Chapter 1816: Emil's Shock
Chapter 1816: Emil's Shock
RUMBLE! BOOOM! BAAAM!
The sound of explosions and clashing echoed across the huge laboratory right after Drake's family entered the underground area. At first they had to fight dozens of security robots that couldn't be hacked by Kate as quickly, and right in that moment, Drake decided to go to an adjacent room where he could sense a lot of the people responsible for everything.
While that happened, Benladann, Miranda, Benladra, Kate, and Drakda accompanying Emil moved to the right path after they decided to split with Drake who went to the left path. As they ran and inspected the rooms, filled with robots they had to destroy and runaway doctors that were quickly killed by Miranda and Benladann's long-ranged magic attacks and guns, Emil continued gasping for air.
It was already shocking he was seeing so many people dying today, but aside from that shock, something within him was beginning to awaken. His heart was beating super-fast, and even his head was hurting, constantly pulsating agonizingly.
"Ugh... Guh...!"
Suddenly, he fell to his knees, as Benladra noticed and ran towards him.
"Emil! What's wrong?!"
"Ugh... I feel so nauseous, something is coming out of my head... Argh!"
"E-Emil!"
Benladra quickly hugged the boy and imbued her powers into his body, healing him constantly so he wouldn't feel as much pain.
"Ah! Aah..."
Emil sighed in relief, the pain was almost gone, but whenever Benladra stopped healing, it would return even more painfully.
"T-Thank you Benla- GUH?!
BA DUM!
His heart started beating even faster as suddenly...
"It hurts...!"
BA DUM!
"My body... I can't feel it..."
BA DUM!
"Why... WHY?!"
BA DUM!
"My blood is drained every day..."
BA DUM!
"I'm nothing but a sack of blood to them..."
BA DUM!
"Why was I born?"
BA DUM!
"It hurts so much... I want to die... make it stop!"
BA DUM! BA DUM! BA DUM!
Dozens after dozens of voices started whispering inside of his head, making Emil suddenly feel an even more aching pain within his brain all the way down his spine.
"Uuaaaggghh!"
"Emil?! Hang in there!"
Emil started grabbing his head and scratching his forehead in agony, pulling his long white hair and crying blood, Benladra's healing could barely do anything now.
"What is happening?!"
"Voices! I hear so many voices inside of my head! Hundreds of voices! Hundreds of agonizing voices! They're suffering! They're in so much pain! HUNDREDS OF YEARS OF PAIN! AARRRGGHH!"
THUD!
And as he screamed, suddenly, Emil started bleeding from his nose and fell to the ground, hitting his head into the cold metallic floor and passing out on the spot.
"Eh?! AHH!"
Benladra panicked, as she quickly healed him, wrapping his body around a part of her Domain, Starly, so he could be healed constantly while being protected.
"We have to get keep moving! Ah, where's mom and the rest?!"
Benladra glanced into the distance as she heard her mother and the rest of the family fighting hundreds of robots.
However, when she faced behind her, she found someone else entirely.
"Found ya.'
"H-Huh?"
Benladra's eyes widened as she found someone completely different. She was unable to even detect her coming here.
It was a tall woman, as tall as her mother, with azure-colored skin, which, beneath the strong light of the red lights over the ceiling revealed many little, transparent scales that covered her body, that shone in rainbow color.
She was wearing skin-tight black colored cowboy clothes. Her long red hair reached her hips, and her sharp crimson eyes looked down at Benladra with bloodshed and a cold heart...
Holding a huge rifle, she pointed it at Benladra's forehead.
"I don't care if you're a child."
"Wha...? Who are you!"
Benladra tried to move, only to quickly feel an immense force keeping her right in the place she was. An immense psychic force of crimson color, encompassing her entire body.
She didn't even feel when it encompassed her entirely!
"If you come to my two turfs, break shit open, kill my boys, then steal my money, then you're getting a bullet inside your brain."
Benladra gritted her teeth as she noticed she could move her teeth and her mouth. The power of the woman only restricted her outer body.
"So... after I'm done with you I'm going to blow everyone's brains out to appease my fucking anger... My lad, I'm being merciful. I would have tortured you if you weren't just a kid. But business is business."
The woman smiled, despite being so beautiful, there was not an inch of compassion or mercy
in her eyes.
BAAANG!
As the bullet reached Benladra's head, the girl acted, immediately releasing her breath and blasting the bullet, completely melting it before her draconic flames.
"What?!"
BOOOM!
The woman was forced to step back as the flames reached her and blew her away from Benladra, her Psychic Hold quickly turning off as Benladra grabbed Emil and spread out her
wings, flying away.
"That woman's dangerous!" Benladra thought. "I was able to escape because I surprised her, it won't happen a second time! I have to regroup with mom and the rest-"
"Where are you going little dragon?"
However, out of nowhere, Benladra saw the woman right in front of her as she ran. It wasn't teleportation or something either!
"H-Huh?!"
As she turned to the other side of the corridor, she saw the woman standing there...
It was as if she had gone through a whole loop within the same building, returning to her!
"What the...? Eh?"
Her brain was trying to process what was happening, be it an illusion or something, she
couldn't tell!
"Once I Lock-On a target, they never escape from me."
The woman imbued Psychic Energy into the rifle, as she made the bullet inside spin at
lightning speed.
"{Crimson Ricochet}"
BOOOM!
And Benladra was engulfed by a crimson explosion of flames and psychic energy.
The girl desperately covered her body with her scales and reinforced them, the space was simply too narrow to transform, she would risk destroying the entire laboratory.
"Ugh...!"
She was thrown away, rolling over the floor, her wounds were severe, burning her arms and
legs and showing the red meat beneath her skin and scales.
However, her Pseudo Immortal Body kicked in, rapidly regenerating the wounds almost
instantly!
"You're a tough nut to crack..."
The red-haired cowboy woman walked towards Benladra calmly and composed.
"Well, I like having my fun."
