Between The Worlds

Shi felt strange for several days already. It was all because of the young man who had somehow entered her heart in quite stupid way! Not only he doesn't look at her like a woman, but also is coward to the core!

And when she heard the screams from carriage, Shi got so worried that she let her guard down! As her body got wounded by several sword slashes, Shi retreated several steps back and shouted for her partner to help Raphel!

Which stupefied her opponents!

But parrot himself was already wounded. He was flying above releasing fire balls at huge pace meaning his magic was also already close to dry up...

"Stupid girl. Why don't you look at yourself?"

"Have you sent the signal for leader?"

"I have."

Shi nodded and focused more magic on her fire balls. It began changing in fire birds that were faster and stronger. Both she and Biruan took five man down as the bear man himself summoned more bears...

'Five more...'

But, the magic and stamina was already close to dry up just like her parrot...

-

Raphel saw that and also believed his comrades are exhausted! Looking at the young bear who was hugging him while healing, Raphel felt an urge to get stronger himself! Then, one of the stones from mecha tiger rolled to him...

[Do you want to purify your bloodline?]

This time, it was as if Raphel could hear someone's voice while reading this message...

'Is my bloodline stained? Not pure and weak?'

Grabbing the stone...

"I want."

As Raphel spoke these two words, the stone began shining and his blood boiled. Soon enough, Raphel felt like the shining stone is most delicious thing and quickly put it into his mouth munching it loudly...

"Hot..."

It became so hot as Raphel felt his whole blood boiling. The energy core of his also got hot, but this time, it was pleasant... As if it was happy that he, coward, got d.e.s.i.r.e to become stronger by himself... Soon, Raphel got several 'system' messages...

And he knew one thing...

Those words weren't from system, but from energy core that controlled it.

-

Shi! The beauty was now stained beauty as she got forced to fight in close range which was clearly disadvantage for her. Not being able to dodge sword slashes from such close distance, her whole body was covered in huge amount of blood.

Soon, her vision blurred as blood flowed down into her eyes! Not being able to see her opponent was quite bad... She stumbled and fell, only to feel a sword going straight at her! But...

"Arghhhh!"

The man grabbed his face with two hands as he felt immense pain! Like Shi, he fell on the ground, trashing around like mad man. The one who had done it to him was Raphel!

Even though he got power, he didn't dare to come out. It's hard to change oneself in one day... Nevertheless, he knew, he knew that he can help his comrades...

Holding bottle with his venom, Raphel looked at his hand... no, at claw! His whole hand was green with scales not looking like snake... Raphel didn't know about his bloodline, but because of this 'purify' thing, he knew that snakeman is only the beginning... the weakest stage...

With such claw, his strength and speed was tremendous. Also, Raphel could feel change within himself as if his instincts got fiercer... The nails that were long and dark violet were also filled with venom...

Thus, Raphel knew that if his throwing from afar will no longer work, he still can move on!

'Fighting is easy, just follow instincts huh...'

Energy core of Raphel was in control of everything! One of his eyes was shining with golden color looking like demons... It was eye that allowed him to use his instincts, to see the flow of the battle in easy way...

Feeling as if his race is some kind of cheat, Raphel took the bottle of deadly liquid.

And threw it at the man who was fighting Biruan. His comrade had summoned a lot of bears yet Raphel didn't get scared. All because of this claw and eye that gave him confidence... The instincs of his clearly influenced Raphel...

The attackers who felt new danger, retreated and formed a circle protecting each other backs with their eyes non stop looking around! Thanks to that, Raphel comrades got moment to calm down and heal...

However! Raphel who looked at his bag shook his head... He had no more bottles!

"You are making me to go and fight..."

And he knew that his energy core could shot this venom yet it didn't want to pass him this technique! Thus, Raphel moved forward exposing himself and his new hand...

"Who the f.u.c.k are you?"
