Designated Warlock Shadowmancer

ical damage, ” the researcher replied.

”Well? So is it Ryka tongue? ” the captain shot back, now looking observantly at Leonidas.

”This is the tongue of my people… wait… ” Leonidas whispered, trying his best to use the tongue of this world.

Zero-nine and his people had at least been given basic education to test out their intellectual capabilities, so the information was there.

”Me… ah… me not zero nine, ” Leonidas said slowly, trying to string together the new words.

”This normal? ” the captain asked, now looking back at the researchers.

”Again sir, we have no idea what is causing this. There seems to be no neurological damage, but there is an extreme change in brain activity. This might be a side effect of that, ” the researcher responded.

”Me… ” Leonidas was about to say but found there was no direct translation of his name. ”Me offworlder, ” he said after some thought. However, he realized his mistake a moment after. Everyone in the room turned to look at him incredulously.

”N-not Ryka… offworlder, ” he tried explaining. Apparently, Ryka meant offworlder, and he had just **ed himself over.

”Someone check its wesen levels, ” the captain shouted, and the whole room went into panic mode. Several soldiers eyes began glowing with power, each of them standing in a fighting stance a distance away from him.

”Wesen levels normal, ” one of the researchers answered.

”Vitals normal as well, ” another stated.

”Enough of all this. Take it to the chamber room, well remind it of what it is, ” the captain said. At this point, Leonidas was still trying to piece together a sentence that could explain their situation to them.

As he was being unhooked from the computers and machines, he finally pieced a sentence together.

”Great shadow will engulf world. I am only saviour, time… very small left. Free me, I search and destroy shadow, ” Leonidas said finally. For a moment the soldiers and researchers stopped unhooking him, and the captain moved to stand in front of him.

”Your kind have already engulfed our world. But don worry, well make sure we put you to good use getting rid of them, ” the captain said in a slow almost rage-filled voice, before headbutting him and knocking him out.

When Leonidas woke up, he was strapped to yet another machine. Though this one kept his head fastened in one direction, facing a large blank screen.

~These people seem fond of metal works,~ Leonidas thought to himself, finding that the chair he was strapped to was very uncomfortable.

It seemed he was alone in the darkroom for now, with the only source of light being the blank bright screen in front of him.

~If these people won believe me, Ill just have to get out of here,~ he thought to himself before attempting to run mana through his mana vessels.

Nothing.

There was not a single speck of mana in the environment. Leonidas found this odd as he couldve sworn that the men who had detained him were using mana.

His train of thought was interrupted when the screen in front of him beeped to life, now displaying an image. It was the image of a war-stricken country, human bodies salvaged and sprawled about.

”The history of mankind… a documented account, ” a robotic voice said from the screen. As it spoke, Leonidas could feel something attempting to manipulate his mind, it was similar to mind magic from his world. They were trying to brainwash him.
