Chapter 218 The Sickle

[1. "Crush the Compass Feba, you are the only one who has a chance to kill Rick. I hope I can depend on you." (+2 Hearts.)

2. Get the fuck out of here Feba, or I will start hating you! (+0 Hearts.)]

Jack looked at the options and quickly clicked the first option, for him the hearts didn't matter anymore as he could see his death in front of him.

Even if he had a compass then he would be transported to the snowy Everest and it would take at least an hour for the medical experts to arrive.

Jack knew that he wouldn't be able to survive for more than fifteen minutes with this wound on his chest.

The things that mattered to Jack were his girls and keeping their lives safe. He has previously asked his truth meter and knew that Rick would kill all of his girls if he didn't intervene.

That was the reason why he came to this place to get his hands on the Ring of Power and give it to Vieva. He knew that giving the ring to Vivea increased the chance of killing Rick.

However, he failed in his mission and now his only hope was Feba, she was the only one capable enough that could keep his girls safe.

Although Jack wasn't a hundred per cent sure that Feba would be able to prevent Rick from killing his girls, however, this was the least he could do. He could only hope for the best from here.

"Crush the Compass Feba, you are the only one who has a chance to kill Rick. I hope I can depend on you."

Jack said and felt warm tears on his face. Feba was crying over him and her tears were landing on his face.

"No, I can't."

Feba didn't wanna leave Jack alone as she had found a deep love for him. She knew that the ghost lady would kill Jack if she left.

The Ghost Lady was bulletproof and nothing seemed to work against her. She even emanates some kind of cold that could chill one's bones and her gaze is enough for a normal human's body to stop moving from terror.

She was like an incarnate of death herself in front of the two. Her sickle was dyed red from god knows how many bodies and she seemed to be attracted to the golden compass that Twinkle gave them.

Previously Jack tried to save Feba and got hurt instead. And Febe blamed herself for his wounds.

"Only if I wasn't so weak then you would never be in this condition," Feba said and rested her head on his chest.

She could feel his warm blood on her face, however, she didn't care. Jack was her love and she wanted to die with him, she would never be able to bear the pain of knowing that he died saving her.

If she never followed him here in the first place then this wouldn't have happened. Before leaving them on Everest Jack told them to not come behind him and wait for him.

However, they didn't hear him and became a burden after Jack told them to keep walking and she was the one that caused him to stop and rest. If they hadn't wasted time on stopping then the ghost lady might have never seen them in the first place.

And Jack wouldn't be hurt this bad.

"Feba, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault, you must go back!" Jack said with a choked voice.

His every word took more power out of and blood continued to flow out of his body, turning his face pale.

If it was anyone else at his place then they would have already died. However, because of the Ero Meter, Jack has gotten more vitality and stamina than normal people. And that was the reason why he was still speaking even after getting wounded so badly.

*clank*

As clanking noises resounded in the hallway. Both Jack and Feba moved their head and looked at the ghost lady.

She was stepping towards them slowly while letting her sickle scratch against the cold floor. Her sickle created deep marks on the floor as she moved.

The stones of the hallway were not weak, Jack had previously examined them and found out that even bullets didn't leave marks on them, so one could tell how sharp the ghost's sickle was for it to create such scratches.

Jack and Feba had no chance against the ghost lady if she swiped now, both of them would surely die under her attack.

In front of the sickle, their bodies were like mud and it could slice them in half easily.

Feba looked at the Ghost lady coming towards them and gritted her teeth, she knew that both of them would die if things stayed like this.

She wanted to be with him in his final moment, however, she also wanted to complete his last wish.

"Jack, I promise to keep them safe." Feba's eyes turned red as she took out a compass and looked at it for a few seconds in reluctance.

lightsnοvεl "I love you, Jack!" She yelled and was about to crush the compass when the Ghost Lady swung its sickle from the back side and to Feba's hand.

As Feba's body was not within reach the Lady decided to first get the compass out of her hand. And the ghost lady also didn't wanna slice the compass in half. That is why she hit Feba's hand from the back side of the sickle.

So the Compass can fall away from her.

Although The Ghost Lady had only yelled and grunted till now, she was surprisingly smart. She even calculated that it would be better to hit the compass from the back side of the sickle.

On top of that, she didn't even apply much force to her swing.

Both Feba and Jack looked at the Ghost Lady with their eyes widened. Dread covered Jack's face as he looked at the compass on the corner of the hallway.nove-lB/1n

The hallway was about four meters wide and they were sitting in the middle of the hallway, while the compass was at the very end about two meters away from Feba.

While the Ghost Lady was about half a meter away from them, there was no way they would be able to avoid her sickle from this distance.

However, what saved them was the Ghost Lady's focus was on the compass instead of them, otherwise they would have already been dead.

"I will stop her, go and get that compass," Jack whispered in Feba's ears and looked at the Ghost Lady again.

Feba when heard his words looked at him reluctantly and then looked at the compass. Clenching her teeth she jumped towards the compass trying to make as little noise as possible.

Jack on the other hand picked up the automatic rifle in his hand, he was gonna use it as a support to stand up. Since he has already lost so much blood it was even hard for him to stand up.

However to his surprise blood had stopped flowing out of his wound, and he could even feel it healing.

He gave credit to Ero Meter, however, this didn't make him happy as his death was already written. There was no way he would be able to get alive of the situation.

The only thing he wanted to do was to get out of this situation.

"Ahh---" The ghost lady looked at Feba jumping towards the compass and letting out a loud shriek.

Her voice was so loud that it pierced Feba's ears and blood moved out of them, however, she didn't stop and moved her right hand forward to catch the Compass.

The Ghost lady already swung her sickle towards Feba at a fast speed.

Jack looked at Feba and gritted his teeth, Feba was still half a meter away from the compass even after jumping, which means she would need more time to reach the compass.

From Jack's calculation, Feba would need at least five more seconds to reach the compass. However, the Sickle was also only half a meter away from her and it would only need a second to cut through Feba's body.

Jack was the farthest from both, he was about two meters away from the ghost lady and about one and a half meters away from Feba.

He won't be able to reach any of them in time.

A defeated expression appeared on his face as he pointed his gun at the ghost lady, now he could only hope that he could stall some time with the bullet sounds he would create from his gun.

However then a surprised expression appeared on his face when his gaze accidentally landed on the sickle while pointing his gun at the lady.

He could see a green sign on the Sickle, which meant he could hit it. A smile formed on his face.

"Bang... Bang... Bang..."

Bullets after bullet resounded in the hallway and every one of them hit the sickle.

The Ghost Lady stopped her sickle strategy and looked at Jack with an angry expression.

And in that time Feba got her hands on the compass and gave Jack a final glance and with a reluctant force she cursed the compass in her hand.

Soon only Jack and the Ghost lady were viable in the hallway.
