Advent of the Three Calamities

Chapter 500: The puppets [1]



Dang~

Da Da Da-

Dang-Da Da-!

A lively tune played in the air.

The note flowed smoothly through the air as two thick fingers gracefully pressed the piano keys.

Dang-Da Da-!

It was a simple tune, and yet... it played wonderfully in the air.

The tune continued to play for several more minutes before finally coming to a stop.

"Good, you've improved quite a lot."

"Ah, master."

Scratching the back of his head, the young child looked down embarrassingly.

"You weren't able to play the tune in the past but look at you now. You're becoming smarter and smarter by the day. How about it? Do you feel the changes?"

"...I do."

The child replied, his voice sounding a little deeper than it had been in the past.

A couple of years had passed since the day he had been brought into the room and trained with his master. He was now thirteen and his body had undergone several changes. He was bigger than he was in the past, his frame larger and his muscles bulkier.

"This is all thanks to master.'

The child's thoughts were now clearer than before.

He could speak fluently, and he absorbed all information like a sponge.

And all of it was due to the miraculous drug his master had fed him. Without his master, he'd be nothing.

"Tell me what the changes are. How strong are you now?"

"...I'm not sure, but I am on the verge of developing a domain."

"A domain by the age of fourteen? Not bad, not bad at all."

The child, who was now a teenager smiled happily.

"I've done my best."

"You've far exceeded my expectations. I think it's almost time for you to go out." "Out?"

A look of excitement flashed in the teen's eyes.
