The Labyrinth Kingdom

Chaptre 87. Blood Cocoon

"Because all the data I need has been obtained and all of you have passed the first test. We will go to the next stage now, "said Alice with enthusiasm.

"What should we do next? " Task Raluk.

"That's a simple task, you see those glass tubes? " ask Alice while pointing towards the glass tube that filled the room.

"Yes, there are many of them" replied Raluk.

"Your next task is to get into those tubes, simple is not it! " say Alice.

"Ehhh, get in there? " asked Raluk a little doubtful.

"Yes, each one of you. What are you waiting for, move quickly? Don't waste my time "snaps Alice.

The goblins quickly ran towards the tubes and one by one began to enter.

"Good! Then, we will continue to the next stage of the trial. He he. " said Alice with a wicked smile.

He pressed the red button on the 'Main Control Machine' to activate the tools in the room.

Instantly, the glass tubes began to close and shut the Goblins inside.

After that, a green liquid began to fill the tubes slowly to the brim.

"Mph...! "

"Mmmm...! "

"Your...! Buk...! Buk...! "

"Mgh...! "

As the green liquid began to fill the tube, the Goblins inside began to panic and try to hold their breath from drowning.

Some goblins even started hitting glass tubes, trying to get out. But, it's useless.

"Don't waste your energy, the tube won't break as hard as you hit it.

The tube is made of glass oxide mixed with alumina, even if you use medium-level magic to attack it, it will not be destroyed" explained Alice.

Hearing Alice's explanation, the Goblins began to stop banging the tubes. But they keep trying to communicate.

"Mph...! Mph...! " (get me out!)

"Mgh...! Mgh...! Mgh...! " (i can't breathe)

"Mgh...! Mph...! Mph...! Mgh...! " (Am I being deceived, right now.)

Looking at the Goblins who were constantly moaning and making noise. Alice sighed and spoke.

"Sigh~ Shut up! After all, you will not drown in that liquid. Open your mouth and try to breathe, "command Alice.

Hearing Alice's orders, Raluk and the other Goblins tried to open their mouths.

But....

'Glup... Glup... Glup... '

Instantly, the green caira barged into their throats and made them choke.

'Ugh... Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk! '

The goblins coughed a few times. But, they could breathe inside that green liquid right now.

"Ehhh, what is this? "

"Looky! I can breathe. "

"I feel like a fish. "

The Goblins were quite surprised by this strange phenomenon and enjoyed the sensation.

"You're all quiet! " snaps Alice.

The previously noisy and noisy Goblins calmed down after receiving a warning from Alice.

"The water you previously swallowed was the sap from the Maldehyde tree. The fluid serves to strengthen the body and stabilize the performance of your internal organs.

So, you should drink as much liquid as possible if you do not want to die because the real experiment will start now. " Alicia warned.

He looked at the Goblins who were busy swallowing as much Maldehyde sap as possible.

When he felt the time was right.

Alice presses one of the buttons on the 'Main Control Machine' (MCM) and opens the valve from the hose attached to the tube.

From the hose, out a deep red liquid that directly meets the glass tube.

In an instant, the Goblins who were originally excited and cheerful, began to shout out in pain.

"Argh! Help...! "

"It hurts a lot, Ggrrrtttkkk....! "

"Aaaarrrgggh.... Buk up! Buk up! Buk up! "

"Akhs... My body feels very hot. "

"My skin and meat are melting, Ugh...! "

"Help me! It's very painful..... "

The sound of screams of pain and cries for help resounded loudly within the room.

Even some Goblins continuously banged their heads against the experiment tube because they could not stand the pain they were experiencing.

"Focus down! Don't lose your consciousness, fight the pain "cried Alice trying to resuscitate the Goblins.

The former adventurers who witnessed everything from the beginning, were both terrified and shocked to see the torture the Goblins were subjected to.

They could see clearly that Raluk and his men's bodies were slowly being crushed and turned into thousands of very thin red threads.

However, that was not what shocked Conley's group, but rather the Goblins' hearts that were currently still beating even though their bodies had been destroyed.

"What The Hell....! " ingrid murmured after seeing the strangeness that was going on before his eyes.

"Are they still alive, despite being in such a state? " Amara wondered.

"Behold." muttered Bodil.

"......"

Conley looked at Alice who was currently standing in front (MCM) observing the experimental process she was doing.

"Hmmm, so far the process of destruction has gone well, so the problem now is the process of reshaping after destruction. " Alice murmured to monitor the condition of the Goblins seriously.

When he felt that the process of destruction had been perfect.

Again, Alice presses one of the buttons on (MCM) to open the other hose valve.

This time, from the hose came a bright blue liquid that bound the red threads that had filled the experiment tube.

Slowly, the red threads move around the heart and other internal organs to form a blood cocoon.

Seeing this, Alice began to feel calm.

"Good! In this way the initial stage has been completed. "murm Alice.

But...

'Wiuuu... Wiuu... A wiuuu.... '

Suddenly, sirens and emergency lights lit up in some experiment tubes.

"Ehhh, what happened? what's that noise? " ingrid said in a panic.

"Look at the glass tube over there! " said Conley pointing to one of the tubes whose emergency lights were on.

"Which one? Which was? " said Bodil.

The other members spontaneously looked in the direction pointed by Conley.

What they saw was the Blood Cocoon that had previously formed inside the tube, shattered apart and the internal organs protected by the cocoon were beginning to decay.

This indicates that the Goblin in the Experiment tube has died completely.

"Sigh~ is unfortunate, 13 Goblins have died in a short time. I hope the rest can last until the end" said Alice.

He was trying to save as many Goblins as he could right now.

**************

Time slowly passed.

30 Minutes later, the number of Goblins who had died reached 32 people and the number of experimental tubes that experienced rejection increased.

Alice is still trying to find a way out of this problem.

An hour later.

"How many have died? " ask Ingrid.

"At least 67 goblins have died in total" Conley replied.

"No! now it's 68, see there? " amara said pointing towards the experimental tube that her Blood Cocoon had just destroyed.

"......"

"Hey! do you think any Goblins survived this experiment? " whispers Bodil.

"Csssttt... Be quiet! Don't say it's in this place" Conley warned Bodil.

Hearing Conley's warning, Bodil immediately turned his gaze toward Alice who looked busy fiddling (MCM) before sighing in relief.

"Fuhu... Thank you! " whispers Bodil.

"Other times, be careful! " reply Conley.

Time slowly passed, 2 hours later.

Currently, the dead goblins have reached 87 people. However, the number of test tubes that experienced rejection no longer existed.

Alice had solved the problem before.

"It should be fine now, I just need to wait until the Goblin who managed to survive out of her Blood Cocoon safely" Alice said with relief.

This time he was sure that no more mistakes would happen.

Alice waited patiently in her seat, the seconds changed and the minutes changed.

After a while had passed, finally, what he had been waiting for appeared.

'Crekks... Crekk.... Crekkk.... '

Starting from Raluk's experimental tube and followed by another, Blood Cocoon who was inside their tube slowly cracked.

From inside, it emanated a very bright white light.

"Finally! Show me your new wajuds, " cried Alice in high spirits.

Conley's group had also been looking forward to this moment ever since.

Alice presses the 'Open' button to open the experiment tube so that Raluk and his men can get out of there.

From within the light, the sound of someone speaking was heard.

"It feels so strange, my body feels so much lighter than the one before it. "the voice of a man.

"I also felt the same way, the magic power I had felt grew stronger." the voice of a woman.

"It feels like my body is also becoming healthier" the voice of the woman b.

"Look! my skin is getting tighter and smoother now "woman c voice.

"I feel a little dizzy at this time." the voice of the man b.

"Houah...! I feel very sleepy. "the voice of the man c.

After a while had passed, the bright light that enveloped their bodies finally disappeared.

Alice and the others, could see the new form of the goblins and it made them very surprised.

"Ehh, who are you? " ask a man.

"Hm! Hearing from your voice and speech style, are you Raluk? " woman a asked back.

"Tu, wait a minute! Don't tell me you're Sugar " said Raluk.

"Yes, it's me. You look very much different now" said Gula.

"You're the same, I couldn't even recognize you before" Raluk said.

Hearing the conversation of the two, Dustin suddenly spoke.

"I didn't expect you to turn into Spriggan and Hobgoblin. Congrats! " said Dustin.

He suddenly spoke after seeing the new appearance belonging to Raluk and his group.

"The spriggan? You mean Raluk and Sugar? " ask Alice.

"Yes, it's the Spriggan" Dustin replied.

"Hmm, everything makes sense now. If their form is like that, it is appropriate that the Spriggans consider Goblins to be defective products. The difference they have is too far away.

It's like comparing a diamond to a pebble on the side of the road" Alice said.

The total Goblins that managed to survive the experiment this time were 13 people.

4 Of them managed to become Spriggan races after awakening the Spriggan blood they had.

Those people were Raluk, Sugar, Choco and Candy.

Then, the remaining 9 managed to become Hobgoblins after successfully awakening the human blood they had.

Those people are Sarkas, Zeckdal, Sternil, Macaron, Vancel, Roderick, Messes, Dictors and Cookies.

The appearance of these two races was very different from the previous ones.

They actually went from being ugly caterpillars to being pretty butterflies.

Spriggan has a form like a human child aged about 10 to 12 years.

They have pure white skin with reddish hues around them, their faces look very cute and cute.

No one will believe your words if you say that they were Goblins before.

However, even though their appearance looked cute, their fighting abilities were extremely strong, the Spriggan was a cosmic race after all.

As for Hobgoblins, they had a normal human-like form but, muscular.

They are about 170's tall, have an upright body and a face that can be said to be handsome.

At least, much better than their previous appearance.

Their skin was not as green as before, but rather brownish as the ground.

All in all, they looked like veteran soldiers who had a lot of combat experience.

"I'm sorry for the goblins who died in this experiment. Thanks to the sacrifices they made, I got a lot of important data that would come in handy later.

Besides, I also congratulate the goblins who successfully completed the experiment well.

To be honest, I never expected that there would be this many who managed to survive my first try.

At first, I thought that only one or two had survived. But, seeing what is happening now, you are truly exceeding my expectations. Nice work! " said Alice with passion.

"We are also very grateful to have been given the opportunity to change the fate of our miserable race" Raluk said, bowing his head deeply.

The other members also lowered their heads following Raluk.

"You may feel tired right now after a long, painful experiment. For now, all of you go get some rest.

I'd like to hear a report on your new body tomorrow. In that case, see you later. "said Alice while activating her Teleportation spell towards the [Throne Room].

He disappeared from the other sight quickly.

Meanwhile, Dustin led the former adventurers and Raluk's group out of the [Blood Refinement Room].

That way, the first successful reinforcement experiment went on with great success.
