[ One month ago, in the secret laboratory used by the demonic humans]
Alice opened her eyes, not knowing how long she had been asleep. She was floating in a large tube filled with water, her hair flowing with the currents.
It had been two months since she was experimented on, and her body underwent many changes. After being pumped full of demonic energy, her body eventually accepted it, albeit painfully, and she completed the Energy Absorption stage.
After her body rested for a few days, Kristy continued with her experiments, not only on Alice but also on Stephen, Lucas, and Ivy. After a few weeks, she completed the mana transitioning stage. Now, her body was flowing with demonic energy instead of mana.
During all of this, she tried her hardest to escape, to fight back, to even end herself as she didn't want to be used this way, but it was to no avail. Even the location rune Lidia engraved on her faded away as her body accepted demonic energy and expelled mana.
