Chapter 48: CH 048: Beast Crystal (MR 2)
At the time when the hybrids had surrounded him and transformed into their full beast forms, a sudden notification had flashed above Dave’s eyes.
[A group of transformed hybrids has been discovered. Do you wish to tame them?]
[They will be added to the list of tamed beasts. And like normal beasts, they can be controlled and given commands]
Dave’s eyes widened as he processed the message. This was an unexpected opportunity, and a good one at that. The chance to tame these powerful hybrids would be a game-changer. His mind raced with possibilities, but the excitement quickly turned to frustration as he considered the limitations.
His energy points were too low to tame all five of them. The most he could manage was three. But even that option was now out of reach. The five-minute duration for his powers was over, and his abilities has been nulled. His window to tame them had closed as he would have to wait for another thirty minutes, after the beast attack had ended.
With a heavy sigh, Dave realized there was no choice but to surrender. His powers and abilities were gone, and fighting now was a lost cause.
With that, he was taken along with Eric and Ella into a large building, the entrance marked with the words ’White Laboratory’ in bold letters. The imposing structure loomed in front of him, but Dave’s thoughts remained clouded by the missed opportunity.
They were led into a sterile, small room, where each of them was roughly strapped to a chair. The metallic clink of the restraints echoed in the silence as the men left, their heavy boots fading away down the corridor. Only one man remained, stationed outside the door as a guard.
Ella shifted uncomfortably in her seat, her eyes darting nervously between Dave and Eric. The tension in the room was palpable.
