Chapter 230: 230

Lucky 230

The creature was mad when she saw Calix and Marianne hugging as if she was getting cucked. A barrage of fireballs drifted towards the three, and everything the fireball touches incinerated into ashes.  

Fortunately, the three easily dodged the fireballs because their movement was predictable. They usually go straight at a constant speed. Yet, the three understood that their existence would disappear once they were caught by the fire. 

"Scarlett's flame can never die unless she wants to, these fireballs have that characteristic. That's why I decided to cut my leg before it reached my upper torso. As for the burns in my body, they are from the blaze of concrete."

Marianne reminded Calix and Devon about Scarlett's power. 

"I got it! Don't touch the flame!"

Devon said and punched in the air, creating shockwaves to deflect the fireballs.

"Not only that--"

Suddenly, a flame in a silhouette of a serpent came from the underground and attempted to knock Marianne out but failed. Marianne evaded the flame at an inch's distance. She sighed in relief. 

"Scarlett can create flame serpents and she can control them at her will. This was the flame that hit my leg."

She grimaced, she almost lost her life. 

"What? Then how can we defeat her? She has unlimited flames and she can control them, one hit and we will die!!"

"Devon, we are not here to fight Scarlett. We are here to save her."

Calix corrected as he struggled to get close to Scarlett. 

Scarlett, or rather, the creature was spamming spells like a newbie player. Yet the spells were powerful that even veteran players were afraid to face them. 

The branch behind her back began growing, reaching almost two meters wide. 

Calix determined that the tree was connected to Scarlett's insanity, and perhaps related to the Blood Moon. 

Calix had some inkling but he couldn't confirm it, after all, he couldn't see certain characteristics from Scarlett... Or so he thought. He jinxed it. 

Just like a Boss from a game, the creature transformed after the tree branch expanded. 

The creature's fangs further sharpened like a beast. Yet that was not the problem. The creature gained an ability that come from her ancestors, the Vampires. The ability to control blood!!

"Huh... what is happening?"

Devon was confused as he watched the creature spewing blood from her mouth. He thought she was hurt. However, the red blood formed into birds and started flying toward them. 

"I don't know what is happening, but I'm sure that these birds are dangerous!! Don't let them touch you!!"

Just as they expected, the blood birds were indeed dangerous. Some of the blood birds landed close to them and they started exploding, and the flame spread. 

Marianne gritted her teeth and used the remaining mist that was surrounding them, she freeze the explosion and none of them were hurt. However, she understood that she couldn't prevent another explosion after this. 

'There is no water anymore, I can use my blood but that's the last resort.'

"Calix, I don't know what you're thinking but I want you to end this!"

She said firmly. 

"I know. Cover me, I will try to get close!"

"Are you insane? Can't you see that she just gained another power? Now she's untouchable! Those birds will definitely kill you! I know that you are strong but it has limitations!"

Devon couldn't believe that Calix would rush into the fire and kill himself in the process.

"Devon, I know what you're saying, but I have to do it."

"... Damn it! Yeah, right!! I just met you thrice, so who cares! If you died here, it's not my problem. I did my best to help you."

Devon was just a stranger. Yet the fact that he didn't think twice before helping Calix showed a lot of his character as a person.

Calix smiled sincerely. 

"Thank you, Devon. I'll pay you after this."

"Don't ever look at me like you feel indebted, It will cost you a lot."

The two men nodded and looked at the screeching creature that was vomiting blood and creating explosive blood birds. 

The three raised their perception, ready to take the battle. 

Calix glanced at his Battle Suit, it had some scratches but it was still working fine. Furthermore, he had an endless battery to keep it working. 

'It can withstand the fire for at least two minutes, I have enough time to save her.'

Then, without any signal, the three started maneuvering. 

Calix rushed straight to Scarlett. The birds grazed him and exploded but he persevered. Behind him, Devon was protecting his back from any attack. 

As for Marianne, despite being exhausted, she did her best to create a path for Calix. 

"Looks like I don't have a choice but to do this!"

Marianne defrost the ice statues around her and the fire that was devoured by the ice began scampering. Marianne used the ice and freeze everything that blocked Calix's path. 

To be honest, Marianne didn't care if the plan failed and Scarlett died. However, she was afraid that Calix would lose himself if something bad happened to Scarlett. 

"Scarlett!!!!"

Calix screamed. 

"Grrraaaahhhh---!!!"

The creature answered with a growling roar. 

Calix jumped, he was almost hit by the flame but he successfully evaded it. 

He landed right before the creature, the temperature was so high that his skin felt scalded. Yet he extended his hand to grab her. 

"Gaarr!!"

"Ugh!"

The creature bite his arm, her fangs were strong enough to cut through the armor. She began sucking his blood as if she was thirsty. 

For a moment, Calix felt weak. He didn't expect that Scarlett would bite him and suck his blood. However, he endures the unique sensation and hugs the woman. 

The flame surrounded him and his skin started burning, it was painful that he almost lost consciousness but at the same time, the pain kept him awake. 

"... I will save you."

To be honest, Calix didn't know how to save her. But he believed that with his ability, he could do anything as long as there was a chance of it happening. 

Calix hugged her tightly and Scarlett bite his arm stronger. 

"Uck!"

Calix helplessly grinned while in pain. 

"... Scarlett, that's not how you use to bite me. It was usually on my collar and neck, sometimes my lips."

Calix gently pulled her face up, the woman slightly reacted and let go of his arm. Calix was staring at her.

Then, without hesitation, he kissed her chapped lips.
