Masako whose retreat was stopped due the self detonation of the insect tide delaying her from going to the rescue of her grandmother, saw how a thorn with huge power and speed pierced through the nether flame dome while heading towards her grandma, she knew no matter how fast she ran she would not get there in time just when she despaired she caught a glimse of her grandma"s face, her face carried a tranquil smile looking at the smile only these words came to Masako"s mind " do not worry grandma has got it covered. "But for some reason Masako felt her heart was uneasy, even though she had complete confidence in her grandma"s strength the unrest in her heart did not go away.
Just when the thorn was about 250 meters away from her grandma she saw a blurry figure interrupt the thorns path to her grandma"s hind neck. next millisecond she saw that the blurry figure was none other than the western girl whom she mocked and called dumb. that very second see saw the girl whom she mocked protected her grandma by using her body as meat shield.
" guys stop do not get with in 20 feet of the body, Ava you too... Trisha"s body is affect by very potent poison I do not know if its contagious.. " warned Luca, but unfortunately n.o.body seem to heed his warning.
" what do you mean, Tisha is immune to poison.. " said Ava looking at Luca with full of killing intent for calling Trisha a body.
" Poison according to original works the thorn was indeed laced with a sure kill extreme yin poison which even killed Sukehime , f.u.c.k why does she always has to act hero. s.h.i.t! I repeatedly reminded her not to play hero.. " Cursed James, unable to cope with the reality.
" we do not know not unless I check the wound, it could be the thorn or the poison it contained. " said Luca he was walking on egg sh.e.l.ls here and was trying to avoid using any words like dead, body etc. the atmosphere was very sensitive especially around Ava and James.
" James, control yourself Luca is a medic let check Trisha"s condition" said Mira, kneeling next to the body of Trisha.
" wait! I can feel little vatilty in her body, its as if she has entered dormant state. The growth, development, and cell activity are temporarily stopped minimizing the metabolic activity as if trying to conserve energy, it seems her body is trying to fight the poison and recover while rest of the bodily activites are temporarily shut down. but..but.. " Luca finally found that Trisha was not dead yet but he did not no for how long she can maintain the fight and there was nothing he could think of which could help Trisha"s condition.
" but what will you speak clearly .." said James agitatedly.
Luca got himself together and calmly like a professional medic he said " Trisha"s body is fighting back putting up a resistance but it slowly losing the fight I do not know how long the body can hold up before.... and there is nothing I can think off to help Trisha. "
" you might not but they should " said James looking at approaching Masako. clearly was not ready to loss hope.
Masako hurriedly approached the Injured girl, she could feel tiny vitality in her trying to put up a resistance. when she looked at the girls body she was staggered and mummbled " Extreme Yin Moon Dew Poison " after getting herself together what astound her was that this weak girl was able to resist the sure death poison which even her grandma feared.
Masako slowly took off the pendant on her neck and looked at the 7 people present and said " get back leave the body on the ground. " hearing Masako"s order them to leave Trisha"s injured body on ground, all 7 looked aggressively at her but then a voice sounded in their mind.
[ Guys do as she say she can help Trisha, Ava place Trisha"s body on ground and move back. ] After seeing Masako remove the pendant around her neck James knew what she was upto and asked everyone do as she says.
Carefully placing Trisha"s body on the ground Ava and the rest moved back about 20 meters, than Masako slowly walk to the Trisha"s chanting mantra"s the pendant in her and started to glow afterwards she placed the pendant right above Trisha"s heart and she retreated. the glow on the pendant grew as it final blended in to Trisha, than vitality in Trisha"s body rose sharply. As the vitality in Trisha"s body grew every spore in her skin start to spew unknow liquid which coming in contact with air tured in to silk slowly covering Trisha"s entire body. The silk covering Trisha"s boby hardend forming a coc.o.o.n like most insects.
Looking at this amazing yet beatifuly weired scene everyone was stunned. Masa ko looked at the group and said " Thank you guys I really appreciate your help and I am sorry for my behavior earlier. "
" No, thank you for helping our friend, Masako-San. " said James politely after all she did save Trisha"s life.
Masako shook her head and said " this is what I owe your friend, as I am in dept of her for saving my grandma. if not for her I would have Lost my grandma for sure. " saying that she retreated to her grandma"s side.
[ Trisha"s Ability is really worth of s cla.s.s ] sighed Mira.
[Is it Trisha"s ability or the pendant and by the way what is that pendant, Malinda?"]asked Luca noticing Trisha"s vitality suddenly increase, is the pendant a treasure, Item or a tailsmen.
Getting no reply from Malinda, Luca asked again [ Malinda you there.] this caught everyones attention especially James.
[ Janet check if Malinda mental chennal is still connected. ] said James suspiciously as he ran toward the wagon in search of Malinda.
Seeing James"s reaction Janet and the rest knew some thing was wrong, Janet hurriedly checked the connection and said [ No, the connection is broken. but wierdly I did not get a notification.]
Reaching the Wagon James shouted Malinda"s name out loud but, hearing now reasponse he searched the wagon only to find it empty, then stomped his feet angerily and cursed " that b.i.t.c.h."
Mira and Ava chose to guard Tisha"s coc.o.o.n, while Janet and rest followed James to Wagon. seeing James grudingly curse, Luca asked [what happend where is Malinda] rest also looked at James for answer.
James gritted his teeth and said [ that b.i.t.c.h betrayed us. ]
[ What are you insinuating James, words cannot be spoke indiscriminately. ] said Leon, Malinda was part of his team, as Malinda was not present to defend herself as leader he had to.
[ she knew where the core of the formation array was hidden all this time, but she lied straight to our face. ] said James looking around the wagon as if searching for some thing.
[ what do you mean, can just get to the point. ] said Luca, unable to believe James.
After looking around the wagon for some trail marks, James looked under the wagon where found a freshly open pit inside which he saw Malinda was sitting leaning against the pits walls with her eyes closed as if maditating but the core of the formation was nowhere to be found. getting up he turned to Leon, Luca and rest, pointing under the wagon he said " all your answers are right there. "
Luca, Leon, Justin and Janet looked under the Wagon and saw Malinda sitting inside a pit while leaning against the wall of the pit with her eyes closed. looking at scene they did not know what to say, no matter how they read the situation Malinda looked very guilty. but they still wanted to give Malinda the benefit of the doubt before jumping to the conclusion.
Just then Malinda suddenly opened her eyes and her iris shone with blue black light, scaring the s.h.i.t out of the four.
...........
Malinda Ray, No Malinda Ray Baylord was born to the second brother of the current Patriarch of the Baylord family.
Malinda Baylord was the genius who awakened a ability with s-cla.s.s mutated organ. if it was in any other family she would have become the percious treasure of the family and even treated with the same respect as the Patriarch. but sadly she was not, her own father betrayed her to steal her ability.
Mutated organ"s are nothing but normal human organs which are mutated during iniciation ritual and have gained extraodinary functions.
Mutated Organ iin some way is similar to Soul organ but unlike soul organ Mutated organ can be transplant to a matching host with in the 3 months of the organ is mutated. beacuse mutated organ"s have two stage of awakening. first stage is maturity period in this period the mutated organ mature"s to best suit the user in this period the mutated organ can be transplanted to another suitable host. second stage is the matured stage the mutated organ is completely awakened and the user can fully display and control the organ, now after the maturity the organ becomes unique to the user and can no longer be transplant to other"s even if transplanted it will actively reject the new host.
Malinda"s father in orther to gain more strength and over throw his brother cruely stole his daughter"s mutated organ leaving malinda in comatose state.
After 5 year"s Malinda finally woke up from her comatose state but had lost the feeling below her waist. In 5 years many chages had taken place her, firstly her father was sucessfully able to overthrow his brother 2 years ago, secondly her mother died of unknown reasons last year and her father did lose any time to replace her mother with a new step mom. lastly her baby sister was now 6 years old and unlike her she was fortunte and only awakened a a cla.s.s ability.
A year after gaining conscious Malinda bid her good bye to the Baylord family and moved to city Z31 along with her sister. Since the sisters reminded him of his crimes the new patriarch ready agreed with Malinda"s decision.

The core is the power supply and control of a array formation, making it the most important part of the array formation. The core can be placed in three positions in a array formation, based on these positions the array"s strenght differs. these three positions are outside the array formation, at the border of the array formation or inside the array formation.
If the core is place out the array formation the strangth of the formation decrease by a huge gap, but the control over the formation increase and it is relatively safe, the chances of the target escaping the array increase highly.
if the core is at the edge of the formation array the strenght and the control of the formation array will be avarage many do not chose this approach as this is not ideal.
If the core is placed inside the formation array then the strength of the formation increase highly but it compromise"s the control over the formation array. many choose this to quickly finsh the enemy in most case the core is hidden with a powerful illusion array powered by the core itself.
Since the flame fiend came into the formation array but did not have the core clearly hinted towards the core being inside the formation array. this even James figured out.
but the hard part was finding where it was inside the formation, who knew deep the core was hidden under ground. there were too many varibles making it harder to figure out where the core was hidden.
Instead of muling over where the core was hidden, Malinda thought why were the insects so desperatly trying to surround and attack the wagon. then a thought struck in Malinda"s mind , what if the core was hidden right under their nose"s. following her gut Malinda went under the wagon after that everything became clear as she could see the freshly cover ground, without hesitation Malinda uncovered the pit using her bare hand. even though Malinda did not focus on physical cla.s.ses she was still stronger than average human begins as a s-cla.s.s ability awakener. uncovering the core Malinda hurriedly stared to refine the core ceasing every second.
