A golden-colored notification panel appeared in front of Zeras.
[You have killed a mortal with an E-grade gene.]
[Does Host desire to devour its life essence?]
His gaze was lit in confusion staring at the notification panel but he still decided quickly.
"Yes..."
[Please place your hand on your victim's forehead to absorb Life Essence.]
Zeras slowly walked towards the man as he placed his palm on his forehead. He could feel it slightly cold to touch but he ignored that as he made contact for about three seconds.
A strange expression appeared on his face when he felt no change at all making him doubt the system a little but in the next second, he suddenly felt a white mist emanate from the man's dead body as it entered into his body through his fingers.
He felt invigorated like just having the best cold shower in his life as Zeras felt something in him increasing but couldn't lay his finger on what exactly it was.
[Congratulations, Host has successfully absorbed Life Essence.]
[Rewards: +5 energy points]
[Total Energy: 35/35]
[Side quests have been achieved: Use Chaos Devourer for once.]
[+10 EXP]
[Exp: 10/100]
A big smile appeared on his face as he saw his energy point increase by five, while he even gained 10 EXP.
"Now this is getting more interesting," he muttered as he slowly walked towards the man and started taking off his clothes.
Ten minutes later...
A figure dressed in long dark overalls could be seen standing in front of a gate, a face cap under the hood covering the upper part of his face.
He resembled the man who threw Zeras into the abyss before except that this wasn't the man but Zeras himself.
Zeras slowly dusted the clothes off as he stared at the new garment he was dressed in.
Of course, he knew he couldn't just waltz around in the base or he would be captured and experimented on due to still being alive, and probably die the most cruel death possible.
To avoid any trouble and ensure a smooth mission, the best way to go is to impersonate the man.
Now he was no longer Zeras. He was the figure responsible for disposing of the bodies of experimental subjects.
Zeras slowly bent down to the dead body as he felt a hard object just beneath the man's trousers.
Bringing it out, it was a small dagger, the size of a knife. Its hilt was a dark red color, while its edges were jagged and gleamed coldly in the darkness.
It seems the man was not completely confident of the base and was also prepared for an ambush anytime or he wouldn't be keeping a knife in his trousers.
Unfortunately, he got killed by Zeras before he could even make use of it.
He then slowly brought out the knife and kept it inside his overalls before continuing his search.
Apart from a dark-colored watch, there was nothing on him, except, of course, his underwear. He didn't go that far.
Done with the man, he moved to the black bag and opened it revealing a badly mutilated corpse of a girl, about 10 years of age.
Both her hands have been severed and her leg swelled up like an inflated balloon.
Only a scanty amount of blue hair was on her head, and her face was badly disfigured, with blood oozing out of her eyes.
Zeras clenched his teeth tightly in pain, the thought of killing these mad people growing stronger within him.
But falling to anger and being rash would only certify him being the next one in the bag.
"Huuuuuu"
Exhaling loudly, his gaze slowly became calm once again as he threw down the dead body of the girl below and buttoned the bag.
He kicked the man with all his strength causing the body to disappear into the distance, slamming on the wall before sliding off it into the abyss below.
Zeras stared at the watch as he saw a map on it. Some parts of it contained red dots which he guessed were labs that needed experimental subjects to be disposed of.
Some parts of the map were crossed showing it was off-limits to the man and the name of the place was even given.
Zeras slowly put on the watch on his right wrist while carrying the bag in his left hand.
With the map of the base in his hands and the enemy not knowing of his existence, he could begin his operation without invoking any suspicion, at least for now.
Impersonating the figure, Zeras immediately moved towards the gate as it slowly opened up.
Stepping into the white light, he dragged the face cap over his head well as he moved out of the abyss into the base.
Now his operation to destroy the base has begun. And his next target was the lab closest to the Off-limit ground.
Lab 4C. The Beast Testing Lab.
