Project Pegasus

V 1.1 Chapter 15: The Flame that Burns Light.

November 9, 2016:

After weeks of experimenting, all demon parts transplanted on Ada were rejected by her weak constitution. Her condition was getting worse for every experiment performed. Each day that passed by was like a weeks' worth of life removed from her. The necromancy to extend her life was not enough. I had no choice but to halt the experiment.

March 20, 2017:

It's already been three months. I had tried everything I could think of, yet, all of it failed to cure her. I was too late; Ada died. However, I must fulfill my promise to Agatha. Our daughter must live. I asked my friend to cast necromancy to preserve her body. Even if I sell my soul to the devil, I will revive her.

July 22, 2017:

After an endless wandering in Razzia, I met one of my colleagues from Khina. He told me about a top-secret project they made 10 years ago after the 'Legendary Hero' died, extracting the consciousness of a human being.

My hope was restored. If I can't transplant demon parts to Ada's body, then I just have to transfer her consciousness to a demon.

July 29, 2017:

Using the article he gave me, I began studying, researching this method. However, it didn't go according to plan. In order to preserve a person's consciousness, a demon's corpse was not enough. It required something mechanical. Thus, the project aimed at creating a modern Frankenstein was born, Artificial Demon Android or Project: A.D.A.

"I can't believe someone would do this to their own daughter."

[Emi] Master, I am detecting a number of unidentified beings approaching us.

Eight guards entered the room each carrying a gun. Half of them wore something on their heads similar to NVD or Night Vision Goggles.

"We know you're standing there," a guard announced while pointing his sub-machine gun at me. "Resistance is futile. Come with us or we will shoot you."

How can they see me? Is it those goggles?

"Deactivate your invisibility now, and raise your hands," the same guard from before shouted.

Tsk, I don't have a choice.

"Barrier." Using magic I created a translucent shield made of mana. Seeing this the guards were alarmed and they repeatedly shot at me. However, the barrier blocked all of their bullets.

Zero has a built-in defense mechanism, but I need to be sure.

"Water Whip." In combination with looping, a function I invented before, a number of runes appeared and created water whips enough to disarm all my opponents. Soon after, I cast fireball knocking out the guards.

While walking towards the door, I examined them to confirm something.

Thank God, they're still alive. I know this is a mission with our lives on the line but I can't just bring myself to kill someone.

"I'm still not ready to do that."

As I went out of the room, I saw a familiar girl with her head staring down on the left side of the corridor, gazing at her every step while plodding towards me.

"Wolf? What are you doing here?" However, she didn't respond. Waves of silence pervaded the entire place. "Wolf?" Suddenly, she dashed towards me and punched me. It was too fast that I couldn't react. It threw me to a considerable distance, producing cracks on the wall behind me. Good thing the defense mechanism of the suit worked or I might've died in that attack. Staring at the girl, a lot of questions arose in every part of my mind. "What are you doing, Wolf?" It was Robyn, my partner in this mission.
