Witch's Daughter And The Devil's Son Chapter 520 Calling Out For The Darkness Inside Him

Chapter 520 Calling Out For The Darkness Inside Him

Drayce hurried to Seren who was lying in bed and was calling for him in her unconscious state.

"Seren," he called her as he held her delicate hand in hers. Her veil-covered face looked restless and her eyes had tears rolling down the corners of them.

"Dray, powerful black magic has been used on her. Though I had given her one elixir, she still needs your help," Drayce heard the winged man who was tied to the wall behind him.

Though Drayce heard it, he didn't even look at Aureus as all his concern was Seren. In his eyes, this winged man was nothing but a stranger who could have hurt his wife. Just by holding her hand, Drayce could feel her body was cold and her pulse was unsteady and weak.

"Her pulse must be weak and her body cold. Her body still has traces of black magic. If it has harmed me like this, she is too weak to be able to bear it. Help her before that black energy affects her core." Aureus didn't stop talking even though he was being ignored. He was just desperate to save her, "Dray, I know you don't like to use your dark powers but only that can help her now. Your mother taught you when you were a kid. Call out for him and help her." There was a desperate plea in Aureus' voice.

Though Drayce still didn't reply to him, he knew this winged man was right. He wondered how he knew about his mother and what she had taught him but this was not the right time to ask this.

Drayce put Seren's hand down as he looked at her pale face, 'Hang in there. I will make everything right.' He raised his one hand and held it a few inches up from her chest. He closed his eyes while his fingers spread as if trying to suck out something from her body.

With his eyes closed, Drayce focused on the darkness inside him which he always kept buried. He called for the one who he didn't like to see at all. 'I know you are there. I know you can hear me and you can see what is happening. Come out and help her. She needs us...she needs you...she needs your powers...' Drayce focussed but there was no response from the darkness inside him as if it was buried somewhere deep down which was not easy to find.

Drayce's forehead creased upon not getting any response. When he needed that dark part of him the most, it was trying to hide from him. 'She is my...our mate,' he said with much effort as it was difficult to call her the mate of the darkness inside him which he himself hated. 'She is our mate. We need to help her.'

Still, there was no reply and Drayce felt annoyed, 'If something happens to her, I promise I will bury you inside me forever to never let you come out. If possible, I will separate you from me and kill you. Come out!' Drayce was being impatient.

Aureus could see that nothing was working and said, "Give him something that he wants. It might bring him out."

Both were aware that his darkness only showed up whenever Drayce was in grave danger and only Drayce knew there were other times when he showed up...whenever he was intimate with Seren.

"Think about what your mother would have done. Remember the day when she helped you call him out," Aureus repeated, trying his best to guide Drayce.

Drayce decided to do what the winged man had said. He clearly knew what the darkness inside him wanted and called him for the last time, 'Erebus!' This time Drayce used his name to call him out.

"Erebus, listened to me for the last time. Forget about what I had said till now and listen to what I am saying now,' Drayce inhaled deeply, "Help me get that black magic traces out of her and I promise I will let you be with her as long as you won't hurt her. When you are with her, I will not come between you and her and let you treat her like your mate. Just come out and save her.'

As if it was what the darkness inside him wanted, it started showing up as Drayce could feel his entire being, his soul was being drowned in the darkness. His hand that he had held above Seren's chest shook and stiffened along with his entire body as the surge of strongest power pa.s.sed through his body...The power of darkness that was stronger than any kind of power in this world.

The veins on Drayce's hands and neck visibly bulged out as they looked like the mesh of dark and thin roots of the tree entwined together. Instead of blood, it looked like the darkness was running through his veins and as it was directed towards Seren's body. The darkness seeped out of his fingers like dark smoke and was getting absorbed into Seren's body.

The next moment she gasped heavily and her entire body shook wildly as if something was hurting her and the inside of her body. The newly entered darkness searched through each and every cell of her body to capture even the tiniest trace of black magic inside her and the process seemed to be painful for her weak body.

After all, it was not easy for anyone to let such a strong power reside inside them. It was only Drayce that could handle it and let it reside in his body like a va.s.sal. Other than him, only his father could control that dangerous darkness and his son had inherited the same ability from him along with inheriting that threatening darkness from him.

Soon that power of darkness absorbed all the black magic traces from Seren's body. It left her body as it returned to where it had appeared from. It returned to Daryce's body with those mesh-like veins disappearing slowly as if that darkness was going back to its hideout.

Drayce's body relaxed as he inhaled deeply and opened his eyes which changed their colour from darker to their original red colour.
