Chapter 237
Lucky 237
[Shout out to Tim Hohmann and Brady Longwell.]
When Calix was desperate to save Scarlett, he gained enlightenment and his Term Attribute evolved.
'Fate Reversal, the power to change destiny.'
It was a powerful Term Attribute that even Calix was amazed at. He could not believe that there is an ability like this, furthermore, it was his ability.
'Hero Rank, huh...'
He did not have enough knowledge about this class because it was washed away by history.
'Anyway, it's not the time to think about it.'
Calix said to himself as he grabbed the pistol. While having sex, his mind became clearer and learned how his new power works.
'I can change the fate of a person, from bad to good. From good to bad... but there's a lot of conditions.'
Right now, Calix could not experiment to further understand his new Term Attribute.
However.
'In this state, where my body is burned and I'm going to die: this is the best moment to test my ability.'
Calix thought of it.
To be honest, he was afraid of pointing his gun on his head but it was now or never. He might as well do it.
The Blood Moon is still going on and as time goes on, it is going to be dangerous for them to stay here.
So Calix gritted his teeth and released all of his courage to pull the trigger.
--Bang!
"Calix!"
Together with the scream of the girls, the loud gunshot echoed.
In slow motion, the bullet came out of the pistol, it had an azure aura as it touched Calix's skin.
However, the bullet did not penetrate his skin... Because it was not a real bullet, it was a rubber bullet.
"Ack--! Guh! I know that rubber bullet is not deadly but damn! It still fucking hurts!"
Calix groaned as he curled up. His head was stinging. The bullet didn't kill him but it was still painful.
"What? I'm not that crazy to use a real bullet on me!"
He said. He used the bullet to pass the azure aura to his body.
"Calix! Are you okay!!"
Scarlett and Marianne approached him. They were worried as they heard him screaming in pain.
"What did you do?"
Marianne sighed in relief when she found that Calix didn't shoot himself with a real bullet. She almost fainted when she saw him shooting himself. Even now her heart was still beating so fast.
"Hehe, it's nothing. I'm just doing an experiment."
"Experiment? Calix, you shot yourself!! Don't ever do that again!"
"Okay, I promise."
Scarlett glared at him. She was nervous too. Sometimes she could not understand what was running in Calix's head.
How could he shoot himself? Even if it was a rubber bullet, it was still frightening.
"You should be. Shooting a rubber bullet at that close distance is dangerous. It's fortunate that nothing bad happened."
"Maybe I'm just Lucky."
Calix regained his strength as he slowly stood up.
"Calix your body! It's healing!!"
Both women were surprised as they witnessed how his injuries began healing. His flesh was gradually covered with new skin. All of his bruises disappeared too.
"Wow..."
They looked at him with amazement.
"How did you do that?"
"I will tell you later. For now, we have to leave here and find the others."
Calix waved his hand and the spatial ring that he was wearing glowed and spat three sets of clothes. One for him, and one for each of the women.
His gratitude for Kimberly further increased as he realized how practical the space ring was. Sadly, Kimberly only created two space rings because it was time-consuming, and creating one needed tremendous concentration. One mistake and the ring would turn into a failure.
The three began wearing the clothes. They were baggy for the two girls because the size of the clothes was for men. Furthermore, each of them wore a battlesuit just to be safe.
"Let's go. I know where we can find Nikki."
They began walking away.
However, an ear-deafening cry shook their very existence.
"Kaaaaaarrrrggghhhh--!!"
It was so loud that their eardrums almost popped. They immediately covered their ears and duck down, hiding from the danger.
"What is happening!!?"
They were shocked and afraid.
Only a few creatures could do this kind of frightening roar.
They felt that their stomachs were churning.
They could sense it. An enormous creature was going to show up. Even though they could not see it, they could feel its presence.
Marianne and Scarlett's expressions turned pale. They want to vomit. The pressure was so strong that they could not move.
Gradually, the cry of the creature disappeared but the three of them still had tinnitus.
They gasped for air, it was so suffocating that they almost pee in their newly worn pants.
"Gahah--! Agh!"
Marianne failed to hold herself and vomited. That pressure was too much.
"T- that's a Demon-God, no explanation needed! That's a Demon-God!"
Even Scarlett was frightened. In her whole life fighting Aberrants, this was the first time that she experienced a Demon-God.
"Calm down, guys! We have to calm down and think of a way to--"
"Gtrrraaahh!!"
Sadly, it seemed that the situation turned worst.
The island had been split in half!
The ground began to shake, and they completely lost their balance and stumbled.
Then, a giant creature sprung from the middle of the island!! It was so big that it almost covered the red sky.
They witnessed for the first time, the true destruction. The manifestation of a Demon-God!
"That's a Bakunawa..."
Calix was stunned that he didn't know what to do. He stared at the magnificent yet frightening creature.
He felt that hope was shattered and their lives were going to disappear together with the island. His hands were trembling as he tightly held his weapon.
Bakunawa, it is a species of giant serpents that are living in the ocean. They are Aberrants that mostly live deep within the trenches of the ocean. They are territorial and aggressive.
The weakest class that a Bakunawa can be is a Tiger-Class, and the strongest is a Demon-God. This means that the whole species of Bakunawa can be an army of Tiger-Class Aberrants or even stronger.
Even a single Bakunawa Demon-God could eradicate this island.
"Shit!"
That was the only thing that Calix could say.
They were in deep shit.
