Chapter 66 - Chapter 66 - Awakening

The group of survivors was made up of Kevin, Arthur, Simon, Alfred, Caitlin, and the two ladies from Team G. They were all looking at the tsunami in front of them, and then they heard more explosion sounds coming from behind them, as if the whole city had been surrounded by bombs from the beginning,they were able to escape from the tsunami and even from all those explosions behind them, but this was not the worst because suddenly in the sky, they noticed a black shape from afar approaching them at high speed. At first, they did not recognize the shape, but with every passing second, they were able to see the features of the shape more and more.

He had red hair covered in blood and dirt, a long nose like a cat, pointed ears on top of his head, and a tail that appeared from a slit in his dirty white robe. The fox had decided to escape from his battle with the investigator and detonated all the remaining bombs everywhere, but instead of running away, he flew directly towards the group.

Kevin had a damaged body, the warrior lady was not in the best condition, and the blonde lady was not suitable for a close and difficult fight against a strong character like the fox, and so were Alfred and Caitlin, so they were all suitable for the fox to kill them easily, but he fell directly in front of Arthur and rushed in his direction with his distinctive iron claws.

Arthur could see the attack in slow motion, but his body did not respond, and he could not move. He could only see the claw getting closer and closer to his neck. The rest of them couldn't help him because they were exhausted or weak, but they all felt chills from seeing the coming attack. Their bodies were unable to move. Except Simone, who was closest to Arthur.

At the last moment, Simone was able to push her brother away from the fox's claws, but this caused her to be the one who was injured, first in her shoulder, and then the attack continued until it passed her neck before the fox made its way out of Simone's body, leaving the girl as if her entire left shoulder had been bitten off before. Monster .

Had it not been for the fox to change the direction of his strike and cut Simone before it reached her neck, the girl would now have been without a head, and while the fox was targeting Arthur with golden eyes full of disgust and anger, the fighting lady barely repelled his attack as she shouted for Arthur to get away, but the young man with brown hair did not hear her words. In fact, he did not even realize that he was still in danger because he was looking at the fountain of blood seeping from his sister in front of him while he stood there, unable to do anything. His entire body was burning from sudden heat, and his breathing became heavier while he felt his body changing.

He had read in a book that these symptoms meant that the person was about to become awake, but what was the process of waking up in the first place?

All scientists agree that the great war between humans and parasitic organisms was an important turning point in human history. The war resulted in many diseases and serious disasters, such as forgotten monsters, but it also resulted in a new hope for humans when they discovered that the genes of the new generation were distinct and carried information and secrets that scientists had never dreamed of discovering before.

The secret to strength transcends the limits of humans and even monsters. The initial experiments were bad, according to their statement, but after each failure, they progressed further towards understanding the new genes in the human body until finally they were able to make the first person awake, using many chemicals, electric shocks, and cognitive waves. The result was amazing, but it did not justify the effort. Time and a large sum of money were spent on one awakening process, but suddenly the world witnessed the presence of more awakened people who were able to activate their powers without the help of laboratories, drugs, or any machines. Then science developed, and scientists succeeded in studying these people to the point that they copied the natural awakening process. In a large percent

In the process of awakening, the person needs to be placed under great mental pressure that pushes him to the brink of collapse; then he needs to have the ability to sense the genes inside his body; thirdly, he needs to have a great incentive to obtain power; and finally, he needs to be prepared to die in order to achieve power. Then the awakening process will be complete, and this is exactly what happens to Arthur, whose face changes to red, and luminous veins appear on his body before they gather on his fists and form gloves of pure energy, and his body becomes a little larger before his hand quickly disappears from the fox's view and appears under his chin. The fox managed to avoid the blow but was now more upset than ever. Not only had he failed to kill everyone in the place, but he had also become the reason for the existence of a new awakened one.

"The teacher was right; I shouldn't have done anything; I'm an idiot. I am."

The fox began to emit a great feeling of frustration that made everyone feel cold. They watched as the fox summoned the crimson gas, cult puppets, and stone spears before he made the puppets hold the stone spears, made the crimson gas wrap those spears, and then entered one of those puppets before a cloud exploded. From the crimson gas in front of the group.

The warrior lady took Kevin, Alfred, and Caitlin while the blonde lady was trying to carefully grab Simon. Arthur stood in her face like a rabid dog. Suddenly, the lady's eyes turned violet, and she was excited.

"She will be fine; she can still be saved. I need you to help us."

Hearing her words inside his head, Arthur felt upset, but if this was the only way for him to save his sister, he would not hesitate. The lady carried Simone with great care, indicating the extent of her experience, and Arthur kept her away while they escaped from the crimson cloud, but the worst was yet to come. Behind the cloud were four puppets carrying four spears wrapped in crimson gas, and in one of them there was a fox waiting for his chance to kill them all.

The responsibility became heavy for the warrior lady, but at least Arthur was by her side, and they were trying to prevent any puppet from approaching the group behind them while also protecting themselves from a possible attack, or at least that is what the warrior lady was doing because Arthur was committing many dangers and barely controlling his new power.

Things were bad in every sense of the word. The Warrior Lady was fighting three dolls, attacking Arthur, while Arthur attacked a doll trying to reach the group where his sister was. Then the dolls suddenly reversed roles, creating a major disturbance in the Warrior Lady's tactics, in addition to the scarlet gas. The wrapping around the top of the spears was very dangerous, so they were trying to avoid it, but the puppets were cooperating to block any escape they had from their blows, and if they were unable to hit them, the puppets would throw spears in the direction of the group and then attack stealthily from an open area on Arthur and the Fighting Lady.

If it weren't for the blonde lady who seemed to be using her ability to act like a third eye in combat, all of them would have already died. In the midst of all this, Kevin felt helpless and weak. He was sure that if he did not use the waves for just three seconds, he would be able to kill the enemy, but his body could not bear more, and with every second that passed in the fight, Kevin's anxiety was increasing more and more.

"Just a little; give me a little time."

Kevin's head was full of incomprehensible whispers and hallucinations, but she certainly rejected Kevin's request. But the handsome young man continued to use the waves until his face and eyes turned red from the pressure and he suffered from nosebleeds, but nothing happened. He tried more and more, but to no avail. He can't give up, not when he sees the predicament they are in and the losing battle before him. He began to feel that there were some waves in his body, but they were fading away. He increased the rate of the waves, but they were all coming out of his body.

Alfred and Caitlin did not understand what Kevin was doing, but they could not stop him. He was getting closer. He felt something new. He decided that if he could not force the waves to remain in his body, then he would at least try to attack them from afar. Then suddenly, he heard a sound, but it was not The sound of the hallucinations was a new sound. He slowly tried to control the distribution of the waves outside his body, which made the sound more understandable.

"Darkness is a beautiful thing. I mean, look at this! It's like I'm on vacation. Yes, yes, a long vacation in the cold darkness with a useless companion. *Sigh* Can I even call you a companion?"

"What?..." Kevin was surprised by the childish voice he heard, which suddenly stopped as if he heard Kevin complaining.

"Wait.... Is there anyone outside? Ugh, of course there is someone listening to me. I won't go crazy so quickly. Come on, you strange voice."

Kevin was feeling tired and wanted to help his friends, so he had no hesitation in asking the strange creature.

"Please help us."

"Wow really? I mean, yes, yes, I am the Great. I am going to help you any minute now will.... Aaaa, help will come to you."

The way the unknown creature spoke was strange, but it did not matter to Kevin as long as help would be provided. But even after several seconds had passed, he did not see or feel help. He almost felt that the unknown creature was too weak to help them, so he tried to infuse his body with waves again, but suddenly he heard the sound of a gun from afar.

The blonde woman turned around with an exhausted smile on her face.

"Finally, Commander."

"Yes, I apologize for that; he ran away from me."

Hearing the deep voice of the man in the detective's suit, all the dolls suddenly charged forward madly, but both the warrior lady and Arthur were barely able to stop them. But what no one realized was that there was a fifth, unarmed doll waiting in the void. And now that someone who was annoying to the fox had come, he... He decided to appear behind the group and directly attacked the blonde lady while sending the doll towards the injured Simone, but suddenly there was the sound of gunfire twice as the doll was destroyed immediately. The investigator also injured the fox in the hand, which he used to prevent the bullet from hitting his head. The fox's hand was destroyed immediately. Not because of the bullet's power, but because he had reached his limits.

With an angry look, he looked at an investigator before he immediately disappeared, and the dolls also disappeared. The investigator looked at the group and said it with relief.

"That means he's really gone this time."

The detective drew his weapon back and stared at Kevin and Arthur intensely before looking at the blonde woman.

"Amy, report"

The blonde woman's eyes turned violet, and after a few moments, the detective shook his head.

"I understand. This tragedy falls on me, and I will bear the consequences."

"Sir, if I had been stronger, this would not have happened. I am the one who should."

The investigator interrupted the warrior lady and said,

"Shouldn't you be taking care of my own affairs, for example, those children?, please, Aluma?"

The look on Aluma's face was disappointment, but she answered yes and went to the group. The investigator then took out a silver necklace and looked at it for a few moments before saying:

"I failed again."

...

In a distant place, there was a creature resembling a fox, but in human form, standing under a spotlight, with six chairs in front of him, two of which were empty.

"You failed again, fox."

Someone spoke in the dark.

"I did not expect Team G to be at the event."

"Huh? Whose team? Who are they?"

"Wait, is he really memorizing the names of these losers from the government?"

Two people are talking at the same time.

"Fox, the teacher did not want to come and see you in this miserable state, so you should thank him for his kindness, but if this happens again, there will be major consequences. Am I clear?"

"...Yes"

"Good, now go get your punishment. I'll see you in the training room in an hour to supervise your training."

"But this is impossible. My body will already be destroyed by the punishment, and I will not be able to"

The fox was interrupted by a frightening aura coming from the chair closest to the empty middle chair.

"I apologize for complaining; thank you for your concern."

With this, the fox left immediately, with a look of discontent on his face.
