"!!!" All of them widened their eyes in shock.

Nathan immediately asked, "Anyone can explain it to me right now?"

"This is just a baseless accusation." A soldier shouted.

"And now you're going with this baseless accusation route after doing that to me?" Nathan squinted his eyes.

David inspected the glove closely and said, "They were being torn apart from the inside. It was as if a hand turned into a claw. This is strange. I have never encountered something like this. Is there someone who can turn into anything other than a human?"

The answer was obvious. It shouldn't be possible. If it was possible, they shouldn't have been the first ones to experience it.

However, the evidence was clear.

The moment the suspicion was clear, Selena immediately summoned all three familiars, ready to fight.

Nathan couldn't help but squint his eyes before saying, "The solution is actually simple. Since everyone is a suspect, why don't we test it with this glove and see whose hand actually fits this glove? No. It's even better if all of you can take off your gloves first."

Nathan glanced at the soldiers, specifically their hands. All of them were wearing gloves, so it was clear they were hiding something.

"I have nothing to hide. I'm not the culprit!" The guy, who talked the most, took off his glove and showed his hand. "Come. That's not my glove."

As expected, the guy tested it, and the size didn't match. He said to his fellow knights. "Come on, guys. Just show him it's not us. The summoner is trying to pin the blame on us."

The other five people exchanged looks as if they were afraid. There was a chance the culprit used their glove without their knowledge, so they didn't really want to do it, lest the blame suddenly shift to them even though they hadn't done anything.

"What's wrong?!" The guy asked out loud, getting angry because their refusal just made him look bad.

David nodded. "Let's do it that way. Everyone, follow my order. Take off your glove and test it. Those who refuse just prove that they are guilty."

They gulped down. It seemed they had no other choice but to follow the instruction.

One of them stepped forward and tested the glove, but the guy looked relieved when he saw his hand was smaller than the glove.

The next person also did the same and was found not guilty. That left only two soldiers left.

If the culprit was not among them, it meant they had to start from the beginning again.

However, when the fifth person was about to take off his glove, he suddenly leaped forth, stretching his hand toward Nathan as if he wanted to kill him.

Nathan's expression remained calm as Fenrir suddenly stood on his way and slapped that hand.

"!!!" All of them looked surprised because the culprit was indeed one of them.

When they took a closer look at the hand that almost reached Nathan, it had actually changed talon-like hands similar to Sasha's.

David gritted his teeth and shouted, "Capture him!"

There were a lot of options, such as killing him, but David knew how precious this kind of incident was. If this was indeed the work of an alien, they should have figured it out so that no one would fall for this trick anymore.

In addition, he had never seen an alien like this before. Did they actually control the humans?

"GO!" Selena waved her hand. There was no need to forgive this person who dared to slander Nathan.

All of a sudden, veins bulged on the knight's face. In fact, if not for his body fully covered with clothes, they would find more veins on his body. More importantly, these veins were actually black.

The knight's eyes were wide open, as if the eyeballs could leave out its sockets at any moment. Black-colored blood flowed out of the corner of his eyes.

The right hand might look similar to Sasha's, but the other hand actually formed a sword like the mutant Nathan fought on the mission with Noelle.

The knights raised their swords, ready to join in. However, Selena was actually fuming. The moment she had the chance, all three familiars swept in.

Sasha was the first one to reach him and hit him with her long claws, but the other party swung his long, mutated blade. The controlled human not only stopped Sasha's attack but also blew her away.

"It's a juvenile class mutated alien!" Nathan shouted.

As if knowing what was going to happen, the alien tried to escape.

"Blood Field!" The blood emerged from the ground and created a half-dome, isolating the alien inside.

Sadly, the alien surpassed Risa's expectations as it split her Blood Field in half.

As if knowing this was going to happen, Fenrir and Yin Zhen leaped toward him at the same time.

Fenrir gathered all his strength into his paw. Even Anubis actually boosted his Ena with his Synchronization.

With this boost of Ena, the technique he copied from Alisha had finally completed.

Yin Zhen leaped forward and gathered his Ena on his foot. The Ena turned into a blue flame that gradually turned into a translucent tiger's head.

"White Tiger's Kick."

The alien stopped and raised both of his arms, receiving both attacks at the same time.

"!!!" The alien widened its eyes. His hands turned black as if the alien's cell was trying to protect them, but the burst of energy from both attacks ripped apart the sleeves, showing the black arms. The veins were similar to the symbiote attached to the alien.

Nathan couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. 'I know the aliens can control a human, but this is still unprecedented in this world. I have never heard it being mentioned. But they should be pretty big aliens… Don't tell me, the symbiotes are trying to control humans? If this is true, it means that the aliens are also being controlled by them. Nevertheless, we can only prove it by capturing that guy.'

Nathan looked at the alien as its arms snapped after receiving the two attacks, the force blowing the body 50 meters (164 feet) away.

That was right. Everything could be answered as long as they captured this guy, but could they?

Without any warning, a dull trumpet sound echoed across the forest as various sounds coming from aliens responded to it.
