Hatred. Marianne was full of hatred whenever she thought that Scarlett was above her. She always grits her teeth and blood would come out sometimes.
The fact that Scarlett was Calix's girlfriend irked her so much, especially whenever she recalled the dreams she had. So she was full of hatred, on top of regret.
Anyway, because Marianne wanted to prove that she was better than Scarlett, she started training fiercely that she would cough blood.
That's why she was eager to have sex with Calix and supplement her cultivation at the same time. After a night of sex, Marianne would immediately practice increasing her strength. All for the purpose of defeating Scarlett.
She never forget that Scarlett slapped her, she wanted to return that favor... And that time had come.
'At first, I thought that water can defeat fire, but Scarlett is different, her flame is so strong that it can evaporate water. That's when I realized that I have to do it in another way, something that she can never comprehend.'
Marianne started doing the impossible.
'Possibly because of Calix, I learned how to freeze the flame.'
She glanced at Calix who was wearing the Battle Suit as protection.
"Tch, that's why I can't hate you."
Without knowing it, Calix answered all of her problems. How can she hate him? Never!
"I will freeze the fire, Yuna be ready to open the portal."
"That's easy. As long as I can see it, it's not a problem."
Yuna was confident in her ability.
As for Calix, he was just waiting for them. He was ready to jump into the fire if he had to.
As for Nikki, she was raising her hammer in case something happened. Now that the signs of Blood Moon were so obvious to see, everyone understood that monsters would arrive sooner or later.
The Port activate the alarms and everyone on the island immediately went to the evacuation area. In fact, most of the officials were trying to contact Yuna because she was the only one who could open a portal without a hassle.
The Teleportation device could only be used for five hours and it has to recharge after.
However, Yuna didn't have the time to look at her phone right now, it was actually in silent mode.
Immediately, Marianne cast her spell and everything around her started to freeze. This was her second Term Attribute.
[Surrounding Freeze Term Attribute.]
Because of being a High-Elf, Marianne could use two elements.
It was so fast that almost time stopped. The Flame Arrows and Fire Balls that were surrounding Scarlett turned into ice statues.
"Now!"
Without hesitation, Yuna opened a portal right in front of the weeping Scarlett.
Calix dashed to touch her.
They didn't know if his touch would cause an effect, all they could do was trust Calix's Luck.
"Just one touch!!"
Hoping that everything would work because of a touch, Calix extended his hand.
-- Crash!!!
However, out of nowhere, the ground cracked and an earthquake arose from the ground. All of them lost their balance and kneeled.
Calix almost touched Scarlett but a wide crack that split the ground apart happened, causing further distance.
Scarlett continued screaming in pain and the fire escaped from the ice.
"Marianne!! Let's do it again!!"
He turned around to look at them but he realized something... Hundreds of Aberrants came out of the ground and attack them!!!
He found that the others were already fighting the monsters. Furthermore, dozens of them rushed to attack him.
Calix pulled out his pistol and it transformed into a submachine gun. He clicked the trigger and bullets pierced their bodies. However, instead of diminishing, more monsters came out of the crack.
The crack was so long that reached 200 feet, and monsters were coming from the crack.
"How can they come out like that!! are you telling me that they are living under the island without being found!"
Calix was mad as he clipped more bullets out. He was so close to touching Scarlett, yet these filthy creatures climbed from the underground and attacked them.
"What's more, they are using weapons!! How is this possible!!"
He gritted his teeth. Shokoys had sharp claws, yet now, they were using wooden spears to attack them from the distance. As if they were not mindless monsters, they can use their brains to do these tactics.
"Now I know why they are gathering woods..."
Their team witnessed how the Umibozos cut trees when they inspected the island but they didn't find the answer, but now, they knew.
"Just like that time, the island crumbled too!"
The Port of Aoneon was too big but the fact that the ground cracked was genuine.
'I feel like I'm replaying the fast... Let's hope that I will not fight a Kraken. I have to save Scarlett.'
Well, unfortunately, right after he muttered it, five Krakens emerged from the ocean and climbed the Port.
"Shit!!"
He cursed. His submachine gun was enough for weak Aberrants but the Krakens were different, they won't easily die. He had to shoot dozens of explosives just to kill them.
Monsters surrounded them and even Calix didn't have a choice but to protect himself.
.........
......
...
As the Blood Moon was shining over the sky and monsters all around the world became berserk, a few people started acting up because of their lineage. One of them was Scarlett and the other was...
"Ack!!"
Sergio dropped down and coughed blood, his body was aching as if his insides were slowly rotting. This was the effect of the Blood Moon on them, the Vampires.
"Ugh!... Hag!!... Despite not being pureblood, I can't believe that the effect of the Blood Moon will be so strong."
He wiped his blood and rest on the ground, it was good that he found a place to hide and rest.
He needed to meditate to control his body, or else the Blood Moon would curse him.
"Some became blood trees, I don't want that to happen. Damn, and I have to go to the Capitolium too."
He muttered weakly.
