Lucky 232
Destiny, a situation that was inevitable. Where consequences lead to a predetermined path.
Perhaps this moment was part of that. Perhaps Scarlett was meant to die here. Maybe the Blood Moon was part of the same fate that was going to happen. Fate may seal the future.
However, there were chances and choices that may break fate and create a miracle. A few examples were a poor person winning a lottery and turning the table, overcoming his future. An actor that was deemed to be forgotten but because of a single film, his life's direction completely changed.
In a way, fate would never be finalized and even if there were factors that may seal a person's fate, there were still opportunities to change it.
What was the best way to turn a miserable fate? Hardwork? But sometimes hardwork was not enough, it needs opportunities, and opportunities are closely related to Luck.
Luck may be the best way to destroy fate, the way to flip the situation and become successful.
In a spec of milliseconds these ideas entered Calix's mind, he was sober the whole time despite being burned alive. His prickling skin was melting, the Battle Suit was not enough to protect him despite having heat resistance. This means that the heat that Scarlett is releasing is so powerful.
"Hrughh...!!"
Calix gritted his teeth, he tasted the taste of iron as blood slowly lunged up from his organs. It was painful.
Still, Calix couldn't take his mind from the enlightened. That Luck is connected to fate, and sometimes, Luck destroyed fate.
"If this is Scarlett's destiny, to die here, then I will do my best to create another destiny!! Where she will live, where we live happily together!!"
He screamed at the top of his lungs.
The creature that he was hugging was getting weaker. The flame that the creature was releasing was decreasing its lifespan. Once the flame lost its life, the creature would die too.
The tree from her back expanded, slowly becoming a full-bloomed tree. Its red color signifies the blood that it absorbed from Scarlett.
"Ggrrr..."
The creature weakly growled. Perhaps it would die here. Scarlett didn't have the strength to fight the transformation.
Calix squeezed the creature's cheeks. He smiled and looked into her eyes, he believed that Scarlett was still there.
"I love you."
He said and kissed her lips. The creature lost the will to struggle. The creature kneeled and the tree on her back bear red beautiful flowers, the flowers bloomed in the middle of destruction.
However, Calix opened his eyes and regained his fighting spirit. While kissing the weak Scarlett, Calix raised his hand.
"That's why I will never give up!"
The dormant Mento transformed into a handheld chainsaw!
His eyes were serious, and using his other arm, he hugged Scarlett tightly. Then, without hesitation, he began cutting the tree on her back!!
Calix held the chainsaw, never releasing it. The fully grown tree was getting cut, the tree discharged blood and the blood splattered all around. Calix's burned face was painted red, it was painfully stinging. But it didn't stop him from cutting the tree!!
"Graaaahhhhhh!"
The creature screamed in pain. Scarlett cried, her weak stance disappeared and began struggling. Her claws started grazing Calix, she injured him rapidly. She bit his neck and chew his flesh so that he would stop.
However, instead of losing his strength, Calix remained still.
"I will not stop!! I will not stop until I see you again, you are mine!!"
He commanded. The wounds didn't make him flinch. Rather, his hand that was holding the chainsaw further pushed into and reached half of the tree.
Marianne, who was witnessing the horrible scene, wanted to prevent Calix from killing himself.
"Calix!"
The flame was killing Calix, his skin was nonexistent and his flesh could be seen. Any longer and he would die.
Marianne ran and tried to stop him.
"No, don't stop him! It's dangerous!"
Devon blocked her, he tackled the woman so that she won't get closer.
"Don't stop me! Can't you see that Calix is going to die!"
Marianne cried and struggled. She attempted to escape but Devon's physical strength was strong. She couldn't escape his grasp. They were both 2nd Advanced, but because of their gender, Devon has a physical advantage.
"Let go of me!!"
She sought.
"Marianne, it's dangerous to go there! The flame will kill you! Calix knew that once he was touched by the flame, he can never escape!! He's gambling his life!"
"I know that! That's why I have to stop him!"
Her tears were flowing nonstop, her vision was covered in tears. She couldn't accept it if Calix died.
"You have to believe in Calix. I don't know what's going on but I believe that Calix will overcome this. Just trust him."
To be honest, Devon didn't know where this confidence was coming from. All he knew was that Calix was not an ordinary person. Calix could do it.
'That's all I can do. We will only die if we get close to them, that flame is dangerous.'
Surrounding Calix and Scarlett were the blood and the endless flame. They were both suffering from the pain, but Calix was much stronger. Suddenly, his hair started growing longer.
He acquired it. His second Term Attribute. But it was not simple.
Calix didn't become a 2nd Advanced, he transcended.
There was a certain myth, there was a hidden class that only a few people could achieve. No one could clarify this claim because no one achieved this class for the past hundreds of years. Except for one, the Legendary Hero, Arthur Pendragon.
That's right, Calix acquired the secret class.
Calix Romoel became a Hero! An existence that would vanquish the darkness!!
