Acht looked at Leislet who was now unconscious with cold eyes, her blood had already tarnished his clothes and wet his body but he didn't care at all. He just gently held her and put her down in the most comfortable position as if he was taking care of one of his most precious items.
Then, he took out her spatial ring and put it on his finger. He didn't want to take everything since he only took out the capsule with the Midnight song in it and then put the ring on Leislet's chest gently.
He inspected the capsule and the sword inside for a few monts before he put it in his spatial ring as if nothing happened.
The blood was still oozing out of her stomach but it didn't reach a lethal stage that would kill her. Her body was way too strong for this re injury to kill her.
Then, he shifted his eyes to the Nightingale mber with a broken mask. He had already stood up and was also looking at Acht.
"I suppose things went as planned. So, let say this officially. Welco to the team, Acht." He said with fake courtesy.
However, the only response he got was a cold glare from Acht before he turned around and walked to the other side of the street where the fight was still ongoing.
No one could know what he was thinking of, or what kind of feelings he had at the mont.
His hollow figure clad in white clothes ant for hospitalized people was a weird sight to see in all this destruction and chaos.
It took him a few monts to reach there. He took a look at how the fight was going before he intercepted.
*BOOOOMM*
Scarlett was still in advantage at the mont since she kept following the enemy and striking with her sword like a teor of flas. She had rendered the place like hell. The temperature was also unbearable for any normal human.
"Haaaaah!!"
Another shout followed by a loud explosion shook the area violently. The mouse and cat fight was nowhere near being over.
However, as if she sensed sothing weird, the red-haired beauty stopped her rampage and looked in a certain direction. There, she saw the silhouette of Acht who stood there motionless.
She didn't believe her eyes at first since she imdiately rubbed them a few tis.
Then, with a delighted face filled with shock, she ran towards him like a raging bull. But her ignorant move opened up her defenses and the Nightingale mber exploited it as they jumped at her trying to plant their sword in her back and kill her imdiately.
"Stop."
Acht said and pointed his finger at Scarlett. The woman then was pushed a few tens of ters, making her avoid the upcoming sword.
Seeing how their attack didn't hit, they looked at Acht with a glare that seed to be capable of penetrating the mask and reaching him.
"Why did you do that?" They asked with an extrely cold tone.
"None of your business." The boy answered as he looked at Scarlett who had a whole different expression at the mont.
She had already discovered Leislet who was laying down in a pool of her own blood not that far away. She also saw the Nightingale mber she was fighting before standing near Acht.
'What is going on?!' She couldn't understand what was happening.
Why was Acht standing with them? Why are they not attacking him? Why is he ignoring the fact that Leislet was potentially dying?
All these questions kept filling up her mind like an endless torrent. So, she went with the easiest route to solve all of this. She wanted to shout at them for doing another trick on her like an illusion from before.
But, the next words she heard ended every hope in her heart that this was not real.
"I stabbed her," Acht said while eyeing Scarlett coldly. She had never seen that gaze from him even when he severed their relationship not too long ago. It seed distant, empty, and even inhuman to a point.
"...What?" She managed to mutter through her teeth.
"I stabbed her and I took the Midnight song. I will also leave with them. Goodbye"
He then turned around, intending to leave without even a second thought. He didn't even look at her twice.
"W-Wait!! What's going on?! What happened to you, Acht?!!" She asked as she tried to approach him but ended up stopping because of the other two.
"I have already chosen my next goal. It's none of your business what happened to or what I did." He spoke without turning around.
"No! This is not you! They must've manipulated you!!! Yes, that's the truth! You can't do sothing like that!"
"Are you an idiot? I said that it was my choice. Don't dare to stop !" He threatened with a loud tone.
His words seed to break her will as she fell down to the ground motionless, with her eyes widened to the extre.
"You deal with your own life and I will deal with mine. If our paths cross again, we are enemies."
Then, with calm steps, he walked away along with the other two people to the platform.
The mont he reached the steps, he heard the loud cries of Scarlett who kept weeping with her hands covering her face.
But, not even that made him look back, he just stepped up the stairs as calmly as he could be.
When he turned around, he saw the two mbers of Nightingale walking to his side. One of them was grumbling under their breath and the other was sohow happy for so reason.
"Let's go. I don't want to stay here."
He said to the two. The light of the portal soon lit up and engulfed all of them.
After that, they all disappeared. Scarlett was a witness to this scene. She was still in disbelief at what happened. It was too quick, too sudden, and too unbelievable that she couldn't think it was possible.
"...Why? Hick…why?" She muttered continuously like a broken doll. A doll that had experienced fate in its cruelest forms.
[VOLU 3 END]
(A//N: Damn, that was intense even for . Thank you for reading this volu. It was enjoyable to write for but it certainly lacked a lot. I still have a lot to learn and improve. Anyway, I have one small request for my loyal readers. It might sound like a pity request but I really would be totally grateful if any of you could gift a castle or higher. I never felt that feeling of getting a castle before and I hope you will grant my request. Until next ti.)
