"I'm not exactly sure about the details of the experiment, but there have been some successes. First, they can create creatures like Machine Zombies, with terrifying combat power."
"Secondly, they've managed to create a reactor to generate energy to sustain the Zombie's activity, but the amount of energy required for that Zombie to function is immense. That's why the research is currently at an impasse."
"The peculiar thing is, I've also heard some strange news."
Santoro suddenly looked around as if making sure no one was eavesdropping, his eyes darting to Raito, then back to Noan.
Noan nodded slightly, signaling Santoro not to worry.
Only then did Santoro continue: "I've heard that this experiment just started recently. Apparently, an S-rank lord accidentally obtained a design for creating a hybrid between zombies and Machine-type monsters, but the design isn't perfect, so much more research is needed."
