章節 9: THE PRINCESS WHO WAS KILLED

The program that was executed in this experiment ended already. Visible physical changes in the body of the experimental specimen, or now more appropriately referred to like him. It can be said physically 88% similar to modern humans. His face inherited Meyrlion but in the female version, while his eyes, eyebrows, and hair were inherited from Jack. What a strange combination.

But the anticipated awareness never came. While in the experiment monitoring screen, a number of red alert posts appeared that Jack had ignored. The alert reads an error to trigger awareness because the development of brain volume still does not meet the target index.

"What's wrong, Jack?" Meyrlion asked. "Seems like a heavy obstacle?"

"The target experiment is reached but there is one important thing missing, it's the development of the volume of the brain is still too small, so it can't support the entire system in his body. No wonder up until now, the specimen still unable to wake up."

"So what will you do, Jack?"

"First, I think we should leave it as it is, while we are looking for the best resolution ..."

Suddenly, Meyrlion closed Jack's mouth with his left palm. "Be quiet for a moment, someone approaches"

Meyrlion's instincts and sensitivity work well. His sixth sense has been well trained as the side result of practicing magic diligently. His sense now has the ability to sense the wave fluctuations or the energy of another approaching magus.

"How many?" Jack whispers.

"Two people in one hundred meter, fifteen in three hundreds meter." Meyrlion answer in whispers mode too.

"How strong ?"

"Very strong, Jack. Their aura felt too sinister.." Meyrlion then put his left ear to the ground.

"Seems the first group, which consist only two people are not what we thought before. It's a man pursuing a woman. Her aura felt so freighted. She seems weaker than the man... Goss, why are they heading toward this building, Jack? Let's get hidden" Myerlion raised his hand to the right with his palm open.

Driing...

A complicated magic circle with a sigils pattern suddenly appeared floating in the air. Jack was just stunned to see the ability of Meyrlion. A second later, Meyrlion had dragged Jack into the circle, and then the two of them suddenly disappeared without any trace.

Zap !

Two minutes later...

Zrak!

At that time, a lab door that has never been locked was opened by someone roughly.

A beautiful woman in his early of twenty with wavy black hair and wearing a uniform like a magic knight broke into the lab. His breath is irregular. Her body was wet with sweat. Her back has been embedded with several small arrows that caused severe scorch and spread unpleasant odor. Her face was full of scratches and burnt marks.

From the adjacent but invisible dimensions, Meyrlion could see all that. He could judge that the woman had just fought a group of Pyromages or fire based mages.

"Please ... let me hide here ..." she said in a wheezing voice.

But there was no one in the room. No answer. No one.

Frantically, she looked for the best hiding place, however...

Zrakkk!

This time the lab door slammed roughly again. Someone in black uniform and wearing a demon patterned mask walked in quietly. His whole body emitted a terrible aura. His existence also provides enormous magic pressure. Even Jack who was completely blind about magic skills could feel the darkness of his magical power. From his gestures, he gave the impression that he had killed many people.

With a sadistic smile, he stepped towards the woman. Then he spoke slowly in eerie tone "You may hate me, but you should realize that killing someone is a small sacrifice for the sovereignty of a king. It happens everywhere and whenever a new king raise. History always told us. Even more, history itself always repeat the same old song. Do you understand, Princess Diaz? You should realize too that you are just a foolish princess who always believes that rightness will solve everything. But the truth is, life will never be fair ..."

"Have you done barking? Why don't you just defecate? I heard dogs always marking his territory by barking and spreading his feces. It is so unlucky for anyone to see the sceneries when the dogs defecate while barking and moaning..."

The air around that woman was change suddenly. It appears she has come to her resolve, to launched her final attack and take her enemies to the hell together.

With a desperate battle cry, she unsheathed her sword and jumps to her enemies. She slashes her enemies with all her might countlessly.

But her enemy has already prepared for such suicidal attack. His left hands are already on his magical wand-spear. Then he raised his right hand towards Princess Diaz with his palm open. His lips were chirping to read spells quickly. And for the next moment, a countless number of black flame gushed toward the princess.

That black fire was extremely hot. Without mercy, the girl's body was devoured by the ferocious wave of fire.

"Hahaha ... futile! Hahaha ..." the man laughed evilly. His face looked satisfied to see his victim drooping dying of black fire.

Meyrlion and Jack were stunned by the sight.

Screams of pain sounded wrenching, interspersed with words of curse and profanity from the princess.

But it was useless, in a very short time, her uniform was burned out. Likewise her hair, both arms, and legs are also burned out until no bones are left over. Then the extraordinarily hot black flame preyed on her face, slowly devour her facial skin and melting her flesh. The smell of sickening burning flesh floated in the air.

Her body is no longer able to survive, slowly sways and then bounces into the opposite direction.

Then there was a series of strange coincidences in the eyes of Jack and Meyrlion who still peeking from the next dimension.

The charred girl's body strangely falls into the capsule-coffin-like. For some reason, the capsule experiment door was opened. The pressure from the charred body drop into the capsule causes the capsule door to sway and falls to close the capsule door hole.

And suddenly, all the instruments of that experimental worked again, as if repeating the experiment automatically because they had obtained material that was previously lacking.

Only Jack and Meyrlion felt that this was very odd and too strange to be coincidental. But they had not much time to think even further when the next incident happened.

The heat generated by the man triggers the fire alarm. The sound of the siren rang loudly and the water spray on the upper ceiling worked automatically.

Riiiing ... riiiing ... riing ...

The man is shocked, not understanding what had happened.

Serrr ...

Water spray works aggressively. The whole room unexceptionally becomes wet. Including him who start to think about the existence of such unknown trap. With very caution, he backed away slowly, without realizing that he was approaching the electric panel of this room.

"Checkmate!" Jack smiled inside the hiding dimension. Then he asked Meyrlion to get out right behind that man.

A moment later, the man's body jerked as if as being hit by high-voltage electricity. "What kind of attack is this? What kind of energy is this?" He was shocked but did not have time to execute any countermeasure. Because a moment later he collapsed and fall forward with a charred body that has been consumed by the high voltage of electricity.

Behind him, Jack smiled as he held two high-voltage electrical cables that were accidentally pulled from the electric panel. Both ends of the cable have been peeled to the naked one without a protective wrapper. And both ends spread some smoke and the smell of burning meat.

"Instant Karma," Meyrlion whispers. He feels as if the horror feeling has been spread all over his body, "Damn you, Jack, fortunately, I'm not your victim ..."

"No way, how can I do that to you? Come on bro. Remember, there are still fifteen more guests to come. I think they are all no match for you. Please have fun as much as you like. And please do not kill them, I need some helper to take care of all the facilities in this lab."

"It is easy, Jack" Meyrlion laughed. "Damn it you, do you really want slaves that badly?"

" No, brother. All I need is some servants, a head butler, some guard for local security purpose, and a few maids to help us running this facility. I have a plan to re-operate all the lab's facility for our convenience. So I hope you don't kill them. All they need is just some whips to tame them. That will do. Well, I do have a plan to experiment with some harsh method too..." Jack laughed. "Or, do you need my help to tame them, brother?"

"Hell, no. I myself was enough to deal with them. Moreover, I want to release some accumulated stress due to my friendship with you. You know, your last attack is too horrible..."

"His method was too gruesome too. I really regret had been watching it. That was a good example of instant karma..."

"Agree... well then I take my leave now. I'll pick your butlers up ..."

"Be careful bro..."

Seconds later, Meyrlion has been disappeared from Jack sight, teleported to the place where the intruders gather.
