Countless eyes fell on him as soon as he entered the lab.

An old man looked at the boy and said to a middle aged man with a shabby beard

"Is there really nothing to increase the probability of success?"

The middle aged man shook his head and replied

"It just depends on luck at the end. It's actually difficult since we have to keep him concious when I do the work."

"So what is the percentage that he'll die after that?"

This time it was asked by a very attractive lady who looked like 30 years old.

After few of seconds of silence the middle aged man replied "Around 80%."

"*sigh*, I really don't want to lose the boy." the thin man who picked the blue eyed child in the beginning said.

"Well... It is our lord's command. We can't go against him." the old man replied.

"*sigh*" the thin man with the messy hair could only sigh at the end.

By now all the preparations were done and the child was already placed on the bed.

The old man first fed the child a pill. Then he caressed the child's eyes gently.

And it was also the first time the child showed fear since he tried to run away from the facility and got caught.

The child guessed what was going to happen and wanted to shake his head but found out he couldn't.

It was because of the pill the old man gave him.

The old man then took a knife like equipment and placed it near the corner of his eye.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...."

All that remained was a shrill scream of a child full of pain.

Another few hours passed like that. The room was now filled with more people.

There were alchemists and High Elves standing beside the child's bed.

The elves' hand was shining with light blue color as the same colored light covered the boy.

Slowly the child opened his eyes. Shocks of gasps could be heard around.

"The lad... really survived." the attractive lady murmured in a daze.

The old man gulped and said "This is indeed a miracle."

The boy immediately felt a sense of desolation. He couldn't see many things he was able to see back then.

There was a bowl of water on the side. He immediately looked at his face and was frozen.

It was because there were no blue eyes. Instead it was replaced with gray eyes.

The others didn't seem to mind his actions. The thin man with messy hair grinned and said

"Isn't it better? Now we can continue extracting his blood and use him for other experiments."

In fact they already tried many other things in these last few years to take out the eyes.

Alchemists, Formations Masters, various people of different races with special abilities and physiques but to no avail.

After all these years, they finally found a risky method to take out the eyes.

They didn't want to kill this 'unique specimen' but their lord wanted the eyes so they had no other choice but to risk the boy's life.

They even sighed in relief after seeing him alive.

"Let's feed him first." This time a bald man said when the muscular guard arrived to take the boy away.

But the child didn't seem to hear it. His eyes were fixated on two glass bottles.

The two glass bottles where his blue color eyes were floating on water.

The guard picked him up and took him away to the previous room.

He was then served the food. Everyone left and he was now alone in the room.

Tears started dropping down from his eyes. For the first time since he arrived in this lab did he cry.

Even when they extracted blood from him he didn't whimper.

Even when they did experiments on his body he remained silent.

Even when they cut of his left hand's fingers for their own use he didn't say anything.

Even when they tortured and cut both of his legs he didn't cry.

But now he couldn't help it.

The eyes he was always proud of was gone. The things he could see were nowhere to be seen.

He wanted to cry out loud but he didn't. He silently sobbed in the room under the blanket while his aura which was previously lifeless became colder and colder.

Just like that a few days passed when

*BOOOOOOOOMMMMMM*

A loud sound could be heard from outside and the sound of alarm could be heard through the entire facility.
