Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 19:



[Ability: Soul Extraction (Unlocked)]

"This ability, well, it's alright..."

Lifting his right hand, Syd Castell seemed thoughtful.

He had a feeling that if his target's spirit and soul were weak, he might be able to forcibly extract their soul!

He was eager to try out this idea.

However, there was no target available for him to try it on, which Syd regretted.

"Even Soul Extraction is available, floating flight and the sunlight illumination should be next, right?"

Syd was somewhat expectant.

As he pondered, Kirill's voice carried over from afar.

"Hey Syd, come eat."

Embarrassed by the call but penniless, Syd had no choice but to join him.

After a meal that wasn't particularly delicious, Kirill discussed the watch shifts with him.

Initially, Kirill was to watch the first half of the night, and the Mark siblings the latter half. With Syd's arrival, adjustments were necessary.

However, perhaps due to distrust or some other reason, they didn't let him watch alone but paired him up with Kirill for the first half of the night.

Time flew swiftly, and the night passed uneventfully under Syd's vigilance.

The next morning, Syd woke up drowsy under the sun's rays.

"I wonder when those people will come looking."

As he basked in the sun, this thought brought him worry.

After having eliminated a few people, the ones sent next would definitely be tougher!

Honestly, he wasn't completely sure he could handle what was coming.

After a while, he shook his head.

He could only take it one step at a time, trying to enhance his strength to face any upcoming attacks.

Then he practiced his Divine Finger technique, aiming to upgrade all his Level 1 abilities to Level 2, to increase the energy within his body.

With sufficient energy, he felt confident facing whatever came next.

By noon, Divine Finger smoothly advanced to Level 2.

Syd found a secluded spot and unleashed Divine Finger on the concrete ground.

With a bang, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, a basketball-sized hole appeared on the ground.

"If this hits a person..."

Syd felt it was alright.

Glancing at the remaining spiritual energy columns and Soul Extraction, he sensed some trouble.

These two abilities, one would likely cause a big disturbance during practice, and the other lacked a target.

He sighed and refocused on the unlocking progress.

"70% or 80%?"

Suddenly, an intuition from his abilities suggested that Sunlight Illumination was about to emerge!

Syd was startled but trusted his feeling.

This feeling was special, similar to when he sensed the ability to mimic the Scarlet Witch previously; this time, his abilities gave him the same sensation.

Thinking this, Syd couldn't help but look forward to it.

Sunlight Illumination, a core skill of Orochi, perhaps, it reached the Omega level!

That meant, whoever possessed this ability would be an Omega-level mutant!

Far more powerful than any minor ability he had acquired before!

At this moment, Syd was both excited and curious, eager to collect enough energy points and

awaken this ability.

In anticipation, the time reached four in the afternoon.

Just as Syd was about to gather more energy points and then attempt to awaken Sunlight Illumination, an unexpected situation interrupted him.

"People are coming."

Kirill stopped playing with his phone, his gaze intensifying as he looked into the distance.

Noticing Syd's gaze, Mark explained.

"Kirill here has sharp senses, he can hear footsteps from afar. If he says someone is coming, they definitely are!"

Heidi nodded in agreement.

At that moment, Kirill urged, "You guys better see who it is. If it's the ones after us, we need

to leave this place."

Heidi and Mark nodded, then both stared out as if seeing through the walls to the outside.

"Five people, one woman, four men," Mark's deep voice sounded.

"Looking at their direction, they're definitely heading here."

Kirill was startled, his face full of surprise. "Who are they, do you know them?"

After a pause, Mark hesitated, "Seems like they are from some underground mutant

organization."

"Yesterday, this mutant underground organization approached Heidi and me, inviting us to

join them, but I refused."

Kirill and Syd realized.

"What do we do now, should we run? They are five people..." Kirill said hesitantly.

At this, Heidi and Mark also fell into doubt.

Among the three of them, only Kirill had some fighting capability.

Glancing at the young man nearby, Mark frowned.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Even with Syd's addition, they only had two people capable of fighting, against five

opponents...

While numbers don't equate to strength, the fact that these five dared to come meant they

were somewhat capable.

With this thought, Mark became even more hesitant.

After a while, they decided to wait and see what happens.

A minute later, the group approached the house slowly, and from a distance, Syd also saw

those five.

The woman was extremely slim, appearing to be in her thirties, dressed in a bright red outfit

with red high heels, and had quite beautiful features.

Her overall aura was immense, exuding a superior air, suggesting a significant status.

As for the four men, ranging from tall and burly to short and thin, they all looked somewhat

fierce.

"Hello there," Carlpana curled her red lips, looking interestedly at the four of them.

"What are you doing here?" Mark stepped forward and spoke.

Carlpana smiled broadly, counter questioning, "How did the discussion go about the matter

we talked about before?"

Mark hesitated a moment, then said, "Miss Carlpana, sorry, we are not considering joining

any factions at the moment."

Carlpana's eyes narrowed slightly, a mysterious glint flashing through them as she scanned

the three, finally resting her gaze on Syd.

"If you won't agree, then let it be."

She smiled ambiguously, looking at Syd and saying, "You're called Kevin, right?"

This person?

Syd's brows furrowed.
