Chapter 256: CHAPTER 256 – My lab rats.
"…. None of them are a Grenefled."
Clare sighed inwardly as she looked at Alex.
She was happy that none of them were Grenefled as she looked at Alex, right now.
The Alex right now seemed scary to her.
After all, she had only seen him smiling all the time, and it was her first time seeing his cold and angry look.
Cold she had seen, but at that time, he was warning her, the look he had right now, however, was nothing like that.
She even had a thought that if any of the assassins were to be a Grenefled, then there was a chance that she could be implicated.
She knew that Alex wouldn't do that, but as always, guessing what Alex would do was the hardest thing.
"Good."
Alex nodded and then he walked toward the guy closest to him.
Alex activated his all-seeing eyes and he could see the movement of mana inside the guy's body.
The guy had his mana charged in his hands and the muscles of his legs were taunted.
The guy was a Ratman, it was easy to tell from the ears on his head.
The same could be said for the other assassins, their racial features were visible, so it was easy to guess their race.
Alex looked down at the guy before he waved his hand downward.
*Woosh* X2
Two wooshing sounds were heard and then….
*Slash* X4
Four slashes were heard.
Two blades made of water descended on the Ratman, first, they cut off his arms before they continued to cut his legs.
But the strange thing was that even though the limbs were cut off from the body, there was not a drop of blood flowing out of the injuries.
Yes, the time was paused so the blood wouldn't flow, but the place that was supposed to be bloodied looked like a healed limb injury.
The part that Alex slashed looked like a year-old wound.
The same thing happened to all the other parts Alex had slashed.
Alex looked at it and nodded his head.
It was just an experiment, but it worked out fine.
Alex then waved his hand again, but this time instead of just two, many water blades rained down from the sky, chopping off the assassins' limbs, but the result was the same as the Ratman's.
Alex was using his healing water to slash them, so the wound that was supposed to bleed got healed the moment it was created.
If Alex used this ability normally, then it would've healed the limbs, but he was using the same thing to cause the injury.
And the result turned out to be just as he wanted.
Alex walked back toward Alice, Ann, and Clare, and by now, his smile was back on his face.
But looking at that smile of him, the girls didn't feel like he was smiling.
*Snap*
He snapped his finger without looking back and continued walking toward the girls.
But the single snap of his caused the time to continue and….
"GWAAAAAAAAAA!"
"KHHHHEEEEEEEE!"
"GROOOOOOO!"
...….
...
….
…
..
.
Another series of screams followed.
Do who was left alone inside was also screaming since he could still feel the burn inside of his body, but his screams turned into whimpers in a while.
Alex just stood there and watched the assassins scream in agony.
The pain of all of their limbs being severed was not something anyone could handle, and if that was not enough, then the healing water that Alex used on them was also a bit special.
The healing water Alex used on them, unlike normal healing water that nourishes the cells and regenerates them, this one forcefully removes the cells in the area to heal any injury.
So, the pain at the cellular level only added to their torment.
The assassins continued to scream in agony while Do's whimpers had now turned into groans.
As Alex saw those guys' pained expressions, his smile started transforming.
Soon his smile matched with the smile we wore for the Aquathrens that had tried to have some rather impure thoughts about Alice and Ann.
Alice and Ann were familiar with that smile, but Clare wasn't, so that smile made her tremble a little.
She felt chills even though the smile was not directed at her, she didn't even want to hope how she would feel if that smile was for her.
Alex just continued to stare at the guys and by now, Do's groans had stopped and he was probably dead.
No one even cared enough to check if he was alive or not.
Alice wanted a went, and torturing him was the perfect went for her.
Now, just like Ann, she wanted to see what Alex was going to do.
They knew that this was nothing.
The pain these guys were going through was nothing compared to the time Alex tortured the Aquathrens, their screams were still fresh in both of their minds and for sure, these guys didn't even go through the 10th of what those guys did.
"Ann, call for a van."
Suddenly Alex spoke without turning back.
"On it."
Ann nodded her head and moved back, calling for a van.
She didn't ask why Alex called for a van, she just did what he asked for.
But Alice wasn't Ann, so she asked curiously.
"What's that van for?"
Alex turned back and looked at Alice with a gentle smile.
"I can't leave my lab rats here now, can I?"
Alex replied with a gentle smile.
He was smiling so gently that it seemed like he was trying to console a kid, but the words that came out of his lips were quite the opposite.
"Lab rats?"
Alice raised a brow.
"Yeah, they are going to be my lab rats from now on.
I needed some people to test some of my abilities, but my morality stopped me.
But now that the situation has presented itself, I should take it."
Alex stated as he pointed at the assassins.
"I see…."
Alice nodded with a thoughtful look on her face.
Alex then turned back toward the assassins and continued staring at them as if he didn't want to miss a single detail.
Clare who saw all this was left dumbfounded at how Alex's expressions changed in seconds.
But she just shook her head and continued to observe them just like others.
She knew that they deserved it, but somehow, looking at Alex's smile made her pity them a bit.
Clare didn't know what Alex was going to do to them, but she did know that it wouldn't be something a light-hearted person could handle.
"I've called the van."
Ann moved close to Alex as she uttered those words.
"Good."
Alex smiled at Ann before he turned toward the assassins.
"Time to sleep my rats…."
Alex muttered as a sweet colorless gas filled the air.
The assassins' eyes widened when they felt their bodies relaxing and their mind going numb, but Alex just smiled at them.
"Don't worry, the moment you open your eyes, you will be in your house, brand new places I will create especially for you guys…"
That was the last thing the assassins heard before their vision went out, and they entered the dreamland.
