Chapter 20 - Ghost Strikes Again.

Xavier didn't even hesitated to kill Navaar as he was the only way out of the district and advance this newly loyal orges to other district, starting a way for the two for their dreams to conquer the world.

"Tonight, we will feast in the blood of our enemies!" Cringely said by Xavier as he showed the head of Navaar like it was like a trophy. The other orges didn't resent him due to this actions as the race of orges typically follow who is the strongest, even if it is not their own race.

"Cringe." Noire remarked when Xavier just landed on the same building as former and immediately heard what she said.

"Shut up."

"In any case, we can leave now. I know you're not planning on actually leading that army. right?"

"You got me. I ain't, in any case, lead a ugly monster's army... though if it's elves or demons, might as well take the chance, if you know what I mean." Xavier smirked.

The two didn't stay there for too long and eventually came back to their base which is the apartment they used to live. As of now, the apartment building was surrounded by human corpses that they killed during the past week for Xavier to level up to 20.

"By the way, I leveled up to level 22 just for the Navaar's experience alone."

"I'm currently 21 for the few survivors I killed in the past."

After eating their fill, Noire slept in the bed while Xavier went to guard her.

The night was still young, though the pale moon was nowhere to be seen. During the few times he will guard Noire, Xavier would often read a book about other districts since the two as actually migrants that ran away from their home. This is all stem because the two doesn't want stay in their problematic families of powerful bloodline, though they still get support whenever they want.

As he casually flipped through the book. Xavier suddenly sensed something.

There is someone that came inside the building!

Xavier immediately tensed up, he quickly budge his best friend out of the bed to wake her up.

"Someone's in, be quiet." Xavier whispered as he draw his long sword saint's blade and used his physical attributes as well as the magical attributes to sense something in the air.

It might the woman that attacked Noire out of nowhere... That high ranker like us!

Noire, blurred vision though prepared herself by stancing up, also thought of the same mind as Xavier.

Just as Xavier was about to turn around to Noire, the latter's back was already shrouded in thick smoke that turned into fog that quickly envelopes the two.

"Noire!" Xavier grasped his hand to noweias he tried to grab ahold of Noire to no avail. Though, he quickly turned wary of the surroundings and scanned the thick fog around them.

It is thick and obstructive... But it had no any effects on our physical state other than our vision... And hearing.

Just as he thought that, a brush of wind appeared beside him and in retaliation, he swiped vertically across his left side with his long blade.

Pang!

The blade met another blade, sending sparks of ignition everywhere.

Xavier withdraw his sword and stepped back with the blade on his side, ready to slash infront as he retreated towards the familiar way to the window.

I can't be careless, I might hurt Noire out of nowhere here. For now, let's retreat as it also the action she would do in this situation.

He felt that the window was near as the thick fog was slowly thinning itself out. And at the edge of the building, in the actual open window, the thick fog earlier was now like a gray veil that surrounds him.

He was ready to jump, just a moment of an action and he would be out of the obstruction when a silver blade appeared out of nowhere like it just appeared in the air at his back.

Fuck, I can't dodge this!

Swoosh!

He was too late to react, even with a heightened senses of physical trait, the silver blade was fast as he can dodge or even react to it.

Ugh! It hurts!

The blade pierced through his lower chest, luckily missing his vital heart, though the connection between the lungs and the air tube was pierced by the silver blade.

"Ugh!" Xavier tried to calm himself but it was his first time at the edge of death and being the same species of human with a similar common psychology, he was scared at that moment.

I need to calm down... Need to calm down!

Luckily, the heightened physical stats and mental fortitude quickly reshapes him. The pierced sword holder didn't retrieved the silver blade stuck to his chest and the wound was slowly begin to regenerate... Atleast for a short time.

Another blade pierced through the air, it sparked with the silver blade that struck to his chest and in order to avoid another potential vital injury, Xavier dropped the sword saint's blade and used both hands to grabbed ahold of the blade just in time for him to change the direction of the flying blade towards his left shoulder.

The blade was slightly darker and Xavier immediately knew who the assailant infront of him was.

"Noire, it's me, damn it!" By now, atleast another couple of seconds had passed since the silver sword had pierced his back that the wound was already healing itself slowly but another one appeared and it was from his best friend.

Let's think fast!

At my back is probably the ghost woman who attacked Noire last time.

At my front is Noire who was obstructed by the thick gray fog, she can't see or hear me.

Fuck, I had no choice!

At that moment, Xavier's both wound had healed instantly just the same moment as the assailant infront of him slowly revealed themselves.

"You!" Xavier tensed up and both blade quickly enveloped with blood and immediately pulled back forcefully out of his body as the wound had gone healed in seconds.

Infront of him was not Noire... No, it was the tall raven haired woman who attacked Noire!

"Hihihi... You though I'm your lover, huh?" The raven haired woman used her speed in par with Xavier to grabbed ahold of the latter's neck and dashed then sent both of them flying in the air, outside the window of the apartment.

"Fucker!" Xavier, also the state of free fall, used his creativity to form a large shield at his back made out of his own blood to cover the falling damage.

The raven haired woman on the other hand, holding his neck didn't seemed to be scared of the fall as she smirked at him as they fall.

This woman... Is more crazier than both of us combined!

Bang!

Just as they about to reach the ground, Xavier used all his strength to shaken the raven haired woman and it worked as he sent her flying in the side, though the shield made out of crimson blood didn't fully covered all his body.

"Ugh! Fuck!" Xavier cursed while holding not really broken shoulder and back. Due to the heightened physical trait received from the level ups. The fall was like any other fall for him, though the pain is still there.

His skin was pale because of the usage of the blood to cover his body from falling, but it had another purpose.

While I can just survive the fall without the blood shield, I intended to use it to retaliate if that woman ever attacked me.

Just as he thought that, the blood earlier that shielded most of his fall, quickly reshaped into a pair of thin but sharp scythes the length of his arms.

The blood used by him was almost one fourth of his total blood inside him and it was lacking to form much more larger weapon.

As for that sword saint's blade, I threw it away in the building and for that raven haired woman, she was there.

Xavier fell directly from the window to the road where he currently standing and turned towards the nearby small building, obviously in ruined as the raven haired woman fell from there.

Xavier doubt that woman didn't survived that fall.

I can only barrow this class for atleast 15 minutes... Until then, I need to kill her!

Let's do this!

Xavier didn't held back and rushed forward the ruined building and he met what he didn't expect... No one.

Just as he cursed in the air, a gist of wind flew forward through his body and when he turned around, he saw the raven haired woman, clad in silver armor, was slowly floating in the air. Her body was translucent.

"Too bad, this is only an attempt to kill the two of you~" The raven haired woman smiled at him as she turned on her physical body again after landing.

"You really didn't remember my name... Don't you?"
