The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 507: Transformation

Abruptly, she opened her eyes and directly stared at the face of the figure that was looking down at her, completely catching the other party off-guard. For a moment, two eyes stared at each other with different emotions in their eyes.

Alicia looked at the figure that she had seen the moment that she opened her eyes. For a moment, she found that the figure that she was seeing was actually familiar, but at the same time, kind of unfamiliar.

For a moment, the lost memories that she had been hiding deep in her mind suddenly resurfaced. Those memories that she had been trying to lock away, making sure that she did not have that much high of expectations, to avoid bigger disappointments, suddenly broke free.

She remembered about her own brother, the one that had disappeared more than 10 years ago. And then, there was that friend of her brother, the one that she was engaged to.

The both of them had disappeared without a trace. No matter how much they tried to look for them, they did not find them. And ever since that day, she had been trying to live her life, without thinking much about her brother whom the hope of finding alive was definitely minimal, especially so considering that over 10 years had already gone by.

But now, looking at the face that was looking back at her, she could not help but remember about the two of them. But then again, she did not believe what she was seeing.

She was not sure if what she was seeing was actually the truth, or she was just hallucinating. She was afraid that she might have so much hope about seeing her brother that she might end up getting disappointed.

Henry on the other hand looked at Alicia who was looking back at him. To say the truth, he had not expected that Alicia was going to open her eyes so abruptly like that, catching him staring at her.

Well, what could he say? She was a beauty, and he could not resist looking at her. Additionally, even before he was taken away by the kidnappers, he had developed a good impression of Alicia ever since they were young.

Had the two of them grown up together, they would have definitely become childhood sweethearts. But even then, despite several years already going by, the good vibe that he was getting from Alicia had never dissipated.

It might be true that he was not sure if the feeling that he was having was actually love, but even then, at least he knew that he liked her.

But of course, the bond that existed between him and her was definitely weak, just like how it was with his family. At the end of the day, they had been away from each other for more than 10 years, and the last time that they had interacted was definitely during the time that they were young.

In the end, Henry could only cough slightly to ease up the atmosphere. Then, he looked at Alicia who was still looking at him dazedly and said, "It is good that you are awake. I guess I’ll get going to give you some time to get to adapt to waking up after a long time."

Then without giving Alicia a chance of saying anything, he immediately left the room. After all, the situation was kind of awkward, and he was not sure of what he was supposed to do in that situation.

Since she was already awake, he could simply go ahead and try to enter into the next rank. He had already reached the limit for the platinum rank, and so, it was definitely not going to be difficult for him to be able to reach the epic rank.

Alicia on the other hand was completely dumbfounded the moment that Henry walked out of the room. She had not expected that this guy was actually going to leave just like that. Wasn’t he supposed to explain to her what was going on?

It was a good thing that the person that she had found was a human, but even then, why was she not informed about where she currently was and so on?

As for the identity of the person, she was not worried about it anymore. Despite not quite believing it, she thought that this was definitely Henry. The trait that he was having, that was something that he had been having ever since he was young.

Due to the many interactions between Adam and Henry, with her being Adam’s twin sister, it was obvious that she had also interacted with Henry more often. Additionally, the two of them had gotten engaged at a young age.

It might be true that she could not understand what was going on at that time, and what engagement meant clearly at that time, but as she grew up, she got a good understanding of it.

So, of course, she understood Henry quite well, despite the fact that they had already been apart from each other for more than 10 years. But even then, there were always some things that would never change no matter how much time passed.

"Bastard!" Alicia cursed in a low voice as she looked at the door that had already been closed the moment that Henry walked out of the room.

In the end, she took a deep breath to calm herself down. She could not believe that Henry had actually come here. And since he was here, it was clear that he might be related to why she was saved.

As for the matter of her consciousness being restored, she was not really sure about it. At the same time, Henry had said something about her being unconscious for a long time, she could not help but wonder how long it had been.

But before that, she decided to look at the situation of her body. At that moment, she suddenly realized that her body had actually become stronger than before.

Despite the fact that she possessed dual affinity, one had to know that she was still a mage at the end of it all. So, it was clear that her body was definitely not going to be strong as compared to warriors.

But right now, she felt that the strength of her body had been increased by a great margin. Despite the fact that the level that she was currently in was still as it was before, level 9 of the gold rank, the advantage that she had gotten was not only related to the physical strength, but even the amount of energy that she currently possessed was actually almost double the previous time.

What Alicia did not know was the fact that the reason behind the increase in the energy was simply because of the strengthening of her consciousness. There was a kind of relationship between the consciousness and the energy that was controlled by mutant warriors.

As for the improvement in the strength of her physical body, that was related to the tempering of the body due to the injuries that she had suffered before. Additionally, it was also due to the transformation that she had undergone during the time that the zombie, Jason, was trying to transform her into a zombie before.

Alicia looked around the room. She realized that the room was completely unfamiliar to her, just as she had expected. Then, she began moving around, and looked towards the direction that she believed the bathroom was located.

She went ahead and moved in that direction. She did not have much difficulty when moving, considering that her body had fully recovered.

After she got into the bathroom, she looked at her reflection on the mirror, and she could not help but be a little dumbfounded by her appearance.

Currently, Alicia possessed long black hair that reached her upper back, with red eyes that were looking back at her. The color of the eyes had been maintained, but the color of the hair had been changed from brown to black.

She could not help but wonder what was going on. But then, she remembered about the transformation that she had been undergoing during the time that she was being transformed into a zombie, and there was another consciousness that was trying to take over hers.

She immediately looked at her hands, and she could only heave a sigh of relief the moment that she realized that her fingernails were still the same as before the transformation.

Her appearance had not changed that much from the previous time that she had seen herself in the mirror.

Alicia stretched her hand and touched the hair, and realized that there was no dye on it at all. It seemed that that was now the natural color of the hair.

Just as she was currently staying within the room, there was a sudden knock at the door. She could not help but stop her actions, and focus towards the door.

At this moment, she realized that the aura that was coming from the door was the one that she was familiar with, the one that belonged to Cynthia, her mother.

She could not help but get a little relieved the moment that she realized that her mother was alive, and she was here. Without hesitation, she immediately left the bathroom and headed to the door.

When she arrived there, she opened the door, and looked at her mother who was looking at her with joy in her eyes. Of course, she was excited about the fact that her daughter had recovered from the unconscious state that she had been in before.

Previously, after Henry left this place, he immediately informed Cynthia about Alicia waking up. Of course, Cynthia did not wait long and immediately rushed over to see her daughter.

"Let’s go in. There is a lot that I have to inform you about the current situation of the world as a whole." Cynthia stated excitedly as she grabbed Alicia’s hands, and pulled her into the room.
