BXBX NOVEL Chapter 98: Evolution Stones
Supreme leaped back, creating distance from the Dangerous dual.
\'Even the system is warning me against her, it only means... This Queen-of-death in front of me is the real Queen of Death.\' He pointed his sword at her. "Come on."
The lady hovering in front of him has two skeleton wings behind her, all her limbs, and lower abdomen were made from bone, not a single skin on sight. Her chest upward, and cervix was cloaked by dark smokes, making her look dangerous and eerie. Queen-of-death fixed her pure red eyes on him.
"This is my fusion form, Micky. If you defeat me..." She paused, and added:
"...It shows you can keep up with a Diamond 1-star medal holding."
{ System advice Host to surrender.}
\'I thought you said; you want me to be the strongest?\'
{ Correct, but you aren\'t strong enough to face a Diamond medal 1-star.}
Supreme was silent for a moment, he looked up at Queen-of-death. \'Do I have a chance to face just a powerful player? Fusing with her pet boost her rank from the gold medal to the Diamond medal. But...\' He looked down at his sword.
\'...If I don\'t try, I\'ll never know how strong I am.\' He raised his head to her again.
"Come on, let\'s see what you are capable of." He stood straight, his sword tip pointing downward.
"That\'s why you are different, you never backed down from a fight." With that said, she disappeared from her position with a flash, appearing behind him.
Supreme\'s eyes widened, "So fast?" he swiftly turned around slashing with his sword.
BAM!!
He froze, and slowly lowered his head to his chest. Queen-of-death slowly pulled out his heart from his rib cage.
He spurted out a mouthful of blood, staring at her with horror. "How?" That was the only thing he muttered before falling to the ground.
{ Host is Dead.}
Even Drakon and Reaper were dumbfounded, such speed was beyond their imagination.
Queen-of-death was known as a Demoness to the world, not because of her name or rank, but because of her bloodlust. She was someone even Joker will have to think twice before attacking. Supreme might be able to draw with her in a one-on-one battle, but after fusion, she was a whole new person.

SUPREME\'S LOBBY
{ I told you to Surrender, when you get stronger, you\'ll be able to face her.}
Supreme sat up. "Even with my strength, I couldn\'t even follow her movement. Do I have a chance against her?"
{ Host might have a chance if Host\'s stats are all 200.}
"That means only one thing." He stood up. "I need to play VRG, and gain more points. Take me back, with her current strength I don\'t think Drakon will do any better."
{ Drakon might have a chance with her if he evolves to stage 1.}
"\'Might\'! The pet she Marge with Is a stage 3 evolved, and also an Epic-class. That must be the reason why she is so powerful. Drakon need to Evolve, and I also need that Fusion mode."
{With your current strength, you won\'t be able to fusion with Drakon. But can fused with Reaper.}
He grinned. "Take me back."
{Done.}
{Revival chances: 3/30.}
_
He appeared in the field staring at Queen-of-death. "Ok, that\'s enough for today." He quickly said.
"Fufufufu..." Queen-of-death chuckled hearing him, red Mana rose from the ground beneath her engulfing her figure.
Moment Next.
She walked out, back in her leather jacket and black pants.
"Are you scared, Micky?" She asked with a smile.
"Not scared but terrified, is that your full strength?"
Queen-of-death tilted her head to the right, thinking about his questions.
"No way! That isn\'t your strongest form!!" Supreme was going crazy, she was already this dangerous. Is there really another form?
\'Can I ever catch up with her? I need to play more VRG. They\'re more people out there who are even stronger than her. If they attack me now, I won\'t have the strength to defend myself, even with Drakon by my side. We need to get stronger.\' He thought.
Queen-of-death just unknowingly fueled his fighting Spirit, and will to get stronger.
"My fusion with Garuda is my strongest form. Garuda have both the Darkness bloodline and Wind bloodline, so it\'s my strongest, Geena only has Darkness bloodline." She said.
He blinked. \'Wow. This here is the real killer, that\'s why she isn\'t scared of Joker, or anyone.\' He thought and added:
"Drakon and Reaper needs to Evolve, I\'m going to AI\'s store."
"I\'m coming with you."
\'Can\'t wait to see this store.\' Drakon flew Into the air and landed on his right shoulder.
\'System close the training ground.\' He said inwardly and added:
\'AI, I want to travel to AI\'s store.\'
{Done, Host.}
{Points remaining: 9.}
___________
AI\'S STORE.
AI\'s store was not a single store, but countless streets connected together, stores of different shapes and sizes were stationed at both sides. Players could be seen walking all over the place; Going with their business.
"I never thought even with my rank, I won\'t be able to face you in your full strength." Supreme raised his head to the blue sky, as they traversed the Streets.
"Don\'t look so down, Micky. You can keep up with my speed, that\'s surprising enough; All I know is, I won\'t be able to defeat you without the fusion mode. So, you made some progress in strength, at least facing a Gold medal 3-stars holder won\'t be a problem to you."
Supreme was silent, he had surely increased in strength, True. But he wants to be the strongest, to be feared by his enemies, not be the one doing the fearing.
\'She said Sara\'s twin brother is coming for me, and he\'s in the same rank with her, the only way to survive from him is to get stronger.\'
"We are here." Queen-of-death announced.
The four stopped in front of a store with the word: on it.
The players moving around stopped, staring at Queen-of-death.
"Isn\'t that the vice Guild master of The Conquerors?"
"Yeah, but what is that monster with wings behind her? Is that her pet?"
"I don\'t know, What about that handsome guy with her?"
"I don\'t know him, wait! That dragon... That is Drakon on that guy\'s shoulder!! Do you guys think?"
"Supreme!!"
"But Supreme has brown hair."
"He might have used a disguise."
"You might be right."
A lady with long black hair, putting on a battle suit, with a long sword on her waist sneered. "So this is Supreme, I\'ll have to alert Vice Master Damon." With a thought she vanished from the store.
30 Meters from the group, a guy in a Brown cloak stared at the two with pure killing intent. \'I don\'t know why you are attacking our Guild, but you all will surely lose.\' He also vanished from the store after that.
The group stood calmly in front of the evolution store, ignoring the players around them. "Where are the stones?" He asked in mild confusion, not seeing anything inside the store through the glass windows.
"Place your hand on the door, you\'ll be taken inside, That way... No one will know what you buy. It\'s a built-in protection for the weak players." Queen-of-death explained.
"Is Supreme buying an Evolution stone?"
"It looks like it."
He nodded and placed his hand on the door, the next moment his figure was pulled in.
Supreme looked around, seeing himself in a white space.
"Show me all the stage and price."
Supreme and Drakon froze seeing the crazily huge amount of in-game diamonds.
"Show me my diamonds."
"So I can purchase only one first stage Evolution stone." He turned to Drakon who was standing on his shoulder. "This is all your fault!"
\'How Is it my fault?\' Drakon asked back, looking at the side.
"If you haven\'t used all the diamonds to buy that castle, we could have got two first stage Evolution stones, For you and Reaper."
\'How would I have known we\'ll need it?\'
Supreme shook his head and said to AI. "Buy one First Stage Evolution stone."
"Yes."
A red stone the size of a baby\'s fist appeared, hovering in front of the two; He caught it and said to AI. "That\'s all, take us out."
__
"How was it?" Queen-of-death asked, she and Reaper had been waiting outside for the two.
"Got it, time to head back--"
"--Michael?"
The two turned around towards the voice. Supreme was stunned seeing the figure behind him.
"Erika?"
