The Grand Hotel
Amelia grits her teeth as she continues fighting off the fifteen Noble demons, wishing that she could get this over with sooner so that she can go find Scarlet. But right after her brother hung up the call, two more Noble demons joined the fight against her, and she cant help but curse Leons name in her head.
As she fights, she also notices the arachnae standing in the back commanding the Noble demons. A Count if she had to guess.
Unfortunately for her, she is not a physically focused Guardian. Instead, her magic is focused on magic itself. On her null magic.
The only reason she is still perfectly fine despite being dogpiled by seventeen Noble demons is because of the level gap in between them, her skills cooldowns and high mana prices coming back to bite her as she has to use the weaker ones to stay afloat while occasionally using a stronger one just to get rid of one of the Nobles.
Amelia scowls at the arachnae before finally deciding shes had enough. Without any hesitation, she uses her mythic skill Reverse Healing on each and every Noble demon around her, making hundreds of wounds appear all over them. All wounds they had received within the last three months as according to the three million mana Amelia spends on the skill dictates.
The arachnaes eyes widen in shock, the man somehow not having taken a single wound, before he lets out a harsh sounding screech. Then Amelia grimaces at the sight of ten more Noble demons rushing through the shattered windows of the buildings beside them. But some of them crush their way through the few remaining walls of the building, collapsing more of it in the process and leaving it as nothing more than a fifty one story building whose remaining forty-nine stories are all nothing but rubble to be found on the streets below, leaving the core exposed at the center of the fifty-first floor. The floor acting as the buildings new roof. And only because one of the Noble demons have been using their magic to stabilize the floor.
Fucking damnit!! When will these Noble demons end?!
At that thought, a swirl of blood and a swirl of water fly through the air in between two buildings nearby before stopping on the fifty-first floor of the building to reveal her brother and her husband.
Amelia visibly flinches when she sees Leonidas holding their daughter. When she sees the frown on his face. The look of sadness there. And the very slight disappointment in his eyes. Even if those eyes are currently the body of the Marchioness and not his actual body.
Meanwhile all of the struggling Noble demons on the floor seem to recognize the aura coming from the Demon Lord, along with his Demon Lords Rule skill and immediately give him a short salute despite them being in a fight.
But Amelia has no intention on fighting right now. Not when her daughter is here and could become collateral damage.
And the demons dont seem willing to either.
A few seconds pass in silence after the Nobles all call out their greeting to their Lord, during which White makes sure to send a sweep through the area for any Guardians who may have seen Scarlet with the demons, or the scene here happening at all. And after finding none, she double checks to make sure that all of the security cameras really are out and that there isnt one that someone made for some reason use mana in the area. But she finds none of those either, as to be expected.
She lets out a breath, unsure of how to feel as she watches her husband walk through the demons before stopping next to the core and directly meeting her eyes. Meanwhile her brother just continues staring at him like a fisher watching the fish on his hook. Likely waiting for the exact moment he sends Scarlet through the Fracture core and leaves the body hes using to attack.
Amelia grits her teeth even harder and clenches her fists for a few seconds before eventually releasing a sigh and relaxing her grip.
Ive lost. Its his turn now.
Leonidas looks surprised for a moment before a very faint smile emerges on the beautiful womans face hes currently using a fact that bothers Amelia more than she wishes to admit and he mouths, Travel through the Arctic to see her. And just seeing that alone makes her relax a little.
A smile even almost emerges on her face as she realizes that hes on his way to forgiving her if hes willing to have her visit.
Stay away from father though, he adds after a second.
Wasnt planning on going anywhere near that monster after he almost killed me the last three times I saw him. In fact, if it werent for Scarlet or you, he wouldve killed me.
Amelia and Leonidas look each other in the eyes for a few seconds, the Knight feeling ever so slightly odd in the fact that shes looking at him despite not looking at his real body, before Leonidas finally presses their daughters hand to the core as she lies unconscious in his arms.
See you later, Scarlet, Amelia whispers, despite knowing the girl is unconscious.
Then her daughter vanishes in a flash of red mist, having been sent to Tartarus through the core by her husband. Leonidas then turns to look at Amelia once more and says, It was good to see you after all, Amy.
Amelia waits a few seconds before saying, I missed you, Leon.
Then silence fills the roof as the dozens of Noble demons awkwardly watch the byplay between the two.
After several seconds, the silence is broken by her brother letting out an audible growl, the man clearly getting impatient for his fight to continue.
So Leonidas nods his head once before the crimson veins on the Marchionesss skin fade and the brightness of her eyes goes down along with it, leaving the woman back in control of her body with what looks to be some disorientation. And almost immediately, her brother transforms into a giant ten meter tall kraken, slapping at her and yanking her down with him as he falls off of the roof due to his size.
Meanwhile Amelia continues her battle against the Noble demons.
I hope you stay safe, Scarlet.
