Chapter 179: Reigning Darkness
Alexandra was not left to wallow in her self-pity for long as she saw the darkness accumulating in front of her.
[Don’t tell me this is...]
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Arioch asked.
Alexandra clicked her tongue as her thoughts got disturbed. She had put a spell to slowly heal his wound and nothing to reduce his pain. He was shivering as the spell was stitching the gash wound in his abdomen. And still, he couldn’t hold his tongue.
"Shut up and watch. Don’t advocate your stupidity," Alexandra flicked some sand inside his mouth. He started coughing and in turn, his wound hurt more and he started grunting.
Alexandra turned her attention back to the accumulating mist. To her dread, it was Maximus.
Maximus cannot leave his physical form and if he is manifesting into his physical state from nothing, that only means that Inanis has taken full control of his body.
[Good!]
"Haven’t you shown them how terrible you are, Great King?" She asked, hoping to get more of Maximus. Inanis could latch on to Maximus only because of his thoughts of vengeance. And that is where she could touch him.
And just as she expected, Maximus’ attention turned to her and he smirked. Her heart hurt seeing that smirk. That smirk is not the one that makes her annoyed and makes her heart skips at the same time. That smirk was something unfamiliar she has seen on him; something that invoked pain in her heart.
Pure vengeance—that’s what she saw on Maximus’ face now.
She could see the dark mist that was swirling around him getting dispelled a bit. Maybe Inanis has figured out what Maximus expects her to do and tries to take control of his body. But Maximus’ was not taking any of Inanis’ efforts to get control of his body.
