‘So, this divine creep referred to as the Eye is behind these dangerous guys referred to as the Arm?’ Alex contemplated, resisting the urge to ask Kain about different physique elements concerned of their organisation. However he barely held again his impulse understanding that it wasn’t the precise time to impress him.

“Ah! I see it now! You are the darkish hand pulling the strings, controlling everybody! Arm, Hand. Tomato, Tomahto. Identical, identical!” Sadly, the phrases that escaped his mouth weren’t any higher.

Kain felt as if Alex was mocking him, his eyes narrowing with anger as he mounted his gaze upon him.

“Do you dare to mock us?” Anger lastly surfaced on his once-smiling face.

However the subsequent second, his expression reworked like a chameleon altering colors. He resumed his smiling facade.

“It would not matter. Your dying is definite. I needn’t waste my breath on you,” he casually remarked.

“Coward within the white gown, do you dare to disclose your self? You’ve got already laid eyes upon my face. You’ve got seen who we’re and know our intentions. It is inconsequential now, is not it?” Kain proclaimed.

He too was desperate to uncover the id of the white-robed man standing earlier than him. The latest actions of this particular person had inflicted a considerable blow to their organisation. If Kain may uncover his true id and eradicate him, he was assured it could bolster his standing inside the group.

“Why ought to I present my face and disclose my id? It is clear what your intentions are. If my true id have been uncovered, your organisation would relentlessly hunt me down. That will hardly be beneficial for my well-being,” Alex countered.

“Solely a idiot would reveal his id to his enemy.” He added on. 

The robotic, mocking tone of Alex was the ultimate set off that shattered Kain’s endurance. Alex had audaciously labelled him, one of the vital completed scientists of the Arm, a idiot. This assault on his intelligence dealt a extreme blow to his ego. He refused to permit some commoner to query his mind.

“*Smile*” Kain sneered in response. “I’ll discover out your id out of your lifeless physique. As soon as I confirm who you might be, I will not hesitate to pay a go to to everybody you maintain expensive and declare their lives.” With a sinister smile, he retrieved a pitch-black workers from his again.

“That is the day you die, white-robed man,” Kain declared, unleashing an immense burst of mana from his workers.

However to Alex’s shock, nothing occurred. Regardless of the discharge of mana, no spell materialised, and the fast environment remained unaffected.

Confusion gripped Alex as he scanned his environment, trying to find any indicators of a doable sneak assault from Kain.

“You needn’t go searching like that. Loss of life is closing in on you quicker than you may comprehend,” Kain taunted, and in that very second, vague figures materialised inside Alex’s mana imaginative and prescient.

What he noticed was one thing he had by no means wished to witness.

The blurry figures that he noticed together with his mana imaginative and prescient have been three monsters. They appeared behind Kain and stood with out shifting an inch. All of them have been being managed by Kain. 

Each was smaller when in comparison with the second-generation mutants he confronted. Though they have been as large as him, they have been nonetheless small while you examine them to the monsters he had come throughout beforehand. 

Regardless of their transformation, the monsters retained some semblance of humanity, albeit diminished. Their appearances weren’t as monstrously distorted because the creatures Alex had encountered earlier than.

Their faces remained in a state of half-transformation, exhibiting a grotesque and unsettling visage.

Alex shortly realised that they have been youngsters. All of them held the signature worm-like object inside their physique.

“These two are my failed experiments.” He mentioned whereas pointing at two monsters within the entrance.

“They’re mutants made by the arms of yours really. Battle them and show your power. Then you may battle in opposition to him.” He mentioned whereas slowly patting one of many monsters with a nefarious smile.

Shortly, Alex’s imaginative and prescient targeted on the face of the monster that was closest to Kain.

It was a well-recognized face. 

It was the identical youngster he wished to desperately save. 

He may really feel his mana radiating from the monster’s physique. There was no extra doubt inside his thoughts. The kid had became a monster.

With a heavy coronary heart, Alex realised that his promise to the kid had been irreparably shattered. He had pledged to avoid wasting each the kid and their father, to supply them with an opportunity to flee the clutches of the evil organisation.

Nonetheless, he realised that he had failed.

“The 2 earlier than you aren’t as much as my requirements. They aren’t sensible sufficient to grasp complicated directions. Their low intelligence would outcome of their mana working rampant and eventually dying.” He mentioned with out an oz of regret. 

The monsters earlier than him have been children not older than ten, simply the just like the son of the road vendor. Nonetheless, Kain seen them as nothing greater than experimental topics.

To Kain, their lives held no price past serving as mere devices for his mental pursuits.

“Earlier than they meet their demise, permit me to witness their full glory,” Kain remarked, opting to imagine the position of a mere observer within the imminent battle.

Nonetheless, Alex could not hear a single phrase Kain was saying. The guilt he felt for not with the ability to save the kid had already swallowed him. 

He felt his coronary heart break excited about the pitiful youngster who trusted him together with his life. If he had taken another motion, may he have saved the kid? The nagging thought was drilling into his thoughts each second.

“What are you ready for? You may eat him,” Kain ordered the 2 monsters within the entrance to assault Alex.

“SWISH” They leapt ahead within the dimly lit room. Precisely hitting Alex.

“BOOOM!” He was despatched backwards like a cannonball. The loud noise of crashing into the wall behind reverberated by means of the underground room. 

This woke Alex out of his ideas.

“BOOM” Earlier than he may reply, one other punch from the following monster caved into the wall. A brand new room was revealed behind Alex.

Punch after punch, one after one other rained down on Alex as he defended whereas strengthening his physique with mana.

‘The monsters are weaker than I anticipated. Their power is just like tier 3 warriors.’ Alex concluded. 

As a consequence of him not too long ago breaking by means of to tier 4, he was not anxious about them. Nonetheless, he needed to dodge bodily assaults as a lot as he can to preserve vitality.

As a substitute of killing them, this time, his mind was looking for any doable strategy to save them.

The monsters earlier than him have been children. They did not willingly flip right into a monster just like the others he encountered. He wished to avoid wasting them if he can.

So, he noticed their our bodies with mana imaginative and prescient. 

The worms inside their our bodies served as a conduit, offering an immense surge of mana to gasoline their bodily enhancements. Nonetheless, this extreme mana was concurrently wreaking havoc on their frail our bodies.

Somewhat than witnessing indicators of pleasure as a result of their immense power, Alex may solely observe the grimaces of agony etched upon the faces of those reworked monsters.

He all of a sudden realised the kids’s consciousness didn’t fully erode once they became a monster. 

‘The parasite of their physique has but to fully take over the kids’s consciousness.’

‘Possibly that’s the reason why they are often managed. It was simpler to regulate the kids than the monster. It may additionally be the explanation why they’re exhibiting expressions, in contrast to the faceless monsters I noticed earlier than.’ Alex concluded.

‘If they’ve but to totally remodel, is there a strategy to reverse the impact of transformation?’

Nonetheless, Alex’s ideas have been shortly stopped by the realisation that the decay price of the monsters’ our bodies are rising by the second.

Painful wails greeted his ears as he purchased him time to suppose.

The 2 youngsters earlier than him have been about to fully flip into senseless monsters. If the battle continued, there can be no strategy to revert to their authentic situation even when he may kill the worm inside them. 

The state of affairs was getting worse by the second. He was left with just one determined possibility.

Out of the blue, the mana he stuffed inside the cardboard that he left on the road vendor’s son’s physique activated. It shortly coated all the physique of the monster in his mana. Earlier than Kain may react, Alex mentioned one thing beneath his breath.

‘Farm, activate pet operate.’

‘Assign the organism I chosen with mana as a pet.’ He declared beneath his breath. He did not know if it could work. However that was the one possibility left for Alex to attempt.

He did not know every other strategy to save the kid. If his plan labored, he may save the opposite children too. 

[“Ding”]

The sudden sound of a notification from the interdimensional farm greeted his ear. 

[“Data shard found.”]

[“A variant DNA structure of a life form with a life rating above 1 is present in the surrounding. The user is advised to analyse it.”]

[“Autherising live capture using pet function.”]

[“Capturing and teleporting the pet into the farm.”]

Out of the blue, the monster that occupied the place close to Kain was transported into the interdimensional farm. 

[“Elevating user access.”]

[“Now, the user can transport live entity to and from the farm if the user can completely cover the entity completely in mana. Ten slots unlocked for pets.”]

[“User privilege increased.”]

[“All current functions in use.”]

[“Deploying the second phase of the interdimensional farm.”]

A torrent of notifications greeted Alex.
