Chapter 330 330 The Girl
"I feel like I'm in the wrong place," Nexus pondered, scanning the worn-out furnishings and ancient tools that adorned the room. The atmosphere felt more like an abandoned workshop than the dwelling of a renowned alchemist.
Venturing further into the unknown, Nexus called out again, "Hello!" The absence of a response heightened his uncertainty. He spied a figure hunched over in the corner, sharpening tools, seemingly oblivious to the intruder.
"Excuse me, are you Dracula?" Nexus inquired, eager to confirm his location. The figure remained engrossed in his work, offering only a nod in acknowledgment.
Persisting with his quest for confirmation, Nexus repeated, "I'm looking for Master Dracula." The figure's lack of response fueled Nexus's growing suspicion.
The monotony of the moment shattered when an unexpected explosion resonated from one of the chambers, sending shockwaves through the room. Nexus's gaze snapped toward the source of the disturbance, eyes widening in surprise. Yet, the man in the corner remained unfazed, dedicated to his task.
A voice pierced through the aftermath of the explosion, belonging to a young girl emerging from the smoky chamber. Her hair, tied in a playful ponytail, hinted at a spirited personality. The robes she wore bore the marks of her alchemical endeavors, stained with dust and ashes.
"Who dares to distract my work?" the girl's voice reverberated, echoing her irritation. She advanced toward Nexus, demanding an answer to her inquiry.
Nexus, caught off guard by the unexpected turn of events, stammered, "Uh, who are you?" The juxtaposition of her fiery entrance and the man's stoic dedication painted a perplexing picture.
The girl's eyes narrowed, scrutinizing Nexus. "Speak quickly, or I might mistake you for an imp and turn you into a newt. What's your business here?"
Nexus, still grappling with the aftermath of the explosion, managed to articulate, "I'm Nexus, and I was looking for Dracula. I heard he's a skilled alchemist, and we need his expertise."n(.0velBIn
The tension in the air was palpable as Nexus found himself entangled in an unexpected confrontation with someone who might be Dracula, the supposed renowned alchemist.
The atmosphere in the cluttered workshop became charged with frustration and disbelief.
The young girl with an intense gaze and a demeanor beyond her years, erupted in a cascade of anger.
Sarcasm dripped from her words as she rebuked Nexus for the audacity of disturbing her precious work.
"You're talking to him," she retorted, her voice laced with sarcasm, as she smirked at Nexus. Her fury was evident as she continued to unleash her wrath upon him.
Nexus, bewildered by the sudden outburst, looked from her to the seemingly oblivious man working at the side. The man maintained his posture, unaffected by the escalating drama.
The young alchemist's face turned red with anger, and her frustration became even more pronounced.
"Someone who doesn't even know who he is looking for has the audacity to disturb my precious work!" she shouted at Nexus, her face turning a fiery red. Her anger was unleashed, and Nexus stood there, shaken by the unexpected turn of events.
"How dare you? And who sent you? Because you both will be faced with my wrath," she shouted, her anger echoing in the confined space.
Nexus struggled to comprehend the unfolding scene. He was caught in the crossfire of an enraged alchemist and a seemingly disinterested bystander. The situation grew increasingly surreal as the young girl's tirade continued.
Her accusations flew like arrows, each word piercing the air with a venomous intent. Nexus, still grappling with the abrupt turn of events, stood rooted in the workshop, his mind racing to make sense of the chaos.
Nexus, still processing the dramatic scene, looked from the man to the young girl in front of him. "This cannot be Dracula," he thought to himself, utterly baffled. He scrutinized her face, trying to make sense of the situation. She appeared to be no older than 15.
"How can such a young lady be the best alchemist in the city?" Nexus questioned within himself, a mix of confusion and curiosity in his eyes.
As the storm of words subsided momentarily, Nexus gathered the courage to speak, only to find himself facing the girl's scathing remarks once again.
"So now you cannot talk," she taunted, her gaze penetrating Nexus's very soul. "You seemed to be talking just fine when you walked in here, talking like you own the place," she added, a bitter laugh accompanying her words.
Nexus, still trying to fathom the situation, found himself at a loss for words. The girl's sharp retorts left him momentarily mute, his attempts to apologize drowned in the sea of her anger.
"Well, I better burn your mouth open and force my answers out of them," she threatened, advancing towards Nexus with an intensity that left no room for negotiation.
The workshop seemed to shrink as the distance between them closed.
As she approached, Nexus couldn't help but notice the dust and ashes settling on her dark hair, a testament to her immersive involvement in her alchemical pursuits. Her presence, though small in stature, exuded a commanding energy that demanded attention.
Nexus finally caught his tongue as his eyes wandered back to her face and he saw the angry look on it "Oh shit" he thought.
Nexus, finally finding his voice, offered a sincere apology, bowing slightly as a sign of respect. "I am really sorry to have invaded your privacy like this," he began to apologize, hoping to defuse the tension. However, the young alchemist was not in the mood for apologies.
"Oh, now you can talk, stinky," she remarked, staring straight into his soul.
"I am really sorry," Nexus kept apologizing, recognizing the need to salvage the situation. "I was sent here by a dear friend, Nora and asked to find Dracula'
With the name Nora, Dracula seemed to calm down a little however she still kept her defenses up. "Nora you say" she asked nexus
"Yes Nora, I am very close to the Russel Family and I was sent here to find the famous alchemist Dracula"
She looks at him with much suspicion. "And who are you and why did they send YOU?" she inquired, doubting his sincerity "I mean there was no other wise lad they could send and they had to send a dimwit like you" she cursed.
Nexus was taken back by her words. He had never been this riled up by a female not to talk of one so young. He could see that this young girl welded so much power.
"I was just taken aback because I did not expect the Dracula they spoke about to be a female, not to talk of one so young." Nexus tried to explain.
"I see," the girl smirked. "Maybe you can go find your male and adult Dracula then, Mr. Nexus, and leave me to my work," she hissed, starting to turn back to where she came from.
"Oh, no, no," Nexus pleaded, holding her shoulders and forcing her to stop walking away. She gave a quick look with the side of her eye, and Nexus dropped his hands to his sides. "It is you I am looking for; I didn't mean to be condescending," he said, desperately trying to explain.
