Book 1: Chapter 88: Blood Lycans Biology Lesson Part I

Scarlet

After dropping off the civilians at the bunker, we continue on through the train station, just clearing out the zombies where we can until we reach the point where they are too high a level for us, where we then change to stalling tactics. Just fighting off the zombies while working together and holding them in place so that any other civilians we missed wont be in harms way.

Although if it werent for Michaels being here, wed all be zombies by now. And he also makes it convenient since he can cure the infected zombies that havent crossed the point of no return yet. Which makes me very happy that Im on the same team as him. Since these types of Fractures tend to lead to public hatred of some of the Guardians who killed someone who was infected, even if it isnt very logical.

Not to mention that it just means we get to save them.

Even if it does get annoying stopping by so many bunkers on the way.

We continue fighting for over an hour, just holding off the higher leveled zombies, hounds, and huntsmen until I hear the sound of loud footsteps from far, far behind us. Close to the entrance of the station itself. And the footsteps are clearly human, likely from someone wearing magi-tech armor.

Then I hear their voice speaking into a terminal and quickly recognize the voice as Sylvers.

Ive arrived on scene and am currently heading towards the core, he says before getting a response from Sage answering, Affirmative.

Looks like our backup has arrived! I shout at the others while raising my foot and kicking a zombie a few meters away from me, only to grunt as I feel a crossbow bolt cut open my transformed forearm before flying straight past it, missing the bone, and hitting only the edge of my arm in the process.

ETA? Michael shouts back, only to say, Nevermind, when all of our terminals buzz, and Sages face appears. She then says, Reinforcements should arrive within the next five minutes.

As if on cue, I hear more sets of footsteps enter the station from various locations. And at the same time, I hear the sound of lightning shoot out, following which a steady electrical current runs somewhere by the sounds of it.

Alright, just a little bit longer, I hear Michael calling out as the call with Sage drops.

Yep. Just a little bit longer and Ill be able to go on a SP spending spree.

I nod my head while spinning around and doing a roundhouse kick to the face of an infected zombie who was already past curing judging by its grayish black skin, sending its head clean off of its body the head being attached only by a rather rotted neck, which was obviously where the other zombie had originally infected it.

The battle then continues for a few minutes, none of us taking any serious injuries thanks to Michaels healing. And right when Im beginning to worry about not only my own mana, but Michaels as well, reinforcements finally arrive in the form of Sylver blasting by us while using literal chains of silver lightning as a mode of transportation somehow.

How does that even work?

Your work is over here, I hear someone that I dont recognize say, bringing my attention to a man with a familiar face. One of the many Guardians of the Silver Association that Allen had me remember, or at least look over the details of to familiarize myself with them even the slightest bit. Seeing as were coworkers. Fall back and let us handle the rest. Youve done well.

The voice belongs to a beautiful woman wearing a dress for some reason in the middle of a zombie filled train station during a Fracture. But after a second, I catch some flashes of red light from the dress, along with the sensation of mana pulsing in it, marking it as magi-tech.

Just for some reason in the form of a dress.

Isnt that hard to fight in?

The woman practically has the body of a model, being quite a bit taller than me with beautiful blue eyes, blonde hair, and smooth skin. The only thing that stands out on her aside from the dress of course are the two strange lines streaking down her arm and up her neck. Kind of like snakes but seeming to be alive.

Some sort of skill? Or maybe her reality warp?

The woman just glides past me, her feet somehow not touching the ground. But I can still hear something touching the ground, so I know she isnt floating per se.

So many unique types of magic I wonder if theres a limit?

Actually, never mind that.

Tar, please continue what you were talking about.
