365 Incoming Dilemma
The blade penetrated Michael’s chest completely. Gregory, Anthony, and even Fein were taken aback at the suddenness of the situation.
“Michael!!” the three of them shouted simultaneously.
“You have a decent strength, unlike those pesky flies earlier.” The monster took out the sword that almost pierced his heart, if not his body’s toughness.
As Fein was about to intervene and step forward. He noticed that Michael had a smile on his face, even at the fact that the monster’s arm blade pierced his chest and went through his body.
Suddenly, Michael’s armor lit up. An intense light illuminated the surroundings that dazzled all the eyes in the vicinity.
‘So that’s it. What a smart move!’ Fein finally realized that Michael deliberately made the shadow chains fragile so the monster would attack him with full strength. Then, Michael used his armor’s cloud counter that could reflect the enemy’s attack unconditionally!
Anthony looked at Michael, and the two smiled at each other with tacit understanding. Gregory, on the other hand, only realized what happened after he saw the monster fall to the ground with green blood on its mouth and a glaring hole appeared inexplicably on its chest!
As for Michael, the injury on his chest vanished like it was just an illusion as if it hadn’t happened in the first place.
“Michael is really a genius when it comes to fighting.” Anthony wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. “Damn, he made us worried to death! How despicable!”
.....
“I’m still in my dramatic phase and he had to do it like that. I don’t have the mood to come back to my mood earlier.” Fein couldn’t help but sigh. The negative emotions such as guilt and sadness disappeared instantly as he saw the monster’s arm go through Michael’s chest.
“Well, it seems that you’re already in the mood. So, can you explain what happened, and you suddenly became depressed?” Anthony asked curiously.
“That’s right. Do you somewhat know this monster or what?” Gregory added.
Fein was silent for a moment before. It took him seconds before he opened his mouth and says. “I don’t know anymore. It’s still hard for me to accept. But just like what Anthony speculated earlier. That monster is a human.”
As they heard this. Anthony and Gregory turned their heads at each with shock written on their faces.
‘If this monster is really a human. Then Fein must have known his monster when he was still a human, so he reacted like that. And considering the intensity of his reaction, it must be his close friend or something?’ Anthony immediately used limited clues present and tried to make sense of it.
Seeing Anthony like this, Fein smiled and patted him on his shoulder. “Don’t think too much. I’ll explain it when the time comes.”
“Okay.” Anthony nodded helplessly and stopped thinking about it.
Gregory stared at the monster with a complicated gaze. If Fein really knew the monster, then how would they kill it? The most difficult thing when a friend is involved is the element of hesitation. And Fein was the only one who could really kill the monster. Would Fein kill his friend? Gregory knew that Fein values friendship more than anything, to the point that he might choose his friend’s life over a thousand people’s life.
‘This is a dilemma.’ Gregory suddenly felt the mission had become a hundred times more difficult in an instant.
Michael looks downwards at the monster that had its knee on the floor. Dark green blood gushes on its chest constantly, and he could even see a puncture to its heart. “Caught you. I know that I won’t win If I fight you by using my physical body alone. Now, this is justice for the innocent people that died at your hands.”
Then Michael picked up the sword that fell to the ground and injected all his of his degu energy into the blade of the sword, which sharpened it greatly. Then he raised it high up in the air, his eyes narrowed into slits, and his expression turned icy. “Now pay for what you did! I don’t care if you are a human before, but you have to pay for the lives you claimed!”
Fein watched this scene with a complicated expression. Both guys were his friends. He didn’t want any of them fighting like this. But he knew that Brick Norty wasn’t currently in the right mind.
‘Just what had happened? Did Brick inject the serum even after I warned him repeatedly? Fuck! I should have helped him configure it earlier. If I did that, he wouldn’t have become like this.’
Fein really felt an unbearable guilt in his heart. He blames himself for what happened. It was partly his fault because he didn’t help his friend much early when he asked to and delayed it for a week. But it really surprised him that Brick, who had been always rational, would impatiently attempt such a risky thing. Now the result is the incompatibility of the serum and his friend’s genes, which resulted in an uncontrollable mutation.
Just imagine injecting thousands of genes into your body simultaneously. That’s basically what perfect gene serum was, which would make the host gene adaptable and more perfect. But there’s a specific formula, and it was different for every person.
‘Well, this is my responsibility. I will save you no matter what!’ A glint of determination flashed in Fein’s eyes. Then he looked at Brick Norty, that was currently on the floor with his knees. ‘But let’s do it step by step.’
As Fein was about to intervene and stop Michael. He saw the monster transform into a giant tortoise in the blink of an eye. Then it retreated behind its shells.
When the sword landed on the shell, it only left scratches, but no actual damage was inflicted.
‘Hmm... It’s could already transform that fast? It seems that his abilities were a bit different from mine,’ Fein pondered quietly.
Michael, on the other hand, stood dumbfounded while staring at the shell and his sword with a lost expression. He literally poured all his degu energy into that one attack! And it couldn’t even leave decent damage?
‘It transformed again? It can really transform into all animals?’ Gregory rubbed his beard in deep thought.
