Chereads / Cupid, The Strongest Love Counselor / Chapter 8 - Red Chain Force Field

Chapter 8 - Red Chain Force Field

Back in the real world, Geon was shaking and having a seizure, blood was coming out of his mouth, eyes, ears, and nose. The A.H.A members around were saying in a panicking tone:

"What's happening to him?!"

"What the-?!"

"He's bleeding everywhere!"

"What do we do?!"

"Call the healers over here!"

"It's too late.."

Geon was laying dead on the ground, with his eyes wide open, and a pool of blood leaking and growing widely from under his corpse.

The A.H.A members said to each other:

"He's dead…"

"But how…"

"Is it really too late?"

"Yeah."

"He has the same tattoo as Kang!"

"We need to contact our Executives quick. What were the Raven family trying to do here? What did they want?"

At that moment, Yin was dashing through the road, he was holding his staff, and he exclaimed, "HAHAHA! KILL! KILL! KILL!"

A few A.H.A members saw him, saying, "He has the Raven's dragon tattoo as well!"

"Take him down!"

"He's covered in tons of amounts of mana!"

"Assault group, strike first! Armor group, follow up with defense, then long range group, hit them next, then healer group, stay in the back and be ready to heal the wounded just in case! We'll be able to handle this due to our ranks, don't falter!"

Yin said, "Booooooy how dumb are you humans?!"

The assault group were about to strike first, but in a split milisecond, Yin zipped past them with his staff, and the ground caved in along with some buildings, and the A.H.A members blasted away and hit boulders, with all their bones being broken, with blood leaking everywhere, and the wind from Yin's impact spiraled into the air, almost forming a mountain sized hurricane.

Yin was zipping past dozens of A.H.A members, screaming, "OHHH HOW FRAGIL! BEING THE LITERAL EMBODIMENT OF ANTEROS SURE HAS IT'S PERKS!"

Yin leaped into the air, and he held his staff out, saying, "Extend: Yuma."

His staff extended largely, it widened greatly, and it was about 50 feet long now.

On the ground, Nari, Bora, and Minjun were standing there, prepared for Yin's approach.

Nari had her glowing sword out, Minjun had his gauntlets out, and Bora was holding a glowing red chain in her hand, and her body was outlined with a red color.

Bora said, "Finally. Some action! By the way, if I'm hit in the my pretty face, I'll offing myself."

Nari replied, "You're insane."

Minjun said to Bora, "I can see if you looked like Nari, then that's the only time that is rational, because Nari's face is beautful and radiant, like the sun-."

Nari exclaimed, "Shut up. Creep."

Bora pointed at Minjun, and smirked, "You got rejected again. Loser. Loser."

Minjun responded, "Shut up!"

Nari looked up in the sky, and saw Yin, and she said, "That creature, it has the Raven's dragon tattoo as well. I never seen anything like that creature until today."

Minjun added, "Yeah. And due to his mana, I'd say he's well over a level 1 ranked monster. We possibly could stand a chance against his freak ass monkey lion thing."

Bora said, "Let me tame him and take him as a pet. He's adorable!"

Nari and Minjun said at the same time, replying to Bora, "Of course you'd say that."

Bora said, "WHATEVER. Anyway, it is odd, knowing that based on what we know, everyone in the Raven family are humans. How did they make a contract with a creature such as this? And why does it have the tattoo? The Awakened humans in the Raven family are people who do terrorizing shit like kidnapping people."

Nari answered with a question, "Question is, did they make a contract with this being to begin with?"

Yin was coming down, and Nari closed her eyes, clenched her sword, chanting, "Rain Dance…form one."

Suddenly, rain began to fall, and Nari turned into a mist.

'Rain Dance, form one. Rain Dance has 3 forms, each form depends on how much mana is taken from me. Each one is stronger than the other, but it's wise to not use the strongest first, or I won't be able to fight anymore today..'

Her mist form swayed through the raindrops, and she was saying peacefully, "As the water hits the air, that's where my sword will be, where my enemy stands, that's where my blade will sing…"

A mist formed around Yin, and he looked confused.

Nari jumped from the mist, and she slashed her sword at Yin. Yin gasped, "What-?!"

Yin quickly stopped the attack with his staff, and he and Nari were in the air, and they were holding their weapons against each other, and Yin thought, 'Huhhhh? She's holding back my staff Yuma? That sword wielding…'

Yin said, "Ehhhh? That's weirddddd as hell! No regular human can hold back Yuma! That sword you're holding is a mythic sword…the mana within it feels familiar, just like your own mana. I can't like, put my fingerssss on it, but if that weapon is linked to your original power, then you must be-."

Bora swished behind Yin with her chain, exclaiming, "Oi ya ugly bastard, no one can fight my rival besides me!"

Bora threw her glowing red chains at the end of Yin's staff, and it latched onto it, and Bora started to pull, trying to pull the staff from Yin's grip so Nari could get a hit on.

Yin said to Bora, "Hahahaha! Awwww, cuteeee! But it's no use-."

Minjun dashed up towards them with his fist gauntlets and yelled, "Get the hell off of Nari!"

Yin said to Minjun, "Get a grip, nerd. She doesn't love you."

"GASP! HOW DARE YOU!"

Minjun started to punch the air with his gauntlets, yelling, "MACHINE GUN BOMB!"

Explosions began to blast in mid air, with green and white lights surrounding it; the explosions were getting bigger and bigger, and they were reaching Yin.

Yin smirked, and said, "You're alllll adorable, but, not cuter than me.0

Yin whipped his tail around, grabbed Nari by the ankle, spun her around, and made her hit Bora and Minjun at the same time, then threw her down, making Nari, Bora, and Minjun hit the ground in a pile of rubble together, but they were covered by a ball of red chains, created from Bora's power.

Minjun said, "I forgot you could do this!"

Bora replied, "Duh! Idiot! We're gonna lose though!"

Nari responded, "We're not! We're not weak! I'm not weak!"

Minjun said, "Nari.."

Yin was walking towards them, saying, "Hiding in a chain force field thingyyy? Laaame! Come out and fight! Or I'll just destroy it myself!"

Minjun, Bora, and Nari were bleeding from the top of their heads to their feet.

Nari said, "Yo, Bora."

Bora answered, "What?"

"Open..this fucking ball, now."

"Uh, are you crazy? He'll kill us! I'm getting us outta here!"

"I'm not a punk, I didn't train this much just to run from some monster. That's why I tracked Cupid down, I wanted to know how and why he is so strong. And quite frankly, I relate to him a lot. I'm known as the serious and stuck up girl with trust issues who won't let anyone into my life, I'm already labeled as such, I won't be labeled as a pussy running from a fight. I didn't join the A.H.A to avoid fighting when that is my entire purpose."

Minjun said, "She has a point."

Bora elbowed him on the stomach, and said, "Shhh. I know."

Nari got her sword ready, and said, "He's getting closer. Open it, I'll catch him by surprise."

Minjun held his stomach, saying, "Bad idea! Let me go! I'll hold them off while you two look for an opening!"

"No thanks."

Yin pointed his staff forward, and said, "Hereee IIIIII COMEEEE!"

Yin dashed forward at light speed, with black and white electric shocks blasting from his staff.

Nari, Bora, and Minjun braced themselves as they gritted their teeth.

The staff got close, but Cupid stepped in front of it, stopping the staff with one finger. He was in his Valentine's Day form, and Nari, Bora, and Minjun saw him.

Yin exclaimed, "C-Cupid?!!!"

Cupid replied, "I'm famous I guess."

Nari said, "You..!"

Bora was drooling with her cheeks red, saying, "That's Cupidddd! My new husband!"

Minjun said, "That's the no-mana-punch guy? He's not all that."

Cupid looked back at Nari, and said, "Damn. He fucked ya up pretty good. Got ya' bleeding all over the place."

Nari chuckled, "Shut up, idiot. THESE two got in my way," Nari pointed at Minjun and Bora.

Minjun and Bora said at the same time to Nari, "YOU RAT!"

Cupid said, "Well uh, okay then. Who's this thing?"

Yin said, "THING?? I AM A FAMILIAR! A FAMILIAR OF GEON! CREATED BY ANTEROS!"

"That guy with the glowing white horns and tattoo? Yeah I fucked him up In the paradox. What happened to him anyway?"

"He's dead! All dead! Fully dead! He got what he deserved for being weak! Anteros made sure he paid the price for his weakness!"

"Yeahhh I heard that name from that Geon guy. Seems like he wants to see me. But, my schedule is a little busy, I have appointments to tend to after I help Kang's parents. You wouldn't know how the dark shadow thingies are made do you?"

"What are you talking about?? And yes, Anteros wants youuuu! He wants to seee youuu!"

"I'm too busy. My business hours are 24 hours a day. It does make me wonder who he really is, and why he's interested in me."

"I'll never talk!"

"Cool, cool. If you can say that, then say you'll never die."

"Hehhhh? Why?"

Cupid just stared at him, and Yin gasped, saying, "Okay! Okay! Don't kill me! I'll talk!"

"Liar liar."

"No!"

"You know there's a risk in spilling information."

"As a familiar, we are indebted to the ones who we choose to be assigned to. Anteros suggested Geon to me, and I liked Geon's style, so I said yes! From that moment, Anteros made me belong to Geon, not Anteros! So now that Geon is dead, I get to choose who I'm indebted to. I would no longer be under Antero's supervision if I'm transferred to be your familiar. Since Geon was under Antero's influence and power, so was I. But you aren't under any influence or power, so I wouldn't be watched.l

"Be my familiar then. I could use a mascot. But aren't you still connected to Anteros if he created you?"

"I ammmmm. And I'm a part of himmm! So I hate you and I admire youuu at the same time!! But your power somehow will break the link between me and Anteros, making me my own being! Hopefully! I'm guessing it will!"

Yin started to change color, he turned dark pink and white, and his staff turned dark pink and white with hearts on it.

He said, "Done! It worked! I no longer feel the connection…between me and Anteros!"

Yin thought, 'I only have the memories Anteros gave me, none of them have anything to do with the day Cupid fought the gods and immortals; Anteros probably is using that as a fail-safe. But Cupid's power was able to break the link between me and my creator. How strong was he…back then? And nowwwww?'

Nari, Bora, and Minjun were shocked.

Minjun said, "This guy is working with the bad guys now?!"

Nari said, "No..that's not it!"

Other A.H.A members around saw, saying:

"He just made a contract with the enemy!"

"He's one of them!!"

Nari stood up, saying, "Wait! Stop!"

Bora said, "My husband made a contract with the bad guy's pet!!"

Minjun pointed at Cupid, saying, "You're done now! Surrender!"

Nari stood in front of Cupid, protecting him, saying to the A.H.A members, "As much as I hate to say it, this idiot is not a criminal! He just needs answers! And so do I!"

They replied:

"He's working with the enemy! He bears the Raven dragon tattoo-…?"

The tattoo on Yin was gone, and it was replaced with a red heart.

Yin gasped in excitement, "GASP! AWESOMEEE! NEW INK!"

Cupid looked Yin up and down, saying, "Ugh. It needs work."

The A.H.A members and some A.H.A Executives yelled:

"Surrender, now!"

Minjun said to Cupid, "Nari is protecting you?! EVERYONE KILL HIM!"
