Alawis's mind reeled in shock. "No...that can't happen."
Valtor's smirk grew wider. "Oh, but it will. And there's nothing you can do to stop it."
With a sudden surge of adrenaline, Alawis struggled against Valtor's grip. But he held firm, his demonic strength overwhelming.
"You see, Alawis, A demon's greatest weakness is his love for his mate,And it's same for Niel," Valtor sneered. "And I'll exploit that weakness to destroy him.
Alawis's eyes blazed with determination. "Never. I won't let that happen."
Valtor chuckled. "We'll see about that."
Valtor vanished with her and reappeared in a familiar hall. "Remember this place?"
Alawis looked around, struggling against Valtor's grip. "It's the hall where I first met Niel."
Valtor laughed maniacally. "Correct! And it will be the same hall where you'll lose him for eternity."
Valtor's grip tightened, cutting off Alawis's air supply. She felt the pain of her lungs burning, death looming near yet far away.
With a twisted smile, Valtor conjured another dagger and stabbed her repeatedly. Alawis's bloodied body hung limp, held up only by Valtor's grasp.
He shook her, and Alawis moaned in agony.
"Now it's time for death, Alawis," Valtor declared.
Alawis faintly smiled. "You can't kill me."
Valtor's response sent chills down her spine. "Wrong, Alawis. I know how to erase a dead human from existence itself."
Alawis's eyes widened in horror. "You're lying...it's not true," she stuttered.
Valtor's sadistic smile grew. "You know, Alawis, I like you. You always ask for proof, and I love testing theories.
Valtor raised his hand, and black demonic flames erupted. "But I have to warn you this will inflict pain even a demon can't endure.
His hand moved closer to Alawis.
a faint rumble shook the ground. The air trembled with an ominous energy.
Valtor's eyes flickered with unease. "No...it can't be,not yet.
Alawis's heart leapt with hope. "Niel..."
The darkness seemed to part, and Niel emerged, his eyes blazing with fury.
