Chapter 33
Floyd got throw on the floor of the mirror chamber with open wounds on his now human naked body, Roxana approached him and healed him before she threw clothes at him, Floyd grabbed them but still glared at the woman.
“I was nice enough to force you to drink that potion, I could have left you to die from the lack of oxygen you know” Roxana said. “Don’t give me that look, your brother is fine, I already gave the antidote to Crewel.
“Sill doesn’t excuse what you did to him” Floyd growled.
“It’s not my fault no one asked about details, so you only have yourself to blame” Roxana glared at him. “Now get up, by now Leona must have turned Azul’s contracts to dust”
“What…”
“Oh” Roxana smirked. “You didn’t really think that I wouldn’t make that little octopus suffer did you ? So what better than destroy his hard work”
Floyd didn’t say anything, he just put the clothes on and run to Octavinelle dorm.
*Octavinelle Dorm*
“You there—give me your lightning magic! And you, give me your athletic ability! Give it all to me! All of it!” Azul said with a crazy look on his face as he absorbed the magic of a Scarabia Student.
“AAAH!”
Ruggie hid behind a wall beside Leona. “What's Azul sucking outta these people?! They're all collapsing after he's done with 'em!”
“Looks like his signature spell sucks EVERY power out of someone if it's not channeled through a contract.” Leona said. “I'm betting the contract is like a filter that limits his magic's effects.”
Ruggie looked at him with a bit of panic. “What?! Kinda terrifying, don't cha think?”
Leona frowned. “Yeah. The backlash from using taboo magic like that is gonna exceed his blot tolerance in no time.”
Floyd arrived and grimaced at what he saw. “Whoa, yikes. What's going' on here?”
Ace and Deuce appeared behind him
“Dude, this does NOT look good!” Ace said.
“Is Azul going out of control?!” Deuce asked.
“Looks like he's sucking different students' powers outta them by force.” Jack said as he observed Azul.
Roxana appeared in a ‘crack’. “Another overblot, this is starting to become a tradition honestly”
Grim pointed at Leona. “Eeep... Leona! You were bullying' him, weren't you?!”
Leona glared at him. “Now you're blaming me? You're the ones who told me to turn the contracts into sand.”
“Floyd! Ahhh, you've finally come back to me. Would you believe that thanks to these FOOLS, I've lost all of my contracts?” Azul lamented. “Which is why I'm going to need your powers now. Come on, give them to me!”
Floyd gave him a bored look. “Y'know, Azul, I never saw you as lame before. But now? The way you're actin' is pretty lame.”
Azul tilted his head. “Oooh, is that a fact? I'm just a silly little octo-twerp who can't do anything on his own. That's why I'm going to take everyone's powers. I will rise above your perceptions. A beautiful singing voice! Powerful magics! All of it, MINE! Hand it all over at once!”
“What's all that black gunk dripping' outta Azul? That...ain't ink, is it?”
“What is going on here !”
Everyone turned to see Jade, Floyd’s eyes were full of joy now.
“Jade !” Floyd hugged his brother.
“What is Azul doing ? What happened while I was away ? If he's using his signature spell too much. The blot is exceeding his cumulative tolerance! If he doesn't stop...he's going to overblot!” Jade said.
“AAAH HAH HA! AAAAAH HAHAHA!” Azul laughed like a mad man as he overbloted.
Roxana sighed. “I can smell the tragic back story from here, oh well, let me end this once and for all”
“Myah! His legs turned into octopus tentacles!” Grim said.
“That's Azul's underwater form.” Jade said.
“What's that behind him? It's so big, I couldn't squeeze it if I tried!” Floyd said while pointing at the blot monster.
“Focus on getting Azul back to his senses for now.” Leona said.
Ruggie nodded. “Yeah, otherwise we're gonna get the sea anemone treatment ourselves! This remind me when you overbloted and Roxana dropped a giant sword on you”
Jade and Floyd looked at him. “She did what ?”
“Story for another time !” Ruggie dodged to the left.
Roxana rolled away from the tentacle that tried to grab her. “Ugh, I prefer to eat tentacles not for them to eat me”
Ace gave her a look. “That came out wrong on so many levels”
Roxana gave him and annoyed look before she threw a bombarda at Azul.
“AAAAH ! Stop bullying me !” Azul threw a spell at Roxana who redirected it at him with her shield.
“Hey !” Floyd pouted. “That copying !”
Ace got hit by a tentacle. “Ugh !”
Roxana threw a blasting curse at Azul who got thrown at the other side from the blot monster and she ended the monster with a bombarda aimed to it glass head.
“You all just keep bullying me!” Azul cried. “Is it because I'm a slow, dimwitted octopus? All I wanted was the power to get back at my bullies...I... I just wanted to...”
Azul fainted, Jade and Floyd run up to where he was on the floor
“You could have just told us that you didn’t need us you know” Leona said to Roxana.
“It was good exercise for you, if helped you burn some calories thank me” Roxana joked.
Leona sighed. “I hate you”
“No you don’t” Roxana walked up to Azul. “Alright let’s see”
A quick legilimency gave her the answer she seeks.
Roxana sighed as she massaged her temple. “Bullies are the worst…”
