Chereads / Sentient Core / Chapter 29 - Task complete.

Chapter 29 - Task complete.

Roland had been given a task and he was going on with it, moving around the first-year area he had run into some bullies but he couldn't feel the same energy he felt from the victim he was shown in the infirmary.

It was just a few walks that he found his psychotic criminal, and the purple energy was running rampant with the ghastly scene in front of him.

Not waiting to see what Tyson wanted to do, he then rushed at him delivering a punch to his side, sending him meters away from the syncoped victims.

Moving to the bodies on the floor, Roland was checking if they were still breathing, luckily they were, but they were battered and wounded.

Tyson soon rushed at Roland with his spider legs, he then began to stab at him but Roland was like a leaf in the air, dodging all the spider attacks.

Swinging his arms like a blade, Roland made a swipe at the spider legs, chopping them into pieces, making Tyson fall from the air.

The normal Tyson would have tried to break his falling output, but he wasn't normal right now, he was been driven by a despicable familiar.

At that time Roland clasped his hands and made a fist, and bending his knees, he then launched at the falling Tyson, delivering a well-packed punch.

"you're not my match, submit now, for your sake!" Roland shouted.

Although Roland had just said this, he didn't believe his words would appeal to Tyson, the way he had rushed at him in the beginning, he looked unhinged and completely out of it.

It was the way siphon beasts would behave, savage and obstinate, and Roland had an idea of what was wrong with this person.

A siphon couldn't just choose the type of siphon they wanted to be, they would need to undergo a series of tests before determining their siphonization compatibility.

A test to determine their mental and physical strength. Mental strength for how strong one could use their mind and control their emotions.

This was mostly accustomed to passives and emitters.

Physical strength for how much energy one could contain in his/her body is applied to Augmenters, Mutants, and Conjurers.

But there were times when one's body and mind would overload with energy from not being able to contain it, in other to avoid this, the physicals like the Augmenters, Mutants, and Conjurers would be subject to building and strengthening their bodies in Gym's to avoid excessive energy build up.

Emitters would use spell books and energy staffs as their power conducts, while passives would learn to control their thoughts and emotions.

If one had a clear and resolved mind, one would be okay as a passive, as long as their mental strength was as strong as their familiar's, they didn't have much of a problem.

But Tyson's familiar was an anomaly, a siphon Amoeba known for their characteristics for their parasitic and manipulative power, it wasn't the normal type of familiar.

It was very normal for Rolland to think that he was being controlled by his familiar, it wasn't the first time it had happened, and those that it happened to were given the term siphends.

A tentacle spear soon came for Rolands head, but he easily avoided it. " fine, have it your way". Roland said running towards Tyson.

The rain of spears was still raining down at Roland, it was like a walk in the park as he was soon closing in on Tyson, grabbing one of the tentacles another one was thrust aiming for his head.

Quickly moving his other hand he then caught the tentacle spear. Roland then shot himself up into the air still holding onto both of the tentacles, he then lifted Tyson with the orb, somehow the orb was connected to Tyson's body by an invisible force, making Roland able to pull him up with himself before slamming him to the ground knocking Tyson out cold.

Looking at Tyson's body on the floor, Roland was now second-guessing his Task, Tyson was clearly not himself.

In the end, he still had to complete his task, pressing on his watch, an electronic crystal-powered handcuff soon appeared, and he then cuffed Tyson's arms to his back.

About to lift Tyson to his shoulders, an unexpected attack came from his side, knocking him to the floor.
