Chapter 376 - 3 new Experiments and a Bonus Surprise.

With the admirable mutated Chicken safe in the cell, he will be able to experiment on the three remaining Rats that have never been tested on before. There is no reason to leave this experiment for later. There is enough space for more, however experimenting on them now will mean that he will have to wait to work on this again in January.

He has tested what external parts of a Demon can do to a Rat and a Chicken come to think of it, after consumption. But what if they test the consumption of internal organs on fresh Rats?

As a base of these completely different tests, he has chosen to let the Rats consume Demon Liver, Demon Lung and Demon Heart. What will happen after consumption? Well there is only one way to figure it out.

"Alama, can you write this down please?" King Michael asked, after spending half an hour admiring the Chicken. It is fair to say that Alama got jealous about it just a tad bit.

"Are you sure? Or do you need a moment alone with your little girlfriend there?" She joked around of course, but it is still a bit jealous.

"Hehehe." He giggled a tad bit and added, "Don't worry, this is just a work relationship."

"I beg to differ. But what should I write?" She finally got to the point of experimenting, hoping to get his attention away from the mutated Chicken.

"Demon Liver, fresh Rat as the Consumer." He specified with short phrases, at least both of them will be able to understand it if they look over it a month or a year from now.

King Michael dropped the rotten smelly Demon Liver through the little cage, witnessed the Rat rush to consume it once it figured out that it is food. It barely took a few seconds for the mutation to follow, King Michael figures that the mutation follows the second after the meat reaches the Consumer's stomach.

What they witnessed now, rather interesting. He actually feels happy that the mutation turned out this way, although pretty much useless in many aspects. The Rat grew horns above its head, nothing beautiful like Deer Antlers either. They just look like pure typical Demon Horns.

Black in colour and with a curve in the middle which makes the horns point slightly inwards towards each other. These Horns aren't tremendously big either, by that I mean they did not grow half a foot long. They are just big enough to fit the Rat's head perfectly, and really are just a couple of inches long.

"Fascinating, random at best but fascinating." He spoke with a mild tone, eyebrows raised trying to figure out how a Demon Liver leads to a head mutation.

To make this experiment a tad bit more interesting, it seems like the Rat's aggression has multiplied by an unpredictable amount. It is hitting the Cage with all its force, although ineffective against metal, it feels like this little fellow can pierce flesh.

"Write this down Miss. Alama." The King requested, not even bothering to look back since he knows that the Guards are still protecting her just in case the Chicken gets out of Control.

Seeing that she hasn't spoke, signifying that she is ready to hear him out, the King continued. "Result, 2 inch Horns on its head and a massively increased aggression, demonic craze is a possible side effect." Obviously with such a result he will never test this on a Human, but it is good that they found out about it before time instead of letting a Human randomly consume Demon Liver.

"Done and done professor, shall we move to the next experiment?" She joked around, but to King Michael it feels like a sweet light melody. One because she has an amazingly soft tone, two because she isn't holding him back with pointless questions and conversations.

"Yes my assistant." He teased back, and could already feel the grumpy glare of being called an assistant considering that she literally is an investor.

He moved on to the next Rat, at the second cage and dropped in the Demon Lung in there. The Rat consumed it as if it was told, and the result although not the most interesting so far, it sure came out unexpected like everything else in this experimental log. "Demon Lung, Fresh Rat as the Consumer."

The Rat's pink tail grew almost triple in size, stretching a foot long now. The Rat doesn't seem to have it difficult on maneuvering the tail though, meaning it isn't dragging it behind.

The Rat can move the tail a few inches in front of its face, resembling some sort of attack? It isn't absolutely certain why it did this activity. But the point is that the tail is bigger and stronger, furthermore it even uses the tail to hang on the ceiling of the little cage, much like a Bat.

"Well the results are definitely interesting although I don't know how it would turn out on another animal, nonetheless what would happen to a Human if one would consume it. We should figure it out for later. For now just write that the Result is a Foot long tail, strong and agile." Obviously he had a lot to say about this experiment but can't in no way figure out how to weaponize it, it definitely doesn't link with a longer life span either.

"Lets get it over with the third Rat already, those Demon Carcasses are smelling worse by the passing day!" Alama complained, saying what the Guards never could have.

"You're right, you're right about the stench. Next time we will get nose plugs or anything like that, the smell tends to tamper with concentration a bit." King Michael protected her word, although in a small little aspect it felt like the word was against him.

"Write this down and we can be done for the month. Demon Heart, Fresh Rat as the consumer." When he is talking about a Fresh Rat, he of course means one that never has been mutated.

He tosses the small bit of Demon Heart meat in the Cage and prepares for the worst, hearing the story of the past Electus it never is a good idea to eat a Heart, especially if that Heart belongs to someone or something unusual.

"Write this down, write this down, write this down." A tone repeated, but it wasn't King Michael nor the four people behind him!!!

They all were left in shock, and for a break of a second thought that a Ghost walked in the room and was mocking the King. The tone, squeaky and medium but it resembles Human language.

"By the love of Sources and the God above them, this Rat is speaking!" King Michael panicked, but also felt amazed about this amazing discovery!

"Speaking speaking speaking speaking speaking speaking speaking speaking speaking speaking." The Rat continuously repeated, as if it was broken or anything similar to that.

"Cross that, I think it has just attained tone mimicry. Possible intelligence boost could be a side effect, be sure to write that down." His enthusiasm met a horrendous nudge down, at one second he thought that he figured out how to make Rats talk and now he understood that it is but a pale imitation.

Right after Alama wrote it down, more surprises came in this very room, well technically from an external source. My point is, a Guard rushed in the room in the lookout for the King.

"Sire, there are over 600 people walking towards our Domain!" The Guard spoke without asking for permission, gasping for air obviously because he ran here.

"Do they seem threatening?" King Michael swiftly asked, fearing that this situation can turn for the worse. How much sacrifices were made to finish off 800 enemies in Pameres Kingdom? Gaster Kingdom would not stand a chance at the moment.

"We are not sure, they are over half a kilometer far. All our Platoons are out in the open in aims of withstanding the possible threat. There was some talk that these people have black helmets." The Guard specified bit by bit as much one could under breath.

...

Flying over the wall to check on the situation, King Michael spotted this mass population. They don't seem like Soldiers, although he could see all the Black Dots from this distance.

Afterwards, interesting enough he saw four people of this group blasting Fire from their feet and flying up, they have likely noticed the King flying.

These approachers are obviously Fire Manipulators, so he has much hesitation to shoot them down considering the fact that how rare they are. However he can take them if things turn out for the worst, as long as all four of them aren't Grand Masters.

A minute after, he could recognize familiar faces more and more. A little boy, with short hair as dark as coal along with a kind face. This for sure is Eric and it only took the King seconds to recognize him after they got close enough.

As for another familiar face, this old man with a short black beard beneath his chin, and a Hat over his head surely to hide some bald spots. This is indeed Mogranius, and the King could practically sense the sarcasm.

In mid air, the King decided to exchange some dialogue along with a warm welcome after he sighed in relief. "Welcome, looks like you made some new friends." Of course here he is referring to the lady Fire Blasters here, Dilli and Osira.
