My Dragon System-Chapter 447: Stronger then an Emperor
Once again, Slyvia had fallen to the floor, only this time it looked like she had passed out from the sudden injection of the three syringes.
'Why would she do such a thing?' Martha thought, confused as she rushed over towards her. Then as soon as she was within attack range, something jolted in her body. A shiver ran down her spine, and every instinct was telling her to get away. She had paused for a second, not wanting to take a step further.
"What's wrong?" Roy asked. He was still at the back of the room. The only reason he hadn't quite run to her aid was that he was waiting to see what would happen. Who knows what was in those injections that they so desperately wanted them to take.
Now seeing Sylvia on the floor like that. He was thankful he didn't give in just for a small meal. However, a few seconds later, and it looked like she was starting to wake up. A few groans here and there and her arms started twitching.
"You're okay," Martha said with a smile.
Lifting her head up, Martha gulped she could see she was not okay at all. Her left eye no longer had any white in it, for it had completely been taken over by a purple shadow, and it looked as if it was starting to creep into the other side.
'No, is she becoming a true infected?'
"Hey, stand back," Roy said, as he finally got the courage to pull Martha back to where he was.
Sweat was heavily running down Slyvia's forehead, and she was gritting her teeth as if she was in great pain. Inside, she could feel that a force was trying to take over her.
'No! I won't let you!' Slyvia thought.
She could tell something wanted to control her. The fight and struggle continued back and forth. Slyvia now was screaming once in a while and pounding her fist on the floor.
"Did the liquid make her go mad!" Roy commented.
Martha couldn't take it anymore. No matter what happened to her, she needed someone by her side. Breaking away from Roy, she dashed over and was with Slyvia in seconds. The same dreaded feeling was being felt from Slyvia as she got close again, but this time she did everything she could to ignore it.
And then she went one further, grabbing onto Sylvia's hand.
"I know, I'm here sweetie. We all are, we can fix this." Martha said. "Ray will fix this."
Hearing Martha's voice and feeling her touch by her side, was only making her fight that much stronger. Then the mention of the name Ray, added to her determination. She wasn't going to let this thing win.
Finally, after a few minutes, the sweating stopped. There were no more groans of pain, and Martha could feel that her hand was no longer being squeezed.
"Thank you." Sylvia said in a soft calm voice with a smile.
But it wasn't all good news. When looking at her, Martha could still see that her left eye was still filled with shadows. Maybe they were able to suppress the shadow for now. But who knows when it would come back.
"Why did you take the injections, Slyvia, we still can't get out," Martha asked.
"Something, someone was telling me too."
"Who?" Martha asked.
"Something's coming," Slyvia said as she stood up, and placed Martha behind her back. Before taking a few steps back towards the door. A few screams were heard from outside, but it didn't take long for them to stop.
A few footsteps were heard from just outside the door, and finally, the door that looked to be almost unbreakable. It was pulled open. Standing there in front of the door was a human type beast.
Its body and head were like that of an ant, yet it stood on two legs and was standing just like a man. The girls could see it was infected, and the shadows around its body would imitate that of a true infected.
It looked towards the three of them in the room, then looked Sylvia in the eye. The two made eye contact, and not a single person had moved. All three of them in the room felt like they could no longer breathe.
They had never felt pressure like this ever before.
With a blink, the shadow ant had disappeared out of sight. The pressure was lifted.
"I can't believe we just survived that," Roy said. He now too was covered in sweat.
"What was that? Was it a beast, but it looked like a human, and a true infected at the same time." Martha asked.
"That, it was a beast, but not just any beats. Humanoid beasts are very rare. There in a class of their own. Most likely, that beast was even above the emperor tier, and it was infected on top of that. Even if I used all my strength. I don't think I would have been able to kill that thing." Roy explained.
Now that two girls truly released how lucky there were that the beast chose to leave them alone. The question was why, and the voice in her head from before. She thought it was coming from the shadow, but was it actually coming from the shadow ant.
Not wasting any more time the three ran out into the hallway, only to see a gruesome scene. The hallway was filled with blood, and around ten knights had been killed. There was no one left alive, and every single one of the doors were open.
Now out of the room, they could hear sounds a lot clearer. They could hear the sound of screaming coming from outside.
"Come on. Let's get out of here." Slyvia said.
Going through the research facility, they could see that it looked like every single knight, or guard was dead, including the doctors. They were starting to wonder if the Shadow ant had caused this, but when they arrived on the first floor.
They could also see some dead beasts there as well. Something had broken all the shadow beasts in the facility free. For every single one of the doors was open. They stood there for a moment, looking at the scene. The noise outside was heard again, which snapped their attention, and the three of them ran outside to what looked like a war scene.
The guards, the people were all busy fighting, running away or hiding from the beasts that had escaped from the facility. There were beasts of all sorts of levels. When looking around the three were trying to see if they could see the ant beast anywhere.
Most of the beasts were insect-based, and there were a few that looked like ants, but none that walked like a human or had the same amount of pressure emptying from it as the last one.
That's when they spotted two people they recognised.
"Hey, isn't that Kyle and Harry!" Martha pointed.
Martha knew their beast forms, so even though they looked a little different, she could spot them clearly. Right now, they both had people held in their arms, and were fighting the same, Mantic like beast from earlier.
Still, they had no weapons in their hands, and they were unable to hurt it. Their hearts were too kind, and they had tried to save some people from the onslaught before getting their weapons.
"You're friends are idiots like you two I see. The beast there fighting against looks strong. They'll die if they don't start thinking about themselves."
Before Roy could say anymore, Martha already was running off in a certain direction. The registration centre where their weapons were stored.
The two boys were still in thier beast form. It was only because of this they survived. When the beast had gotten out of the room. It continued to free the other beasts from the doors one by one. Kyle and Harry used this chance to leave the facility, only to find people getting hurt by other beasts infected by the shadow left and right.
They had saved many lives and had two people In their hands right now. But for some reason, the beast from before was hot on their tail after freeing their friends. It was going to finish them off before it attacked anyone else.
"Why does this thing hate us?" Kyle said, using his black sash footwork to avoid the strikes, but keeping up such things was trying. Harry had managed to find a couple of swords from the dead guards, but the second he tried using them, they had been in Half.
He wasn't even sure if his weapons would be able to last so long against a beast.
Finally, the two of them were tiring, and it looked like it would be the end. Even if they dropped the people, they had with them. They would be too slow for this beast.
Then, multiple objects went straight past their head, hitting the beats in the body. A fireball, and an arrow.
It had stopped the beast for a second, but still didn't do any significant damage.
'Come on, let's do this together." A voice that both of the boys recognised said. Putting the people down, they immediately ran away and when they turned. They could see the two girls and a strange man with them.
The first thing they did was hand both Kyle and Harry their weapons.
"If were are together, we should be able to take down that thing," Sylvia said.
Kyle, and both Harry noticed her purple eye, but they chose not to say anything. Right now, they needed to deal with the problem in front of them. The beast cried out in anger, with a vengeance to kill them all.
