The blade of the Prisoner cracked. Dark clouds leaked out from inside the sword.
The sword enlarged and transford. From an ordinary small blade, it transford into a huge broad blade with black wings as its guard.
Large black feathers appeared on the handle of the blade then spread onto Carter. Soon, he was completely covered in black feathers.
The noses of the Terrors twitched. All of them snapped their head toward Carter’s direction. They beca aggravated and rushed at him like they just slled the best al they could ever eat.
Carter twisted the handle. The black feathers on him erupted. The feathers shot out and sliced all the Terrors near him.
[Synchronization 3.9%]
[Current Synchronization]: 19.1%
The initial transformation granted a boost of synchronization.
The remaining feathers killed most of the Terrors around Carter. They were cut like pigs and fell on the ground. Dark blood soaked the ground.

Nina fell down to the ground and fainted because of the shockwave.
The Eldritch Knight slowly walked forward. He tilted his head toward the direction Alan had disappeared to.
In the darkness, the large body of Alan lurking. Carter could see Alan. The panic on his face and the sweat on his skin. He was terrified.
"What the hell is that?! And they said that this is a lower dinsion?" Alan didn’t look back. He ran as quickly as he could.
Carter raised his sword then threw it at Alan.
The Prisoner transford into a hawk and pierced through the air.
Alan’s ears twitched as he heard the shrieking sound of the hawk. He turned back only to witness it splitting his back.
Carter raised his hand. The hawk transford back into a blade and flew back to Carter. It brought Alan with it.
The Eldritch Knight grabbed Alan’s throat.
"Please! rcy!" Alan groaned in pain.
Carter grabbed his throat and lifted his feet off the ground. The gagging noise ca out of Alan’s mouth.
"Not so tough now, Prir."
"I... I don’t know you... Why do this?" Alan tried his best to speak out.
"Did you already forget this rat?" Carter smirked under the mask.
Alan widened his eyes. The last thought of him was denial. He couldn’t believe that the weak newbie he bullied was a monster of a character.
"You! Can’t be!"
"Goodbye." Carter crushed his throat and his neck.
Alan’s head titled to the side as life left him.
"Hmmm... I wonder..."
Carter plunged his hand into Alan. A pulsing hamr icon appeared on Alan’s head and a progress bar slowly filled up.
Soon, Alan’s body disintegrated into nothingness. Not even ash was left behind.
[ 1 Minor Cyber Slave Skin Shard (Mortal)]
’A Cyber Slave Skin Shard? I wonder if it’ll be any good.’
Then Carter looked at the countless Terrors on the ground.
’Can’t waste these corpses.’

’I already have enough Skin Shards to make a skin...’
Carter’s eyes darted to the woman on the ground, Nina. She was dying.
’There is a more important thing to do at hand.’
Carter looked at the red circle on his chest. Half of it had almost disappeared. That was the countdown for how long he could stay in this form.
Eldritch Knight could only use the Unbound form for 99 seconds. After that, there would be grave consequences.
Carter tapped the circle and deactivated the form. The feathered armor disappeared and the white robe returned. He had returned to his human form.
Carter picked Nina up and walked away.
’This woman is a Cyber Slave but she’s useful.’
Carter found a small garage nearby. He used the Prisoner to break the lock and lifted the garage door open. Eldritch Knight was surprisingly strong. Superhuman strength. It made the garage door feel like paper in Carter’s hand.
But Carter felt extrely familiar with this body. He could control the strength of the Eldritch Knight like he had been the skin for many years.
The higher the Synchronization, the better he was at controlling. Synchronization wasn’t simply a goal. It also helped him use the skin more efficiently.
’So this is the true power behind Synchronization.’
Carter left Nina on the table. There was no one in the garage at all. This entire town seed like it was deserted. But every piece of electronics still worked.
That puzzled Carter a little.
He found a piece of cloth inside the garage and wrapped it around Nina’s eyes. Then he began to do what he brought her here for.
Carter’s fingers plunged into the Cyber Core in her right arm. Electricity blasted out imdiately.
It didn’t hurt Carter but it made Nina convulse imdiately. She would die quicker if Carter continued. So he stopped.
’A failsafe... I should have known.’
The Cyber Core would kill the Cyber Slave if it was removed. Carter would have died if he tried to remove the Cyber Core the ordinary way.
’I can’t force it out. But maybe System Ghost can. Equip System Ghost!’
