Liora stood still in one of the private vault chambers deep inside Luxoria Castle.
She quickly called Lucius with their connection.
"Master, I have something interesting for you to see."
A moment passed before a soft hum echoed.
Lucius Luxoria appeared from a corridor, stepping into the room.
His eyes gleamed as he folded his hands behind his back.
"What is it, Liora?"
Without a word, Liora turned to the side and opened, taking out something from her system vault.
The unconscious bodies of Vernyx and Scaldrith dropped onto the metal floor.
Both were bruised, armor cracked, wires sparking, limbs twitching faintly.
Still alive—but fully passed out.
Lucius raised a brow.
His smile widened.
"Well now…"
He slowly walked around the two hybrids, crouching slightly beside Vernyx.
"Humanoid beasts with machine fusion…"
He turned to Scaldrith's still form.
"Clean limb coordination. Cybernetic nervous systems… and a blend of organic and mechanical tissue."
