Chapter 188: 189

Lucky 189

"Where are they!!? Calix!!!"

Scarlett started running towards the portal, to jump down into the body of the ocean. Thankfully, her legs were caught by ice, and stopped her from leaving. Scarlett stumbled and glared at Marianne. 

"Yuna, close the portal!"

"But--"

"I said close the portal!!"

Marianne commanded with a powerful will. Yuna bit her lip and closed it. 

"What are you doing!?"

Scarlett melted the ice that trapped her legs and angrily approaches Marianne. She grabbed her collar and glared at her, ferocious flame crawled on her body. 

"Calix is still there! Why did you close it?"

Scarlett's already red eyes further reddened and her crimson hair raised. She was grinding her teeth in anger. 

"And what? You're going to jump into the ocean where a multitude of monsters is manifesting?"

Marianne's dress slowly turned to ashes and her skin was charred. The flame was eating her body. It was definitely painful. However, her expression didn't show any pain. 

Instead, she bit her lip and blood crept out of her mouth. She was staring at Scarlett with her cold yet calm eyes. 

"Scarlett, we both know that you are not stupid. I know that you sense what I sensed too."

"… Damn it!"

Scarlett dropped Marianne.

Marianne stood up as if nothing happened. She was mad too, but she had to prioritize the safety of the team. She knew this place more than them. 

"Just like you, I want to save Calix too. I will kill myself if something bad happened to him."

Marianne muttered. She did her best so that she won't lose to her emotions. She had to be rational, that was the best thing to do. 

"There is a ginormous monster under the island. I'm sure you felt it too. When the island cracked, I sense a dread aura coming from the presence of an enormous creature."

Marianne calmed her erratic breathing. Her heart was going to explode because of madness. 

"Our mission is to contact the higher-ups. We have to tell them that a dangerous monster is lying close to the Port of Aoneon."

She said, steeling her heart. Scarlett wanted to retort but Marianne was right. As a soldier, they have to stick close to the mission. They witnessed a lot of deaths since the time they became soldiers, so they knew how to let go of their feelings. 

Still, leaving Calix on that island hit their hearts so much. Scarlett glanced at Marianne, she could see the blood that was coming out of her hands, Marianne was clenching her fists so hard because of frustration. 

"B- but what about Calix?

Yuna asked them. Her face was so pale as if she lost so much blood. She was looking at the two, waiting for an answer. She was the most affected right now, she had a fragile heart.

It broke her heart when she found Calix in a water tank the last time in the Flying Ship. She didn't know if she could endure the same pain again. 

"… Don't worry, I know Calix. He won't die."

Marianne assured them, no, she was assuring herself. She wanted to convince herself that this was the right choice. 

'Right Calix? You can't die and leave me. I will never forgive you if you leave me...'

She closed her eyes.

"Calix has Luck on his side. He has Mento and unlike us who need a battery to power our battle suit, Calix has unlimited energy on his side… I'm sure he will find a way."

She repeated. Closing her eyes, trying to stop the tears. Now she understood why being in love was the hardest part of being a woman. She felt like she was going to die. 

"… Let's go."

Marianne said and walked ahead. 

Scarlett and Yuna wanted to return back to the island but they gritted their teeth instead. They followed her, left with no choice but to do so.

………  

……  

…

The island crumbled into pieces. A powerful earthquake hit the island, leaving nothing but destruction. As if a volcanic eruption happened right in the middle of the island. The island measured 69 meters in diameter yet it was destroyed in just a rumble of a creature. 

Some parts of the island were still floating but they would sink into the ocean at any moment too. 

"Guaaahhhhh---!!!!"

Nikki tried to move her body. She was slowly sinking into the ocean and her lungs were being crushed. She couldn't breathe, and the air started leaving out of her body as she opened her mouth. It was painful, she tried to swim but she was paralyzed. 

The needles still stung her body and she was suffering because of it. 

'N- no!! I can't die here! Someone is waiting for me! I can't leave her alone... I can't! My daughter needs me!'

"Guuuuaaaahhjh!!"

Nikki opened her mouth, but nothing happened except from the air leaving her mouth. She felt suffocated. She wanted to cry. She wanted to beg for help. 

But her consciousness slowly faded, she saw some Umibozos swimming toward her. She knew that these small creatures would kill and eat her body once everything was over. She was scared, she was scared that she won't see her daughter again. 

"Nikki!"

Just as her vision slowly turn dark, she felt a tremor in the water and turned to where the tremor came from. Powerful explosions erupted, sending the Umibozos away and rupturing to pieces. 

A frightening roar shook the ocean as if a beast was awakened from his sleep. And this beast was holding a fucking rocket launcher!!

She witnessed a guy swimming towards her, bombing the Umibozos that tried to hurt her. The way he moved in the water was flawless yet fast. As if he was a shark who was hunting his prey. 

It was magnificent as if Calix was meant to live underwater. Instead of being at a disadvantage, Calix easily conquered the water. Fighting the monsters in their natural territory, the best part was that Calix was winning. 

He was using a type of launcher that shoots torpedoes. He roared and the Umibozos were terrified. They thought it would be an easy kill, an easy food, but they were wrong. 

"Nikki!"

Calix looked at her, extending his hand to grab her. 

'... Calix...'

That was the last thing she remembered before she closed his eyes. 

"Don't worry, everything is fine... But before that, please forgive me, I have to do this."

Calix said and gently kissed her lips under the water, while monsters were surrounding them.
