Souta dashed forward and the figure also charged at him.

Swoosh!!

Souta ducked down to avoid the hands of the figure before he delivered a blow to the stomach of the figure.

Bang!

The figure flew away and Souta chased after it. He chopped the neck of the figure knocking it down.

"It's harder to hold back against this kind of people," Souta said in a low voice while looking at the unconscious man.

He won't kill anyone in this place. It's not that he's against killing someone. It's just that he still retained a part of his humanity and want to avoid killing as much as possible. If it comes to the situation that he needed to kill someone then he won't hesitate and he will do what he needed to do. Also, the quest this time was asking him to save them from the possession of the [Vajra Sword Saya], not to kill them. Help them regain their senses and clarity. Release them from the grasp of the Vajra Sword.

"I wonder if the Vajra Sword can possess me," Souta muttered before turning to look at the dark path.

There was some grass on the floor but this was not the Evening Grass. Evening grass looks like an ordinary grass but it has a different color. There were blue dots across the leaves of the grass.

The unusual energy here was getting thicker the more he got deeper in the underground.

"Then, I will turn here and..." Souta stopped as he saw five figures with gleaming red eyes.

"Here they come..." He clenched his fist and charged straight to the five figures.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

...

"Hu~ really, they attack anyone who enters this place," Souta said as he wiped the sweat forming on his forehead.

There were locked rooms everywhere. This place was really an underground base built for sheltering people but who knows how long people abandoned this place.

He walked to the end of the corridor, and he found that one of the rooms was not locked. The door had been left half-open, and the lock was broken.

He noticed some scratch marks on the door. He reached out his palm and traced the scratch marks.

"There's no dust..." Souta muttered. Just from seeing the marks, he could guess that someone made this recently. Maybe a few days ago.

He slightly pushed the door open, only to find rows of tables placed in the corner of the room. Transparent bottles with an unknown liquid were neatly arranged on top of the tables along with strange devices. Opposite of it was a cabinet full of books which were covered in dust.

Picking up one of the transparent bottles, he shook it a few times. The orange liquid inside the bottle emitted a dim light. The light wasn't that bright but in this dark room, it was extremely noticeable.

"A monster potion, huh?"

A monster potion was a potion that will let someone borrow the power of a monster. But it comes with a side effect due to harnessing the beast's energy.

Beast energy or also called Beast feram by ancient people. Powerful and destructive energy that monster uses. A monster that could harness beast energy was a dangerous individual and countries would use forces to eliminate those monsters when it appeared in their territory.

Only level 40 monsters have this kind of power. Once he reached level 40 he would be able to use beast energy or best feram. But that's far in the future.
