2025-12-13 07:56:14The underground parking lot of the commercial tower was quiet. Too quiet. The only sound came from the soft hum of the elevator. Its entrance was tucked away, hidden from casual eyes. One of the lab’s secret exits. A lifeline for anyone brave enough—or foolish enough—to use it.
Kael Ardyn led the group down the cold concrete steps. Their boots echoed faintly. A few quick taps on the keypad. A short pause. The elevator doors slid open, groaning slightly as if complaining about the weight of the passengers. Slowly, it descended, taking them toward the outer perimeter of the lab.
Alice clutched her bag tightly, her small hands shaking. Hundreds of mercenaries flanked her, weapons raised, eyes scanning every shadow. For a heartbeat, everything was silent. Just the kind of silence that feels like it’s holding its breath, waiting.
Then they stepped out through the academy gates, and the world erupted. The streets, once littered with collapsed s

Chapter 137: Returning to the Beast World Again
Electricity tore through Kael Ardyn’s body. Not a mild zap, not a sting—this was full-blown, bone-rattling, searing pain. His body had survived countless battles, but this was different. Every nerve screamed. Every muscle threatened to give out. For the first time in years, he felt… helpless.The metallic floor groaned under his weight as he collapsed, Alice cradled in his arms. Darkness crept in, dragging him under like a tide.Alice remained limp, her neck still raw from a mercenary’s blade. Alive, yes. But unconscious. Oblivious to the chaos surrounding them.White-suited figures moved quietly toward him and Alice. More than a dozen, precise and efficient. They didn’t rush. They didn’t stumble. They lifted them gently, as if handling priceless glass. And then placed them in a container that shimmered like crystal. A coffin, yes—but one built for more than rest. It was designed to preserve, to protect, maybe even to c
Chapter 136: Exit
The hum of the lab machines mixed with the steady drip of blood from the transfusion devices. It was a rhythm that matched Kael Ardyn’s heartbeat—cold, precise, relentless. Every movement mattered. Every breath counted. He didn’t flinch. Didn’t hesitate. The continuous transfusions from the blood containers kept his skeleton summoning skill stable, growing stronger with each pulse.Then the rifts opened.From the cracked floors of the lab, massive blood-red skeletons rose, bones gleaming under the harsh lights. Each stood over three meters tall. Terrifying, yes. But majestic, too. Like warriors from a place no human was meant to see. They didn’t rush. No frantic scrambling. They moved with purpose, precise and controlled, filing toward the elevators that led down to the basement of the Commercial Tower.The elevator doors opened. Twenty of them stepped in. Bones overlapped in ways that should have been impossible, yet somehow it wor
Chapter 135: Releasing the Monsters and the Skeleton Legion
Kael Ardyn spun around, eyes scanning the lab. Rows of glass containers stretched before him, each holding a monstrous evolution of the biochemical virus he had spent so long mastering. They sat there, quiet, almost peaceful—but anyone who knew better could see the danger coiled beneath the surface. A sly grin tugged at Kael’s lips. He had an idea, one that could thin the ranks of mercenaries standing in his way.“Well,” he murmured, amusement dancing in his eyes, “the world’s already gone to hell. Might as well stir things up a little more.”In this world, anyone with exceptional genes—humans or animals—is transformed under the zombie virus. With time, the infected evolved into the advanced monsters now resting in the containers. The thought sent a rush of excitement through him.“If I let these monsters loose, it could speed up the zombies’ evolution across the city,” he thought, fingers f
Chapter 134: Entering the Commercial Tower
Time crept by, unnoticed but relentless. Half an hour had passed since the zombie virus hit, and Tari City’s streets were nearly empty. Those who remained—if they could still be called alive—hid in homes, behind bolted doors, or in any sealed room they could find.The city was silent. Normal communication? Dead. Every government news broadcast repeated the same tired warning, over and over:"Attention all citizens: due to the spread of an unknown virus, please remain indoors. Lock all doors and windows. Government and military rescue units are on their way, estimated arrival time of approximately twenty hours. Beware of infected individuals."It sounded like hope, but it was a lie. People clung to it anyway, shivering in dark corners, pretending there might be salvation.Salvation wouldn’t come. Not in twenty hours. Not ever. Tari City was marked for destruction. A nuclear strike would turn the city to dust, and the government woul

Chapter 122: Mission Issuer
The communicator in the lab buzzed sharply. Kael Ardyn’s fingers moved quickly, almost dancing over the controls as he sent the same urgent message to more than ten mercenary corps around Tari City.Inside a middle school in Tari City, a young girl had to be brought out alive. Her safety was non-negotiable. Resistance would be brutal. The extraction point? That would be revealed once she was secured.The enemy forces were massive, and casualties were expected to be high. Only the strongest, most disciplined mercenary corps should respond. Time was critical. Multiple teams would take part. Protect the girl, and you’d receive full compensation. Make a special contribution, and you’d get extra rewards.No unnecessary conflict. The enemies were extraordinarily powerful. Financial resources were abundant.Within minutes, eight mercenary corps answered the call. Curiosity and the promise of a big payout drove them forward. Kael didn’t ev
