Chapter 68: Kill For Him
KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!
She had to kill him! She has to kill him before she loses control! The QUEEN could feel something inside her mind! There was someone there trying to gain control of her body! She had to kill this annoying human before she loses this body!
Stop.
KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!
No! Don't kill him! Don't kill Mark!
Mark!? Kill Mark! KILL MARK! KILL MARK! KILL MARK!
STOP!!
Mark had managed to dodge most of the attacks from the QUEEN, but he was not able to come out unscathed from her attacks as there were numerous slashes and cuts on his body. They weren't deep because of how durable he was, but that didn't mean he wasn't losing blood. He was bleeding from many of the cuts on his body, but that didn't matter to him.
He could see something changing in the QUEEN. Her eyes were constantly flashing, and it was obvious that there was an internal battle going on. Mark was sure that Arit was in there. A wicked grin stretched across Mark's face.
"Come on, Arit. Don't you dare lose to something like this! You still haven't given me that damn lap pillow you promised me! I haven't even touched your boobs yet!"
The QUEEN screeched louder as she immediately tried to slash through Mark's neck, but Mark stepped into her space and immediately grabbed her in a bear hug that trapped one of her hands on her body. She immediately started to slash across Mark's back with her other hand.
KILL MARK! KILL MARK! KILL MARK! KILL MARK!
No. Don't kill Mark. For Mark. Mark is everything.
KILL….! KILL…! KILL FOR MARK! KILL FOR MARK! KILL FOR MARK!
"Kill for Mark…! Kill for…"
Mark smiled as he noticed that the QUEEN was no longer struggling in his grip. She slowly calmed down, and he no longer felt her claws digging into his back. Her wings and antennae slowly began to deteriorate and shrink until they disappeared, and her skin changed from purple to Arit's fair white skin.
"M-Mark… *sniff* I'm sorry, Mark. I'm sorryyy~! Waaaa~!"
Arit's voice echoed through the cave as she started to cry desperately, and Mark just breathed out a sigh of relief as he held her tighter.
"It's fine, Arit. We're fine now."
Ping!

…
Mark read through all of the new messages from his system and he was shocked when he saw that there was a hidden mission that he successfully completed! This system was lying to him before! It knew that Arit could be separated, but it didn't want to tell him about it because it was a hidden mission that he had to complete on his own.
Mark was pissed at the system, but he just took a deep breath and sighed to release all that anger at once. He didn't need to be angry since everything worked out for the better.
Mark would not have killed Arit no matter what. If this didn't work, then he would have captured her and just taken her with him back to the city like this. He would have found another way to get her back to normal even if it took him years to do it.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry~!!"
Arit was holding onto Mark tightly as she continued to apologize, and Mark wondered what the hell she was apologizing for. If anything, he was the one who needed to apologize for getting her mixed up in all this. It was only because they wanted to get to him that they took Arit and did all this to her. If they weren't after him, then Arit would have been fine.
Mark quickly activated his new skill [True Sight] to get a look at Arit's stats and skills, and he was not surprised when he saw that her race was affected by the metamorphosis. She was no longer a human now and it was showing that she was a hybrid. But the thing that really surprised him was her rank. He knew that Arit would be strong, but he didn't think that she would be this strong.
…
Name: Arit Clayborn
Race: Human-Anima Hybrid
Title: QUEEN
Rank: S
Potential: ???
Skill: ???
Description: ???
Affiliation: Chaotic Neutral
…
Her Rank was at S and Mark narrowed his eyes as he saw the title that the system gave her. The title of QUEEN was highlighted, but Mark had no idea if it would have any effects on Arit or not. Mark knew that the QUEEN was not dead; all he did was bring Arit back to the surface, so the QUEEN could come back at any time and try to take over Arit's mind again.
But the thing that really got his attention was the last stat on her tab. Her affiliation was Chaotic Neutral and Mark didn't know how to feel about that. This single tab showed that there were still residual effects from QUEEN that were affecting Arit. Mark then opened his own system tab to get a look at it.
