Fantasy Pristine: Our Bond

Chapter 111 {Season 2: She Came Again}

Ethan dashed about trying to dodge the dozens of blades that Black Aura had placed on him. Damn it today. He was easily fooled by the words of Midnight who originally intended to help him but now, instead sided with Black Aura without telling a clear reason.

Ethan gulps his hard-earned saliva. He was at a loss as to how he would cope with the increasingly brutal attacks of Black Aura. Especially considering the ability of the Aura that is very related to pain. Imagining himself slashed alone has made the feathers bristled. Especially slashed directly, automatically his life floated.

Uh! Why is my life always this way? Two months ago I was possessed by Legend Aura, then faced with stressed humans, and now Ethan paused when he looked back to see if Black Aura was still chasing him. And apparently, the Aura was still chasing him but this time with different weapons and abilities. The violet bead in his left eye turned red. Drops a thick liquid that Ethan claims to be blood.

“She does try again?!” peek Ethan's. Without thinking long speed up his steps even though his breath is said to be unable to continue the action running again.

Black Aura glanced at Ethan with a red bead in her left eye while her right eye was closed. “Because of you..” once it has been determined which part he will attack, Black Aura immediately threw the boomerang that Midnight gave him.

The boomerang darted beside Ethan's neck. Luckily it did not scratch his skin however, turning around and slashing his right shoulder. Automatically, the attack creates a short hemisphere with long-term pain that travels throughout the man's body.

Suddenly, Ethan stumbles with his splattered blood soaking his coat and the ground where he lies. The pain felt like tenfold.

Ethan grimaced with pain.  She's why the hell?

Unsatisfied with the slash, Black Aura teleported and stood beside Ethan. Faintly, Ethan caught a bunch of strange letters that formed a sentence and coiled around in Black Aura's right hand. It felt a bit familiar with that hand. Ethan felt as if he had been shown a Black Aura hand filled with strange spells. He did not remember the details of its usefulness. But clearly, Ethan is panicking. His face was as pale as if he had lost a lot of blood. Hm but it's true. Ethan lost a quarter of his blood from the Black Aura slash just now.

“What do you mean, Aura? What do you want me to do?!” Ethan's screams are scared. His pain turned transparent as the man's fear had completely dominated his mind.

“Do not move,” Ogre Black Aura.

Ethan was stunned to realize Black Aura's suddenly weakened tone. “Wait a minute…! You mean, you're not after me?”

Black Aura nodded flatly. Slowly, he brought his five fingers closer to the top of Ethan's head. At first, everything looks fine. Until Midnight and the three teenagers caught up and watched Black Aura who was about to do something to Ethan.

Away from the current position of Black Aura, Chloe who had just arrived was immediately astonished by the sound of the impact and also the chaos that had shocked her heart a few minutes ago. It was Black Aura. But…

“Morgan?” Chloe glanced at Midnight as if asking for an explanation from the bespectacled woman regarding Morgan's whereabouts. (Note: since Chloe doesn't know that Morgan has a real name yet: Ethan, Chloe still calls her ‘Morgan’).

“What?”

“Why Morgan can be here?” ask Chloe curious.

Midnight smiles. It just so happened that the blonde girl asked him a similar question to the one he wanted to ask her. “Oh, Morgan. Well, now I'm asking. Why are you here and who LETS YOU COME HERE?” Midnight immediately flocked Chloe and her two best friends with two questions accompanied by emphasis in several sentences to the end. Behind his glasses, Midnight stared intently at the three friends who were putting on stiff faces after realizing their mistake.

Damn you, Aura! jacqueline's curse in the heart. While Chloe and Aoi had forgotten the Black Aura's words about her that would be their protector from Midnight's rampage. And you can see how it is now. The aura dealt with Morgan and forgot her sweet words.

Faster than Midnight, the blonde-haired girl shouted. “Black Aura! EVADE IT! HE'S NOT MORGAN!” her screeches deafened Aoi and Jacqueline.

“Jeez, noisy know!” jacqueline complained but was ignored by Chloe who had run first. Before running, the girl unceremoniously seized the Midnight boomerang.

Midnight huddles in response to Chloe's behavior. However, on the other hand he could not ban the girl. Midnight smiles. He's not alone apparently. The world seemed narrow to him just by looking at Chloe who was running trying to save Black Aura from the threat of danger that would soon slaughter that Aura.

“Hey, Chloe why?”

As Aoi was about to catch up with Chloe, Midnight held her back and said, “Let me take care of.”

“Eh? B-well.” Aoi gave up and decided to wait with her lover, Jacqueline. Although in her deepest heart she did not want to see Chloe involved in the dangerous scene that had already become part of Black Aura's life. Unfortunately, due to Aoi's respect for the older man, the man is forced to undo his intention of bringing back Chloe.

Jacqueline patted Aoi's shoulder. Gave the Japanese man a reassuring look. “Chloe will be fine. We already know how the real nature of the girl,” he said.

“Hahh... Alright..”.

Black Aura was stunned after her ears responded to Chloe's very distinctive splashy voice. Then, Black Aura turned to look at the blood pooling beneath Ethan's body.

“U-purple?!” Black Aura swerved instead of playing. Not a step back, his right leg was already held by Ethan. A grin was etched on his handsome face. An evil grin that was very distinctive in the eyes of Black Aura. So did Midnight and Chloe who had been witnesses of that smile.

“Di-dia.. Don't say..” Chloe stuttered. His steps slowed down in tandem with his energy drifting off somewhere. Those memories of two months ago swirled in his mind. Faintly displaying pieces of images of ships, sea elephants, messy and damp ship passageways, as well as the smile of someone. Chloe froze.

No way! How could he…?  Midnight panic. But not with his steps. This kind of atmosphere, shock, blood, had already become commonplace to Midnight. The rest is up to Midnight how he overcame that problem. Not by negotiation but by violence. Because the enemy type who likes to use weapons and fantasy abilities beyond human reason. Without Midnight realizing it, he has fighting skills that can be juxtaposed with several superheroes in comic books such as.

“Hai! You remember me, right?”
