"Yes... is... me..." The words came out chopped, like he was struggling to speak. The voice was quite human-like, but it was still somewhat unpleasant to the ears. "You... grown... up..." As others were fighting against the monsters, the situation on Amora’s side was a contrast to the gruesome battlefield. Zerra narrowed her eyes. Ever since this monster came closer toward them, it was as if most of the other monsters steered clear of him. She glanced at the man curled up on the wooden floor. He looked like he was in pain, but he would occasionally pay attention to her side. His lips currently were curved up in a sneer, but soon he pursed his lips. His emotions were replaced by unwillingness and other kinds of chaotic emotions. He also couldn’t entirely control his behavior or feelings. She tried to discover a clue in his expressions, but so far she had found nothing. The man seemed to be engrossed in his own delusional world. On Amora’s side, something strange had happened. The more the monster talked, the smoother his voice became. Suddenly, Zerra sensed something was wrong. However, it happened too quickly. Since Amora had stepped out of Cassias’ mental barrier, which also ward off other monsters, she became more vulnerable. "Amora!" Amorric’s heart lurched. Out of nowhere, a monster with incredible speed attacked her. It seemed to be among the last ones coming from the large room, where it had housed a relatively powerful monster. Amorric leaped quickly, kicking Amora away as she slid a few meters from her original spot. "Sister Amora!" Zerra called out, hurriedly running toward her. She helped her stand. Some of her skin was scraped, but there were no fatal injuries. The monster, who was their uncle, stood stiffly, as if the soul inside was fighting against his feral urges. As Amorric fought against the monster possessing quick speed, it could do nothing. Unfortunately, there wasn’t just one monster with strange abilities that had come out. There were more; they were crawling and charging toward any target they saw. It didn’t matter whether other monsters were already fighting the target. They would still go against the person, and soon, most ability users were overwhelmed. After Zerra stepped out of Cassias’ mental barrier, he also went to take care of the monsters. After all, others have started to get overwhelmed by the numbers. It left Amorric fighting alone beside his uncle. Amora’s eyes widened in disbelief. Her voice was trembling with rage. "Uncle, how could you?!" Zerra looked up, and her pupils constricted in shock. Everything had happened so fast that others didn’t have time to react. Amora left her side, jumping toward her cousin. As Amorric was dealing with the quick speed monster, their uncle in his monster form had thrust his elongated nail into Amorric’s shoulder. Blood instantly poured out like a waterfall. Before it could embed its second claw, Amora raised her axe and chopped down. The monster’s hand was forcefully pulled out of Amorric’s shoulder in an instant. Zerra didn’t stay idle. She dealt with the other monster so that it wouldn’t attack the pair of cousins. Everything was so strange... there was something she couldn’t quite put her finger on. "How are you feeling?" Amora asked tremblingly to her cousin. Guilt, rage, and incredulity mixed into one. Amorric let out a groan of pain, his face twisted. At this moment, the monster came at them again. Amora was forced to pay her full attention to the monster, fighting it with tears in eyes. She shielded Amorric behind her, not allowing the monster to pass through. If only she hadn’t recklessly believed it... unfortunately, there wasn’t any medicine for regret in this world. The man’s laughter reverberated loudly as he witnessed the sight. He looked so elated that he choked a few times because of his incessant laughter. "Believing a monster. Little girl, you are so naïve!" He mocked. "That injured man is your cousin, eh?" He let out a gleeful chuckle. "He is going to die soon. He is infected with the zombie virus! Without the method of our great scientist, he will be a zombie." Amora usually wasn’t one to be easily affected by any words of insult, but on top of her chaotic emotions and guilt, it sent her into a breakdown, especially when his words hit the nail on the head. She was enveloped in great fear. If Amorric were to be gone, it meant she would be alone. Her uncle was also gone, replaced by this deceitful monster. Wasn’t it better if all of them to perish together...? "Sister Amora, snap out of it!" Zerra yelled at her. The monster she was dealing with wasn’t that strong, but it was tricky. That thing moved like a shadow, and she couldn’t find its heart for the time being. However, she still heard the words that man uttered. "Don’t give up. There might be a way to save your cousin. Are you going to fall for his words so easily?" Zerra said everything in one breath. Amora was a kind and down-to-earth person, so she didn’t want anything to happen to her. "Amora, don’t listen to him. I am fine." Amorric tore his shirt and used it on the wound on his shoulder. His face was pale, twisting in pain as he gritted his teeth. The light in Amora’s eyes was reignited in an instant. She was desperately trying to fight against the monster, her heart growing more determined by the second. The man laughed again. He clicked his tongue in disdain. "Tsk, the little girl doesn’t believe me. If you want to continue doing useless things, then do so. You will regret it later." This time, she didn’t falter and ignored him. Zerra was forced to use her spiritual power to lock onto the shadowy monster. She thrust her pitchfork at it repeatedly. Each failure didn’t make her falter. The fight wasn’t without casualties. Some people were already dead because they were killed by the traitorous ability users from the Research Institute. Now the number of casualties grew again. More and more people were injured. Some fell into the hands of the monsters and became their food. Zerra’s breathing became heavier the moment she swept her senses across the battlefield nearby. She had to solve this fight quickly and help others! Thus, she was forced to use the majority of her spiritual power to lock onto the monster. It couldn’t go on any longer, because the longer the fight dragged on, the more spiritual power she needed to consume. Locking onto a target that was moving too fast and actively paying attention to it was too straining for her. She panted heavily, collapsing to her knees after she stabbed the monster. Its heart exploded, sending rotten blood to her face. As soon as she regulated her breathing, she ran toward Amora. "Let’s kill it, Zizi." She wiped her tears. "It’s not my uncle. It’s just a creature stealing my uncle’s body!" Zerra nodded, and the sound of her whip reverberated. She needed to bind the creature and let Amora do it. Otherwise, if the monster was killed by someone else, it might leave a knot in her heart later. The way Zerra used her whip wasn’t as proficient when she used her pitchfork, but it should be good for now. Her whips wrapped around the monster’s neck. It raged at her, and she was forced to evade its attacks a few times. As she dealt with the monster, she was quite baffled. She felt as if the monster was being quite lenient with Amora. It was subtle. The attack on her seemed to be dangerous, but it wasn’t aimed at vital spots like Amorric earlier. He was lucky enough to evade the monster’s nail in time, so it didn’t puncture his skull. She took a deep breath and pursed her lips. Amora’s uncle might have tried to kill Amorric. But it was better for Amora not to know about this. Get full chapters from 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵 In the monster form, its emotions must have been amplified a few times over. Thus, unsolved grievances could lead to such an accident. His action could be either the result of his overwhelming emotions, or even deliberate action. They were the monster’s last words before Amora’s axe chopped at it, embedding deep into its heart. And all of a sudden, a strange thing happened. Its eyes turned completely black before the head exploded, sending chunks of flesh and blood everywhere. Zerra let go of her whip, following after Amora, who was dragging herself toward Amorric in absolute devastation. She didn’t know how to console her. The monster had said these words using her uncle’s human voice. It was unknown whether it was he or the monster who had said that, but obviously it had bothered Amora, who was now sobbing uncontrollably while hugging Amorric. Unfortunately, the turmoil didn’t end there. After the monster’s death, it seemed to have triggered other monsters. "You are so dead!" Even the man became solemn when he noticed the surrounding situation. More monsters had broken free from other large rooms.
