She lost. Pathetically.

Alan Peccator was a monster. A monster that toyed with her and her familiar spirit.

She wouldn\'t ever forget the humiliation, the fear...and those eyes.

The eyes of a predatory snake that was playing with its prey. She was spiritually and mentally connected to her Familiar, the Boneclaw, so even when she was frozen, the feeling of being experimented on was extremely vivid. Furthermore, she could feel her spirit\'s pain as her mother changed the bone claws very genes...

\'I will make you a perfect counter to him.\'

Those were her mother\'s last words before she had activated her unique skill [Biokinesis] on her spirit.

Although the pain she felt was nowhere near what her spirit was feeling...It was still immense because of their bond.

The pain of having one\'s genetics changed, having their cells reconfigured and their muscles change and shift.

It was excruciating.

She could hear the screams of her spirit in her mind and was getting scared.

What will mother do to her for losing? What about \'father?\'

Such thoughts sent shivers down her spine.

"Khhhhh..."

She let out a pained groan, as she suffered a fiery headache.

This was why most of Morgana\'s chimera experiments couldn\'t succeed...the pain involved was just too much. And she didnt use anesthetic because she was of the belief that if the chimera couldn\'t handle that pain then there was no use for it.

Lilith cried out in pain again...If she was feeling this much...

What was her bone claw facing?

*********

[Wellington estate.]

"My lady, we have prepared tea for you."

A maid of the Wellington family informed Sabrina, whilst outside her room. She didn\'t dare go in without the Young Lady\'s permission.

She was at least a C-rank awakened, such an awakened, who could be a guild leader of an average guild was working as a mere maid for the Wellington\'s not even a head maid.

"My lady, the patriarch has ordered for you to drin-"

"Fuck Off."

"..!"

The maid was shocked. Her beautiful face contorted as she...for the first time ever in her entire life of service, heard the Young Lady curse.

Sabrina always treated the staff at the estate with respect and never cursed or treated them badly, unlike other privileged children. So...this was a shock.

"My lady, The patriarch has ordered you to eat and drink well, it will help you in fi-"

"FUCK OFF!"

A massive surge of dark mana from Sabrina\'s room threw the maid and the drinks away. She collided with the wall. The wall would have crumbled if it was an ordinary wall.

"Cough!"

The maid coughed up blood as the mana of Darkness assaulted her insides.

"As you wish, My lady."

She bowed down and left in a hurry after cleaning the mess up. Thankfully, her rank was high enough to withstand the Darkness mana for some time, otherwise, she would have died.

The darkness around Sabrina\'s room was dense, her door was leaking subtle amounts of Dark mana. This had been going on for a while and despite Wellington\'s efforts...they still struggled to cure it. They had materials to help, but the problem lay in Sabrina...

Inside her room filled with the dense Darkness mana, she was huddled in a corner with her head on her knees.

Her condition was a mess, the beauty she was known for was gone, nowhere to be seen, she had large dark circles around her eyes and irregular nails, it was as if she was biting them continuously. The blood on her fingers was proof of it.

Furthermore, she was skinny. It was evident she had lost a lot of weight because of denying to eat anything for days. She would have starved to death if she wasn\'t awakened.

The elders of the Wellingtons were contemplating forcing her to eat something but didn\'t dare to do it yet without Hugo\'s approval. James, the only one who had suffered the corruption of the darkness had taught them a lesson on what could happen...So they were on the brink of barging into her room, restraining her, and restoring her health through whatever means necessary.

If Hugo wasn\'t in the Capitol for business currently, they were sure he would\'ve barged into her room by himself and forced some food down Sabrina\'s throat. But, they could not blame her for her current attitude.

The corruption of Darkness was a serious issue indeed. Jame\'s had been ignored when he was facing it, and well...that didn\'t turn too well did it? They all thought he would surpass it because he was talented...Well, that was a dark history for the Wellington family. The Irony.

Sabrina was also their Jewel, the jewel was now being corrupted. The elders were on the brink of kicking her door open.

"make it...Stop!"

Sabrina clawed at her head, blood seeped out from her scalp because of her actions.

She was using pain to ward the voices off...but it wasn\'t working.

[You can\'t get rid of usss....]

[Embrace us...]

[AccEPT USS...]

The voices became even crazier as time passed...and Sabrina didn\'t remember how long it had been since she slept.

Suddenly, as she was clawing at her own head, a piece of parchment entered her room from beneath her door.

"It\'s me."

She heard the voice of her Uncle, James Wellington.

"The parchment contains a spell that can cause pain without affecting your physical appearance. Use it to ward the voices off."

His voice was the same as always, Emotionless. But...Sabrina knew that currently...he was the only one who understood her somewhat.

He had gone through this before, and during his pain, the Wellingtons had made the mistake of believing that James could get over it by himself.

"Also, eat some food. Or else the Elders will barge in and force-feed you."

He advised. Was he feeling pity for Sabrina?

Or was it Sympathy?

"Was...it like this for you too?"

Asked a weakened Sabrina from her dark room. James, on the outside, basking in the sunlight responded.

"It was worse."

He said.

"Haha..."

Sabrina let out a laugh. She laughed at her own stupidity. Of course, it was...That man had a higher affinity for the element than her and had used it much more extensively than Sabrina. Sabrina didn\'t use this Element because of Her uncle. She knew how much he used the Darkness...and how much it hurt him when the Corruption came.

"Your Birthday is coming, get better soon."

He left after saying those words. Sabrina used her mana and checked whether he was truly gone. After confirming he was, she limped towards the piece of parchment. Her clothes were also covered in blood, from the scars she inflicted on herself.

"..."

She cast the Elven magic spell on her and convulsed repeatedly from the pain.

But at least...the voices were being overshadowed by the pain.

She went to her corner and grit her teeth as she withstood the pain.

\'How are the other\'s doing?\'

She thought, better than she was she hoped.

She hoped Elijah, Henry, Serena, and Elaine were doing well....and prayed Alan\'s recovery was going well.

She had been detached from any news of the outside world for quite a while, so she was unaware that Alan had already recovered and gone to train. She didn\'t check his status for a while as well, the last time she did he was nearly dying...Unbeknownst to her Alan was getting his ass kicked by the Sword Saint that time.

\'I wanna see him...\'

She wished. She liked him, so it was natural that she wanted to see him...But at the same time, she didn\'t want him to see her like this.

"...I need to...find a solution soon."

She looked at her desk, filled with papers. She tried meddling with Spatial equations more when she returned to the state, and if she was right she may have solved some and found the Spatial coordinates of some planets but because she lacked the ability to use Spatial Mana, she was unsure.

She needed to find a solution for this fast...the voices here are too..strong. She checked the Wellington storage for any items that would help...but the items there were only A+ class treasures...she concluded that she needed at least an S-rank item to solve this.

But that was the problem. S-rank items were already rare, and mind-protecting ones were even rarer. The Wellington\'s had the money to buy one, the problem lay where to buy one. Hugo had also gone to the Capitol to search for one, but the chances of finding one were low.

\'I wanna see him...\'

She wished again, and it seems the gods heard her.

A Blue portal opened in front of her. And The one she wanted to see stepped out.

"Dark room, huh...?!"

As he laid his eyes on Sabrina and saw her condition, Sabrina\'s body shivered as she could feel his rage.

She was shocked, unable to process what was happening in front of her, she thought it was a dream maybe.

Alan grabbed her skinny shoulders and looked her right in the eye, causing her to blush and said,

"Who the fuck did this?!"

His voice sounded worried and angry, very angry.

**********

[Few moments prior]

Alan laid down on the ground after an intense day of training and looked at the sky, his thoughts unknown.

"I wanna go see Sabrina..."

Wow, Both of them had the same wish.

Shocking.

He looked around and when he saw that no one was looking at him. He said.

"fuck it."

He opened up a portal and entered it.
