NOVEL NEXT Chapter 291 Catalina
'Well. Let's move on to the next point,' I thought as I looked at Irene coming towards me. Her sexy catwalk in those bloodied clothes which didn't cover her entire body gave a strange vibe from her. She looked at me as if she were enchanted by me before reaching really close to me.
"Nice work-" I was about to congratulate her on the new skill and how she grasped most of the basics, but she kept moving until her lips touched mine. Some of that blood got on my lips too, as she kept kissing me for a few seconds.
Separating after she was satisfied, she smiled as she spoke,"This was the best moment of all the three lives that I had lived. I cannot express how happy I am right now."
She was all smiles and laughing as she told me that. She seemed like a little kid who got herself a new year's gift. She would have looked really cute if not for all the blood on her.
I slowly touched my lips as I recalled her kiss before I smiled too before speaking,"sure. It was nothing. Also… there is more work left," and she nodded as she smiled more before looking behind on the opposite side where the lift was.
The lift probably took us to a lower floor where more of the vampires were… or perhaps where the experiment was going on? Whatever this place is, I am going to make sure it gets razed from its very root before leaving from here.
Moving behind Irene for a few moments, I then reached the lift which seemed to be stopped at the '-5th' floor. Not caring much, I pressed the 'UP' button as I activated my skill.
[Time Rejection!]
The lift started working without any problem as I, and Irene waited for it to reach our floor. Took a few minutes since the lift stopped many times in between, but finally it reached our floor.
-Slash!
As soon as the gate opened, 3 vampires jumped at us and died at the hands of Irene, who smiled at me before signaling me to go in first. Smiling at her, I then entered the lift before she followed me.
The lift closed before we started going down and soon at the -1 floor we stopped before the gate opened. The gate led to a hallway that reached the other side about a 100 meters away.
Irene waited for my command, and after giving it some thought, I decided to start from the lowest floor first. So I waited for the lift to close and take us down, which it did after waiting for a few more seconds.
The lift stopped at the lowest floor before it opened the gate. The place was filled with strange equipment and big glasses containing various monstrosities and specimens. As we walked into the room, it got weirder and weirder, as the monsters stopped having a definite form and were now random pieces of flesh contained in a giant flask.
"IIIIII CCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!" A cry was heard from the room, a bit distant from here. It was different from the cries of the bat above, or perhaps from any monsters that I have met before. It felt… painful…
"IIIIICCCCCKKKK!!!" The cry resounded once again, this time a bit louder than before. It seemed like whatever the thing was, it was coming closer to us each and every moment. The steps were pretty much apparent, too.
-BAM!
The walls shook, and the ground vibrated slowly as the cries became more and more apparent. And long before we waited,
"IIIIICCCCCCKKKKKKK!!!!! The sound came from the door as if the being was on the other side of the door. I saw Irene shaking in fear as her body failed to respond. She was having a hard time even standing up, as she was barely keeping herself conscious.
-Thud!
I hit on her back as I made her turn unconscious while the being, whatever it was, started shouting more and more as it banged against the door.
-BANG!
-BANG!
-BANG!
-BOOOOM!!!!
The door broke as the figure of the being came in front of me. It was like a white, human-like girl with the face of a bat. Her eyes were red, barely fitting in the socket and her body was vibrating continuously as she tried to stand there.
"IIIIIICCCCCCCKKKKKK!!!!!" she cried again as all her tears fell down to the ground and
-BOOM!!!
Created an explosion, breaking the floor into pieces.
Step by step, she then started walking towards me, her hands trying to reach for me. Not in a way that she wanted to kill me, but in a way like… she wanted to die. She wanted to be relieved of her suffering…
[Inspect!]
[Name: Catalina Blues
Race: ????
Status: Disfigured
Description: A young girl from Akagawa on whom the drugs worked better than the others due to her high resistance. She was then forced to take part in the worst experiments as time passed. While her body could resist the drugs, her mind wasn't capable of handling it anymore. She turned mad over time as her body began deteriorating but the doctors here kept her alive for further experimentation until she finally lost all her sanity finally becoming an empty shell. All she wants to do is die now. But the doctors kept her confined to the lowest floor until their research would become good enough to use on her again.
Stats…
Skills…]
I closed my eyes as I sighed deeply.
'This was way more than crossing the line, wasn't it?'
I mean, even the zombies weren't this bad. I guess… the military is most of the time shit… well… Let's clean this place thoroughly…
"IIIICCCCCCKKKKKK!!!" That girl… Catalina shouted as she looked at me with empty red eyes. She reached really close to me as I smiled at her.
"It's okay. I'll free you from this pain now. Just sleep," I muttered as I slowly moved the branch from the top to bottom.
[Temporal Redo(Level 4)!]

Cutting her slowly, I then multiplied the effect by 10 times in this case, making her slit from between. I saw that she was rapidly regenerating at a high rate as well…
[Time Rejection!]
I saw her body rapidly deteriorating as she fell to the ground. With slowly losing her bodily vibrations.
[Time Rejection!]
I stopped any defensive or hibernative process. But not stopping there, I also stopped any suicide bombing effects, too.
[Time Rejection!]
And a few minutes later, she finally showed signs of death.

'It was that skill, huh? Aren't I supposed to get it with the quest? I wonder if there is a difference…' I saw as I recalled this skill. While it was limited, it had a wide variety of applications, too. It allowed me to rejuvenate myself and the others at an insane speed, and even regenerate energy too.
-Whoosh!!
A sword slash came out of nowhere in the [Foresight] as I simply dodged it. Looking at the sexy body of the sword girl, I saw her taking a step back as she looked at me through that white mask of hers.
"Who might you be now?" I asked as I observed her looking at me with a slight hesitant gaze.
"Heh… I would like to throw the question back at you… barging in this base as if it's nothing and killing thousands of our soldiers like ants, just who exactly are you?" she spoke as she looked at me with her eyes turning red.
Her black shorts and that bikini top she was wearing were revealing a little too much of her body. The only thing properly covered was her face, which even failed to hide her ponytail hair behind her. Though looking at her pure white snow-like body, made me think a little… as I observed the quest…
[Save the Dhampir!]
[Description: The Old Vampire, Veriscene, once fell in love with a human. It wasn't a happy story as the human got killed by the Stray Vampire Knight, Demigo, though he left a seed inside Veriscene, which later bloomed to become the Half Vampire Half Human, Dhampir, with the strange ability to manipulate dark matter. Fascinated by his ability, the Vampire Knight stole the kid from Veriscene, leaving her powerless as she just bit her lips and kept silent. But the fire to save her kid still lingers inside Veriscene.

"You are the Dhampir, the daughter of Veriscene, aren't you?" I asked her with a smile as I saw this quest reaching its final part pretty quick and pretty neat.
