"...." Raffaelo felt a stinging pain on his head as his eyes slowly regained focus. He slowly raised his head as he felt another stinging pain from his eyes as the light shone bright on his face. "Huh..." he mumbled, adjusting his field of vision to the way it was before he used it to see in the dark. '.....I guess the sensitivity matters' he thought as his vision finally lowered focus enabling him to observe his environment. He heard some clicking noise like the sound of glass utensils being used and on turning to his left, his expression slowly became dark. "You're finally awake I see". A woman with a well defined body structure and full bosoms was busy handling some glass tubes and a beaker. It contained a green liquid and she seemed to be analyzing it. Her eyes were green and a scaly tail hung out openly from her lab coat. Her skin seemed tough and her arms and legs were covered with hard scales. She had long brown hair and two elf-like ears popped out in the messy bundle she tied it into. "....why is a Reptilian still in the Kingdom ?" A species that was long ago banished from the Kingdom because of their persistent indulgence in the inhumane occult arts. "....." she ignored him and continued with her tasks. "You're the first and only son of the Jun huh....it's hard to believe you found this place through the tomb alone. Did someone tell you of this place ? You're only 10 which makes it more suspicious....I can see why the madam has taken a liking to you..." ".....you talk a lot..." Raffaelo said with a raised brow and she turned sharply at him with her stinging gaze. "You don't seem to understand your situation do you..." "...honestly, maybe we should just take care of all this problems all together" raffaelo ignored her while he contemplated on what to do next. "You've been captured and those chains". She referred to the chains that bind his arms to the walls and the clubs on his feets. "Those chains seal off both your mana and aura" ".....you really investigated that much in such a little time...." He said as he turned around. It felt weird that she was the only one currently in the wide laboratory room. ".....you have other branches". He said and her expression gave off a perplexed hue. "....why do you know that much....aren't you supposed to be 10 ?" She held a syringe in her hand and sucked in the green liquid in it as she slowly walked closer to him. ".....a truth serum ?" He asked as he slowly turned his gaze at her. Her perplexed expression turned into a mix of confusion and annoyance. "At least leave that task for me" She said as she closed the distance between them. "The madam wouldn't mind if you were left half-dead....after all you are a Jun....I'm going to get all the information you possess....do you understand ?" It felt more like a statement than a warning question and he didn't welcome it in any bit. A sigh exuded his lips as he bowed his head. "Don't get cocky..." he said as the air around him grew cold. Her eyebrows furrowed as she took some steps back. "What ? What are you doing?" He slowly turned his gaze towards the counter to find the woman still hiding. "Do not worry. I shall take care of her when I am done with you" it said, taking a step forward. "...and for what reason ? I am not involved in any aspect related to you..." "No...it is you....you humans that have used my kind for your pleasure for centuries ! I shall eradicate your kind from the face of the earth !" '.....a lion head with a bad temper....they really must be of the beast kin...but it seems their lineage had been cut short by the absurd taste of Layla' He held out his sword, as he struggled to stand back up. "I can't let you do that....I have problems of my own you see....so I can not afford to die". "...a mere chickling dares to ?" The air around the lab suddenly grew cold at an instantaneous rate. The walls and the ground of the lab had slowly turned into a snowy field. "Why do grown ups like saying that about me anyways". 'I never really use it do I ?" He thought, lowering the temperature of the environment at an exponential rate. The creature snarled as its feet slowly froze up to the ground. "What sort of sorcery..." It roared as it stumped its feet on the ground letting out a mighty roar. It caused the cold air to dissipate and the freedom of his body temperature was returned to him. It was about charging towards him when its eyes dilated in shock. "Don't worry....I'll come to you" Raffaelo appeared in front of him at the blink of an eye as he swung his sword towards the creature's neck. ****** ".....what did you say just now ?" Michaelo muttered as his annoyed gaze was fixed on the ghost. "It is like I said....your son is too unique for me to let go....I require him in my research" "....you....how could you possibly be undergoing research when you're a ghost ?" "...why do you care so much about the details ? Won't you give him to me. I wanted you first but your son foolishly followed you here and now I want him instead" "..." Michaelo's expression could no longer be described with words. A dark annoyed expression took over it as he recited his code, summoning his sword in his palms. "I do not know what it is that you wish to 'Research' but I will tell you one thing.....my son....hand him over to me" 'That kid....' He thought as a chilling presence exuded his body. "...." she remained silent while he slowly took steps, towards he
