Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 74

In the vast perimeter of every part of the magic realm, 200 thousands armies of undead scattered everywhere, spreading terror to everyone. Above all else, they should fear the undead, who were possessed by an evil, vengeful spirit. Even the Goblin Lord Hammond cowers in fear and leaves the war without notifying Samael, then runs towards his secret passage that leads to a safe cave together with the other goblins. The Goblin Lord senses the threat of death, so he leaves in the middle of the war and hides.

Demon Lord Samael notices the Goblin Lord’s absence. Well, he didn’t need the cowardly goblins anymore because they are just his useless pawns and a nuisance in the war. Now that he already controls his two sons, he will become more invincible.

Near the southern part of the magic realm, Zelix, one of the dark magna trio, looked at the sea of undead and a creepy smile spread across his lips. Seeing all the people's dread faces gives him a power boost. He laughed devilishly and flew higher above the ground. His dark red eyes glimmered with excitement as an idea popped up in his head. Without hesitation, he cast a spell, and then four portals appeared in front of the armies of undead. Little by little, the armies of undead appeared in front of the four broken walls in every part of the magic realm.

Everyone’s faces filled with terror-stricken as they looked at the armies of undead that appeared suddenly. They tremble in fear and eyes widened in shock as they notice the undead in a skeleton form emitting a murderous intent were running towards them!

The sudden turn of events surprised Xandra and everyone, because the undead shouldn’t have arrived early.

“Someone opened a portal,” Xandra uttered, and held Cybelle’s hand tightly.

“It might be the demons,” Cybelle said. Xandra hummed.

Xandra, Cybelle, Michelle and the other warriors of Northern Land hold out their weapons, then attack the undead altogether without fear. Screams filled the entire place as they desperately tried to annihilate all the undead. But the undead were hard to defeat, causing some warriors to die, then turn into one of the undead.

Xandra and Cybelle fought back to back while protecting each other from the undead’s attack. After all, it wasn’t an easy fight, and they needed to fight with all their might or else, they’re going to die. Gasping for air, Xandra uses her infinity power to protect everyone.

At the eastern land, Elaine and the other Archangels fought the undead using their holy power that turns the undead, but they can’t turn all the undead in one go. They are having a hard time defeating all the undead.

Some warriors stood frozen while looking at the running undead towards them. They were all shaking in fear, and they thought it was the end of them all. But Stephen stepped in front of them and shouted, “Do you want to die without fighting?! Listen, everyone! The sextuplets are doing their best to save the entire magic realm! And all we could do is to fight with them! If you are a true warrior, FIGHT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT AND LET’S SAVE THE MAGIC REALM TOGETHER!”

Because of Stephen’s words, all the warriors conquered their fears and ran towards the undead while screaming, “YEAH!!! LET’S FIGHT!!!” Stephen smiled and followed the others to help annihilate the enemy troops of undead. He took out his sword and swung to the undead, who were approaching him. But it didn’t die with just one hit, so he transformed into his half-human, half-werewolf form, then howled and swung the sword to the undead, and with just one blow, the undead split in half. He repeats the action while dodging the attacks of the undead who use power.

Suddenly, a huge black dragon appeared and breathed fire on the undead. Elaine’s face lit up and smiled because she remembered the dragon. It was the dragon they fought in the mortal realm! Alice sends the dragon to help them!

“Everyone, that’s Alice dragon!” Elaine uttered, and the Archangels sighed in relief. Knowing that Alice sent one of her dragons it brought warmth to Elaine’s heart. Because of it, she had more courage to fight the undead fearlessly.

In the western land, falling debris scattered everywhere, and some houses were still on fire. Smoke covered the entire place, and they barely saw the running undead. Fortunately, the undead’s red eyes, like a silencer, glimmered in the dark.

Sabrina, Lucia, Cyn and the other warriors fought the undead fearlessly. With Sabrina’s staff who can devour monsters, all warriors fought with all their might to save their land. Their fears vanished and determination to win the war surged within their hearts. In their eyes, Sabrina is their savior, and they must follow her lead.

However, Sabrina knew the limits of the staff and she’s worried this will not end well with them. To prevent everyone from panicking, she didn’t tell everyone that once the staff reached its limit, she couldn’t use it for a day. That’s why she uses her witch power and not just depends on the staff's power. She hopes that Alice’s ritual will finish soon.

Meanwhile, Zelix saw all the happening below and laughed devilishly. He teleported into the central city of southern land and watched the angels fight the undead. Some angels who died dissipate into dust. The southern land is in total chaos. Then he felt a familiar aura around the half-ruined castle in the center, and he found himself inside the castle in front of a protected white door. He broke the spell that binds the door easily and entered the dim room which suddenly lit up.

A lying, unmoving silhouette caught his sight and froze when his gaze fixated on the face of an angel—no, it’s a face of a beautiful goddess, sleeping peacefully in the bed like a sleeping beauty. He silently walked towards the sleeping beauty and stared at her face closely. There’s no sign of movements or waking up. It’s like the goddess fell into a deep slumber. He put his hand on Willow’s chest and felt a faint heartbeat. It’s like she’s dead. His heart was pounding loudly and swallowing nervously. He backed away in shock when images flashed in his head.

Suddenly, he felt an unbearable pain in his head because of the scene he saw. He grunted and held his head, trying to ease the pain.

He is the reason Willow fell into a coma. And he shouldn’t have felt guilty because he did the right thing, but his heart says the opposite. He clutched his chest when it ached.

He touched his wet face and looked at his hand. “Why am I crying? Why do I feel guilty?” he murmured unbelievably. Looking at Willow made his heart ache for her.

He couldn’t fathom why he felt guilty. After all, he wanted Willow to die. That’s what he wishes for. But he’s hesitating because he wants Willow to live—to be with him. What’s wrong with him? He must be insane!

“W-Willow…” he called but never got a reply. His hand had a mind of its own and slowly caressed Willow’s innocent face and unexpectedly, his heart pounding inside his chest. He thought his heart would never beat again. The emotions he buried a long time ago surge like a tsunami—it’s hard to halt. He thought his love for Willow was already gone. He shook his head in disbelief and cursed under his breath.

Suddenly, Willow fluttered her eyes open and met his gaze. He quickly backed away in surprise. He didn’t utter a word and just stared at the woman, who looked at him coldly. Chill runs down his spine as he notices the change in Willow’s aura. Her forest green eyes held no emotion as cold as ice. In just a blink of his eyes, the room temperature went down to zero degrees and before he knew it, snow-ice filled the room.

Next thing he knew, Willow was choking him. He wiggled and used his full strength to get away from Willow then teleported out the room but Willow followed him and punched him hard. He fell to the ground and smashed into the walls.

Now, the battle starts between Willow and Zelix!

“Die!” Willow uttered coldly and attacked Zelix nonstop using her icy-vines with thorns. They exchanged some powerful attacks, and neither one of them surrendered. Zelix felt chills as his eyes bore at Willow’s icy expression. Suddenly, he felt a pang of pain in his chest. He was the reason Willow became cold.

However, he left with no choice but to fight Willow. After all, they are enemies and he should set aside his personal feelings and never let it control his emotions.

“I’m sorry, Willow. I should’ve listened to my brothers.” he murmured while dodging Willow’s attack.

“A demon like you should perish in this world.” Willow said coldly and wrapped Zelix’s body with her vines tightly. Zelix stared at her eyes while smiling faintly. She looked at him with a deadly glare, but when she saw the gleam in Zelix’s dark eyes, she hesitated to attack him because a memory flashed in her head. A memory of her together with Zelix.

At the southeast border, Azrael, with his three spirits, fought the undead. While Val, Damona, and Demonise fought Helix, Drelix and Damon. The fight between mates is too intense and nerve-racking for Val and Damona. They didn’t want to fight the brothers, but they had no choice because they would do everything to bring them back.

As for Demonise, she didn’t hesitate to fight Damon and the undead. Amongst the sextuplets, she’s the most heartless in fighting. An enemy is an enemy. When her blood-thirst gets the best of her, no one can stop her to annihilate all the demons.

Meanwhile, the black dragon stayed under Alice to protect her from the demon’s attack. When Alice finished the ritual, she didn’t waste any time and released the arc of holy light—their only ray of hope to eliminate all the undead in one go.

“TURN ALL THE UNDEAD!” Alice chanted with full force and spread the holy light across the entire magic realm.

A blinding light covered the entire magic realm except the part where Demon Lord Samael and the other demons were standing. Everyone stopped attacking and covered their eyes because of the blinding light. The groaning and grumbles of the undead echoed in the entire magic realm as they dissipated into dust.
