Chapter 266: Intimidation vs Intimidation (1/2)

”Hey, don't play with fire in a place congested with people,” said the nonchalant man. Not even bothered that he was shot with vermillion flame.

”Regardless, I never thought this place to be so different from how it used to…” then the man said to the person beside him, and they turned around again to continue walking like nothing happened, paying no mind to the dumbfounded crowd.

”Eh?”

”What happened?”

”What the f##k happened?!”

Vermi and her friends uttered idiotically. Those people were ignoring her? How could she let them be? She was puzzled about the disappearance of her attack but. Who cares?! She had more power in store!

Vermi's friends noticed that she was trembling in anger while gnashing her teeth.

The surrounding people were in a furor once again when they saw another vermillion flame was shaping on each of her hands.

”This is bad, Vermi was on the loose now…” muttered one of the guys together with Vermi.

”Don't overdo it, Vermi!” The other one called out. But it was too late.

With veins in her eyes, she leaped in a rush and, ”Who said you can leave just like that after what you did?!” She roared angrily and fired two Vermillion Haze attacks. Although she called it Vermillion Haze, it was actually a flame attack.

Sensing the danger from behind him, the man in a cloth stopped on his feet and extended his hand behind him, pointing at the vermillion flames that were fast approaching towards them.

But once again, when the flames contacted him, there was no explosion nor burning. The flames had disintegrated in an instance, turning them into light particles, and disappeared shortly.

”What—?!”

Then again, nothing happened. Her attacks were another failure. She followed another attack. But the result was still the same.

Everyone agreed that this person was truly capable of canceling the vermillion flame.

”Just who is he?”

”How did he do that?”

”I noticed a magical crimson shield in a brief moment whenever he canceled the vermillion flame attack.”

The people around were muttering in wonder.

Then, they saw the person veiled in a cloth, he looked at Vermi. ”Stop that. Or you will suffer,” he said nonchalantly. He wasn't threatening her, he was giving her a warning. ”Bullshit!” But Vermi seemed to have no plan to back down.

One of Vermi's friends stepped forward. ”Hey dude, you just wanted to walk away after what you've done?” Said one of Vermi's friends. ”I'm done saying my sorry. What else do you want?” Replied the man. ”Wait! Let me…” suddenly, they heard the girl together with him.

Everyone was looking at her in wonder as she was calmly walking towards Vermi.

Her carefree behavior made Vermi to put down her guard. Then they all gawked when she handed a gold coin to Vermi. ”Eh?” Vermi widened her eyes but soon darkened.

”Wh, what do you think of meee! A beggaaar?!!!” She roared and threw the gold coin. She wanted to burn her but. The girl already retreated to the man's side.

Under the cover of the hood, the girl tilted her head innocently. ”It's not enough?” Asked the girl in wonder. ”I don't think it's about that,” the man replied to her.

However, their nonchalant behavior only fueled the anger in Vermi.

More magical energy was coming out from Vermi's body, ”Wait, Vermi,'' one of Vermi's friends called out to her.

But Vermi's unstoppable now. ”Shut up, Greg!” She bit her lips and summoned a sword from out of thin airs. It was from her Cyber Storage. They were taught that whenever they visited other cities or territories, they must be in resonance with their deities the whole time because no one could guess when the danger would arrive. Especially in a crowded place.

It was also the reason why no flying deities could be seen beside them, but on their neck, a half collar object could be seen.

”Wait, look, there are gatherings of people over there.” One of the securities that were patrolling nearby had noticed the commotion. ”Let's check it out!” Said his buddy.

”?!”

When they arrived, they saw a girl wielding a flaming huge sword. She was charging hastily towards the two people in shady outfits.

The two security gasped wide-eyed and forgot their reason for coming. Though, even if they wanted to stop them, they were already too late. The girl was already blinded by her anger for having herself embarrassed.

”Stop!” Yet, one of the securities managed to call out. But it was futile at this point. His voice blended into the noise coming from his surroundings.

The girl brandished her weapon with bloodshot eyes but. Before her weapon hit the person in shady attire, ”click!” they saw the shady person snap his fingers. Then the next second, something grew from the girl's back.

”What is that?”

”W-wings?”

”Black wings!”

Exactly!

They saw a pair of black wings. They never thought that this girl was so dope to summon such a pair of wings.

Weirdly though, they noticed the bewildered expression on the girl's face after the wings have materialized. Not only that, but she tried to struggle also.

The people around were confused by it. Her friends had widened their eyes as they gawked while staring at Vermi with puzzled faces. They wondered where the wings came from.
