Chapter 230 Fight(3)

Elias looked over at Melina, letting go of Alyssa so that she could stand from his lap. He pushed himself up to his feet, feeling like his heart was about to burst out of his chest.

He followed everyone off the RV, immediately getting hit with a strong feeling in his chest.

"Do you feel it?" Melina asked him as she paused, glancing around the small, bare town. The buildings were old, the street was quiet, and the tension was overwhelming.

Elias looked down the street, letting his eyes sweep over the buildings.

The feeling was calling to him, and it was ringing from a specific spot. When his eyes fell on an old church with chipped white paint, his heart stopped for a second.

"The church," he said.

Melina followed his gaze and then nodded.

"That has to be it," she replied.

Scott scoffed. Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

"A church? What kind of sick joke is that?" he asked.

Elias ignored Scott. Nothing about this was a joke. Alaric was just down the street from them, and there was no turning back now.

Elias led his group to the church, running off adrenaline. He tried to ignore any other sensation because it would just cloud his focus.

"We should split up. Melina and I will go through the front. Tyler and Scott can go through the back. Alyssa, be nearby," he said.

He didn't know what was going to go down in the church. He didn't want Alyssa to be too far away, but he didn't want her caught in the chaos either.

"What is he doing in a church?" Melina muttered as she walked by Elias' side.

"He's a demon. It's in his nature to be blasphemous," Elias replied, warming his palms up. He would have to use as much of his abilities as he possibly could.

He couldn't hold back, even if that meant accidentally burning the church down.

Elias jumped up on the stage only for Alaric to send a bookshelf full of bibles his way. He stared at the bookshelf, putting all of his focus on it and centering his energy on protecting himself.

He stopped the bookshelf in mid-air, watching it crash to the ground in front of him. He was so shocked at his own power that he didn't see Alaric lunging at him until Alaric tackled him to the ground.

Alaric dealt a heavy punch to Elias' face, looking amused. He pinned Elias down, swinging his fists at any exposed spot.

Elias generated heat all throughout his body, burning Alaric every time that he landed a blow. He started to hit back, punching upward to knock Alaric off him.

Tyler and Scott came up and grabbed Alaric's arms, trying to immobilize him, but Alaric put up a fight.

"Do it! Kill him!" Scott shouted.

Melina appeared at Elias' side, her eyes gleaming with anger. She reached for Alaric's face, intent on ending this.

Alaric narrowed his eyes as he focused on Melina.

Suddenly, Melina cried out, grabbing her head as her knees buckled. She submitted to Alaric's demonic powers, feeling an intense, ringing pain in her head. It was so loud and painful that she couldn't even stand.

"Mel!" Tyler said, losing his focus enough for Alaric to break free from his hold.

Alaric sent Tyler flying into the pews with a wave of his hand, and Scott soon followed him.

He reached down and grabbed Melina by the hair, pulling her across the stage before yanking her to her feet.

He pulled her body against his, grabbing her throat as Elias took a step forward.

"You stay right there," Alaric hissed.

Elias froze, staring at Melina with pure worry in his eyes. How did things go wrong so quickly? He thought that they were about to finish things.

Now, it looked like Alaric was preparing to finish Melina. He couldn't let that happen, but Elias felt helpless as he stared ahead.

Melina's eyes started to flutter shut as the pressure on her throat grew worse.

"Stop!" Elias shouted, fear crackling through him like electricity.

Alaric tilted his head at Elias with a smirk on his face.
