Chapter 21: Young Fanna
Dark lights shrouded the sky. Explosions are everywhere and that cannot make anyone who is not asleep.
"Sigh internet is going mad, some of them have lost connection already, and some don't care about it. Were they doing the right thing? Doing nothing?"
Fanna had her arms crossed on her chin, thinking.
"The All system is demonic, making a promise that anyone could choose spirits as long as they are immunized, but taking it back once many people have already lost their lives. Tomorrow, we will be sent to clear the zombies in the surrounding area.
"The system said that the numbers of zombies all around the world are perhaps around seventy billion, while the number of zombies is around 7 billion and 1. 5 billion are immune to those that awakened their spirits just like we are only 700 million."
Fanna furrowed her brow and clenched her fist.
"This is getting problematic. I wonder what Crocus is doing there? From what I know about him, if the immunity serum was spread to the whole territory, he wouldn't go to a place like that. Unlikely for him to become a scientist too, he is not that energetic to do it too.
"Can he do it? I wonder if he could do it... Sigh... Something is wrong with me. I'm not someone to think of that guy. "
After a couple of minutes of pondering, Fanna looked at her arms and made a magic charge at the tip of her fingers.
"I have awakened a Zoan Spirit called Winged Dragon of my family guardian spirit with seven magic types. I thought it was something else like leopards and other kinds of creatures.
"In all the system information. Zoan Spirit is one of the three Spirit types. This type allows a user to transform into an animal species at will, or an inter-species hybrid by making the owner flow the magic inside their body to transform into that chosen spirit beast. Zoan is said to carry wills of their own even when not owned, but Elite Family like me Family usually has this to pass from generation to generation."
Suddenly, Fanna's right arm transformed into a scaly reptilian arm.
"The first form of the Zoan Spirit. The Fragment beast form, this part of me would be three times stronger than the original form of my body, with seven magic types which are Wind, Flame, Virus, Poison, Virus, Steel and Dragon."
Fanna stared intently at her draconic claw.
"I can use this with a limit and those who are not in elite Family can also use this Fragment beast form to protect themselves."
Woosh!
Fanna was about to transform into something else when out of nowhere...
''Finally, I've been waiting for you to use your magic.''
Said a mature woman's voice to Fanna's ear. This made Fanna's hair at the back of her head stand up.
''Who... Who are you!?''
She replied with caution and a high amount of uneasiness within.
''I- I- am just an old woman who wants to make things right.''
The voice of the mature woman stutters as she sounds very suspicious.
''What do you mean by that!? Where are you? How are you doing this?''
Yells by Fanna with a little confused and twisted expression.
"What's going on Fanna?"
A voice of an old woman from the outside. Fanna's guardian.
"Eh!?... It's nothing, Aunt Hilda."
Replied Fanna with a little panic in her little voice.
"I am from the future... I came here to fix things that can be done to avoid trouble."
Said the voice of the mature woman. Making Fanna even more nervous.
"Sh... What are you doing!? What about the future? How am I supposed to believe that!?"
The mature woman's voice did not answer. Making Fanna's anxiety worse.
"Hey..."
Silence.
Fanna became a little furious. She was about to shout once again when...
"What date is it? And what time?"
Asked the mature woman. Fanna did not answer immediately. She took a deep breath, deciding what to do in this situation.
"It's day **** month **** and year ****"
She ultimately answered. Owning her decision whatever was this voice of a mature woman is true or not.
"No!!! Wait... No!!! It's too late!"
Said the mature woman with a hint of panic and despair.
"What- what- what's going to happen!? To my mom!? What!?"
Fanna had her breath sped up, sweat trickled as she heard her Aunt's guardian come inside.
"What's going on, my lady?"
'What!? Why did she enter? I became too loud.' Fanna thought as the guardian worriedly looked at her.
"No- Nothing."
Fanna replied to her Aunt's guardian.
"Are you sure, my lady?"
Aunt's guardian asked while. observing everything in the room if something is suspicious.
"Yes- yes... Don't worry about me, Aunt Hilda."
Aunt Hilda checked everything for one last look.
"I see. I better get going, my lady."
Soon she left the room and stood near Fanna's room.
"Don't tell me Crocus called? Did he confess? Did he say he loved you? Did he say someone called him saying it's you in a different number?"
The mature woman was back again. The sound of guilt and worry was in her tone like there was something between him and Crocus Phereon.
"No... He didn't do that? Wait... What about mother?"
Fanna answered and asked...
"M- *cough* your mother will have a disease. She will die once it's not treated. It's a disease called Funhama disease that turns people into a living mushroom grower. The spore is also dangerous and may also affect others, causing a pandemic if not prevented."
This comment made Fanna's body chill all over her body.
"Se- Se- Seriously?"
Fanna asks while trembling. In this world, her mother is her reverse scale and not her father who loves his position too much and sleeps a lot with girls.
"Yes, I know that on this day, her symptoms would start showing by having small fungi mushrooms at her armpit. The only way to prevent this is to k... Kill her or find the anomaly fungi, dragon girl."
As explained by the mature woman, she is a little tense when she is saying the part about killing Fanna's mother made Fanna's breathing increase.
"I... I- it's true mother has something like that, but killing her is... Is... Off-limits."
Fanna stutters, as she can't filter out what is happening.
"I know... I know... You know that there are four types of magic spirit users, right?"
Asks the mature woman.
"Yes... It's Warlock, Primordial, Zoan, and anomaly spirit users."
Fanna answered obediently. She wanted to know how to cure her mother, so her tone changed. She knew it was her biggest weakness and knew that it would be a problem in the future, but she didn't have a choice. Her mind is only occupied with how to cure her mother.
The mature woman noticed it too.
"Sigh... That girl we are searching for finds your mother is an anomaly. A combination of Zoan and Primordial spirit users. It's too late, we need to go there... And Crocus hehe... I hope to save him too, but it's too late... The girl- she would die too..."
