Before leaving Cas, he wanted to make sure that the girl was breathing or not. It was a justification he gave himself to ease his guilt.
Despite wearing two layers of gloves, he could feel icy-cold body at his fingertips. Her turquoise eyes, which were gleaming earlier, are now soulless. The girl didn't have a pulse or M2 magic.
"Veronica! See you later. "
He stood up and moved to the exit door.
"Ring! Ring! Ring." His wristwatch started ringing. He read the caller's name, and lines of frowns were visibled on his temple.
"Hello! " He accepted the call. "What emergency comes when you are calling me in the middle of my business? Butler, can't you handle things on my behalf?" His frustration was clearly showing. "Why did I pay you a million pisa if you can't work properly? Incompetent. "
"You are disappointing!"
The butler didn't utter a single word until his master calmed down.
"So, why did you call me? "
"Weell, I was asking when you will arrive with Mylady. Do I ask the chef to prepare something special? "
"No Need!"" He yelled.
"Pardon!
"The girl—" He gazed at her last time before responding to him. "The. girl. is. dead. "
On the other hand, Butler understood what had occurred. So his last gleam of hope vanished. Eros wasn't in the mood to chat, so he hung up first.
The guard Cas finally came. They were 5 men with broad shoulders, a bulging chest, curved legs, and no hair on their heads.
All were around 6'5 feet tall. It was like watching men come out of the gym after a good cardio workout.
Surprisingly, everyone looked very similar, as if they were all brothers from the same mother.
*Crash! * The first brother smashed the glass door with his fist.
Hearing the sound of glass shattered, Eros was infuriated. Whoever they were, misfortune was awaiting them today.
"You dared to show up now! " He studied those security guards who arrived so, so late. Eros felt antagonistic towards them. His corrupted mind wasn't bound by morals or limitations.
His dark aura—deeper than a shade of black—is emerging from his body. It enveloped the room, corrupting the air.
The security guards felt something in their throats as they were unable to breathe. It sent chills down their spines. Neither could run nor withstand Eros power.
These bastards should be punished for their misdeeds. It was their fault that he had to make such a bet.
' Indeed, it was their mistake. These guys were the murderers of my child's mother. Bloody cripples! '
He hadn't had to feel those complex emotions: grief, disappointment, resentment and guilt towards himself. When he could channel all his emotions to burn the world, he didn't need to feel it.
"You moth*r fucker!" In the blink of an eye, Eros grabbed two bodyguards' necks and pushed them to the wall.
*Bang bang. * Their heads smashed against the concrete wall, making a big dent. The second brother lost his consciousness while blood was oozing out like a fountain. The first brother was yelling in excruciating pain.
*Crack, crack.* He smashed their heads over and over till they stopped struggling.
An average human would die from it, but mutant bones were three times stronger than humans. Therefore, they couldn't die easily.
The third brother begged in a dreadful voice. "Please have mercy, Lord! Show mercy to us."
He dumped two brothers and shifted his attention to the third brother. The man was convulsing like a puppy in the rain, and watching that, he chuckled menacingly.
Meanwhile, the fourth brother tried to escape by crawling.
"No justice. No god can save you. I, the one who will decide your fate,"He announced.
Both brothers gulped his throat in anguish. Their desire to escape was written on their faces, yet their feet weren't cooperating with the wish.
Eros, one of the spell, paralysed prey within a radius of 100 metres. He named it 'Jinx Mind'. They heard Eros' voice, which was the first ingredient for it. The second was a dark haze that needed to be surrounded within a 100-metre radius. When both steps met, and his enemies manipulated by a great fear.
Eros didn't necessarily need to chant out an apprentice spell. Mutants have M2 magic affinity could become magus. The ranks of magus were categorised: apprentice, master, elite, and Nova magus.
So using an apprentice spell was a piece cake for him.
He grabbed the third brother's collar, who was petrified by his glare. Something the security guard felt was hard on his chest. His sense of smell was lost as he couldn't sniff the metallic odour.
"Why?" His muscle was ripping out, and he screamed in intense pain. As the monster was squeezing his heart, the bodyguard's expression turned darker and solemn. Followed by a body with no soul.
For the last time, he felt air penetrating through his chest. The next second, tranquilly overtook his mind. He was gone like his two brothers and probably doing leg day in heaven.
Eros was crushing his heart violently. The soft tissue of the heart reminded him of the girl's rosy lips. He must not think about that, or he would be miserable again.
'It's their fault. They are the ones who kill your, girl. Kill them. Kill! Kill! Die!' The words of the devil whispered in his head.
The fourth brother collapsed under the mind-haze spell. The last brother almost peed in his pants.
His eyes peered at the slave, who was responsible for their adversity. He was having mixed emotions: guilt and grief.
Under the deathly silence, he resigned his fate to the devil. The monster was coming closer and closer. Soon he saw a glimpse of hope cornered in the room. He blinked a couple of times in disbelief.
"Master, l-looked back. " He mumbled and was crawling in another direction.
Ignoring the words, Eros grabbed his neck.
"Your four friends died! Tell me. How do you wish to die?" The evil lord himself gave him an offer.
Right now, to save himself and his brothers lives, he had to inform the great lord.
"My wish is to look behind for a second. You can execute me afterwards. I beg you, master, " he requested with pleading eyes.
"Very peculiar wish. But I can make an exception for you. "
He turned around, and his cornered lips turned upward. He dropped the man. His mind, which was hazy with darkness, turned clear.
Seeing the golden light dancing upon Veronica's body. As if she were a nymph in the magical world. The intense light was getting brighter and brighter, blinding Eros's eyes.
This was his second time watching this. The first time he watched the first Harry Potter movie was when Old Phoenix was reborn.
"Is. she . reanimated?" He asked himself with bewilderment.
