Book 2: Chapter 14.4: Fractured Interview Part IV

Scarlet

I hurriedly turn my head to look at the bunker, just to find that the red light from the camera above it is off, leaving only the faint blue light from the shield itself, along with the red light from the blood moon outside.

Well, could this possibly-

Stop, dont ask that question, Tar suddenly says while appearing in front of me in a panic.

I blink in surprise at that, but before I can retort, I make the terrible mistake of trying to move closer to the bunker, which sends a wave of pain throughout my body that has me instantly losing the strength I had left.

Why is my luck so bad? First I get caught in a Class II Fracture. But no, that wouldve been fine since I wouldve been able to hide in a bunker like the civilians here.

Then the emergency power shuts off, making it impossible for people inside of the bunkers to look outside of it. Meaning I have no way to signal them that I need in. And even if I did have a way, it wouldnt matter because the emergency power is what powers the doors. Not the shields power generators.

All they would be doing is turning off the shield and leaving the door shut if they did that. And while I would be able to tear my way through the door, that would kind of defeat the purpose entirely since the shields are anchored to the doors and wont activate without them being closed.

Damnit, why the fuck couldnt those politicians make a decision faster on this! Theyve been debating for months over fixing this exact issue in case this exact predicament came up, but noooo, they had to continue postponing the issue instead. All because they dont want to spend the massive fortune it would cost to change the design of every bunker in the city.Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.

Scarlet, Tar says, sounding slightly wary, snapping me out of my inner rant.

What?

Sorry, you just seemed to be he doesnt finish, but I understand what he is trying to say.

No, its my fault. I kind of almost lost my temper there. And this pain isnt helping, even if it is getting better.

On that note, I use blood sacrifice just a little bit. Enough to gain the strength to drag myself over to the window before lifting my shirt a little and lying on my back with the wound facing the window.

Then I wait.

But if its not just fomorians, or not one on one

I shake my head at the thought.

It looks like the core spawned on a floor very far away from me, judging by the fomorians level being only level 102. Which means I have a chance of surviving outside of bunkers.

On that note, now that the pain from my wound isnt so severe as to hurt my thought process, I let the System messages go through from my having killed the fomorian before.

{Level 102 Demon Fomorian defeated. A vast EXP bonus is awarded for killing a creature above your level.}

{Congrats, you have leveled up to level 61. Two Free Points have been awarded to you and your stats have been updated.}

{Congrats, you have leveled up to level 63. Two Free Points have been awarded to you and your stats have been updated.}

{Thirty Skill Points are awarded for killing a being at a higher class than yourself without any assistance.}

{Five Skill Points are awarded for killing a Demon Fomorian for the first time.}

{One Skill Point is awarded for killing a demon.}

Three levels from a single demon? I understand that it was forty-two levels above me, but really? It was taking me hundreds of demon kills to get that same amount of levels when I was working with the others and even still dozens when I was going solo against demons at my own level.

The System rewards risk, Tar says, repeating that same phrase again.

I sigh.

Yeah, that it does.
