Chapter 6 - CH 5: RAMPANT TEST

[Mana circles around Adam, entering his body.]

It's been a busy two years than I thought but it wasn't a waste, [ as he releases denser mana in his hands.] finally a second circle. This took longer than imagined but this is better than what the book said, this pure mana I release is a good sign, using my other internal organs as filters was consideration but its doing better than expected though not perfect.

[Standing up and wears the rope.]

Can't really say the book was perfect in it's instructions, he wasn't just completely sure of himself.

[Leaves his room.]

Now, let me go see my golden goose, maybe he got something for me.

***

He walks around, seeing the place. The place was doing better now that most of the funds are going to the church, as Adam pockets some, less than the father. He got to do something important with it.

***

[Spotting sig doing a workout, though ten, is moderately fit.]

"Hey sig, how's it going?"

Stops and looks. "It's going great. The list you gave me is helpful, but I can only see some changes. "

"Don't expect much, this only helps the bone growth and sturdiness. Just cause you regenerate doesn't mean you can't lose a part of yourself. "

"Soon though, I'll start breaking them."

"Whaa...."

"Don't be that shocked, it will help harden. And since you regenerate, it'll be better in a short time, and continue the process so to make you stronger. "

"And were did you hear that from?"

"Does it really matter, cause we got to worry about something else. Some new guys in the city were spotted going down the Black market. It looks there looking for something, or someone."

"What we going to do about it, cause I don't think fighting can help out in this situation. "

"We're not fighting, but they might pass by the church tomorrow. "

"And why you think that?"

"Intuition maybe."

[The next day, two large men in cloaks arrive at the door, one knocks and Adam opens.]

"Hello sir's. What brings you this morning to the Dovus church?"

Look at each other before one removes the cloak. "We're here to ask questions about the father of this church. Heard he went missing a few years back."

"Ooh, [showing them in.] Then this way to the head nun's office."

[Walking down the hallway. ]

"Don't know if this can help but the father hasn't really left anything behind when he disappeared. He seemed to be running away from someone."

Since we buried everything he has with him, but the won't think much of it. Planting the thought he got chased out with all he got even with important works. Might let them think that they got something going on.

"Really kid, did you see that happen."

"No but I saw him in a hurry in the late night when I was done with my duties."

"You saw him in a rush. That might help."

"Umm, and can I ask you a question?"

"Yea, shoot."

"Why did you come late. By now he could have moved very far, you might not even catch up."

"Something held us up, can't say further than that and even if I did, you won't understand. "

"OK, [ as they reach the head nun's door.] Here is her office. I'll be on my way."

[As he goes and dissappear from there view.]

Looking at each other. "Hey Will, did you think that kid was...."

"Odd, yea mick. He felt like he was mimicking, like none of him was actually him."

"He gave me a disgusting feeling. Like he was searching through me."

"His purple eyes does give off that glow, like those from the war."

[They stand for abit before going in and talking with the nun.]

***

The two guys questioned the nun and soon after left going to there rooms. Adam followed from a distance and later watched them for a bit before seeing a slums guy.

***

[Minutes later as they both sit on there beds.]

"We really can't find a lousy father."

"This is annoying, and we got to keep a lookout of those crows."

"The king already called them of remember. They got another kingdom to spy on."

"Yea...."

[Suddenly a loud crash can be heard downstairs. ]

"What is that..."

***

They rush down to see a ragged man, all over his body veins glowing blue, seems to not be in his right mind but his crushing and destroying everything inside the building.

Will draws out his sword running at him, slashing low when he dodged and hit him at the liver causing him to cough out for a second, mick appearing behind him aiming for the neck just for the man to sacrifice his arm and hit him sending him flying to the wall.

***

"What is that thing. Can't land a hit on him."

"I don't know, maybe from the labyrinth."

[Trying to stand up.]

"Then why target this place, further from the damn gate."

"Don't know."

***

Not long before the city guards arrive and surround him, spears at the ready to attack. Then it's starts to convulsed, vibrating very fast and foaming out the mouth, the suddenly his whole back explodes. Everyone standing there being there surprised and shocked to see what just happened. Coming to there senses they help the two injured men taking them to the doctor. At a distance from above a building sits Adam. He was watching.

***

Didn't expect the guards to come fast, this might cause me trouble, the next best action for them will be being on high alert. Can't pull the human tests for a while.

[Looking at the guys getting help.]

Thought they might be stronger, that's dissatisfied me. Couldn't test out the full parasite technique I made with mana. Removing pain, controlling the mind and removing the human limits takes time, and the mana given is lost. If it was gonna be that way then this was a waste.

[Standing up.]

But thats not all that bad.

[Jumping into the alleys. ]

It's interesting to see something work in a way. Maybe I should give this a name. Mhmmm, I think DEADMAN PARASITE MAGIC. His living but already dead.
