"And now that I have chosen a point where the news will spread, it will continue even without me." Faye smiled at her words; since she had completed her mission, she wouldn't have to worry about anything else and could enjoy her time with Max.
WHOOOSH
Meanwhile, Alvin's body continued to suck its blood back into the body; green veins popped up on his entire body, and his body turned dead pale. Alvin's body right now looked like it was made up of worms, with green veins popping out everywhere.
"Bleargh...." Faye wanted to puke at the sight, but nothing came out.
"I can't believe he could be more disgusting." Faye commented as her face twisted in disgust.
SPLASH (6x)
All the blood had already seeped back into his body, but it didn't stop there! His body slowly started to snap everywhere, as if his body were turning everything into blood. Slowly, all the blood in his body started to move up to his mind as his body continued to wither and the skin covering his head began to bloat and expand.
"Bleargh!!" Faye puked at the sight, which was the most disgusting thing she had all her life!
SHWOOMMM
The heart of once-Alvin's body began to glow crimson red, and some of the blood flowed towards the glow before becoming concentrated on that spot. After a while, a prism-shaped crimson red crystal protruded out from the body and fixed itself in the body's heart area.
UMBUUOOOOOO
But the blood that was flowing into the body's brain area continued to flow as the skin on the head stretched out; it seemed like the eyes would pop out if the head stretched out even a bit more, but it showed no signs of stopping. The body's mouth, nose, and ears abruptly opened wide, and all the wrinkled skin below the head started to stretch up towards the head as the blood continued to fill up in the head.
After a few minutes.
BOOM
A loud 'boom' resounded as the head busted open and stopped. Everything about the body in front of Faye, who was continuously throwing up, stopped. The huge puddle of blood which exploded out of that body's head was floating mid-air as if somebody had 'paused' the 'process,' like pausing a video when the water balloon popped, to admire it in awe, but the sight in front of her was anything but awe; it was too gory, too disgusting, and too much of every word used to describe the level of its disgustingness.
"Bleargh....haa...haa...haaa...." Faye was puking continuously; she had now started to puke blood, even while she was in constant pain. It didn't matter at all; she just wanted that disgusting feeling to stop! And now that what she wished for has happened, like literally, she hoped she could close her eyes and forget about this, which could be considered a most disgustingly traumatic experience.
WBLUBBLUB
"NO!" Faye screamed on top of her lungs, as she saw the blood which started to vortex around the body's head and disappeared.
"!?" Faye opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
All the blood simply.... disappeared.
"Wh...at?" Faye mumbled in disbelief.
SNIFF
"!" She sniffed the air once and jumped back in fear; the air around her smelled like blood. Since there was a ton of blood in the exposure, it wasn't supposed to be a big deal, but her instincts screamed, 'Danger!'
WHOOSH
And abruptly, a wide, crimson-colored line appeared in the spot where she just stood; it was the same line that would appear every time she used her 'Quick Sword' trait! Only then did she start to focus on her senses and the dagger-holding hand of the body, which was once named Alvin.
"!" Faye gasped again and jumped to her right when she saw a blur of the hand that held a dagger.
"Uck!" Faye groaned and held her left bicep where the attack had just gazed her just now.
pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ *
A few minutes earlier.
The headless, withered body had yet to move a single step while Faye, who was dodging all of its attacks, was covered in cuts that were not life-threatening but deep enough to cause bleeding. Since her whole body was covered in blood, it wouldn't be weird if she fainted any moment now.
"Haa...haa...haaa...ha..." Faye breathed heavily while crouching down on her right knee, but suddenly the headless, withered body turned around towards the office door and disappeared from the place it had previously stood, and...
BOOOOMMMM
An ear deafening 'BOOM' resounded throughout the entire guild building, and a silhouette was shot out, crashing through three walls before arriving at the room where Faye was. The silhouette was shot back while fluttering like a wet rag. Faye couldn't distinguish what was happening since everything was covered in a thick cloud of dust.
STEP (6x)
"!" The sound of footsteps resounded in the room where an eerie silence had descended previously, and Faye's eyes were shot wide open when she heard familiar footsteps, and a small smile appeared on her face when she realised who the footsteps belonged to.
WHOOSH
Something small shot out of the thick dust cloud, and Faye didn't even flinch at the sudden moment, even though it happened right in front of her; she simply raised her hand and caught it.
TING
BLOBLUBLOB
"...." She stared at the volumetric flask filled with a thick green coloured liquid roll on her hand, she recognized that potion, it was a higher grade healing potion.
POP
GLUP (5x)
She popped the cap and took five small gulps of the potion without hesitation and stood back up on her feet as all the wounds on her body began to heal, but her mana and stamina, which were almost depleted, stayed like that. But she didn't complain and simply walked towards the armchair, which was supposed to be around there somewhere.
"Ah! Here it is." Faye mumbled, picked up the fallen armchair, and sat down on it comfortably, with a bright expression on her face that seemed to indicate that the face that had been filled with anguish previously was a lie. She was still feeling pain all over her body, and the potion had yet to completely heal her, but it didn't matter now since she knew everything would be alright now.
TAP
Faye tapped on her cracked smartwatch to check the time.
====
[7: 59 PM]
====
(AN: Time in chapter 187 changed to [7: 48 PM] since I thought it was a bit too short of a time for all of those things to happen.)
"Oh!" She exclaimed and smiled brightly.
"You are quite early, Mr. Punctual."
