Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn as a Vampire Dragon with a System Chapter 409

Day and night, they were working almost endlessly. Given barely four hours to sleep, the Amphibi captured as slaves in the factories only knew about working. They cleansed the enormous factory machines, sometimes they were forced to pull enormous strings, and too much energy accumulated, a machine would explode, overflowing the place with liquid energy called Cosmic Slime, which was highly corrosive for normal people, and there were always a lot of terrible casualties.

Day and night, they saw their own fellow friends, family, and allies die, their kin dying without end, but when one died, another just took their place, it was as if they had an endless supply of them, some learned that they were being brought from all around the planet, it seems that there was nobody that could escape the grasp of the invaders, who had come to their planet to grab anything they wanted and force them into all sorts of horrendous tortures.

They were forced to work like slaves, they were raped and humiliated, they were slaughtered like cattle, and then feed into their monsters and animals, they were nothing but disposable tools… and their value was not that of life, they were lower than the dogs that licked the boots of these people…

Without any hope for a better future, many of them ended taking their lives, desperate and without anybody with them, after having seen their family, their mothers, fathers, children, die horribly, they couldn't cope with life, and took their own lives. But those that didn't took their own lives continued working, brainwashed into thinking there was nothing better than this, and losing all hope, becoming automatic robots without a future, without hope.

Many of them slowly started to grow devoid of emotions, of feelings, of anything, their minds were blank, their hearts were empty, they became devoid of light and life. Those that still had a spark of courage were already gone, they killed themselves.

But the rest… the rest continued being slaves, mistreated, forced to starve to almost dead by only being feed some fish carcasses and ocean water with some seaweed at most, their living conditions were horrendous.

However, at this point, was there any other hope for these people? Could they really do anything else than suffer endlessly? There was not really anything else left that they could do other than despair. To suffer endlessly… but, they couldn't even suffer endlessly.

The depiction of hell was a place where a soul would suffer endlessly, but that was not possible, when a person suffered so much, there would be a breaking point where their bodies and minds would get used to the suffering and horror, and simply put, they would lose all their emotions, all their nature, and would become blank slates, their suffering simply didn't hurt, because they couldn't even feel anymore, and they had no other will than being forced to move towards the working place, accustomed to being treated like garbage from generations, even children were born thinking this way, like slaves, they served and suffered and that was life until they died miserably.

For all their lives, the only meaning there was… was that there was work to do and that they would go through pain, suffering, and then die. There was nothing else to life to these people, their eyes turned white, and their gills became dry, they had lost their lives before even dying.

Carrying enormous tanks with liquified world source energy, they walked across the corridors of the enormous factories, endlessly, from the morning to the night…

However, an anomaly happened. After having taken care of all the rebellious ones, the slaves became docile like dogs, if not even better than them, they didn't even barked nor bite back, they were like robots that obeyed their masters without question.

But one of them stopped marching, surprising the Blood Elf that was supervising them, as he looked at the young Saphibian girl that suddenly stopped carrying the heavy tank with liquified energy and looked into the window.

There was something strange, this day wasn't as gloomy as the others, there was sunlight. Everyday in this area of the world was always covered in clouds, there was neve any light, and this little girl was born with every day being like this, she never saw the light of the sun.

When she stopped moving, it was because the light of the sun was so stunning that her eyes hurt, but she continued looking dumbly, amazed by the light. Somehow, it felt so warm and encompassing. It was a feeling she had never felt before, a feeling that made her feel slightly… alive.

"Ah…" She muttered, stunned to even move, the guard quickly moved towards her, holding a whip to snap her out of her dazzle.

"Hurry! Why are you standing there watching the window?! You stupid garbage, move!" The Blood Elf roared angrily, treating this little girl as something comparable to garbage, he used his whip to hit her strongly, throwing her into the ground.

"Aaagh…!" The girl screamed in pain, the Amphibians moved forward, ignoring her.

Some gritted their teeth, they knew they couldn't do anything, and if they tried, they would only be reprimanded and punished just as roughly.

"Stand up and move! MOVE!" Roared the Blood Elf, a ruthless man from a slave race that served the vampires for generations, he could be one of those people that could relate the most with these slaves, but instead of relating with them he only saw them as beings even lesser than himself, beings that he could ridicule and feel good about mocking and torturing, while his bosses did the same to him, there were even lesser beings he could play around with and push all his resentment towards.

SLAP!

"Auugh!"

The girl that didn't even knew how to speak cried in agony, her little body was covered in blood all over, and she tried to crawl away, she attempted to stand up several times but the man had hit her legs so strongly that it was impossible, she was trying to stand up but she could not…

However, a sudden black dot appeared in the middle of the empty air, and from within, countless wriggling fleshy tentacles emerged…
