Chapter 11: Explore the fantasy
Alexis walked into the cafe and saw that a lot of cat food had been spilled on the ground, and the mirror near the door was cracked. It looked like there had just been a small conflict.
"What's going on here?"- Alexis
"Ah, it was a conflict. Seriously, this place was supposed to be a place for relaxation, not an arena for them to fight each other, right?"
"Let me ask you something, are you the group of people in black cloaks from earlier?"- Alexis
"Yes, that's the group. They're the Blood Moon Clan, a group of arrogant vampires"
"Are they really vampires? Could it be that there's also..."- Alexis
"Yes, it's the Brutal Wolf, the werewolves, the sworn enemies of vampires. A bunch of bad guys"
"That sounds really cool!"- Alexis
"I almost forgot to introduce myself, my name is Sam Phelan. A purebred werewolf"- Sam
"You're a werewolf?!"- Alexis was surprised
"Surprising, right? Many people are like you, usually dogs have a hard time being around cats like this, but once they get used to it, everything will be fine"- Sam
"So what's the business of that group of people here?"- Alexis
"They're trying to make things difficult for me, if not With the boss here, they won't dare to act rashly. Now, what would you like to drink?"- Sam
"I almost forgot, a cup of cocoa"- Alexis
"And a chakra stone"- Wiro
"And another chakra stone, how much do chakra stones cost?"- Alexis
"Chakra stones aren't as expensive as you think, they're mined a lot so the price is reasonable"- Sam
Hearing that, Alexis bought another chakra stone and took the drink upstairs and saw Lyra sitting there.
"Lyra!"- Alexis
"Oh, hello Alexis. Are you here again?"- Lyra
"Actually, I came here to look for you and the others"- Alexis
"So what's your problem? I can help you"- Lyra
"Can you help me?"- Alexis was surprised
"Of course, I have a lot of experience. Moreover, Brother Ryu personally taught me, so my skills are top-notch"- Lyra
"Really? Then can you come with me to this place? I really need help!"- Alexis
So Alexis drove Lyra back to her house, but she didn't say that this was her house because it might cause trouble. When Lyra looked towards the dead end, she immediately bowed to the ground.
"Someone died here. The traces have been erased, but there are still quite a few left."- Lyra
"Really? But I didn't see anything?"- Alexis
"It's okay, now take out your phone and use the camera app to point your phone in this direction."- Lyra
Following the girl's words, Alexis took out her phone and used the camera app to move it in that direction. The screen displayed a scene similar to an infrared thermometer. The place where Lyra was standing had a liquid splash everywhere, if you didn't look at the phone device, it would be hard to believe that something terrible had happened here.
"What do you think?"- Lyra
"A lot....A lot of blood..."- Alexis
"The blood trail dragged to the wall and then disappeared, that's probably where the gate is. Okay, we've determined the location of the gate, so let's go in and take a look. You come along too"- Lyra
"Do I have to come too?"- Alexis
"Of course, by coming along you can observe and learn, which can improve your fighting skills! Which rookie isn't like that!"- Lyra
"But..."- Alexis
"Wait, this girl just went through a tough ordeal and hasn't recovered yet. If you go, you won't be able to protect her"- Wiro
"Pssh, you're worrying too much. I have very good skills so everything is under control! Right Stepha?"- Lyra
"Yeah...that's right"- Stepha
Lyra was satisfied with the answer Stepha agreed, she pulled Alexis and ran towards the alley wall, then jumped into the wall. In front of them was a completely different place, a large and dense forest. Lyra was quite excited, but Alexis was a bit dizzy because she was not used to going through the gate.
"This place is quite quiet, isn't it? From what I know, quiet places like this are usually the hideouts of gentle creatures. They usually don't want to get involved in trouble."- Lyra
"Pleasant creatures? Like fairies or elves?"- Alexis
"You seem to like fantasy stuff, huh? It's true that such creatures exist, but they're very shy. You have to get used to them before you can talk to them."- Lyra
"Is that so?"- Alexis
"Stepha, what do you think we're going to face?"- Lyra
"I think it's something not too complicated, easy to deal with."- Stepha
"You guys seem confident, huh?"- Alexis
"Of course, I've only been learning tarot for a short time, but I've been taught by Brother Ryu."- Lyra
"Is Brother Ryu that trustworthy?"- Alexis
"Ryu is actually one of the very few people have reached the level of a tarot master. Normally, tarot readers only read tarot 50/50% correctly. But masters can read correctly from 90%-100%."- Lyra
"So that's how it is, so what level have you reached?"- Alexis
"I'm 70%. Just practice hard and you will get results. You can do it too, it's just a bit difficult for you"- Lyra
"Why is that?"- Alexis
"Because Ouroboros are people who have immortal souls but are limited in their spiritual perception and are prone to danger"- Stepha
"That's right, like yesterday"- Wiro
"Brother Ryu told us yesterday, and it sounded very reckless"- Lyra
Hearing that made Alexis a bit embarrassed, but her actions yesterday were indeed a bit reckless, without any thought, just focusing on going in without any precautions, causing Brother Ryu and the police yesterday to be injured. While walking, Lyra stopped, and the person behind her also stopped.
"What's going on?"- Alexis
"Shh, be quiet"- Lyra
The forest was quiet, Lyra and Stepha seemed to be very alert to everything around them when something was heard
"Kii!"
"Kii Kii!"
"Kii Kii Kii!"
The loud scream made them cover their ears because it was too loud, from the bushes started to move, they were gradually running towards them. Realizing the danger, Lyra immediately pulled out a card called Hermit, creating a lantern that emitted purple light floating in the air, the lantern flew away and the two girls chased after it.
Not knowing what creatures were chasing after them but they were probably not friendly. They chased after the lantern until they saw a light ahead and ran even faster.
Surprisingly, when they ran, both Lyra and Alexis fell down in front of them was a deep abyss with floating rocks. The girl Alexis screamed in fear, then Lyra used the entire deck of tarot cards to throw them all out, the cards immediately folded to form a giant stork to save the two girls from danger and flew up into the sky.
"Oh my god! What...what just happened?!"- Alexis
"Don't worry, Stepha saved us"- Lyra
"We're flying?"- Alexis
"That's right!"- Lyra
Alexis slowly opened her eyes, the scene in front of her was very fantasy. From the sky, to the ground, even the strange-looking creatures that she thought were only in her imagination, unexpectedly they really existed in front of her.
The first time flying high made Alexis very excited, she forgot the feeling of fear just now, instead she smiled brightly with joy. Flying through the blue clouds then flying over the abandoned buildings then to a very large lake when looking down Alexis saw himself very clear like a mirror reflection.
Flying for a long time then Stepha landed on the ground and disappeared into cards then returned to his master's pocket.
"It's so wonderful! It feels so...so..."- Alexis
"Hm?"- Lyra
"Amazing, I can't believe everything is so dreamy"- Alexis
"I told you, it's not as dangerous as you think. It's just that there are a few places that are a bit dangerous to pay attention to"- Lyra
In front of them was the exit gate to the outside, without thinking they went through it. The gate led them to a place with a few abandoned houses, a rather gloomy place but a few steps away from the city center so the two girls didn't need to worry too much
"I have to be honest, I didn't think such a beautiful place existed. I really feel very lucky to believe in such spiritual things"- Alexis
"Oh, spiritual things are even more interesting if we finally find you"
A voice interrupted the conversation and attracted their attention, turning towards the voice they saw a man wearing a black cloak. It wasn't just him, there were many people wearing black cloaks appearing around them.
Wiro stood on Alexis's shoulder and growled threateningly, the little wolf's expression was enough to understand how dangerous these people were.
"Who are you?"- Lyra
"Funny little drama kid, you know who we are"
The man in the black cloak approached with red eyes flashing in the night, enough to understand who this man or these people were.
"Blood Moon Clan"- Lyra
"I didn't expect you guys to walk into the tiger's den like this, it would save us the trouble of searching, right Ouroboros?"
Alexis eyes widened in surprise, were they looking for her too?
