Chapter 9 - Experiment

Elsewhere)

Somewhere deep underground a laboratory was going on full alert. It was situated under a city of Alikh's most advanced medical facilities.

The place was a glass cabin of 250m² equipped with state-of-the-art technological medical supplies, machines, and tools.

With a frightened voice, a man wearing a full-body suit like the ones used for radioactive protection ."H-How long do you believe it will take for it to breakthrough?"…

Another man answered. This one was standing on top of a platform viewing the entire operation "We do not know Soldier, please remain calm and induce it with more of the TX-55 solution."…

What was rather disturbing was the fact that in the middle of the glass cabin was another container about 2-meter diameter with reinforced and extremely thick glass this one, however, was filled with a green liquid and inside it was some sort of life form the container was riddled with cracks and fissures but none was leaking? That case, however, was not going to last for long. The life form was wriggling and revolting trying to escape the pod.

The soldier pressed some buttons on a machine that was close to the glass only to be rewarded with a jump scare from the monster that slammed his palms and face into the glass making more crakes in it. It was…Humanoid but no eyes and with no hair scales here and there covering his red skin and atop his head were horns. Like a monster from a nightmare. This was a tainted demon. Unlike normal demons that are presumed extinct, these creatures are a degenerate version of the more powerful faster deadlier and most of all vicious, they gave up on their sanity, not like the originals had any, to begin with for more power by inducing the corruption or what is known as the blight to their bodies. It changed them on a genetic level leading to the extinction of their original form into this mindless abomination. These creatures are a form of Gore.

The Gores are monsters that have been tainted by the blight losing their minds. In most cases, the mind is destroyed and what remains is a husk of murderous intents. But in the rarest of cases, a host can still manage and hold onto their sanity while still benefiting from the powers of the transformation.

However, this case has been confirmed only within demonic existences and sacred beasts. Creatures with magnificent magic ability. As for humans, corruption is equivalent to death, there has been not a single case of a corrupted human that retained their sanity it was and always be the fall of the human that ever was unlucky to have been tainted by this wretched blight.

The tainted demon wriggled and squirmed some more stating his disapproval of being confined by making the container more fragile and weaker.

A solution was being poured into the container from tubes that were linked to it, right after the soldier scurried away from it sighing in relief.

The creature seemed to stabilize and his temper seemed to quiet down. The experiment ends with sighs of relief and the dismissal of most personal except some of the cleaning crew.
