Animeverse Slayer!

The man's sudden death caused all the others to pause, shock was written on their faces.

After a moment of silence the other two men realised what kind of enemy they were facing and immediately reacted.

The bulky man raised his fists and punched out. Fire emerged from his fists and took the shape of a wolf before it plunged towards Leo.

The other man took a deep breath, his c.h.e.s.t swelled up like a balloon.

Puu!

He blew out and shot pressurised air at Leo.

Christine and the other two paled when they saw the attacks and yelled.

"Leo, dodge!"

Leo remained calm and waved his sword. The flame wolf and the pressurised air strikes were shredded to pieces.

Seeing how easily their opponent destroyed their attacks caused them to take a step back. Sweat started to ooze out of their foreheads.

Gritting his teeth one of the man rushed forward. Fire emerged on his body and covered him like a suit of armour.

The other man went around and attacked Leo from his back.

A fist covered in fire rushed at Leo from the front while a blast of air came from his back.

Boom!

An explosion shook the room.

Christine's face turned ugly, she pulled out a strand of hair and it turned into a long spear.

Using the opportunity when her opponents were in shock she bolted towards the flame man. However just when she was about to take a second step she stopped and looked forward.

Under everyone's shock, Leo walked out from the flame, whereever he stepped the flames gave way.

Sweat trickled down the mans face, he shouted to his companions, "Retreat! Retreat! Info was wrong, retreat!"

The flame man was the first to move, he rushed towards the corner of the room where a large hole was and jumped in. The other men also ditched their opponent and followed.

But before they could get to the hole a figure flashed infront of them like a ghost.

Leo raised his sword and slashed down. A dragon manifestation rushed towards them.

The men saw Leo's figure and what he did, and the moment he slashed down every fibre of their being screamed danger.

I will die!!

All of them roared from the top of their lungs and still rushed forward. Their bodies swelled up, veins popped all over their body as power filled them.

The dragon coiled around them and took a bite. The man at the forefront was bit into two, his blood spilled all over the floor. He was followed by the two more, the last one was slightly better, he reacted in time and twisted his body.

He looked up and saw an indifferent pair of eyes staring at him, it felt as if those pair of eyes were looking straight through him.

Fear crept into his heart, his body started to tremble. The regenerating parts squirmed, then swelled up before exploding. A second later it started to regenerate again but exploded.

Christine gulped when she saw this.

He is scared so much to the point that he couldn't even control his body any more and exploded?

She walked towards the man and pulled out few strands of her hair. She then stabbed it through the mans limps, effectively nailing him to the floor. After doing that she took out a vial and made him swallow it's content.

The man's body stopped regenerating after he swallowed the whatever was inside the vial.

Not long after Sam rushed in with Arthur and Dalia.

After getting emergency treatment the room was cleared out. All of them sat down with heavy expression. Christine gripped her hand so hard that they turned pale.

Sam looked at her and said, "They were very prepared, at point my men were controlled."

Christine gritted her teeth, "Dammit! We were played! They attacked randomly for us to move Emma, then they used a spy to get our guard up."

"As we fortified the base they sneaked in through the ground, and since the men were under their control the emergency signal was useless!"

Everyone who heard her had a hard expression on their face.

Leo suddenly looked at Christine and said, "For them to lay out such an elaborate plan, just what the heck were you guys researching on?"

Sam the rest also looked at Christine, they also wanted an answer.

Christine looked at everyone and stayed silent. Leo saw her hesitation and said, "You better come clean or I am out."

Sam didn't refute his words, he was also pissed. He silently started at Christine.

Under everyone's piercing gaze Christine sighed and said, "Project Dawn."

"Emma's ancestors created the serum by separating a special component from a naturally awakened Extraordinary's blood. The serum can create artificial Extraordinaries but it comes at the cost of potential."

"An artificial Extraordinary's class is fixed at class C or below during his awakening, maybe a lucky few one could raised their class just once. However that's it. Unlike naturally awakened Extraordinaries, their future is limited."

"Project Dawn's objective is to remove that limitation."

Her words shocked everyone, Sam asked disbelievingly, "Are you crazy? This isn't the first time such a research was carried out, and you know what happened in the past. You guys still dared to restart it again?"

Leo asked, "What happened in the past?"

Sam explained, "The serum's drawback is very clear, and many of the top officers wanted to remove it. But several years of research proved that it was impossible. The end result of their experiments were deformed humans who had lost their sanity."

Christine sighed, "We didn't have a choice. Though natural Extraordinaries are rare, as population increase their numbers will also increase. We won't be able to track down every single one of them."

"And without proper guidance who knows what kind of people they would become. We needed something to keep the balance."

Sam suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did the research succeed?"

Christine shook her head and explained, "No. We made some improvements to the serum. With the new one artificial Extraordinaries will be able to evolve once with a 80 percent chance. But that's the best we could do, anymore and the injected person's body will break down."

Sam grinded his teeth, "Dammit! Those guys got Emma! If those crazy bastards got the new serum as well...
