It dumbfounded Chris seeing the next mission that was assigned to him. After reading some details of it, he was now confused why he was being given a job like that.
There was certainly something about it that does not sit properly with him, especially because it was a job that the officials have deemed safe.
The special private was currently standing at attention within the doctor’s office. He was immediately called in there after he arrive, after enjoying his three days’ leave.
Doctor Steinz arch a brow at the question, removing his focus from his computer before smirking and giving him an amused stare.
The man turned his chair, crossing his legs as he faced him. After a few seconds of browsing his clipboard with a fe

The Matriarch Chapter 22 A new group
Twelve well-built men stood in front in a salute the moment he and the doctor entered the room. All of them wearing tactical suits with a red dog-like logo.“Private, may I introduce to you the Set security force.”Steinz had this proud look on his face as he gestured at the group that gave a firm greeting to them. Chris did the same in respect, but he could not remove his frown upon realizing that they were not from the military.He moves closer to the bearded man in order to whisper his concern. “A private army?”Though he knew that this was a special mission, not to mention one that was completely under the research division. He could not help but worry, seeing as they got hired mercenaries instead of soldiers.Doctor Steinz let out a sigh as he took off his

Chris was deep in thought, trying to reach out to the deepest recesses of his mind. In search of an alternative, wanting to speak to the two beasts that he had encountered. He kept calling Wolfenstein the way he had before. He could feel that they were still alive, yet he could not call them out.He stops when he felt a hand on his shoulder. When he turned to see who it was. It was sergeant Rodrigo giving him a thumbs up, his face asking if he was okay. He gives him a node to say yes, allowing him to be left alone again.Though this time he couldn’t return to his meditation, noticing the weird look on some soldiers. Some of them were grinning, while others had this grim expression while staring at him.That all changed when they finally started landing and everyone began gearing up as the chopper opened up its door. A platoon immediately gr
The Matriarch Chapter 24 Within the mist
Chris kept his eyes open for anything suspicious. The moment they entered the mist, the ringing plagued his mind. It didn’t cause any kind of pain, though it annoyed him, as he could not focus.He let his gaze wander out, peeking into the small window in the armored vehicle, to see if there was any other odd thing. But the cover of the fog made it quite difficult.There was still electricity within the place, which meant that it had a connection to the outside. Abandoned and hardly visible, the entire town seemed like those places in a horror movie.A few other armored vehicles wandered in and out of there as they had the chance to encounter patrols that were coming out from there.“What do you want to do, chief?”Sergeant Rodrigo asks, he along with the full security

“Chief, are you sure you want to go here? There’s hardly anything around this place.”Rodrigo asks, seeing that there was nothing special happening on the device. The thing only showed a blank slate, not a sign or blink of any life moving within five hundred meters.Their group was trekking the nearby woods, far from the town area. Though the equipment wasn’t giving any kind of change, the ringing inside Chris’s head continued to become stronger as they got deeper.Even without the help of the machines, he could sense something creeping within the shadows. Of course, he can’t understand why it was not showing on the radar.“I was told there were beasts lurking around the mist, so what better place to look for them than in a forest?”Chris

“Masks on!”The shadows started releasing a purple smoke towards them. Uncertain of what it was, they put on their gas masks and began retreating further into the woods.Three men remained close by Chris’s side, staying within the range of one another, while their remaining companions continued to shoot at the unknown beings that chased them.“Sergeant, we mustn’t go any further.”Chris was getting a foreboding feeling the deeper they got into the forest. It caused every hair on his skin to stand. His knees were shaking from that risk and tension that was increasing.“Where else can we run?”One of their vanguards screamed aloud, catching up to them because of how slowly they moved. It was unavoidable, c

Uncertain if everything was real or not, Chris stayed silent as they hoisted him up from the pit that he was in. The person didn’t even exert any force, using only a single hand to pick him up as if he did not weigh a thing.He remained observing, trying to distinguish his rescuer. There were three of them, each wore glimmering armor, which shined like scales, having the shape of a beast for its helmet. It looked medieval, and they stood at almost seven feet tall, carrying swords, shields and spears that had intricate designs he could only see on games.They were busy poking and tinkering with his equipment, probably curious of the continues blinking and beeping sound that wa

“Die, you foul hell spawn!”Rombos jumped at it, slashing his sword at the thing. The beast instantaneously deflected the attack, swaying to the side to use the thick surface of its scale.It retaliated by swinging its massive rear like a whip, smashing straight to the ground. Rocks flew left and right as the earth cracked and rumbled.“Cortus, watch out for its tail!”The leader shouted as the youngest one targeted the creature’s back, without so much as a care for the part that the enemy boasted.

“Damn this beast!”Rombus grunted, almost breaking his sword with that last swing. Once again, he got thrown when the beat swung its body.They barely scrape the scale near its heart, which was a crucial part in defeating the wyrm.This entire battle proved too much for just the three of them, considering that they were unprepared for an enemy as big as this one.“If only the others were here.”Cortus whined, nearly lost for breath. The youngster was holding out well, even if this was, in fact, his first patrol. Though it would have been better if they did not encounter such a creature.“We don’t have a choice. We’re just a scouting party.”Asron states, trying to clari

Prologue An impending doom
Within the darkness, on a floating platform made of trees, vines, and krad carcasses, was Chris, sitting on a throne of spikes and bent trunk, along with the wriggling doctor. The roots of the fauna continued to grab hold of the now silent machinery, as it too remained helpless in the void.“We can breathe! Fascinating.”Steinz chuckled, as they were both able to remain alive, even within the emptiness of the space. A thing which was impossible. The chill prevailed, together with the silence, but it did not bother both of them, being protected by the makeshift vessel.“Let’s see you enjoy it when you get bored with the place.”Chris grumbles, sighing as he narrowed his gaze onto the infernal device. The object may have stopped, but he was certain its power remained.“I am positive we can find a way to kill boredom in someway.”The old geezer let out another cackle, enjoying his weightlessness, swimming within the nothingness like a serpentine fish. He used his webs as an anchor, makin

The skies began opening up, tornadoes appeared increasingly. It started wreaking havoc, along with the continued earthquakes.Chris witnessed it all, watching how the land was breaking because of the machine. He took in a deep breath, feeling the drudge in his chest, contemplating on his plan if it will work.He’d been starting there for an hour now, and all this time, he was having doubts because of the fear which was nudging inside of him.He was so far in his thoughts that he hardly notice the portal opening nearby. Out came Raynald, a healed up Oliver, and the others.All of them stunned to see him just standing there, unmoved by all the chaos, looking into the nothingness with lifeless eyes.“Matriarch, everything all right?”It was the sergeant who asked, being the only one bold enough to approach and check up on him.That wake him from his dreamlike state, sensing those familiar energies.

Chris stared above, watching that beautiful large planet in the sky. He smiles, unable to believe that they are going to collide with such a gorgeous thing.He turns his gaze to the pyramid, humming non-stop. Spike roots rot around it, barely touching the area. The golems which tried to go near the site all crumbled.Once again, he fires a shot. The beam deflects, ricocheting on the nearby tree.He clicks his tongue in frustration. The machine had created its own barrier. He could only find out after getting pushed back when he approached it.“Fascinating, isn’t it? My life’s work.”The gurgling voice states.Chris’s eyes rolled, huffing in irritation before turning to the now crawling geezer.The old man’s head popped out of the body of a large beetle larvae, web like mucus continued to flow out of him, three hands twitching with excitement.Even in his new form, the fellow remained pompous of his job, as it showed in how he gaze at the mechanism.“Yes, I would have commended you for

All of them letting out laughs, because even the monsters that were charging in had vanished.Chris watch as the group celebrated their victory and after a thorough observation, he confirmed his theory about them.Once they became complacent enough, he makes his move, stepping out of the guise of the fog calmly.“I knew you were still alive. Doctor Howard Steinz.”He states, narrowing his sights at the man who stood in the middle of them all.The geezer’s smile faded, frowning upon seeing him walk unfazed in front of all those men.The crowd was quick to gather, blocking themselves in defense of the elderly fellow.Those who had a barrier ability created a gigantic dome, protecting both the machine and t

Above them, the cloud ridden sky sparked and roared, as the unrivaled beings clashed with each other.Behind them, booms of cannons and rattling of machine guns continued, and in front, debris would fall off from the top, while flashes of different colored lights would appear, together with the sounds of explosions.Chris remained still, staring at the two individuals flying in the air while cooking up a plan inside his head.“Matriarch, you think it was wise to use him?”It was Finny, fidgeting from the pressure in the atmosphere.Both superpowers kept releasing an immense trace of energy, reaching down below.It continued to make them sense the overpowering presence, causing the unbearable sensation of staying there, since they still got that fear of the danger being close by.“Zero can handle himself.”He mutters the name they gave him, confident that the being is strong enough to take on his opponent.The only trouble they had was the stray beam falling down, blowing up a portion

Chris narrowed his eyes, feeling every bit of his body trembled in anticipation. His adrenaline was trashing about, his hearts continued to pump uncontrollably fast.The amount of aura the man was releasing was as he had expected, inciting a higher excitement in him.A grin formed inside his mask, unable to hide the sheer joy he was experiencing from relief.“Get him out of here.”He orders, not removing his eyes on the guy.From having witnessed the battle with Oliver unfold a moment ago, he was now used to his speed, so he realized how much effort he needed to exert to stop him.Though he stood straight, his fingers were twitching, alert to take out his weapon if the fellow tried to move from his place.A portal opened beside the wounded youngster, letting out Harold, Raynald, Finny, and Marco. All four were wearing masks, hiding their identity from the guy.The double S class stayed in a steady battle pose, weary of beginning an attack after that. Especially because his wound conti

Chapter 225 A decisive gamble
Oliver’s heart raced, each time someone turns his way, his blood rushing as he continued moving in the mist's guise. His every motion stayed silent, quick, and fluid.He pauses when he reaches the summit, as the clearing no longer provided any kind of protection. It was where the opening yet did not have any area to hide.He takes a few huffs of breath, shutting his eyes to muster his courage, readying himself for what he is about to do.Once done, he did not hesitate to take a step forward, having put all his mind into it. In seconds, he dashes about five meters into the clearing, but his momentum was not enough to reach the gap.“It’s the sniffer!”One soldier got a glimpse of him, gaining the attention of the others. All those that were in reserve promptly rush to the site.But he had already broken through the force field, slamming his shield right into it without a problem.He uses the sudden pause as a leverage to shift his movement, turning to his side to head towards the pyram

Chapter 224 A single man's risk
Flames, flashes of light, and debris mixed into the mist. There was barely nothing to see there because of it.Screams of terror, despair, and anger filled the air, along with the explosions and shots now and then.Deep within the middle of it all, Oliver was pulling his father to the safety of a nearby mound that he saw. Away from all the beams, bullets, and other stuff that were flying around.“Come on, dad.”He urges, as his old man could no longer move, groaning with each motion because of the wound on his legs.They froze in place, hearing a loud clicking sound behind. Instinctively, he let out a shield, blocking a claw in the nick of time.He winced, receiving the brunt and weight of the force, his bones cracking, forcing him to bend his knee to weaken its pressure.Huge mandibles began munching on his defense, attacking to break through it, while its scythe claws pulled at him. All he could do was tug at it, drawing its attention to hide his father from those large, dark, insec
