Chapter 888 Finding The Culprit

888 Finding The Culprit

-----

The Giant Vampire exploded into flames, his very soul shattered as Catarina's fists were overflowing with even more power, Silva's Miasmic Boost enhancing her strength even further without her realizing it!

BOOOM!

"No…! My… precious perfect body… defiled?!"

The vampires' last thoughts passed through his mind before he were to perish completely, his huge body falling into pieces as the arms and legs couldn't even stand stuck to his torso anymore…

BAAAM!

"Hahhh…"

Catarina's transformation quickly ended, as she sighed in relief, she was already pushing herself to her ultimate limits. This transformation was her only way to reach the Realm of S Rank, as she had yet to evolve further.

"We did it big sis!"

Silva happily said, running towards Catarina and hugging her tightly from behind, her little warm arms embraced Catarina's cold back, making her smile faintly.

"I'm a zombie, you know? You're hugging an undead." Laughed Catarina. "Don't you get even a bit disgusted?"

"I don't care! Big sis is big sis!" Silva smiled adorably.

"Heh, you did well." Catarina smiled, patting the girl's fluffy hair, and caressing her big sheep-like horns. "You did well too, good boy." She also caressed Blackie as he went back to his normal form.

"Yeah, good boy!" Silva said, patting the wolf too.

"Awooo!" Little Blackie enjoyed two pettings! Today was sure his day.

"Now, I wonder where the heck this guy came from." Catarina analyzed him after checking she gained a lot of levels. "Wait, he was actually S Rank?! Damn, make sense why he was so damn tough… I can't believe we beat an S Rank all on our own, though he was nothing compared to that skeleton guy Maria and everyone else fought, he was sure much stronger."

"Yeah, but we did it!" Silva celebrated. "I hit max level… I wonder what will happen to me- Ugh?!"

Suddenly, her entire body started twisting, and making the sound of bones cracking and flesh tearing apart! Catarina panicked as the little Silva fell into the floor, crying in agony as she was evolving.

"Ouch, it hurts… Uwaaagghh…!"

"C-Calm down, Silva, you're evolving! Breathe calmly, stay strong! It will end soon! The first time is always agonizing…"

Catarina stood by her side until the girl's evolution was finally done.

Her appearance suddenly changed a bit, it felt as if she had aged a year or two, looking much taller.

And by looks, she didn't looked any different, though she gained a tiny black horn on her forehead now.

"Hahhh… Ugh… My body hurts all over big sis… But I feel somewhat… tougher?"

"You've evolved finally… What's your rank?"

"Hmm… C?"

"Not bad! You've gotten much stronger than before! Nice!"

"I-Is that so?"

As the two talked about that, Catarina started growing unease about this whole thing, beginning to wonder what was exactly happening.

"Though, now that we're done with this problem… Where the heck are we?" Wondered Catarina, looking around nervously. "Some sort of Domain? Were we trapped by our enemy? I remember Maria saying something about the Warlocks, maybe they did this?"

"Maybe they wanted revenge because we broke their stone…" Said Silva.

"Ah, right, I completely forgot about that…" Catarina said. "But I doubt it's just that though… They probably wanted that brat of Celes, he was someone very important, I think…"

"How do we get out of here?" Silva asked.

"I-I have no idea… There seems to be a void and invisible walls, but I don't know if I can break them and-"

Crack, crack, CRACK!

"Huh?!"

However, the duo was quickly surprised to find countless cracks spreading across the skies, opening to reveal a huge hole where several people came rushing down!

CRAAASH!

"Wait, what?!"

Catarina instantly noticed it was Laura, Takeshi, and Tear!

"You guys! I'm glad you're fine too!" Laura ran towards them with Tear and Takeshi.

"Silva! Are you alright?" Takeshi asked.

"Looks like you three already slayed one of these freaks as well…" Tear said, looking at the corpse behind Catarina.

"Y-Yeah, he was tougher than anything we've ever fought, but he lacked good regeneration." Said Catarina. "Do you guys know what's going on?"

"Not much, but we're looking for a way out, let's go together for now." Laura recommended. "I can sense the presences of our friends nearby, if we can keep breaking these walls, eventually, we'll find them."

"Is that so?" Catarina wondered. "Alright, Blackie will bring us together. Get bigger!"

"AWOOO!"

Blackie's size suddenly multiplied, becoming over ten meters big, everyone could get over his back! This form took a lot of mana, but the wolf had leveled up a lot by now.

"Then allow me to break the walls for you guys!"

Laura's hands overflowed with several explosive chaotic flames, glowing with black, dark red, and purple colors, as she fired them all towards the void walls in front of them!

FLAASH! FLAASH! FLAASH!

The flames reached the walls, exploding one after another until the void walls could not take anymore, shattering into pieces and opening the way for them to advance!

Crack, crack, CRASH!

And when they went through, it wasn't yet another void domain though…

"W-What is this place?"

They found themselves standing in a completely white space. The entire group started analyzing their surroundings, suddenly finding out something odd.

Above the white skies, there was a huge dark blue crystal rotating slowly and endlessly, emanating black lightning, and keeping several void domains stable…

"We're outside?!" Catarina asked.

"Are we?" Takeshi wondered. "This place looks suspicious as hell…"The most update n0vels are published on novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.nᴇt

"But that crystal over there, I bet it is the core!" Laura said. "I can feel the source of all the void coming from it!"

"If we can shatter it…" Tear said. "We might be able to free everyone else!"

"Really?! Let's do it then!" Silva was ready.

However, Catarina stopped everyone from advancing, as she looked at the single, black cloaked man standing below the rotating crystal.

He quickly glared back at them all, with his glowing red eyes. The aura he exuded was more than just a mere low level S Rank like the trash they've fought.

"So you damn bastards have gotten this far…" He spoke. "Congratulations! You will become the first sacrifices for the Great One."
