Chapter 141 - Chapter 141

Arathorn Beorhtric and Gibson Cuthbert were able to get out .alive and were seen running without pants as panic and fear were seen on their faces, Zeta and Vandom Ragnar wanted to massacre their entire family, but she pointed out a communication device and contacted her mother at Arcane and informed her of what happened.

After hearing this, Zeta and Vandom Ragnar wanted to massacre their entire family, but she pointed out that doing this might ruin her reputation, so she wanted to act discreetly. She wanted to know if Omael Drorkanel was available and conscious enough to have a small conversation, knowing his connection to the criminal underworld.

After considering her options, she decided to reach out to Omael Drorkanel, a well-known figure in the criminal underworld. She knew that he had connections and resources that could help her discreetly gather information about those who had wronged her without damaging her reputation.

her father gave out a very specific name and it was Homunculus Imperial Hellmage commander Echo, so without wasting time she contacted Echo and requested information about the people associated with the dead man she just killed, Echo happily came over by the transfer gate and saw she was taking a bath while Echo just grab the head and place it inside her magical storage sack bag, and while casting a blood cleaning spell she just burned the body and waited for Irles Filri to finish her bath and saw her room was already clean,

Echo was four feet tall and her reptilian tail was coiled around her waist like a decorative belt was casually sitting on a sofa right next to the main window in her room and was reading her diary,

" huh! Hay! Don't read that, it is personal!"

"sorry I can't help it, you really love Master Ramiel that much, i never expected a cold-hearted assassin would fall head over heels for him!"

"you haven't fallen in love before?"

"I never got a chance, I was killed in the great fall when our town was destroyed by one of Demiurgos enemies,"

"so nah I have no idea what it feels like to fall in love"

"Don't you guys have emotions?"

"ah! in that part we are really lacking, we can remember the action we made toward a being we had shared emotions before, but its totally different from actually feeling it,"

"I observe that even your mother commander Zeta is just doing things that she recalled doing and it comes out to the receiving person as an emotional response, but sadly it's not,"

"Beta told me the moment we do feel emotion it means we are no longer

Homunculu beings but an actual living entity."

"anyway after extracting info on those foolish men can I join the hunt?"

"do you want to join my hunt, it's going to be an annoying task and it won't be that easy, we are not just going about killing them "

"ah! you have a plan in mind, right? the more reasons i need to join you, wait to give me till morning il get the information you need,"

Echo hurriedly just went back to her underground laboratory where she conducts and resumed all of the experiments on casting new spells and extracting sensitive information on living beings was being kept in a highly secure facility. As Echo walked through the corridors, there were numerous large sealed, barrel-sized glass containers place on multi-layer secured metal glass cabinets Inside it, there was a suspension liquid that had been personally formulated to preserve brain function even if it had been surgically detached from the main body.

The container was being closely monitored by a team of Symbiote Homunculus scientists who were studying the effects of this type of technique on various species. The implications of this research were staggering it could potentially lead to new breakthroughs in medical science and revolutionize the way we think about life and death.

However, there were also ethical concerns surrounding the use of this technology, and many people were questioning whether it was right to keep brains alive outside of their bodies. Despite these concerns, the scientists remained dedicated to their work, as Echo was given certain regulations on these experiments that only criminals are allowed to be used as test subjects,

Echo, or Liafra Dhathri when alive was a force to be reckoned with. Despite her young age of only 18, she had already made a name for herself as the infamous "mad witch". Criminals would disappear without a trace, only to become her unwilling test subjects in her twisted experiments.

However, Echo's reign of terror came to an abrupt end when her secret base became entangled with the Sovereign War campaign. Her once impenetrable fortress was no match for the advanced weaponry and tactics of the Sovereign forces. Echo was captured and brought to justice for her heinous crimes against humanity. Despite her capture, rumours still circulate about the true extent of Echo's powers and the horrors she inflicted upon those who crossed her path. Some even whisper that she may still be alive, waiting for the right moment to exact revenge on those who wronged her.

All of these were just stories to scare little children, but in reality, she was just too focused and dedicated to expanding her knowledge As she delved deeper into her studies, she became increasingly fascinated by the mysteries of the universe. She spent countless hours poring over ancient texts and conducting experiments in her laboratory, always searching for new insights and discoveries.

to unlock the secrets of the cosmos and uncover the hidden truths that lay beyond our understanding. And though some may have dismissed her as a mere dreamer or a mad scientist, she knew that one day her efforts would be rewarded with a greater understanding of the world around us. So she continued on,

She was driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge and a burning desire to explore vast, unknown lands even after she had died and became trapped within the dark miasma for many years like everyone else. But right after Ramiel purified her soul and she became a loyal member of his Homunculus team, she could pursue her dream once again

With her soul purified and free from the dark miasma, the Homunculus team welcomed her with open arms. Her burning desire to explore vast, unknown lands was rekindled, and she felt alive once again.

at the end of the long corridor was her main room, she took out the sack and placed Kennard Haigh's decapitated head in the same glass container that was on top of her long table and place it beside another glass container with another decapitated head that was unexpectedly still alive.

Omael Drorkanel was submerged in liquid to preserve his brain function while a metallic cord and wires were attached to his nerves and were flowing inside the glass container fully awake and conscious,

Echo tap the glass container and this woke up Omael as he screamed in an agonizing held scream of pain, and beg her to just kill her, after days of being in prison were tolerable and even accepted his death, waking up in this condition was evil and sadistic and was beyond repentance, his voice sounded artificial because Echo used a sound crystal to mimic his vocal cords so he can still talk and be heard outside the glass container,

"you were not even there when they came for me!"

"why are you doing this to me!"

"Is this the punishment i had to pay for all of the atrocities i made in the past?"

"I beg you to release me from this torment and suffering,"

"NO!"

"The moment I came to be, I have seen all of the memories that my master experienced dealing with your kind, unlike the rest who were used to doing vile things, you on the other hand was enjoying it,"

"and I don't need to hear you answer my question the moment I show you something your brain will recall the information in it voluntarily, because the brain was created to react that way,"

"so here."

Echo moves the new container as the severed head of Omael began to manifest symbols on a mirror device that has a dozen wires connected to his brain, soon names suddenly formed and revealed the name of two perpetrators, with this task done Echo just place a cover on Omael container left the room and wonder if she can have move sample to test on,

"the mind is a fascinating thing to study,"

"Anyway I am in need of nourishment, il ask maam Irles Filri later if she can cook something for me even if we really don't need to eat to live,"

"But why do Symbiote Homunculus need to do a routinary task like eating or drinking even if we don't have the capacity to taste nor distinguish flavours,"

"i am, my own experiment this time, this is quite a conundrum!"
