Chapter 156 The Wolf King, Thevel

There are some twists and turns but in the end, Zick was able to gain both 'will' veins and strengthen his bones.

A dim green glow was being released by his bones, and Zick's bone marrow was strengthened too so his blood recovery rate had risen by thrice.

'My bones themselves have become more than three times sturdier. This should give a huge boost in strength no doubt.' Zick got up and dusted off the brown sand from his hands and leg through magic.

Zick sat back on the table's chair and looked at the cat blankly for a second. If he didn't know better, he would have thought that the cat held bad intentions against him by withholding information.

Feeling Zick's gaze, the cat flicked its tail to the side: "What is it now, human?"

It doesn't seem like the cat realized anything.

"Nothing, tell me more about the potion I just took." Zick had no change in expression saying this.

While collecting the potions, Zick had just asked the cat to explain their usefulness and benefits. He wanted to know more about it as that would give him an incline as to why his heart didn't absorb it.

The cat started explaining leisurely while Zick concentrated on not missing anything. He understood the reason in the end.

The bone-strengthening potion's name was bone tempering potion. It is very beneficial to the bone but to other body parts, it is highly poisonous.

'This is the most probable reason my heart didn't absorb it.' Zick found the reason and relaxed.

There were hundreds of more potions in his space ring too. Along with many rare materials that he hadn't even heard of in his life.

Especially the gourd which was filled with some ancient monsters' blood. It seems like this monster was super rare in the past and also very useful.

'I have learned three ice spells from Levienel and one earth spell. I want to learn more but I am just a middle-rank mage. I can only learn a spell in an hour and I still haven't mastered them.'

Zick didn't like wasting time, seeing there was nothing else to do, he along with the other two headed toward Chertel city.

The cat was especially motivated after Zick said he would buy wine for it. Along the way, Zick even found Seveleen and Varine who were traveling in a carriage.

Before, Zick was not able to see anything while traveling with Levienel but now with his one eye turning into dragon eyes, it was possible to see things very clearly.

'They will reach the position I was in before tomorrow morning.' Zick predicted calmly.

This speed was faster than it usually takes but it was understandable as Seveleen and Varine didn't rest and rushed with everything they have. Even the horses were not given time to rest and were made to run continuously using stamina potions.

'They are kind of wasting my money but never mind.' Zick didn't care thinking about all the things he looted from the Garcia family's treasury.

They shortly arrived at Chertel city.

On Zick's order, Levienel made them invisible again.

A huge city covered by large and sturdy walls entered Zick's sight. The sun had fully set by now and it was turning darker.

There were signs of smoke rising from multiple places within the city but it looked natural to him.

'The situation was a hundred times worse one year later. Cities fell every day with people dying everywhere, there were countless dead bodies fallen on the ground like the most natural things.' Zick remembered the line from the Novel.

The two talented people Zick came from were living in this city as vagrants because of revelner disease. They lost their family in this pandemic.

So in many ways, Zick was being helped by this pandemic. He could make a name for himself and recruit talented people into his team of meatshield more efficiently.

First, Zick searched for a high-class bar to buy some good quality wine. He found one in a minute and landed right in front of the bar's door.

"Undo the invisible magic on me." Zick didn't care much about people seeing him as the street was empty, to begin with.

With a flash, Zick appeared before the bar's door. With no hesitation, he entered it along with the other two who were still invisible.

DING~

"Welcome, it's rare to see customers at this time of the day, please sit down." A middle-aged man with a slim body and wide shoulders spoke with a smile.

Zick directly walked in front of the bar owner and spoke: " Give me all the stock of the best wine you have."

Zick was very reserved now that he was in the city, he had to manage a good image.

The bar owner looked at the young man who had a hat with blue leather armor on him. Hearing Zick's need, he was surprised and doubtful. But he didn't let it show on his face.

"Please wait a second." The middle-aged man wasn't worried about not getting compensated by Zick.

This bar was directly under the baron rekert, which led to there being no one who messed with this bar.

The whole wuirsec region was actually under baron Rekert, it was a huge territory for just a baron but they weren't happy with it at all. Because of owning this barren region, there was the very minimum amount of land with livable conditions owned by this noble family.

And the most unfortunate thing for baron Rekert was that they had to fight off against the monsters of the Wuirsec region!

Thus, Zick knew that once he killed the military chief of this noble family – the baron rekert would be finished for sure.

'Well, it doesn't matter anymore.' Zick patiently waited for the bar's owner to return.

Soon, the bar owner came back with a low-grade ring and handed it over to Zick to check the product.

Seeing there were around 30 bottles of wine bottles, Zick nodded his head and looked at the bar owner.

"They are all 120 years old and made from high-quality materials like pezelt berries and grapes from haltrel trees." The bar owner spoke with pride visible on his face.

Zick wasn't much interested in this matter: "How much?"

The bar owner calmed down and stated: "300 platinum coins sir."

Zick exchanged with the bar owner through the space ring and got out of the bar swiftly.

"Hey, you there! Don't you know it's not allowed to roam at this time of the day? This is when infected people's corpses are being burned!" A young-looking soldier walked toward Zick with a suspicious expression.

The moment the guard was 20 steps away from Zick, he vanished in thin air. The guard was startled looking around, searching for Zick.

Taking a glance at the guard from the sky, Zick spoke to Levienel while handing the ring over to the cat.

"Let's move to the west of the city."

Getting the cat and Levienel, Zick's plan also had to change. He had not much to gain from the Everlor organization anymore!

Instead, he had the itch to attack the everlor organization's main bases and loot them clean!

'This needs further planning. One thing is for sure that I don't need to raise my rank in the organization anymore.' Zick laughed at his situation.

Before he had to wrack his brain to find a way to raise his rank in the organization and even get strong but now with Levienel and the cat, all these problems vanished.

'With my current strength, no one in the peak rank is my match.' Zick was clearly aware of his strength.

Zick and the other two arrived above the west of the city in no time. The whole west of the city was slum as per Zick's observation from the sky.

Zick started looking for the two people he came from, it was not a hard process. He just had to look at every last person carefully, with his dragon eyes he would be able to tell their potential.

Soon Zick's eyes contracted: "That's...."

Hearing Zick speak, Levienel and the cat who was drinking a bottle of wine looked at him.

Ignoring them, Zick's sole attention was on the person laying in one of the slum alleys.

The person was breathing raggedly as it supported its back on the wall. He looked to be only 15 years old but there was a fierce glint in his eyes filled with hatred.

There were two wolf ears protruding from his silver hair and his teeth were sharp. He was a wolfman! Which was very rare even in the eastern continent.

No one dared to go near this person from the amount of blood thirst he radiated.

There were two kids beside him looking to be unconscious too.

'The wolf king, Thevel....' Zick was almost sure of this guess by the wolf's appearance and potential.

Zick remembered the information from the novel.

The wolf king, Thevel, was a very important character in the novel. He was neither a villain nor a supporting character to the protagonist but in the final battle, he exposed his quasi-grandmaster rank strength to the world. This threw the world into a state of commotion.

'For him to be in this city right at the moment...what a coincidence....' Zick's eyes flickered in an uncertain light.

This coincidence didn't seem natural at all and according to the novel, there was still a year left before the wolf's tribe would be destroyed.

'Is this a butterfly effect caused by the early magic disaster?' Zick thought before ordering Levienel to let him down near to thevel.
