Chapter 155: The clash

" I need to increase my strength as soon as possible, who knows what kind of attack I would face next, it is getting harder to fight the fate. 'Lucian thoughts wondered as he rested with his back against a wall, he was sitting close to the door.

[ Whenever you wish to go back to the other Earth, I can bring you there, but you should first get to a safe location. ]

' I know, I also need information so I should get in contact with the Pendulum, I just threatened them a little since whenever I am covered by those black flames my actions are a bit extreme.

I just hope I could at least obtain some information maybe I should become a member of that group. ' just while he was in deep thoughts a text appeared in his head.

[ Why don't you check your mobile for now? ]

' Ah right, I almost forgot about it. ' Lucian thought and took out his mobile from the pocket, thankfully it wasn't broken even after all of that had happened.

" Damn so many missed calls... " Lucian muttered, he had calls from Natasha, Jasmine and Scarlett, each of them had called him several times the total had gone over a hundred.

' Wait they might be thinking that I am dead or at least have this doubt in their heads, did my mother and Jasmine met yet? '

Lucian asked in his head as he realised something, the story will always be trying to complete the necessary events one way or another, earlier he was not thinking properly.

[ Yes, they have already started to fight, so you should stop it as soon as possible. ]

Without wasting a moment Lucian dialed a number and after a few seconds wait the call was finally picked.

" I am alive. " Lucian said, his voice sounded perfectly normal as if he was not injured at all, even though he was feeling quite weak.

In front of the tall building, Natasha looked towards Jasmine and Scarlett and asked her question: " Is Lucian safe? "

" E- Empress...?!! "

Scarlett muttered with wide eyes as she remembered that Lucian was her son, she almost lost all the strength in her leg, rather than fear she was filled with more guilt and self loathing, these were things she had never felt before.

" Why... are you here? And why are you asking about Lucian? "

Jasmine asked, obviously she recognised Natasha with just one glance even though she was seeing her after so many years.

" I am Lucian's mother, now tell me where is he? " Natasha spoke, her eyes turning blood red while her aura pressed down on Jasmine and Scarlett.

Jasmine was not affected by that aura but Scarlett fell down on the floor and found it hard to breath, she was not even look straight at Natasha her gaze moving over the floor.

" Y- You are... his mother? " Jasmine was quite surprised after hearing this.

She only bought Lucian at first since she felt some interest towards him but then she found herself getting addictive to him but she never really tried to find out about his family or life before.

Taking in a deep breath, Jasmine calmed herself but then her gaze narrowed as she felt a sharp pain in her chest, with all that was going around there was a high possibility that Lucian might have already died.

This thought filled Jasmine with a mixture of emotions, she had just started to experience new things with Lucian and had finally began to get close to him, but because she was not there to protect him at that moment she don't even know if he is fine or not right now.

" I... I don't know. " Finally Jasmine gave an answer and these words definitely weren't something that Natasha wanted to hear, but even now, the Chasm kept releasing more Xarus, which were madly rushing towards them.

Over tens of Xarus died in the next moment, half of them had their bodies exploded while the others had a single wound over their heads, since the Chasm was irritating Jasmine glanced towards it and froze the air right in front of it.

So an invisible wall appeared right in front of the Chasm, making it impossible for the Xaru to come out of it anymore, now there was no disturbance but the situation didn't look optimistic.

" You don't know? " Natasha voice was trembling with rage, a sense of loss filling her heart her aura kept getting stronger, she couldn't even remember the last time she had felt this angry.

" You allowed my son to be attacked by these creatures, why didn't you protect him? " Natasha spoke, her eyes were filled with tear, she didn't move but in the next instant an explosive punch was launched towards Jasmine.

*BOOOOOOM*

It struck violently but the attack didn't land on her body, it only hit the frozen air around her. Searᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The invisible barrier was broken instantly, though it was replaced in the next moment, Jasmine had no will to fight back as she stood there feeling a strange pain in her head and chest.

" I wasn't here, when I returned he had d- disappeared. " Jasmine said, the more she thought about Lucian the more intense her emotions became.

*BOOM* *BOOM*

" Still you should have protected him well, even with all that strength you amounted to nothing, I should have never trusted you. "

Natasha shouted, she was constantly launching attacks towards Jasmine but was only using her 1st ability and didn't use the 2nd ability since that was too dangerous.

The attacks were sending waves of vibrations in the air, Jasmine took a step back as each attack landed, the guilt was almost making her want to just take these attacks head on.

She had been called cursed since she was little and people around her had actually all suffered bad fates, so no one stayed close to her even her parents had treated her so badly, and now just because of her even Lucian had suffered.

Natasha was standing still, when using her ability normally the attack would be launched first and she would move later but she even had the ability to create FALSE REALITY, just like now she wasn't moving but attacks were being launched constantly.

" You... " Natasha's gaze moved towards Scarlett who was still sitting on the floor, with no strength in her leg. And the arrogant expression from her face had finally disappeared replaced with regret, guilt and pain.

" You are the one who stays near my Luci, so you are the one who didn't protect him. " Natasha spoke, she understood it in an instant then without stopping the attacks on Jasmine she raised her hand towards Scarlett.

Scarlett shut her eyes close, she was ready to die without putting up any fight not that it would make a difference.

Natasha waved her hand in the air as a blade made of Fog was sent out towards Scarlett, it appeared right in front of her in an instant but it hit the invisible wall and both the things broke with the force.

*BANG*

" It's my fault so don't involve her. " Jasmine said, her gaze finally meeting with Natasha's.
