Grim Intimidation
“Sir, we have discovered something.”As soon as Officer Woniel reached Conrad, he went straight to the point and gave his report.Turning his attention away from the two accompanying individuals, Conrad asked, “What did you find?”Officer Woniel replied, “We found a black site facility built deep inside the hill, extending at least fifty meters underground, sir—maybe more.”Hearing this, Conrad glanced at the two people beside Woniel while musing aloud, “Is that so? How did you discover this?”Woniel answered, “The partial collapse from the quake revealed a hollow inner cavity inside the hill, exposing part of the facility’s top structure.”“Then do you know what type of black site facility this is?” Conrad asked again.“No, sir. We were still in the process of investigating when we ran into these two individuals here, who requested to see you.”Now that the matter of the man and woman beside Officer Woniel had come up, Conrad finally turned to them and asked directly, “And who are yo
Another Troublesome Case
After going over the previous crime scenes, it wasn’t that Conrad hadn’t discovered anything useful—it’s just that what he discovered couldn’t help him in identifying the identity of the killer right now. But it did help Conrad create a profile of the killer and their motives.Conrad believed that the reason the killer was attacking all these people and consuming their blood was because they were injured and wanted to recover.The reason he thought this was because during the killer’s first few attacks, there were a lot of lingering traces of a huge battle that took place, which suggested that the killer struggled a little before taking down their victims.It was the same for the first few times they attacked, suggesting that they weren’t significantly stronger than their victims, and only in later attempts did the traces begin to disappear as it became significantly easier for the killer to overwhelm their victims—suggesting they were growing stronger.When you considered this, the r
Drawing Attention
The commotion in the laboratory did not go unnoticed. With the violent quake that served as a precursor to the fateful showdown in the lab’s lower levels, it was very hard not to notice that something was going on.Especially in the outer district of the fortress where the laboratory was located… as soon as the quakes hit, every resident of the outer district was alerted, with many who lived close to the epicenter of the quake running away and abandoning everything in panic.All of this naturally drew the attention of certain entities within the fortress, all of whom made a beeline for the hilltop upon sensing the commotion.It was only a matter of time before the center of the quakes would become surrounded, but amongst the interested parties, the security bureau was the first to arrive, responding quite swiftly to the disturbance, as was their duty.Conrad stood outside facing a partially collapsed hilltop, which was suspected to be where the quakes had originated from. Around him w
Backlash
In the end, five guards managed to escape… Having calmed down significantly, Cale watched as the four remaining guards left on the battlefield ran down the corridor, far away from his reach. At the speed they were moving, without anything obstructing their path, Cale’s rift could not extend swiftly enough to capture them, so he simply decided to let them go.As for the last guard who had gotten away, it was the one responsible for stabbing Cale earlier in the fight, causing him to panic and spiral out of control just now.With his heightened senses stemming from his berserk state, Cale couldn’t sense the presence of that guard anywhere, and because of the rift there were no shadows for the guard to lurk around in, leaving Cale to suspect that he had hightailed it out of here at the first chance he got.With his power, it would’ve been easy for the guard to escape if he wanted to, and nobody could’ve been able to stop him—not even Cale.When there was nobody else in sight, Cale finally
Sacrifice 1
Clearly, there was nobody to blame but themselves, as well as the decisions they made. That is what brought them here in the first place, and now they were facing the consequences.With the female guard stepping forward, the remaining guards retreated back against the rubble as close as possible until they were backs to the wall, leaving only her to face the onslaught of the frenzied attackers alone.But she wasn’t scared, and with a self-pitying smile, the female guard closed her eyes and unleashed her powers.Fwoosh!The sound of rapid air currents pushing forcefully to form a highly compressed wave of air pressure that spread outward came like a clap of thunder and blasted everything surrounding the female guard away, knocking the guards and attackers away like rag dolls.Everything was sent flying away, from Cale’s people, who tumbled away to fall into the open rift with an inaudible splash, their fates unknown, to the remaining guards who, along with the rubble at their backs, we
Sacrifice
“…”A hail of lethal fire was rained down on Cale, floating suspended in the air, yet like raindrops falling into the ocean, everything disappeared before reaching Cale, leaving only a ripple in space where they disappeared.Seeing this, the guards were shocked and could not believe their eyes.“Impossible!” someone shouted.“Again!”The attacks kept coming as the guards fired shot after shot, with some abandoning their rifles to use their powers that were capable of dealing long-range damage to attack Cale.“Don’t let up. Keep going… we must take him down!”The guards kept attacking, yet they proved futile, as none of the attacks managed to reach Cale despite everything being aimed at him. They simply vanished into the void as if there were an invisible well in front of Cale that swallowed up every attack that came its way.Seeing that none of the attacks were working, the guards began to despair.“Ahh!”Amidst the loud sound of rifle fire and explosions from meta powers, a scream wa
