After giving Sophia the crystal stone, she then put her hand into her pocket again and pulled out another crystal stone, and tapped it several times before putting it beside her forehead, although she could now see in the dark thanks to the demon beast's power now about 70-80% in her body.
However, she felt uncomfortable of course symbiote users could also see in the dark but her original rank couldn't grant her that ability, although she was now nearing rank 6 but then she wasn't using her own bloodline power to see in the dark but that of the demon beasts, so she felt uncomfortable with herself.
"I know what you are thinking, however, I can bet with my life that although I have slightly transformed, but I still retain perfect clarity of myself so you don't have to worry, can you also keep this as our little secret?"
Sophia looked at her for a moment but didn't say anything, of course, she knew Anna had not completely lost her clarity but the transformation was now becoming more apparent, so she knew as went time by she would gradually begin to lose herself and it was only a matter of time before that happens, however, she wasn't going to say anything to Anna at this point, whatever she was going to say was as good as useless.
Even though she was cold and emotionless, that didn't mean she was ignorant about the situation in her surrounding, it was just the way she had been groomed right from birth, considering what she had seen she could tell Anna wasn't really a bad person rather she was just greedy and that was what led to her situation, and because she wasn't a bad person didn't mean she should trust her she also wasn't going to reveal the fact that there was a possibility that there was no stargate or teleportation device in this place.
Anna couldn't help but look at Sophia before she lowered her head, if she was to be honest she was actually surprised by Sophia's actions, she thought the fact she had transformed due to the possession of the demon beasts, Sophia would suddenly show a disgusted expression and would as well start avoiding her or even show intent to kill her after all at this point she was neither a human nor a demon beast.
Although she still had human blood flowing inside her but then it was only a matter of time before that changes as well, but this was something that she hadn't expected rather than disgust she was relatively calm even after seeing all of these she didn't start yelling or complaining, while lowering her head Anna suddenly felt at lost with herself, she couldn't help but wonder if she had just made the biggest mistake of her life because of greed for power.
"Come on, let's go," Anna said after a while and began to advance forward as the two of them continued to walk further into the place. There was an eerie silence in the atmosphere, not only was the hall completely dark but it was as silent as a graveyard as they walked along they could even hear their footsteps.
Both Anna and Sophia were tensed although for completely different reasons, for Anna it was the fact this place was where the stargate or teleportation device she had been looking was kept, and for Sophia, she was becoming even more worried about Bernard considering how silent the place was, she had a bad foreboding about the place. However, no one said anything, for now, they would use the small lights coming off from the led lights to help guide them.
Sophia couldn't help but wonder if she should just kill Anna right there, now that she was extremely close to Bernard she didn't want anything to suddenly go wrong because according to what she knew demon beasts like hosts who had unique bodies and bloodlines, although she was sure the reason why the spider type demon beast had possessed Anna in the first place was likely because of her symbiote bloodline.
However that didn't mean the demon beast wouldn't try to take over Bernard's body when its saw how unique and powerful his symbiote bloodline was, she hated to admit it but that was what she was most afraid of at this moment, the last thing she wanted was for something to happen to Bernard.
If there was a way to avoid killing she would definitely do, but then she didn't trust Anna, in her current state there was no telling what she would suddenly do, the fact she had let the demon beast transfer most of its power to her body because of greed was already bad enough.
However, she didn't want to outright start attacking her the fact she hadn't shown any hostility yet, seemed like what she said was true and she still had some clarity over her actions although it was not as perfect as Anna had said it to be, but it wasn't to the point where Anna had started to lose her rationality if she showed any signs of hostile or killing intent she would then do everything in her power to get rid of her, but for now she wanted to give her the benefit of doubt and of looking for the stargate or teleportation.
Eventually, after walking for a while, the both of them had arrived at what would be described as a cafeteria, however, compared to the hall they just came from this place was at least much better since the room was much smaller so the LEDs lights in the surrounding were more apparent, so at least they could perfectly make sense of the room as well the things that were in the room.
But then it was just like the previous room they had come from someone seemed to have intentionally taken the lights out, it was as if the like were smashed in order to hide something which made Anna to furrow her burrows as she thought about what had smashed the lights apart, "Did the person who came to this place chased by a beast?"
Anna couldn't help but said out loud, this was the only thing she could come up with since they had seen earlier that someone had arrived at the place before them the only explanation would be the person was chased by a beast, but then if the person was chased by a beast why was the steel door still intact when they arrived?
Anna couldn't help but think to herself for some reason she was beginning to have a bad foreboding, however, the feeling was too shallow to be taken seriously by her it was likely related to the fact that the demon beast was rapidly gaining control over her body this was why she was feeling that way.
