Chapter 62: CH 062: Third Beast Attack (MR 4)
After White had uttered his words, the lab’s security system had immediately been activated. The entire doors of the lab slid shut with a metallic clang, trapping those that were inside in it.
Right after, a piercing beeping sound echoed through the corridors, followed by a robotic voice that sent chills down Dave’s spines.
"Laboratory self-destruct activated!"
"T-Minus in 10 minutes!" The countdown had begun, and whatever Dave was planning to do, he has to do it quick and fast or he might not make it out alive.
Seeing what had just unfolded, Dave’s eyes widened in anger as he turned to face White, his fist flying towards the man’s face.
"You bastard," he growled, punching White with a ferocity that was tempered only by the system’s punishment that had nulled his abilities.
The punch landed with a dull thud, and White stumbled backward, clutching his jaw. Lucky for White, Dave wasn’t in his OP mode, and the punch didn’t have the same devastating impact that it would have had on him, or he might have collapsed and died from just a single hit.
The one hour free-time duration was up, and the system’s punishment was already in effect, reducing Dave’s stats and abilities to that of a normal human. He couldn’t fight like he used to, nor use his beast-taming abilities to summon his powerful allies.
However, as he glanced at the hybrids standing beside him, he discovered that he could still control them. A wave of relief washed over him as he realized that he had something he could rely on during this crisis.
Dave assumed that his ability to control the hybrids was because they weren’t pure beasts but rather hybrids, perhaps due to them being half human, half beast.
It could be that he could control their human side but not their beast side. Whatever the reason, he was grateful to have the hybrids by his side. The hybrids stood motionless, awaiting his commands, and Dave felt a sense of determination rising within him.
