Chapter 1056 Me And You The Same In a short amount of time, Xin was able to achieve part of her revenge. Deep down, she knew she couldn’t go for Harvor or match up to him. She had seen what he was capable of, which was why she had decided to take out those around him. A difficult task, but in the process, she would learn to become more ruthless, face countless challenges, and maybe even grow strong enough to take down Harvor as well. All her life, she had overcome the difficulties in front of her and thought she might be able to do the same by herself and alone. Yet in the situation she was in now, she felt hopeless. She stood on the open grass, seeing a large number of people sitting at tables. Harvor sat there in sunglasses, his tattoo showing from his back and a scar running up his arm. At the same table, there was a man in a white lab coat, and as for the others, it was the rest of the Zodiacs that had arrived. She thought that maybe, seeing Harvor in front of her, she would lash out and try to take him down. Instead, her mind was racing as she saw the strongest of the One Gang gathered in one place. Her eyes even landed on Apollo for a few moments; his expression said it all. Even if he was Gary’s friend, there was nothing he could do in this situation. Even with Harvor right in front of her, it wasn’t the right time—there was no way she could escape this. ‘The last two people I was going to face on my list were Stanley and Harvor. That damned Zodiac member who’s always by his side… he’s somewhere around here even during Harvor’s fights. He’s an unknown variable.’ There was only one correct decision in this situation, and she had decided to take it: to run. Turning around, the feathers on her legs extended out and vibrated, emitting a large amount of yellow-colored electricity around her feet. It traveled up to her single wing that sprouted from her shoulder and then spread across the rest of her body. She turned and blasted off, leaving a tunnel of electricity right behind her. If there was one thing her Altered form had over others, it was speed. Yet, after only four steps, she crashed into what felt like a solid wall, causing her to fall back on her feet. “I am someone who always completes their tasks... you are not getting away,” Stanley said. It was then that Xin realized what she had crashed into. It wasn’t a wall of any kind; it was a large wing. Spread out on Stanley’s back were two large, blue-colored wings suspended in the air. As he stretched out his hands, two swords seemingly made of ice appeared. Xin stood up, ready to bolt again, but Stanley was right in front of her. He slashed her leg, creating a deep cut on her inner thigh, and then went to swing the sword across her body. Xin managed to lift her hand in time, blocking the sword, but blood was dripping down her forearms as the blade had cut a good inch into her arm. Stanley then let go of both swords he had created, swinging his hand toward her leg. Another ice sword formed, piercing just to the side of her shin bone and sticking into the ground. With his other hand, Stanley grabbed her neck, and her whole body started to freeze over at that moment. “I thought, since we were the same type of Altered, we would have been a match for each other. After all, you took out William, but it appears I was completely wrong.” “Do you even know what type of Altered you are?” Stanley asked. “Both of us are wyverns. People often confuse us with dragons, but we are far weaker than them, though we still hold great power, particularly in speed.” “On top of that, wyverns are here to serve dragons—that is our role. And you are not committing to your role in this beast-like world.” “How dare you even think you could take on royalty?” Stanley shouted. Xin had no idea what type of Altered she was; she remembered watching the video from one of the NIRV employees. But the video was dark, and she could only make out that it was a winged creature with an elemental power of lightning. As for the difference between wyverns and dragons, she only knew from books that described their appearance and where their wings were attached—part of their arms rather than separated. Her Altered form wasn’t quite like that, but it might have had something to do with her human side interfering in the first place. Yet, hearing Stanley’s words, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Haha, why are you following these stupid rules of these beasts!” Xin shouted. “Are you saying you only follow Harvor for this reason?” “Let me tell you something: if these beasts that we infuse our bodies with were so great, then why aren’t they still here now? Because they were all killed!” “Just because Harvor has a dragon infused in his body doesn’t make him some type of god! The dragons fell, and he will fall as well. If it’s not me, then someone else will do the job!” Although she didn’t mention anyone in particular, an image of a certain individual appeared in her mind, and it made her wonder—is this what Jayden saw as well? Was this the person Jayden had put his hopes on as well? Maybe, rather than trying to take on this whole thing by herself, she should have leaned on him a bit more. “Maybe... I should have spent more time with him,” Xin mumbled to herself. Angered by her words, Stanley swung his sword, and with ice encasing her whole body, there was nowhere for her to go. ---
