Chapter 1787 Siren Sanctuary's Underground Facility

Within a sprawling underground laboratory, meticulously fortified with space-element magic, an environment of secrecy prevailed.

Numerous high-level Array Formations shielded the lab, preventing intrusion from prying Spiritual Senses or Mana Senses.

Illumination filled the underground chamber, courtesy of mana-driven light sources and gems strategically placed throughout the facility. The interior boasted an organized arrangement of diverse magical equipment.

A section resembling a miniature library housed various books and ancient tomes. Adjacent to it stood a large desk strewn with half-open scrolls and incomplete Array Formation layouts etched onto different metal sheets.

Another corner featured several suspended Spectral Screens presenting a plethora of information, including Stats, lab results of previous experiments, ongoing experiment statuses, charts, real-time biofeedback statuses of various entities, and more.

The underground facility also had spectral renditions of various regions displayed in great detail. There were some markers placed at some places on the spectral renditions of the regions by someone. These markers were color-coded with green, yellow, and red to show the level of attention one needed to pay to the regions.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Within the depths of the underground facility, a dedicated smithy section awaited those seeking to craft Hex Artifacts. The area was equipped with runic furnaces, an array of weapon-centric formations, and straightforward Magi Circles designed to enhance the stability of the artifact creation process.

Diverse runic and mana-influenced anvils and hammers, ranging from sizable to compact, filled the space. A mesmerizing display of motionless Hex Artifacts levitated in the air, attesting to the extraordinary talent, diligence, and expertise of their creator.

Adjacent to this, the clandestine chamber beneath Siren's Sanctuary housed a premium-grade potion lab, affording its owner a serene environment for concocting a myriad of potions.

The lab featured all essential apparatus, an extensive inventory of top-tier raw ingredients, and racks of potion vials prominently displayed potion recipes, pill formulae, and versatile balms synthesized for a range of purposes. Its meticulous design and brewing-type Formations allowed the owner to brew even the premium-grade S-Ranked potions if the need arose.

The underground facility featured an exclusive section devoted to Tantra Practice.

The subjects were encased within specialized Magic Circles, functioning as the Array Eyes of an expansive Formation. Suspended effortlessly a few inches above the ground, their faces were the only visible part, concealed within the slime-like capsules that restricted any movement of their bodies.

The cocoon-like slimy substance enveloping the test subjects was known as Echidna's Placenta, resembling the flies ensnared by a formidable spider in its web-like capsules. However, unlike its usual operation, Echidna's Placenta wasn't used to create monsters.

Real-time bio-feedback from the subjects was meticulously monitored and displayed through Spectral Screens hovering above their respective capsules. Observing the reports and statistics on the screens revealed a mix of slumbering and suspended death states among the subjects, showcasing a complex range of conditions.

Among these subjects were notorious demonic entities, individuals akin to Kilawan AKA unfortunate pirates, and various rogues and powerful Practitioners who had unwittingly become subjects for clandestine experiments conducted by the owner of Siren's Sanctuary.

One could say that the butcher was impartial in choosing his targets. Among the test subjects, some belonged to divine factions as well but had tarnished their reputations with nefarious deeds.

Alongside them were kidnappers, murderers, and ruthless mafias from mortal realms, all serving as subjects in the underground facility under the owner's authority.

Over the past five years, the underground facility beneath Siren's Sanctuary had been a site of various experiments, resulting in the agonizing deaths of numerous test subjects. Once formidable Practitioners and feared rulers of their domains, they had cried out, cursed, and ultimately resigned themselves to their fates.

Hundreds of test subjects had met their demise within the facility for the owner of Siren's Sanctuary to witness any semblance of progress. Yet, he remained grounded, continuing his research despite early signs of success.

Fortunately, Labh Salem teemed with unsavory characters, and Eren, a legitimate Demon Slayer, capitalized on this.

Leveraging the Corps' resources and intelligence, he procured high-quality test subjects to further his endeavors.
