Lucky 39
Calix crawled, his face grazed the ground, he had bruises and his left eye was slightly closing. Yet his gaze looked ahead with no hesitation, the only thing he was looking at was Scarlett's figure. He had to help her. As a man, he couldn't endure seeing his woman hurt.
"Oi oi, young man. You know that this battle is not for you. Yeah, you are quite strong but I can't feel anything inside you. In fact, if not because of Young Master Chen, I will never think that you are a Term Attribute User. I can't feel any spell inside that body of yours. Although I'm impressed that you defeated those people, man you are tough."
Lok kneeled and pulled his hair, he raised his head, Calix groaned as Lok pulled his hair with great intensity. He felt like most strands fell off his hair.
"However, you can't defeat us and you can't help Scarlett. There are limitations to everything, young man this is your limit. I suggest that you run instead. Martial Arts is not enough to defeat us."
Lok didn't have any sympathy for Calix if he continued staying, then he won't hesitate to teach him a lesson. This was a job and he had things that he needed to do. He might cripple his legs if necessary.
"Do you understand?"
He asked and smashed Calix's head against the concrete ground. He could hear that something cracked and it seemed like it was Calix's head. Lok raised Calix and saw that he was bleeding. However, the ferocity in his eyes didn't die. They glared at Lok with deep anger and for a moment Lok felt chills. He almost dropped him because of fear.
"Oi, don't look at me like that. Continue glaring at me like that and I will crack your neck."
He threatened and his voice was firm and heavy, although his back was sweating. He didn't know why but this young kid sent chills down his spine for a moment.
"Understand, hm?"
Instead of nodding, Calix gathered saliva in his mouth and spat it on Lok's face. Lok was surprised for a second before his face turned red, he was being ridiculed.
"You fucker!!"
He raised his other hand and tried to grab his neck but Calix's hand was the first to move. Despite feeling sluggish, his hand found its way and reached Lok's face. Calix smirked as he pressed his thumb into his eyeball!! Thanks to his battle suit, he had enough strength to crush his eye.
'Yes, you are a 2nd Advanced, but you are still human. And just like a human, you have the same weakness too!!'
Calix pressed his thumb deep into his brain and completely crushed his eye.
"Aaahhhhh!!!! My eye!!!"
But Calix didn't stop with just that. Since Lok is a human, then he had another weakness too. Calix did his best moving his foot, then he kicked Lok's crotch and the man further cried. The attack was not strong but it did hurt him, Calix wanted to attack more but Lok won't let it happen again.
"You!!"
"Ugh!"
Calix flew across the place and crashed into the wall, he coughed blood as his body landed on the ground. Lok kicked him with all his strength, he was furious! He started walking, he was walking awkwardly because his balls ached but his anger was far too strong. He was covering his eye with his hand but the blood slowly crept out of the cracks of his fingers.
"I will fucking kill you!!"
Lok decided to end his life… But his life was the one who's going to end here.
"Thank you, Calix."
A soft voice whispered in the air yet all of them heard it. Scarlett slowly stood as energy revolved around her with great vigor. When Calix injured Lok, the man lost his concentration and uncast his spell against Scarlett. His Vertigo Enducement spell vanished and Scarlett could think straight again. The chain that restrained her was destroyed.
Her long crimson hair fluttered and Scarlett's eyes were shining like rubies reflected by the sun. She was reaching the greater heights, at this moment.
All of the people around her felt the danger, Scarlett was like a devil who came from hell. The fire moved around her like they were following the will of its master.
Even Lok and Kakyoin sensed the threat looming over her. Lok lost his interest in Calix and confronted Scarlett. He could kill Calix easily but Scarlett was different, she was going to a new level.
He couldn't believe that a miracle was going to happen. His face contorted in anger.
"She's going to breakthrough!! Impossible!! She is just an 18-year-old woman! She can't reach 2nd Advanced in that age!!"
Lok spat with hatred as his eye bleed in jealousy, he couldn't accept that Scarlett could reach 2nd Advanced at such a young age. This was not fair. A talented woman like her is not fair!!
Kakyoin opened his mouth too, he knew that they would die if they let her breakthrough. He tried to cast his spell but he realized that no words came out of his mouth. Then he looked at his shadow and felt that something was controlling him.
"You can't stop our Lady. This is a rare opportunity for her to become stronger. If you move, I will kill you."
Said by the shadow. He was excited and elated to learn that Lady Scarlett was going to a breakthrough at such a young age. She already got her power when she was fifteen yet in just three years, she would acquire her second spell too. This is a peak talent and perhaps Luck helped her too.
"She will become a great individual…"
The shadow was enthusiastic to learn that Lady Scarlett would become a 2nd Advanced.
All of her hardwork, all of her suffering, it was all for this moment.

When Lok said that he couldn't feel any power inside Calix, he was right. Because Calix's power didn't come from him, it came from his surroundings and helped him in every way. One of the powers of his luck is to slightly alter the fate. Scarlett's advancement was scheduled for five years, when she's twenty. However, because of the connection(sex) they had, Scarlett's fate was altered in a positive way. In just a week of having sex with Calix, she acquired her 2nd Advanced. She was indeed lucky, and it was because of Calix's power. His Luck Term Attribute affected the woman more than him. In short, the luck mostly focuses on the girls!!
