“This place looks deserted I wonder where is everyone,” Charlotte said. “This is perfect looks like no one has noticed our presence. Let’s hurry up and finish this job quickly.” Princess said and take the lead. She gave her head turned left and right. Searching for the rat demon kind infesting the city. We departed from Artemis city to Eterna city early in the morning, the sun is nowhere to be found yet and the surrounding filled with chilly morning fog. The whole sky was still covered with complete darkness. Dark clouds covered the stars above. The place looks like a residential place, but there is no one there. It feels abandoned. “What’s wrong with princess today? She looks very tense. Normally, she would sit down looking pretty and let us take all the work.” Kisara muttered. “Don’t talk to me like that. I’m not lazying around on our mission. You’re both powerful. The mission ended without any casualties. As a support healer. There is nothing for me to do.” “Yeah, but when
He’s not harmed by my attack? Observing him… I noticed that his body was enveloped by black liquid. Those aren’t black liquid, those are shadows. He used his ability to save his bacon. I could feel my feet having cold as I look at him. I made my strongest attack but it did not affect him. Making me lose some hope. No, calm down… I fought many battles already. A battle where I always put into a corner. This battle is no different I have to stay calm and think of a way to win. I’m not the same person as before. I’m not the same red who continues to rely on others. I want to save people… I sound hypocritical but that's why I’m fighting. I can’t lose here… I can’t die here. I must destroy anyone blocking my way to my goal. I leaped n the dark shade. Concealing my whole body in darkness. I took out one of my daggers and threw it. Together with the dagger, I dashed forward in a different direction. The dagger was intercepted by Night. “Using your weapon as projectile this time… It’s
“It's useless my flame ability is not working against this iron cell.” Kisara angrily said while she continued with her flaming fist. She distanced herself and resorted to a powerful flaming kick. It made a loud sound but it didn’t break anything. Beside Kisara’s prison cell was Princess seemingly depressed. She touched the iron and inspect it. “This iron must have materials from white iron. White iron is known how nullifying any supernatural force. It is the perfect prison cell for ability users… Therefore, You’re just wasting your energy Kisara.” “But I can’t just stand here and wait Charlotte is been caught and listening to your story. I have to save her no matter what. I don’t want her to go back to her hellish life.” Kisara retorted. Several hours already passed when we were caught. Another masked man in all black appeared to take Charlotte away from us. For this time, he was wearing a pure white lab coat. “Found you again…” He muttered before he left. I know for sure the
“The half-naked girl early this morning.” Kisara said. Night's face turned red. It did happen this morning, but it’s a detail that someone should not say. Kisara can just say. Hey, it’s the girl this morning. I brushed off the two girls sitting on me as I stood up. I have difficulty trusting this woman, but it won’t change the fact that it is the very reason why we’re still alive now. Turning my glance around, I could see myself inside a library. Tall bookshelves all aligned and the silent atmosphere. “Thank you for helping us.” “We’ll I’m not helping you because I wanted…” “What do you mean by that?” I said. “I’m going straight… I’m only helping you three because I know that you’re the only three people who could help Charlotte flee.” “What is your connection to Charlotte anyway?” Kisara asked. That’s right, earlier this morning. She called Charlotte, as they knew each other. Princess told me that Charlotte couldn’t remember her past. Probably, this girl is Charlotte’s acq
“I want to talk with your mother.” Charlotte said to the woman with incredible beauty seating on the bed. The woman turned her body upon hearing Charlotte’s voice. Mother?! My eyes widen in surprise. I thought she is a clone of the strongest being alive. This is not making any sense to me. She does have similarities to her. She’s more like an adult version of Charlotte. “So you’ve become stable after remembering everything. How’d you able to do that?” “I merely think that all my memories are true. All of those memories hold feelings in my heart. Some of it might be a lie. But I decided to continue cherishing them.” “Cherishing every memory… I’m pleased with what you’ve become.” “Mother, please stop this madness… You’re the only one who can stop everything that is happening here.” She shook her head left and right. “That’s not true at all Charlotte… I might be one of the inquisition commanders, but my power has its limits. The people in this city are slaves because they need to
I woke up but I still haven’t been able to move my body. My head is hurting because of the edge of the staircase. Yuyu had my body dragging, while Yaya had Kisara. “ He's awake… You are tough, but you can’t move, so it's useless.” Yaya said “It's only a paralyzing poison. Of course, the only difference is whether you’ll die here or on the fiftieth floor. You must be wondering, arent you? How two children like us become integrity knights, right?” Yuyu said and continued her story… “We were born and raised inside this tower. The pontiff ordered the scientists and maids to create us. To use us in an experiment to restore completely lost life with a demon-kind heart or some other way, like searching for the resurrection spell. We received our first order from the pontifex at age five. Our job is to kill each other. We were given a toy like a sword and then we’d pair off taking turns stabbing each other.” “ The Pontifex attempt at a resurrection spell was such a disaster. Many resurre
The black knight swings his giant blade in retaliation. After being directly hit by his massive force, I was blown away by about a 10-meter distance. Our strength is in a huge gap. Every time our weapons hit each other. Pain rushed to my arms and feet. I can still feel the pain from our last clash. Continuing with this would later lead to my defeat… In other words, my death. Seems like my artifacts are rendered useless in this zone too. I have to think of a plan to win. For the rabbit to defeat a dragon. The rabbit needs to be smart. That’s right, rabbit… Is big and strong. His armor is probably weighing him down. It does look heavy to me. Meanwhile, I only had light armor in me and I could move faster. Speed might be the key to this battle. Turning my glance left and right. I tried to think more about what I could do to defeat this knight. Crow approached me to attack. I immediately dodge sideways and have my dagger strike him on the side. *Clang!* My dagger hits his sturdy ar
(Charlotte’s perspective.) On the top floor of the bell tower. “Where am I? What is this place?” I asked the man in the black mask. My two hands were bound with a cuff made of special material. I couldn’t use my special abilities. I tried to let myself go, but it only resulted in paining my wrist. I'd been talking and talking to him. Asking him non-stop, but he does not say anything. Is he deaf? That’s impossible. I heard him talk earlier. I shook my head left and right. We’re continuously walking in the hallway. I was thinking of going way out by running, but there were two knights on my back and the masked guy in front of me seemed terrifying. He was an executive in the inquisition. I bet he's super strong too. Now I can’t use my abilities. I’m rendered useless. I must behave myself to survive. They led me into a room. The black masked guy opened the door and pushed me inside. “Hey! Don’t just push me like a dog.” “...” While I was complaining, he ignored me and closed
