Chapter 229 part 2

Lucky 229 part 2

Calix and Devon thread the path, they were running for almost half an hour after they met the giant Ogre Nikki.

Calix couldn't help but worried, however, as a man. He has his priorities. It might be disgusting but Calix prioritizes Scarlett.

Even if the others suffered, deep down, Calix understood that he won't lose much.

But Scarlett was different. If Calix lost her, half of his life would disappear. So, in a way, the other girls were nothing but side bitches. Fuck them... though he already did.

"Calix! Are we still not there? The monsters are increasing, they are getting stronger too! Don't forget that the situation is disastrous! Blood Moon makes the Aberrants evolve!"

Devon reminded Calix. He wanted to help Calix, but Devon has limitations too. It would be suicide to push through the horde of monsters.

If the situation would not get better, Devon won't have a choice but to force Calix to leave Scarlett. He didn't understand how important Scarlett is to Calix. Calix would rather die than leave Scarlett.

"I know, Devon. Just trust me! We will find her!"

"Do you have a plan? This will be dangerous!! Even for a guy like you!!"

Devon said and blew apart the monsters using his fist. Despite refueling his Term Attribute, Devon knew that he couldn't use his Term Attribute for so long. One way or another, he would reach his limitations and die.

That's why he wanted to find a safe place. He could see that the monsters are getting stronger and killing them was hard to do.

"Devon, I'm sorry if I put you in this situation... If you want to leave, I can make a path for you to escape."

Calix bit his lip. He was an asshole for bringing an innocent person to help him save Scarlett. Devon was not part of this.

"Fuck that! You begged me to help you, now that the situation is in deepshit you want me to escape and let you die? Are you doing this to screw my conscience? Just do your best and save your girl! Do it while I'm still at my best! I don't think I can last for another hour!"

Devon gritted his teeth. His shoulder was bleeding. Any more and it would be dangerous for him.

"I will! I just have to gain motivation!"

Calix roared and began firing bullets per second.

"Motivation? Don't tell me!!"

"Yes! I have to grind, like a chad!"

There are a few ways to gain motivation, one of them was listening to "Bury the Light". Vergil's theme song in Devil May Cry 5.

"I am the Storm that is Approaching~~!! Provoking~~!!!"

This was one of the best ways to stay motivated! Nothing could beat this song!! It saved thousands of horny men from falling into the dark side.

"This is definitely not a way for the author to share his playlist. Anyway, you know that Vergil ran away from child support right?"

"Don't disturb my motivation. Fuck Nero."

"That's right, Fuck Nero."

Because of gaining motivation, Calix's shotgun transformed into a grenade launcher, butchering the monsters around.

'Indeed... He's a great warrior. Compare to me that is injured, Calix didn't even have a scratch. As expected from the son of the Steel Legion.'

Devon acknowledged another myth in his mind.

It didn't take long for them to reach their destination.

They saw the burning road, the roasted flesh of Aberrants, and their awful smell. However, the scene that caught their attention was the two females fighting each other to death. And it seemed that one of them was going to lose.

Marianne was breathing hard as her face contorted in pain. One of her legs was missing, scorched to nothingness. Thankfully, she used ice power to create another leg.

However, she understood that it would be dangerous if she left it like this. Blood was seeping out of cracks that connects the ice leg to her torso. Furthermore, she had injuries all around her body.

"I thought I reached her level and we stand equal, but I was wrong. This bitch- no, this monster is strong."

Marianne looked at the screeching creature.

Scarlett's appearance was none existence. What Marianne was seeing right now was an abomination. The figure of a creature that has burning branches at its back, crying blood.

"It looks like a living tree. And it's growing."

Marianne didn't know what happened, but she deduced that Scarlett was no more.

She thought of leaving the creature and ran away but Marianne would be hated again by Calix. It was the stupid thing to do. Besides, despite knowing that Scarlett might be dead, Calix's miraculous ability might bring her back.

'I have a lot of chances to kill her, but this is not the time. I have to be important to Calix first.'

"Marianne!!"

"Huh?"

Marianne lost her killing intent when she heard that certain voice. She turned around and found Calix.

Her expression changed from shock to relief. She almost sobbed but she held her voice. A tear gently rolled down and she wiped it.

"What took you so long!! I almost died!"

"I'm sorry."

Calix gently patted her. He was troubled to look at her appearance. Marianne suffered so much, deep cuts around her body, and one of her legs was missing. She could barely stand using her prosthetic leg.

"Dummy..."

"I'm sorry."

Calix hugged her and Marianne almost broke down but it was not in line with her character so she didn't. On top of that, there was a stranger behind Calix so it was awkward.

Meanwhile, Devon was shocked to see Calix hugging Marianne Francine.

'The fuck? I thought he was dating Scarlett. As expected of him, he seduced two great beauties.'

"Graahhhh---!!!"

Their reunion was disturbed by a howling scream that almost shattered their eardrums.

For an unknown reason, the burning creature became mad when she saw Calix hugging Marianne as if she wanted to burn the Elf alive.
