The Bloody Pit!

The blood pit was greatest junkyard of mad scientists. Death hand threw every failure inside from failed concoctions to mutated corpses. Voluntary entering this shit wasn't madness, it was simple death wish. Entering pit was one way without possibility of return.

Pain awoke white-haired boy, two guards were watching over him as instructor ordered them. At the moment of his awakening, they started dragging him somewhere.

"Where are you taking me?" They stayed silent, answering question of dead man was useless. One of them broke the silence after few meters.

"You are dead. SHUT UP!" His voice carried trace of irritation, Aron could believe their words.

'I won the battle… His words didn't sound like joking. They are going to kill me?' Many desperate thoughts started appearing inside of his head. Killing the guards? Impossible! They were stronger than him by many folds. Entering space? Living rest of his life inside of space wasn't something positive.

They arrived at the destination. Walking through multiple underground corridors lead them to giant double sealed doors. Middle of doors had text written with blood.

"THE DEATH WILL LIVE AND LIFE WILL DIE! THIS PLACE OF PLIGHT CANNOT SEE THE LIGHT!" It was bizarre sentence, however both of guards started to move faster.

"I will give you one chance. Use this dagger to kill yourself…" Little taller of men said with pity, and it was like mercy killing.

"It's your last chance. It's one way to hell… Words over there are not lie. You don't want be alive down there! I assure you!" Aron scanned expression of this man and he was deadly serious. They were scared of this place and something was wrong.

'I cannot escape? I won't die for nothing! THERE IS REVENGE TO TAKE!' He didn't accept their suggestion and both of them looked at him with disgust.

Opening doors required troublesome set of actions. Firstly, you needed to use 7 valves in right combination and every each of them needed to be used in right tempo. Secondly, there was 12 key holes to unlock second seal.

'They are serious with sealing this place…' Escaping through this way will be rather impossible as doors were at least 10 meters thick.

"I wish you fast death! KID!" The room behind door wasn't big, something around twenty square meters. The only thing in room was odd looking lid, after lifting lid nothing could be seen inside of this pit.

'It's like abyss. I wonder how deep…' Guards threw him into hole without any further delay.

Aron needed to act fast, falling from such height would turn his body in meat pulp. Only choice was to summon something to act as brakes. His choice was big stick with length to reach entire perimeter of hole. His speed started to become survivable, finally he reached to bottom of it.

[Highly toxic substance detected. CAUTION!]

It was strong acid inside of the air, his skin started to slowly melt.

'SHIT!' His body couldn't withstand such toxicity and only way was to hide inside of space.

[It won't help. Substances already entered host body. Host will die or mutate into something more primitive.]

[Calculating chances of survival…]

[Possibility of host surviving and maintaining any intelligence is equal to 1%.]

[Possibly of host dissolving is 64%.]

[Possibility of host mutating into something more primitive 35%.]

'How much do I have?' It was already second death, his voice became depressed. Series of stupid decision caused entering this hopeless situation.

[Depends of effects. Host has from few hours to two days left of life.]

"Give me godly luck to survive with this intelligence! FREAKING 1 % COME ON!' He already lost his hope, meeting death again wasn't bad thing. He didn't need to try unlock his memories, or worry about any other things. Death will free him from every worry or pain.

Aron's body mutated into something similar to parasitic bacteria, weirdly powers of systems remained inside of this deformed abomination. The journey of being without form or intelligence started.

Meanwhile, Rose was searching for Aron and rest of blackwind bandits. Human lives were worth nothing in her eyes, she moved from village to village leaving ashes behind her. The location provided by leader didn't lead her anywhere. Rose didn't leave village her entire life, so she couldn't know outside world.

Another problem was inability to stay calm for longer period of time. Her anger and pride couldn't handle asking for directions to villagers.

Her deeds finally caught eyes of one groups in power. The elemental group from blood city. Death hand was only one of possible organizations.

Second power was church of purity, group of people obsessed with purity of humankind. Their only problem was artificial angel bloodline. They believed that humans are descendants of angel race and it was only true purity.

Third organization was made by lightning elemental. This group had no particular purpose or agenda. They basically did what they wanted and conflicts with other groups was on their daily basis.

Rose's whereabouts aroused interest of their leader, getting another elemental into their ranks was always interesting. He sent some of his people to invite her for conversation and recruit her if possible.

Her position was quickly discovered as control over her power was hard. She was like walking nuclear reactor of fire mana. Another fact didn't make finding her extremely easier were burned places left behind without any care.

Rose was sitting in middle of sea of fire, completely disconnected to outside would.

"HEY!" Voice didn't reach her at all, earth elemental used earth control to move earth under girl's body.

"WHO!?" She didn't need an answer, stream of fire already flew into their direction.

"FUCK!" Earth elemental created shield to protect himself and his comrade. Flames were extremely intensive, and there was not signs of Rose intention to stop cooking them.

"WE ARE NOT YOUR ENEMIES! WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU!" Rose stopped releasing fire as wandering in circles made her irritated.

"TALK!" They approached her and hypnotizer tried to use his powers.

"If you come with us. We will find them and bring them to you." Rose felt something was wrong and scanned person with her eyes.

"DIE!" Fire enfolded entire hypnotizer and erased his existence.

"TALK! OR JOIN YOUR FRIEND!" Earth elemental explained situation and proposed assistance in searching.

"LET'S GO TO THE CITY! I AM SICK OF THIS PLACE! REMEMBER I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE MESSING WITH ME!" She pointed at pile of ashes that was left from hypnotizer.

'She is so strong at her human form. What happens if she enters elemental form?' He thought about her capability and possibility of battle between her and his boss.
