“You can’t just up and leave once you agree to collaborate with us!” David barked as he watched Eagan back retreating from the room He turned back and glared at the captain. “When I decided to collaborate with you, I never agreed to be your watchdog; my team would remain under me. They will take no order from someone else apart from me. If you can’t agree to that, then there is nothing we are waiting here for,” Eagan bites back, his voice failing to hide how angry he was becoming.“Going out with some untrained men will greatly reduce our efficiency, and we all are looking to finish this mission as soon as possible, and we can all leave this hellhole!” David argued“Are you even listening to yourself? You told me you had heard a lot about my team and me, and now you still call us untrained? And besides, should in case you weren’t informed about the situation. This collaboration is because my team and I have better equipment than you all, and we have experience being on the battlefiel
Back at the base, Eagan called a meeting with everyone on his and Festus' team to discuss their raid plans. "I won't sugarcoat anything for you all; our mission this time is dangerous. The set of monsters lurking around isn't just some brainless zombies; these monsters are intelligent and active predators; they can smell you from afar, their senses are a hundred types better than yours, and their speed and strength everything is better than yours; this might be the most dangerous mission you'll ever have to be part of, but we have to do this and not just do it we need to complete this mission in grand style!" Eagan explained as he showed them the pictures of the monsters from the day before "And I can't promise you all that it's going to go smoothly; some of us will be badly injured, and some of us might not even make it out alive, but it's the price we have to pay to keep our loved ones safe or to avenge our loved ones, so if you are scared you have the opportunity right now to lea
{I’ll advise you to kill as many monsters as possible; the demon gets his powers from the pains caused by chaos, and reducing the number of his power generators will slow his recovery!] “…Eagan, do you have anything to say?” Festus asked, interrupting his inner conversation with the system “No, I just felt this image looked a bit familiar, but I might have been mistaken?” he answered nervously, scratching the back of his neck. “It does look familiar; it’s the logo for a pharmaceutical company that produces drugs. Do you think they have a connection to the organization?” Festus asked, looking at the traced-out image “Probably; it’s just a hunch, however. Let’s focus on the mission, and we’ll cross the other bridges when we get there. Now that the plans have been made and we all are fully equipped, we have the rest of the day to rest; we will….” The noise from outside cut off Eagan as he explained their schedule; they all hurried out, carrying out their weapons. Upon getting out, t
"Am I dreaming, or are those guys making this raid look easy?""Can you see their reaction speed? It's insane! Mind-blowing!" "Look at their teamwork; the captain has only shot five bullets in almost two hours since we got here; everyone has each other's back subconsciously!""How are they not getting tired? They look like they are having fun. I want to join in."Festus team members discussed as they watched Eagan and his team breeze through the monster horde like a hot knife slicing butter. Their eyes are fixed on the bunch of teenagers as they stab, slice, and bash the monsters like it's a daily occurrence for them.'Is this survival instinct? They look too much like people trained to kill than people doing anything to survive,' Festus thought."Enough talking, they have moved in deeper, and we need to follow them now." He ordered,{There is a dark energy concentrated around here, probably related to the demon lord. It could be an item or one of his men, be careful} the syst
"Tomorrow's raid was supposed to be handled by your teams," Festus said, pointing at David and Ryan, "but since neither you nor any member of your team is in excellent health, we'll have to keep handling the raids until you all recuperate." He continuedRyan and David could only agree to have them take over the raids until they recovered.When they returned from the raid, David was so furious to see them healthy and full of strength because he had expected them to be covered in bruises and hurt, just like his team had been the day before.David swallowed his pride and said, "How come you are all OK with no injuries?" he has been meaning to ask ever since they returned from their raid unscathed. "Only sneaking around and doing nothing, were you? Why did you not bring any monster carcasses that we were meant to bring back to the base for testing? He smugly questionedEagan retorted, "If you had managed to kill one of those monsters, you would have realized there is no carcass when t
"How is the assignment I assigned to you going?" Mr. Eric inquired of Audrey, who was standing with his hands behind his back and his head lowered. "We're working on it, sir, and everything is proceeding as planned." he replied "The two that murdered our member were tasked with obtaining information from the lab, and they are here in the city already, two of the circles were already destroyed by them" Audrey added"That's fantastic news. It would be a disgrace to just let them off like that after they came here, wouldn't it?" Mr. Eric inquired."How should we deal with them?""Hmm... is one of our men in the raiding team as well?""Sir, yes.""Tell him to get both of their heads to me as quickly as possible. More importantly, now that the hateful leader of the shelter is out here, we can pay another visit to his shelter, I don't believe they would be able to hold off against us without their main fighting force!"With a creeper smile, Mr. Eric ordered Audrey to attack Eagan's s
"We were able to destroy two more circles today, and both have different engravings in them." "So now we have four circles with different things: the first circle has nothing, the second has a dot, the third has an eye, and the fourth has a double triangle," Shannon explained as she stood in front of everyone in the meeting room.She pasted the picture of each circle they had destroyed on the map of the places they were in real life."What does the circle have to do with killing monsters?" David asked"You haven’t been going with us on raids, so I understand your confusion." On the first day of the raid, we notice the unusual behavior of some of the monsters, particularly the ones surrounding the circle. Here, I’ll show you the images. Festus stood up after explaining and connected his phone to the projector to display the images of the monsters around the circle."This is weird, but they are monsters; do you think they have the intelligence to do anything?" Ryan asked"We can’t tell
In the next few days, they raided the monsters as planned; the four teams merged into two, with Eagan and Festus leading both teams. They were able to cover more ground with the setup, and within three days they were able to destroy ten more circles, which totaled fourteen, leaving them with six small circles and one big one.Doing so, they successfully approached the laboratory without anyone suffering a life-threatening injury or death. David has attempted to get them killed several times but has been unsuccessful, which led him to report back to his superiors, who came up with another plan for getting them captured and using them for experiments."Fuck, how come the truck won't start all of a sudden?" Ian cussed as he watched the sky get dark."There wasn't anything wrong with it when we left the camp this morning, right?" David asked the driver"Let's try pushing it; it could probably help start up the engine," the driver suggested.[Unfamiliar humans were approaching at a fast sp
"My... My lord! The gateway has been opened prematurely!" the one-horned demons steward rushed into the dark, cold palace sweating heavily, he knelt before the throne and reported "The energy gathered around the gate is not enough to transport the army and you, my lord.""Why did death servant open the gate prematurely?" a loud baritone voice asked from up the throne, his brows furrowed "Was there an order to open the gate?" a two-horned giant demon dressed in heavy armour, he is the demon army general Beelzebub, he knelt on one leg to salute the king "The location where the gate was placed on earth was suddenly attacked, the death servant thought there would be enough casualty to fill up the energy so we didn't interfere but only two people died and the others were just injured..." the one-horned demon explained regretfully "How incompetent!" the general declared "How can you assume in such a situation! Even when you are sure there will be a casualty to avoid stories that touch th
Large stone chunks fall all around them, barely passing over their heads as they ran out of the building, The Wereman carried Audrey on his shoulder, running as fast as they could, On their way out they met Ian, Priya and Shannon coming to find them upon seeing everyone was fine they ran towards the exit. People dressed in white lab coats as well as new test subjects that were brought in ran around in total disarray to find the closest exit, their faces ashen with urgency and fear. "We don't have time to rescue the researchers but we'll lead the civilians out with us, Brett and Milo guide them to the exit quickly!" Eagan instructed. Brett and Milo following instructions began leading the civilians out of the base with much effort, Milo leading on the front while Brett guard them from the back. A Mechanical voice can't out from the speakers "The centre is under attack, all the exits will be shut down and every data deleted, Self-destruct will commence in 5...4...3.." "Fuck, what
"All you did was for your fucking entertainment! Stop fucking lying to yourself, and feeling self-righteous!" Silver felt so angry that he nearly dash forward to bash the older man's head on the wall continuously. Eagan signalled to him to stand down and with a loud 'hmph' he sat on the floor with a gun sitting on his lap "Even in death, you won't feel repentant about the evil you've committed, and killing you is letting you off easily. I'll make sure you experience a life where you'd wish for death every hour of the day! That will be your retribution" Eagan stated and brought out a handcuff to restrain him before handing him over to an angry Silver and an excited Milo. "Dr Martins should be done let's go out and see, Ian, Shannon and Priya go down and destroy the large circle, do it in the next five minutes" Eagan led the way out of the training room as they dragged out Audrey with his knees kissing the floor. A loud heart-wrenching roar pierced through the air, making people t
"Clang! Swish!" Sounds of metal clashing filled the room as both parties attacked one another, aiming for each other's vital spot and defending against the attack with no one having an advantage over the other as they were both evenly matched both in speed and attack force. Eagan feigned an attack towards Gabe's legs to distract him, using the opportunity he retreated to create some distance between the two, He spits out a mouthful of blood and wiped his mouth with his bare hands smearing his face with the permanent the face 'Fuck! He is a tough nut to crack! Can't believe he has been holding back during training! Killing him will prove more difficult than expected' Eagan thought as he gripped the hilt of his sword tighter "Your killing intent is so enticing! Hahaha!" Gabe laughed as he charged forward to close the distance between the two "I can't help but want to indulge you a little bit, don't worry I won't kill you after all of us are still useful to the boss! It tastes so pu
"Is there a way to save those who have been mutated? Since the mutation happened from a serum if we study the serum shouldn't we be able to find a cure?" Eagan asked Dr Martins curiously"Some of us have tried, several times, but we couldn't find the properties of the serum not to talk of a cure. We are still studying it though we should be able to find something in the long run" Dr Martins explained dejectedly, his voice shaking as the image of their failed experiments flashed through his mind. Eagan nodded and then went back to laying down, he stared at the ceiling deep in thought, he wanted to help Dr Martins somehow and even though he knows that killing the evil woman will do justice but he felt he could do more, besides he hoped that there was a way to create a cure. 'Are we going to leave all the thousands of people to die? It has crossed my mind more than once, there should be some kind of cure, I mean a permanent cure or something..."(There is) the system announced silently
"Dr Martin, don't tell me you are feeling reluctant about the test subjects. Too bad the effect isn't reversible." Dr Finn teased; she placed the blood samples she had just gotten from the test subjects into a silver tray and waved her assistants away. She turned to the middle-aged male doctor with a smile that failed to reach her eye; it is obvious she is trying to pick a fight with him."Dr Finn, it is truly regrettable that the effect of the serum isn't reversible; if it were, you would have been able to 'cure' your useless son, who is neither useful to humanity nor to the 'greater cause' you preach about. I happen to be fond of the new serum and its effect, so permit me to continue with my research; I won't see you out!" Dr Martins continued with the data he was gathering.more like putting up a front about gathering data,"Hmph! Do you think our words are enough to make me angry? I'll have you know you are gravely wrong; he has always been a useless and good-for-nothing son, and
Expressionlessly, the test subjects got in position to fight with the various weapons given to them, varying from guns to swords.Audrey, Mr. Eric, and Dr. Finn stood in a safe space away from the ongoing battle to watch the test subject's performance."Should will reduce the stimulation on the first badge of test subjects?" Dr. Finn asked "We have tested the new ones and we don't know their capabilities yet. They'll probably be overwhelmed by the number they have to face" She explained not taking her eyes off the fighting subjects "No, there won't be a need to reduce the stimulation, we can't afford to have weak soldiers, if one dies it's just not strong enough" Mr. Eric respond On the battlefield, Eagan held the sword he was given tightly, as he rushed toward the monsters and zombies, slicing and saving their weak points as he proceeds forward. When he got surrounded, his comrades come to his aid, shooting the monsters to clear a part for him so he could proceed further. "Those s
"Prepare the test subjects to meet with the leader later, there mustn't be any blunders whatsoever" Dr. Finn instructed the subordinates in charge of the brainwashing, They drilled their new identities into them, such as their names and what they were required to do. Following Eagan's instruction they played along and repeated everything as the doctor said.Soon they were brought into an empty hall and were made to line up like soldiers waiting for orders, Eagan, Milo, Silver, and two other test subjects that weren't from their group stood in front while the others stood bent them in a straight and orderly line.A tall man dressed in a black suit with chocolate brown dress shoes marched in, it was the Owner of the organization, Mr. Eric, alongside the disfigured Audrey and Dr. Finn [Name: Eric Marvins Age: 28 Height: 6'2 Information: slave to the demon God of chaos, contactor of the death system ] [Name: Audrey Martin Age: 45 Height: 5'6 Information: he who betrayed his friend
I'm sorry for the disappointments over the past few weeks, and months.I'm a bad author and I apologize, no words could describe how deeply sorry I am I have been going through some tough times and haven't been able to write as often as I would like to due to some mental strain and a lack of inspiration to do anything creative.
