The tunnel in the dark pathway is about a hundred meters long with various chambers on the left and right.
With his Aura Sensing ability, Azzy could see that all of them are empty except for one chamber, but Claire wanted to inspect every chamber for some reason.
Luckily for them, none of the chambers were locked. So, without making any sound, they managed to enter and inspect them.
The first chamber on the left contained just stone slabs and blankets. On the corner, there was an unclean toilet. They could smell the urine even from far away.
"This must be where the victims were forced to take rest," Claire mumbled as she looked around.
"Let's go." Azzy touched her arm.
She nodded and left the chamber to go to the next one. It was also the same as before one.
One after another, she continued to inspect the chambers and found all of them were just sleeping chambers. She thought there will be other chambers for experiments but she was wrong.
In the end, after five-six minutes, they reached the main chamber with a large metal door. This one is closed.
"Shall we knock or blast through it?" She asked.
"Leave it to me," replied Azzy as he placed his palm on the door. First of all, the temperatures in a coal mine would already be very high, and if there's a metal door, it's natural that it will be very hot.
But, Azzy didn't mind this little temperature. After all, his body is tremendously tough like steel.
He closed his eyes as he poured soul energy into his palm. Instead of trying it push away through force, he slowly tried to empower it as one does with swords or other weapons.
As his soul energy is destructive in nature, the entire steel door that was covered by black energy turned into powder in just a moment.
But, what welcomed them is a bunch of Arcana Masters who didn't appear to be tense or so whatever. All of them are perfectly awake too.
A woman welcomed the two of them with a smile, "I didn't expect the two rats who intruded our place are just kids. I'm really curious about your identities."
Azzy and Claire stepped inside calmly and looked around. Just like he had sensed earlier, there were six of them with the strongest in the peak stage of the Upper Elite realm.
Inside the chamber, there were a series of tables arranged in the center of the chamber with at least six feet of gap between each of them. There were needles, scalpels, gloves, and other surgical equipment scattered around.
At a corner, there's a rack full of glass containers filled with some unknown liquid. Each of them either contained a pair of yellow eyes or a large brain that is at least two-three times bigger than an average human's.
If not for the fact that they didn't resemble a human's, Azzy would have thought that this is some organ trafficking, instead of werewolf experiments.
However, the most disturbing scene wasn't that. It was the cell placed on the right side of the chamber where about seventy-six subjects are clustered together. There was a barrier on the outside of the cell.
Fortunately, the space is big enough for each of them to sit comfortably. However, right now, all of them are currently sleeping because it is around 4 o'clock, or maybe, unconscious because of some drug, who knows…
Azzy's hands shivered in fury as he saw dozens of Aura of deaths. So, unless he personally intervenes in the situation, their death is inevitable. More than that, with his Aura Sensing, he could see how chaotic some of their soul energy is behaving and is on the verge of exploding their organs. Maybe, this is the reason they have the Aura of Deaths.
Azzy is no longer in a mood to analyze them.
Even though Claire didn't observe all the things as Azzy did, she was on the same page as him.
Before Azzy takes action, Claire spoke first, "surrender yourselves in peace and free them."
"Or else what?" The woman in charge smirked as she crossed her arms to the chest while leaning to the edge of the table. "I suppose great rank-4s like you two will put us into our place? You should have brought your other companion with you. A mid-rank-6 expert could at least put up some fight."
Azzy and Claire glanced at each other before giving a nod to each other. They removed all of the seals on their respective soul orbs, revealing their real soul power.
As a trace of surprise appeared on the woman's face, this time, Claire smirked, "we aren't adults but not fools either. Representing World Arcana Masters Organization, I ask you one last time. Will you surrender in peace or will we force you to do so?"
Loren turned serious, "You fooled us for good but you are too na?ve to think that you could defeat us with just the two of you.
Considering your high soul power, you two will make a great specimen for our experiment. Once the two of you will turn our race, you will join those five." She pointed at the five other guards while transforming into a new form.
This wasn't a full transformation. A partial transformation that is similar to that of Evan, except that her whole body and the sides of her face were covered by gray fur instead of just limbs.
"Alice, Simeon, take care of the girl. The remaining will be on standby. The boy is my prey." Loren passed the orders.
Just like puppets, two peak-rank-5 experts made their move as soon as they received the orders. They neither opened their mouth nor did they spare a glance at Azzy.
Both of them attacked Claire, trying to finish their job. Claire charged forward towards them like lightning and gave powerful punches to their abdomen, one after another.
Both of them crashed onto the wall and fell onto the floor.
Summoning the divine sword, Claire glanced at the surprised Loren, "told you so. Now that you have already made your choice, you can only regret it later in the maximum-security prison."
Meanwhile, Azzy summoned the helpers for it is difficult for him to keep an eye on everyone's movements. Unfortunately, he already used Eyes of God, two hours ago. So, he could only wait for a couple of more hours before using it again.
<strong>"Soul skill: Rise of the Undead"</strong>
<strong>"I summon you, Hydra King, Aurora"</strong>
<strong>"Wake up, Vajra"</strong>
In a fraction of a second, a high-rank-6 Celestial grade black-lightning wolf, a low-rank-5 skeletal snake, and a peak-rank-6 platinum grade skeletal wolf appeared beside him.
"You are a Necro-summoner!" Loren's facial expression darkened. She was aware of the potential of necromancers who could summon the skeletons of beasts and humans that were killed by the user.
But, even more, than them, the necro-summoners, who have the abilities to control the dead as well as summon another beast are even more troublesome. Fortunately for her, summoners are usually bad at close combat. So, she thought she would win if it is one on one.
Looking at the other three who were on standby, she passed the orders without hesitation. "Trixie, Chase, and Stuart, you three kill those beasts."
"Everyone, Choose the ones in your realm. Only single target soul skills are permitted to be used." Azzy quickly passed the instructions to the three of them and charged towards Loren.
