Xero caught Cerys with about as must care in the world as he would have given them earlier - which was essentially entertaining the idea of shoving her and the watermelon demon back into the box. For his part, Cerys just looked mortified and that was a good enough of a reason for Xero to continue just holding her. It wasnât even ay painful gripping and it wasnât like the fox demon was doing much in retaliation.
Wordlessly, he accepted the nullification powers from Myst as she did her magic again. To say the least, she didnât look that bad. Wild hair, a fierce personality. Lots of little details Xero had never considered before, but now that he was entertaining it. Myst was rather good looking.
She was also busy with her own speech with Evangeline. Xero shifted his focus back to Cerys before deciding to let her go. There was nowhere else to go and Xero had lost most of his motivation to really fight after Evangeline casted her whole spell thing. Either way, Cerys made amazing coats, had a nice sense of fashion, and a stark personality when she wasnât terrified. In addition, the way her hair shown in the blast explosion was quite alluring, her ever caring cling to the watermelon.
All lovely, but Xero just sorta just pushed the watermelon and the fox demon behind the damaged bar, âJust stay here, Iâll figure out what to do with you later.â
The problem was there was no problem. He was in the midsts of the fight of his life and yet he wanted absolutely nothing to do with it. Stray thoughts raced through his mind, having altogether nothing to do with combat and more concerning other demons. Even if Evangeline managed to win this, the fish demon had switched sides, Cerys never liked her, maybe the watermelon demon was forever loyal, but the point was that no one trusted Evangeline anymore. That was far beyond the normal spectrum of victory, knowing that heâd completely totalled any hope of her every managing a decent relationship again should have been amazing.
And Erika actually looked pretty hot when she was p*ssed.
Xero angrily kicked at a wall before drawing weapons again before materializing by Myst and Erika, straying his gaze mostly on Evangeline.
âUse the nullification now, I have a better idea,â Xero proposed, âWe know that this fight will just be ever happening and in order to finally get rid of Evangeline, we need more time. These ten minutes you can get me will be sufficient to construct the void portal from earlier.â Flashes of the red room fight were already prevalent within this, and last time, Evangeline was able to contain him in a time loop - and that was perfect.
âIâll construct a time loop, not magically like normal, but a mechanical one that gives me full control over the setting. It would be akin to putting her in a perpetual sleep for eternity. If she isnât conscious, then there is no powers to use. Thatâs how we win this once and for all.â
