Another hidden quest.

Bully was laying on the ground looking around his environment in a daze and confusion, it was when Dike clashed with him did he snap out of it.

Nate ordered a flesh to be given to him and soon after that, they all could see how Bully's two lag and hand were growing back, though it was not a flashing speed from the scale of time, it will take about two or three minutes for them to fully grown back.

Unlike Nate who can use his energy to heal himself at any point in time, he sustained any form of injury, people like Bully and his party can only hear themselves faster after consuming flesh, though some minor injuries might not require flesh, however, a fetal injury such as losing a limb was something else, to begin with.

Bully seems to still be in some type of paralysed state as he could not talk or make a significant movement, instead, he was just there while still trying to figure out what was happening, however, Nate felt like his work is done here and walked in back to the workshop that was still in its reconstruction state.

While going back, looked back at the system message from earlier. Though Bully seems to be back to his senses and was no longer under any influence, Nate was still in doubt because the system never gave back a message declaring that Bully was free Nate did not act rashly because one is that the system might not even consider them as part of his group and so for that, whether they are fine or not, the system does not care.

However, when Nate was going through the system messages so far, he found something out.

It was the description of the strange ring that was worn by Bully. All the system messages that Nate had gotten so far were still in his system and he can access one if he wants.

[This ring has the blood of the matrix, anyone that wears it will automatically be controlled by the matrix and lose control of their body, but the host won't have to be worried about his horde being possessed. It won't work on death-control horde, but it might work on the host's infected horde, however, all the host has to do is give the particular victim a command to either cut off his hand or pull it out. It will work on initiated horde, but this can be easily resolved by the host using one of the atomic marks skill attributes]

'Uhh...,'

'I do act rashly, however, it's understandable, after all, I don't know who this matrix of a thing is and why will he or she is, whatever they may be, I just wonder what I have done to get such attention,' Nate thought as he got to the workshop.

Meanwhile, it seems like Peter was keeping an eye on Bully as he was being taken away by this party.

Soon, time went by and Jim was through with the reconstruction of his workshop, though this time, many pieces of equipment are missing, he was not bothered by this because most of them were naturally inside him.

Nate had nothing to do all this while so he and Lyon decided to go through the crystal that he retrieves from all the beasts that he killed and used his death control skill on. Of course, he would not leave such a valuable thing to go to waste just like that.

While doing this, shadows were cast over them. Nate was facing his back with Lyon in front and from the angle of the shadows, it was coming from his back. This made Nate and Lyon halt what they were doing, Lyon looked up to see Bully and the rest of his party standing behind Nate.

The factual expression of Bully was strange and confusing, Nate does not need to look back to know where standing behind him.

He stood up and looked at them. "What?!..." the tone in which he asked was kind of loud and it was frightening to the others as they wonder why Nate was angry.

However, Bully fall on his feet as he pleaded." I have made a huge mistake by letting my curiosity drive me, and not only that, I nearly put every single one of you in this mess. I don't know what would have happened if you weren't there, will all of them fall into the same hell I just went through, it was all because of you that they were saved so for that, I will apologise, I'm sorry for trying to get someone close to you into a big mess" Bully said.

Nate had a strange look on his face. The truth is that Nate was not angry at Bully, he know the former was not in his right senses, he was only apprehensive about whether Bully was still under the control of the matrix or was now in his right mind. However, they are no way for him to find out so he decided to stay alert in case things started turning south.

However, the next thing that happened in front of him left him speechless for a moment.

After Bully finished his statement, Twain, Levi, Mark, and the Dike all fell to their knees while saying out loud.

"We the last standing soldiers of the Spirit squad have decided to join your party no matter what path it might lead us to!" It was all said in the union like a true soldier, even the little Dike followed in saying.

They were a few seconds of silence as Nate looked at them in a daze.

"Maybe you guys do not understand what I meant by following me, your lives, and your wish will be decided by me, I can kill any of my followers just with a thought of that, and I'm not sure you will like such a life," Nate said, though he wanted more strong people in his horde, he wasn't sure on will love such a life after especially when it was an agreement initiate.

"Hey...! You never told me of that" Lyon said.

"You don't have to worry about that as long as you maintain your loyalty to me" Nate replied then before looking back to Bully and the others to only see the determination aura around them.

"What do you guys have to say?" He asked.

"We have already made up our minds, though what you said might sound creepy but we're no longer beings that know fear, any enemy of yours is already considered dead, so I know full well who to be enemy with and who I should not" Bully said.

Upon hearing this, Nate could only nod his head before looking at the others, though, Bully might be their leader but he is not the one that will speak for them in a decision like this.

"I will join," Mark said with Dyke at the same time. Before Levi, and soon it was only Twain.

"To tell you the truth, I hate dose list of yours but what can I do now that everyone had decided to follow you," Twain said and cross his hand together.

"Then I will start with you," Nate said as he placed his hand on Bully's neck.

"Don't fight back, else it will turn into something else," Nate warned before activating the initiate skill.
