Book 2: Chapter 51.2: Payback Part II

Scarlet

After making a rather short and simple plan, we get right to it. Emily begins using her Viral Diffusion skill, sending a mist of viruses and illnesses that quickly goes through the window and begins to lightly coat the second floor of the tower.

We start with this because none of them including Falling Sun should be able to sense her magic usage out here, making it safe to use.

Then after she finishes diffusing it through the floor, I pick her up and quickly jump straight into the air and through the window of the second floor before landing on the ground in a room close to the stairs but not directly visible by them. I put Emily down and activate a myriad of skills, including blood sacrifice, pain diffusion, blood claws, and partial shift before having my blood shadow jump through the window as well, landing directly behind us. And to top it all off, I use blood armor to create five plates of hardened magical blood around my body, the limit to the skill having raised after it reached level five to five. The plates are located on my chest, stomach, neck, upper back, and lower back to cover all of my most important vitals that it is able to cover.

Unfortunately it cant make a helmet yet, but apparently itll be able to do that at level ten. So I just have to be patient.

One complaint I have about the blood armor skill though is that its rather uncomfortable. My magi-tech gear already is a bit tight even after I changed out the top just so that it doesnt shift at all, which is especially uncomfortable around the chest area. And the blood armor skill just makes that even worse.

Good thing discomfort is apparently included in pain nullification though.

I should remember that if Im ever forced to wear a dress or something.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.

Youd look nice in a dress though, Tar suddenly says, complimenting me, but just the thought of wearing a dress has me shivering.

Looks like I really did underestimate you, Ace says with a light shake of his head. He then looks at Songstress, the girl giving him a bit of a death stare as he does so. Yeah, yeah, I get it. I shouldve done better as the leader.

The girl just nods at that without saying a word before they both focus on me and Emily again.

I know we cant win this, Ace says with a shrug. Not against the Class I Solo Prime student from Lions Heart.

Then why dont you just give up? Emily calls out to him, making him laugh in the process.

Give up? he eventually asks before shaking his head. No, I dont think so.

Good. Wouldve made this a lot more boring.

And we should have plenty of time before Shifter can get here, so I can take the time to hunt these two before destroying their core.

Almost dont want to destroy it though just to get the satisfaction of fighting Shifter.

Ace suddenly raises his hand, making a small deck of ten cards appear in front of him with mist covering the undersides of the cards as he says, How about we get this game underway then, shall we?
