Who?!
Noire immediately leaped backward while also not revealing herself to others even though they're atleast half kilometer away from the cloaked area.
There, under the sun illumination, she finally saw clearly the woman who surprised her.
Clad in silver breast plate, shoulder, arms leggings while also having a long silver sword on hand. With beautiful face on par with Eleanor, she smirked at Noire as she approach the latter.
"Why the surprise?" As she kept approaching Noire, the latter contemplated whether to engage or not.
Fuck, she appeared out of nowhere. I can't underestimate this girl.
Noire took a drawing stance as the woman approached her.
"Don't come any closer, who are you?"
"Hmm~ Aren't strangers the first one to introduce themselves?" The woman didn't stop walking forward, forcing Noire to draw her blade, pointing just an inch away from her face.
"I said don't come clos-" Before she can finish her word, the katana she was holding suddenly flew at her back, stabbing at the ground and she saw the opposite way she expected. The woman instead pointed her silver sword at her, smiling as if it just a normal day for her.
Well, fuck. I didn't expect to run to her this soon. Who would thought that she is stronger than me.
Yet, Noire didn't retreated, but augment her own blood to boil the reservoir blood hiding behind her cloaks and under a second, she immediately formed and augmented sword before her hand.
Swoosh!
Noire used all his strength to slash forward, sending specks of blood along the way that quickly turned into solid and freezing needles that after striking the ground, spikes of ice grew immediately from there.
Yet, she didn't managed to inflict damage nor even hit the woman infront of her who seemed to turned transparent like ghost, the blood and ice in the physical form didn't managed to hit her.
"Boo!" As she said that, Noire felt coldness around her body and in a matter of seconds, all nightmares and traumas from the past appeared before her eyes and she can't help but tremble to the scene of her nightmare, a scene of Xavier around her arms, bleeding like it wouldn't last.
She was stunned, unable to move and during that time, the woman appeared besides her, patting her shoulder and spoke in neutral voice, mouth still smiling.
"All of us have our own fear... Even the strongest of all."
...
"Our task is not really kill humans, but spread our influence to this new world." The Monarch of orges, Navaar sat crossed leg in the center of the orge state. Infront of him is Xavier, also sat crossed leg infront of the Monarch.
"So, you just wanted to open a new portal for the king to descent?"
"Yes, the portal under those subway or whatever you call them, stopped working after my descent." Navaar took a large amount of food compromised of meat and vegetables onto his mouth. "The number of our orges is thousands, hundreds of brutes, three mages, and me."
"For now, let your army freely roam this district, except the south and west. Until then, wait for the arrival of the next chapter, then we'll conquer other lands, might as well unite other orge armies under your king."
After the short meeting, Xavier went back to the tall walls and observed the nearby area where a giant orb of energy is protecting its inside. It was the survivor area where players went to settle themeselves.
Noire must had come there, but due to our massacre, her appearance might had been seen by others there... Let's see.
Xavier leaped out the tall building, then ran to the edge of the protected area. As he was about to hide himself to observe the area, he felt a surge of bloodlust in the far edge of the area.
Then, a sudden thought came to his mind.
Noire!
...
"Argh!"
Noire screamed in terror and pain as countless scene appeared before her mind. Releasing powerful bloodlust around her in the process as she can't control herself.
The woman before her, stood there as she watch her completely went out of control. She eyed the pin needle that stabbed at Noire's side that she stabbed earlier to worsen her situation.
[CURSED NEEDLE - ANYONE STABBED WITH THIS NEEDLE WILL WORSEN THEIR NEGATIVE EFFECTS INCLUDING PAIN, STATUS EFFECTS, AND ESPECIALLY CURSE THEY BURDEN. LAST UNTIL THE USER HAD NO MANA LEFT.]
The woman before her stood there and smiled, feeling the bloodlust that seemed to satisfy her. as she succumb to the taste of agony and pain, the woman turned to her right and saw Xavier approaching, frown shown on his face.
"What the fuck did you do to her!" As of now, Xavier can't use all of his physical stats as it was seemed to be suppressed by the bloodlust of Noire who's still on ground.
Fuck it all, I cant still use level 2 physical stats of mine!
Xavier dashed forward, sword at his back and swung it forward, though it only met the woman's sword, parrying it to the left before she swifly slashed in counter.
Woosh!
Xavier dashed in time as he activated the Vampire class and used augmentation to temporarily boil his blood and boost his speed, though it burdened him as he immediately catches his breath to pump his blood more.
As he was about to stand up, the woman appeared before him in instance like she was not being affected by the bloodlust and pushed her silver sword forward. Xavier can't dodge to that distance as he can only redirect the stabbing sword towards his right chest, barely missing her vital lungs in the process.
Woosh!
Xavier conjured a blood spear from his wound that pierced the woman's left chest in return but it didn't hit her, no it passed to her transparent body.
As the woman was about to curse nightmare to Xavier. Noire can't hold herself anymore as she lose control on the spot.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Countless spikes of blood grow within her body as she turned pale in return, her pale body lost it's warm as it turned cold and from that, the spike blood solidifies even more as from their roots, grow another spikes made out of ice.
This sprouted wide, almost 50 meters, barely affecting Xavier as he was pushed by the spikes, barely missing the curse nightmare from the woman.
The bloodlust faded as Noire lost to unconsciousness. The woman who appeared beside the girl smiled as she retrieved the cursed needle after cracking several spikes of blood.
As she was about to ran away, Xavier, freed from the bloodlust, regained his level 4 physical stats and in the blink of an eye, he appeared before the woman and grabbed her neck as he tossed it to the side.
Xavier was calm during this fight, but he can't leave the thought that Noire was in danger, thus he can't help but frown in anger. He looked at the girl, frozen in her own blood and magic. He had no idea if Noire was still breathing, let alone pumping her heart.
He turned his head towards the woman earlier who regained her body and stood up, smug appeared in her face as she looked and met Xavier's eyes.
"She's not dead... Yet." A smiled appeared in her face before Xavier appeared before her again in instance. The woman had expected this and turned her body to ghost state as she flew away from him.
"Hahaha! You can't catch me!" She said as she flew away to the ground to lose her pursuers, Xavier. The latter stopped his chase and turned towards his bestfriend.
Noire, frozen in her own magic, kneeled there unconscious. Xavier used the remaining time of his borrowed Vampire class to draw blood from himself, warming them enough and coating them to protect from impurities and oxygen, channeling them towards Noire.
I'll save you no matter what!
Xavier controlled the flow of blood and started to distribute the limited bloods from his own body to Noire, boiling them to the point that they started their own pump in Noire's heart, but Xavier kept controlling them as he warmed them up, while also warming Noire's body in the process.
After like a 30 minutes, Noire was not freed from the solid freezing state she was earlier and slumped at Xavier's arms. Her body is still in pale and cold like a corpse, but she was alive.
She can't continue this way, sooner of later, the blood would poison her as we aren't the compatible blood type...
Think Xavier, Think!
After contemplation, Xavier decided to do what he planned. He opened the system then from his level 20 experience, he draw 2 levels them give it to Noire, who's still in the list of his party thankfully.
Please work...
…
"Huff, huff, huff... Heh... Heh heh heh… I managed to ran away from him... Hahaha." The woman earlier laughed in satisfaction. As of now, she was at the underground tunnel that connected the four subways together. Here, lies countless monsters from those portals that appeared underground and all of them were killed by the woman.
"Ah~ This is the best~"
