After doing that Anna walked back to the center of the room, and couldn't help but lay down with her head facing the ceiling of the room, while lying down she couldn't help but think about all the recent events that happened in her life, from being promoted to a standard explorer to finally having the opportunity to come to grade 7 planet, with her captain, everything that was supposed to end happily became a horror movie when the demon beast that they were chasing and thought they had cornered suddenly showed it true colors, from predators they became the prey.
Not only did the demon beast slaughter theri captain, but it also slaughtered each and every one of her teammates before her very eyes she could only watch as they were being killed the demon beast, yet she could nothing but be powerless as she watch as everyone died, while she escaped all by herself, however when she thought she had finally escaped that was when she saw the demon beast appear right in front of her, but then the strangest thing was its didn't kill her but only stabbed her in the waist, after that the demon beast left and she lost consciousness.
But when she woke up again, she saw herself extremely close to a military base that was when she discover Sophia, however after discovering her she realize she felt weirdly different than her usual self, although she couldn't tell what was wrong with her she could still feel the pain on her waist which still had blood on it and was bleeding, so she had no choice but run towards Sophia's direction in hopes of being helped.
While Sophia was resting, she couldn't help but look at where Anna was when she did she noticed Anna had beads of sweat all over her expression and seemed like she was having a nightmare, although she thought it was odd, regardless, she walked towards her and was about to tap that was when Anna suddenly sprang up and held Sophia by the arm, when she saw her reaction Sophia immediately cast out her symbiote bloodline and was ready to use it at anytime, however on her expression she had a little frown, as she stared at the part of her arm Anna was currently holding she noticed, her fingers seemed to have become slightly pointy as if it was that of a demon beast, not only that she could feel even the way Anna was staring at was slightly different and at the same time her eyes were brimming with enough red energy.
Sophia pulled back her hand, and went back to the place she was sitting, however before going back she slightly stared at Anna intently, when she saw the looks on Sophia's expression she immediately hid her hands, and lowered her head, although she knew it couldn't correct the mistake that had just happened, but more importantly, she felt apologetic for what she almost did, after a little while she raised her head and peak at Sophia and wondering if she was looking at her, or if she would emit any sign of danger towards her.
However, when she peaked at Sophia a little, to her surprise she wasn't even staring at her rather she had her eyes close as if she was sleeping, but she knew that wasn't the case and she was likely just putting on a font, Anna then sat down and brought out her backpack before placing it in front of her, from inside she brought out a small crystal looking stone and threw it at the middle of the room, the moment the crystal looking stone finally balance on the ground, a warm bright light immediately started shine from within it.
Although the light wasn't very bright when compared to a standard AI light, nevertheless, it was still bright enough to lit up the small dark room, they were in making the shadows of their faces appear, if one were to look at the shadows of Anna and Sophia, they would realize there was a huge difference, the shadow coming off Anna was strange not only was the size bigger than it should be, but the eyes region seemed to be glowing with red, while that of Sophia was small and looked similar that of a normal person.
"I'm sorry but i don't know anything, I didn't kill anyone and I am not a demon beast."Anna suddenly blurted these words from her mouth, however while saying them she didn't stare at Sophia rather she had her head lowered, while her eyes were currently brimming with tears, although the light in the room wasn't very strong but at this moment, it exaggerated the shadow behind her, creating a contrast to what she was currently saying and what she was doing.
When Sophia heard what she said, she didn't say anything and simply kept quiet while channeling her symbiote bloodline to the maximum, at this moment she was preparing herself in case anything happens, she wouldn't be caught off guard, however, she couldn't show this on the surface or her expression, otherwise it might arouse the suspicion of Anna, which might lead to Anna attacking her. Although she was confident in being able to take care of Anna quickly, but she didn't know what would happen if she was given more time, but more importantly, just from the energy she had felt just now she could tell this Anna in front of her was no longer a human but a demon was residing inside of her.``So I guess you were possessed by a powerful demo beast? I am also guessing you captain and your teammates died by the hands of the demon beast by accident and its let you go by possessing a part of you."
Anna heard what Sophia said and couldn't help but slightly shiver at her words, she wanted to look at her and tell how much it wasn't her fault and how helpless she was when she saw all her teammates and her beloved captain died, however all those words were stuck to her mouth and no matter how much she wanted to admit it wasn't her fault, a part of her kept blaming herself for being the one behind the dead of her teammates. Just as she was about to open her mouth, that was when a loud rumbling sound had come from both Anna's and Sophia's belly.
Anna immediately had a flushed red expression filled with embarrassment, and couldn't help but stare at Sophia from the corners of her eyes, but all she could see was the cold and emotionless look on her expression, when she saw this she couldn't help but sigh although she didn't know Sophia but she felt the strong urge to be close to her as a friend or even a sister she never had, but then when she looked her waist she realize she must have probably lost that opportunity, nevertheless, she wouldn't let the fact she had been possess by a demon beast get the best part of her. pan(da-n0vel.c)om
"Here i know you might not like me and i know you are probably suspicious of me right now, but i don't blame you neither am i angry at you, but to honest i blame myself, i never thought, i would end up this way, but please don't let anyone know about this, i promise i won't harm you or do anything to you."Anna said with tears falling down her face, although she tried as much to stop the tears from falling down with her clothes, however it only made a mess of her face.
"I won't promise you anything, but at the same time as long as you don't try to harm me I won't try to kill you."Sophia said, as she looked at the crying Anna from the corners of her eyes, if she was to be honest, she didn't blame her and at the same time she sorry or pity for her, things like this had always happened when one wasn't careful does that mean, she should feel pity for each and every person that it happens to? Not even the kindest person would do somthing as stupid as that, becuase it would be ntohing but suicide, after all, things like this happenes everyday people lose thier lives to sickness, wars and danferous lanets but out of all of them how many do people talk about or even take a minute or second to mourn their death?
Besides, with how much she had seen and how much she had suffered as a young girl right from birth, her heart had being groom to not be easily affected by too much emotions, the only person who had been able to crack her emotional wall of defense was Bernard, and besides him she doesn't plan to make anyone crack her emotional wall of defense again and for any reasons.
After wiping off her tears, Anna who had been hungry all these while brought out a little container the size of a fist from her backpack and threw it at Sophia, who caught it in return before looking at it, when she did she realize it was food supplement with different flavor inside the container, after looking at it she took one out of it before shoving it down her throat and into her stomach, before throwing it back to Anna with a node.
Although they couldn't eat normal food since they were hungry, but the food supplement was one of the things that had been made to help anyone who usually travels, it was one of the important items explorer normally carry with them besides a bloodline pill, compared to bloodline pill a food supplement instead doesn't have the effect have been able to replenish bloodline energy or heal wounds, however they had similar effect since a food supplement food could also recover energy and at the same time make anyone who took to feel as if they had actually eaten.
Even though no everyone could afford bloodline pills, most instead could afford food supplement pills since it was literally essentially for survival and the materials used in producing it wasn't as expensive as a bloodline pill, especially since what it contains was just different concoction of food processed enough to be turned into pills, with a food supplement pill an explorer could go on for years without the need for food, not just that it was made very convenient for anyone to use since it contains most of the things a human body needed to stay alive.
This was why as long as an hungry person took one of the pills a day, they longer needed to eat because once the pill dissolves it would immediately feel the stomach with the flavor of the pill, and as if the person had actually eaten a real food the stomach would become filled. However, although ti was great but at the same time, it still couldn't cover up for lack of water which means a person can still choke on a supplement spicy pill if they didn't drink enough water. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎
However, thankfully, they didn't need to worry about having to drink water, since the military base they were it water source was still working perfectly, almost like the beast themselves were intentionally keeping them from being destroyed, so it wasn't a problem for the Anna and Sophia to find water in case they became thirsty while searching for the stargates and teleportation device.
"How about we get some sleep and take turns while keeping a watch out for magical and demon beast in the surroundings, sounds good right Sophia."Anna said as she stood and made a little stretch, and couldn't help but look at Sopia, while she also took several pills to calm the storm that was brewing in her stomach, even though she had been possess by a demon beast strangely enough she still eat normal food, however it only became double of what it used to be.
Sophia nodded from where she laid, however she wasn't paying attention to Anna completely rather her attention was on the food supplement Anna had given her instead, the moment she placed it on her mouth and shove down to her stomach, she immediately began to circulate her bloodlines, and once it was close to dissolving and was sure Anna wasn't looking her away, she froze it and regurgitated the food supplement pill, keeping it at the corner of her teeth.
