Alexis returned back to his camp after following the marks he had left on the trees while he entered the deeper parts of the forest...
Since it was getting dark soon, he quickly took a bath and sat down next to the fire he had made.
He then took out the documents he had collected from the building and went through them one by one, what he found was something which even he did not expect!
Alexis originally thought that it was some super soldier facility but...
”Forced to copulate with a beast? What the fuck have these guys been doing?” He shouted and read through the contents of the document and frowned.
Even if he was a ruthless person, he too had a sense of morality, this little archaeological adventure became something quite uncomfortable for him...
”I was right... that Laboratory was a human experimental facility” he mused over his earlier meeting with that grey humanoid.
”Was it one of the women that was experimented on or a spawn of a Tiered beast and a woman?” he asked himself out loud...
” [I have received orders from his majesty, continue with the experiments. We need progress and we must ensure that none of these 'matters' are disclosed to the public] ” he kept on reading the papers one by one.
” [May the Gods forgive me for my sins, I can no longer continue working in this hell on earth. This is wrong! We might end up being punished by the Gods for our actions...] ”
”bold words” Alexis commented.
” [It's over... they have done it, the first human beast hybrid. This creature is too powerful they needed two hundred Divine Knights to subdue it...] ”
”Two hundred!?” He shouted and eagerly read the next one.
” [Whoever finds this letter, what happened in this Laboratory is something which must never be unearthed, even to this day I still hear the screams and pleas of the thousands of women forced into this disgusting experiment, but nobody cares! I feel like I'm working with the devils. May their souls rest in peace for I know mine won't...] ”
”tch not this one!” he frowned and picked another one.
” [From: Head Scientist Marvo,
The beast has gotten smarter and keeps getting smarter! Just yesterday I had a conversation with it, this is great news. Once it has gotten enough intelligence we can use it as a weapon in the coming war! Sir General, however there is some bad news, there is one scientist who is a bit upset about what is going on. We might need to terminate him!
To: General Lancer] ”
”Tier beasts can't talk to humans, what the hell did they make?” He mumbled.
” [This is it, they think that the beast is under the tip of their thumb but the beast has them by their necks! When I look at it conversing with the Head Scientist, It's eyes scream 'rage' and 'anger', these people don't know what they have done, before I die I just want anyone who finds this letter to know that I'm sorry for what i have been working for, using women from destroyed nations as experiments...] ”
The rest weren't necessarily important...
”But... what a mess!” Alexis sighed, his ancestors were seriously a different breed of humans.
He then proceeded to throw the documents into the fire and went inside his tent to sleep.
The next morning, he woke up refreshed and turned to the fire, it was dying.
There were still some pieces of paper in the fire but they were very small and held no importance...
Alexis brushed his teeth and started stretching.
Today he would absorb a Mana core he had gotten from his toughest opponent yet, a Tier 6 beast.
Normal mages of the Saint Knight tier can never win against a Tier 6 beast but Alexis is anything but normal.
Using his cunningness and intelligence, Alexis managed to defeat a Tier 6 beast, it's element was a Darkness type, the glassy orb was pitch black and looked ominous.
Alexis took it out of his Spacial ring and held it in is hand.
He followed the instructions told by Philip.
First, he had to get into a meditative pose and close his eyes, then he had to cover the orb with his mana and then crack open it.
If it was open forcefully and all the mana inside the core was let out instantly, the user of the core would die due to the extreme purity, the death also depended on the element...
Alexis would not risk dying even if he was immortal... If it was pseudo-immortality then he would die if he was gravely wounded, therefore he followed the instructions and patiently cracked the orb gently.
The cracking process took him four hours, but it was still not over...
Once the Darkness mana orb started leaking its mana slowly, he would have to absorb and refine it at a constant pace so that there are no pockets of unrefined mana.
The entire process was straining on his body, it has been almost six hours excluding the cracking process.
His legs went numb after staying in one pose for nearly ten hours.
The next day, Alexis opened his eyes gently, the orb was on the ground but the black colour was gone and it seemed like an empty ball of glass...
Alexis who opened his eyes couldn't see that for a second, his eyes, not just the pupil, but the entire eye was pitch black and looked demonic!
He then got up, only to fall on the ground and sleep.
Once again he opened his eyes, this time he was more energetic and lively than before, his eyes had returned to it's normal state.
He felt his legs and took a long cold bath in the river.
Alexis then continued his daily routine and eagerly waited for the day he could finally leave, but he would miss the beasts that would warily look at him...
