Chapter 5: a humbled woman and bloody mistake
Squigly saw one of her idols and she about to pop like a fan girl but something felt wrong.
Max: who the hell are you?
Eliza: well thats unexpected you never heard of me?
Max: no should I care?
Eliza: well to lift you from the rock you've have been under I'm Eliza the famous singer I've been popular for a while.
Max: never heard of you.
Eliza: oh that's a shame but-
Eliza's eyes landed on squigly and it was surprising that an undead is awake her eyes recognized her parasite.
Eliza: well well well look at this it's been a while leviathan.
Leviathan: I'm sorry but I don't think we met before.
Eliza: oh darling we have just that you don't recognize me like this
To max and squigly's surprised Eliza's face split to reveal a skeleton but it look more like a cat
Eliza: how about now?
Leviathan: sekhmeth but you should be dead!
Eliza: oh please I suck on blood for a living all I need is just one drop and I'm back though I got to say I'm honestly disappointed in your new host a dead girl thats pretty sad you are wasting your potential.
Leviathan: I don't care much for power unlike you I actually had somewhere to belong and at least I'm not a leech like you.
Eliza: aww leviathan that's hurtful.
Cerebella: are you done we have a job to do.
Eliza: hush girl the adults are talking.
Leviathan: what are you doing here neferu if you are looking for the skull heart you came to the wrong place.
Eliza: oh that old name I missed being called that buy actually we are here for the boy.
Max: me?
Eliza: well the medichi want you dead but I want to make you an offer boy. Work with me and I promise to give you everything you want.
Cerebella: what the hell? Are you-
Albus: shut it kid the mistress is talking.
Max could tell just by looking at this woman she was a calamity waiting to happen but if the medichi want him dead then this woman wants his power just from her character alone Max could tell that she is troubled
Max: I'm not stupid enough to accept an offer from a widow like you.
Eliza: what a shame well I guess I will have to kill you how unfortunate.
Leviathan: squigly get ready sekhmeth is a dangerous opponent we will have to be careful.
Squigly: understood.
Max: well at least is better then a lost soul....Moline.
Moline: got it.
Moline materialized behind max surprising the group she opened her mouth and he pulled out a shot sword.
Moline: you need an extra hand?
Max: no I can handle this myself.
Moline: if you say so.
With that Moline faded into white particles and Eliza couldn't hold her curiosity.
Eliza: well thats interesting parasites usually appear in biological ways but your just popped out of thin air tell me something what is your name boy?
Max: like stupid enough to tell you my name.
Eliza: you really aren't any fun.
Eliza then shot out blood tendrils at max and squigly who was caught by surprise.
But leviathan burned it away with his fire as for max he simply used his black make four separate arms with bladed tip to cut the tendrils at blinding speeds.
Squigly who backed up saw that cerebella was gonna attack max from behind leviathan wrapped his tail around squigly's arm and threw it catching cerebella.
Leviathan: get over here!
With a minor distraction out of the way max rushed at Eliza who was surprised at his speed but she bearly dodge Max's attack she used made wings and backed up but max used his black arms to catch her but albus and horace pushed Eliza out of the way they thought max would pull them toward him but instead max whipped his arm around using them as like a battering ram and the result was destructive.
And the result was that Eliza had cuts and bruses but her surprise was that her two best bodyguards were easily killed by a single boy but she could tell it wasn't from blunt force they look like there bodies were drain of all life like she does with her victims.
She then realized that this boy was more dangerous that she thought his speed and those black arms are not normal and she could tell that he wasn't trying if anything if he really wanted to kill her he would have done it but he is just toying with her and that made her mad.
Eliza turned in sekhmeth she had massive defense in this form but any damage she takes it will remain but it was worth it to teach this punk a lesson.
Max noticed that Eliza was faster in this format but he sensed that she in not that strong enough to be a threat to him even if Eliza has the ability to morph her body it doesn't stop max from damaging her soul.
Eliza got close to him and made a scythe to cut him but he used his to cut the scythe and max compressed spiritual energy in his arm and he punched Eliza in the chest damaging her.
This is the first time sekhmeth's defense was broken and Eliza felt a Massive amount of pain in her chest and she was blown away black into were her organic body was being held. She crashed into a wall and when she tried to get up her body felt pain and she cough out somebody she felt her instincts kick in and she saw the boy was about to cut off her head.
She can't die like this not to some brat she saw squigly and cerebella fighting and she turned her arm into a snake wrapped it around cerebella and pulled her to get in front of him.
Cerebella didn't know what happened one moment she was fighting the zombie girl and then the next second she felt her stomach being cut and she saw that the guy they were trying to kill looked surprised at this.
She was dropped to the ground and Eliza turned her legs into a snake's tail and slided away max didn't have time to chase her because he accidentally criticality injured someone sure she was hired to kill him but he can sense that she at least has a somewhat of a good side max quickly got out his black arms and wrapped around cerebella to heal her stomach he heard squigly running beside him.
Squigly: oh my goodness what happened?
Max: that bitch used her as a meat shield to save herself and escape I can catch her but the fact that I killed this girl is gonna haught me.
Leviathan: can you heal her?
Max: I can but some of her wound is critical at most I will have to wrap my black arms around her for a 4 days.
Squigly: why so 4 days can't you just do it like how you did it to me.
Max: your body has dead cells I just jumped started them and they are constantly healing your body if it was you I hit you would been fine but she has working cells so her healing her will take time.
Leviathan: that leech was desperate to escape you must have scared her badly.
Max: just because someone can morph there bodies it doesn't mean I can damage the soul so the next time I see her I will cut her head off.
Squigly: we need to get somewhere so she can be attended do you-
FREEZE!!
max and squigly turned to see egert soldiers aiming weapons at both of them squigly was surprised but max wasn't he figured that the ruckus will get there attention and he felt a bunch of presences getting close and they came just in time.
Parasoul walked in front and she saw the boy and an undead girl she was surprised at this because only the skullgirl can control the dead and the fact that this undead girl is walking mean that either this boy has similar powers to the skullgirl or he is something else whatever the case she will find out.
Parasoul: it's you again what are you doing here and more importantly why is an undead alive?
Max: can we cut the questions for later look I'll come with you and answer you question but right now this girl needs medical attention.
Parasoul looked at the girl wrapped in a black mist that had a green light but she recognized her as cerebella one of the medichi.
Parasoul: are you with the medichi? Because you are you are an enemy to me.
Max: I'm not.. her partner used her as a meat shield and I accidentally cut her in the stomach and the wound is severe.
Parasoul: if you are not with the medichi then why would you help this girl?
Max: because the fact that I killed someone that has some good in her will haunt me.
Parasoul didn't know what to say but this is her chance to know who this boy is so reluctantly she told her troops to get cerebella to get treatment.
Parasoul: I don't like having a medichi in my care but I need answer on who you are.
Max: like I said when we get to a place that isn't a gravesite I will talk.
Parasoul then looked at Squigly who was left out the conversation.
Parasoul: what about her can you control the dead like the skullgirl?
Max: no she has free will of her own and she is no gonna do anything.
Parasoul was skeptical about this undead girl but she keeped her mouth shut.
Parasoul: there a car where we can Talk and I guess she can join in if she wants.
Squigly: I feel hostility coming from her.
Max: funny because everyone in this world has hostility toward each other.
Max and squigly followed parasoul towards her car and parasoul is relieved that she is gonna get some answers on who is this boy.
