Chapter 111 - 111: Blood Manipulation: Blood Control (2/2)

The Duchess Charlotte, who stood at the top, raised the fans once more.

”I'm sorry. But I must bring you back otherwise his majesty will kill you… Even if you are his daughter.”

*Swoosh*

She swung it down.

Another burst of air came crashing down on Ruby.

The last layer of blood shattered as the drill crashed down her

A strong gust of wind, burst out, sending almost everything around it flying away.

The group which were fighting the zombies, were blown away.

They were fortunately caught by Violet's telekinesis before they could get gravely injured.

The tornado faded and a large crater could be seen on the ground.

In the middle of said Crater was Ruby on her knees. Blood could be seen flowing down her stomach from an injury she had sustained.

She was panting heavily, the glow from her battle axe had dimmed down.

The duchess, elegantly descended to the edge of the crater, she hid her mouth behind her fan before speaking once more.

”Princess you are strong, but you are still young. Your ability holds potential but you lack experience and training. Seize this at once, and I'll take you back to the king, to apologise with you.”

Seeing how, Ruby was on the losing end. The others had taken their attention off the zombies and instead turned it to her.

Just as they were about to head over to help her, they were stopped by Ruby who raised her hand gesturing them to stop.

”Don't worry… *Cough* About me… I'll be fine…! Focus on stopping those corpses and getting us a path out of here - *Cough*”.

Ruby's arms trembled as she pushed herself up with her axe.

Although she was telling them to trust in her, they were still hesitant. Would she really be fine? She was covered in injuries.

Even if most were healing, some were taking longer than others.

”I have warned you… Princess.”

The duchess, raised her hand again with the fan, on top.

Just as she was about to swing it down, her eyes widened as her body came to stop.

Her arms and body began to tremble before she let go of the fan. Ruby's eyes glowed a bright crimson red as she muttered.

”I was saving this for my father… But I have no choice but to use it now.

The duchess dropped to her knees.

[Blood Manipulation: Blood Control.]

Ruby was taking control of the blood inside of the Duchess's body, even without her blood particles having gone inside of her.

Her control over her ability had increased. Even the Duchess didn't know she could do this.

”Ruby… Don't… Don't do this… He'll kill you… All of you…”

Those were the Duchess's last words, before she collapsed onto the ground.

She was unconscious.

”I'm sorry, Charlotte.” Muttered Ruby

Ruby quickly turned to the others who had their hands full, fighting the zombies.

As she leapt towards them to help them out, something suddenly happened.

A loud siren resounded across the city. It was so loud that they all had to cover their ears.

It was beginning. The raid.
