As I heard Charles stir. He let out a loud groan. "My body is so stiff." Charles said. Stretching, I hear cracking. He looked at Gabriel and he looked at him with a wide smile. Tears streamed down his face. "You look like you saw a ghost." Charles stated why an ironic choice of words. As Gabriel just had a happy smile.
"Because you were comatose for 2 weeks after I awoke. In a constant state of screaming and thrashing about." Gabriel said with a small smile that Charles noticed.
"You have gotten so much stronger." Charles said in a state of shock.
"Yeah the diet of Chaos Beast can do that all of us have grown greatly." Gabriel said.
"Hi there mmmmaster." A purring voice said as it hopped onto Gabriel's shoulder. It was a white cat with two tails.
"Are you his familiar?" Charles asked with a confused look.
"I was born a week ago, ppppeasant." The cat purred. How much I wanted to kill this Nekomatta.
"Not nice Neko." Gabriel scolded the small white familiar.
"Is he that important?" The cat dropped the slow speaking at. For the past week she has been spoiled brat.
"Yes he is. Dare I say my best friend?" Gabriel asked, holding out his hand for Charles to stand up. Charles grabbed it.
"You can say that." Charles asked as he suddenly looked down to see one of the three treasures of Hellsing. The Mask of Demon King no way. In its seal form it took the form of a hexagon with demon-like teeth. It was the size of Charles' hand.
"The house of Evolution has been looking for that." Gabriel said in a shushed tone. In that case it means one thing: no one here will let them have it.
"Okay." Charles said, tucking into paints.
"Before you ask, we've been stealing gear and clothes from the House of Evolution and for why you don't have a shirt I have no clue." Gabriel shrugged.
"Abel stole your shirt." I snitched with the quickness that would make a lightning strike seem slow.
"What?" Charles said. As he started to walk through the cave getting closer to the entrance. As Charles' eyes swinced the light was harsh for us since we have been in a cave for a long two weeks.
"Who is that?" A new face said. They were below us as they managed to dig out several parts of the rocky cliff area.
"Boss! Good to see you awake." The second one said as Charles jumped down. The snow crushed below Charles' feet.
"So what do we have here?" Charles asked, looking at many scattered boxes. They were all made of steel and metal.
"Mining equipment, Drills and Pickaxes. As well as some new weapons with these weird holes in the size." One said as the metal box opened. Showing a war axe made of pure black Hypercarbon steel. In the middle it had one hole with symbols around them.
"Slot weapons." I said with sorrow an ancient form of crafting made by Dwarves using Null Orbs that contained Chaos Energy to be used later Hellsing Sword Lux Lucifer had ten slots that he filled with Null Orbs filled with his Starlight.
"What are Slot weapons?" Charles was clearly interested in them. They help humans even against the odds against my kind and one killed my adopted daughter.
"No-" I said but I felt a cold glare. The yellow eyes of Charles met mine. A cold feeling swiped down my spine.
"Fine. I guess we will figure it out later. How many are there?" Charles asked the two as they looked at each other.
"About ten. Gabriel claimed one with one. Abel took the other katana and also had one slot. Racheal has one; it has three slots. We yet to find someone to wield this axe. A lance that had the slot in the pummel. Three daggers. As well as four more spears." The first one said with a small smile.
"Why are these Slot weapons weak?" Charles asked, looking at it with confusion. He took a closer look.
"Not quite the opposite of the strong but they seem to have wills of their own and have rejected most of us." They said looking down at the item. As suddenly he checks himself.
"Were my sword?" Charles asked, his voice filled with worry.
"You were found without it." The black hair person said.
"Who are you?" Charles asked, clearly annoyed at the loss of Renfield.
"I am Fulgur." Fulgur said he was on one knee, his face looking at the snowy ground. "I also bear bad news that the Chaos Beast have gotten stronger and more common due to them having countless eggs placed here with the House of Evolution." As he said this Charles face fills with shock.
"Great more Chaos Beast." Charles mutters no Charles there not only more there better adapted to the cold. Chaos Beast between generations can look completely different despite being child and parents. The environment makes up to about 20% of one's DNA. Making them unstable. When someone gets a familiar they find a Chaos Beast egg and feed it one Chaos Energy to create a supernatural bond between the two. As we heard many footsteps.
"There back." The first one said with a smile. It was them. Please let them be dead.
"Who?" Charles questioned. Wait, he has been in a coma-like state for the last two weeks. Idiot. As Abel and he grouped stopped.
"I was worried." Abel said crying, running to Charles hugging him. The others bowed deep and low.
"I see a lot of new faces." Charles finally noticed. There were a lot of people. Took him long enough.
"Yeah, out of 16,540 people taking the exam we have about 300 people." Abel said, wiping away her tears. Her neon blue hair was against Charles' chest. Charles slowly awkwardly pats her head slowly. She looks up with her golden eyes.
