Iko was surprised, but not for long since the metallic beasts didn’t wait for her to finish reading through the notifications. With the strange claw she started attacking back while they dashed at her, she tried to get a second claw by doing the same she did a while ago but it didn’t work, it just gave her immense pain while it regenerated, she then decided to check on the new [System] she just got, she was curious since she had never heard of a specialized [System], so she really hoped it was going to help her out in this situation.
“Status!” Then words started to morph in her mind, shocking her because the [System] was giving her a second name.

Iko was struck with so much information that her headache started to worsen, and the fact that she felt 2 spikes coming out her head didn’t help, she screamed as she grabbed her head with so much force that her claw started to pierce through her head, regenerating instantly but it still hurt.
When the pain stopped, she noticed 2 things, first, she now had horns of around 2 lours each in her head, both with a strange purple energy being emitted from beneath the charcoal black exterior of the horns, the other thing she noticed was that none of the metallic beasts attacked her while she was suffering from the pain of the horns, they were also stepping back, almost as if they had meet their natural predator.
Her eyes were next to hurt as she started to grab them, for it to just fall off her head like some misplaced pieces, she had gone blind until they regenerated but now she could see different, better, was the only word she could find, everything she saw looked a lot more complete, she checked her status again since the beasts were still shivering in fear, her first guess was that this, [Eye of The Dragon] is the responsible for her eyes while the [Corruption Sense] was the one that gave her the horns as she could now sense some energy inside the beasts.
What is corruption either way? Blood tiers? It didn’t make sense for Iko, but for another person it was even harder to understand what he was seeing.
Jaul had lived for hundreds of years now, when someone elevated their level their were able to increase their lifespan in a considerable amount, and he, who was in the level 175, had never seen anything like that, the different bodies he used to create that body, all merged into one, the worst part, it wasn’t him wo was using the body, no, it was that brat who was surviving the destruction and reconstruction of her soul with only hate alone.
When he used [Eye of The Soul] he didn’t see a shattered soul with immense hate, no, what he saw were the eyes of who he was searching for his whole life, The origin of corruption. What he didn’t understand was why the being known for not caring about anyone or anything wouldn’t take control of the body, but either way, this turn of events are going to help him investigate this beautiful power to its fullest.

Jaul descended from his office and opened the door of Iko, just as she noticed him, she felt a full hate towards him for some reason, she jumped with her claw high aiming at him just for him to hit her like a fly, sending her to the floor, with her [Corrupted Sense] she was able to identify the man.
[Jaul Lefon, In Search of the Source, Level 175]
Iko froze as she looked at Jaul, Folkur, from she heard, was only at level 160, and yet this man was at level 175.
“You’ll see, I had the idea of reviving the Source using you, but you aren’t dying even when your soul is at the verge of dissipating, so” he clapped and a strange collar appeared in her neck, he tried to get it out but it wouldn’t budge, when she tried to cut it she felt a pain so big she started crying and fall to the floor, her body paralyzed by the pain the collar sent her, “This is a upgraded version of the slave collars over at the Rolk, the backlash of not following orders are stronger and if someone tried to get it off, you are forced to protect it, got it clear?”
Iko just nodded after calming herself from the pain, which was something she definitely didn’t want to feel again.
“Well now that you got it clear I will use you as my guinea pig for my experiments, now, Stand up.” Iko wanted to refuse but her body was forced by the collar to do so, he was guiding her through the laboratory, she saw plenty of glass containers with different kind of substances inside, he then came to a stop Infront of another glass cage like in the one she was before he got her out, “Enter” he ordered, Iko body was forced to enter the inside of the cage and when she looked back he wasn’t there anymore.
As she was trapped she decided to look around, her new eyes helped her in investigating the place, she was about to hit the class with her claw to see what if it would last but just as the idea got into her mind she felt the collar pulling her to stay in her place and not try anything stupid.
“So that bastard got a new pet uh?” Iko heard a voice that came from outside her cage, it sounded childish but mature at the same time. She noticed to other cells Infront of her’s, that voice came from the left one.
“it looks like it” said a much calmer voice, this one came from the right cell, as she tried to look at them she stared to feel tired before even getting a glimpse of them, after she got devoured and was fighting for 3 months she felt all her strength leaving her body and she fall unconscious.
As Iko waked up she heard the same voices from before speaking, when they noticed she was awake they stopped talking and looked at her, now that she was able to have some thoughts, she decided to see who their were, as even inside the darkness of the room, with her new eyes she was able to see perfectly if she just tried a little.
“She looks lost, should we explain what happens here?” said the voice in the left, it was a masculine but childish voice, what was inside the cell was a kid, he didn’t look older than 12, his eyes and hair were red blood, and his hands and legs had it’s veins glowing in red underneath his skin.
“You should wait she regains her posture, she was just asleep for 3 days straight” Iko was surprised by what she said but it didn’t surprise her, after all even if her body and soul regenerate, her mind wouldn’t, she looked as a normal girl would, just with golden hair, blue eyes, but the strange part came with the halo In top of her head and her 4 feathered wings, who also had blue eyes on her wings all looking at her.
“H-hi?” Iko asked, she wanted to identify them, but they were too far away for that.
“HI!” yelled the kid.
“Hello” said the woman.
“Do you know where I am?” Iko asked, she noticed that her voice sounded weird and dry, then she remembered that for some reason she hadn’t eaten or drank anything at all the last few months, so that was probably why her throat felt dry.
“You are at a laboratory girl, you, me and her, we all are experiments here, btw why are you so special that man took you?” he asked with an innocent look.
“I-I don’t really know, my town was raided by a enemy kingdom and their leader shattered my soul…” as she was explaining she felt her soul tremble and let her hate get out of her body as well, “and then I woke up here, apparently he wanted to revive someone with my body but it didn’t work out…”
“That’s sad to hear, dear” said the woman with a motherly tone, “I accidentally melded my soul with that of an angel, and now I’m 75% a divine being… he has been trying for years now to make me a into a full angel, he said he wanted the blessing of angels… not like I can do something like that right now so he is forcing me to absorb other divine beings souls… and I’m always affected by the backlash from the Heavens”
“Melding the soul isn’t as painful as the soul being transfigured!” Shouted the kid, he looked rather happy to share his story for some reason. “That crazy bastard kidnapped me and drowned me in a pool of blood of every kind! Demon, beast, human, even demigods! Only the gods know where he got all that! Well, he injected me with something that made my soul change and absorb blood. My soul was being transformed again and again into different beings for over 10 years!”
As Iko heard them she realized that maybe what she went through wasn’t as bad as she thought.
“Hey new girl, what’s your name? I’m Berg and this half bird is Angela” Said the kid, who was named Berg apparently, “I already told you to stop giving weird nicknames,” said Angela with an annoyed look in her face.
“My name is Iko…” She said, with a strange feeling when looking at Angela, a nasty one. She didn’t know why but it was just there.
“For just having your body tried of take over you are pretty calm I must say” said Angela, and Iko had just noticed that despite what was happening to her, she didn’t felt any panic at all, the only feeling she had shown was hate, anger and surprise, but she didn’t felt panicked at all.
“I-I don’t really know, since he injected me with that ancient blood as he calls it I don’t really feel anything more than hate and anger, even now my head is full of hate thoughts, but they are pretty quiet right now” As she talked the other 2 simply listened to her talk about her experience, namely about her soul being destroyed and reformed, he decided to keep her system as a secret from now.
“Damn… even transfiguration doesn’t hurt as much as your soul being erased, and you simply tanked it getting destroyed and regenerated for over 3 months?! Damn you’re a bad girl!” Shouted Berg, who apparently wasn’t really a kid, just that he was kidnapped at that age and now his body refused to grow anymore,
“Poor thing… may the gods bless you Iko” said Angela who was with a sad look in her eyes.
“after hearing you 2 I don’t think that what happened to me was that bad if I’m being honest…” said Iko, after all, 10 years during your soul is being transformed over and over again and being forced to absorb other souls with the backlash probably wasn’t a smooth process.
“I see you 3 already get to know each other!” Said Jaul as he walked Infront of the cage’s, Iko body jumped at him the moment he approached but the collar holds her back and started the process of torture for her brain. “I see you don’t learn, do you? Stand up” while the collar as giving her a worst pain than the first time, she was also forced into her feet.
“Follow me, I’m going to investigate your body and soul onto the last bits until I understand how you kept your body” he said as Iko was forced to follow him with the pain in the collar not stopping as she wanted to refuse, with tears falling from her dragon like eyes, her horns sensing the corrupted mindset of this Jaul.
