Chapter 233

Lucky 233

Calix's hair grew longer, his greenish-brown eyes turned a golden shade. With his gaze alone, could create fear in anyone whom he stared at. 

"Aahhhhhhh!"

Calix roared. 

The lesson he learned from his father echoed. 

By continuous use of his Term Attribute, it would naturally evolve but it would take years. 

The other way was by further deciphering his Term Attribute. 

When Calix was trying to find a way to save Scarlett, the concept of fate entered his mind. Calix thought that perhaps Scarlett's destiny was to die here which was unacceptable. He would rather curse fate than let Scarlett die. 

So he realized that fate and his ability, Luck, were connected. That his Luck would determine the fortunate event of the girls whom he had sex with. 

Scarlett, Yuna, and Marianne became 2nd Advanced despite being young. 

Kimberly gained a unique ability and became the best inventor. 

Lou entered Horvort University just because she had sex with Calix for a week. 

Even Nikki awakened a Term Attribute. This possibility was so low that only a few people could accomplish it. 

Calix realized that his ability could change the destiny of a person and turn it into better or the best. 

With this enlightenment, Calix recognized his true power and transcended into a being that was almost impossible to acquire. Calix became a Hero!!

"I will protect you!"

Despite being covered in blood, where his skin was none to be seen, and horribly injured, Calix didn't let go of Scarlett. He hugged her tightly never letting her go. 

Then, his weapon, Mento the chainsaw glowed. The chainsaw was glowing with an azure hue, the azure light covered the whole chainsaw.

It became an aura. The azure aura seethed into the blood tree. 

Calix slowly pushed the weapon, cutting the tree. 

Scarlett screamed in pain and her struggle didn't weaken. 

But Calix was tough. With all of his strength, together with the azure aura that was covering the chainsaw, he successfully chopped the tree off her back!

The blood tree separated from her back. Scarlett lost her strength and kneeled. 

Calix, who was weak too, stumbled. Someone grabbed him before he fell and he saw Marianne holding him.

His golden eyes returned to normal, and even the chainsaw that was covered with azure aura returned to its original form of a pistol. 

Calix stared at Scarlett who was weakly moving. Her body was injured just like his, perhaps more dangerous than what he received. Scarlett lost a great amount of blood. Her complexion was so pale as if she was dead.

However, something unnatural happened. The blood tree lost its vibrant and melted, it returned to being blood. This blood began moving back to Scarlett. 

The blood seeped back to all of the wounds, then the wounds closed by their own will. As if nothing happened, Scarlett's complexion returned to being healthy white. Except for her torn clothes, Scarlett looked normal. 

"Ugh..."

Scarlett opened her eyes, she weakly raised her body. The first thing she noticed was Calix's horrible injuries. In fact, it was impossible to recognize him because his skin was burned so badly that his flesh could be seen. 

"Calix... Hick, hick..."

Seeing his appearance, Scarlett started crying. She sobbed, she was guilty. Of course, she knew him. 

Scarlett was wide awake the whole time. She understood that the reason why Calix was injured was because of saving her. She remembered everything. 

Her body was moving out of her own accord as if she was controlled by something. It was painful, her body transformed and her blood was absorbed, it was hell.  No, it was worse than hell. 

"I- I'm sorry..."

Tears almost covered her face, she couldn't control her sobbing. She hurt him and almost killed him. She did all of this to him. Her hands were trembling as she stretched them to reach him. 

She tried to get closer but her body was weak, even moving a finger hurt so much. But it didn't stop her.

"Calix..."

She said, trying to reach him. She didn't care about Marianne's piercing gaze. All she wanted was to be near him. 

Thankfully, Calix responded. 

"Scarlett..."

"Y- yes. I'm here. Everything's going to be fine."

Marianne was glaring at the woman, she was angry. But she persevered and helped Calix to reach Scarlett. 

At the same time, Devon approached Scarlett and helped her. 

They helped the two to get closer. As for Marianne, she was hoping that some miracle would happen. She even turned on her slightly broken phone, hoping that there was a signal to call a healer. Her hands were shaking, every time she looked at Calix, her expression grimaced and troubled. 

It was obvious that Calix was terribly injured, her heart was torn apart just by seeing him like this. 

"This is all my fault. This is all my fault! I'm sorry! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

Scarlett kept repeating it like a broken record. She didn't know what to do. 

Scarlett grabbed Calix's hand, her tears were still flowing. She squeezed his hand and kissed it. Her cry was so loud, like an innocent child who did a disastrous sin. 

"It's fine, this is not your fault."

Calix assured her, but his voice was getting weaker. It seemed that even his Luck was not enough to turn this around. 

"No. There is a way."

Marianne looked at her phone. She had an idea. 

Out of all the people here, she was the most calm and she knew Calix's ability, unlike Devon. 

"Devon, I'm sorry but can you leave."

"What? I don't understand. I think it's best if we take Calix to the nearest hospital."

Devon was perplexed as he explained the reasonable way to help Calix. 

However, Marianne shook her head, disagreeing with him. 

"We don't have time to do that. You have to trust me."

Marianne was serious that even Devon could not respond. He could not let Calix suffer like this but Marianne's serious gaze pressed him. 

Devon sighed. He could see that Marianne was hiding something, and she didn't want Devon to see it. 

"I don't know what is happening... but you have to make sure that Calix will be safe."

He said it with a heavy voice, he didn't want Calix to die here. It would strike his conscience. 

"I will save him."

Marianne said. It was unknown if she was confident or just hallucinating, but Devon could see that Marianne was serious. 

"Okay, fine. I will leave."

"Thank you, please run as fast as you can and never look back. Please go to our house instead and check the others. I will greatly reward you after this."

"I don't need money, just make sure that Calix will be fine."

Devon didn't know what Marianne would do but he decided to trust her. He didn't have a choice but to do so. 

Devon turned around and started running away. There were monsters in the way but he blew them apart. 

"Get out of my way you filthy creatures!!"
