The chains moved ominously around the bartender as if he was some kind of 10-armed monster crawling out from hell.
Leislet and Scarlett looked at each other for a moment before nodding their head and dashing toward the enemy from two different sides.
The man didn't do much except move his arm forward. Instantly, the chains flew faster than bullets. In a matter of half a second, the whole room was covered by a cover of chains, these monstrous weapons were glowing from time to time to send a shiver down the spine of any enemy.
Then, like rain, the chains fell down on both Leislet and Scarlett. The two didn't wait much and pulled out their weapons.
Scarlett with her sword and Leislet with her wand.
Both of them then started evading the chains while clashing with some of them at the same time.
*CLING* *CLING* *CLING* *CLING*
The sound of hard objects clashing against each other filled the whole room.
The chains kept surrounding the duo as it tried to hit them from a blind spot.
"Haaaaah!" Scarlett grunted and ignited her sword like a giant torch.
Then, she moved her hands like a flash, hitting each and every chain at an inhuman speed.
The chains caught on fire because of this and Scarlett immediately clicked her fingers.
The chains immediately ignited even more and the small embers of fires became a full-fledged huge fire.
The temperature heightened and the chains turned red from the heat.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtScarlett was waiting for that exact moment since she had something in mind.
This time, instead of a loud clunking sound, the chains actually started bending at weird angles and falling down.
Scarlett didn't stop as she jumped between these chains and dashed toward her opponent like a flash of light. Or to be more precise, like an ember of fire dancing in the cruel darkness.
'You are dead.' She thought as her eyes turned fiery red in the darkness.
"No. You won't pass." The man answered with some clear nervousness.
This was the first time he showed such emotions throughout this battle.
Just like that, he pulled out all the chains, even the ones that attacked Leislet, and grouped them together before attacking Scarlett.
Even though she was running straight toward tens of pointy chains that would shred her to pieces, Scarlett didn't stop or even reduce her speed.
Instead, she quickened her steps and ignited her sword again with even more flames.
Then, as if she was doing some kind of ritual dance, she moved through the chains with her sword, slashing every possible attack coming toward her as if it was nothing.
Her red silhouette could make anyone's jaw drop. Her eyes were also at the peak of their focus. She was indeed doing something she had never done before.
This level of focus was very new to her. It was as if her body and mind were in true harmony that couldn't be rivaled at all.
Every bone and muscle, every cell and drop of blood inside her blood were all moving along each other, completing each other and making the best possible decisions for her to move.
'I am unstoppable.' She thought to herself as her widened, red eyes looked at the man who was shocked by this scene.
He had no other choice but to start retreating and try to make a distance.
'No, you don't.'
She saw through his thoughts and accelerated her speed. In less than a second, she reached him and moved her sword diagonally.
The man clenched his teeth and bent his body forward to make her miss.
However, the sword still hit him.
"Ugh!" He cried in pain.
Then, like a rag doll, he was sent flying and hit the wall violently.
The hit knocked the air out of his lungs and made the wound become even worse.
Blood splattered everywhere.
However, Scarlett didn't stop as she dashed towards him again and hit him again.
Her sword created another huge wound in his back.
"Die! Die!" She shouted as she kept hitting him endlessly.
Her speed didn't decrease and her arms didn't stop, not even for a second. Her calm expression was also nowhere to be found.
Scarlett was totally out of control at the moment. She looked like an enraged bull.
"You fuckers! You human scums! You stole Acht from me! You made him suffer! You killed many people! I will erase you all out of existence! I swear on the name of my beloved!" She shouted loudly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt some point, the man's body turned into a meat paste with no resemblance to his old self. His disfigured corpse could make anyone wince or even puke just from one glance.
His blood had already coated the whole room, including Scarlett who was now colored red. Her silhouette was akin to that of a demon.
Leislet watched this horrific scene with a complicated gaze. Then, she said with a rather calm tone.
"Scarlett, that's enough."
However, her words fell on deaf ears as Scarlett kept slicing him up like some piece of cheese.
"Scarlett! Stop it."
No response again.
So, Leislet approached her and grabbed her arm tightly.
This seemed to work as she finally took a halt and looked back with a crazy expression.
"What the fuck do you want?!?" She shouted.
"Look! He is already a fucking meat paste! Stop it or you will lose yourself! Do you think Acht will like to see you like this?!"
Acht's name seemed to work like magic as Scarlett finally woke up from her rage and looked around her.
Then, her eyes shifted to her that were coated in blood.
"Hick." A tear fell down her face as she fell down and put her hands on her face.
"He already hates me! Hick! What's the point in trying to look normal anymore!" She muttered under her breath.
