712. The Electric Fang VS The Wise Black Wolf
Black clouds gathered above the city. Static discharge sporadically appeared in the dusty atmosphere, crackling away as the giant, five-meter-tall wolf made of pure darkness howled with Raoul’s voice at an invisible moon.
“I could never wish this lamentation upon my own sisters!” Raoul began as the clouds above the world spiraled like a forming cyclone. “All you had to do was give up on your aspirations to avoid this hell. But you followed me, Cer, down beyond the depths of my limbo to the gates of our inferno!”
Its crimson eyes gleamed with hunger as it puffed out its chest proudly, stroking the ground with its front paws. Black splotches appeared on its shoulders, forming another two heads.
They snapped at each other, each speaking a word in order from left to right.
“You’re wrong. You weren’t the only one in a state of limbo. We’ve been suckling on the teat of the Ateliers for Serum G for thirty years! Any aspirations I had were killed and manufactured to exist because of the Ateliers! All I wanted was to stay next to you, Raoul!”
“All I wanted was to push you away for your own good.”
Cer’s Emotional State sharply rose. The white tip of her tail glowed with an azure light as she felt herself manifest a part of her Corrupted Persona – Craving Electric Wolf. Unfortunately, her Blessing of the Nexus could not guide her through the process, let alone show her what Emotional State she was currently in, for that was a power of the Blessing of the Amalgam.
Instead, it was something that needed to be sensed; and mentally tapped into.
Thankfully, she was able to at least see what Corrupted Skill she was able to manifest.

Her offensive abilities saw a 50% permanent increase thanks to her Corrupted Persona’s persistent Ability: [Craving Blue Currant].
“What good would’ve separating done for us! It’s done enough damage! You said you wanted to atone, but now you’ve gone and dragged Ara into this mess! You’re...”
A wave of black electricity pulsed from the legs of the three-headed wolf. The electricity wrapped around Cer’s ankles like shackles, attempting to ensnare her. The pitiful souls that fell asleep around her were swallowed by the darkness, their flesh corroding like they were dipped into a vat of acid.
“... not making any sense to me!”
Cer however, was unfazed by the attack.
Instead, it only improved her abilities.

Her own azure electrical field countered Raoul’s as she activated [Ultracharged Field]. The immediate 15 meters of Cer was engulfed with bolts of electricity, which leapt from surfaces like fish out of a pond.
“RAOUL! IF IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR MY OWN GOOD THEN WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY ANYTHING!?”
She charged straight for Raoul’s three-headed shadow, biting at the air to summon electrical abbreviations of her jaw – [Electric Fang].
“RAOOOOOOOOUL!” She sliced one of the heads of the wolves clean off, sliding across the ground.
Raoul’s slaughter was to prove his point, rather than an act of resentment or revenge.
It was simply to prove to Cer that she would be worse off if she could stand by his side.
That she would dabble in the same depths of atrocities.
“First it was the Electric Fang that slaughtered the lives of those in Grandis.” Raoul said shortly after exchanging whispers with Beethoven. “A miserable wolf that followed in the footsteps of her brother. Next, it would have been the entirety of this continent. A wandering beast unsated with just Grandis... That is why we cannot be together. Not as the way we are. Never as how we were. Leave my sister to me, Beethoven. Take Ara to that place.”
“Bzzt. And you? Bzzt.”
“I will be following shortly.”
“Bzzt. Should we be concerned? Bzzt. That is the Fang of the Head. Bzzt. It will be problematic if the Nexus retaliates. Bzzt.”
Raoul suddenly took the Maestro by the throat, causing him to buzz in terror as Raoul drilled his eyes deep into his soul.
“Bzzt... I understand. Bzzt.”
Beethoven backed off, spawning slimy wings as he took flight with the wrapped Ara in his arms. A black rod of electricity formed in Raoul’s hand, and with a single heave, he blew a hole into the side of the building.
Cer, noticing this, immediately turned her attention to the fleeing Impuritas and prepared to give chase. However, the wolf that guarded hell charged after her with impressive speed.
“IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT!?”
It rammed into her, sending her flying into the neighboring buildings.
“TO GIVE ARA AWAY TO THOSE MONSTERS!?”
Carnage broke loose as she charged through the walls, pulverizing everything that stood in her way effortlessly. Chasing after Beethoven was her utmost priority, but the moment she broke through the last wall of the building, she was met with the fangs of Raoul’s wolf.
“WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO ACHIEVE!?”
Cer’s Emotional State continued to climb as her emotions Heightened. She could sense it, and whilst her waist was caught in the maw of the beast, she released multiple consecutive bites, eventually decapitating the head that had caught her.
“Raoul! Why them!? Why the Broken Thorn!? Why the Impuritas!? Why... what do they have that the Nexus doesn’t!?”
Only one head of Raoul’s wolf remained, but it did not bother him.
He stood out in the open now, his hands in his pockets as he fiddled with a hidden keepsake.
“A method to give every broken thorn a rose of their own.” Raoul intoned. “The outcome of a perfect rose is the resurrection of a life.”
“And you believe that!?” The undersides of Cer’s hair glowed blue now as she manifested a second Corrupted Skill.
