Chapter 105: A New Competition

Tia barely had time to gasp before the particle of darkness, ensconced in a bubble of red energy, made contact with her skin. A torrent of cold, electric energy surged through her body, rendering her motionless. The red bubble dispersed, and the darkness sank into her as if absorbed by her very soul.

Tia's eyes widened, the torrent of pain surging through her, its searing touch igniting every nerve and every cell.

"Ahhh!" Her scream reverberated through the vault.

Power, unbridled and merciless, raged within her. Tia's legs buckled, her strength yielding to the onslaught of energy, the hard metal floor quickly approaching.

However, at the last moment, warmth enveloped her, the pair of red eyes staring into her own. Red-Eye was holding her, stopping her from collapsing.

"The first time is always the worst." The gentle voice resonated in her ears, piercing through the layers of pain.

Tia's vision quickly darkened.

POV ???:

In the depths of darkness, a figure in a black officer uniform knelt, barely visible and blending with the shadows. His face was concealed by the darkness that was only broken by the small device resting in his hand.

It cast a bright blue light that played along the fine details of his uniform, illuminating the polished silver buttons and intricate designs woven into the fabric.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

"Casmodeus 15 is here," he announced, his voice cutting through the silence with cold, crisp clarity.

The device vibrated gently, and a mechanical voice respondeddistorted but clear: "Prepare to strike. From our intel, Subject-3 will leave to inspect her territories soon. That will be your chance."

The blue light from the device's screen dissipated, submerging everything back into silence and darkness. In the absolute black, the officer's eyes gleamed with a transient golden light.

'I can't fail.' He stood up, only his mission occupying his mind, as everything else wasn't important.
