“Thank you very much for the help.” Sera smiled, looking at the three people before her.
“No. It’s us who should thank you. If not for you and Nathan, we would have been in huge trouble. It’s only thanks to you we’re able to win, so… we’d like to express our gratitude here.” Lees waved his hand.
He was slightly surprised that Sera chose to talk with them alone instead of with Nathan. Then again, no one really wanted to get into trouble with the Holy Kingdom, so they knew no one would harm her.
Sera chuckled. She began the conversation as usual, but no one realized it yet that Sera was just buying time.
In fact, their conversation had stopped being real after a minute.
Nathan, Bella, and Evelyn entered the room.
“Good work.” Evelyn nodded. “We can now bring them to the base and check whether there’s an alien in their body or not.”
Nathan glanced at Bella. “Does your illusion work?”
Bella waved her hand. “Don’t worry. During the entire time, they will think they are still talking to each other. And after everything is done, the illusion will go with them going separate ways and sleeping. It will look so natural that they don’t realize they have been taken away somewhere. And the next thing they realize, they will wake up in the morning.
“Of course, we will need your healing ability to make sure there is no scar. Once everything is over, they won’t realize anything.” Bella winked playfully, assuring Nathan.
“Alright then.” Nathan nodded, looking at the four people who were sleeping on the table.
Unfortunately, Sera had to be taken as well since Bella needed to be around to keep the ability up.
Hence, all of them disappeared from the room.
Nathan carefully carried Sera and gently put her on the sofa. Meanwhile, the others had gone to the operation room.
“How is it, Neyeid?” Evelyn asked.
“Hmmm…” Neyeid narrowed his eyes while pressing their bodies. “I think I noticed something…”
“Is that so?” Bella thought for a moment. “What should we do? Do we need a barrier or something?”
“I have prepared the barrier.” Christopher pointed down, showing the magic circle he had drawn in the last couple of weeks.
He clapped his hands and poured all his Ena into the circle. “Activate!”
The magic circle started glowing and formed a translucent golden sphere that isolated them from the rest of the world. “This should be enough.”
“In that case, I will do this fast.” Neyeid glanced at Nathan. The latter summoned Anubis while instructing, “Heal him, but not too fast. Just make sure he doesn’t die.”
Anubis nodded with a serious expression.
Neyeid then took out a set of knives and immediately sliced open their stomach. After that, he formed a smaller hand purely made of Ena before pushing it into the stomach.
While the hand was wiggling inside the stomach as though it were trying to get something, Neyeid said, “I am a bit experienced in this. I heard you could cause them to have underlying diseases whatsoever that could kill the people from the inside, so I used Ena to ensure it didn’t happen. I had cleaned this room, so it should be fine as long as we worked fast and no one touched these people.”
Nathan glanced at Anubis. He had heard about this a lot in the modern operation, but he wondered if Anubis could actually remove viruses or bacteria from one’s body.
Then again, bacteria could be used by the bodies. If he ended up removing all the bacteria in one’s body, wouldn’t it be too powerful? Nathan thought about such a possibility.
Before he could finish his thoughts, Neyeid was already done. He gently forked out a small cube from within their bodies. The cube was protected by Ena, so it didn’t harm the people.
Experience tales with
However, the most important thing was the content of the cube.
“I’m out. Nathan!” Neyeid warned him.
Without hesitation, Anubis activated his healing ability to the fullest, closing the wound at the speed visible to the naked eye. For others, it was simply too amazing since it was so rare to see a healing ability this powerful.
Meanwhile, Nathan took another look at the cube. Inside that cube was a living creature.
It looked like a small worm alien, but more importantly, it had a black skin, which was the characteristic of the symbiote.
In addition, there was a small core, which was used as a fuel to maintain this barrier. It had been covered with another magic circle.
There was a complex mechanism within this cube, so they had to be careful.
Evelyn examined the cube while saying, “The barrier itself is made from the magic circle inscribed on the alien’s body. The skin is covered by symbiote, but once you reach my level, you will be able to see the magic circle.
“The core is used as fuel. The magic circle in this…” Evelyn fell silent for a moment. “It’s not activated. Nathan, Bella. You told us that the enemy actually broke another cube similar to this and the demon turned into an alien, right?”
“Yes.” Nathan nodded.
“Are you suspecting that it’s controlled remotely by the main cube?”
“Most likely. If I have to guess, the main pillar is something they have in their base, while the cube, you see, is like the remote for a specific cube.” Evelyn’s expression turned dark. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
“Are you saying that they have full control over all these cubes? If they end up destroying the main one, all these cubes will pop out and…” Nathan’s tone became heavy.
“All the people who have been inserted will turn into an alien. And that will become a huge loss for the world.” Christopher sucked a cold breath. This was inhumane. How could even people do this?
Evelyn thought for a moment. “Neyeid. Check out the other two. Sonia is currently investigating other academies, so we’ll have to move fast… No, we alone might not be able to do it.
“Nathan. If we have two of them, take one of them to the old swordsman. Try to see if he has someone who can track down the magic circle. If possible, we should track them and hunt them down and secure the main cube.”
