Arifin goes back inside the house through the back door. As he gets out of the hallway leading to the living room, he finds some people having a serious discussion.There’s also Mr. Natsir there with the others. And it seems like Mr. Natsir is now explaining something to them.His coming stops Mr. Natsir’s words midway. It attracts their attention. And clearly they see the frustration in Arifin’s face.“Professor! Did they take Grace too?” Arifin inquires impatiently.Prof. Irwan just nods weakly.“How? They shouldn’t be able to detect her?” continues Arifin.“Remember the guy you tried to kill earlier at the gate?” Henry interferes to steal Arifin’s attention.“That skinny man? What about him?”“Right before those mercenaries left, he pointed out about her when she was mingling with the other normal people.”“That damn fucker!” grumbles Arifin, clenching the fists with a mad face.It only makes his mind so chaotic. Either to help Grace or to kill that man, he has the same urge to do
Soon after they take the dead body out of Andini’s room, they bring Grace inside. Andini is so shocked, because this is the first time they bring a female in. “Hi!” Grace greets awkwardly. But Andini’s face only becomes even madder. Not only because it’s a female sacrifice, but also a young one that still looks so fresh as a teenager as her. “Are you out of your mind? Take her out of here!!” Those people just close the door without saying anything. Andini can’t approach the door, not wanting to get too close to the girl she just met. “Hey, what’s wrong?” asks Grace. Only then Andini notices that Grace is the girl next door who has been trying to invite her to a conversation. “You?” “Yes, I’m the girl from the next door. My name is Grace. What’s your name?” “You better not say anything anymore, and breathe as lowly as possible.” “Eh? Why?” Andini immediately turns away and covers his body with the blanket. Grace is just silent, not wanting to force her way too far. Oddly, af
In fact, Dr. Cohen is already inside that office. He deliberately talks in whispers not wanting Andini to hear him.He approaches Andini stealthy from behind by holding his breath. As soon as he gets closer, he opens his jaws like he is going to bite her from behind.His mouth even turns into the mouth of a bat. His canines grow longer like a bat’s canines. He bites Andini in the back of her neck, and holds her shoulder so that she does not retaliate.“Aakh!”Andini can only react shortly to the pain. Because soon, she is losing her ability to stay conscious.Dr. Cohen keeps the canines planted inside Andini’s flesh for a few moments. He sucks a bit of her blood, just a little for him to corrupt. Soon after that, he lets the blood get in the back and then lets her free.As soon as he finishes with his thing, Andini immediately regains her ability to move. She distances herself quite far away, and then curls up in one corner of the room.She is shaking in terror. One hand is holding bo
Not knowing any place to go, he just bets his luck asking those youngsters to accept him. And of course, he doesn’t expect that he would be able to act like someone with authority for this one.“Can I stay with you guys? In your place. I no longer have any place to go.”“Of course!” replies Andrew immediately as he puts his arm around Harun’s shoulder, and escorts him with so much respect. “Just adding one or two more people is still safe I guess, especially for someone like you.”The middle-aged man on the ground immediately pleads desperately. “Hey! If you want to leave, untie me first!”Hannah and Ronald look behind. But Andrew just keeps walking, escorting Prof. Harun to where he parked the truck.“Hey, Andrew! What are we going to do to this man?” asks Ronald.“You are already an adult. Don’t always ask me what to do for every single thing in your life,” replies Andrew.Ronald looks at Hannah. And their faces are slowly showered by excitement. They take those words as “do as you
With his current strength which has surpassed the maximum strength of a normal human, cutting one big guys’ hand is not a difficult feat for Arifin. It doesn’t matter if that hand is burning or not. Andrew falls off to the back, and is immediately caught by Ronald from behind. The big dude groans in pain with his powerful and low tone voice, but he can’t utter a word despite the fact he wants to curse so badly. He is chocked by the pain that he keeps spewing his saliva every time he tries to say something bad. “Man! You better use your burning hand to close the wound. Or else, you are going to die by blood loss,” says Ronald. Andrew’s face is so burning red. But oddly, he finds it hard to heat his left hand. The pain he feels is so unbearable that he can’t control himself that well. “I…, I can’t!” “It’s better for you to not close that wound yet,” says Arifin. It shakes those two’s attention. The next second they avert their attention back to Arifin, they find Arifin is holding
That one guard is still having trouble recovering his balance. Meanwhile, a woman's voice keeps giving orders from the communication device attached to his ear.[Don’t let them leave! We don’t want them to tell about this place to anyone else]“It’s not going to be easy to capture them,” replies the guard while holding the mic in his right cheek. “You should’ve already seen what that girl is capable of.”[Exterminate them!]The guard tries his best to get up. He looks up to the second floor balcony, and sees the two guards up there are already getting back to their feet, albeit by holding the fence.“Hey, get down here! We need to look for those kids!”Those two jumps down. But they immediately lose their balance as soon as they land. But the one guard who received
It’s a fuck-up situation. And he can’t make any decision about it, while he is already strayed away from his leader. It’s clear that this fat dude never does things by himself without Andrew’s instruction.Mike takes them directly to Arifin’s house. Just like any other day, if there’s any new people coming in, those people will have to meet with the one who has the authority first.“Yo! I bring you new friends here!” says Mike nonchalantly as a greeting to Arifin.Arifin then sees Hannah and Ronald’s awkward faces coming out of Mike’s car. And of course, his face is immediately contorted because of it.“New friends my ass? You’re just picking up garbage and bringing it home.”Mike's face is slightly wrinkled mixed with an amused expression at the outspoken response from Ari
Minda is still observing them. Until someone calls for her and shakes her attention.“Hey, what are you doing? Peeking someone?”Minda averts her attention, and it’s just Silvy who happens to stay in her house along with Cindy.She finds Silvy’s face looking a bit annoyed by something. She then averts her attention to another direction, and finds Cindy with Tony in the coffee shop.It’s clear that Cindy’s relationship with Silvy has gotten worse recently. And Cindy has never said a word to Silvy no matter how hard Silvy tried to apologize.For whatever reason, Minda always finds the obligation to reconcile those two. And right now, she also finds the need to help Hannah and Ronald to integrate and adapt with the life in that housing complex.She mistakes that they have been accepted by Ar
Meanwhile, in Westerpark. It’s a place that used to be a famous picturesque working-class neighborhood in Amsterdam. But it has been wrecked havoc by the alien monsters, and not so many people are still alive there right now. But there is still one beautiful mansion standing tall on one hill, with high concrete walls protecting that 2 hectares area. In fact, there’s only one family living in this area consisting of only four people. There is one underground lab right below that mansion. And there is one man in his white coat looking so desperate in front of his personal research book. “No, this is not what I want,” he cries slowly, grabbing his yellow hair in desperation. He leaves his desk, approaching one monitor which displays the work of his supercomputer in doing some kind of simulation. Not too far from that monitor, there is a unique wavy dagger with an asymmetrical shape being displayed in a glass case. That scientist only comes to observe the DNA splicing simulation being
Arifin also takes a glance at the other one who hasn’t done anything so far, which is Luis the lizard man. That man has grown his tail quite long, and no longer wears any pants at the moment. But his face is so pale, feeling intimidated by just Arifin’s gaze. Even right now, that man isn’t noticing that the bottom part of his body has turned into its beast form. He just turns by instinct, due to the danger he feels after watching how easily Arifin bullied Zaw Min. “So, you are going to turn into a cold-blooded reptile now?” asks Arifin as he prepares to handle that man, who used to be a hitman for the mafia. “But, what’s with that pitiful face?” “Ah?” Luis is shaken from his reverie, and only realizes that all the bottom part of his body has turned into the lizard legs and one big and long tail at his butt. “Well, I haven't had any big expectations from you since the beginning,” continues Arifin as he keeps walking intending to take his leave. At first, he did have an intention t
Those three are just the exact three men who betrayed Arifin in his previous life, especially Zaw Min and Jaidee. Just seeing their faces is already enough to provoke Arifin’s madness which helps him enter his Trance State.“Hey, Zaw Min!” calls Luis as he slowly turns his two hands into the shape of a lizard. “They said we only need to hold him down for an hour. We can’t kill him because the Colonel wants him so bad. Isn’t this an insult?”“Not really! I also want him to join us. You just don’t know what this man is capable of,” replies Zaw Min, who is currently looking so excited to see Arifin for the second time.“Cih! We can’t kill him, huh!” grumbles Jaidee with his annoyed face. “Then, let me handle him myself. It won’t be good if you accidentally kill him with your sabers.”“Stop bickering, you weak ass! Come anytime you want!” Arifin interferes by showing his mad face.Those words effectively make Jaidee so furious. He immediately demonstrates his skills in unarmed combat as a
He can’t simply tell that to Colonel Fermin. Because he doesn’t want to be seen as ridiculous any further.But then when he goes outside, he finds a few soldiers are lying on the ground. The situation becomes hectic as there are a few evil spirits infiltrating this medical area.Thankfully, those three shamans, even though they are not combatant-type of awakened people, they know some ways to repel those evil spirits. After all, they are not too many, since the corrupted aura that Arifin releases is somewhat weaker than usual.For the next two days, few dedemits and evil spirits keep coming during the night. Only in the next morning, Arifin is back to his consciousness.“Oh, you are awake?” One nurse approaches him and checks his condition.“Where am I?” asks Arifin as he tries to get up.But the nurse forces him to stay on the bed. “You've been unconscious for more than two days. You should just rest until you are completely recovered.”“Two days?” mumbles Arifin.He then checks his
Mike looks up, and sees Dr. Cohen hovering in the air in his beast form. And the one who just hurt Mike’s chest, Marcus, is currently perching on a branch.“That accent? An American?” asks Mike.“Yes, I’m an American,” replies Dr. Cohen nonchalantly.“Which means you are the people from the Defiance Atlantis,” Mike continues.“Hohohoo! You guess right for the second time. And guess what, our organization highly values beast-type awakened warriors like you. Why don't you join…”Mike doesn’t even let him finish his words. He jumps so quickly after running on the tree trunk, and catches Dr. Cohen off guard.“So fast,” mumbles Dr. Cohen as he holds Mike’s right hand who has stabbed his chest right on his heart.Mike makes a turn and throws Dr. Cohen to the ground. As he lands, three of Dr. Cohen’s men immediately cover their boss.“Javier, we have to buy time to let Dr. Cohen recuperate,” issues Roberto.Both Javier and Marcus intend to attack, but Mike just stands there by releasing a su
Right now, all the dedemits and evil spirits begin to look mad like before. However, they no longer hunt Arifin, but only the people who have been marked as the target.Some flesh tendrils also crawl to the building, and then pull so many female employees from the second floor, including Naomi.“Dr. Cohen, help me!”Roberto frees her and the other female employees by cutting all of those tendrils. But all of them who have been bitten, are now in the similar situation as Arifin. Their wounds are leaking the corrupted aura, which makes all those demonic creatures so eager to kill them.“Dr. Cohen! What should we do now?” asks Javier half-shouting. “We can’t stay here forever.”It’s not that hard for Javier to deal with the dedemits. But the evil spirit, he can’t even touch them until now. But those creatures have been stealing his life force every time he tries to hit them.There are some balloons made of viscous membrane popping out on that throbbing flesh. It then explodes like pus of
The kid then turns silent, waiting for Arifin to reply to his offer. He even draws his ear closer, as if provoking Arifin to plead.Arifin knows that the Grace she loves has already died in the future. And she admits that he hasn’t been that close with this current Grace either.They are still like strangers so far, and he never thought of getting close together with her like in his previous life. Because he doesn’t want to put her in a life full of danger.But he can’t just ignore her after knowing she is still alive. More than Andini, right now saving Grace is much more important to him. At least, to pay back what Grace did for him in his previous life.“Please,” he mumbles with a low voice.“What? I can’t hear you,” says the kid with a kind of childish manner.“Please, help me!”The kid chuckles again with an amused face. “Sadly, I’m just an illusion. There’s no way I can harm them. But that kris can. All you need to do is stab the kris to the ground, and tell the kris what you tru
Arifin looks so confused, mixed with desperation which starts to resurface in his eyes. Meanwhile, Dr. Cohen is just observing from above, grinning devilishly as he controls Andini’s mind and body.Oddly enough, the other four beast-type awakened soldiers are trying to make the dedemits busy with them, and prevent them from getting close to Arifin. But Javier, as he finds an opening with Arifin is still occupied by Andini’s oddity, slams Arifin’s from the side with his shoulder.>That last collision has left some cracks on two of Arifin’s ribs. He coughs up blood, and his physical condition is also dropping to 14 %.Dr. Cohen flies lower and starts persuading Arifin once more. It’s clear he really has great interest in Arifin and doesn’t want to kill him. He doesn’t care that much that all the facilities that Defiance Atlantis built for him in this place are destroyed, as long as he gets Arifin to join him.“Why? Why Arifin, why? Yo
Four floodlights have also fallen due to the chaos created by these unstoppable demons. More than half of the guards have died too. Those four beast-type awakened warriors have no other options but to help protect the few guards who still survive, while still keeping track of Arifin’s action.As they are busy in that chaos, a few people come out of the building through the main hallway. It attracts Arifin’s attention, and finds Jack and Rizal taking the ladies from the same group as Grace. But there’s no Grace amongst them.“Jack, where’s Grace and Andini?” asks Arifin as he intends to approach them.But his left leg is held down by one dedemit which has lost its legs. He just destroys the dedemits head by kicking it once.“Watt is still inside trying to get them out,” shouts Jack from afar.“What takes him so long?”“Unlike these people, their rooms are locked,” answers Rizal.Their conversation catches Dr. Cohen’s attention. That’s when he learns Arifin’s real reason why he is so in
