Two weeks after the start of the invasion of golems.

Zick stayed in the royal palace of the Hevertec kingdom as an honorable guest. By his request, a personal room filled with alchemy instruments was granted by the king.

In there, Zick posed to make the cure, while providing thousands of cure vials at a set amount of time.

The fact that Zick was a master swordsman could not be hidden. Therefore, many people were surprised to find out that he had talent and skills in alchemy too.

Zick sat on the couch, training to strengthen his aura. Currently, two golems were working in the room on a concoction of an elixir-grade potion.

This elixir-grade potion did not focus on strengthening the body, instead, it recovered the used-up aura.

Feeling someone heading towards the room from a distance, Zick opened his eyes.

'It's the second prince...What does he want now?' Zick put the golem into the space ring and changed the instruments.

Zick had a very vast storage of the cure, reaching millions, thus there was no need to make more. He even donated much of it to the Gorthect empire.

KNOCK-KNOCK~

The second prince, Jeisen, knocked on the door softly.

Zick opened the door, allowing the nation's prince to enter into his room.

'Sorry for disturbing you like this, mister Zick hahaha.' Jeisen talked friendly while sitting beside Zick on the couch.

Zick had improved his relationship with almost all the royal family members, even they themselves held huge amounts of goodwill towards Zick, accepting his advances readily.

'It's no big deal, mister Jeisen. You can come and seek my assistance any time needed.' Zick smiled at Jeisen.

'I would really like to offer a worthy reward for your deed, alas it seems like there is nothing in particular that you like.' Jeisen smiled wryly.

At that time, another knock rang out.

'Excuse me.' Zick opened the door again. He knew the identity of the person who knocked, the two faced-princess and the first prince, also the next kind.

The first prince, Gurege was supposed to ascend to the throne, but because of the Revelner disease, it was put aside. And even now, with the current situation still heading toward stability, his enthronement was delayed.

Overall, the relationship between the heirs was quite good now. Unlike before when they were after each other's throat for the throne.

'Sorry for intruding, mister Zick.' The princess, Serina, and Gurege entered the room.

All the heirs had blue hair and complimenting blue eyes, there was a green hue in their eyes, which was proof of their royal blood.

'Ah, brother, so you came too. But are you sure about putting aside your time like this?' Jeisen said with deep meaning.

Gurege dismissively waved his hand: 'I have already done everything a ruler should do. I don't have to go out of my way to give a good impression.'

Jeisen's brow rose hearing this: 'You have changed from before, haven't you brother?' There was bitterness in his voice.

They both had near-death experiences, making their attitude change in certain ways.

Everyone sat on the couches, Serina was in a good mood after seeing her world which was breaking apart, return to normal.

Gurege and the relation of the other with Zick were very close, he was their lifesaver after all.

Gurege spoke first: 'We have come here to invite mister Zick to the celebration event we're having in three days.'

'Ohh, an event I see. Hmm, I am not good with such things so I think I will....'

'Don't say that now! You are the main focus of this party, you will come no matter what!' Serina declared strictly. She too had changed, but she still looked down on commoners just like in the novel.

Jeisen and Gurege nodded their heads too. It was disrespectful to force others, but these people knew Zick's modest and reserved personality so they could only do this.

Gurege laughed internally: 'If I was the same as in the past, I would have become furious seeing someone reject my offer....'

But there were no such emotions in him recently.

'Um...I can't reject it if you put it like that.' Zick smiled bitterly, accepting to attend the party.

With their task completed, they started chatting ignoring their standings.

'Still, Mister Zick, you should not lock yourself in a room the whole time like this.' Jeisen worriedly looked at Zick.

'No. Truthfully, I would have liked to go and treat the other people, but I think creating the cure comes first and is more efficient. As long as others are saved, I think It doesn't matter.' Zick seriously said with a thoughtful look.

This self-sacrificing personality was what impressed the three heirs the most. Neither did he ask anything in return, nor was he expecting any.

But in truth, behind the smiles of all the three heirs right now was extreme anger.

It was because of the revelation declared by the churches.

Zick was the heretic? What bullshit are they spouting?!

The royalty never liked the church and now they even declared something like this and have the face to order them to hand over Zick.

They were all writhing with anger and humiliation.

What the hell do those priests think they are? Are we their dogs?!

They ask to hand over Zick and we will do it?!

Such thoughts passed through their heads.

Was it the church, the God they believed who saved them? No, it was Zick!

In the first place, the church did not even state the reason Zick was a heretic. Thus, the royalties did not even need to be considered.

As for Zick being the one who controlled the golems? They thought it to be total bullshit. There was already a person who declared himself as the one who is controlling them.

Serina and others exchanged gazes, feeling the determination in their eyes of each other.

'Actually, the Hevertec kingdom does not have an alchemy tower and there are very few alchemists here. We are very thankful for your help, I and everyone from the royal family are eternally grateful for your assistance!' Gurege said and bowed his head. The other two also bowed to Zick.

'What are you saying? I just did what was supposed to be done. And aren't we friends? Friends are supposed to help each other.' Zick helped Them lift their head while saying such words with a smile.

Friends, that word involuntarily brought a smile to the face of these people.

The evening Sun Rays reach the room through the window. Fresh air carrying the fragrances of an unknown tree reaches Zick and the others.

Zick rejoiced internally: 'If their personality was the same as in the novel, I would have had to put in some hard work, but the current them are easy to sway and control.'

Originally, the royal family was not supposed to be infected by Revelner disease so quickly, but because of Zick's interference, the future changed to a large degree.

Zick spoke as if remembering something: 'Right, I actually had some acquaintances who wanted to meet me, can you let them in?' Zick was talking about Seveleen and Varine.

'Haha, if they are your acquaintance they can stay as long as they want!' Jeisen said with no hesitation.

'Yes, they can attend the celebration event too.' Gurege also gave his permission.

After chatting for a long time, they began excusing themselves. As royalty, they had many works to do.

Left alone in his room, Zick gazed at the ceiling.

'The Gorthect empire will send an invitation soon too. The church's influence runs deeper in there after all.'

'Even though it seems unlikely, they will try to see if I am suspicious in any way. There, I won't have any kind of influence, thus it would be quite a peculiar situation.'

'Well, I can escape in case things go awry.' Zick always put his safety foremost, this one thing never changes no matter what.

The evening's gentle breeze brushed past Zick, causing his hair to flutter. His gaze went to his palm, The extremely pale palm reflected in his pupil for a while before he closed his eyes.

'Some demons were captured by the golems from the north for experimentation, but it will still take a while for Yuriel to create a device that perfectly replicates the dark mana of the demonic race.' Zick knew that hurrying the matter of killing a dragon would be dangerous, thus he prepared thoroughly.

Zick's focus moved to the party next.

'Another harem member would be attending it, but do I really need to recruit her personally?' Zick calmly considered the situation.

The daughter of Duke Aresenil, Elina. She had immense potential in sportsmanship, enough to be content with Aeiron without the sun god's blessing.

She was also the person Aeirom came in contact with just after the magic disaster.

Honestly, Zick thought she would be useful. Though this time, there was no need for him to interfere.

Elina would help him as he is the savior of her father, Zick just had to ask her help when the war with the demonic race begins.

'I am lucky that I don't have to go out of my way and make her join.' Zick was not willing in the slightest to babysit when not needed.

'Hmm, Around a thousand master rank and three quasi-grandmaster rank golems have also been created. I can probably be content with the normal army and some demonic generals with all my golems.'

Almost all the generals of the demon's army were grandmaster-level entities. There were 15 of them in total, and among them, 9 were immortal in a way.

These nine generals could be revived by the demon lord again and again. Thus, a decisive battle like the end of the war in the novel was needed. All of them, along with the demon lord, had to die to fully exterminate the demonic race.

Zick continued training in his aura after thinking this far.
