Chapter 102: Exploring the embassy
When Leo opened his eyes he was once again surrounded in absolute darkness but something was different.
Leo could hear a pulsating sound and alot of slimy noises.
Leo thought back about what he saw in the mirror and already knew where he was.
"Let's hope I am correct on this one..." thought Leo.
He shapeshifted his arm in a blade and struck the inner layer of flesh.
The flesh did not budge in the slightest, it bent around the blade softening the blow.
Leo struck the flesh a couple more times and a tearing sound could be heard.
With one more strike, the flesh tore and Leo could see a soft beam of light.
Leo transformed his arm back into it's normal form and grabbed the tear he created with his hands, pulling it apart and creating an opening for him to leave.
Leo got slightly startled when he saw his hands, they were grey and deformed.
However when he looked at his chest he noticed that he was in his original form and calmed down a bit.
Leo tore a hole through the cocoon he was in and slipped out of it, hitting the ground with a soft thud.
He quickly stood up and inspected his body.
His body was covered in a slimy mucus and flesh-like tendrils were attached to him being connected back to the cocoon.
It appeared that his body was being nourished by the tendrils since his physical body felt stronger somehow.
A shudder ran through Leo's body as he thought about what sogrith said earlier to him.
"The creature hasn't killed anyone except those who struggled."
At that point Leo could guess what nourished him.
Leo wiped the mucus off his body before transforming his arm into a blade once again.
He grabbed one of the tendrils connected to his arm and slightly pulled on it, making sure there was tension on it.
"Let's hope this tendril isn't connected to my neural system or this will hurt like hell." thought Leo
Leo struck the tendril quickly and precisely, due to him putting tension on the tendril it severed quickly.
"Alright, one down four more to go."
There was a tendril connected to the back of each of his shoulders, calves and one connected to his upper back.
After severing all of the tendrils Leo could finally freely move.
He didn't manage to fully cut off the tendrils due to their positioning on his body so there was still small pieces attached to his body, but they were dying off quite quickly, way quicker than a normal piece of flesh would decay.
Leo steadily walked towards the door before opening it.
Surprisingly the door opened, Leo expected it to be sealed with flesh.
When Leo entered the hallway he found exactly what he expected.
A hallway covered in gore.
The entire hallway was covered in flesh, some of the walls had eyes and even mouths.
There were also arms on the walls and they would reach out to anything moving.
The flesh appeared to not block any doors, instead opting to creep under the small crack at the door in order to enter a room.
The eyes on the wall all focused on Leo as he walked through the hallway.
They followed his every move but no other reaction was seen beside that.
Some of the hands on the walls also reached for him but he just brushed them off.
Leo opened the door to one of the rooms and was instantly startled.
There were numerous corpses pinned against the walls, they were partly covered in flesh.
In the parts that were exposed Leo could see an advanced stage of necrosis.
Each time the tumorous flesh growth on their bodies pulsated the necrosis would spread farther.
"Guess that these are some of the people that struggled." thought Leo.
Leo walked out of the room before heading to the next one.
When Leo walked in the room he saw what appeared to be a dormitory.
numerous bodies were pinned against the walls and floor, there was a massive eye on the ceiling that was overseeing all the bodies.
When Leo entered the room the eye quickly focused on him.
four flesh tendrils shot out towards Leo but right as they were about to hit they stopped.
The eye on the ceiling shed what appeared to be a massive tear before focusing his vision on the other people in the room.
There was one major difference between the people from this room and the last room Leo was in.
That was that these people were alive.
