The wind picked up Zick's elegant black hair, revealing his deep red eye and the patch on the other eye.

All kinds of architecture were sprawled on the ground, crumbling away by the erosion of time. Green moss was all over the crumbled pieces of architecture remaining.

There were many plants around the place.

There were also puddles of water in some places showing it had rained a while ago.

​ Levienel was the first to speak: "There are five people underground."

"Hmm? That so?" Zick didn't care much about these five people.

He looked at the middle of this ruin, where the last remaining of the old alchemist tower stood.

A worn-out tower that didn't even reach a three-story high building stood there. But It had a huge base, almost covering three hundred meters of area.

The above part of this tower was blown up and nothing was left in there.

A huge magic instrument to sense intruders was hidden in one of the fallen architecture. There were many such devices spread around this tower.

Levienel waved her hand lightly, casting unknown magic upon Zick and herself. This spell hid their existence from these devices perfectly.

They were basically nonexistent to it.

'The device to control the biological golem lab is my main aim this time. But I am not willing to let go of such an opportunity to get more benefits from this place.' Zick thought while moving towards the tower.

There was also the possibility of finding research that might help him, so Zick was fully willing to put some of his time into plundering this place.

Zick landed before the tower slowly, the entrance was wide open. The interior was all messed up which was visible to Zick even without entering.

With no change in expression, Zick walked into the tower.

A desolate atmosphere was present within the hall, there were many cracks all over the place.

The huge hall in front of Zick looked very empty, only a desk was present in a corner of this hall. Even this desk was on the verge of breaking.

There also remained many pieces of the things which existed here.

'There is a secret passage on the right side of the wall but that is not my goal.' Zick looked at the desk intently. He walked in front of it with no hesitation.

Levienel followed behind with a deadpan look as ever. She was like a puppet that did whatever Zick ordered. She was not interested in whatever he wanted either.

The thought that she could die once the demon lord died, put her mind in a sense of solace. It didn't matter what she had to do, as long as she could die, even killing every living being was not impossible.

CREAK~! CRACK!

Zick directly pulled out the knob of the drawer. Removing the leftover wood on the knob, Zick looked at it seriously.

A pattern was drawn on the back of the knob, it was in the shape of a 'Z' with its corner curved inwards. There was no mana in this knob and it looked exceedingly ordinary.

Zick threw the knob away after looking at the pattern once and memorizing it. He walked before the wall and started drawing the same pattern on the wall using the mana around him.

The process of creating it was similar to when creating a teleportation circle, Thus, Zick finished it in a few seconds.

The moment the pattern was drawn on the wall, a change occurred. Millions of letters started spreading from the 'Z' pattern and illuminated the whole room.

These letters of unknown origin traveled through the wall and started gathering in the middle of the floor rapidly. The whole process was mesmerizing, Even Zick marveled at the sight.

Zick admired not holding back: ' Even after many years, this tower's mechanism is working just fine, the person who made it must be a genius!'

After a second, in the middle of the floor, a mana circle appeared shining dazzlingly. Zick knew that it would vanish within a minute so he didn't waste time and entered it along with Levienel.

This teleportation circle was different from the normal one. It was not possible to modify it, using this magic circle only a single set place could be visited.

This method was of course derived from the . It was found when Aeiron and Leona, who was another harem member, explored it later to find some benefits.

'The other path has many devices to stop intruders and using this method is also the best option. This magic circle will directly take me to the room which contains the device to control the biological golem lab.' Zick's vision turned blue instantly.

The next time Zick opened his eyes, he found himself in a messy room, looking at it, Zick's brow furrowed.

'Someone came here before me?' Zick's eyes narrowed immediately. Killing intent rose like water flowing from a broken dam.

'Someone has without a doubt already explored this place. They must have taken the device along with them. But...such a thing never happened in the , damn....' Zick's mind raced at a rapid speed.

Instantly the reason behind this happening dawned upon him.

'It must be the 'gods'.' Zick had an annoyed face the moment he thought of this.

But instantly he calmed himself, Zick looked around the room more carefully. The drawer was opened and all the documents within it were already taken away.

But immediately, Zick's eye shone with joy. From the amount of dust accumulated at the places touched by these 'thieves', it was apparent that not even a day had passed.

Which meant that they were still in the underground lab facility.

Zick sighed in relief, deducing this far. He also confirmed one of his speculations.

'The gods can't affect the world to a large extent directly. Even their range of information about what is going on in the world is shallow.' Zick's eyes shone in understanding.

The god's appeared a lot more restricted than Zick thought.

'The only way they can influence and see the world is through the people they have blessed. This means, there might be someone with God's blessing among these five people.' thinking for a second, Zick shook his head.

It didn't necessarily mean that the blessed person should be with these five people. He or she could have influenced things while hiding after all.

"The thing I was looking for seems to have been taken by the five people you mentioned before, Miss Levienel." Zick smiled at Levienel.

It wasn't necessary to act before Levienel but Zick did it as a way to train himself and to take precautions of letting emotion influence his action.

"Can you take me to them?"

Levienel nodded her head almost immediately. A golden light covered both of them instantly as they zoomed off to the ceiling at once.

The protective magic and devices which tried to stop them couldn't even hold onto a second before they broke. They climbed up the floor like a rocket, they were unstoppable.

'Haha, She really likes to destroy her way through, doesn't she?' Zick chuckled internally.

Within 20 seconds they reached the same floor that the five alchemists were exploring.

The golden glow didn't vanish, instead, both of their figures dashed toward the five people's direction, not slowing down at all.

Traps appeared but they were destroyed like some toys. The mana-disturbing devices appeared but they did not affect Levienel.

Magic circles which appeared for ambushing were destroyed before they even activated.

The golem in the shape of a spider, snake, wolf, and human was also destroyed within seconds.

Zick and Levienel reached their target within half a minute.

....

The five people who were from the Leitrester alchemy tower had terrified looks on their faces. They could hear the sound of something breaking and the sound was nearing them.

Such an abnormal activity meant that something bad was going to happen. They knew that the underground research facility was unpredictable.

There was once an exploring group that was totally annihilated coming across something dangerous.

The four alchemy towers had agreed to explore the old alchemy tower in turns and right now, it was the Leitrester alchemy tower's chance. Which was located in the Leweisert kingdom.

Leona was the first one to understand what was happening.

Something was bulldozing its way toward them!

It was so absurd that her mouth was agape from shock.

We're the trap nonexistent to this thing?

How can it be so fast?

And why the hell is it heading towards them?!

Levienel wanted to scream but at that moment with a loud bam, the wall before them broke and two golden figures appeared.

The girl with blonde hair stood before Leona trying to protect her from this unknown enemy.

It was Anastasia! And her expression stiffened looking at the golden glow. She had her special eyes, so she knew that this enemy was on a different level altogether.

It was impossible to defeat them, Anastasia reached such a conclusion and was filled with despair.

"You! What do you think you're doing?! By moving so recklessly many of those precious research must have been damaged!" Leona screamed angrily.

The moment Leona understood the other party was human, she regained her calm and was instead enraged thinking about the research.

It was natural for Leona to think and move as such. There were not many people who could mess with the alchemy tower and especially no one would dare harm her. After all, she was the daughter of the Leitrester alchemy tower master.

Anastasia felt cold sweat forming on her back as she heard Leona.

She immediately had a pale visage as she looked forward.

The dust slowly dispersed and exposed Zick who looked at them with interest. His killing intent subsided as he thought about whether to kill this person or not.

'I will lose an important asset if I kill these two people so I can let them go for now. They will be useful to me in the future.' Zick considers quickly.

'But If they don't hand over the device I can only force them.' A sharp light passed by Zick's eye.

Zick smiled harmlessly: "Let's trade."
