Chapter 52 Were they born out of nothing?
Joan Sanner sighed deeply. Those cursed beasts appeared here when he was doing laboratory tests with his group. As the leader, the tests that were being done were part of his research.
But because of that, the cursed beasts killed one of his compatriots, making what should be a normal day in a disgrace.
So, the burden of solving this fell on him.
"That day, we were trying to learn a bit about the workings of the cursed energy inside the beasts. While that tends to be a job that sorcerers do best, I always feel that, since most of those sorcerers aren't scientists, they might leave out some important things." He smiled.
"And I was right; when we tried to delve into discovering the motives in the wake of an unusual movement that could serve us for many things, a huge problem occurred in the cursed energy, and our machines went out of control, causing the cursed energy there to transform into something strange and black. After that, cursed beasts appeared in that place."
"There are only 3 of them, but even though they were just born, they don't look like it. That's why we requested that whoever came be a group or someone strong."
Klaus frowned. "You say they appeared out of nowhere?"
"Yes, they just appeared."
'How strange.' Klaus thought. He thought his current knowledge was enough to understand all these things, but either he was ignoring something or simply lacked much knowledge.
If he were to think about it carefully, it would make sense. His stay in this world is only a few days. While it is true that he has some knowledge and his strength is incredible, the truth is that he is far from having any real 'common sense' in this world. His strength doesn't match his knowledge, but he doesn't think it's a problem.
Klaus looked up a little, looking at the place where the cursed beasts should be. That building had no lighting, so it looked a bit gloomy, like a small forgotten hospital. But in there, he could feel the presence of three cursed beasts.
'Fear and Disgust, huh.'
He didn't feel that they were too strong, but thanks to their unleashed abilities, he was sure they were in the Birth Phase. Their abilities were unleashed to all sides, revealing their location and strength.
He looked at Joan and nodded. "Mr. Joan, don't worry. I'll take care of killing those beasts and getting them out. But I would like a report on how they appeared and the types of studies they were conducting. Is it possible for you to give it to me?"
Joan Sanner nodded. "Sure, I understand submitting a report to the organization is necessary, right? I'll write it for you, so you don't have to bother. Will you go in today?"
"Yes, I'll do it right away, as I've already accepted other missions I must complete. I'll be on my way, Mr. Joan. Stay a little away and take cover. If there is someone nearby, also tell them to vacate until I tell you. We don't know how powerful they are after all."
Klaus started walking towards the entrance of that place, and Joan Sanner went to do what Klaus had told him.
Opening the door to the place, Klaus noticed that there were several long corridors with very little lighting.
'It seems the cursed beasts don't like lighting.' He thought as he looked at the huge modern lamps destroyed by some strange blow.
He took a deep breath and turned to the hallway before the door.
'They're at the end.' He immediately started walking down the hallway.
He could feel those abilities hitting his skin, but they didn't do anything to him. Although they entered his body and mind, he felt neither fear nor disgust.
'I feel as if these abilities transform into information as soon as they touch me, they don't affect me at all. They can't affect me, but I can understand them. I wonder if my body has something to do with this or if it's because my strength has increased.' He thought.
As he walked down the hallway, all around him were rooms that appeared to be classrooms.
His walk was smooth and calm until he reached one of the corridors that divided the place.
As he reached it, he stopped and looked to his right.
Just in time to see a green, strangely disgusting fist that appeared to have fingernails growing out of a piece of flesh as if it were a malformed hand.
The fist was about to hit him when suddenly his hand appeared in front of his face. He held that strange malformed hand.
'It's a Disgusting feeling to touch it, isn't it?' he thought and lowered his body to the side to dodge a kick coming from another direction.
Unperturbed, he swung his leg behind his body to brace himself and unleashed a punch towards the beast he had a hold of, managing to punch it in the stomach until it hit the nearby wall.
Although it was dark inside, Klaus could see clearly. It was as if he had some kind of night vision, but he saw the world exactly the same as when there was normal light.
The cursed beast he had just struck felt his ribs twist fiercely inward, and he completely lost his breath for several seconds.
It looked like a strange creature whose hands were not formed. His feet were human-like, his hands malformed, and his head had a huge mouth with a single eye. Everything about his body expressed 'disgustingness', but Klaus didn't care about this.
He leaped to the side to dodge the third guy's blow.
"Oh, so they know how to take turns attacking. Apparently, they're smart." He grinned, and as he hit the ground, he propelled himself to launch himself at one of the attackers, delivering a powerful blow to the head.
This one was not the same as the other. His form was of a small, muscular monster with a strangely shaped face with three eyes, two mouths, and no nose; well, it did, but not where it should have. Strangely, its nose was on its chin, and somehow, it seemed to be wearing something like paint that made him look like a clown.
When Klaus hit it, he felt several teeth sink in, and the strange nose broke off, too, but that strange paint didn't even look smudged.
'Is it his ability?' Klaus thought, and soon, the situation would give him an answer.
