TOFD 453

Lucky 453

Calix and the three women advance through the zombies. With every step they took, zombies would fall to the ground. 

The combination of the four was terrifying. Even Nikki Stringendo who could not use her Term Attribute was faring well. 

The path they took became a path of death for the zombies. Physical force, endless flame, and bone-breaking freeze confront the zombies. 

Despite hearing the Dellia was nuked, Calix and the others were not affected. Perhaps they trusted the Demi-Gods of their country.

'Although I feel like something is strange... I felt like there was something that I have to know. Something that I should remember.'

His instinct was telling him that he didn't notice an important clue...

Anyway, he didn't have the time to think about it. Calix started turning the enemies into meat paste. 

"I see some odd people out there."

Scarlett narrowed her gaze. She saw some people who were wearing battlesuits. However, they were not affiliated with the Junian military. 

"They are from the Council of Torment... You can kill them if you want."

"I feel like they are preparing to go somewhere," Scarlett added. 

However, their mission was to find this 'Oni Chichi', so they didn't bother to interfere with the Council of Torment. 

"Oni Chichi... where are you?"

Calix started to get nervous. He already reached the place where he met Oni Chichi for the last time. 

The wall was quiet and calm. He found nothing. 

Calix's expression was ugly... He felt like his heart was getting crushed. 

"Lucky..."

The three women realized the bad news. This might be Calix's first misfortune after a long time.

"Damn it!"

He roared in anger. He wiped his tears and sprinted into the horde of zombies. 

"Guys, I have to apologize but I have to find Oni Chichi... Even if she became a monster!"

"We will help you!"

The three didn't stop him. They assisted him in finding the woman. 

Unfortunately, their search was futile. They could not find the woman. 

Calix felt heavy. As if the world was weighing him down. He started walking ahead and found someone he recognized. 

"... Quandale?"

Calix stopped his track. He saw a man holding his arm in pain 

"Lucky, is that you?"

Quandale Dingle was pale as he looked at him. He didn't recognize Calix because he was wearing a battlesuit. 

"What happened? What about our friends?"

He asked. Worried and heartbroken.

"I don't know... We just started running until I was the only one left. Lucky, I have a favor. Please, tell my parents that I love them."

Quandale started crying. He knew that he was going to be a zombie at any second.

"If you met my parents... Tell them that I love them so much. I'm sorry because I can't keep my promise."

"... Fuck!"

Calix angrily roared. 

"You were bit in the arm? Only in the arm?"

"Yeah." Quandale nodded. 

"Then you have to tell it to your parents, not me! You are going to live! I'm going to make sure that you will live!"

Calix started crying. He didn't know if he was sad for Quandale. Perhaps he was sad that Oni Chichi was already dead. 

His gun transformed into a chainsaw. Mento could not transform into a sword or any blade. 

"Do it then."

Quandale didn't have a choice but accept his fate. If this was the only way to live, he was ready for it. 

"You have to make sure that you will live!"

Calix cut Quandale's arm.

"Aaarrrggggghhh--!!"

Quandale screamed in madness. The bitten arm was disconnected from his shoulder and it was painful as hell. 

"Scarlett, do you think you can stop his bleeding?" 

"As long as I'm very close to him, I can control the flow of his blood... However, he has to be afraid of me." Scarlett replied. 

"Afraid? Hehe, Miss... You don't have to worry, I'm already afraid of you."

Scarlett cast her spell and it worked. Quandale's complexion became better. 

"Thank you, Scarlett."

"As long as I can make you happy."

"If... If Quandale became--"

"I know. Now, I believe you are still looking for someone. Go on. I will protect this man."

"I love you."

"I love you too, Calix."

Scarlett Robinson smiled and let the others leave. 

"Now... I have to burn this place to ashes, huh? This job might be easier if these monsters are afraid of me. But they don't have emotions. I swear, this situation always happens. When can I use my power freely?"

Scarlett cast huge fireballs and disintegrated the zombies. 

.........

......

...

"If we can't find her at the border, then we will have to go to the Forest of Death."

Calix said the most insane thing. Yet Marianne and Nikki accepted his plan. 

"It's not a problem. We will follow you to the depths of hell."

The three decided to jump off the wall and landed on the other side of the border... The atmosphere on this side was terrifying. 

However, they didn't have the time to think about it. 

"Calix, look!"

Marianne pointed a hundred meters away from them. 

Calix and the others saw that the followers of the Council of Torment were on the other side of the border too. On top of that, the followers were carrying women into the forest. 

Even though the chances were slim, Calix believed that the followers abducted Oni Chichi. He really hoped so. 

"Let's stop them!"

The three started following the followers deep into the forest. The Aberrants sensed the changes and became active. 

This might be the most dangerous place that Calix went into. Much more dangerous than Backrooms. 

Yet that didn't stop him. As long as there was a chance that Oni Chichi was alive, he would never stop.
