Inside a quiet and luxurious room, the muffled booms that were coming from the ceiling suddenly stopped.
But all of a sudden, there was a sudden thud on the floor as a figure fell through a very large hole that was created on the ceiling.
The room was at least 10 meters high, but the figure had no problem dropping from that high to the floor.
Standing up steadily, the figure's blood red eyes scanned the room like it owned it and after a few seconds, like a log of wood, the figure dropped to the ground with a bam.
He was unconscious. It was understandable, he had given his all despite the lack of oxygen he had been experiencing.
It should be known that every Spryher required a large amount of oxygen to smoothly increase and steadily circulate the blood in their bodies.
Lack of oxygen mightt as well be called lack of energy.
A Spryher could hole his breath much longer than a normal human could but if the Spryher was required to move about or was required to do a task, then a human could probably hold his breath much longer than a Spryher could.
David's breath was long, sharp and quick. Although he was unconscious, his subconsciousness was actively sucking in as much oxygen as his body could probably handle. And the dust and murky smell in the surroundings.
It was unknown how much time had passed, David groaned miserably in pain.
He was feeling a massive headache as though there was lightning striking across his brain like a thunder storm.
If you asked David what he hated the most, it was thinking too much because of the headache it usually caused him and now he was feeling the same headache he hated.
He really felt like cutting his head off, really.
Sighing lightly he stood up gently as he scanned his surroundings.
His breathing was slightly rough as he scanned through the hidden room. His stamina had been mostly depleted after activating Earth Swim, Three-Fold Step, Formless heat and scorching fury for several periods of time.
He was astonished by what he saw. The cave was small by some standards but it was also wide.
The room was extremely luxurious. But the decay of time could be seen on its surfaces.
The floors were made of colored tiles arranged in jagged patterns, and the walls were made of glass, revealing additional views of the city and the mountains to the east.
A frosted glass partition separated the lobby from a private office. Silk banners hung from the ceiling. Polished stone pedestals held golden and silver statues portraying nude men and women.
Everything in the room was rich and lavish; David found himself awed, and envious that he never had a place so luxurious.
David found himself in a small lobby, walking a bit, he walked through a set of glass doors in the frosted glass partition, and he was about to pass into a wide open office space, when he suddenly stopped on his way.
On his way to the office, he saw a few glass tanks which had been tightly sealed, containing a weird kind of fluid whose colour David couldn't even discribe.
It was almost like the mixture of violet and green, the color was strangely bizzare as they refused to mix with each other and it seem as though they contained the same density, viscosity and weight as the two colours refused to separate from each other.
On a normal circumstances, if oil and water were mixed together in a container, one of the fluid would float upwards, while the other would sink downwards.
The water molecules attract each other, and the oil molecules stick together. That causes oil and water to form two separate layers. Water molecules pack closer together, so they sink to the bottom, leaving oil sitting on top of the water.
But the fluids in the tanks refused to mix but neither of the fluid sink to the bottom of the tank which made David slightly surprised.
There were seven of the tanks near the office and David could guess it was a sort of hidden underground laboratory.
Moving closer, David eyes blinked rapidly, it was as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
There was a human head in the fluid. But David only saw a head, the head was all dried up to the point of being only a skeleton.
The rest of the body part was also beginning to surface as David squinted his eyes to check.
Removing himself from the glass surface of the tank, David checked the other tanks and he realised that it was also the same for the other six tanks.
Breathing in deeply, David calmed his nerves and his goosebumps down. He ignored the shiveres down his spine and walked towards the office
The office looked much like the lobby, only instead of statues and banners there were holograms and display screens. Contrasting with the bright floors and the bright exterior view, there was a black desk on one end of the room, made of a rare dark organic wood.
Which was a rare find in this world which David was also aware of.
One thought suddenly came to him. 'No one had found this place, even the institute!'
David's lips splitted into a grin as he laughed wildly. His headache was long since forgotten.
It was an hidden underground laboratory that had been very hidden and from what David could guess, the steel wall he had broken through contains some kind of property that hides the entire place from different scanners seeing that no one had been here before.
Those type of materials, were very expensive to acquire and if one calculated based on the grade of the organisation called StoneViod, it was impossible for them to obtain this much VoidSteel to hide the Underground labs from different scanners.
Void Steels were extremely hard to acquire. It was even impossible to get them with only Gyno points as it requires a certain amount of connections and favours.
Void Steel although quite fragile which was seen as a Spyher (David) was able to breakthrough it. It has the ability to keep things hidden as it absorbs every signals sent to it.
Just like a stone thrown into the void.. It won't cause a single ripple and would stay undetected, completely hidden from plain view.
