Six days later.
In the training room.
Zick looked at the huge humanoid golem before him. It was made of silver-colored tal and even had four thick hands. Its height was three ters.
It absolutely looked intimidating with its height and master-rank aura.
Zick slowly ward his body while circulating the aura around his body in a certain rhythm. Dark black matter danced around him. He was currently not wearing the eye patch, exposing his demonized eye.
Zick's body had beco the vessel that held his aura, this showed that he had broken through to master swordsman rank. And with the density of his aura, it was apparent that he had walked further into it, reaching mid-master rank.
With a tallic grunting sound, the four-arm golem before him activated. It readied its four arms to attack Zick at any mont.
Looking at this, Zick was unfazed, he didn't even bother unsheathing his sword.
The golem unleashed four punches at once aiming at Zick's weak points, Head, rib, solar plexus, and knee.
It's punching, creating a sonic boom heading toward Zick aggressively. Any one of these punches alone could easily destroy a palace within seconds.
When it was all concentrated on a single target, it beca all the more terrifying.
Breeze harshly hit Zick's face, the terrifying arm filled his vision but the tranquil look on his face didn't change.
The shining dark matter that floated around his body at that mont started entering Zick's body rapidly. At once, Zick's body shone in dim black light, which covered the whole body.
Zick simply stopped the hand aiming at his head with his palm, surprisingly, his palm was only pushed back by an inch.
When the other attack touched his body, Zick was sent flying three ters, but he stabilized that next mont. His internal was slightly shaken but nothing more, there was no damage in other words.
The four-arm golem intoned: "Switching to rapid punching mode."
Zick fixed his normal clothes and readied himself.
At once a barrage of punches ca at Zick instantly, the golem's speed was very quick, it reached before him in the blink of an eye.
This ti, Zick simply dodged its attack skillfully. The speed which was impossible to keep up for a normal master swordsman was fully visible to him. It was thanks to his demonic eye which gave him a very dynamic vision.
Only the afterimage of Zick and the arms could be seen.
Only a few seconds passed but the golem threw out tens of punches within that ti. Which was all dodged by Zick, his aura was really special, it gave him a boost in all aspects.
To master swordsn, usually, their aura primarily boosts a single aspect, while strengthening other parts of the body by a degree too.
But, Zick got a boost in all aspects, whether it was senses, reflexes, strength, agility, or flexibility. It even had extre destructive might, which satisfied Zick.
And of course, Zick had unlocked the second technique of the demonic pupil.
It was called the dark reality.
Zick readied to use it. Using this technique consus a large amount of aura. According to Zick's calculation, it consud thirty percent of his overall aura.
Hence, it could only be used twice at best, and can only be considered as a trump card.
Zick's pupils started turning golden, and his other normal eyes also turned into demonic eyes temporarily.
Black substance like water gnashed out from below Zick's feet, covering the whole training hall which was more than a hundred ters instantly.
In no ti, everything was covered in this weird black substance. Only Zick's golden pupil and the golem's red eyes shone in the darkness.
From the dark floor, a silhouette in the shape of a human rose and moved towards the golem rapidly. It moved almost like a shadow appearing before the golem and stood there like a statue.
The four-arm golem punched with all four arms at once toward the human-shaped thing before him, but it was stopped dead in its tracks.
The human-like dark substance stopped it easily by creating two arms from its back.
'Not bad.' Zick thought.
This golem of course had the strength of peak master rank, which made it clear that Zick could fight peak master rank easily.
And with the second technique of the demonic pupil, he could match even a quasi-grandmaster with no problem.
This technique wasn't limited to creating just one dark human, it could create hundreds of them. And it was possible to create different kinds of monsters.
Zick could just control the dark substance around the golem and destroy the golem directly too. But he had no intention of doing that, this golem was very precious after all.
The other aspect that he received a boost in would be the mage profession, he was currently a peak mage.
Making such a huge leap in strength, Zick felt a lot better than before. The tension and worries in his head lessened by a lot.
It was a human's characteristic to worry about things, Zick was not free from this concept.
Zick's mindset was a little free now, small matters couldn't make him worry anymore.
The dark substance returned to Zick and his one eye returned to normal.
Zick opened his mouth and spoke in a foreign language: "System interface."
At once many blue screens appeared around Zick, searching for the one with access to the teleportation coordination, he found it to be the screen on his left.
Zick quickly used the ssed up keyboard on it and activated a teleportation circle.
A magic circle appeared below Zick and Teleported him to the control room. It took a while for him to learn all this, but he got used to it soon.
.....
In the control room, Zick sat on the seat before the screens with the dragon egg on his lap. He had brought it here when he decided to seclude himself.
The platinum egg was very close to hatching, there were already cracks in its surface. It was going to hatch today itself and Zick was looking forward to it.
Zick looked at the screen before him, which showed the image of thousands of priests before the entrance of the secret lab.
Not only priests but there were also ten thousand knights, mages, and even alchemists.
With the influence of the churches, they were able to gather a terrifying amount of troops to raid this place.
The alchemists were the easiest to invite. This secret lab belonged to the old alchemy tower, so they had to co here to take a look.
'How nice of them to co here sacrificing themselves for .' Zick was very happy about them coming to him like this.
He needed a lot of humans to experint and sacrifice to make the biological golem after all.
Even if roughly counted, there were more than fifty thousand soldiers before the secret lab entrance. And many had master rank strength too.
Yuriel appeared beside Zick. He had continued brainwashing her this last week. He even slept with her sotis, spending quite a passionate ti.
Yuriel standing close to Zick with only a centiter distance between them, looked at the screen intently.
Zick stopped acting before Yuriel, he kept his usual deadpan look.
"It seems like they are planning to attack once it turns noon." Yuriel deduced looking at their movent.
"Yeah, and I am planning on capturing them alive as much as possible." Zick was not worried about his safety. He was currently in the silver wing research center's control room.
The lab being invaded by the churches was not the primary research center.
Zick's eyes moved to a certain person among the readying army: "They really sent in so interesting people. Hahaha"
Zick had stopped controlling his emotions too much like before. He felt that he would just break from within like that.
.....
Anastasia had a dazed look for a long ti now.
First, it was when she saw the portrait of the heretic presented by the church. Shockingly, it was Zick!
And now, the fact that she and Leona were being thrown into this battle of invading the secret lab.
Leona beside Anastasia had a pale face. She was sent as the representative of the Leitrester alchemy tower.
It was clear to her who pulled out such a trick on her, it was her brother who wanted her dead dearly. And her father must have ignored it too, he was not interested at all in Leona.
Rage, disgust, and indignance boiled within Leona making her body shake uncontrollably.
She had never tried to stand out even once, but still, Leona was thrown onto the battlefield like this. Her brother was thoroughly a cautionist.
Leona could only trust Anastasia now, even though she ordered Anastasia to run away, she stayed behind stubbornly, winning Leona's trust.
"I have an ominous feeling for so reason...."
"Yeah, too....." Anastasia also said with a gloomy look.
.....
Zick had a thoughtful look.
With their presence here, it was clear as day that God could not control everything as they wanted.
Or is the god sending them in as a spy?
'They must have known that I wouldn't kill them until absolutely necessary, so they might be using that to sche sothing.'
Should I just kill them?
Such thoughts appeared in Zick's head.
Being able to create the biological golem, Zick felt the value of these people fell imnsely.
'I should just go on a mass massacre plan as I thought, I might even be able to create tens of biological golems that way.'
Zick was just waiting for the creation of golems to be completed. After that, they would be the ones to enter a mass murdering spree.
'And as for the talented people, I will direct all their hatred towards the illusionary enemy, that is , while still being beside them to help.' Zick smiled thinking this.
'And along the way, I just have to strengthen myself with all the resources I can gather.'
He now just had to gather enough materials from the Everlor organization and mana crystal from the Lectic mountain region.
Zick had discarded the plan of spreading revelner disease after considering it for a while. Then instead, he ordered Levienel to invade another overload organization's main base.
She was invading today itself, Zick was waiting for the result now.
'I don't care anymore, let the whole world be engulfed in death.' Zick's expression was emotionless.
