BXBX NOVEL Chapter 126 Daydreaming
In a dark room, large tubes filled with green liquid and fetuses were lined up. The sound of water bubbling and electricity screeching could be heard several times. Large pipes were visible in the ceiling along with dangling cables.
A woman with long black hair and a pair of wings around her waist was busy with her desk full of beakers. She picked up a glass filled with green liquid and swirled it around. Her red eyes watched as the liquid slowly turned blue.
Then a smile broke out on her face.
"It worked!"
The woman looked elated, then she ran to one of the tubes containing a human fetus. Her hand picked up a hose connected to the tube. She injected the blue liquid.
The liquid inside the tube turned cyan. The fetus inside slowly grew; from a baby, to a toddler, a child, a teenager, and into an adult man. Its muscles grow muscular and its skin was grading like quartz sand.
The winged woman spread her arms and laughed so loudly that her voice echoed in the room.
"Finally! The Super Homunculus is created! Hahahaha!"
Seeing the homunculus inside the tube, she touched the glass with a smile.
"My dear baby, you can\'t wait to jump into the world, right? Mommy will let you go. Be patient."
In that mother-son moment, a fat man interrupted them.
"Sorry to interrupt, Lady Xenovia." The fat man said with a trembling mouth. A frightened tone could be heard in his every word. "The situation outside the lab is getting worse. The humans seem to be able to break through the castle\'s defenses. While other monsters are busy fighting in the west of the island."
Hearing that, the smile on Earl Xenovia\'s face vanished. She looked at the fat man with a disgusted expression on her face.
"Piggy, why is it that every time I hear a word out of your mouth it\'s always about bad news."
The man called Piggy lowered his head. His body was trembling. "I\'m sorry if I\'ve displeased you, my lady. I\'m here to suggest that we should evacuate to the Crystal Core Room immediately."
The expression shown by Earl Xenovia turned sour. She stretched out her hand as if reaching out to Piggy. Suddenly, the fat man floated in the air and flew towards her.
"Keeeugh!"
Her delicate hands tightly gripped Piggy\'s neck. The poor man could only squirm like a strangled pig.
"You disgusting creature," Earl Xenovia scoffed. "Don\'t act like you\'re going to die. How dare you order me around. Didn\'t I tell you, you just go along with my plan. Do you think your mistress is powerless against those lowly humans?"
Bam!
Earl Xenovia slammed Piggy so hard that he rolled on the floor. Then, that man quickly prostrated himself.
"Forgive me, Lady. I did not dare to fight you. I will not repeat it."
Piggy said those words repeatedly. His body was shaking. Tears streamed down his face. His tongue tasted salty.
"You incompetent Dungeon Manager." Instead of mercy or pity, another insulting sentence escaped from the cruel-hearted woman. "Let the human morons in here. Deploy the main monster warriors on the 3rd Floor. Now get out of my sight."
Oink!
The breath stopped in his chest. Piggy quickly got up and ran towards the exit. However, the poor guy stopped.
Seeing her assistant stop at the door, Earl Xenovia was stunned. She reprimanded him, but Piggy was still silent. The fat man did not answer or move at all. Instead, he seemed to open his mouth wide and trembled.
"What\'s wrong? Hurry up and do your work!" snapped Eark Xenovia.
"You\'re so rude to your assistant."
It was not Piggy who answered her, but a charismatic and unfamiliar voice. Gaping, his assistant slowly stepped back. A white-haired man appeared from behind shadow. The man\'s complexion looked pale white, but the look in his eyes was intense. Blood seemed to stain the black clothes he wore.
Earl Xenovia squinted. "Who are you? How did you get in this far."
Her head was filled with questions. Inside the castle was not empty, hundreds of powerful monsters from her experiments stood guard on every corner. Earl Xenovia had only deployed homunculus to test their strength. Judging from the blood staining that man\'s clothes, it was likely that he finished all monster inside the castle. It would take at least a platoon of C and B class human troops to defeat her monster warrior.
Only demons could possibly do that.
However, the system did not detect it. Moreover, she did not sense any demon aura from the man at all.
Earl Xenovia swung a hand in the air, accessing the control panel. She opened the 3rd Floor dungeon map. There were no black dots.
"You\'re not human. Who the hell are you?"
The white-haired man only smirked. He walked over to her. When he passed Piggy, he turned his head and smiled at the Dungeon Manager.
"You may leave. Do as your master commands."
"Keeeuggh!"
Without hesitation, Piggy quickly ran out of the lab. He left his master and the mysterious man alone without any hesitation.
Now, Earl Xenovia had a serious face. Her red eyes were staring warily at that mysterious man.
"Come closer, you will meet your death..." A soft, cold, and threatening voice escaped from Earl Xenovia.
The mysterious man was seen raising his hand into the air, then his hand seemed to be swallowed by space. Not long after, a blackish-green greatsword was in his grasp.
Seeing that, Earl Xenovia suddenly opened her eyes wide while smiling, her lips almost touched her ears. She laughed loudly.
"This is interesting! There\'s a demon infiltrating my dungeon together with a human! This is completely beyond my expectations! Brilliant! I didn\'t expect that there would be demons who would take advantage of these dumb creatures."
The sound of laughter stopped. The expression Earl Xenovia showed turned serious. "What is your name, Lord?"
The man grinned. "Isaac Constantine."
Hearing the answer, both of Earl Xenovia\'s eyeballs opened wide for a moment.
"Oh, so you the one who killed that moron Gustav. Shouldn\'t we be on the same side?" The Earl snorted. She shook his head. "Well, that\'s doesn\'t matter anymore."
Her red eyes glowed. Her wings spread out. Tiny invisible dust jumped up and down. Chemical equipment, tables, hoses, tubes; various objects around her shook.
"For a Baron you don\'t know your place. I will show you death."
The situation turned gripping. A strong murderous aura emanated from Earl Xenovia. However, there was no fear on Isaac\'s face.
He just grinned while brandishing the greatword. "Come, let\'s begin."

"Guo Chen!"
A woman\'s yell awakened him. Wang Yi was shaking him as if his spirit was leaving his body. The woman looked very worried.
"Fool! How could you daydream in the middle of battle!"
Guo Chen was still not one hundred percent conscious. Then a hard slap landed on his cheek, only then did he return to the world.
The sounds of battle continued to ring out again. The dark sky was filled with giant bats. Bursts of fire and flashes of lightning from magic repeatedly decorated the terror-filled night. The hunters are still fighting desperately against the homunculus. In the midst of the battle, an ogre-like monster was seen rampaging in the middle of the field. A little girl with blue hair jumped here and there, trying to kill that monster.
Seeing the horrifying scene before him, Guo Chen finally realized that he was still in the middle of the battle.
He hissed, then a name appeared in his head. "Brother Isaac..."
Wang Mei squinted when she heard it.
Suddenly, from the top of the 10-meter-high concrete wall, Guo Chen jumped into the sea of people. The sudden action of the black-haired young man astonished Wang Mei.
"Hey! Where are you going!"
Guo Chen ignored her call and continued to run through the crowd. Wang Mei was about to chase after her subordinate, but her attention was drawn to the sound of warhorns echoing through the air.
Not only her, the hunters who were busy fighting were looking up at the sky.
Dozens of monsters with incomprehensible shapes appeared. The ogres had bat wings; the harpies were masculine-looking; the centaurs had snake hair and bird wings. Various unusual monsters filled the black sky. Meanwhile, the giant bats quickly stepped aside, as if they were afraid of becoming prey. Everyone who witnessed it turned pale.
However, that was not all.
One of the hunters shouted while pointing towards the outside of the wall.
"Look!"
Hundreds of pairs of red eyes glowed in the darkness. The distracted monsters on the west side of the island were heading towards the castle. In fact, the battle had only been going on for less than ten minutes.
At that very moment, without leaning back Wang Mei said, "We\'re fucked up."
