The tower elder who was fighting the dark child stopped his attacks and looked at his opponent. His opponent was clearly a specimen from one of their laboratories but at the same time it was different. He could faintly feel that there was something different about the dark child.
He had participated in the initial stages of that experiment and no matter what they did, the experiment failed until this one remained. He withstood his mana core being filled with overflowing mana but as the experiment progressed, his body started to deteriorate. It showed signs of decay and the lines on his body were proof of it.
Now, he could tell that those cracks on his skin had disappeared and that the specimen was more stable. Even his mana core has stabilized and had a strange red glow surrounding it. Someone who could alleviate the symptoms of decay and strengthen a mana core, he had not encountered anyone like that before.
Here's the chapter guys! I hope you won't get bored though because it's mostly narration. Enjoy!
