Rewriting Fate with My Apex War Goddess (by Ezekiel Valor) novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6 A Pair of Golden Eyes!

Inside Bianca’s house.

Steven lay unconscious on the bed, his face pale as paper.

*Finished

Beside the bed sat a young woman dressed in black robes, both of her hands glowing with a soft emerald light.

Each of her arms bore a glowing leaf–shaped sigil, with a third one shining at the center of her forehead.

That alone proved she was a Three–Sigil Divine Adept!

Bianca sat nearby, still weak herself, but her eyes never left Steven for even a second.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with worry and tenderness.

If Steven hadn’t been there tonight, she didn’t even dare imagine what kind of nightmare awaited her and her mother.

Steven had risked his life for her. She felt like she owed him far too much. Without him, she would already be dead.

Finally, the black–robed woman withdrew her Divine Sigils, and the green light slowly faded

away.

Sweat covered her forehead as she let out a long breath.

“He’s stable for now. Luckily, the wound missed anything vital. With some rest, he should recover.”

Looking at the scabbed–over wound on Steven’s shoulder, the massive weight crushing Bianca’s chest finally eased.

“Thank you… Thank you so much!”

The woman shook her head. “No need. This was our mistake. Those two Bloodfang Rats should never have escaped.”

A trace of guilt flashed through Darlene Reese’s eyes as she glanced toward the body near the doorway, covered by a sheet.

Vanessa sat slumped beside it.

The body underneath the cloth was Howard.

Howard was really dead.

Bianca glanced over as well, bitterness rising inside her.

The man who’d done nothing but hurt her and her mother… was gone just like that.

Everything had happened too suddenly.

And yet Bianca realized she didn’t feel much grief. After all, she’d never once received love from that man.

Ever since she was old enough to remember, all he ever did was drink, gamble, and beat her mother.

Bianca slowly pulled her gaze away and looked back at Steven, lying on the bed.

That face had already carved itself deep into her heart, No matter what happened, she knew she would never forget it.

Soon, Peter returned.

“Darlene, how’s the kid doing?”

Darlene replied, “His injuries are stabilized. The rest depends on his own recovery.”

Then she asked curiously, “Did this kid really kill that Bloodfang Rat himself?”

Peter glanced toward Bianca. “Looks like it.”

Bianca’s eyes turned red again as she answered softly, “He did.”

Darlene could barely believe it.

“You’re both still students at an Awakened high school, right?”

Bianca nodded. “We go to Aethercrest Awakened High.”

Darlene inhaled sharply.

A high school student who hadn’t even awakened a Divine Sigil yet had managed to kill a level 1 Bloodfang Rat.

Who would believe something like that if word got out?

Peter crossed his arms and said, “The kid’s got talent. If he awakens a Divine Sigil later on, maybe we can recruit him into our squad someday.”

Darlene nodded in agreement.

Then she looked toward Bianca. “I’m sorry about what happened tonight. It was our fault. About your father…”

Bianca shook her head. “He brought it on himself. He’s a drunk who couldn’t even fight back. This isn’t your fault.”

Peter and Darlene both froze briefly at those words.

Looks like the family situation was complicated.

Peter sighed and pulled out a blood–red crystal about the size of an egg.

“This is the beast crystal from the Bloodfang Rat he killed. It belongs to him. Once he wakes up, please give it to him.”

Bianca accepted it quietly without saying anything.

Peter and Darlene turned and walked out of the house.

They saw Vanessa still sitting on the floor in a daze, tears streaming down her face.

Peter spoke gently. “We already contacted the crematorium for you. They’ll come tomorrow morning to take your husband away. Please accept our condolences.”

Vanessa gave no response. Her eyes were hollow and unfocused.

The man who had tormented her for over ten years was finally dead.

No matter how terribly he’d treated her, part of her still grieved for him at this moment.

But there was nothing she could do.

In this world, tragedies like this weren’t uncommon anymore.

Everything was handled as simply as possible.

People had long since grown used to it.

Peter and Darlene said nothing more and soon left to regroup with the rest of their squad.

The house fell into dead silence. Bianca sat there blankly, clutching the beast crystal tightly in her hands.

Meanwhile, Steven seemed trapped inside a dream.
