Chapter 225

Lucky 225

[We have now a million views in SribbleHub!! Let's goooo!!]

Calix didn't know what to say. His eyes widened as he looked at the sky. It was still sunny a few minutes ago, but now, the world was completely enveloped by red blood. Especially the creepy moon, Calix shuddered as he understood this madness.

Deep inside, he knew the meaning of it. He thought he had already forgotten about this moment, that time when he was shivering while his mother was hugging him.

That was one of the moments that he remembered his mother, he was afraid of that time, as he thought that the world was going to end.

"Calix!!"

However, something caused him to awaken from his thoughts. A huge ball of fire was rushing towards him. Calix immediately responded and evaded the fire. He glanced at Marianne whose head was bleeding.

"Are you okay, Marianne?"

"You should ask that yourself! You almost die!!"

Marianne screamed as she was holding her tears. She couldn't believe that Calix was endangered. She almost had a heart attack.

"Thank you for saving me."

"Don't ever die!! I still need to milk you."

She gritted her teeth and returned her gaze to the crazy red-haired woman who was kneeling on the ground, suffering from pain.

"Aaarrrgghhh!!"

Scarlett continued screaming as her skin slowly burned, it was brutal. However, no one could get close as endless balls of fire were blitzing around her.

"What do you think is happening?"

Yuna approached the two, she was skeptical about this situation. Yuna had knowledge about the Blood Moon, it was the time when monsters would go berserk

But at the same time, this was the time when thousands of monsters would transcend and become smarter and stronger.

"The fact that she's affected by the Blood Moon means..."

Yuna could not say it, because Calix's coldest glare was directly onto her.

"Yuna, take Marianne and Nikki out of here."

He commanded. This situation was not good and they have to go to the base and group up with the other platoons.

"No, I will not leave you!"

Yuna steeled her heart and replied. She didn't want to leave Calix here.

"If you think you can overcome this, then you are wrong. I know what you're thinking, all I can say is that it's dangerous. You will die."

Marianne wiped her blood, knowing Calix's intention.

"I am Lucky."

"Fuck that!!"

Yuna didn't like that, she screamed but Calix was not affected. Instead, he changed the subject.

"Where's Nikki?"

He was worried that something happened to her. Out of all of them, Nikki was the weakest.

She was just a simple woman who inherited strength from her lineage, but she was not a TA User. Furthermore, she was not wearing her Battle Suit. A Battle Suit is powered by a liquid battery and it's obvious that it has a time limit of usage. Nikki's Battle Suit could be used for 20 hours, that was the limit. That's why Nikki didn't want to use it every mission and always kept it in her pocket.

Thankfully, they found Nikki weakly standing up. She had injuries but not fatal.

"Ugh..."

"Nikki, take this."

Calix sighed in relief. Calix threw her a Battlesuit just in case. He had a few spares on his necklace.

"Yuna, I will not say it again. Take the others from the base!"

"I will not!! You will go with us!!"

She raised her voice, she was adamant about not leaving. Yuna grabbed Calix's shirt, her hands were trembling.

"I almost lost you last time." She swallowed her frustration as her voice was cracking.

"Yuna--"

"Don't you know how I feel when I saw you in the water tank!? I want to kill myself, that there is no reason to live anymore!! You can't just run through the danger without the fear of dying just because you have this bullshit Luck!! you almost died last time!! And what about us!? Do you think it's good for us if you died?"

She didn't care. Yuna didn't care if Scarlett would turn into a monster! She didn't care if Scarlett died, all that Yuna wanted was to protect Calix. So what if she was selfish, everyone is selfish.

"..."

Calix wanted to retort but he didn't know what to say. In the end, averted his gaze because he couldn't look into Yuna's eyes. He knew that what he was going to do was dangerous.

In the first place, he didn't even know what to do. He didn't how to cure Scarlett or ease her situation. However, every second that passed was not good for them, and for Scarlett especially.

"I have to do it. I have to save her... I'm sorry Yuna. I'm not doing this for glory, I just want to save her. She is important to me."

Marianne watched them, her intention was the same as Yuna's. Seeing Scarlett's changing, it was obvious that she was affected by the Blood Moon.

They were standing still and they did not know what to do. They were stuck in the middle of this dangerous situation, and no one moved.

Even Nikki who just recently gained consciousness was stunned as she looked at them.

She didn't know what happened, all she remembered was that Scarlett was in pain and she released a shockwave and they were slammed across the place.

"... Just please, don't do this to me. You know that I love you. "

Yuna lost her strength and freed Calix from her hands. She was mad, sometimes this man was the most stupid person. However, this was one of the reasons why she fell in love with him.

"Thank you, Yuna."

"Okay, okay. It seems that I didn't have a choice but to help you."

Marianne stepped in. They have to be fast.

"This Blood Moon will make the Aberrants crazy so this port will be attacked all around. Five minutes, that's the best that we can do to save Scarlett. After that, we have to leave. Is that alright with you Calix?"

"I don't have a choice, you are the most experienced one here."

"Good. It's unfortunate that Kimberly is not here, maybe she has a better plan. But we don't have her here. So, I have my own plan... I don't know if it will work."

Marianne was not confident because everything would be hanging on Calix's unexplainable Luck.

"I trust you."

Calix said and equipped his Battle Suit. Unlike the other Battle Suits, Calix could use his suit for an endless time. As long as he has the coin(Fragment of Excalibur), he didn't fear losing power.

"My plan is to create a portal next to Scarlett. Calix will jump in and touch her, let's all hope that Calix's Luck will cause something."

"I will try."

To be honest, they didn't know how they could salvage this situation.

"But what about the fire? This fire is so strong that even the concrete road is melting, even Calix's Battle Suit will burn."

Yuna was worried.

"That's where I'm coming, do you believe that fire can be turned into ice?"

"You're crazy!!"

"I know, but so are you."
