"That is an abnormal called Holler." He explained.

"'Holler'. What kind of name is that?"

"Don't ask me. I didn't name them." He said and pointed toward the Glowing-eye abnormal who I now know is called a 'Holler'.

"Hmm… So. What is she doing with that… Holler?" I asked.

"She's using a skill on it." He said and a hologram popped up on top of his watch.

"Here. This is the skill she's using." He said and a new page was opened in front of me.

I looked at the screen and it read.

Mind Dominance:- A skill that can be used to dominate the mind of creatures who are lower tiered than you.

Cost:- 5000 White coins

Expenditure cost:-

0.2 mana point per hour for 1st tier creatures.

0.4 mana point per hour for 2nd tier creatures.

0.8 mana point per hour for 3rd tier creatures.

So on…

Using the skill:-

Dominating the mind of a 1st tier creature will require about 1 hour of concentrated focus. Bending it to your will will require 100 hours.

Dominating the mind of a 2st tier creature will require about 2 hour of concentrated focus. Bending it to your will will require 200 hours.

Dominating the mind of a 3st tier creature will require about 4 hour of concentrated focus. Bending it to your will will require 400 hours.

So on…

Note:- Don't remove the creature from the User's presence during that time or the connection will break and the User will have to start the process all over again.

Note:- This is a skill that consumes a lot of mana. The person using this skill will probably not be able to use another mana related skill. Buy with caution.

After reading the page, I went to the top and read it a few more times before it became clear to me.

"You're trying to dominate it's mind?" I asked as I looked at Neha who was pouring all of her focus on the Holler who was writhing pitifully on the ground.

"Yes. After the 200 hours had passed. It'll be the new addition of our team." He said in a nonchalant manner as if was an everyday occurrence.

I felt a bit wrong about using this skill. After all, the Holler might not be a human being but there was intelligence in his eyes.

To make a slave out of an intelligent creature…

I didn't feel very good about it.

But that didn't mean I would object to Neha using that skill on him.

It was a dog eat dog world now.

If you're weak, then you'll just be taken advantage of be used by those stronger than you.

Emotions like compassion and kindness will only get you killed in this world.

"I see." I said and looked at Neha who was fully focused on the Holler "It's said that you only use this skill on creature who are lower tier than you. How is she able to use it on him?"

"Him? Oh! I see. I see why you would think it is a higher tiered creature. After all, it is much more powerful than a 3rd tier abnormal and is even able to control them with it's roars. But if you knew about them then you would understand that this Holler is not a higher tiered creature. Oh no brother. If it was a 4th tier Holler then we would not be having this conversation right now. Because we not have lived two seconds against a 4th tier Holler as we are now." He explained.

"So… that Holler is not a 4th tier creature?"

"No. That Holler is not a 4th tier creature. In fact. It is not even 3rd tier."

"You're kidding me."

"No I'm not little brother." He said and chuckled "Hollers are very powerful beings. Much more powerful than a normal abnormal. And much more rare."

"In fact, you can only find a single Holler among 50,000 abnormals." He said. "They are powerful enough to go against a creature that is 2 tiers higher than itself. And they also have the special ability to control weaker abnormals with it's voice."

"I see." I said and looked at the Holler once again.

So that being was only a 2nd tier creature. And already so powerful.

'It makes me fell a bit jealous.' I thought and smiled and then expression turned grim and I looked at Rahul before asking "Is Gaurav still alive?"

"He is." Rahul replied and then added "But he has many broken bones in his body and has suffered through multiple organ failures. He is alive but it will take him about a week or more to heal properly."

"Hmm… What about the other people in the team?"

"Three of our people died that night. One against the Holler. One in the hands of a 3rd tier abnormal. And the last one was crushed by numerous 1st and 2nd tiers. Aside from that, six other were heavily injured while the rest all suffered some minor injuries."

"I see." I said and tried to wonder how this could have been averted if the Holler was not present in that place.

'All this death and destruction brought by a single abnormal.' I thought and looked at him as Neha tried to focus on entering him mind.

'Well. At least he'll fight on our side from now on.'

"Aside from that. A small group of survivors numbering 12 people recently joined our camp." He said in a monotone and I wondered how he felt about seeing his followers grow in numbers.

"Why are you telling me about that?" I asked with disinterest.

Aside from my immediate family, I really had no interest in any other person in the camp. Well, except for Jasvinder, Upma and Gaurav. Even then, they were acquaintance at worst and friends at best.

Rahul just shrugged in reply and wondered if he really wants to reach Kolkata in this life or not.

"I'm going out hunting for a while." I said as I gave one last look to Neha and raised my hand.

"My stuff."

He nodded and passed on my spatial ring to me which I instantly wore and turned around to leave.

"I'll come back by tomorrow afternoon. Contact me through the walkie talkie if something major comes up."
