The Veracity

65. Flashback

Suffocating,

Zhan felt extremely suffocating as he felt his throat begin squeezed by the man, with a wicked smile on his face.

 "What a strong power this child has, what a gem," The man said, "No wonder this child is a future necromancer." 

Zhan struggled against the hold and moved his body but nothing happened the man had an iron grip on his neck. 

"Zion...Please just leave him please" Lilith Zhan's mother, said with a shivering voice.

Zion glanced at the woman with a wicked smile, "Killing you was never my intention, but you interfered with my goal, I had a soft spot for you but you bought it upon yourself."

The woman named Lilith cried while the other two Victor and Eleanor just stared at everything happening like dolls.

The man glanced at Zhan one more time and sighed, "I never wanted to become like this...but alas I have no choice I am just trying to survive."

The man said and squeezed Zhan's throat tighter, Zhan's body tried to struggle but it was of  no use his eyes rolled back as he felt life leaving his body but before his soul could leave his body, 

His mother Lilith closed her eyes and gathered her energy in the palm of her hand before hitting Zhan with it

Zion threw the child on the ground and saw ut being engulfed by the black clouds, the child screamed and yelled before becoming silent.

"What have you done? you killed your own child?" Zion asked as he glared at the woman.

Lilith looked at Zion, but her gaze was not filled with hate or anger she looked at him casually, she was not angry with Zion she can never be angry with him.

As a grim reaper, she was there when Zion was cursed, she has witnessed his sufferings and his pain, and the reason why he is here and she knows all he is doing is trying to survive that's it.

That's why she didn't interfere with him even after knowing that he was summoned again she let him be cruel and do whatever he wanted but now when it came to her child she had to take action.

"I am sorry Zion," She said, "I know what you wanted to do but I can't let my child suffer the same fate as you, I would rather have him dead than letting you destroy him."

She said, Zion, clenched his fist and glared at the woman he didn't want to kill her not her at least, but she chose to die, "Die bitch." was all he said before he walked out.

The woman collapsed on the ground, after she married a human she had to give up her powers because of which her body had become weak and frail and after giving birth to Zhan and Kexing two strong necromancers, filled with dark powers who her body had become extremely weak. 

And in this state, she summoned her powers forcefully, which made her feel immense pain but she couldn't let her child die, so she didn't feel any remorse.

She collapsed on the ground and saw Eleanor and Victor walking towards the child, she couldn't do anything anymore because her time was up, so she just said one name before closing her eyes forever.

"Y..anli" 

Victor sat down in front of the child and checked his breathing, "He is alive."

Eleanor looked at Victor without any shine in her eyes, "Master had ordered us to kill the necromancers...so we should kill him as well."

"Right if we do this" Victor said, "Master will bring our child back." 

The young couple who had lost their child just months after he was born were desperate to bring their little treasure back, even if they have to kill, they were ready to do that.
