Kill the Sun



Nick stood in front of a Containment Unit with narrowed eyes.

The two new Specters had been delivered today, and the Empath had also already been handed over to the city.

The two Specters that Dark Dream had received in return were very similar to each other, and the way a Zephyx Extractor had to work with them was identical.

Nick was a bit nervous as he stood in front of the Containment Unit on the fourth floor.

He knew that the Specters couldn't possibly endanger him, but he was still a bit nervous.

Nick pressed a couple of buttons on the console and took some steps back.

The Containment Units they had bought for these two Specters were quite cheap, but they still had some unique features.

These were Containment Units that supported rapid opening and rapid closing of the employee entrance.

For these kinds of Specters, such a function was a must.

A moment later, Nick narrowed his eyes.

BANG!

And exploded forward, running towards the closed entrance.

BANG!

The door opened with an explosive sound in less than half a second.

Nick ran through the opened door.

BANG!

And the door closed with incredible speed!

As soon as he entered, Nick immediately noticed the Specter.

It was almost completely red.

It was a hawk that was over a meter tall, but instead of skin and feathers, it was fully made of flesh.

Even its wings were only made of long flesh membranes.

Its beak and talons were made of some kind of flesh that had hardened.

On top of that, it also didn't have any eyes.

Its entire head was encased in flesh.

This was the Blood Hawk, one of the several Blood Specters.

Nick took note of all of these characteristics in less than a second since the Blood Hawk was already starting to attack.

Blood Specters were all extremely aggressive and very stupid.

They attacked any human they found, no matter how powerful.

They attacked babies, children, adults, elders, Newbies, Johns, Veterans, Experts, and so on.

As long as they found any human, they immediately attacked.

The Blood Hawk readied its claws and shot towards Nick.

BANG!

The Blood Hawk hit the wall of the Containment Unit since Nick had easily sidestepped the attack.

By now, Nick was a Mid John.

It had been nearly a full year since the great meeting, and Nick managed to advance two levels.

That was quite fast.

One had to remember that most Extractors never managed to become Veterans.

Most of them were stuck in the second level.

Usually, advancing one level took at least a year, and becoming a Veteran took even longer.

There were people who had been working with Specters for over 30 years who still hadn't managed to become Veterans.

There were a couple of reasons for that, but those weren't important right now.

The important thing was that Nick advanced so quickly in levels since he had two distinct advantages over other Johns.

First, Nick was a Chief Zephyx Extractor, and he was working with an incredible Specter, the Money Sink.

Nick was no longer working with the Bleeding Lady since he also had to leave some Zephyx for his employees.

Nick had also handed his tasks of feeding the Dung Heap and the Screaming Coffin to his team leaders.

These days, Nick only worked with the Money Sink, and that was all he needed.

The terrifying thing about the Money Sink was that it produced an insane amount of Zephyx in barely a couple of minutes.

So, in just a couple of minutes, Nick essentially got the benefit of having a Specter produce around 90 grams of Zephyx.

That was far more than normal Johns got after working with a Specter for 24 hours.

Even more, Nick didn't need to take any days off.

The second reason why Nick was advancing so quickly was the method that Manela had taught Nick back then.

By pushing himself with intense exercise, Nick could advance a level while only having around 85% to 90% of the required Zephyx.

That saved him a couple of months as well.

Because of these two things, Nick managed to become a Mid John after only a year, while his two team leaders had only recently advanced to become Early Johns.

So, Nick was a Mid John now.

What about the Blood Hawk?

It was an Early Hatchling.

Even without his ability, Nick's body was around ten times stronger than the Blood Hawk's body.

If Nick didn't resist and let the Blood Hawk attack him, it would only manage to make him bleed a little with a couple of surface-level cuts.

But that was basically it.

If it wanted to kill Nick, it would need minutes.

BANG!

Nick stepped to the side again as the hawk kept attacking.

Nick just watched the hawk and took note of its attacking pattern.

After watching it for over a minute, Nick realized that it basically had no strategy while attacking.

Most of the time, it was just charging forward while extending its talons towards Nick.

A couple of times, it was trying to peck him.

When Nick was in a fitting position, the Blood Hawk even tried to swat him with its wings.

But that was basically it.

"Alright," Nick said.

BANG!

Nick punched the hawk in the chest, and its back hit the wall of the Containment Unit.

Since Nick knew that he was much more powerful than the Blood Hawk, he hadn't taken his weapons with him.

After all, if he used his weapons, he might accidentally kill the Blood Hawk.

When the Blood Hawk hit the walls, Nick only heard the squelching sound of some wet meat hitting the wall.

Surprisingly, the wall didn't get discolored by any kind of blood.

It seemed like the Blood Hawk had some kind of film over its body that kept its blood inside, even though it looked very bloody all of the time.

Additionally, based on the sound, Nick guessed that the Blood Hawk didn't even have any bones.

'Interesting,' Nick thought.
