Chapter 1352
Even though he had mutated and seemed entirely devoid of reason during his mindless attacks p>
The sheer terror of Serena had been carved so deeply into his bones from watching the security feed that it had become an indelible physical instinct.
The moment he heard that lazy, cold voice p>
Mordecai’s massive, deformed body began to shake uncontrollably.
He stopped attacking. He stopped roaring.
Slowly, mechanically, he twisted his mangled head around.
His bloodshot eyes locked onto the girl walking toward him step by step.
With every step Serena took.
The crimson glow in his eyes violently shuddered, and his twisted body trembled harder.
He was utterly terrified.
Right as Serena stepped in front of him.
Thump.
His knees buckled.
He dropped directly to his knees right in front of her!
Jerrick and Jasper were momentarily stunned.
When they looked back at Serena, their expressions grew incredibly complicated.
A monster that had just been fighting them like a complete lunatic, a beast that kept attacking even after being literally torn apart p>
Had heard their sister’s voice.
And just… dropped to its knees?
Wasn’t this level of intimidation just a bit too ridiculous?
It honestly hurt their pride a little considering they had just been fighting for their lives against the damn thing.
Serena stood completely still in front of the creature.
Looking down at him with absolute authority.
She didn’t waste a single breath. “Who is the person pulling your strings p>
Mordecai knelt on the floor, trembling even more violently.
Even in his mutated state, the question triggered an instinctual wave of dread. He opened his mouth.
A garbled, wet gurgle escaped his throat, but he clamped his jaw shut, refusing to spit out a single word.
Serena let out a soft scoff.
Moving with elegant precision, she retrieved several slender needles from the lining of her uniform.
With a flick of her wrist, a cold glint flashed.
The needles precisely pierced several major nerve clusters at the crown of his head and his neck.
Mordecai’s entire body jolted violently.
Miraculously, his grotesque, constantly spasming facial muscles suddenly relaxed.
He looked down in absolute disbelief.
Staring at his swollen, deformed arms, and his grotesquely mutated body.
It was still horribly mangled.
It was still bloated and blood-red, but clearly p>
The extreme swelling had begun to recede.
More importantly, the uncontrollable, bloodthirsty madness raging inside him was slowly fading away.
It felt p>
As if something had grabbed him by the throat and violently yanked him back from
the absolute brink of insanity.
Mordecai’s breathing became harsh and rapid.
Serena smirked, her smile
dangerously cold. “After exchanging blows with your Apex Augments I’ve figured out the central flaw
your
mutation serum.” fo
She looked down at his stunned expression, her features indifferent, her tone radiating an effortless, unshakable confidence. “If you cooperate I can turn you back turn you back into a normal human p>
Mordecai’s pupils dilated massively, trembling with shock.
Turn him back… into a human?
An intensely desperate glimmer of hope erupted in his eyes.
If he hadn’t been backed into an absolute corner, why would he ever inject himself
with a serum that turned him into a half-dead monstrosity?
He was a Special Envoy of the Obsidian Sun, the man tasked with running their
entire underground operation in Severia.
He knew exactly what happened to people who became Obsidian Augments.
He had already intimately experienced the suffocating terror of losing control.
His body had been battered, his bones snapped and twisted, yet he hadn’t felt a shred of pain-only the overwhelming.compulsion to kill likë amindless beast.
