Supreme Warlock System : From Zero to Ultimate With My Wives

Warlock Ch 309. You'll Still be You

Alric looked stricken. "I won't leave her."

"We don't have time for this," Cassius hissed. "Go. Now. We have less than a minute!"

Alric hesitated. His eyes darted to Selena's face, his entire body trembling.

But Cassius was done waiting.

[Telekinesis]

With a sharp flick of his wrist, Alric was suddenly yanked backward—an unseen force throwing him straight through the doorway. Before he could even react, the heavy wooden door slammed shut. A second later, a glowing shimmer spread across the surface.

Barrier magic.

Cassius turned back to them, his expression unrelenting. "No one comes in."

Alric's muffled shouting was already starting from the other side, but Cassius didn't even acknowledge it. His focus was on Damian now. "Let's go."

Victoria grinned. "Now, our turn."

Damian clenched his jaw, his body coiled tight, eyes locked onto Selena's barely breathing form. This wasn't just about stopping the poison anymore—this was a fight to keep her alive.

Evelyn had already moved, her fingers carving symbols into the air, golden runes flaring to life beneath Selena's body. The entire room pulsed with raw magic, thick and charged, setting Damian's instincts on high alert.

Victoria let out a low chuckle. "Alright, witch. Time to work your magic."

Evelyn didn't even look up. "I swear, if you rush me—"

Victoria smirked but didn't argue. Instead, she raised her hand, her nails elongating into claws with a sharp shink. Then, with a casual flick, she dragged her talon to the runes.

[Blood of Life]

Thick, glowing crimson welled up instantly, pulsing with unnatural power. It wasn't just any vampire power. It was hers—a queen's essence, filled with the kind of energy that could shatter lesser beings if they weren't prepared for it.

The moment Victoria's power hit Evelyn's runes, the symbols reacted violently. A shockwave of magic burst from the floor, the runes glowing brighter, shifting as if they were alive, devouring the raw vampire energy and purging it before funneling it toward Selena's body.

Damian felt the shift immediately. His instincts screamed that this was his moment. The poison inside Selena wasn't just lingering anymore—it was fighting back. Like some twisted parasite, it clung to her veins, resisting the influx of purified magic.

[Blood Manipulation]

His power surged forward, locking onto the toxic sludge buried inside her bloodstream. The poison pulsed—alive, angry, vicious. It wasn't just running through her body anymore; it was trying to take root, sinking its claws deeper, latching onto her organs, her heart, her lungs.

Not a fucking chance.

Damian clenched his jaw, his pulse hammering in his ears. He forced his will through her blood, commanding it to move, to expel the filth inside her. The magic fought against him, twisting, resisting. He pushed harder.

Selena twitched.

Then she coughed.

A horrible, wet, hacking sound tore from her throat, followed by a thick stream of black blood spewing from her mouth. It hit the floor with a sickening splatter.

"Shit—[Telekinesis]!"

Cassius reacted instantly, flicking his fingers. Selena's body jerked sideways, preventing her from choking on her own fluids. More blood spilled, dark, writhing, unnatural, pooling across the floor in thick, twisted clots.

Damian felt it shifting beneath his control, the poison resisting with all its might. It was trying to stay inside her, to keep infecting her, to keep killing her.

Like hell.

His eyes burned as he pushed harder, forcing the corruption out, dragging every last ounce of poison from her bloodstream, his own magic tearing it free from where it had latched on.

Selena convulsed violently, another choked cough ripping through her as more blackened blood poured from her lips.

Not enough.

It was still in her.

Still fighting.

Victoria cursed under her breath. "Her body can't produce blood this fast!"

Damian didn't hesitate.

"Cas, I need a dagger."

Cassius clicked his tongue, already reaching for his belt. He pulled out a sleek dagger and tossed it toward him. "Don't push yourself, dumbass."

Damian caught it without a second thought. "Can't promise that."

Then, he slashed his wrist open.

Blood dripped onto Evelyn's glowing runes, and the magic reacted instantly. The moment his blood touched the symbols, the golden lines twisted, shifting as they drank his essence, weaving it into the spell.

Selena shuddered, her body caught between death and survival.

Damian focused, pushing past the sting of his self-inflicted wound without breaking his spells.

Selena jerked, her body convulsing as the poison inside her fought against him. It was thick, resisting his control, clinging to her veins like it had a mind of its own.

"Damian—" Victoria's voice cut through the haze. "Keep going."

"I know what I'm doing," he growled.

His hands trembled, sweat dripping down his face, but he didn't stop. Couldn't stop.

Selena coughed again, another wave of blackened blood pouring from her lips, but it wasn't enough.

Damian gritted his teeth. "More."

Evelyn's runes pulsed, stabilizing the process, keeping the balance between Victoria's healing and his purification.

Selena's body shuddered violently.

Damian barely held on, his vision tunneling as he forced every ounce of control he had into purging the last traces of the poison. His fingers dug into his palm, keeping the wound open just long enough for Evelyn's runes to drink his blood, weaving it into the spell's foundation. It was barely enough.

Cassius huffed, his gaze flickering toward him. "I guess even if you rebirth yourself several times, you'll still be the same."

Damian barely reacted, the words registering only faintly as he concentrated on not collapsing.

Cassius clicked his tongue. "You'll still be you. Crazy. Reckless."

Damian let out a weak laugh, shaky and strained. "Thank you for the compliment."

A loud crash from outside the door.

Cassius tensed, snapping his head toward the entrance, where a surge of immense pressure crackled against his barrier. Whoever was on the other side wasn't just some random fool knocking—they were trying to break in.

Cassius grimaced, raising his hand, creating another [Barrier]

A shimmering wall reinforced itself against the onslaught. The pressure from outside increased, the barrier pulsing as Cassius pushed his magic into it.
