Chapter 183 Calculating The Loot And Seclusion

"Extract all the magical devices used for safety and Security measurement." Zick had no intention of leaving behind a single thing.

Zick left Veurin with the surviving alchemist and started walking to the lower floor of the alchemy tower.

"All the space rings you lent me have reached their maximum capacity, sir Zick," Yuriel spoke quietly from behind.

"Hmm, no problem, just take another batch and use the ones belonging to the alchemist." Zick had tons of space rings, he took back the old ones and gave the new ones to Yuriel.

Though most of it was acting, Zick still felt a lot better after letting his emotions run wild. His current calm mind was the best evidence for it.

'I didn't think it would be this effective. Most of my insults originated from third-class villains from Earth, so it wasn't that pleasant acting like that.'

The facade was put on for Veurin. If not, he would have just done the deed instead of speaking that much.

Looking at the content of the space rings, a sharp light flickered in Zick's eyes.

There were more than three thousand golems! Though they were not that strong, it was still very useful.

Around 13 golems were having master-rank strength. While the others were not much appealing in Zick's eyes.

Zick couldn't even count how many potions there were in the space ring, they reached the level of a million.

? And another surprising thing greeted Zick, there were seven elixir-level potions. And from it, two could strengthen his body and one could strengthen the 'will' in his mind.

'It wouldn't be a problem to become a Mid master swordsman now.' Zick felt this trip to be totally worth it with just these three potions.

Looking at Yuriel who was sending an order to the golems under her control, Zick remembered something: "Be sure to take the crystelion door in the underground facility." 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

Yuriel nodded her head before she hesitated and asked a question: "Was your behavior in front of the tower master the real you?"

Yuriel was just curious about Zick, she wanted to know more about him.

"No, I was just acting...90℅ of it." Zick was open to Yuriel.

Yuriel heard him and didn't ask any further questions.

Zick arrived at the 54th floor shortly, parting with Yuriel there.

Sitting on one of the benches in this research center-like place, Zick waited for Veurin.

A golem with the shape of a wolf ran past Zick, heading towards the other floor, executing whatever Yuriel ordered.

'From the amount of mana released by this wolf golem's core, it must have strength matching a high-rank knight.' Zick calculated before looking back into the space ring.

Many other things were left aside from the golems and potions.

Material, research results, inspiration from many alchemists, golem core, device core, blueprints of certain kinds of machine, which even made Zick squint.

'They were already able to conceptualize many machines similar to Earth's car, aeroplane, submarine, and many more. if given enough time, this world would have probably already surpassed Earth within a few decades.'

Having a fleeting thought, Zick went back to looking at the research details. His mind speed was already very fast, he felt that when he became an archmage, his mind would be no different than a computer.

'It might even reach the level of the supercomputer if Improved further.' Zick deduced with excitement. This kind of monstrous calculating capacity would give him immense benefits, both while fighting and scheming.

While going through the research file, time passed by quickly, and Zick sensed someone walking toward him.

Lifting his head, the sight of Veurin who had a smile on her face entered Zick's vision. There were visible signs of blood in her body.

Zick had left Veurin there as she had strength matching a middle-rank mage and the alchemist was thoroughly powerless.

"Done with your sweet revenge?" Zick asked in a bored tone, he had to keep up his facade.

"Hey, why do you think revenge feels so good?" Veurin asked, curious about the new emotion she felt.

"Why ask such a stupid question? Of course, it's cause you feel pleasure from taking revenge, letting all your hatred out on someone."

"It's the same as when I seek pleasure from other people's suffering," Zick answers with a still oh-so-bored voice.

Veurin remembered Zick's prior action of playing with the Alchemist: " Is it that fun?"

Zick took his gaze off the ring held in his palm and looked at Veurin: "Of course it's fun, making others suffer and enjoying their misfortune is the best."

"Being your senior I will guide you too if you want to. I will lead you on this path of becoming a trash!" Zick intently looked at Veurin.

'What a sadist person through and through...but I like it.' Veurin was interested and at the same time, a little flabbergasted hearing Zick proudly call himself trash.

"Pfft, haha, still why do you sound so bored?" Veurin asked while sitting beside Zick.

"Of course 'cause it's boring waiting here and doing nothing. I can only count the loot we got this time." Zick asked while again looking at the space ring.

"What about the other women besides you?"

"Readying to extract the safety and security devices."

".....You are planning on not leaving behind a thing, huh...."

Their conversation continued like that, Veurin was really surprised and admired how Zick was taking over the alchemy tower so nonchalantly, it was as if it was the most simple thing in the world.

After a few minutes, Yuriel returned to Zick at last. She first handed over the space rings to Zick. There were tons of more golems in it too.

Breathing out loudly, Zick spoke: "Let's get out of this shit hole, I feel sick waiting for such a long time. If I stayed here any further, I might just throw up!" Vulgar words left Zick's mouth.

Without saying a word, Yuriel cast the space and invisible magic on herself, Zick, and Veurin.

They disappeared at once and appeared at a little distance from the alchemy tower. Floating silently in the sky, all of their gazes moved towards the Jhesker alchemy tower.

"Start the firecrackers then, Let's see how wonderfully this tower would be lit." Zick laughed lightly with expectations.

Closing her eyes, Yuriel activated the apex-grade mana bombs placed around the alchemy tower.

BANG!! BANG!! BANG!!

BOOOOOM!!!

The explosion occurred around the alchemy tower magnificently. These explosions were huge, destroying whole floors instantly.

"Hahahaha." Zick laughed looking at the alchemy tower that was falling upon the innocent citizen below the ground.

"Run! Everyone run!"

"The Jhesker alchemy tower...tower exploded!! Run for your life!"

"No, my father was within the tower, move aside!"

The alchemy tower was of course closed off, saying there was a security breach. So no one could enter or go near it

A commotion broke out on the ground, many people pushed each other and started running with everything they had. Many people died being trampled by the others in this process.

But they were too late.

BOOOM!

The alchemy tower crashed into the ground taking thousands of lives at once.

Zick spoke in a condensing voice filled with coldness: "See that, the world is like this, here strength reigns supreme above everything. No matter what an ant does, it can never defeat a giant. These people are no different than Ants!" There were some real feelings in this speech that Zick gave to Veurin.

Veurin looked below with a flickering gaze, Zick's advice was ringing through her head.

....

Zick and the others returned to the secret lab. The hole that Levienel had made on the ground was already repaired.

"This is our base, a deserted research lab, you can look around if you want to," Zick said in a carefree voice.

Giving Veurin a room to stay in, Zick came to the control center.

With the help of the lab genie and Yuriel, Zick was able to organize all the things in the space rings.

Most of the material, golems, magical devices, golem cores, and mana crystals went to the lab genie. Zick immediately ordered Yuriel and The Genie to start producing master-rank golems, anything below that was unacceptable.

Five peak master rank golems were included in the list of production. Zick had carefully selected them.

Zick also prepared to create another biological golem along with it. The war was nearing, it was the best time to collect corpses from everywhere.

He even got many materials used to create the cure for revelner disease.

After finishing all the matters that needed to be done including visiting the darton palace, Zick came back to the secret lab. He had already informed everyone that he would be away for a week.

There was no problem with food as fruits and vegetables can be grown in the garden quickly, thanks to the mysterious green gem.

Zick had also taught Kerene how to create mana nerves and gave tons of high-quality corpses to Veurin to train.

Zick totally secluded himself in one of the rooms within the secret lab.

'I am going to directly break through to the master rank and check my strength by fighting the golem after that.' f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋noѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

Zick's eyes blazed with determination.

.....

"What?! the Jhesker alchemy tower was destroyed?!!" Leona screamed at the informant as if the sky was falling.

"Ye-yes mam! It has been ravaged to the ground by what we speculated to be many apex-grade mana bombs!" The informant spoke with difficulty.

Anastasia beside Leona also had a dazed look.

Just what kind of organization had the power and audacity to do such a thing?!

The informant continued speaking: "And we have found the signs of the Jhesker alchemy tower using Dark mage's and Necromancer's impure mana as a catalyst to create some golems."

A frown appeared on Leona's shocked face: "Human experiment...That might lead to finding the culprit too. Are the other Alchemy towers looking into it?"

"Yes mam, they have already dispatched their top alchemist and resources. This threat is just too much of an eyesore to them."

Leona looked at the sheet on the desk: 'I just hope they can catch them soon....'

Or does she really wants them to be apprehended?

Wouldn't it be better if they destroyed the alchemy tower Leona belonged to? That way....

Leona shook her head.
