Chapter 258 Captivity

-----

Warning! Your Health Points are below 10%!

Countdown to Death

10…, 9…

----

Legolas was horrified by the virtual interface notification.

For a long time, he already lost track of time since he was captured. After he was captured, he didn't even see where he was going since he passed out. But after regaining himself, he could see nothing due to extreme exhaustion.

His eyes were too heavy, he could not open them.

The only thing that appeared before him was his virtual interface. And it was not any soul-lifting notifications, it was always notifications about freaking death!

His heart literally leapt out of his throat as he saw this recent notification.

'F*ck! Since when did the interface started doing countdown to death?!'

Even as he was freaking out, he was also amazed by the fact that despite being too weak and exhausted his brain was so active.

Amid his inner turmoil, he heard them again…

"The test subject's life signals are fluctuating again".

"Prepare to inject the…"

Legolas felt the familiar watery stream enter his body through his smooth bottom as every sound faded away again, leaving only his virtual interface.

-----

Warning! Your Health Points have only stabilized at 10%!

----

Legolas could finally heave an inner sigh of relief.

He didn't know how long it had been, but this was his routine during all this time. It was so frequent that he felt like he was going crazy already.

He felt annoyed and irritated. 'When will this torture end?'

Clang!

"…"

Legolas's mind paused, he was surprised by the new sound so early.

Originally, after the watery stream entered his body and all sound disappeared, it would stay that way for a long time so why the difference today.

While he speculated a lot of things, he heard a familiar voice.

"Inject him with the Adrenaline 0-PG13 shot".

"…" Legolas felt goosebumps at hearing this familiar voice.

-----

You have been swept by an energy check!

----

After a long time of ignoring him, Clown finally visited.

Legolas felt a little anxious, due to his severe injuries, his telepathic connection with his beasts became looser than ever before.

He felt worried. 'What have been the developments in my absence?'

'Is Clown already the King of the planet?'

'Are my students dead?'

The thoughts and worries in his head were too much that his brain activity spiked, but it didn't matter much since an unfamiliar watery stream entered his body. The next moment, Legolas felt energy returning to him.

He opened his eyes to see a brightly-illuminated chamber.

Due to his familiarity with the style, he instantly recognized that this was a laboratory, a big one and Legolas had a great bet that this was located at the headquarters of the Clown Society in the Hellfire Mountains.

As he strained to adapt to the bright lighting and observe more, a familiar part flesh and part mechanic face arrived before him.

"You don't look as surprised as I would have expected". This psychopath had a curious look on his face. "Have you been kidnapped before?"

His eyes turned weird. "Or have you been to a laboratory before?"

"…"

Legolas did not reply, not that he could even if he wanted, he was still too weak to be able to utter any coherent word.

Clown continued. "Well, you are a special one indeed".

"16 years of age, yet you already are so strong and have so many achievements". He scrutinized Legolas. "You definitely have a big secret".

"Normally, I would like to ask you but I have a better way".

"When you become my next Bio-Mechanic monster, you will unconditionally obey me, you'll tell me all about your secrets then, I'm patient". He chuckled.

"You're a precious test subject, so expect princely treatment".

"Hehe…" This mad scientist rubbed his hands excitedly.

Clown gave orders as the assisting machines turned the test subject around, while he was turned around, Legolas used that opportunity to look.

This was when he discovered that this laboratory was ridiculously large, it's space alone was like a mansion which reinforced his take that this was the volcano.

Apart from that, there were 3 more valuable test subjects like him here. A gigantic Cockroach monster, a Flying Mantis with Dragon Wings, and a Crocodile.

Whirr!

As he heard the sound of machinery, Legolas felt his heart leap.

At the moment of his capture, he already configured his mind for a lot of things but at the D-moment, he felt his conviction failing. Legolas felt fear as he thought of all the horrifying things that this mad scientist could do to him.

Clown spent a few minutes looking through the previous scan reports, and for an hour, he continued and did his own comprehensive scan of the test subject.

"Interesting…, what an interesting test subject…"

His voice was laced with pure excitement and fascination, it was that excitement consistent of crazy scientists who found objects of their passions.

To Clown, Legolas was already one of his best test subject samples.

WHIRR!

The next moment, the machinery sound increased, Legolas felt his heart skip a beat. That was the least of his problems, what followed was an experience that Legolas will not forget all his lives, the machine dug into his skin.

"Umm…Guaggrrhaaaa…!!!"

Legolas tried to bear it but he could not, he literally roared in pain as the machine delicately sliced into his skin.

Incoherent words flowed out of his mouth amid his screaming.

"Hahaha…!"

"Hehehe…, prime test subject!" Clown laughed amid Legolas's painful screams, the screams seemed to give him joy and fuel his passion for his work.

Legolas' outer skin was literally peeled off by this machine, the pain was searing and unbearable, his virtual interface kept on bringing notifications.

After peeling it off, Clown brought his magnum opus, Giant runes.

After experimenting on himself, Clown's research increased by leaps and bounds, he recognized some mistakes that he made and he improved.

After then, he was able to transplant the runes of a Giant into normal harvested beast scales. His theory was that implanting these rune scales on human flesh had a higher compatibility than direct rune implantation.

These were part of his experiment to get the ultimate body for evolution.

Legolas, the strange boy became his latest test subject. All his previous test subjects died, but he had faith that this boy was different.

"Prove to me that you are different!" His eyes shone with a crazy glint.

As he implanted the scale runes into the boy's skin, Legolas felt like he was in hell and back. The searing hot sensation, the feeling like a thousand ants were drilling through his flesh, Legolas felt like he was going crazy.

His endurance was dragged to the very limits.

Legolas screamed and gaggled in pain till he went into a seizure.

Incompatibility issues…, body rejecting foreign tissue…

Incompatibility issues…

[Recalibrating…, +8% Compatibility!]

Incompatibility issues reduced…, body still rejecting foreign tissue…

----

Clown watched the scanners attentively with hopeful eyes.

Like all his previous human test subjects, Legolas's body aggressively rejected the foreign tissue, this continued till at one point…, the rejection suddenly lessened!

Clown's eyes gleamed sharply.

"He's different!" He declared sharply as he ordered for more adrenaline doses, they helped Legolas and gave him the energy to pass through the critical stage.

After 20 minutes of torture, Legolas passed out but for the moment, he was safe. His body still rejected it but to a slightly milder extent.

Clown jumped excitedly at his success. "I did it!"

"I f*cking did it!"

After a few seconds of celebration, he finally stopped and checked the data. He finished checking all the facts in 2 minutes before ordering his assistants.

"Take him to the Abyss hole to recover in the darkness".

"Yes, your Excellency, but what of his beast?"

"…" Clown paused, then he waved his hand dismissively. "Dump him there too, the beast may survive if they're lucky".

"If not, no problem, I already got my data".

"As for him…" He looked at Legolas and smirked. "My experiment was a partial success, I have a strong hunch that he'll survive".

"Yes, your Excellency!"

They moved the unconscious test subject who already partially outlived his usefulness and his beast before dumping them in the gigantic hole, the Abyss hole.

Since he was also weak, Predator could not resist.

Thud!

Predator's senses were assaulted by the thick scent of death, a lot of test subjects have been dumped here, the total darkness also embraced him.

Instantly after entering the darkness, though he was unconscious, Legolas's virtual interface lit up another notification.
