11 Chapter 11 (1/2)
”What the heck...”, Infront of Alexis stood a collapsed building.
He didn't need to be an archaeologist to know that this particular building was old, what shocked was the damage done to it.
This building that looked very similar to a chateau had deep slashes on it's pale yellow walls, they didn't seem like magic attacks... a tier beast perhaps?
Curiousity took over him as he walked inside.
Alexis had to be careful because the building looked very fragile, one wrong move would mean that he would be trapped under the ruins...
”Not that I would mind getting smashed into paste by a building because I'm immortal...” he mumbled and pushed open the rusting iron door.
*grrrt*
It would be hard for an ordinary person but because Alexis was a Saint Knight mage, his strength was enough to open the door slowly, but it opened and Alexis went inside.
The interior of the building seemed quite advanced or rather complex, it wasn't necessarily the technology inside but the items it contained...
Alexis who was right in the middle of what seemed like an ancient hall, looked around and found something very odd.
”...A notice board?” He was puzzled but moved closer to it.
The notice board was made of metal framing which held a glass panel and the notices were underneath the glass panel...
”Day 15th of Month 1, Year 566 K.F, Lunar Kingdom Special Laboratory, opens!” He read out loud.
”...”
”Kingdom?” He tilted his head, Alexis shrugged and walked away.
He had better things to do than solve a mystery...
As Alexis walked around the building, he gathered some papers and documents that had miraculously survived against the seeds of time.
Most of these documents were written in Ancient Lunarian while some, a couple of them, which were most likely written in some kind of code, he deduced.
He also found the remains of some people, he was pretty sure a Tiered beast had attacked this laboratory and killed the scientists or whatever...
Alexis then found a staircase which led him down to the lower levels which were underground.
Once the stairs ended, Alexis found another iron door, this one was well secured and hadn't rusted at all.
Alexis pushed it open, what was behind the metal door was a narrow pathway with many rooms, possibly cages? The doors leading to these rooms too were made in metal...
Something about this place didn't seem right to Alexis, why would there be a special Laboratory inside the beast forest? He was also curious as to why the laboratory wasn't called something related to Tiered Beasts.
Alexis picked one room randomly and went in.
Immediately as he stepped into the room, his eyes turned sharp.
'...what the hell was that?!' He thought as his hand unconsciously moved to his sword, Alexis looked around inside this dark room...
Just as he entered the room, he felt a presence of something... it was something he was quite familiar with but this one seemed a bit off?
His free hand quickly made a Light magic circle which brightened up the whole room.
Earlier on, Philip had told Alexis that his affinity was towards Ice, at first he didn't really get it but once he explained what he meant, he understood everything.
A person who hasn't used mana is called a ”Virgin Mage”, and if the said ”Virgin mage” used one of the elements while trying out mana, he or she would automatically be able to use the said element with ease when compared to other elements...
Since he used Ice when he was small to get rid of the warmth of the summer nights, Alexis could use Ice magic easily, aswell as the two Prime elements, which are Wind and Water.
This does not mean that a mage cannot use any other elements!
Back to the story, Alexis lit the room up with his light element, he felt it strain him a bit, but it wasn't that bad considering he was surviving in the beast forest...
Once the room was brightened up, he saw what gave him an uneasy feeling...
”God... you are one ugly bastard!” He frowned, infront of him was a grey humanoid creature, it was hanging on the top right corner of the room.
It's head had some strands of hair while the face was an absolute abomination... it's eyes were halfway out of it's face and looked disgusting while the nose was just two small holes.
The mouth had a few human looking teeth and was open, the drool fell down on the floor as Alexis observed it...
”Let me do you a favour and get rid of you once and for all!” He said and fired countless beams of light at it.
The beams of light went through it's body as it fell on the ground, bleeding dark red blood...
The humanoid creature didn't even bother dodging and waited for the beams to kill it.
Alexis saw the creature welcome it's death as if it had accepted it...
”T..Thy...Thys..ti..ne” croaked the dying creature as Alexis' eyes widened, he then smirked and shot a light beam through it's head, instantly killing it.
”To think that it can speak Ancient Lunarian, ”Thank you” huh? Maybe you were a human that was experimented on?” He asked the dead creature and laughed at his theory...
His gut instinct told him he was not wrong, infact, it screamed something totally different to what he thought at first.
'If this is not a Tier beast research facility, I would get the proof from the documents in my ring... it would give some entertainment while I'm stick here.' he told himself.
”But it is a possibility... it is more believable than a spy, reincarnating!” He muttered with a smile and left the building.
