Lucky 243

The citizens started cheering as they witnessed the soldiers landing on the ground. Despite being injured, where monsters continue opposing, the citizens felt that they were already saved. As if they forget the problem they were facing. The smile on their faces was obvious to see as they watched the soldiers retaliate against the enemies. 

Bronal's eyes swept across the island. He determined that half of the island was already beyond saving. It was sinking and the only thing they could do was evacuate the citizens. 

He jumped out of the portal, then, a screech of a phoenix echoed and materialized. Bronal used the phoenix as transportation. He landed on the ground and looked at the surrounding. 

Everything was broken, from the buildings to the people. He could see dead bodies all around, but he didn't flinch. Witnessing this kind of scene was not new to him. In fact he witnessed more terrifying stuff than this. 

He actually sighed with ease. He confirmed something. He sacrificed his position just to confirm something. 

"... I can't find a blood tree."

He gently muttered. His tense body relaxed and he took a step toward the dead Bakunawa. 

The Demon-God monster was already dead, only ashes remain from its body... 

"Except for the Crystal Heart."

Bronal reached the place and found a woman standing in front of a two meters wide black crystal. 

"So you're here. I thought you are at the Capitolium?"

"..."

Esmeralda asked him but Bronal didn't answer. Instead, he looked at the black crystal before him. 

The crystal had a huge crack in the middle and it seemed that it was damaged. 

Esmeralda's dark Hands inspected the crystal and found something interesting. 

"Hm, looks like a bullet of some sort of heavy rifle. It's quite intriguing that a bullet like this can penetrate a tough scale of a Bakunawa..."

Her eyes were quite glowing as if she found something interesting. She turned to Bronal who was looking from afar. 

"If you are looking for your daughter, she is safe. Looks like she overcame the trial."

He gave her a fierce glare but the woman just shrugged. In terms of seniority, she was above the others. 

"Just be thankful. Your teaching is not wrong."

"I don't want to hear that from you."

"Is that so?"

Confirming that the Bakunawa's crystal heart was still usable despite having a crack, he decided to leave the Vice President. 

"Hey, is that how you should act in front of me?"

Esmeralda glanced at him, the way she said it was quite cold. 

"... I will leave, Master."

"Good."

She smiled and let him leave. 

'The curse of the Vampires. To be exact, it's the Blessing of the Vampires. The Blood Moon is the moment where Vampires received power from the Moon. It is a ritual where they get stronger. However, Vampires are already wiped off from history. Only their impure descendants are alive. Sadly, these few descendants have to suffer because of their impure blood. Whenever the Blood Moon arises, the descendant's blood will become a plant and eat the body until it becomes a full pledge tree. Only strong people could survive it. Thankfully, the children are not affected by the Blood Moon.'

Esmeralda didn't know that Scarlett's mother was a descendant of the Vampires. It was already too late when they found it, the woman had already become a Blood Tree.

"The only way to overcome this trial is by having a great amount of concentration, sheer will, and a tough physique. But it's not easy, and no one can assure that they can overcome the trial. Most of them died."

Bronal promised that he would teach Scarlett to become strong, to overcome the Blood Moon, and survive. He didn't want to repeat what happened to his wife. Losing her was enough. 

"He taught her how to control her Term Attribute. He taught her how to become stronger. He taught her everything so that her chances of surviving will be higher."

Bronal's actions were not justified. Perhaps his way of doing things was wrong. But he didn't have a choice. 

"The chances of surviving are slim."

Bronal could not say to Scarlett that she would die because of a curse. It would affect her growth as a human being and a Vindicator. He understood that Scarlett would be devastated if she found that her life had an end. 

"Bronal may be wrong, but he indeed loves her."

Esmeralda sighed. Having a stupid student like Bronal was disappointing. 

"If he's a little bit honest, perhaps their relationship will become better. Is that what you call a Tsundere?"

She didn't know. She just understands that Bronal is the type of person who takes the blame whenever one of his loved ones died. 

"He is still guilty that he failed to protect his wife that's why he can't look into Scarlett's eyes. He is afraid, a coward."

Anyway, she didn't have the intention of getting into his life. Her job was already finished. 

So, Esmeralda's darkness began devouring the crystal heart. 

This crystal heart was an important ingredient to create a Battlesuit. 

"Sadly, only the Cudgel Tech has the technology to process it."

She clicked her tongue in annoyance. 

"Perhaps I can sell it at a high price, let's see what expression will Mark Cudgel show."

She giggled and the crystal completely disappeared. 

"I will take care of that guy later. Let's give him rest first."

The darkness covered her and she jumped into the portal. Her visit to the Port Of Aoneon was worth it. She had already forgotten it but this event rekindled her memory. 

.........

......

...

"Lady Scarlett!!"

Athena showed up and ran toward her mistress. Scarlett was holding Calix, she appeared to be in distress. 

"Athena! Help me, Calix needs help."

Perhaps because of pushing his body to the limit, Calix's begun bleeding again. He needed a healer to steady his situation.

Athena had an indescribable expression as she looked at the sleeping guy. She wanted to raise her bat and smash the guy's head but she held her anger. 

'This bastard tortured me countless times.'

Indeed, after that fateful day, Athena and Calix had a mutual agreement... Where they would have sex when Scarlett was not around.
