Book 3: Chapter 10: Storm of Hellfire
Scarlet
As it turns out, his last thoughts before seeing the fae was that he wished either Belle or I were there to save him. And somehow his thinking of me turned his fae into a wolf.
Rather odd, but I dont really care.
After that, Blaze and I escort Arthur to a bunker, following which Blaze casually mentions bringing me with him to deal with the core. Which has me raising a brow at him.
Then he reaches out to grab my wrist out of nowhere, making my eyes widen as he begins to pull me along with him in the direction of the core. But before I can yank my arm out of his grip, his feet suddenly send out a burst of flames behind him, making the guy quite literally begin flying through the station with me only hanging on by his grip on my arm.
What the fuck?! I shout, my voice getting lost in the sounds of fire, explosions, and demons. But after a few seconds I notice that Blaze is also torching quite the number of demons who were passing over with fireballs. So I decide to join him by sending down blades of blood and boiling their blood.
Unfortunately I dont have the time to life drain them. Otherwise I absolutely would because this is already giving me some nice EXP. Even if most of them are being killed by Blaze and not me.
In the end, the man quite literally drags me through the entire station before ending up at the station center, where the core is located. Then he lands, letting go of my arm and telling me, Get behind me.
I narrow my eyes at his words but follow them anyways, briefly remembering mention of his etched skill on the internet.
But his mana level is only
My eyes widen as I realize his mana level is far higher now than it was before.
At Class II, most guardians have a way to hide their mana from others senses, Tar comments, making my eyes narrow at the late mention of this.
Damnit, this guy is close to the end of Class II! No wonder he had no worries about going to the center of the Fracture!
My eyes manage to widen even more at the sight of him beginning to glow with a black and red light, the man holding his hands together with only a foot in between them. He then chants out loud in some strange authoritative tone, Bring the destruction of fire unto these pathetic creatures!
Then a massive storm of flames manifests in front of him as he pushes both of his hands outwards towards the swarm of demons below.
Tar gives me a look.
No, I cant. But still.
I purse my lips for a moment before an idea comes to me and I summon my blood shadow. Then I order the blood shadow to carry him so I dont have to touch him myself.
There, problem solved, I declare out loud with a smile and a nod.
Tar just snorts as he asks, So you know where youre gonna bring him?
I stare at the tanuki for a few seconds before turning to look at the unconscious dude.
No clue.
Oh, wait!
Ill just call Arias butler and have him pick him up. Hell probably be able to get into contact with Red or something.
Or you could just bring him somewhere more comfortable and wait for him to wake up, Tar suggests, making me stare at him again.
But that would require me to waste my time waiting who knows how long for him to wake up.
Actually, now that I think about it, this is probably why he dragged me with him in the first place. Because he knew hed be falling unconscious after using that skill.
And he didnt bother warning me of this. Which is rather rude.
Scarlet? I suddenly hear a familiar voice ask, making me turn around to find White standing behind me with a worried look on her face.
I blink in surprise, only to grin.
That could work.
