Book 2: Chapter 55: Turnaround Part I

Scarlet

I cant help but frown once I reach Crimson Gourds tower and find too many scents lingering in the area. Or at least I think its too many scents? My hearing is a lot better than my sense of smell as a blood lycan, so I cant tell for sure. But I think I smell more scents than I hear people.

Maybe its just my imagination?

I wouldnt let my guard down just in case, Tar warns me, and I cant help but nod in agreement.

After a quick check to make sure my mana is filled to max capacity, I begin climbing the tower.

The mere fact that Molten Angel is still here despite his cooldown long having since worn out means he likely knows Im here. Probably due to their diviner of a teammate. But from what Ive heard, that diviner shouldnt be able to tell important details like our actual plan yet. So we should be safe from them learning that Im heading here alone. Or at least that the others arent planning on attacking.

Honestly, I hate the entire idea of diviners. I hate prophecies, I hate any and all of that garbage. Not only is it just bullshit, but the whole prophecy thing where half of the stupid things are all self-fulfilling? I just hate them.

I frown for a moment as I climb before shaking my head.The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

Diviner aside, theres only the sound of a single person up there, unless the others are just stiffly standing in place and not making a single sound somehow. So it should be fine.

Which I dont really understand considering that if theyre gonna die while on the job it wont really matter if theyre on the same team or not, but whatever.

Either way, the girl who should only be a single year older than me rushes forward rather recklessly while sending blades of water at me. Blades that I quickly counter with blades of blood before using blood boil and life drain on both her and Molten Angel, making the girl stagger.

Surprisingly though, Molten Angel only flinches slightly as he ignores me and attacks my blood shadow that was going for Aquas exposed back.

Oh, I guess thats why a lot of people dont like dating in teams.

Aquas current reaction to her boyfriend being killed in the magical reality setting a good example of it.

I step past the healers corpse right as it vanishes before burning my blood and jumping straight towards Aqua, clearing the distance in seconds while bringing my claws straight down on her while shes still regaining her balance. But somehow she still manages to bring up her arms and make a large shield of water that actually manages to block my claws. Until, that is, I slam into the shield with my entire body, knocking her over onto her back. She then sends waves after waves of water blades from all angles around us towards me, most of which I manage to counter with blades of blood. But some of them break through anyways.

Ignoring the pain of the water blades that only barely manage to pierce into my armor, I push down on her shield with my left arm while reaching over towards her throat around the shield with my shifted arm. And the moment my claws are about to reach her throat, I hear Molten Angel shout, No you dont! following which I feel an impact hit my side. But against his plans, the impact manages to send my claws straight through her throat as Im knocked off of her and sent spinning into the battlements of the tower with a grunt of pain.

Fortunately the battlements themselves manage to hold me without breaking and sending me off the tower, but only barely as parts of it do crumble in my landing. I quickly climb to my feet again, just to grimace slightly as I feel pain blossoming in my waist, likely from a broken rib or two. Then I focus once more on Aqua and Molten Angel, finding Aqua currently vanishing into nothing, my accidental attack apparently having been enough to rip out her throat. Meanwhile Molten Angel looks pissed.

Very pissed.
