Babel, the gracious villain!

knowing about the existence of another intelligent species was already too much for him, but now, knowing there is more than one intelligent species was like adding icing to the cake.

'If this glass dome has a demon, then what about the other glass domes?' Leviathan gulped as his eyes swept through the numerous glass domes in different sizes. His eyes rested on a specific glass dome. It was the biggest and the largest glass dome compared to the other 'experimenting prisons.'

"What about the other ones?" Leviathan astonishingly asked.

"This lab was created in order to learn more about the other races, so obviously we have a few specimens from other races, too. Well, not all of them, but some of them." Alexy scratched his forehead.

"What other races do you have here?" Leviathan specifically asked since he doesn't really know about the other races apart from the humans, dwarves and the new one, Demons.

"Err... That one is a vampire. The one after that is a dark elf and the one after that is a wood elf." Alexy crooked his neck to the side as he cannot see beyond the wood elf.

Leviathan slowly walked towards the glass dome, obviously with Alexy in his hands.

"Ahh yes, that one is an ice elf and the big one after that is an orc. This is an ogre. A goblin and..." His voice trailed off as he watched the large empty glass dome. "This... was reserved for a giant, but we are yet to acquire a sample." His voice becoming solemn.

[Fuck, this guy is a maniac. Look at him becoming emotional over not getting a play toy. Oh well, who am I talking to- another lunatic.]

Leviathan was in a dazed state. He knew something was off about all of these things. It was like a fantasy dream for him. He just simply climbed this mountain to acquire the herb and look at him now, inside a dwarven villainous group's hideout, discovering there are possibly more than many intelligent creatures apart from the humans.

This truly was like a dream. If this turns out to be true, then this could be bigger than him and his revenge on Home-Bringer. Is this why the gods have turned time for him? But his father had given him another reason. Leviathan contemplated on the issue at hand.

[Your father was just another human being, do not- for even a second think that he knows anything about the celestial world. Their orders and their decree are absolute. All of them have reasons and it is not because of some petty reasons of a teenager for revenge.] System stated the fact.

Alexy then proceeded to talk about other missing specimen but Leviathan's eyes were drawn to a specific glass dome. It was not huge. Maybe, of the same height as the human dome, but the blue light coming from it completely overshadows the green light of the other glass domes.

"...Like I said, these are--"

"What is in that dome?" Leviathan cut him off and pointed his blade at the lone glass dome.

"Tha-that's..." Alexy fidgeted, indicating something suspicious in there.

Without saying anything, Leviathan walked towards the lone glass dome, pushing Alexy along with him.

The blue translucent light coming from the dome didn't interrupt the view of the inside. It only affects when someone is far away. If they are close enough, then the content of the glass dome is visible just like the content of the green glass dome.

On the glass dome, he can see her clearly. The beauty oozing through her was enough to make his heart pound. Her long and pointed ears radiated graciousness. Her Silver blonde hair cascaded like a beautiful waterfall. Even though she was in rags, her beauty never faded. Her eyes were closed and if it wasn't for her healthy skin, he would've thought she was also a specimen.

He could feel her health through her skin. She's not dead.

"Wha-what is she?" Leviathan asked with peak curiosity. He thought Aurelia was beautiful, but seeing this creature, he changed his mind. He could no longer think someone from the human realm is the most beautiful one, as there are dozens of intelligent species out there with this much beauty oozing from them.

[Humans are trash.]

"She-uh... it's a high-elf." Alexy stammered.

"She isn't dead?"

"No. She's not a specimen. She's a prisoner."

"Is this the high-profile prisoner you guys were talking about?" Leviathan asked, feeling mischievous.

"Ye-yes. She's an important personnel in the Elven kingdom. Since the elves can attack our base in other kingdom, the higher ups thought this would be the safest place to keep her." Alexy blurted out the truth without being asked to. He was growing accustomed to his capture. It might be because of the captures curiosity to gain knowledge. Alexy liked to explain nerdy things to people. Most people just ignore that, but now he has got someone who is willing to listen to things he's saying.

"Why--"

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*

A large and loud alarm sound suddenly went off. It was so loud, Leviathan was sure the entire tunnel, including the other 17, was feeling it.

"You--"

"No! it wasn't me!" Alexy shouted before Leviathan can complete his accusation.

[Get out of here. They must not have received their hourly or minutely report because someone here killed all the useful ones.]

"Yeah--"

*Thump*

Suddenly, he heard a loud thumping sound from the glass dome only to find the high-elf looking straight at his eyes. Her crimson eyes drilling through him. He was having the biggest goosebumps he ever got in his life.

Even though her body was clearly in the weak state, her eyes were screaming murder.

"Calm down, my lady. I'm your help here." He raised his hands to show her peace.

'Is this how you show peace in the Elven kingdom?'

[What the fuck are you going to do? You are not thinking about bringing her to the human realm, are you?]

'What? No! no, of course no.' He happily said. The system was getting a bad vibe from him.

Leviathan can feel many beings approaching him.

"Alexy. How can I get her out of there?" He looked at Alexy.

"You can break this with your blade, but even if you help her, there might be more than 70 armed guards coming here. You can't possibly take them all." Alexy voiced out his opinion.

"No problems. I can handle it. Now, where is the exit?"

"Exit? Oh, here." The little dwarf suddenly give him a little circular device, which was of the size of a watch.

"What is this?" Leviathan examined the device and the sudden summoning of it.

'Dwarves are truly advanced.'

"It's a teleportation device. Here you can set your coordinates and teleport but in order to activate this, you have to exit from the tunnel since the tunnel is blocked from these devices. You can teleport from the water, too." Alexy was now acting like a henchman to the trashy hero without even noticing it.

'Can I store a living being in the system inventory?' He was itching to take the little dwarf out of here to know more about the other species.

[The fuck do you think the system inventory is? A zoo?] System rebuked on his innocent question.

"Oh, well, that's a shame. Alexy, thank you for your help. I won't kill you as I will be required to need your help in the future. So, stay alive. I'll knock you out since we don't wanna take any risk. Understand?"

Alexy nodded his head vigorously like a cute little puppy. "When can I meet you again, big brother?"

"..."

[...]

{...}

[...Pfff....Big brother...]

'Shut the fuck up!' It was even cringe for the trashy hero.

He patted on the little dwarf's head. "Soon, little brother. Soon. And if anyone ask about me, tell them, 'Babel' was just visiting here."

[Oh fuck, so cringe]

'...'

"I'll wai--"

*Slap*

And the little dwarf just dropped dead. No, he wasn't 'dead' dead, he was just sleeping peacefully.

"Now, On to you, my lady." He cracked his knuckles and looked at the blazing eyes of the beautiful elf.
