Re:Immortal

Chapter 147

Seeing that Dina was so immersed in what she was doing that she failed to notice him caused Silas to raise his eyebrow. 'Even though she loves her researches, she was never this careless.' He thought to himself.

"Ahem." He cleared his throat, making his presence known, to his surprise, Dina raised her head to look at him for a second, a surprised expression on her face before she hurriedly ran towards him.

She hastily went to grab Silas' hands, yet he skillfully dodged her grasp, as he pointed at the bloody gloves that were inside a dead man's chest not a second ago.

"Ah, sorry." Realizing her mistake, Dina quickly removed the gloves and threw them inside a trash can before grabbing Silas by the shoulders, her face was a mixture of excitement and disbelief.

"Silas!" She yelled.

"I'm in front of you, no need to shout." He chuckled.

Dina ignored him as she dragged him closer to the dead 'Hunter' corpses. "Look!" She said while pointing at them.

Frowning, Silas glanced at the corpses yet failed to find anything strange. They all had the signature silver hair which all 'Hunter' masters had, but other than that he found nothing.

Each corpse had a different wound, some died by an obvious sword strike, others a celestial spell. Some were more intact, while others were barely hanging together by a thread. In total, there were ten dead bodies.

He turned his gaze to Dina who was looking at him with sparkling eyes. "So?" She asked.

Scratching his head, Silas had a puzzled face as he glanced back at the dead bodies and them at Dina's face before asking. "So, what exactly am I supposed to be looking at?" He asked confused.

"Ah dear, I forgot, you can't see it like this, wait a moment." Saying that she hastily ran to another table before grabbing an orb and bringing it to Silas.

"Here, use this." She said.

Grabbing the orb from her hand, Silas observed it for a second before a surprised expression made its way into his face, he turned to look at Dina and asked.

"Is this the Identifier?" He asked.

Nodding in confirmation, Dina replied. "Indeed it is."

"Why do you need this?" He asked clearly still confused. The Identifier was a special device with little use, it's main ability is to tell the difference between a celestial, a normal mortal, and a Demon.

The Identifier was only used for a game event when the Demon invasion occurred, it helped players recognize their enemies since no one could fake their essence under the Identifier.

For an Immortal, the orb would glow golden, when the target is a Demon, it would glow with a black color, while if the person was a mortal it would end up shining with a silver hew.

Silas had tried this special orb before, and he got the same result, so he was quite familiar with it. He had even tried it on a 'Hive' member's corpse before and that ended up glowing a golden color which confused him at first since it suggested that the 'Hive' were similar to the 'Immortals'.

Later on, he had figured out that the orb only glows golden if a person steps into the Immortal Realm, and sheds his mortal skin regardless of their race as long as they were not demons. It would also shine with a silver color if a person was still a mortal, regardless if they belonged to the 'Hive' or the Originals.

"Try it on me first so you can understand." Said Dina as she stepped forward.

Although confused, Silas still complied nonetheless as he brought the orb towards her. Sure enough, a golden color spewed out causing him to nod his head. "I'm not quite sure I don't understand what's the need for this exactly." He said.

"Just trust me, now try it on yourself." She added.

Shrugging his shoulders, Silas pushed his qi inside the orb once again as he brought it next to his body which as predicted caused the familiar golden glow to surge out of it.

He then turned to look at Dina waiting to see what she would say. To his surprise, she merely pointed at the dead 'Hunter' corpses on the table before speaking.

"Now trying it on them." She said, her voice seemed to crack as she visibly shivered.

Frowning, Silas did not argue as he brought the orb down on one of the dead bodies, only for his eyes to widen in shock at the color it emitted.

"Silver?!" He cried out in shock.

His head turned abruptly towards Dina who nodded with a serious expression on her face. As if refusing to accept this situation, Silas brought the orb from one body to another, yet the situation remained the same, what greeted him was the silver color that should belong to a Mortal.

"Could the Identifier be wrong?" He asked, only for Dina to shake her head.

"You tried it yourself dear, didn't you?" She said.

"But still..." He muttered, before closing his eyes and sending his divine message to Hann one of his disciples who had yet to pass the threshold to become Immortal.

It did not take long before Mace appeared on the laboratory floor, behind him was Hann who had a respectful expression on his face.

"Greetings Grandmaster, Young Mistress." He said with a deep bow.

Waving his hand, Silas spoke. "No matter, come here." He said impatiently causing Hann to be slightly confused, ever since he could remember the Grandmaster was always a calm and collected person, yet now he seemed to be anxious.

Not daring to make him wait, Hann stepped forward. Silas then brought the Identifier in front of him before injecting it with his qi, sure enough, a silver color similar to that of when he tried it on the 'Hunter' corpses appeared confirming his suspicions.

Hann was confused as he stood there, only for Silas to dismiss him with a wave of his hand. He gave another respectful bow and before leaving.

"Crazy stuff if you ask me." Said Mace with a shrug of his shoulders.

"This is ridiculous." Muttered Silas as he glanced at him and then back at Dina who nodded her head before replying.

"I know."
