"Adora," Ifrit called out as the reaper placed the scythe by her neck and she flinched before looking at them and Kyris grabbed onto Alix's arm and Alix sighed.
"Now, now, you smell as nice as ever, you are still fresh meat aren't you?" the reaper asked as he sniffed Adora and Alix gnashed his teeth.
"Let her go," Kyris said as his eyes glowed blue and the reaper glanced at him with a smirk on his face before chuckling.
"Now, why should I do that?" he asked as he passed a finger across Adora's face and Adora glanced at him and he exhaled deeply.
He was tall, had short blonde hair, muscular, piercing red and purple eyes, a black and gold hood that formed from a cape, and his scythe was gold and black filled with many markings along with a necklace and a few rings.
"I came here to do a job and that's exactly what I intend to do and none of you here can stop me, you can ask why, but the answer is obvious, she cannot escape me from this close and if you guys even try to get any closer, I will pierce this through her," he said.
"What do you want?" Alix asked and the reaper looked at him with his eyes narrowing.
"So you're the one who piqued his interest as well?" he inquired.
"What are you talking about?" Alix asked as the reaper's eyes glowed purple while staring at Alix, Adora glanced at him and her eyes began glowing red, releasing energy before the reaper's eyes so he wouldn't notice anything unnatural about Alix.
"What I am saying is that the leader of your current enemies, he took an interest in you as well, well other than little beauty here," he said, squeezing her tightly with his hand glowing black, causing her pain and she sighed.
"I thought he didn't want you guys to hurt her," Alix said and he chuckled.
"He ordered us not to kill her, but he also said we could use any means necessary as long as he can heal her afterward, see, the thing is, he will go to any length to get what he wants and if she keeps resisting as well as the rest of you, he will kill all of you, you might be strong enough to face those who fight for him, but in front of him, you are all just a bunch of puppets," he replied, and Alix scoffed.
"Move an inch and this goes right in her neck," he said, pressing the sharp tip of his scythe against her neck and blood began dripping from it onto her clothes.
"I will kill you..." Alix mumbled and Ifrit glanced at him after hearing since he was standing right beside him.
"You... What are you hiding?" the reaper asked and Adora chuckled as they stared at her and she glanced at him.
"You can kill me if you want, I won't say anything," she responded as he lifted her up in the air and she began floating with her body under his control.
"Alix, don't do anything hasty, Adora may be strong, but she knows she's in his clutches; we need to think this through," Ifrit advised.
"I know, don't worry, I'm thinking a lot," he replied, as Ifrit sighed.
"You and your team keep getting in his way, now he knows for certain you are hiding something, one way or the other, he is going to bend us all to his will, you would be surprised with what he is doing now and what he is going to do next, you will break, all of you, also, there really is something weird about you..." he said while looking at Alix whose eyes began glowing red as Adora bared the pain he was putting her in.
He had the power to control the darkness around his scythe, inflicting immense pain on others and the power to summon an undead familiar.
"Take her back to him, he will be able to break her," a guy in a hood said as he appeared beside the reaper, he glanced at him and then sighed.
"Looks like my fun will be over soon," he said as Adora's eyes began glowing red along with her body and his eyes widened as he looked at her then brought her closer to him and sniffed her.
"Hey, what did you do?" he asked and she looked at him.
"What's going on?" Nina asked.
"Your friend here has many more secrets than one," he responded.
"We know," they said and he left staring at them.
"And yet you trust her?" he asked.
"We don't care, we all have our demons to deal with, right now, you are getting me on my nerves, let her go," Alix responded and the reaper chuckled.
"Is that so? Then, if I am getting on your nerves so much, you should at least try and get her," he said as his body began releasing a darker aura.
"Enough of this nonsense, if Vellon comes here, it's going to be a problem and he told us all to not cause any more trouble that he has to clean up, you know how he is when he is angry," the other guy said and the reaper looked at Alix then sighed.
"Fine, I know, well, I guess our little chat will have to wait for another time, but we will be taking her, and if you really care about the princess, you will be wise not to try and take her, because she will get hurt if you try, and I might hurt her so badly that she will take a very long time to heal, so I suggest you don't try to follow," he replied.
"You are not leaving with her, no matter what," Alix said as the air around them got heavier and Alix's body started glowing bright red and purple.
The reaper looked at him and his eyes, shook at the intimidating look around his body as well as in his eyes and the others looked at Alix along with Adora and she smiled at him then he disappeared.
