—> The Red Rose Tyrant.

...

"AIM FOR THE GLASS HEAD!" Newbie yelled, leading them into battle like in a war.

You knew this, it was the most vulnerable point. What you didn't know, is how Newbie could possibly know this. As well as Heart and Spade.

(Have they experienced an overblot before as well?)

You move on quickly, making sure you push anybody out of harms way.

Due to your.. prior knowledge, you can predict where Rose would hit next.

The garden was in shambles, rose trees torn and outdoor furniture tossed and broken. Diamond using his own Unique Magic to fire magic all at once. It was quite impressive, actually.

"DIRTY, INSIGNIFICANT, IDIOTIC VERMIN!" Rose yelled, his arms raising and aiming magic randomly in directions. You've noticed he's starting to get desperate. "I'LL PUT YOU ALL TO YOUR PLACE!"

"KALIM! GET AWAY!"

You look up at Spade's words, finding Asim frozen in shock. Viper and Asim had been separated from each other, a gigantic crack in the ground splitting the group in half. Viper looks horrified, trying to get over to Asim's side. You take the open chance to tackle Asim to the ground, begging to the Seven's internally that he wasn't hurt.

"Asim, are you okay?" You ask, inspecting the other for injuries. Asim just nods, smiling.

"Thanks for saving me!!" Asim exclaimed, as you sigh. "JAMIL! I'M OKAAY!"

"Pay attention more.."

The blot on Rose starts to build up more and more, but you've noticed that nobody's gotten seriously injured yet. It's only a few bruises, and it's inevitable during an overblot.

You look up at the glass head, aiming your magic pen at the gigantic blot monster behind Rose. Sparks of magic start flying out as you insert majority of your energy into the blast.

Rose realizes he's about to get taken out, his eyes widening. Then you notice- something not out of his own accord- the blot creature reaches out and grabs Newbie.

Huh..?

"YUU!"

Collective shouts of terror try to reach Newbie, as they get swallowed by the blot.

"What the fuck?!"

You weren't quite sure who it came from, but you had to agree.

(Were they both dead?)

Feelings build up within you. It was hard to place your finger on what type of feeling it was. It didn't matter anymore. The glass shatters as it hits the creature. Rose lets out a pained cry.

"NO! NO NO No no no.. How is this possible?!" Rose's distorted voice slowly returns to normal, as the blot slowly vanishes and he collapses. "Was.. I wrong..? It can't be.. it's impossible.. Isn't it.. mother..?" Rose plants into the ground.

Immediately, you rush over and check Rose's pulse. He might as well be dead- What?

"YUU!" Heart and Spade rush over to the fallen form.

"Check their pulse!" You exclaim, your eyebrows furrowing. It didn't made sense. How did Rose live..? It was exactly the same, you've defeated overblots before. And yet.. What made him different?
