Chapter 70: Capturing Calidora

Ochyra University,

The red hair guy that just met Rosie before is strolling around the university, he has a judging look etched on his face while looking around the university.

"Hmm, they still use the digital map? so lame", he mutters to himself.

After walking around for half an hour or so, he walks out of the university with a disappointed look.

He walks towards the car park when suddenly his eyes glint,

There is a woman wearing a lecturer's uniform waiting just beside his car, she has red hair that looks beautiful just like his.

Although her vibe is fiery, her expression is colder than ice.

It makes anyone thinks twice for approaching her, her temperament looks contrasting with her red hair, she can even be called the cold fire queen.

She is Hera, aka the Red Rose of Ochyra University.

The guy approaches her, "What's a girl like you standing beside my car at this hour?", he said. He leans his hand on the car, unbothered by the fire energy emitted by Hera.

The fire energy that tries to push the guy away did nothing, the fire energy even got engulfs by the guy's fire energy that is not the usual red but dark red.

"Kevin, it is inappropriate for a figure like you to come unnoticed. It can cause problems", she said coldly although deep down she's flushed.

Her fire energy seems to become docile around Kevin as if they're afraid of Kevin's fire.

Kevin laughs, he already extinguished the fire energy around Hera, "No need to worry, Ochyra University doesn't need to send a lecturer to check on me. I just want to see the students that are attending the sparing to determine their standard"

Hera wanted to say something before getting cut off by Kevin, "Say, Where is the guy called Rex?"

Hearing this, Hera frowns, "You will meet him during the sparring match, no need to stir some trouble"

"That's no fun", Kevin laughs as he opened his car's door.

He gets inside the car before rolling down the window, he puts on his shades before saying, "Oh yeah, I saw a girl called Rosie today. I hope you invite her to the sparring"

"Rosie? She is one of the students who will attend the sparring match", Hera replied in confusion.

Kevin smirked, "That's good then"

Before Hera can question Kevin, he already starts the engine and drove off.

'Why did he mention Rosie? How did he know her more importantly?', Rosie thought in confusion.

Hera then walks inside the Ochyra University hurriedly,

She went straight towards the control room where they can see all of the CCTVs that shows every place inside Ochyra University.

"Please search for a guy with red hair around one hour ago, let me see each of his movements", she said towards the security member.

The security member nodded his head before searching for Kevin,

After searching for about fifteen minutes, they finally found Kevin walking around Ochyra University while looking left and right.

Hera takes over and watches everything he does when suddenly,

She saw Kevin is looking to his left, in front of him was Rosie who is busy playing with her phone.

They bumped into each other,

Hera watch Rosie and Kevin's encounter from start to finish, she even saw Kevin look at Rosie's back for quite a while before finally resume his things.

'Don't tell me...Did Kevin falls in love with Rosie?! This is bad', Hera thought, a huge conflict will occur if Kevin really did falls in love with Rosie.

She then stands up before leaving the control room hurriedly.

Meanwhile,

Rex and Devan already quite far from the river before,

Rex still smells the lingering scent of Liliya, the both of them follow the scent that is starting to get stronger by the seconds.

After moving for a while,

BOOM!!

Kaboom!!

BAM!!

They heard the sound of fighting not far from their position, "That's definitely Liliya, we need to help her!", Rex shouted as the both of them dash towards the sound direction.

Liliya is battling against three Haltijas,

Although she is stronger than the three Haltijas, she still finds it quite difficult to beat them, especially with their perfect chemistry.

Liliya was hit by the brown Haltija, she is knocked away mid-air.

She gritted her teeth as she waves her hands drawing a symbol in front of her, a red sinister energy comes out of her body as it turns into a gigantic circle full of symbols.

The symbols are nothing like anyone has ever seen before, it glows red and it started spinning.

The Haltijas felt the surrounding temperature has risen, Liliya's attack makes Calidora's guts tingle. The attack is not her usual attack, it cannot be underestimated.

"Make a shield for the princess! Brace yourself", the red Haltija said, it chanted as the three Haltijas energy got merge into one.

The new energy becomes violent and it isn't losing in terms of power with Liliya, "Combination Spell! Protection of Nature!", the Haltijas shouted with determination.

The new energy shot out with brilliant light turning into a bubble around them, the bubble becomes a barrier that covered the four of them.

There is also another translucent barrier wrapping on the princess's body,

Looking at this, Liliya eyes become bloodshot.

She glances at the Haltijas fiercely before whispering, "Red Mark!"

SHIING!!!

The spinning symbols started glowing brighter, even more, the energy got concentrated before it descends slowly at the Haltijas.

The Haltijas felt their body went stiff, the pressure emitted by the symbols are horrifying.

Calidora closes her eyes in fright, 'The humans are blessed with power! I can't believe that there's someone this strong even during their teen lives', she thought in fright.

Although the Supernatural are born strong, they usually will become stronger as time passes by.

It is not a surprise for Vampires who live hundreds or even thousands of years to become a rank seven powerhouse, it is only natural because of how long they have lived. They can even be called ancient from the human perspective.

But on the other hand, with only forty years of age humans can reach astonishing heights.

It will be hard for high-rank Supernatural to recover their power if important Supernatural died, while humans can produce a new powerhouse in a matter of years.

Liliya's attack already arrived in front of the barrier made by the Haltijas, it is only a couple of inches away before colliding.

Time seems to slow down as Rex and Devan look at the battle in front of them.

Before they can even take another breath,

KABOOM!!!

The symbol that is spinning madly creates a huge explosion upon touching the barrier, the explosion is so powerful that it can be heard from miles away.

The ground trembles under the explosion's might, it manages to reach Zrolis City making the Supernatural there frowns.

The explosion burns everything around it, the humid trees or even the water around got evaporates instantly.

It also creates devastating shockwaves to the surrounding,

The explosion erases all lives in a kilometer radius, only a couple of mutated animals that are mid rank-four or above manage to survive the explosion.

Liliya's attack also can't recognize friend or foe, the explosion hits Rex and Devan who just got there on the side.

Rex and Devan are wearing the black uniform that they got from the SCO, it is a piece of battle equipment that can shield them from attacks but it didn't help much.

Rex's skin is burned, he can feel his skin boils because of the explosion.

The burnt skin is not a problem because he has a regeneration ability but the pain is so painful, burning his body until it's charred.

On the other hand,

Devan's mental power is already exhausted because of flying Rex and him before, his force field also got weaker. Upon contact with the explosion, his force field got destroyed immediately.

He manages to survive because of the ring he's wearing, it is imbued with protection rune.

Smokes covered the battlefield, Rex and Devan cough a couple of times before they open their eyes and see their surrounding.

After the smokes cleared out, they saw Liliya in a very, very bad state.

It seems the spell that she uses before doesn't only attacks them but also the user. It took quite a toll on her, she coughed a couple of mouthfuls of blood while holding her gut.

Her left arm is broken, her uniform is tattered and her breaths are heavy.

Liliya looks around the battlefield with her hazy eyes, she wanted to see the Haltijas state but her legs gave out first.

She fell to the ground weakly, the spell she uses before takes up all of her stamina.

Her heavy eyes scan the battlefield, the smoke starting to clears out exposing three Haltijas lying on the ground unmoving.

The green and brown Haltijas are burnt, a couple of their limbs also gone missing. They are in fact dead for sure, it is impossible to survive in that state.

She then looks at the center and saw Calidora there,

Calidora has a face of shock and fear, she went stiff as she looks at the Haltijas in front of her in horror, 'They...they lost!'

Her legs started to tremble, she is on the verge of breaking down.

"Prin...cess, please run", the red Haltija said with its dying breath, it looks at Calidora with a sorry expression.

Calidora snapped out of her daze, 'I'm sorry!', she apologizes in her head before she started running.

Looking at her running,

Rex glances towards Devan and Liliya, 'The both of them are exhausted, they can't move for a while. It's up to me now', he thought before he started pursuing Calidora.

Calidora is shaken, she is moving rather sluggishly.

Not long, Rex manages to catch up with Calidora.

His legs bulge with muscle as he jumped to the tree beside him, he then uses the tree to propel him forward landing right in front of Calidora.

"Princess, you're coming with me", Rex said with a fierce glint.

Calidora stopped in her tracks, she looks at Rex weirdly, "What are you?! Why do you smell like a Werewolf!", she asks, her lips are trembling.

'Hmm? Supernatural can smell my Werewolf scent?', Rex thought with a frown.

He ignores Calidora's question, "Come with me or I'm forced to suppress you!", he threatened.

"Never!!", Calidora shouted, denying Rex's threat instantly.

Hearing this, Rex dashes towards Calidora swiftly.

He appears in front of her and sent a punch imbued with Force Beam towards her, his movement are so fast that makes Calidora unable to react quickly.

Swoosh!!

Calidora was shocked, she then snapped out of her daze and summons a blood shield.

BAM!!

The punch made her stumbling away inside her blood shied, she's unable to handle Rex's strength.

Calidora's eyes glow Red, she sent a mental attack towards Rex that makes Rex dazed a little bit.

<mental attack="" detected!=""></mental>

<checking the="" user's="" mental="" stats...=""></checking>

<resisted the="" mental="" attack=""></resisted>

Rex snapped out of his daze but he saw Calidora slashes her own hands making it bleed, a drop of blood then levitate on top of her hands before it suddenly flew away.

'What's that? a help signal?', Rex thought.

He uses the Pure Brace of Moonlight skill, it enhances his physical abilities making him faster than before.

<the user's="" stats="" has="" been="" increased="" by="" 25%=""></the>

Rex's eyes glow, he glances at Calidora who widened her eyes feeling Rex's aura become more powerful.

He vanished from his spot,

Calidora panicked, she looked around the place trying to find Rex but she can't find Rex anywhere.

Rex suddenly reappeared behind Calidora,

She sensed Rex's aura from her back but it is too late for her,

BAM!!

Rex karate chopped Calidora on her neck, the chop was clean and hard.

Calidora felt the world spinning, her eyes become hazy and heavy before her body becomes weak.

The last scene she saw is Rex catching her before she fell to the ground, her eyes then closed as the world turns black.
