Chapter 38

Lucky 38

2nd Advanced, this is what they call a person who acquired his second evolution of Term Attribute. His power will modify depends on the foundation of his original power. Take example Lok Rastisia, his first power is called Groggy Term Attribute then it evolved into Vertigo Enducement Term Attribute. 

If you look at it in a simple manner, his one-word Attribute turned into a two-word Attribute. And of course, this means that his power became stronger too. Not only that, his body enhanced to a great extent that he could destroy concrete walls through his finger alone. This is the power of being a 2nd Advanced, the boundary between the 3rd Advanced and normal Users. This is the power they achieved after decades of continuous improvement and utilizing of their Term Attributes. 

Lok became 2nd Advanced after 17 years of hard work. As for Kakyoin Popmouth, he reached that height after 22 years, and it was an easy way. All of the TA Users started at the age of 15 and they could only acquire the 2nd Advanced after a decade or two. Only a talented person like Athena Hercul could reach it in just 6 years, and in that aspect, she's already categorized as Gifted. A human who could step into the Great Beyond. It was basically impossible to fasten that process, well, there are other ways but they are dangerous. 

Overall, being a 2nd Advanced means a lot of things. They are more powerful than an average Term Attribute User, even Scarlett a talented woman won't win against them.

"We are two and you are alone, it's obvious that you will lose here. You're outnumbered. "

Lok stated and Kakyoin nodded agreeing to what he said. Kakyoin was playing with his candy and he appeared nonchalant. 

Scarlett grimly smiled and she knew that they were right, she would only receive injuries if she tried to fight them. However, she couldn't run now. Not in front of Calix, she didn't want to show any cowardice to him, she would rather die. 

'Besides, I already promised Athena that I will fix this problem myself. All they have to do is watch on the sideline.'

She swallowed the blood in her mouth and remain standing. She would show them, to her enemies, her allies, and even to Calix. She was going to win this battle using her everything. This is her battle. 

She grinned, as of right now, her smile looked majestic and insane. 

"I can't fall here."

She raised her hand and decided to use a hateful memory to fuel her power. She recalled what happened earlier, Athena and her father betrayed her. Just solely for the purpose of getting stronger, they didn't help Scarlett and let her face those Term Attribute Users. She was injured and even now her shoulder was tingling in pain. That memory alone was enough to create a powerful fireball that measured the size of a bus. Yet, the enormous sun didn't stop enlarging at all. It was terrifying how the fireball evolved into a star.

"If you can make my power slower and lost its sense of direction, then all I have to do is to make it bigger so that I can hit you."

The atmosphere turned hot, even the ceiling of the hideout turned to ashes. The bright sky started showing yet none could feel the joy.

The people around them felt like it was hard to breathe, even Young Master Chen swallowed hard as he looked at the fireball. He couldn't believe that Scarlett could create something massive like this. The fireball she created last time in training ground was smaller compared to what he was seeing right now. Young Master Chen felt chilling cold despite being close to a sun. 

Scarlett looked like Goku who cast a spirit bomb against Frieza as she called forth the power of nature. The hideout slowly crumbled into ashes as her power expanding with great speed. Scarlett felt like she could create a stronger fire, she sensed that the flame was burning inside her endlessly. She was close, she could feel it. The greater heights.

She tried to make the fire bigger, however, a stinging pain attacked her head and she almost cried because of its intensity. She screamed and lowered her hand, she touched her head as she felt like her skull would crack. 

"Aaahhhhh!!!"

At that moment, the tremendous fireball that she created disappeared in thin air. The power she gathered turned to nothing as she cried because of a painful headache. Then she realized that the world was rotating, no her vision was rotating. A strong giddiness assaulted her as a sensation of whirling and loss of balance happened to her. She felt like she was rotating like a beyblade and it fucking hurts. 

"Young Miss, you are strong, I can give you that. However, don't underestimate us. We are 2nd Advanced, we fought far stronger enemies than you. Besides, you don't even know my power."

Lok smiled as he stared at her with ridicule. He activated his power. When Lok attacked her earlier, he already triggered his power and slowly entered her mind. His Vertigo Enducement Term Attribute was assaulting Scarlett and making her vulnerable.  

The woman kneeled and started vomiting. Slowly but surely, she was losing her mind and might go crazy. The pain in her head was getting stronger, she groaned as she scratched her head with her nails. 

"Scarlett!!"

Calix, who just defeated his enemies with a unique way of fighting(mostly the enemies can't fight 100% because they didn't feel good so he easily defeated them). He rushed towards her and activated his battle suit, he was hurt seeing her like this. He accelerated and tried to reach her but a voice echoed and caught him. 

"Lelolelo lelolelo!"

Kakyoin said and Calix felt like his body was getting wobbly and he couldn't move well. He gritted his teeth and performed his best to reached her, however, his body plummeted to the ground and he lost his strength. To be precise, his body got weaker as if he had rubber bones and he couldn't even lift his fingers well. He was wobbly like a drunken man in a party intoxicated by alcohol. 

"Scarlett…"

He said with determination despite having problems too.
