Chapter 212: Chapter 212 Taking Action.

The limousine that Serafina and the girls rode stopped a bit far away from the building, where the white van entered. Serafina with a phone near her ear, and she was speaking with her attendant.

"Right, Violet. I will give you ten minutes to arrive here and permission to bring as much as you can, an awakener on our sides also, if possible, someone you could find in the surroundings".

After finishing with her business, Serafina put the phone inside her pocket and felt a pair of two gazes looking at her in worry. This couldn't be helped because the two girls were still unaware of the situation.

"Senior Sera, what exactly is happening?".

"The white van is already entering that building. Why are we stopping here?".

Hina and Xiao Lian skipped past their curiosity because of the situation and began to throw it at Serafina. They want to know about what sort of problem they have been involved with.

Serafina, whose limbs were tied, could only sigh. After seeing the earlier event, she tried to regulate her breathing to prepare her mind. It brought back the dark memories she had sealed inside the depth of her consciousness.

"Do you guys know about Project Red?".

"?!".

"Mm, I have heard about that from my aunt. It was some vile act that was conducted by a demon race who hid in the shadows for years to turn humans into their own kind". seaʀᴄh thё ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"You sure know about the info, Xiao Lian; no wonder, considering who your family is. Yeah, as Xiao Lian said, that was a vile act that we must stop no matter what, and… Hina? What's wrong?!".

When Xiao Lian and Serafina confirmed each other intel, they found out that Hina suddenly turned quiet; it piqued their interest, but when they saw Hina's expression. Their faces stiffened because of Hina's scary expression, which they had seen for the first time ever since they had known her.

Hina's eyes were devoid of any light, and they were shrouded in a dark flame, full of hatred upon hearing the name of Project Red. Her hand clenched so hard that it leaves a red trail upon her unblemished palms.

Project Red, the words that she heard when the night Soma decided to reveal his past and make her aware of her own foolishness. Those people who took him and caged him while conducting many horrible acts that made him suffer for all the years he had been living.

Soma, who holds a special place in her heart, there is no way that she couldn't sit still after hearing that term. Unconsciously, she speaks his name. Worry shrouds her mind despite her heart holding an intense rage that could erupt at any time.

"Soma!".

Hina cast her gaze forward toward the building the kids had taken in, and she began to race her mind behind the act Soma had conducted a moment ago. As he is the one who holds deep enmity with them, he probably wants to stop the project or, worse, destroy the facility.

Serafina and Xiao Lian, who regained their clarity, looked toward the building once more, following Hina's eyes, which still carried intense darkness. "Soma, no matter what you do, I'll always support your decision". Hina muttered.

"Senior, Sera?".

"Yes Hina, what's the matter?".

"Who is the owner of that building?".

***

After discovering the anomaly in the four intersections earlier, Soma decides to halt his search and focus his attention on what's in front of him. He follows the two men with light steps, careful not to be found out.

Soma was currently walking on the straight path of the hallway, which looked bleak with no sign of life and filled with dimly lit lamps across the upper corners, casting soft shadows upon the floor.

Luckily, Soma's current equipment was an Epic-Grade. So, his stealth could erase not only his physique but also his heat and mana, albeit slightly. Because of that, Soma could escape the security that he was unaware of and detect an anomaly within the surrounding mana. But, overall, he was safe until he finally arrived at the vast and bright place.

The interior was a vast warehouse that could fit even a Plane, but the entrance door was not meant to fit in the plane. In the other middle area of the place stood the white van Soma had followed earlier.

After they saw the scientist approach From within the van, they opened the door, jumped down from their seat, and faced the scientist. The shorter man who was in charge spread his lips, showing his yellow teeth while rubbing his palms together, ready to talk about business.

However, the moment the distance shortened, the tall man, with everyone surprised, dashed forward, creating afterimages that stunned the short and the two scientists.

"Show yourself!".

Soma saw the accelerating tall man approaching his place, knitting his brows as he waited for the right moment before leaping back to create some distance. The tall man's fist crashed to the ground, making a little dent that shook the two scientists' hearts, and their faces turned blue.

"What is it, Gor?".

"No, I feel there is someone behind them".

"Someone?".

The shorter man who heard Gor's explanation slightly knitted his brows and began to check his surroundings, using the strange undulation from the atmosphere mana, but sadly, he found nothing. It seems his skill was not sufficient enough to see Soma.

However, even though he failed, he kept his senses sharp, wary about the someone that Gor had told him. Even though Gor looks like an idiot, his instinct is top-notch, like that of an animal.

"Okay, Gor, you try to trace that someone is, and you scientists come here!".

The two scientists, who were still oblivious to the situation, nodded their heads several times and approached the short man. However, the moment after the two scientists moved their feet, a sudden jolt that slammed the short man's body unfolded, making his body bend in an unnatural way.

A cracking sound echoed inside the vast and empty room, making the people who heard it turn pale; the short man got blown away to the side with his left cheek dented and his jaw broken.

A pulse of tiny crimson bolts appeared from the short man standing a moment ago, stunned the people who watched the spectacles. A room suddenly turned hushed without any sound; they were stiffened by the appearance of the young boy clad in crimson lightning with a furious expression on his face that made the two scientist's legs soften as their butt flopped to the floor.

"Boss! You dare?!".

Gor, who saw his boss being blown away with a severe injury on his jaw, his eyes turned red and the aura around his body spiked up, creating a shockwave that made the surrounding air tremble. His slightly bulky body started to bulge in more ways, from his current medium-built body turned into a heavy one with blue veins that protruded on his skin.

"Aaah, Die!".

With Gor's strengthened physique, he disappeared from his place and lunged toward Soma like a mad bull trying to face him head-on.

However, there is something he is mistaken about. Soma had already activated his Martial Saint Technique, which didn't need mana for activation, and enhanced his Agility by more than two hundred percent. Gor movement in his eyes feels slow and without wasting his time. Soma tensed the muscles around his body and gathered his strength on his right foot.

"Hmph, not a chance".

Soma planted his left foot firmly on the ground and shifted the center of gravity of his body to gain more strength upon the contact. With a fluid stroke, he thrust his right foot in a straight kick, letting all the weight over his body transfer into a single point.

A thundering boom resonated, making the surrounding air blast in chaotic ways, the sound of broken bones and crushed flesh mixed within, creating a symphony of the terrors from Soma's might.

[You gained Exp!]

"So, he dies?".
