Chapter 47 - 47

Racine felt a movement coming behind him and he turn to see Lyka climbing up.

"Can you do that again?" She said with sweat dripping from her brows, "I ran out of mana midway"

""What?" Racine muttered but he didn't hesitate to reach his hand and grab Lyka again, His not exactly trusting that he could escape with his person but Racine would need to make sure she could cause as much ruckus as possible while he made his escape

Any variable will do.

Racine gave Lyka a light tap only for his wrist to be grab by her, "Just hold still" She said and then she proceed to stare into the air once more.

'Is she chanting something?' Racine can't really understand how awakener's abilities work when he spend the time with Okarina, he was always surprised on the way she seem to never ran out of thread or fabric at her sewing.

Even Alex's ability was weird. 

'Am i supposed to see something?' Racine glanced at the spot that Lyka seem to be looking at there on the surface of the container was a small black dot, then another.

And Another.

Like ink dripping down from somewhere the drops accumulated and create a puddle and from puddle was a something bigger.

Racine don't have a good feeling about this, He plans to make some distance but Lyka's hold remain firm, "Don't worry, it won't attack its caster" She said.

"I think.." She added making Racine's already non-existent trust to fade, "Its my first time trying to manifest it in solid form" She explained and Racine barely register her words on his mind.

"It takes too long" Racine pulled Lyka to lay down on top of the container with him afraid of any passerby eyes.

Still Racine got a bad feeling Madonna already know.

Tap..

Tap..

Came out of Lyka's puddle was a hairy looking tail the same size as Racine's head.

"Wha-" Racine's iris shook at the sight as whatever that tail was pierced into the container and bending it a bit.

Then another tail came out no- another feet came out.

"WHAT IS THAT!!" Someone shouted and Racine want to make a run for it while everyone was distracted however lyka hold him still.

"Its still not fully out yet" Lyka said to him, "I need more mana, if this is sucessfull we could escape together"

Racine clicked his tongue, "Do it faster" He hurried her.

He didn't know why he felt bitter.

This woman could help him but still.

Can he really depend on this person? I don't trust her. 

No- Its 

Racine don't want this feeling at all.

This feeling of being unable to do anything at all.

"What even are you-" Racine almost slide of to the now collapsing container with Lyka pulling him just in time before he completely tumble off it.

In the process his eyes glanced at the multiple large legs that is forcibly trying to crawl out of the inky spot.

A loud hiss was heard coming from it like it was doing its hardest to wedge itself to the narrow opening for its dear life.

"How fascinating" Racine heard that dreadful line making him snap to the side.

Strutting towards them was Madonna two containers away with multiple other awakeners following behind her.

"Hurry!!" Racine shouted at Lyka.

Lyka wants to whine only to realize a sudden surge of revitalization on her body.

Like drinking cold water after hours of thirst.

The whole container was dyed black and Racine sweat seeing multiple large eyes the size of his head blink at him.

Racine tensed the owner of those eyes stood up from whatever hell hole it came from.

The container completely collapsed under its weight as the large spider the size of the container itself appeared, it stretched its legs, its eyes blinking then it let out a large hiss that sends Racine's ears to a temporary static.

Racine almost got crushed by one of it's legs if not for Lyka pulling him into her arms.

"Who should I go for?" Lyka asked him and Racine pointed towards Madonna.

"GO!" Lyka signaled towards the large spider.

The Spider's shadow loomed over them for a moment before it pounced towards Madonna.

An Awakener the man who cuffed Lyka stood before the Spider.

His whole body turning into metal he tried to stop the spider's movements by grabbing one of its legs only to be dragged along.

"Let's move" Racine urged Lyka to go, Lyka closed her eyes again and came out of the inky spot was a deformed looking horse with two heads and flaming red eyes. somehow it had an inky a saddle and reins attached.

'Could that horse even know which direction to go with two heads?' Racine thought to himself before turning towards Madonna's direction.

Multiple abilities was shot forwards the Spider yet it remain standing only focusing on its main target.

"Do you even know how to ride a horse?" Racine questioned.

Lyka climb on top of the horse and picked Racine up by the scruff like a cat tossing him in front of her, "I don't" She said before snapping the horses reins.

Racine's head banged against Lyka with the horse moving forward, "Cross the River" Racine Commanded her before rubbing his head with a completely annoyed expression.

"Shouldn't I be on the back?" He questioned but Lyka didn't answer with the horse moving exactly towards where Racine instruction.
