Chapter 448: Death Comes For Thee
Alicia narrowed her eyes as she studied Bishop. There was a small amount of blood bleeding from his ears, telling her that she had been effective to a certain amount. Curious, she directed even more power at Bishop.
"You will obey me," she hissed, stepping forward. "Kill your friend, and then kill yourself." In some cases, she had to dumb down her commands. Too many at once could overload a person’s brain.
Bishop’s body turned tense, his hands twitching at his sides. Like it was completely against his will, his hands raised until they were, once again, clutching his skill. The smile on his face had completely disappeared, only to be replaced with a painful expression.
Blood started to drip from his nose as Libby made a soft sound of distress from within her mother’s protective embrace. Even Pride looked at him with concern on his face.
"Yes," hissed Alicia, her eyes going wide with madness as she stepped forward. Her head was held high like she was some type of queen stepping up to take out her enemy. "Obey me. Stop resisting, and you will live."
Everyone was looking at Bishop as his knees buckled. With sick fascination, they waited for him to obey the command. However, with his knee inches away from the floor, he froze.
"Did you really think that it would work?" he demanded, coming to his feet. Wiping away the blood from his nose, he cracked his neck from side to side. "Pride told you that it wouldn’t. And yet, you still had to try. I would give you points for perseverance, but at this point, you are just pathetic."
"I told you, your powers won’t work on him," said Pride, the half smirk on his face promising pain. "Not to mention, he is one of mine. While he might not have a strong spirit power, he does have enough to shield against your attempts."
"I don’t understand," whispered Alicia as she staggered back. "It should have worked."
