Electus - Chapter 463

When the Caalisher attacking wasn’t such a good in general. Tens of individuals paralysed, walls blown open and a few houses on Fire too.

But like every bad thing, that disaster came with a small good thing. Since the Caalisher was shot dead, it’s body can still be used. Scraping head meat for experiments was tad tricky, but doable.

King Michael felt the most staggered when the Sub Leader described how the Caalisher’s face looks like.

Supposedly it has no eyes, nose, mouth or ears but only has a large X across his or her face. That’s the most bizarre feature one would have the displeasure to see.

Clapping his hands, jogging towards the experimental meats, King Michael urged. “Okay Alama let’s get this over with quick, I need to take my shift in an hour.”

Grabbing the book of experimental logs, opening it. She jerked her eyes almost completely shut and confuted. “Not so loud, I haven’t even eaten breakfast yet.”

“Sorry.” King Michael spoke softly, already having a piece of meat sliced.

Waiting for her to grab the little feather, he breathed. “Caalisher toe meat, Rat as the consumer.”

A bit pissed now really, wearing an emotionless face she blurted. “Okay speak a little bit louder than that, I only heard your nose whistle.”

Repeating himself, Michael hollered from the top of his lungs. “Caalisher toe meat, Rat as the consumer.”

Having a large urge to smack the man’s booty, she saved that sense of revenge for later and focused on writing this experimental log down.

Dropping the slice of meat in the Cage, the Rat squeaked a bit as the mutation started which can point that it is either panicking or in pain but thankfully alive.

Suddenly they’ve heard the bottom of the Cage continuously crackle as if someone was tapping their fingers on it repeatedly.

Laying on the ground to look at the Rat’s feet, getting a hunch that the mutation occurred there. He spotted that the hind legs have changed, toes have become nonexistent and replaced by longer pointy legs.

They stretch half a foot long now, unusual size for a Rat even though this one is big itself.

Analysing the Rat, they suddenly spotted it jump and hit the top of the Cage and land softly without breaking a sweat. The fact that the hind legs expanded, taking a horizontal sharp turn explains this ability.

This is a different mutation indeed, although the King can’t think of a way to weaponize this one, yet again he is rushing.

He turned his head towards Alama and cited, “Result, the Rat gets half a foot long pointy hind legs. Jumping high comes along with the power.”

This mutation is particularly troubling to comprehend because the Caalisher himself has small toes, his whole is 5 foot dare I repeat.

This further screams at the fact that mutations can be almost impossible to pre-imagine. In almost every mutation, the fed body portion and the mutated body portion don’t have much in common.

And so on they’ve moved to the second experiment, dropping Caalisher waist meat through another Rat’s Cage.

This one however left them at a staggering shock as the Rat has obtained flight. Different from a past mutation however, this one can fly with the aid of wings.

A pair of wings broke open from the Rat’s shoulder blade, spread wide by a foot and carry a pitch black colour. Analysing the wings, they look so much alike with one of any Bat.

This is an important discovery, as it showcases that proper flight can be obtained through mutations. He discovered how to make Rats fly without wings earlier, but those abilities were limited as even the Rat didn’t know how to control it properly.

Moving on to the third mutation, he dropped a piece of Caalisher head meat into the next Rat’s cage and expected the best here.

It is really a long shot, but the Sub Leader mentioned something about the Caalisher being extremely smart and now the King hopes such brains can be forced upon an experiment.

Well instead of big brains, the Rat got a damn horn right in the middle of its forehead. It stretches 4 inches long, stands out like a really long zit.

One big straight horn in the middle of an experiment’s head, can be easily weaponized if you just briefly think it through but today isn’t the time to think, he is in a rush.

The fourth experiment for today will be consuming Caalisher lung meat, a bag of meat like this became disgusting to fetch as the King had to cut the dead Demon open.

This mutation however, seems too dangerous to handle. Even Arem wouldn’t reach his hands in and grab a Rat who owns an absolute set of Razor sharp spikes on its back.

This thing absolutely looks like a hedgehog in some aspects, but there aren’t enough spikes to consider this one a Hedgehog.

The Rat is carrying neatly set rows of spikes, some more curled than the other and a few that aren’t curled have a green tip on top. Those green tips could point towards Venomous properties, but no one is dumb enough to test it.

Moving on to the fifth experiment, dropping a little chunk of Caalisher stomach meat in the Cage, the next fresh Rat consumed it after a minute of hesitation and was forced towards change.

This might be the most useless mutation yet, as the Rat has gotten another pair of arms and legs. Exactly the same size, they bend in the same way too but unless Alia trains these Rats the hand to hand Martial Arts of Mantek, this mutation is useless.

Getting on with the sixth and last mutation of the day, King Michael cited. “Okay Alama. Caalisher Heart, Rat as the consumer.”

“Right.” Alama shortly spoke and tortured the Parchment.

“Holy sh…” King Michael shouted, bouncing back even though squatting.

Pissed off this little yell, she lured her gaze towards him and shouted. “Why are you yelling?”

But her question got answered when she spotted Fire coming out of the Cage of today’s sixth experiment.

Sharing the same expression, she hollered. “Holy shit.”

Pointing out the obvious, wiping sweat off his face, King Michael weighed in. “Yes this one is breathing Fire.”

Letting his collar loose a bit, he also added. “I think it just did it to show us whose boss, thankfully it can’t go out of the Cage for a while.”

Not understanding why the King isn’t taking safety procedures this time, she queried. “Meaning?”

Clapping his hands to wipe off the extra bits of meat and wiping them over his long coat as well, King Michael approached and whispered in her ear. “Meaning I can pay you for yanking you out of the Kitchen.”

Umm yes, that caused a bit of a blush although this isn’t her first time with his majesty. “Here?”

Pushing her against the wall close by and shutting the door, he uttered. “Well I don’t have much time, so better be quiet this time.”

And so on, they got their frustrations out on each other. Withstanding the stench and trying to ignore that there is a Clawed Demon carcass at the other end of the room.

…

“We will be off to search for the 12 Relics soon, Ladia thought it would be good if you learn another Healing move.” Ada pitched the idea, dragging the Electus by the hand across the Throne room to find the library.

Sighing a tad bit, Eric freely stated. “She sounds like Michael.”

As they’ve walked into the Library, having everything memorized Ladia cut right to the case. “Spiraling grip! It is best for arm and leg wound, easy for you. Doesn’t need a brain, let’s see.”

“Have you learned it yet?” Eric queried, trying to test the move’s difficulty before trying.

Trying her best to communicate, letting silence stretch a few seconds even. She blurted, “No, but I heal some Goblins with this move. Faster healing, they keep farting relief.”

…

“Are you sure you want to talk to the King just yet?” Kaleem asked, holding his lady by the hand.

“Yes, this is obviously some kind of Level up. I wasn’t able to do this before.” Lia answered, self aware and most certainly sure of her decision.

Confused, looking around and a bit puzzling that no one is in the Throne Room. Kaleem affirmed. “I don’t know where he is supposed to be though, we should have brought Jim here as well. I doubt that the King would want to be cut because we say so.”

Pointing at a door behind and near the Throne, technically to the top right. Lia asserted, “Let’s check this door.”

Opening the door, Kaleem walked in first and the sound of a hollering m.o.a.ning lady broke through their ears, echoing across the corridor. It doesn’t sound like this lady is under any pain, so they can rule it out subconsciously that she isn’t being attacked.

Looking at Lia, noticing how red she has gotten as she noticed what’s going on here. Kaleem placed his arm over her shoulder, walked her out and whispered. “Looks like the King is busy right now.”
