Chapter 460
Chapter 460 Assimilation
The third level of the stone tower.
Greem slowly walked to a hidden room after completing his daily meditations.
At the moment, Beginner Apprentice Billis was sitting inside a large wooden bucket in the room. His expression was twisted and wicked as if he was silently enduring intense pain. A pungent, unknown purple and black liquid filled the wooden bucket.
Billis struggled to get up and greet Greem when he saw the adept enter. However, Greem stopped him.
“How is it; is the assimilation process going well?” Greem asked caringly.
“Everything is going smoothly, Sir!” Billis endured the intense pain and replied with much difficulty, “I will definitely succeed in this assimilation!”
Billis pushed aside the long robe draped over his shoulders and revealed his bony chest and pulsating tumor there.
Three days later.
Sabrina walked into the hidden room with a large plate of mutton steak. Traces of blood still clung to the meat.
This place was on the second level of the stone tower.
Apart from the few pseudo-adepts, no apprentices were allowed on this level. Beginner Apprentice Billis not only had a room to himself, he even had the privilege of having five daily meals personally sent to his room by pseudo-adept Sabrina herself!
This kind of treatment undoubtedly invited the fervent jealousy of the other apprentices.
However, only Sabrina knew the truth. It was hard to tell if the person that had locked himself in that hidden room was still that Beginner Apprentice Billis!
Under Greem’s strict orders, Billis had moved from the first level to the second level of the tower. He had not left his room since. He only hid within that dark and enclosed space, spending most of his day eating and devouring food with an eager passion.
At first, Billis only ate those well-roasted and juicy steaks. However, even with the two chefs sent over by the city lord cooking non-stop, they were still unable to appease Billis’ bottomless appetite.
Three meals a day turned into five meals a day, then continuous feasting. Sabrina was reduced to a busy worker. She was constantly bringing large platters of meat to and from the hidden room and the kitchen.
Afterward, Sabrina realized that Billis didn’t seem to be picky about the taste of his food or even if it was fully cooked. She decided to have the chefs do away with the fine cooking and marinating process. All they had to do was cut the meat into appropriate portions before quickly cooking it and sending it to Billis.
In the end, Sabrina even decided to throw the bloody corpses of cows into the room with her mechanical claws.
Finally, Greem was no longer able to stand the sight of all this. He called Sabrina over for a few words.
The next time Mechanical Girl Sabrina visited Billis’ room, she brought a live cow with her!
…………
No one knew whether it was intentional or not, but most of the apprentices in the tower had been sent out on errands.
Sabrina extended four or five mechanical appendages from her waist and lifted a three-hundred-kilogram cow, which she easily carried into Billis’ room.
The room was dark and without light.
In truth, Sabrina should have been able to see everything within this room. She had a strong mechanical eye capable of infrared sight and low-light vision.
However, this room was different. It seemed as if a magical effect had been imbued in the darkness of the room. It didn’t matter how wide Sabrina opened her eyes; she couldn’t see anything. She only had a vague feeling that a terrifying secret hid within the darkness.
Sabrina didn’t dare to take more than one step forward. She stood in front of the door and sent the struggling cow into the darkness with her mechanical arms.
Every time this happened, she would feel a strong pulling force on her mechanical appendages. If she didn’t let go of the cow promptly, she might have been dragged into the darkness with the unfortunate prey.
When she retracted her mechanical limbs, the cow had vanished, and some pale, green, and stinky slime clung to the appendages.
Then the terrifying sound of tens of thousands of biting bugs would echo from the darkness of the room!
