CHAPTER 18

Fortunately, they only found two patrols that they could avoid with success and finally after half an hour. They arrived in the middle of the factory. A big structure was in the middle of the room like a reactor with four tubes spread out towards the roof. Inside of them, blood was pumped to the principal structure.

Claudio, Aaron, and Rosalba were stunned when they saw the place. Claudio never had seen something like this and Aaron felt that wanted to vomit again. It was the reason why they didn't notice the strange reaction of Rosalba. She was feeling her throat dry up and a thought appeared in her mind. 'If I take this, I can be stronger than now.' The smell of this place wasn't disagreeable. It was sweet, now. The eyes of Rosalba acquire a reddish hue. Her nails grew and sharpened.

—Huh? Boss? —Finally, Aaron noticed that there was something wrong with Rosalba and called her.

Rosalba couldn't hear him. She was almost possessed. Aaron felt a chill in his back when he saw the lost eyes of Rosalba. Her gaze wishes for the blood in the reactor. Aaron didn't know what to do. So when he saw that Rosalba wanted to jump towards the blood. He couldn't avoid screaming.

—Wait! —Aaron couldn't grab her but suddenly Claudio, who had been quiet the whole time, moved and hit Rosalba with his cane.

—Ugh! It hurt! Why did you hit me? —Rosalba shouted.

Aaron sighed with relief and answered —Don't you remember what you were doing? —Rosalba felt confused, she only looked at the reactor and shook her head.

Suddenly, Claudio pointed to a piece of metal and said —Look at you —Rosalba saw her reflection and she shuddered.

Rosalba still has her eyes red and her nails looked like a monster. Even the magic that dyed her hair brown had disappeared and she has her hair platinum again. All of this happened only because she looked at the blood. Rosalba was stunned.

—I see, you were here —A voice interrupted the thoughts of Rosalba.

—Peter! —He suddenly appeared in the room. Rosalba didn't even feel his presence.

—Hello, sister. Did you like the place? —Rosalba bit her lips with anger. He probably was looking at the moment when she almost drank blood.

Peter walked in front of the reactor and touched it, saying—It could be difficult the first time but then you will want more —Peter's eyes turned red —Did you feel, right? The power that you could obtain. Don't be stubborn and come with me —He stretched out her hand towards her with a smile.

—No —Peter's smile disappeared and sighed, saying —I suppose that can only use force —Peter sent a gust of wind that Rosalba stopped with a barrier

He looked a little surprised while he said—Oh, Rosalba, you improved but it still is not enough —Peter increased the strength of the spell and the barrier of Rosalba started to tremble.

—Aaron! —He nodded and ran with Claudio in another direction. Rosalba canceled the spell and dodge the wind gusts as she could.

She created a whirlwind that crashed against the wind gust. However, the whirlwind of Rosalba couldn't consume the spell of Peter and was destroyed by it.

—It is useless, Rosalba. You know that your magic can't destroy mine —Peter said somewhat irritatedly.

Rosalba dodge the wind gust but it pursued her no matter where she ran. It seemed that she had to destroy it to any cost. But how? Rosalba strained to think in a way when she saw the blood in the reactor and thought 'Blood, it could function.' Rosalba hid behind the reactor for a second and when the wind gust was about to hit her. She didn't move.

Peter thought that she wanted to try another stupid trick when something called his attention 'Huh? This smell is blood..'. At that moment the wind gust was destroyed by a red sword.

Peter was stunned for a moment. It wasn't possible that she could so easily destroy the magic of him. Peter looked at the sword and asked incredulously —Are you mad? It is your own blood — The sword of Rosalba was made of her blood. She remembered the time she used magic with blood and thought it could be possible.

—It doesn't matter… —Rosalba squeezed the sword while she ran towards Peter. She only needs to save time
