“And to award the winner of this test, we will give them one Zircos nugget each,” Professor Vyrr said.
Everyone was shocked by the prize that will be given to us.
Zircoses are used to increase a person’s max mana capacity and it catches a very high price in the market because it has a very low supply. Amaya’s family could simply buy it but since there is a limitation on how many Zircos you could purchase, the reward is still very beneficial even for royals.
In my case, the only time I got a hold of it was when Rista showed one of it to me. So in summary, I never used a single one of those Zircos to increase my mana. Though I don’t really know if I need this kind of thing. Rista also told me that my grandfather didn’t use any of those since he said that it will be more useful for others, especially those people who lack mana.
“I’m so lucky that I don’t have any friends, it leads me to become part of Princess Amaya’s team,” Renver said.
Never thought that someone would be this happy while saying he has no friends.
“Well, I made one so I think this is a turning point in my life,” Renver said.
Catastrophe Rank S, I’ll obliterate all of you. Zenith thought.
《Blink Strike》
Zenith blinks at a Goblin Overlord.
“I’ll kill the nuisance first,” Zenith said.
Zenith was able to s***h the neck of the Goblin Overlord. It pierce through but not that deep.
《Shock Chase》
A shockwave was created from Zenith’s sword that cut through the Goblin Overlord’s neck.
“Die,” Zenith said.
The other goblins swarmed Zenith but he was able to fend off all of their attacks.
《Circular Blast》
After the goblins are knocked back, Zenith runs straight to the other Goblin overlord.
《Snake Ascension》
Zenith s***h the big goblin from bottom to top, Zenith ended up in the air as he gave the last s***h of his skill.
“You’re still alive, right? Then,” Zenith said.
《Crucifixion》
The Goblin Overlord was knocked out after receiving the shockwave from the Crucifixion.
The Goblin Overlords jumps toward Zenith. Zenith was able to fly higher so he would not be hit by their batons.
“Thank you for putting yourself below me,” Zenith said.
《Sword Eruption》
Zenith’s sword directly hits Goblin Overlord’s head.
“Now, I will just kill the other Goblin Overlord then I’ll proceed killing the Goblin King,” Zenith said.
UGHA!
“That bastard, then I’ll kill you first!” Zenith said upon hearing the Goblin King’s roar.
Zenith runs toward the Goblin King ignoring the other goblins, some of the normal goblins attacks hit him while running.
Something’s wrong, I should not be doing this! Wait, this is a warcry! He casted a skill so I would only target him. Zenith thought.
Zenith attacked the Goblin King but it shielded the attack.
How long does his warcry last? I can’t control myself. Zenith thought.
The Goblin King was able to hit Zenith with his morning star - a weapon that is like a mace but the spiked ball is connected to the shaft with a chain.
It hits my side. It hurts, his power is overwhelming. If his skill is still affecting me, I might go down from another solid hit. Zenith thought.
The Goblin Overlord was able to catch up and attack Zenith’s back.
Will I be killed again? Zenith thought.
Before the baton hits Zenith, he regains his control and is able to dodge the Goblin Overlord’s attack.
“I still need to kill you first,” Zenith shouted, addressing what he said to the Goblin Overlord.
Because of my cooldown, my body won’t react even though I want to use some of my skills. I need to learn more skills while having a battle with these goblins. Zenith thought.
Zenith flies up in the air to escape being surrounded by the goblins.
I need to at least separate that Goblin overlord to the Goblin King. What is this feeling? Am I scared of getting killed again? Wait, if cooldown is my problem, then I should use the power of fear, right? Okay, then it’s decided, I’ll pick having a shorter cooldown than having my power amplified. They don’t have high regeneration anyway. Zenith thought.
Zenith’s aura changes from red to dark brown.
“Though I still need to make you guys separate,” Zenith said.
《Atomic Execution》
The shockwaves hit some of the normal goblins, the ground is also hit making a smoke of dust in the area.
《Blink Strike》
Zenith blinks to a normal goblin in a far distance.
《Sword Warcry》
“Since the Goblin King’s power is much greater than that of Goblin Overlord’s, I’m sure that it wouldn’t affect him and he wouldn’t see me through this dust. I just hope that the Goblin Overlord would be affected by this. And then, here he goes,” Zenith said.
I died. Again. Zenith thought.
“Zenith, why are you still there? Let’s have our breakfast already,” Aica said.
Zenith went to the dining table and sat on one of the chairs.
A man opens the door and joins them.
“Honey, did you manage to find them?” Aica asked.
“Yes, we were able to hunt the goblins,” Toya replied.
“Those goblins are spies,” Zenith said.
“What are you saying, Zenith?” Toya asked.
“A Catastrophe Rank S Threat is waiting for this village,” Zenith replied.
“What do you mean by that? And how did you know about that, Zenith?” Aica asked.
I need to lie. I can’t say that I came from the future. But this is for me to get the best result. I need my parent’s power, there are three Goblin Kings, I’ll never beat them by myself. Zenith thought.
“I saw them with my own eyes, the goblin’s army. With three Goblin Kings, four Goblin Overlords and many lower rank goblins, this village is doomed to fall,” Zenith said.
Toya faced down and put his hands over his head. He said, “Then it’s time, Aica, take care of our daughter and our son.”
“You’re saying it’s time for both of you to die?” Zenith said with a serious look in his eyes.
“Zenith, what silly thing are you saying? Your father is the best swordsman in the world, he’ll not be defeated by those kinds of monsters,” Aica said.
“Right! What are you saying, brother? Did you lose your mind or something?” Taiya said.
“My father, Toya Akitsko, was the best swordsman, but that’s not true right now. Right, father?” Zenith said.
Toya lifts up his head. He said, “Yeah, I may not be the best swordsman right now, but I can defeat them if there are really those monsters waiting to invade this village.”
“The truth is you can’t, even with the help of mom’s magic. You still wouldn’t defeat them, when you said it’s time, you already gave up the idea of winning,” Zenith said.
“Brother, I don’t understand why you’re saying that to father. We both know that he’s the best, right? The only reason that Dad is saying that he’s not the best swordsman right now is because he’s not out of the village to fight monsters,” Taiya said.
“That’s not the reason, the real reason is because Mom and Dad offered their power to seal the destructive power inside me,” Zenith said.
Toya and Aica were shocked.
“How did you know that, Zenith?” Toya asked.
“So you’re admitting that you’re fighting them to death, right? To open up the sanctuary for us to stay,” Zenith said.
“You also knew about that? Did the village chief tell you that? But that’s impossible,” Aica said.
“Mom, Dad? You’re intending to die in the battle?” Taiya asked.
Aica hugged Taiya.
“No, they will not die. I’ll not let that happen as long as I live,” Zenith said.
“Zenith, even if we knew about those goblins beforehand, we’re nowhere to go. They already decided to kill me and your mom. And a child like you wouldn’t do anything against them,” Toya said.
“Then, if my brother would want to join the battle, I’ll also join. I’m stronger than him!” Taiya said.
Zenith holds the knife on the table and lifts it up.
《Forward Blast》
A shockwave was emitted by the knife knocking over the empty chair and the glasses on the table.
“When did you learn to do that?” Toya asked.
“Father! I’m stronger than you right now. I’ll join the battle and we will team up together to kill all of those monsters. If you’re not contended by my explanation, then we can fight against each other. Or if you don’t want that, then look at the seal that you gave to me,” Zenith said.
“You’ve already unlocked forty percent of your power? How is that possible?” Aica said.
“What? He already did? Then, if that’s the case, you’re really stronger than my current state,” Toya said.
“So you’re accepting that I’ll join the battle?” Zenith asked.
“Aica, what do you think?” Toya asked.
“He’s really earnest about it, he’s like you when you’re just started being a hero. That means that we can’t change his mind, right?” Aica said.
“Then, fine, but don’t hold back even if me or your mom is in danger, I’m the one who will protect all of you even if you're stronger than me right now,” Toya said.
“Really? Then let’s plan how to beat them already,” Zenith said.
“What’s with this sudden change, if you’re the old Zenith you would rush towards the enemy saying you could defeat them on your own,” Aica said.
Guess I didn’t change at all. Zenith thought.
Toya talks to the village chief to gather all of the elders and the villagers that could join the battle.
They all gather in a meeting room with Zenith in front of all the villagers.
"Why is Toya's son in this meeting," one of the villagers said.
"Right, is this meeting not that serious," Zenith said.
Zenith slammed the table in front of them.
"Silence!" Zenith said.
The villagers laugh.
