Chapter 97 Miaomiao's Awakening Ability (10,000 Words for Monthly Vote!)_3

Then she looked at the matchbox placed on the table.

With a single thought,

the matchbox sprouted two tiny pitch-black legs and arms and abruptly lept up.

It then moved to the front of the table, lifted its lid, and pulled out a similarly black match, sliding it across its own body with a "schh~" sound.

Instantly, a tuft of black flame burst out.

It then lit the desk lamp, bowed to Miaomiao, and jumped back to its original position, retracting its limbs.

Staring at the black flame on the oil, Miaomiao was momentarily stunned.

'Do I really possess Awakening Abilities now?'

'Have I really become an Awakener?'

Miaomiao always felt as though she was dreaming.

She recalled the days when she had first met Mr. Devil.

It seemed that it was just under 10 days ago.

In just 10 days, she had transformed from a girl in the slums who needed protection from everybody, into an Awakener with magical abilities that she could only look up to before.

Not only did she have Miss Monster as her guard, but she was also helping Mr. Devil to manage a slum...

This radical change truly made Miaomiao wonder if she was dreaming.

After sitting quietly on the bed for a while, Miaomiao gathered her thoughts.

Then she straightened her clothes, opened the door, and walked along the silent, deserted streets.

Wherever she went, darkness spread, engulfing every nook and cranny, every house, every home...

Miaomiao closed her eyes, and all the details of the entire street were clear in her mind.

Then she opened her eyes and softly uttered, "Dark Soldiers, assemble."

In an instant, a shadow emerged from every strapping man along the street.

The shadows were identical to the men, yet they were devoid of expression and completely black.

This wasn't quite like any shadow warrior he knew.

Shouldn't shadow warriors be somewhat dumb and dazed?

Why does this one feel... a bit off!?

Especially when he saw that look she gave him, Fang Ze always felt... boys should protect themselves when they're outside.

Not to be seduced by a woman over minor favors...

So, he forcibly requested this new shadow warrior to return to his shadow and then he contacted Bai.

He remembered Bai once claimed to be a walking encyclopedia, knowing a great deal about Awakeners. So... he should have some knowledge about Disaster Creatures too, right?

He wanted to find out if there were shadow warriors in this world, what kinds they were, if there were any rankings or categories.

However, oddly enough, when Windbreeze Flower called, Bai did not answer for a long while.

Fang Ze was puzzled, but he had no choice but to end the call.

After that, under the grieving eyes of the new shadow warrior, he did an hour of squat-and-rise, and then he tried contacting Bai again.

This time, Bai picked up very quickly.

But as soon as the call connected, Fang Ze noticed some noise and chaos on the other end.

Since Windbreeze Flower couldn't peek at the surroundings without permission, he could only curiously ask, "Chief Bai Ling, what are you doing over there?"

Bai sounded a bit tense as he replied, "Fang Ze, we're preparing for a battle!"

"Preparing for battle?" Fang Ze was startled.

Bai nodded, then said seriously, "We've spotted traces of the Rejuvenation Society nearby. They are continuously gathering forces, and the numbers are substantial."

"It looks like they might launch an attack tonight."
