Married To The Mad Vampire Lord novel Chapter 488

Chapter 488: The orga inside the cell

Evenly watched in horror as Rav devoured and killed the two. It was a sickening sight, and she pushed Angel’s head back behind her skirt to keep him from looking. She didn’t even try to stop Rav from killing the men, they had brought themselves here, but her worry was entirely for Rav, whose condition was fragile.

Before Rav finished killing them, the corruption had already begun consuming him all over again. He staggered back from the dead, scattered bodies and began to cough violently, his entire body shaking. He tried not to lose himself to it, but the battle inside his chest was slipping from his grasp. He dragged himself farther away from the corpses, forcing distance between himself and Evenly and Angel, yet every movement sent excruciating pain tearing through him.

"Rav," Evenly called softly, noticing the way his body began to twist against the floor as he groaned.

"Don’t... don’t come close to me. I am losing control again... I don’t think I can fight this anymore, Evenly," Rav cried out, his voice hoarse and breaking. His body had fought the corruption for hours, and he no longer had the strength to hold it back. Throughout the night in that locked room, something had been eating him from the inside, and now his resistance was failing.

"Rav, you can do this. Just fight it a little longer, before the duke comes back. He... he is going to help you," Evenly urged from where she stood, torn between running to him and shielding Angel from the sight unfolding before her.

"I... I am sorry, Evenly. I... I—ugh—so, so sorry. I wish... ahh... I wish I never had to leave you like this... so sorry..." he choked out. Then, before she could say another word, he forced himself to his feet, something slipping from his pocket as he did, and he stumbled toward the stairs. He fell, caught himself, fell again, but kept rising, pushing himself farther from her because he knew he was losing the battle all over again.

He heard her footsteps chasing after him. That was why, the moment he reached the front entrance, he swung the door closed with the last strength he had and locked it from the outside to trap her safely within.

Then he collapsed to the ground, and the rogue transformation consumed him completely, a raw, agonized scream tearing out of his throat.

Meanwhile, Josh, who had entered the dungeon part through an entrance from another building attached to the castle, held his refill and torch in both hands to see where he was walking. His boot sank into the dirty water that was gathered around the corridor, and he hissed in disgust.

He soon arrived at the cells inside the dungeon, and not knowing which one his woman was in, he called out her name, to which Cordelia answered immediately.

"Over here, Josh!"

Josh heard her reply and smiled to himself as he hurried toward where it came from. He soon reached the cell she was in. Relief washed over him.
