The Villain's Little Cat

When Kate was in the cat’s form, she realized that her training speed was actually a bit faster than when she was in human’s form.

She has been wondering whether this was because she was in the same form as these giant mutated animals or it was because of her abilities.

And as she advanced accidentally in her fusion ability, she began to realize the strength behind this seemingly ordinary ability. It was harder to advance the fusion ability than other abilities.

But it was extremely strong when it was properly developed.

To be able to completely imitate the abilities of the beast she fused with as long as she practiced long enough. However, so far, she didn’t try to fuse with other animals and only the cat because she was a bit worried that she would end up stuck in other form for a long period of time.

For the time being, Kate already felt that she was strong.

There was no need for her to be overly strong.

Just take her time and learn about her abilities slowly but surely.

"Oh, right, a cat definitely takes lesser place than a dog." Lotte laughed when she thought of Kate’s small cat’s form.

When Kate was in her cat’s form, for some reason, she would always end up being a little cat that was aged a few months old at most. She couldn’t get any bigger and this often made Kate a bit frustrated.

She felt like she was affected by the same illness that the children fairytales story also had.

Unable to get old.

But only in the cat’s form.

When she was in the human’s form, she could return to her 22 to 23 year old age. Though, she was not sure whether this would be the case when she got old in the future. That would be something to be known when she finally got old.

For now, she didn’t care.

"Wang! Wang!" <Robby didn’t take a lot of space! Robby is definitely a good boy!> Robby barked and protested vehemently.

He didn’t want to take this accusation!

"Compared to Kate, your body is indeed bigger." Marc looked at his dog and patted Robby’s head.

"Wang! Wang!" <Robby can’t control his body’s size! It’s all Master’s fault!>

Marc looked at his dog speechlessly. Who taught this to his dog?

"Let’s talk while going to the helicopter range. There will be pilot prepared for the two of you." Kyle glanced at Marc and Lucy.

"Got it." Lucy nodded.

"So, any details about the missions you can tell us? You barely tell us anything about the mission aside from the fact that it’s located at the island not far from the mainland and then it’s related to the source." Jake trusted that Kyle would not pit them, but it would be better for them to know more about the mission.

"Our task is to retrieve the source. At the same time, we have to be prepared for the possibilities of fighting with other forces there. There are a lot of people who got the wind that the source is there and willing to risk their lives to obtain it." Kyle walked and glanced at Kate when they reached the area where there were no people around.

Kate understood his gaze and smiled lightly, turning into a cat with a ball of light.

"Meow~." <Now, I’m small and you have to carry me if we want to go fast.>

Kyle looked at Kate in amusement and replied in his mind, <I know.>

He picked Kate up while the others were waiting patiently for him to finish the story about the missions.

"These forces didn’t only include the small forces that had emerged in our country for the past year. There are also some lone wolves who are confident with their strength and wanted to try their luck. At the same time, there will be foreign forces."

Foreign forces.

There was not only one country in the entire world, which was very obvious.

The source was still in relatively open water area, which didn’t really belong to their country but could also be categorized inside. It had been under debate for a long time, which hadn’t been resolved even until these giant mutated animals appeared along with those red rains.

At this time, they were already trying to claim their ownership of the island and everything above it.

But of course, it was not so easy.

"If I’m not wrong, that areas had several islands, mostly small ones, surrounding it." Marc pursed his lips. "There will be a lot of manpower needed if we want to maintain the exclusive ownership."

"That’s impossible." Even the stupid Jake knew this much.

These giant mutated animals had already crippled many countries’ military and forces. Even if many countries were already recovering slowly but surely, the damages caused by these giant mutated animals couldn’t be recovered so quickly.

Not to mention, they wouldn’t be able to have enough manpower to guard those islands so tightly and prevent others from coming.

Kyle nodded. "It’s indeed impossible, which is why our opponents are not only the local groups but also other groups from foreign countries that might come forward and snatch it."

Lotte groaned. "That’s going to be annoying."

The so called diplomatic thing was very complicated and Lotte would feel headache when she thought about it. Her parents educational background allowed her to know bits and pieces before these giant mutated animals’ appearance, but it was not enough to know the details.

"Of course, if we’re lucky, we wouldn’t meet them in our designated island." Kyle shrugged.

The others glanced at Kyle, including Kate in his arms.

At this time, they just wanted to say that relying on luck seemed to be very unreliable. It would be better for them to rely on their strength that could be seen rather than something called luck that couldn’t be verified.

Though, internally, they also hoped for this luck.

No one wanted to escalate the conflict to another degree by involving other countries.
