Chapter 40

Lucky 40

Scarlett felt like something inside and outside her body was changing, her skin turned a shade of tinged golden-red then turned into white. She felt like she was shedding skin yet it was not painful at all. Her skin slowly changed and become an unblemished pale white. Her red hair gown into two meters long like she didn't cut her hair for decades, she even felt like her muscles were upgraded. But in all honesty, she became prettier as if she was a goddess who descended on the earth. 

As for the inside, Scarlett felt like the power inside her cracked like an egg and released a surge of warmth and circulated inside her making her comfy. Then, the warmth reconstructed every fiber of her being and made her a superhuman. The fire that was revolving around her gradually left but the proof of changes was visible. 

Scarlett looked like a Deity who came down from the sky. Her long crimson hair rest on the ground and her glossy red skin could make any man fall in love. She was the embodiment of beauty and power. 

Scarlett successfully breakthrough and became a 2nd Advanced. This means that she became stronger and gained another Term Attribute.

All of the people who witnessed her advancement were in awe, their jaws almost dropped to the ground. Even Young Master Chen lost himself for a second, he gulped as his eyes couldn't leave Scarlett. His thirst to get her further awakened. He was like a frog lusting over a swan. 

Scarlett didn't look at any of them. Her eyes only focused on the unconscious man lying on the ground. Scarlett moved her feet walking and approaching Calix. She bent and carried her with gentleness, her movement was so smooth. She felt a crushing pain as she looked at his appearance, Calix was bleeding and he suffered broken ribs. He fainted and it was obvious that he was in deep pain. 

The temperature rose up and all of them felt a burning chill crawled on their skin. Everyone understood the graveness of the situation. Young Master Chen returned to his senses and turned furious as he realized that Scarlett was carrying Calix. He felt humiliated and wanted to cut their connection. 

"Defeat Scarlett! But don't kill her!!"

He yelled at Lok and Kakyoin.

Lok, who was dumbfounded, immediately moved and attacked her. His Term Attribute would only work if he made skin contact. The effect earlier vanished because he lost his concentration so he had to touch her again. He was cursing Calix because he was the reason why he lost his concentration. Even now, his eye was throbbing in pain. 

"You may have become a 2nd Advanced but you still can't control that power!!"

Lok raised his fist, he rushed faster than the wind and tried to hit her but something collided and burned his body. 

"Aahhhhh!!!"

He cried as the fire engulfed him, the fire started eating his whole body, and his skin melted like butter. Now, he regretted that he didn't activate his battle suit. The suit has heat resistant although it won't completely protect him from the fire but at least he won't burn that much. He rolled on the ground trying to prevent the fire from eating him but it was futile.

As for Kakyoin, he realized that he could move again and the shadow that was restraining him vanished. He looked at Scarlett and opened his mouth. The candy inside was almost melted but he could activate his spell.

"Lelolelolelolelo!!"

He cast his spell to make Scarlett wobbly, however, he didn't know that he should focus on his surroundings. A snake-like blood arrow crawled and hit his feet, Kakyoin cried as a fire started to move up and swallowed him whole. 

"Ahhh!!!"

He immediately undressed his clothes just to escape the doom, he was only wearing his underwear yet his legs and waist were burned and freshly cooked. 

He couldn't contain his tears and cried as the pain tortured him. Kakyoin and Lok were both defeated in just a minute. They couldn't fight Scarlett even though she had just breakthrough the 2nd Advancement, she is the incarnation of hell. Her godly appearance was exactly the opposite of her power. 

"Hhiii!!"

She glared at the people and they shrieked like women in a horror film. Her eyes moved around scanning them and they shuddered, they didn't want to be Lok and Kakyoin who were groaning on the ground. 

Then, Scarlett looked at Young Master Chen, the perpetrator of this incident. She was burning in fury, she recalled how she suffered against the enemies earlier from the school and these two 2nd Advanced. She felt like her head was going to crack because of Lok's spell, it was painful. 

"Chen, you will pay for this."

She started walking as she carried Calix, her crimson eyes represent the blood that would be shed.

"No No No. Guys help me!!"

Young Master Chen looked around as he commanded his lackeys. But instead of charging to Scarlett, the lackeys started scampering away like rats. Young Master Chen started sweating as he realized that he was alone now.

"Ungrateful bastards!! I pay you all of my money and this is what you give me!! Hah!!"

He said angrily just to front that he was not afraid but deep inside, he wanted to run and escaped just like them. Even now, he wanted to, but he knew that Scarlett would follow him. His intuition was telling him that this woman would kill him. 

"Ah fuck it!!"

He didn't have a choice but to take the hidden weapon in his pants, a small handgun. As of now, this handgun didn't have the power to penetrate Scarlett because she's a superhuman, and she is wearing a battle suit. However, Young Master Chen was smirking, because he had a way to make the gun's firepower stronger. His Term Attribute.

[Chen Cudgel]

[Upgrade Term Attribute]

[Fuel: Have to touch a machine every day]

[Backlash: Will lose his taste of women if he doesn't touch a machine every day.]

"Scarlett!! I'll give you one last chance!! Become mine and I'll let you live."

Young Master Chen yelled and pointed the gun at her. Right now, this small handgun in his hands could be compared to a bazooka. Every bullet could explode like a rocket. His Term Attribute was strong, sadly Chen was a lazy bastard and didn't train his power. 

Scarlett didn't stop walking. In fact, it seemed like she didn't hear him at all. Her eyes just walked straight ahead and looked at him with hatred. 

"Y- you!!! Don't move! I said don't move!!"

Young Master Chen didn't have a choice but to pull the trigger. 

Bang!!
