*Smash*
The sound of the crystal stuck in Claudia's earring shattering into pieces, it Indicates a bad feeling that has just occurred.
"Claudia!" Deric said in a trembling voice as if he knew that this was definitely not normal.
"Dear! Mariel." Claudia began to feel bad because this was the earring she had put on one ear for Mariel too. She personally put it on the other side as a warning when danger comes to her daughter but if the crystal shatters to pieces, it indicates that the danger may be death.
"Let's teleport to the school now!" Derik said, taking his magic wand in a hurry.
"Let's go!" Claudia responded, prepared her own magic healing wand and cast a special spell to instantly teleport them to the large teleportation pole at the school.
As for Principal Hector, he felt this bad feeling too because he was interested in Mariel and her unique abilities, he cast some magic spell inside her without anyone knowing and this made him worry about this situation.
"What happened? Master Hector." the chairman of the general meeting asked after seeing Hector's expression abnormal.
"Something happened at school. I'll go back now." Hector said as he hurriedly stood up and headed out the door of the main meeting room.
The sound of the door sliding open quickly. This caused Elizabeth, who was waiting outside and had a shocked expression on her face.
"Master Hector! What happened? Why did you rush out of the meeting so early." Elizabeth asked.
"Let's go back to the school now!" Hector ordered in a firm voice.
"Understood." Elizabeth agreed immediately.
Hector then conjured a large teleport warp core in front of them, the destination was the teleportation pillar field in front of the school building, and they quickly walked into the warp.
At the teleportation pole in the school, the remaining four professors, Mania and some others were waiting for Principal Hector and Assistant Elizabeth to return. Suddenly, Deric and Claudia suddenly teleported over with an impatient expression on her face.
"Mother Claudia. Father Deric." Mania said after seeing they arrived.
"What happened to Mariel? Where is she?" Deric asked.
"The guards at the school gate said that Mariel took them down and rushed out of the school immediately." Professor Cassandra said.
"She probably going to look for Beatrix, but we should have waited here until we were ready before going out together." Professor Kiros said.
A large white light appeared in front of everyone. This warp core appeared, and Principal Hector and Assistant Elizabeth emerged together with solemn expressions.
"Principal Hector!" everyone said almost in unison.
"What's happened? Tell me everything!" Hector immediately asked for details.
At that wooden abandon house, Mariel was pierced by dark magic metal claws and died. Her neck dropped and her hands slowly slid down by her sides, along with Beatrix's crying.
"No! Mariel Crying*" Beatrix lost her strength to stand up and look at the dead body of her friend in front of her.
The Killer hurled Mariel's body in front of Beatrix while casting a highly advanced spell. A large flame surrounded Beatrix and Mariel, preventing them from escaping.
"This flame will burn you all to dust until there is nothing left, lol." The Killer prepared the final steps for burning them.
Beatrix hurriedly cradled Mariel's body in her tight embrace. She had no way to escape or do anything anymore. She could only prepare herself to accept the fate of being burned with her friend. The Dragon Slayer Sword teleported back into Mariel's body.
"Hmm?" Magmatrion's voice sounded hopeless, but it was like it received a strange signal within Mariel.
"My two masterpieces of art, show me now!" The Killer shouted loudly as he ordered the flame to quickly burn them.
*Scream! *
Beatrix howled in pain as she and Mariel began to be burned by the flames.
"Lol, I am very satisfying." The Killer laughed out loud.
..............
.........
........
(I'm sorry, Father! Mother! Beatrix! Mania! Magmatrion and others...) Mariel's spirit began to fade along with the last sentence of her apology before her last breath gone.
........
A white light suddenly appeared in the center of Mariel's chest after her body began to burn.
Mariel's eyes woke up bright red!!!
"Awakened? Dark Mariel, Illusory Shadow form, lol." Apophis said loudly while staying in his cave.
A white light soared above the wooden warehouse and into the sky. Even the people living in the houses near the wooden warehouse couldn't see clearly because they were obscured by the mirage curtain. But it couldn't hide the white light that shot up into the sky.
While everyone was preparing to search for them, they noticed a white light coming from the city where wasn't too far away from the school.
"What kind of light is that?" people wondered.
"Let's hurry and go." Hector immediately ordered and immediately headed out of the school with others.
In front of the Killer, it has surprised him because the fierce flames of spells were completely extinguished before our eyes. Beatrix was held close by the pitch-black figure that had protected her from the flames just in time before being burned to dust.
This figure is Dark Mariel who has risen again but this time was different because Mariel's clothes were completely burned. As for her body, it was pitch black, the hair color changed to completely black and grew longer until it reached her butt. The skin had transformed into snake scales, glistening black and the nails on all 10 fingers were longer and sharper than normal.
The sound of breathing coming out of her mouth was like she had just regained consciousness again.
"Whoever hurt my best friend, he will die in pieces! eiei!" A cold laugh sounded out as a smile stretched wide, reaching almost to the ears. Then Dark Mariel, in her illusory form, turned back to face The Killer.
*Wink*
The Red eyes like a serpent stared at The Killer, causing him to tremble quite a bit because he didn't expect to encounter a spell that would cause his body to be unable to move for a moment like this.
"Damn...what kind of spell is this?" The Killer asked curiously.
Dark Mariel looked at her own body, which was completely black with no clothing covering it at all and it made her feel strange a little.
"Oh my god! I'm completely naked. I have to collect the viewing fee from you now." Dark Mariel said in a good mood.
"You still be a sense of humor. I didn't pay you for this!" The Killer replies teasingly.
"Then...You'll have to pay me with your life instead!" Dark Mariel said with a wide, terrifying smile. Her fangs appeared as if she wanted to tear her opponent to pieces with hunger.
"Mariel." Beatrix couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Mariel in another form.
"Just waiting, darling. Everything will be over soon." Dark Mariel said, turning around and smiling.
"And both of you will be died!" The Killer interrupted and rushed his dark magic power to both of his claws, preparing to fight immediately.
"Who asked you to interrupt me? I guess you really want to die. I'll help you then, eiei." Dark Mariel said as she cast her dark magic to the utmost with the sharp claws on both of her hands.
Suddenly, the two of them slammed into each other with such speed that Beatrix could barely see. In front of Beatrix was Mariel, in her shadow form, using her sharp claws to slash at The Killer.
*Clang* *Clang*
The sound of claws from both sides slashing at each other, causing wounds all over their body. The Killer's clothes were torn in many places and the wounds were flowing with blood. As for Dark Mariel, the illusionary form, she had been slashed until she was completely wounded but she laughed in a good mood, as if she was having fun in this fight.
Mariel tried to find a weak point and quickly used her claws to attack at the right thigh of The Killer until he got a serious wound.
"I won't lose!" The Killer shouted loudly in anger as he used his left metal claw to reach its maximum power and slashed at Mariel's right wrist.
*Scream*
Ah.... A cry of pain rang out.
Dark Mariel's right wrist was severed, and black blood flowed out without stopping but it was able to stop with the power of healing magic.
"Lol, what's going on? You became a disabled person now." The Killer laughed happily, holding his ribcage with his hands, trying to use the medicine he had brought with him to treat the wound and stop the bleeding.
"Mariel! Your wrist!" Beatrix said in shock.
But Dark Mariel remained calm, slowly bent down and picked up her wrist to look at it for a moment.
"Look at my masterpiece of art. What part should I cut out next?" The Killer asked.
Dark Mariel did something that others didn't expect. She used the right wrist to fuse it with the missing part of her arm, then used the power of dark magic to make it back into a normal arm as before.
"What! How is that possible? Your right wrist??? Am I in the cartoon world?" The Killer was shocked by this happen.
"What kind of this spell?" Beatrix said and she was also stunned.
Dark Mariel slowly moved her right hand until she was sure everything was fine and then smiled wide and frighteningly.
"Lol! I really like Apophis's Illusory Shadow Form so much!" Dark Mariel said.
"What! Apophis, the legendary snake god! Has he never had a disciple before?" The Killer said in confusion.
"Apophis!" Beatrix tried to recall the knowledge she had in her head about who he really was.
"It's waste of time. Let's finish this fight, dear. I'm in a rush!" Dark Mariel said as she turned up her dark magic and charged at The Killer continuously.
Scorching, scorching, scorching!
The longer they fought, the strength of the Killer and Dark Mariel only began to run out but from Mariel's body healing skill that combines healing magic with the interface of the illusionary shadow body, causing her to clearly hold an advantage until The Killer became more tired.
"Since accepting the missions, I haven't failed even once. Will this be the first time? The opponent was just a schoolgirl who was lucky enough to get a dangerous technique skill to use. She's insulting me too much!" The Killer gritted his teeth in anger and embarrassment.
"Let's finish this!" The Killer shouted as he poured all power into his two metal claws and combined them into a large ball of dark magic with the power of intense destruction.
"Come to me! Eiei." Dark Mariel said and accelerated dark magic power to its maximum in both hands as well.
The sound of the power of the two colliding with each other with such force that it caused the curtain of illusion barrier of The Killer was so warped that a gaping hole appeared in the ceiling of the wooden warehouse. Causing both forces to penetrate the atmosphere in the sky until they can be clearly observed.
"Everyone, there!" Elizabeth, who was helping to search, saw a cloud of energy rising above the wooden warehouse and pointed at the scene.
"Let's go!" Hector commanded, quickly leading everyone.
"My masterpiece of art must not be tainted!" The Killer began to go crazy and used both claws to slash the Illusory Mariel's body, causing gaping wounds all over her body.
"You are so mean, brother. How can you do this to me?" Dark Mariel didn't care how seriously injured she was, but she used her claws to stab The Killer until he had wounds all over his body, not much different from her.
Boom!!!
The sound of the wooden warehouse door shattering as well as the illusory curtain of the Killer who was destroyed by Hector's magic power.
"That's impossible!" The Killer knew that tonight's mission was a failure and prepared to warp away.
"Stop!!!" Hector cast a spell on the two of them, causing them to be unable to use their magic power for a moment.
"It's useless!" The Killer raised his right arm and carried an advanced warp bracelet that could block all kinds of magic.
Hector even expected that The Killer would prepare another escape route.
While the bracelet starts working and the body of The Killer was about to teleport and escape from here.
"Where are you going in such a hurry? My big brother." a cold voice that whispered to his ear until he was caught off guard.
Mariel's sharp claws slashed into The Killer's right arm who was not careful and was torn into two pieces.
"Ah!!!!" The howls of pain from The Killer who didn't expect that he would miss something so easily. It caused the plan to escape to be collapse because the teleportation bracelet only teleported the arm that was severed.
He hurriedly tried to stop the blood flowing from his right arm, not realizing that nightmare was coming.
Mariel stood behind and grabbed The Killer's throat then lifted him high above herself.
"Ouch!" The Killer tried to use both hands to separate Mariel's claws because he couldn't breathe, but it didn't work. Her five claws dug into The Killer's throat until blood flowed out non-stop.
As for Hector, he used his hands to stop the others from helping, knowing that revenge would soon be settled.
"Earlier, you strangled and killed me. Now it's my turn!" After saying that, Mariel used her left hand, which had sharp claws and full dark magic power, to pierce through the back and all the way to The Killer's chest like he had done to her before.
"Ahhh!!!" the last voice shouted out before the killer died at the hand of Dark Mariel with blood continuously gushing out from his own chest.
"Unbelievable! A Master Assassin would be killed here...but..." Deric said.
"Is that Mariel, my daughter?" Claudia said, suspicious of Dark Mariel in front of her. The others were also shocked by what they saw.
Dark Mariel let The Killer's lifeless body fall to the ground while she slowly lowered her head and trembled.
"Mariel, is something wrong with you?" Beatrix asked curiously.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!"
A gush of blood came from Dark Mariel's mouth as her body slowly changed its skin tone back to its original human color. A black smoke emitted from her body without stopping and then...Mariel's naked body collapsed unconscious on the ground. She was in a crisis now and a lot of blood was covering her body. She was completely unresponsive to her surroundings.
"Mariel!"
"No, my daughter!"
"Mariel!!!" The sound of people rushing in to check on her with anxiety.
(You are safe now, Beatrix.) The last sentence in Mariel's thoughts before she lost consciousness.
