It was a horrendous sight. Nera's skin was torn all over her body. She was raw. Even in some parts of her body, you could see her bones. Her eyes rolled and turned white, but were stained with her blood. It was absolutely terrifying. Even though she was in this state, she still stayed awake, but her eyes were no longer alive.
"Dead," Aisten said with a sigh. As if he had lost a toy he loved.
*Booooom!*
But then, a burst happened. Before Aisten could react, Nera pulled and pulled out what was holding her down. Her black hair turned white, and there were some pink threads, and she walked towards the pair of white wings and in a coarse and horrifying way, she tucked the pair of white wings on her back. As incredible as it seemed, the pair of wings started to flap, and that was when a pink light came out of her palm and opened a hole in the wall and Nera left the laboratory, flying through the air.
"The hell! What the fu#k was that?" Aisten swore. It was the first time since he arrived at this place that he had been afraid.
Nero woke up in the middle of the night scared. She was shaking from head to toe. Rising from the bed, as white as a ghost, she went to the bathroom to wash her face.
'That shit dream again!' Nero swore as she wiped the tears from her eyes. She felt like throwing up and trembled whenever she remembered what she saw and felt in that damn place.
'What kind of torture this girl suffered until she couldn't take it anymore and she died...' Nero looked at herself in the mirror and sighed. She still couldn't understand what exactly happened at the end of her dream, when after dying, she stole the wings from the lab and flew away.
While everything remained a mystery to her, Nero managed to calm down. She took a shower and put on her leather clothes, and then sat down on the bed. Even though it was still very early (it wasn't even five o'clock in the morning), she no longer wanted to sleep.
When it was 7 am, someone knocked on the door. "Nero, are you awake?"
"Yes," Nero responded, hearing Choko's voice.
Choko opened the door and felt that Nero's mood was a little dark, but seeing Nero smile, she thought she had maybe imagined it. Choko then said, "Are we going to eat?"
Nero nodded and said, "Yes."
Rising from the bed she was sitting on, Nero went to Choko and the two walked to the living room. Arriving in the living room, Latifa, who was waiting for the two girls, smiled warmly. Different types of sweet donuts were laid out on the table, be they white chocolate, milk chocolate, strawberry, etc.
"You can eat at will," Choko said to Nero.
Nero was not feeling well because of the nightmare she had, but she still smiled when she nodded. She took a dark chocolate donut and started to nibble. "Very tasty," Nero murmured.
Seeing that Nero seemed to feel better after eating something sweet, the pair of mother and daughter smiled at each other. One of the best things to cheer up a woman was to give her something sweet, be it cake or chocolate. Of course, not everything can be solved like this, but it was no accident that when a woman ends a relationship, she has a tendency to cry while eating something sweet - most often ice cream.
After eating, Choko said, "Nero, I'm going to stay in my room absorbing the monsters' cores. I recommend that you do that too, and then we can go for a walk around town and sell the items that fell from the monsters. What do you think?"
"Great," Nero smiled at her, "I'll go do that."
"Okay, see you later." Choko left as soon as she said that.
Nero went to the room where she was staying. Sitting cross-legged on the bedroom floor, Nero removed 26 Level 4 Monster Cores from her inventory.
_ _
Absorb 26 [Monster Core] Level 4 Yes / No?
_ _
[Yes], she clicked.
_ _
You have increased 35 energy points.
You have increased 35 strength points.
[Notice! Strength and Energy attribute limit reached.]
You have increased 5.9 extra points.
_ _
An absurd amount of power circled Nero's entire body. She felt every particle of her body growing stronger. A pleasant sensation came along with her increased strength and energy.
_ _
[Alert: New function unlocked: Agility attribute can be increased with extra points]
_ _
Nero, who saw the new holographic screen, opened her status to confirm.
_ _
Nero Diaz

14 Extra Points.
_ _
When she clicked on agility, the [+] option appeared, and she clicked 14 times.
_ _
[14 Extra Points was awarded in Agility!]
_ _
When the agility points were increased, Nero had a false impression that everything was slower, but it only lasted a few seconds, and then she felt that everything was back to normal. She got up and punched in the wind, realizing that she was faster than before and much more powerful.
Looking at the Hunter Card normally, she saw that she was at level 6.
'I still have other Monster Cores. I will now use the 15 Level 5 Monster Cores I have left,' Nero told herself and went back to sit on the floor.
_ _
Absorb 15 [Monster Core] Level 5 Yes / No?
_ _
[Yes], she clicked.
_ _
You have increased 58.5 extra points.
_ _
Nero then distributed those extra points in agility.
_ _
[58.5 Extra Points was awarded in Agility!]
_ _
This time, Nero opened her eyes as she felt everything slow down. She got up, and it seemed fast, but at the same time slow; it was a strange sensation. Just after 1 minute, that strange sensation passed.
'Strange thing...' Nero muttered in her mind.
To be honest, Nero was amazed at her speed. Being fast was a huge advantage. She was not sure, but Nero had a feeling she could run at nearly 100 kilometers an hour. In addition, her reflexes also improved; she saw that if she wanted to catch something before it hit the ground, she could do it with ease. She continued to stay in the room doing some tests.
Of course, she tried to avoid using her strength since she didn't want to accidentally destroy something.
Nero knew it would take Choko more time to finish absorbing the Monster Cores then she herself had. After taking a shower, she spent most of the time left lying in bed while waiting for Choko.
