?284 Chapter 284 – The Approaching Finale

When Nick entered the next Containment Unit, he wasn't surprised to see a big fleshy worm.

However, he was surprised to see two people looking at him inside the Containment Unit.

Nick just looked back, stepped forward, and closed the entrance behind him.

The two of them were Newbies, and they had been working with the Blood Worm.

Naturally, Nick killed the two of them quickly and then tore the Blood Worm apart.

No descendants of the Blood Ancestor were sentient, and any non-sentient Specter would be killed by Nick.

After killing the Specter, Nick delivered the two corpses to the Parasite.

Then, Nick entered the next Containment Unit.

This time, he found half a torso in the Containment Unit.

The torso belonged to a man, and he just glanced at Nick emotionlessly without saying anything.

When he saw Nick's get-up, he raised an eyebrow, but he didn't say anything.

This Specter was called the Agonizing Wait, and Nick hadn't expected to find a humanoid Specter in here.

The name didn't sound very human.

"Hey, you're sentient, right?" Nick asked.

The man just looked at Nick.

"You better answer, or I'm going to kill you," Nick said.

The Specter didn't answer.

"Alrighty then," Nick said.

BOOOOM!

Nick exploded forward.

CRRRRKK!

Nick's nails hit the wall as the torso threw itself to the side with its arms.

"I didn't think you were serious," the torso said with narrowed eyes, not seeming very perturbed. "What's this about?"

"So, you are sentient," Nick commented.

"I am," the Agonizing Wait said.

"Good," Nick said with a nod. "I'm not part of these people. In fact, I'm their enemy, and I want to cause them as much damage as possible."

"I killed a couple of their non-sentient Specters already. As for the sentient ones, I'm offering a trade." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on (ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

"A bit of your help for your freedom."

"You're not the first one joining me."

The Agonizing Wait looked at Nick with furrowed brows.

"Fine, I'll come with you," he said. "However, I don't know how you're going to get me out of here."

Nick pointed at the light window on the ceiling. "If this is anything like the other Containment Units, I can create a 30-

centimeter-wide hole without sounding the alarm. If we get rid of one of your arms, we can get you through it."

The Agonizing Wait still seemed suspicious.

"Alright, make the hole," he said.

Nick nodded. "Give me a second."

Then, Nick left the Containment Unit, closed the door, and went to the other side of the light shaft by traveling through the light layer as fog.

When he arrived, Nick created a hole at the side first and dug through a layer of metal, which eventually led to the hallway.

Nick hadn't done this with the Grey Room since such a hole would be noticeable, but since there were now not as many people walking around, he decided to take the risk.

Additionally, he was nearly done here.

When he was done, Nick entered the light shaft again and dug a hole in the window.

"Alright, can you fit through this hole without damaging the window? If you damage it, the alarm will go off," Nick said.

The Agonizing Wait looked at the hole for a bit.

Then, he tore one of his arms off, including the shoulder.

A moment later, he tossed the arm through the hole before throwing himself through it with the other arm.

From the small tunnel leading to the hallway, Nick watched the Agonizing Wait reattaching his arm.

The two of them went back to the hallway.

When the Agonizing Wait reached the hallway, he looked at the grey spider beside him with a neutral expression.

Nick looked at the big hole he had made and became nervous.

'If anyone walks through here, they will immediately notice,' Nick thought.

'We don't have any time left.'

Then, Nick turned in a specific direction.

"Time for the finale," he said.

"After you two help me with this one, you can leave through the hole."

"The Grey Room knows where it is," Nick said to the Agonizing Wait.

The Agonizing Wait didn't answer.

The next moment, the three of them ran down the hallway.

When Nick reached a specific Containment Unit, he stopped and looked at it.

'Just as expected,' he thought when he saw the huge and complex console controlling the Containment Unit.

Nick knew that model since the Fog was contained in the same one.

A moment later, Nick cut through the walls at a specific place.

Behind the wall was a panel with a lightning bolt on it.

This was the central storage for the Zephyx operating the special Containment Unit.

Containment Units capable of suppressing Force Specters required a constant supply of Zephyx to work, and this panel was hiding that supply.

Nick carefully cut through the panel and saw four vials: two white, one half-white, and one clear.

The white ones were filled to the brim with Zephyx, and every vial could hold one kilo of Zephyx.

This meant that Nick had 2.5 kilos of Zephyx in front of him.

Nick grinned.

Yet, the next moment, he stepped away.

"We'll free our friend later," Nick said to the two other Specters. "We have to do something else first."

Then, Nick led the three of them down the hallway and stopped in front of a couple of offices.

"Go check if he's still in there," Nick told the Grey Room.

The Grey Room went up the wall and dug into the light layer.

Since the time for the finale was here, there was no longer any need to be stealthy.

A couple seconds later, the Grey Room crawled out again and scratched a bit with its right leg.

Nick grinned.

"I need you two in this fight. You don't need to kill him. You just need to distract him."

"Who's in there?" the Agonizing Wait asked.

"John Keyweather," Nick said. "The CEO."

"And he's a Mid Veteran."

The next moment, Nick took a black ball out of his pockets.

He looked at the two Specters, which were waiting close by.

BANG!

Nick kicked the door open and threw the ball to the ground.

WHOOOOM!

A cloud of black smoke exploded out of the ball!
