"Those two are only innocent villagers, but you killed them mercilessly without remorse!"
"Have you gone mad? Your friend who escaped killed them. What does that have to do with me?" Erian smiled contemptuously.
"No one will believe you. Now that the others have escaped, everyone will know. Its only a matter of time before- ppfttt!!!"
Fu Tian watched in horror as his chest opened up like a flower. Erian dragged claws from Fu Tian's neck down to his waist in a single line.
"Squash!"
Innards, organs and stomach fluid spilt out like an opened dam. Blood gushed out as though it was tap water.
Terror filled Fu Tian's face as he scrambled to pick up his organs from the ground and struggled to place them within him. He was opened up alive.
Erian ignored him. His expression kept changing as he could hear the sounds of Black Tiger members fleeing. When they got out, they were sure to tell people what transpired and he would be investigated.
When the Enforcers arrive, they would detain him for questioning, making him miss the entrance examination. With how influencial the Black Tiger gang was, especially that unknown masked man, he would certainly be in trouble.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtErian's gaze suddenly hardened. They might be fellow villagers but so what? If he had to kill a few people to survive, he would make that decision a few hundred times.
"BANG!"
The ground exploded and a tremendous amount of radiation energy erupted with it. Every thing a few inches around his feet exploded into smithereens along with Fu Tian's large intestine. If there was hope he could survive with the vigorous vitality of an Enhanced, that hope had exploded along with everything else.
Erisn transformed into a dark blur as he vanished, everyone he saw in his way were mercilessly slaughtered. Even the female prostitutes fleeing the premises had their chest caved and their hearts ruptured before they had any idea what had happened, they had died.
'While I won't let you live, I can at least grant you a swift death.'
About twenty minutes later, Erian returned to the hall. His face was solemn, but his expression kept changing slightly as his heart pounded rapidly.
Fu Tian was still alive, but barely. His breathing was shallow as he choked on his blood.
"K-kill... mmee!" His eyes revealed a pleading expression as he begged.
Erian sat next to him as though he hadn't heard his words. His eyes fixated on the ground, deep in though.
'Can I absorb and convert a human while it's still alive?' Erian pondered seriously.
He glanced at the still breathing Fu Tian. Fu Tian rigidly saw Erian reaching out to him, thinking Erian was about to finish him up, he gave up struggling.
Suddenly, his expression changed as he felt the energy in his entire body was being drained out of him. His mouth opened but instead of words, foam made from blood, spot and stomach acid continuously escaped his mouth.
Whoosh!
His body dissappeares like a phantom as Erian place him within his Transmutater.
[+5 Strength]
"It worked." Erian was delighted absorbing a life human actually gave him way more points than when they are dead!
Suddenly, he felt his heart settle at Fu Tian and Blake's death it was as though he had been given a great massage by a famous masseur!
"Clang!"
The sound of chains breaking sounded from within him. Abruptly, Erian felt his body was as free as a ghost. As the chain within him broke.
Closing his eyes, Erian could SEE a thick glowing vein near his heart pulse along with his heart. But it didn't seem to pulse only blood, but instead beat purr nuclear power.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe nuclear power within his body were previously flowing around his body through his channels, like a pipe.
But now, it was as though his entire body was the body of a river and the nuclear energy was the river itself. His muscles, bones, tissues and cells permeated with energy making him flooded with power.
Previously he had to accumulate energy before bursting out but now, he could achieve an instant burst of energy without fearing that his veins would exploded.
"Bang! Bang!"
Nuclear power burst out from the sole of his feet, propelling him forwards but then, another exploded from the other feet, halting his movement in the blink of an eye.
"Nuclear Pulse Awakened ." Erian clenched his fist tightly, the glee on his face was contagious. After so many days of hardship, he was finally able to awaken. Through conventional means, he wouldn't have been able to awaken his pulse in his lifetime added wuth the next but with the assistance of the chip, he was finally able to accomplish it.
Clenching his fist, he sent his to the pulse. The glowing vein thumped as stream a of pure radiation flowed through his veins along with blood.
All of a sudden, hot-cold steam exited his fist like a steam engine, but there was no reaction when it came in contact with the atmosphere.
Erian's joy faded by a bit as he smiled bitterly. "No attribute."
Although it was rare, a few high level Enhanced awaken some attribute the moment their nuclear pulse awaken, granting them even more strength. They call these nuclear pulse, Mutated Nuclear pulse.
These mutated pulse or vein excrete pure innate substance once mixed with radiation and air, produced special reactions or chain reactions. Like fuel to spark, creating fire in the blink of an eye.
While he was slightly disappointed he didn't awaken a mutated Vein, Erian was still glad he at least got the vein. Now with the necessary equipment, becoming a Titan shifter was only a matter of time.
