I don't know how much time had passed since we fought to one another. All I know is that we're both wounded.

Jason's shirt was ripped beyond recognition and full of blood. But his wounds were regenerating slowly compared to mine. And my blouse looked like a hanging blouse only covering my chest, showing my stomach and arms.

That's why I hate wearing long clothes when fighting to the death. They got ripped easily.

But since I prefer wearing them always, and it's my clothes back at Lukedonia, can't blame that.

"Your state is not a proof to say you obtained immortality, Jason. Look at you, your wounds don't heal fast like we do. You still sleep to regain strength."

His wounds were getting worse. Even if it heals, I kept on attacking, adding wounds to his body. He's already in his limit, his breathing is ragged and his attacks are getting sloppy.

He's getting frustrated. I can sense it. His impatience was worse than ever.

Then his body changed.

A bloodstone was glowing at the middle of his chest. And he gained muscles. And his irises turned red, the colour or dried blood from the black one that was changed when he tried the spell.

His power grew exponentially because of the stone. But I know the backlash of that. Either you die or left nothing at all, making you more weak.

What surprised me more was the power on the other battlefield. It was Dad's and Frankie's.

Frankie used more of the Dark Spear because Dad used his power to defend and destroy something. Whatever it is, I'll ask them after this.

"See, Cass? I've become stronger because if this implant."

"..."

Being naïve to unknown things can lead to early death.

"Cass, what's that?" Charles asked in my head.

"Bloodstone. As far as I remember, Dad already destroyed them back at Lukedonia. That stone killed the nobles back before because if my Uncle, causing to power decline of Dad's." I murmured.

It was one of the terrifying event in Lukedonia. That decreased our population and caused rift towards the Lord and to ours.

"How come it's in his possession?"

"Union, obviously. Frankie didn't told me about this object will be here. That idiot."

I heard a laugh. A laugh of a crazy person coming from Jason.

"Now, I'm stronger! And no one can defeat me."

"Why do I sense that his insanity level went worse?" Daniel said.

"Really? If you've seen Frankie, I think no." I said, letting a feeling I often use in fighting.

"Oh, darn. She's in her sadist mode." Charles and Daniel chorused.

I ignored their comment and dashed forward. I just want to go back and do my things. As normal it is for me. Being able to help in a way it isnt suspicious enough to my identity.

When I hit him, his body conducts electricity. A thing we don't do, but destructive enough if not controlled properly.

"Do you see that Cass? I'm superhuman! I can generate electricity. What about you? Wield those pathetic weapons that are humans?" He said.

Charles revert back to his original form. Of course, he doesn't like to be insulted, even if that's his best friend.

"You think I'm human? Really? You slaughtered me, my wife, everyone like an animal for consumption! You're f****** arse! You think you're mighty? You're not. You're a mere shit in Cass's feet. You can't reach their ranks. You haven't seen her being serious." Charles spat.

Charles was one of the strongest between the four of them. For years he's been with me and my teachings, he can master to revert back without being called which I'm proud of.

That means if I decided something unjust, he can pull me back to my senses.

He pulled Nico at my back to use it as a weapon. "You're not alone in this fight, Cass. I'll make sure to send his arse to hell."

I want to argue and stop him, but the determination in his eyes is so strong I can't say no.

I stared at him to tell him I agree. He smiled. "Don't worry, young lady. We're going to party after this ends."

I want to doubt what he said to me, but I don't want him to get disappointed and angry at me.

"Have it your way, then." I said that made him attack Jason.

Jason, who's savoring his powers didn't expect that Charles will attack him without any hesitation lingering in his eyes.

Jason tried to electrocuted him, but Charles was fast enough to avoid it and thrust the blade to him.

The blade found its way to Jason's left stomach. I just hope that Nico can deal with blood splatters all over him in blade form.

Jason coughed up blood. His eyes were wide.

"Ugk! Y-you!" Jason tried to grab Charles, but the latter pulled the blade and fall back.

"How does it feel, Jason? To be stabbed like an animal by your friend? Does it hurt? It does, right? That's what you did to me and Amanda, you bastard! Your greed ate your humanity and did not hesitate to kill us. You slaughtered us like we are nothing to you!" Charles snarled.

"Enough." I commanded. "Don't let your emotions sway you, Charles."

He sighed. I know he's itchy to kill him, but if he's reckless, it will costs everything.

"I know you're waiting for this time to happen, but please control yourself. You might end up regretting it and kill yourself on the process."

It sounds ridiculous for me to say such things like that towards him, knowing I can't even assess my own emotions.
