They quickly came back to the ground floor after making sure to close the door of the underground parking not that any beasts could enter but it makes them feel safer that way.

" So did one of you saw which type of beasts where to the back of the hotel we couldn't say "

Lester asked his voice filled with worry as he tried his best to not freak out that maybe some strong beasts were about to attack them and with two of their best fighter out it would be hard to stay alive with the next incoming fight, Sarah wasn't sure what to do in this pressure to have people waiting for your order make her uneasy she preferred healing and from time to time give her opinion when some ideas were too much, and it was the kind of role that either Lisa, Edward, John or Chris did not her.

she massages her eyebrow as she thought about how to deal with it, hoping that Claire and the other would quickly come back.

Bloodline side ability acquired after the link between you and your contracted beasts became stronger

Lisa who was resting on the bed with Chris heard the robotic voice of the System Prompt read message that appeared in front of her, and all of sudden her sight changed to seeing the surrounding in blue with the buildings and the ground too in blue, the sight changed as the figure of Sarah and the other at the ground-floor in yellow and orange appeared but they were the size of a teenager, at least it how she felt looking at them from the two huge eyes she had.

< You.won't.support.share.view. >

just after the snake sends her those words her sigh came back to normal, she then read the System prompt again as she tried to make a sense of what had just happened to her, she looked at Chris he was still sleeping the wound at his neck now healed his face was pale blue he was almost naked with only a pant, but seeing blue veins from his neck to his arms and legs as it seemed to pulse she felt the energy coming from his body becoming stronger, she freaked out seeing what was happening to him.

coming out of the bed she quickly went downstairs to call Sarah the thing about her bloodline ability is now to the back of her mind, too preoccupied with Chris state but she makes sure that her snake talks with her once things are arranged with Chris.

" What his happening what with all this noise, we are safe here so stop making other freaks out and go take some fresh air outside "

Once downstairs seeing them all sitting on the floor as they talked as if waiting for something looked, she asked them but seeing no one respond to her as they were in their own though she yelled her voice filled with killing intent making everyone look at her thinking that she was about to go crazy again like last night.

" I said WHAT IS HAPPENING !!!"

she was already worried about Chris state and here they are doing nothing and no one answer to her.

- " Lisa calm down it's about the beasts howl close to the buildings and since Claire and the other still didn't come back we are worried that something happened to them ...."

Sarah quickly came toward her and calmed as she explained to her what was happening

" Ok thank you for the explanation but I need your help something is wrong with Chris states"

Lisa quickly stopped Sarah worried that Chris's state will worsen if they wait for too long but as they were about to go upstairs, the sound of footsteps came from the left hallway of the ground floor and as they turned their head they heard Edward's sarcastic voice.

tap tap tap

" we're here what all the ruckus for, haaa seriously guys still afraid because of some howls of beasts ahahaha you should see your face "

he said in a joking tone but he freaked out seeing those beasts

" heuu why are you looking at me like that "

Edward seeing everyone having him an angry look quickly stopped his joke as he asked them but they soon just shook their head, thinking they were worried about them while this fool is making fun of them.

" Wait, Lisa, what's the matter, not a joke this time we need to discuss some strong beasts we met at the underground parking, we might need to deal with later on they were too close to us and we only noticed them because they were fighting near the hotel.... "

Claire who was about to talk about what they saw, watched the figure of Lisa and Sarah going upstairs she called them warning them of the threat near them.

" no time for this, deal with this without me for now, anyway it's almost night it can wait tomorrow "

Lisa said as she hurried Sarah to go, the poor girl could only follow with reluctance as they took the stairs.

and Claire hearing her answer sighed thinking indeed it was almost night they can't fight during the night and with Sky and Lisa's snake they would be warned if any beasts attack them in the night.

" Ok guys we found the storage so we will take each two can of food and a bottle of water it should be enough for now and John this time try to not eat all your food like if you drink water "

Claire organized the others as they didn't have anything to do before they went to sleep, she said to John in last with a smile on her lips it was rare to see her joking like that.

- " what why are you pointing me not like if you ate as much as me, your lucky you can't get fat so easily otherwise in one or two months you will be obese with how much you eat, I am a man in my prime so it's normal to need more nutriment"

John being pointed out looked at Claire Shamelessness, as he tried to explain why he ate so much compared to the other and

*****

Sarah was now trying to heal Chris as she saw the blue vein on his body like if some worms were inside his body and moved.

" so does it work "

Lisa asked Sarah as she didn't see any change in Chris's state and she could see that he was suffering even if he didn't let any painful sounds.

" I don't know I can feel that his body absorb my healing energy but since he is already healed I don't know what's wrong with him "

Sarah's face was sweating as she felt that she used half of her energy faster than ever before it was going out of her control, as she breathed deeply she started to use her energy in a way she never thought, instead of just use it to amplify the effect of her skill she started to use to take control of her body absorbing it in her body and suddenly she felt a wave of cold coursing her body for a second making her feel like if she just came out of a bath full of ice water.

Her mind seemed clearer as she felt her control over her skill getting better at the same time that the ice wave in her body disappeared.

Congratulation you became efficient in using your skill making the control of your energy and in the air easier, {Water Element variant - Ice Element } is now Upgradable as your mastery and control over the energy and its use are fully understood.

Your resistance against cold oriented energy attacks are 10% less effective on you, {be aware your body will be affected by the type of skill you use}

" Why did you stop healing him "

Lisa seeing Sarah stopping healing him asked as she grabbed Sarah's shoulder.

" stop it!! will you, I did my best and I am not a robot I need to restore my energy, I healed him so now we can only wait and see what will happen to him "

Sarah, as she was reading the prompt, pushed Lisa's hand as she felt annoyed that she did her best and she didn't even get a thank, and the fact that at the same time that Lisa was talking she felt glimpses of information about what is the energy in general and it's utility make her frustrated as she wasn't able to get the information she wanted and in less than twenty-second the feeling of having information entering her brain stopped.

making her sigh in regret as she felt it was something important but she didn't notice for a second that when she touched Lisa's hand a faint ice wave spread on her finger but as the contact lasted less than a second she didn't notice it either her or Lisa which was more worried about Chris state.

- " sorry I...Sorry, I went too far...it's just that I don't know what I will do if I lose him too, my parents are probably dead and he is the only good thing that happened to me since this fucking apocalypse!!! and seeing him close to dying so many times the last few days and now his strange state it makes me crazy and my bloodline pulsion is making things worse "

Sarah seeing Lisa on the verge of crying hugged her as she could understand this feeling she had some family members in another city so she had lost all hope to see them again and she instead focused on what she could do to survive wanting to get stronger.

as they sat down on the corner of the bed as she let out Lisa cry out all her pain under her breasts her t-shirt was soaked on some part showing a part of a sexy bra but with just the two of them, she didn't understand the part with the bloodline pulsion but she didn't ask, it wasn't the time to ask about information and it's not like if it would be useful to her.

she was going with what they got as information from their supporter about the leveling and now that she thinks about it it's more like a scam so far she didn't get anything useful and she didn't know what they took from her in exchange during the Awakening process, the fact that they can get stronger not by just killing beasts but by also going to a merchant that will appear in no long to earth for the new evolver but so far they didn't meet this supposed Merchant.

The two girls seemed closer, as after crying Lisa felt lighter, and her will to fight and kill coming from her bloodline subsided after letting all her worry out, the two of them shared their life how did their life before all of this happen, and what do they think they will have to go through to survive now.

" I will go search for some food those on our bag won't be enough and if Chris woke up he will be hungry too, I will be fast "

Sarah said and stood from the floor, she knows that the girl won't leave Chris unless this room collapse and she wanted fresh air and also knows what happened to Claire and the others she briefly heard what they were talking about when they went upstairs and at the same time try to restructure the information she got, it seemed like if it was stocked in part of her brain and that she could read them as long she tries to understand her { Ice element } skill.

downstairs things were starting to calm down Claire made sure that everyone just took enough food for the night and tomorrow, everyone ate at their fill some of the perishable food.

Like that what will be left will be those that can last for a long time, making themself enjoy their choices on what they wanted to eat, it wasn't a five-star hotel food standard but it was better than nothing and no one complained.

The ambiance was a little heavy with the news of some strong beasts in the area that they didn't notice after checking the area around the hotel, which means that those beasts were either enough intelligent to hide when they saw them waiting for an opportunity or that they just came here by errors searching for a prey to eat and at the same time evolve.
