Beast Evolution Forge

Chapter 147 Organization 2

Lucia coughed blood but managed a knowing smile. "You're not as threatening without your main powers, are you?" She pulled out a glowing syringe from her armor. "Suzy, Plan Z. He's vulnerable."@@@@

"The readings confirm it," Suzy added, revealing her own syringe. "His main core is sealed. No access to his dimensional or crystal abilities, not even his corruption powers I heard so much about."

Vell's eyes narrowed. They did their homework. These weren't just random agents after all, they were people that knew a lot about him.

"Are you sure about this?" Suzy asked Lucia, examining the pulsing liquid in her syringe. "The latest batch was still unstable..."

"Do it!" Lucia jammed the syringe into her neck. Suzy hesitated for just a moment before following suit.

Vell stepped back cautiously, maintaining his guard. Without his main core, he couldn't afford to be reckless. The swords in his hands were draining his reserve core steadily - he needed to end this quickly.

Dark veins spread slowly across their skin as Lucia's experimental mana began taking effect. Their muscles tensed and grew denser, but not to monstrous proportions. This wasn't a brutal transformation - it was calculated, controlled.

"Fascinating, isn't it?" Lucia's voice remained steady, though her eyes had darkened. "We learned from our mistakes. Small doses, properly refined. No need for dramatic mutations."

She moved first - not blindingly fast, but with precise, efficient movements. Vell brought up his dark sword to block, but her enhanced strength made his arms shake from the impact. Before he could counter, she had already pulled back to a safe distance.

"Your form is different," he observed, trying to buy time for his reserves to stabilize. "More controlled than those enhanced soldiers back at the lab."

"Because we understand corruption better than ever," Suzy explained, circling to his left. "We studied every sample, every reading. Learned its patterns."

They attacked together, but not in a wild rush. Their movements were coordinated, probing his defenses. He deflected Lucia's strike with his light sword while evading Suzy's low kick, but the effort cost him precious energy.

"Running low already?" Lucia noticed his slightly labored breathing. "Those reserve cores can't maintain those energy weapons for long, can they?"

She threw several small devices that exploded into clouds of shimmering particles. Vell's eyes widened as he sensed his mana being suppressed. He backed away, but Suzy had already circled behind him, herding him toward the cloud.

"Nowhere to run," she said, her strength letting her keep pace with his evasive movements. "The compound will stick to your mana pathways, making it harder to channel energy."

His reserve core flared in warning - he couldn't maintain this pace much longer. The women's enhanced forms showed no signs of degrading, their controlled transformations proving more stable than he'd anticipated.

His body felt heavy and this left him wide open. 'This is so annoyi-'

Lucia's fist slammed into her jaw with enhanced force, sending him crashing through a nearby wall. Before he could recover, Suzy appeared above him, her heel driving down into his sternum with crushing impact.

Blood sprayed from his mouth as he hit the ground. They didn't let up, their forms blurring with synchronized attacks. Each hit echoed with brutal force, driving him further into the crater their assault had created.

"Target neutralized," Suzy reported clinically, stepping back from his motionless form.

Lucia pulled out a scanner, frowning at the readings. "Vital signs dropping. Maybe we overdid-"

A sound cut through the air – laughter. It started low, almost inaudible, then grew into something unhinged that made both of them take an instinctive step back.

Vell's body twitched, then began to rise. Blood ran down his face, dripping onto the ground as he stood like a puppet with cut strings. His head hung at an odd angle, that disturbing laughter still spilling from his lips.

"What the fuck," Suzy whispered, taking a step back, her expression nervous.

His head snapped up, and both women felt their blood run cold. His eyes held something primal, something that stripped away their scientific confidence and reminded them of bone chilling fears, of things that hunted in the dark.

"1st limiter," he rasped, blood-stained teeth visible in a twisted grin, "release."

The air itself seemed to recoil.
