Reawakening: SSS-Rank Villain's POV-Chapter 144: Hidden Laboratory!
With a ear-splitting explosion, Lucian's body trembled and he was softly pushed backwards by the rebounding force.
Lucian's face suddenly darkened. The metallic surface only showed a small depression on its surface.
Despite using his entire strength, he could only make a small depression on the metal surface.
This made him very depressed. There was another way to enter the hidden cave or room.
That was to search the hole the Land Shark used in passing through to the other side but that would require him to activate Earth Swim for an extended period of time.
And it would also require time which he really doesn't have right now. He was about to suffocate to death.
He head was really getting lighter, he was feeling dizzy and his eyes were starting to sting.
He was in a desperate situation right now and there was only two options left for him to do.
He either have to go back up to get more oxygen or continue to pound through the metallic surface until it gave out.
Either way, he had to make a decision very soon as he had only a few seconds left.
Gritting his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.
Suddenly, his muscles compressed tightly and the contours of his body was on full display. Not a single bone could be seen.
Only strongly tempered muscles could be seen and his skin shone as scales appeared all over his skin as though they were made of metals themselves.
As soon as his two hands hardened into a dark color, he suddenly started pummelling the metal surface like a life prisoned old man seeing a naked lady!
"BOOM!" "BOOM!" "BOOM!"
The soil around his body has solidified since his body has stopped undulating the unique frequency.
There was no way the booming sounds could escape to except his ears but Lucian wasn't in the right state of mind to savor them.
The power around his fist suddenly turned berserk and the temperature in the tiny cave he had made instantly increased in temperature.
Levi!
Baltzer!
Kyra!
The three instantly attacked with their strongest techniques.
The wall continued to cave in but didn't give in. But as soon as the four attacked together, the walls caved in massively, turning red but still didn't give in.
It even showed signs of recovering to its previous size.
It seems like the metal used to guard the room or cave has an elastic property.
But Lucian was far too gone, he was already unconscious but it was like he had another consciousness in his body as his fists continued punching through the walls.
In a blink of an eye, the metal wall gave a crack and his right hand suddenly came out from the other side of the wall.
Inside a quiet and luxurious room, the muffled booms that were coming from the ceiling suddenly stopped.
But all of a sudden, there was a sudden thud on the floor as a figure fell through a very large hole that was created on the ceiling.
The room was at least 10 meters high, but the figure had no problem dropping from that high to the floor.
Standing up steadily, the figure's blood red eyes scanned the room like it owned it and after a few seconds, like a log of wood, the figure dropped to the ground with a bam.
He was unconscious. It was understandable, he had given his all despite the lack of oxygen he had been experiencing.
It should be known that every Ranker required a large amount of oxygen to smoothly increase and steadily circulate the blood in their bodies.
Lack of oxygen might as well be called lack of energy.
Lucian's breath was long, sharp and quick. Although he was unconscious, his subconsciousness was actively sucking in as much oxygen as his body could probably handle. And the dust and murky smell in the surroundings.
It was unknown how much time had passed, Lucian groaned as he woke up.
He was feeling a massive headache as though there was lightning striking across his brain like a thunder storm.
If you asked Lucian what he hated the most, it was thinking too much because of the headache it usually caused him and now he was feeling the same headache he hated.
He really felt like cutting his head off, really.
Sighing lightly he stood up gently as he scanned his surroundings.
His breathing was slightly rough as he scanned through the hidden room.
He was astonished by what he saw. The cave was small by some standards but it was also wide.
The room was extremely luxurious. But the decay of time could be seen on its surfaces.
The floors were made of colored tiles arranged in jagged patterns, and the walls were made of glass, revealing additional views of the city and the mountains to the east.
A frosted glass partition separated the lobby from a private office. Silk banners hung from the ceiling. Polished stone pedestals held golden and silver statues portraying nude men and women.
Everything in the room was rich and lavish; Lucian found himself awed, and envious that he never had a place so luxurious.
Lucian found himself in a small lobby, walking a bit, he walked through a set of glass doors in the frosted glass partition, and he was about to pass into a wide open office space, when he suddenly stopped on his way.
On his way to the office, he saw a few glass tanks which had been tightly sealed, containing a weird kind of fluid whose colour Lucian couldn't even describe.
It was almost like the mixture of violet and green, the color was strangely bizzare as they refused to mix with each other and it seem as though they contained the same density, viscosity and weight as the two colours refused to separate from each other.
On a normal circumstances, if oil and water were mixed together in a container, one of the fluid would float upwards, while the other would sink downwards.
The water molecules attract each other, and the oil molecules stick together. That causes oil and water to form two separate layers. Water molecules pack closer together, so they sink to the bottom, leaving oil sitting on top of the water.
But the fluids in the tanks refused to mix but neither of the fluid sink to the bottom of the tank which made Lucian slightly surprised.
There were seven of the tanks near the office and Lucian could guess it was a sort of hidden underground laboratory.
Moving closer, Lucian eyes blinked rapidly, it was as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
There was a human head in the fluid. But Lucian only saw a head, the head was all dried up to the point of being only a skeleton.
The rest of the body part was also beginning to surface as Lucian squinted his eyes to check.
Removing himself from the glass surface of the tank, Lucian checked the other tanks and he realised that it was also the same for the other six tanks.
Breathing in deeply, Lucian calmed his nerves and his goosebumps down. He ignored the shivers down his spine and walked towards the office.
The office looked much like the lobby, only instead of statues and banners there were holograms and display screens. Contrasting with the bright floors and the bright exterior view, there was a black desk on one end of the room, made of a rare dark organic wood.
Which was a rare find in this world which Lucian was also aware of.
One thought suddenly came to him. 'No one had found this place, even the academy!'
Lucian's lips split into a grin as he laughed wildly. His headache was long since forgotten.
It was an hidden underground laboratory that had been very hidden and from what Lucian could guess, the steel wall he had broken through contains some kind of property that hides the entire place from different scanners seeing that no one had been here before.
Those type of materials, were very expensive to acquire and if one calculated based on the grade of the organisation called StoneVoid, it was impossible for them to obtain this much VoidSteel to hide the Underground labs from different scanners.
Void Steels were extremely hard to acquire. It was even impossible to get them with only relic gold as it requires a certain amount of connections and favors.
Void Steel although quite fragile which was seen as (Lucian) was able to breakthrough it. It has the ability to keep things hidden as it absorbs every signals sent to it.
Just like a stone thrown into the void, it won't cause a single ripple and would stay undetected, completely hidden from plain view.
Dust covered every where, which shows how much time had passed but the holographic images were still on display but it seems as though the system displaying the holographic images was faulty since Lucian couldn't read what it was displaying.
