Chapter 192 A Successful Experiment

Steve accelerate towards subject number 2 before she could regain her footing.

*DUAGHHH!*

He slammed his flaming fist into subject number 2's face.

The punch sent her head swinging to the side so hard it made a cracking sound.

Steve couldn't tell if it was from the twisting of her spine or the cracking of the ice covering her face.

Either way, Steve kept throwing punches after that.

*DUAGHH!*

*DUAGHH!*

*DUAGHH!*

Subject number 2 kept releasing frozen steam from her body. And she also continues to use her powers to regenerate her ice armor. It must have consumed quite a bit of her Magic energy.

Right now there isn't enough data for Steve to figure out a way to beat her, other than attacking her over and over again until she runs out of power.

Subject number 2 suddenly swung her ice blade from below toward Steve's stomach.

*CRAAAT!*

Ultimately, Steve, who was still focused on launching an attack, was hit by the sword's swing.

'Shit!'

As soon as he felt a stinging feeling in his stomach, Steve immediately jumped back. But he didn't forget to blast fire toward subject number 2.

*SWOOOSSSHHH!*

Steve landed a few meters from his original spot. He gritted his teeth as he lowered his head to look at his stomach.

There was a slash in his stomach that extended to his chest. The wound also continued to spread frost.

Fortunately, Steve has the ability to let out heat from his body. So he could stop the spreading frost.

Steve felt his instincts scream a warning. He immediately looked up and saw that subject number 2 was hurtling towards him at incredible speed.

Steve immediately crossed his arms in front of his body and received the woman's attack.

*SWIISSSHH!*

The ice blade fell onto Steve's crossed arms. But it didn't take long for the woman to follow her attack.

She spun and moved her legs to kick.

*DOUGHHH!*

However, Steve was again able to hold her leg with his hand.

'Now you take this!'

*SWOOOSSSHHH!*

Steve issued fire from all over his body towards subject number 2.

She let out a loud scream like she was in pain. She tried to jump away but Steve wouldn't let her.

He grabs her feet, which were aimed at his head to kick. Then surge the fire through her feet.

Steve saw the ice covering her feet melt instantly. He could see the look of pain on subject number 2's face.

Maybe now she's got her sense back from the pain.

Steve grinned, he did it subconsciously. He did not feel the slightest pity for the woman. Instead, he seems to be enjoying it.

Steve increased the fire. The ice armor protecting subject number 2's body is now unable to keep up with the damage inflicted by Steve's flames.

So now Steve's fire is starting to burn her feet.

"Don't kill her!"

Suddenly, he heard Thomas's screams from behind. Steve didn't know that he could still hear voices amidst the flames surrounding his body.

'Urghh, this is really annoying!'

In his heart, there is a burning feeling. The feeling was a burning thirst for blood as if it were as big as this blaze.

Subject number 2's ice sword melted and fell on the floor.

Steve restrained himself from throwing a punch to her face. He just shoved subject number 2 until she fell on the floor.

Steve reduced the volume of his fire. Only then did he notice that all around him, several pieces of equipment had caught fire.

Steve also realized that the floor he was stepping on had also been scorched black.

But Steve felt no remorse at all. Instead, he felt a feeling of pleasure that he had never felt before.

Steve clasped his hands together. Feeling a surge of strange yet powerful power passing through every inch of his body.

'This power is amazing.'

A wide grin appeared on his face. He stared at subject number 2 who was sprawled on the floor.

She was no longer awake and all the ice that had previously surrounded her body had melted.

There were several burns on her other body, apart from her leg.

That means the ice armor that protects her body has weakened earlier.

Steve walked over to subject number 2. As it turned out by now, the woman didn't even open her eyes anymore.

'Oh, shit. Did I kill her?'

Steve was starting to get a little worried. But if it did happen he really didn't care.

It's just, he would look a little bad in the eyes of scientists.

But once he thought about it once more, he knew that he was also a valuable subject to them and that this was an accident.

So, he wouldn't be judged as the guilty person here.

Steve crouched down in front of her and pressed a finger to her neck.

'There's still a pulse.'

Steve breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up at the scientists and said. "She's alive."

Thomas and the other scientists breathed a sigh of relief.

Some of them even laughed and clapped their hands in the air. As if expressing the happiness they have been waiting for.

"General, our experiment was successful. We have been able to get humans who can use Magic. After this, we will proceed to the next stage!"

Thomas' words also describe that he is feeling happy. His words were well recorded on tape which finally reached the President.

Present day.

Julius smiled in satisfaction.

"You guys did a great job," Julius said.

After seeing the commotion, Julius thought that it was going to be bad.

He had expected that the experiment subject would escape and cause trouble. But apparently, they showed satisfactory results.

Not only had the subject managed to withstand the lethal side-effect of the Magic core infused into his body, but he was also able to use that power very well.

His common sense is still intact and he can subdue the woman's subject without killing her.

That meant there were now two normal humans who could use Magic.

Julius was of course satisfied with this result.

"What does this next stage mean?" Julius asked.

"We will try to add more experiment subjects, sir."
