Scarlet
After dropping off the civilians at the bunker, we continue on through the train station, just clearing out the zombies where we can until we reach the point where they are too high a level for us, where we then change to stalling tactics. Just fighting off the zombies while working together and holding them in place so that any other civilians we missed wont be in harms way.
Although if it werent for Michaels being here, wed all be zombies by now. And he also makes it convenient since he can cure the infected zombies that havent crossed the point of no return yet. Which makes very happy that Im on the sa team as him. Since these types of Fractures tend to lead to public hatred of so of the Guardians who killed soone who was infected, even if it isnt very logical.
Not to ntion that it just ans we get to save them.
Even if it does get annoying stopping by so many bunkers on the way.
We continue fighting for over an hour, just holding off the higher leveled zombies, hounds, and huntsn until I hear the sound of loud footsteps from far, far behind us. Close to the entrance of the station itself. And the footsteps are clearly human, likely from soone wearing magi-tech armor.
Then I hear their voice speaking into a terminal and quickly recognize the voice as Sylvers.
Ive arrived on scene and am currently heading towards the core, he says before getting a response from Sage answering, Affirmative.
Looks like our backup has arrived! I shout at the others while raising my foot and kicking a zombie a few ters away from , only to grunt as I feel a crossbow bolt cut open my transford forearm before flying straight past it, missing the bone, and hitting only the edge of my arm in the process.
ETA? Michael shouts back, only to say, Nevermind, when all of our terminals buzz, and Sages face appears. She then says, Reinforcents should arrive within the next five minutes.
As if on cue, I hear more sets of footsteps enter the station from various locations. And at the sa ti, I hear the sound of lightning shoot out, following which a steady electrical current runs sowhere by the sounds of it.
Alright, just a little bit longer, I hear Michael calling out as the call with Sage drops.
Yep. Just a little bit longer and Ill be able to go on a SP spending spree.
Of course thats where your minds at, Tar mutters, seemingly exasperated with .
Hey! SP is SP, and skills are skills. I need them to survive if you didnt forget.
Or at least, to not fully beco a demon.
True, he mutters in reply as I barely avoid another crossbow bolt that flies straight over my head after bending backwards slightly. But you can at least take comfort in knowing the blood lycans would never hurt you should you enter Tartarus.
That comnt gives pause, almost making stop in the middle of the battle from the impact it has one .
They what?!
You didnt know? Tar sounds genuinely surprised for a second, only to mutter, Oh, wait. I guess humans wouldnt know the interactions between the demons, now would they? Especially the nobles
My eye twitches as he speaks as if Im not listening. But I continue to fight with the demons all the sa, just hoping that the reinforcents will get here faster.
Please get to the point.
Oh, well, blood lycans are like wolves in a lot of ways, he starts, stating sothing I already know, they share quite a few instincts with them, along with a powerful pride, and a large importance on blood ties. aning they care a lot about those they see as pack, which always includes their blood relatives unless they were expelled from the clan. And even then, they still tend to care about them far more than any other demons.
And youre only telling this now?
I grunt as I feel a hound charging headfirst into my hips, knocking forwards, further into our formation, breaking it for the split second before I grab the hound and tear out its throat, quickly climbing back to my feet to refill the gap. But during that ti, a couple of level 34 zombies made it through, only to be stopped by Michaels treants before they could do any real damage.
This really isnt the ti to be having this conversation.
Guess you have a point, Tar says before adding, after the reinforcents arrive then?
I nod my head while spinning around and doing a roundhouse kick to the face of an infected zombie who was already past curing judging by its grayish black skin, sending its head clean off of its body the head being attached only by a rather rotted neck, which was obviously where the other zombie had originally infected it.
The battle then continues for a few minutes, none of us taking any serious injuries thanks to Michaels healing. And right when Im beginning to worry about not only my own mana, but Michaels as well, reinforcents finally arrive in the form of Sylver blasting by us while using literal chains of silver lightning as a mode of transportation sohow.
How does that even work?
Your work is over here, I hear soone that I dont recognize say, bringing my attention to a man with a familiar face. One of the many Guardians of the Silver Association that Allen had rember, or at least look over the details of to familiarize myself with them even the slightest bit. Seeing as were coworkers. Fall back and let us handle the rest. Youve done well.
The voice belongs to a beautiful woman wearing a dress for so reason in the middle of a zombie filled train station during a Fracture. But after a second, I catch so flashes of red light from the dress, along with the sensation of mana pulsing in it, marking it as magi-tech.
Just for so reason in the form of a dress.
Isnt that hard to fight in?
The woman practically has the body of a model, being quite a bit taller than with beautiful blue eyes, blonde hair, and smooth skin. The only thing that stands out on her aside from the dress of course are the two strange lines streaking down her arm and up her neck. Kind of like snakes but seeming to be alive.
So sort of skill? Or maybe her reality warp?
The woman just glides past , her feet sohow not touching the ground. But I can still hear sothing touching the ground, so I know she isnt floating per se.
So many unique types of magic I wonder if theres a limit?
Actually, never mind that.
Tar, please continue what you were talking about.
