[You have killed a mortal with an E-grade gene.]
[Do you wish to devour its life essence?]
He decided with no hesitation,
"Yes..."
[Please place your hand on your victim's forehead to absorb Life Essence.]
Zeras walked towards the man, and he placed his palm on his forehead.
He could feel it slightly cold to the touch, but he ignored that and remained in contact for about three seconds.
A puzzled expression appeared on his face when he felt no change at all, making him doubt the system slightly, but in the next second, a white mist emanated from the corpse, entering Zeras through his fingers.
He felt invigorated, like having just taken the best cold shower of his life, and also sensed something within him increasing, though he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
[Congratulations, Host has successfully absorbed Life Essence.]
[Rewards: +5 energy points]
[Total Energy: 35/35]
[Side quests have been achieved: Use Chaos Devour ]
[+10 EXP]
[Exp: 10/100]
A big smile appeared on his face as he saw his energy point increase by five, while he even gained 10 EXP.
"This is no dream. This is real..."
He confirmed, hand clenching into his fist, and then he turned towards the man and began to take off his clothes.
Five minutes later...
A figure dressed in long dark overalls could be seen standing in front of a gate, a face cap under the hood covering the upper part of his face.
He resembled the man who threw Zeras into the abyss before, except that this wasn't the man but Zeras himself.
Zeras slowly dusted the clothes off as he stared at the new garment he was dressed in.
Of course, he knew he couldn't just waltz around in the base like this, or he would be captured and experimented on once more, and probably die a second, even crueler death.
To ensure a smoother mission, he had decided the best way to go was to look like he belonged, hence impersonating the man.
Now he was no longer Zeras, but the man responsible for disposing of the bodies of experimental subjects.
He bent down to the now naked corpse, feeling a hard object in his underwear.
||A/N: Don't worry. He's not gay.||
Bringing it out, it was a small dagger, the size of a knife.
Its hilt was a dark red color, while its edges were jagged and gleamed coldly in the darkness.
It seems the man was not completely confident of the base and was also prepared for an ambush anytime, or he wouldn't be keeping a dagger.
Unfortunately for him, he got ambushed and killed before he could even make use of it.
Zeras sto...kept it for himself, then continued his search.
Apart from a dark-colored watch, there was nothing on the corpse anymore, except, of course, his underwear.
He didn't go that far.
Done with the man, he moved to the black bag and opened it.
What he saw made him yank back in shock.
Within the bag was a revealing a badly mutilated corpse of a girl, about 10 years of age.
Both her hands have been severed, and her leg swelled up like an inflated balloon.
Only a scanty amount of blue hair was on her head, and her face was badly disfigured, with blood oozing out of both eyes.
CREAAAK!
His teeth were tightly clenched in anger, the thought of killing these mad people growing stronger within him.
But the creaking soon paused, as his eyes became emotionless.
Falling prey to anger would end up having him make rash moves that would only certify him being the next one in the bag.
"Huuuuuu"
Exhaling loudly, his gaze slowly became calm once again as he threw down the girl's corpse below and zipped the bag.
He kicked the man with all his strength, causing the body to disappear into the distance, slamming into the wall before sliding off it into the abyss below.
Zeras stared at the watch and saw a digital map on it.
Some parts of it contained blue dots, which he guessed were labs that needed experimental subjects to be disposed of, while some parts were crossed red, showing it was off-limits to the man, and the name of the place was even given.
He fastened the watch to his right wrist while carrying the bag in his left hand.
With the map of the base in his hands and the enemy not knowing of his existence, he could begin his operation without invoking any suspicion... at least for now.
Impersonating the figure, Zeras immediately moved towards the gate, and it automatically opened.
Stepping into the white light, he dragged the face cap over his face and walked down the corridor.
Now his mission to destroy the base has begun.
His target?
Lab 4C.
The Beast Testing Lab.
