Chapter 199 Whale Tribe
After a few minutes, the frenzied energy was fully absorbed by Zick\'s body. A refreshing feeling circulated within his body, making him intoxicated.
Though his body didn\'t particularly receive any boost in strength, Zick\'s potential had doubled!
It was already at the grandmaster level, and with this boost — it became inestimable.
\'Unexpectedly, I gained two abilities...\' Getting up, Zick tried concentrating on himself.
A red light fluctuated from his body. Instantly, the red flower near him turned into red particles and entered his body.
An ability to absorb others\' blood to recover or boost one\'s stamina and regenerative speed.
\'What a harvest...\' Though it could not strengthen him, having such a trump card was very useful.
Zick opened his eyes and turned to Yuriel: "Cut my left hand and keep an elixir ready just in case."
Zick wanted to check the capability of the regenerative ability.
Yuriel had the urge to decline Zick\'s order for the first time, but she couldn\'t. She had to follow through once Zick gave the orders.
"Please prepare yourself." Yuriel lifted her hand with a blank look, aiming toward Zick\'s hand.
Zick nodded his head firmly. At that moment, an ethereal purple wave passed by his arm, right below the shoulder.
SPLURT!
"Ugh...." Zick grunted as the intense pain assaulted him. Sweat formed on his forehead as his breathing became ragged.
Blood fell from his detached hand speedily, but slowly the bleeding stopped.
Zick clenched his jaw tightly as a warm feeling slowly overtook his left hand. With a red glow, his left hand grew back in a flash.
\'What the....\' Zick was shocked by the speed too. He was speculating that it might take a minute, but it was over in a matter of a few seconds!
This level of vitality went past the limit and reached the level of immortality.
Soon after the shock, joy rose at an extremely fast speed within Zick. Now, even if his head was cut off — there was nothing to worry about!
Such an unprecedented thing made Zick smile with contentment.
Yuriel\'s eyes flashed with surprise looking at such a sight. If not for the remnant energy left by her attack, Zick\'s hand would have completely regenerated the very first second.
Yuriel used a weaker attack thus its remnant was easily erased by Zick\'s aura.
Zick eyes involuntarily went to the coffin: \'What was the origin of such a treasure? It is interesting.\'
At that moment, a message from the golem he left behind in the Hevertec kingdom came. Varine seems to have come looking for him, their seating at the celebration event was different thus she had not gotten many opportunities to speak with Zick.
"Let\'s move to the next location as planned," Zick instructed Yuriel while taking out a curved device, and putting it on his left ear.
Zick\'s left eye, which appeared to have become even redder than before — turned blank. Instantly half of his vision changed, showing the sight of his room in the royal palace.
On the other side, using the demonic eye, Zick could see Yuriel who was walking with him to the exit of the cave.
Successfully connecting to the golem, Zick began controlling it to greet Varine, who came to talk. The cat noticed that the person before it was a golem but stayed quiet, receiving a mental message from Zick.
This golem looking like Zick had master tank strength, It could of course use such simple magic.
Usually, it would be hard to control two bodies at once. However, with Zick\'s prior experience and enhanced mind — there was no problem.
CLACK~
Coming out of the cave, what appeared before was a huge fortress, extending almost to the horizon.
Zick activated the bracelet on his wrist, which instantaneously caused a blue ray to land upon both him and Yuriel. Their figure vanished into the bright light as if being absorbed into it.
What greeted Zick when he opened his eyes was a luxurious room, with many screens on the foremost wall. There were dozens of couches and artistic flower pots too.
Sitting on one of the couches, Zick started training in aura with no hesitation.
Yuriel began controlling the fortress, moving towards their next destination — the southern seas.
.....
A while before Zick absorbed the blood fiend.
Deep within the water, where even the light does not reach.
A small dazzling light could be seen, it appeared as doth in the darkness. Diving deeper, a sight no one expected appeared.
An underwater city, that too at a huge scale. A huge array, which was similar to weird runes that Levienel made, protected the whole city.
Most of this city was made of rare sand material looking as if white limestone. Many blue spheres shone in the surrounding area, and people with blue hair, similar to the ocean, could be seen in the area.
They were all members of the whale tribe.
Right at the moment, at the highest point of this city, where the king of the tribe lived — A small commotion occurred.
A golem with an appearance of a beutiful man, having features similar to Zick, broke through their array like some paper shield!
It was the second Biological golem, which was made only a while ago. This time a man was born, it was totally random which gender golem would be born.
The reason this golem, Unit one, came here was very simple. To deliver a message from Zick.
The trained soldier who could easily defeat even master-rank foes actually did not stand a chance against the mysterious enemy that appeared. This was more than enough reason for the ruler of that place to be surprised.
"Move aside." A man adorned in the dazzling platinum crown on his head appeared. He had a strong build and did not look intimidated in front of Unit one, a foe stronger than him.
The king, Selerc, could only come personally after seeing the situation worsen. He had no intention to wage wars or pick fights, but he wasn\'t the kind of person who took passive beating silently. He was a grandmaster rank existence himself.
Selerc was going to enter his berserk state the moment Unit one was found, but seeing that his soldier was unharmed his body froze. He wasn\'t stupid enough to not understand the meaning behind this, The enemy had not come to kill them!
With a burst of light, two more figures appeared beside Selerc, it was his son and daughter. They both also had the appearance of exceedingly beutiful men and women.
Silence descended upon the area for a second, Unit one was the one to move first.
"I have come to deliver a message from master." Unit one passed a round object to Selerc, which slowly floated to them.
"Now then, I will be taking my leave." Unit emotionlessly started preparing to leave.
"Wait!..." Selerc\'s daughter, Airell, moved forward with a furious look but was stopped by Selerc\'s raised hand.
"Father...." Seeing her father firmly shaking his head, Airell moved to the back.
Reading the message stored within the round device, suddenly veins could be seen burst on Selerc\'s face. The round device was broken to pieces in his grip.
His son calmly asked: "What kind of message did that device hold, father?" Seeing his father\'s reaction, he knew that it was nothing good.
"....Come to the shore in the southern border at midnight, if not, the whale tribe would be destroyed. You can come alone or bring anyone you want....." Selerc spoke of the letter line by line.
The amount of arrogance in the letter even made the two the heir speechless.
The whale tribe was famous even among the human ruling forces. Though the extent of their strength was unknown, they were still deemed as dangerous from just what they showed thus far.
However, all three of them could not refute that this enemy might be able to destroy their tribe. Just Unit one was more than enough for the job.
"We have attracted quite an annoying existence this time. Sigh...." Selerc heaved a sigh before ordering his most elite group to gather hastily.
"Father, I will go too!"
"Me too!"
Both of the heirs vigorously said.
Thinking for a second, Selerc nodded his head. They both had peak master rank strength after all and we\'re smart enough to not do anything stupid if told beforehand.
.....
The fortress moved through the sky, reaching its destination.
Before it was a huge unending sea. At night, only the rays of the red sun illuminated the water, giving it a reddish hue.
Within a few minutes, suddenly the wailing of the whales could be heard. It spread to the air, covering the whole area.
The sight of multiple whales rapidly swimming toward the shore had an intimidating feeling.
Looking at this through the screen silently for a second, Zick got off the couch.
At the same time, The whale who arrived at the shore slowly reverted to human form with a flash. Many of them were fearful or gloomy looking at the huge fortress flowing in the sky.
As the fortress had flown down a little, its end was not even visible to them.
With a flash of bright light, Unit one, Zick, and Yuriel appeared before them.
Zick wore a black demon-like mask with a black coat, fully looking the part of a shady person.
Seeing Zick standing at the front, Selerc knew that he was the leader. But...
\'He is weak.....\' More than Zick, Yuriel beside him gave a more frightening feeling to Selerc.
Zick extended his right hand at that moment: "The reason I called you here is very simple."
Selerc eyes shone brightly, no greeting or any kind of apology. He was clear about the reason he was called like this.
"I want you to work for me." Zick\'s emotionless voice reached them.
