrior!”

Stella shook her head and replied with a smirk, “No! Under no circumstances will I release the warrior!”

As soon as she said that, Dominic slapped the table, and it split due to his sheer physical strength.

He stood up suddenly and said in annoyance, “Stella, don’t be irrational. You know perfectly well that with the warrior, I could destroy all these idiots in just minutes!”

She looked at him and shook her head, and she said, “No! I will not release the warrior. Ask for another!”

Dominic looked at her and in frustration. Through clenched teeth, he asked, “How am I going to fight all those bastards without that power!?”

But Stella, with some anxiety, replied, “Do you think I’m stupid? I will not release the warrior, I will not release the assassin, and I will not release the god. You still have many powers to choose from, and I will release one of the others!”

Dominic was looking at her with a lot of frustration, a tattoo of an ancient seal glittered on his arm. He released a heavy sigh and said, “Stella, be reasonable. Those three are the best for combat. Why don’t you release them!?”
