TOFD 388

Lucky 388

The situation further worsened and the two heard the scream of people dying. 

Suddenly, another eruption arose and it came from a fat-belly man who was wearing a bear mask. 

The bear-masked fat guy summoned a volcano from the ground and it started spewing lava and molten rocks, eradicating people on the spot. 

Based on the pressure that the fat guy released, it was obvious that his cultivation was at DemiGod Rank. 

"That person... He's from the Empire."

Shoujo's eyes trembled. She had enough information about the other countries because she was a spy. She didn't expect to see a DemiGod from the Empire of Xummolu. 

Not only that, other spells started materializing on the side of the mansion. It seemed that the other countries made an alliance to end the Triad. 

"Lucky! We have to leave!"

Shoujo grabbed Calix and tried to pull him away from the danger. However, the man was standing still and Shoujo failed to move him at all. 

"Lucky!"

"Shoujo. With your Term Attribute, it's impossible to take me away."

"I know, but we still have to leave. Our job is done and we don't have to endanger ourselves."

Shoujo could only pass through objects. Her powers doesn't work on others unless she became a 2nd Advanced gained an ability to help Calix become intangible. 

"You can leave first, I have something to do."

"You..." She looked at Calix and realized that he was serious. 

"Fine, alright. You can die if you want. I actually don't care."

She sighed. To be honest, her feelings towards this companion were not deep. She hated him in fact. 

"Goodbye then."

"Hm. You don't have to worry about me."

"As if I worry about you."

Shoujo's feet began sinking into the ground to escape the battle. She didn't think twice and left Calix. 

Using her Term Attribute, Shoujo avoided the hotspots and easily reached the exit of the mansion. She understood that her ability was nothing compared to the criminals and DemiGods. 

Thankfully, her ability was suitable for being a spy and she could escape dangerous situations because of it. 

"That bastard. He doesn't care about his life at all! Hah! Let's see, if he died then I will take care of Lou. She has nicer feet, yeah."

She smirked and ran away from the mansion. Unfortunately, she learned that it was impossible to escape the place. 

"Huh?"

Shoujo was dumbfounded when she realized that there was a transparent barrier that blocked her. She put her hands on the barrier, it was strong and impossible to break. 

Then, she used her Term Attribute and tried to pass through the barrier. Her expression started changing when she found that her body could not pass through.

She tried different means, even deeper into the ground but there was no exit. 

"Shit!" She gritted her teeth upon realizing that there was no way out.

'There is only one person who can create an absolute barrier. The DemiGod from Ancas, Bruce Smallbum.'

"Damn it."

Left with no choice, Shoujo decided to sink into the ground to find Calix.

'I heard from Esmeralda that Calix has a way to protect me. I don't know what it is but I will trust my superior.'

She didn't trust Calix, but Esmeralda was different. 

While she was under the ground, Shoujo felt the tremors of the battle and it was getting deadlier. 

She was already sweating as she came out of the ground. Maintaining her intangible state while under the ground and not breathing costs her a lot of energy. 

Thankfully, she still remembered where she left Calix. 

When she came out of the ground, she was greeted by something she didn't expect.

"Wha-!?"

An alien-like creature pounced on her with a fierce hunger. 

Shoujo quickly dodged the attack and used the momentum to kick the creature away. 

"What is happening!?"

She was shocked to see that the whole surrounding changed.

Her vision could see nothing but endless office rooms with bleak yellow lights. The place was so eerie and disturbing. 

Furthermore, the alien creature in front of her was not hurt at all. 

"I don't know anymore."

She shook her head in defeat and prepared for battle. 

To make the matter worst, she could not see Calix. It seemed that the man went to another place. 

Shoujo pulled out an inch-size Battlesuit from her pocket. The small item started returning to its original size and enveloped Shoujo. 

Battlesuit was the best way to increase her strength and defense.

"I swear I'm getting unlucky these days. Did I do something horrible that life started cursing me?" She asked herself and prepared for battle. 

With the help of Battlesuit which amplified her strength, Shoujo dashed forward and kicked the alien with a swift sound. 

The alien was cut into two and dropped to the ground. The alien had gooey black blood and it was disgusting. 

"Ew..."

She frowned and averted her gaze. She didn't like disgusting stuff. 

"Let's find Calix." She understood that her way out of this danger was Calix, at least based on what Esmeralda said. 

"Guargh-!"

Unfortunately, another creature showed up. This time, the creature was tall but it didn't have any face, it was wearing a suit and tie. It had a blank white face, a creepy Slenderman. 

"Again, what is this place? I'm not even sure if I'm in the mansion at all!" 

The whole situation was confusing and fear-inducing. She knew that this mission was dangerous but she didn't expect that it would be creepy as hell. 

'I heard there's a person who can summon a domain but that's nothing but a rumor. Nobody knows if this person is real. But if this person is indeed real, maybe his ability will be like this.'

White tendrils sprouted from the Slenderman's back and rushed to her. 

"Nope, I'm not stupid enough to fight you. You don't even look like an Aberrant. Goodbye asshole."

Shoujo didn't have a choice but to escape. Her forte was using her ability to escape dangerous situations, not fighting alien creatures.
