Chapter 131: Full transformation
Inside the infirmary, Ariel sat at her desk. She stared at a piece of paper for a while without saying anything, then she crumpled it and pulled out a pendant from the drawer of her table.
It was a simple oval locket made from polished silver, with the engraving of a small bird on it. She rubbed the engraving with her thumb slowly and then opened the locket.
Inside was the picture of a man, a young boy, and a woman together, smiling happily. A tear dropped on the painting. She immediately cleaned it off and wiped her eyes.
"I’m sorry, Mum, Dad, Andrew. I’ll have to fight today," she said. She closed the locket and wore it around her neck. She stretched out her hands, and a spear appeared. She drew a deep breath and walked out of the infirmary.
She walked down the hallway, the same way Fay had gone, and when she made it to the main hallway, some demonized were there. They rushed toward her immediately from all angles.
She stayed stationary until they were close—too close even—then she moved. Her fingers spun the spear so fast the force cut into the floor, and then she vanished.
She appeared up in the air, the spear pulled back. "It’s good to hold a spear after such a long time," she said and threw the spear down. It stabbed into the ground, and immediately the ground froze. Ice spikes shot out and stabbed into the demonized, killing them all on the spot.
She landed on the ice and let out a cold breath. She pulled the spear out and started walking toward the library.
She dragged her spear along the ground, causing a very loud scraping sound. When she arrived at the hallway to the library, she saw Fay covered in injuries, bleeding and struggling to keep standing.
