Chapter 501 501 The Capital City

Khisam roared in anger: "Coward! If you are brave and honorable, show yourself to me and fight!"

Aldred grinned and laughed maniacally.

Corduul looked at Aldred and pulled back the mechanical legion a few hundred meters. He already knew what kind of a man Aldred was. A battle maniac, inelegant yet graceful, cruel yet kind, impulsive yet cautious.

What that meant was that Aldred knew when he can be impulsive, and of course he knew how when to be cautious. Aldred was a flexible person, adapting to circumstances and situation.

So even though Corduul understood him, he still did not know what his decision would be.

"Kill him," Aldred said.

"Are you not going to engage a battle with him?" Corduul asked.

"He's too weak."

Corduul was silent for a fraction of a second as he processed that reply. After saving it into his memory, he ordered the mechanical legion to attack at once.

Hundreds of large aircrafts rumbled. Their cannons lit up.

Khisam frowned and then he shouted. "COWARD!!!"

Suddenly, Aldred vanished, appearing right in front of Khisam and then beheaded him before reappeared in his original spot.

The aircrafts detected no life from Khisam so they hold their fire.

"He pissed me off," Aldred said.

"Why didn't you let us kill him for you?"

Smiling, Aldred replied: "I actually want to kill him myself, but he might set traps around him, so I act like I don't want to have a direct fight at all."

After saying that Aldred opened the notifications tab.

[You have killed a Diamond Rank. +9,250 EXP]

[You have killed a Diamond Rank. +8,240 EXP]

[You have killed a Diamond Rank. +9,281 EXP]

[You have killed a Diamond Rank. +10,210 EXP]

…

[You have level up]

[You have level up]

[You have level up]

[You have level up]

…

All kinds of notification popped up in front of him one after another.

In total, his attributes literally doubled. And he also got 280 stat points that he all dumped to dexterity.

"Now what should I do? Oh, I also got 280 skill points. Nice."

Aldred thought what skills should he upgrade. He got a few options: Sky Splitting Strike, Red Rain, Blood Absorbtion, Blood Clone or Advanced Golem Creation.

If he chose Sky Splitting, he could have an ultimate skill to fight against stronger enemies. This also applied to Red Rain though it consumed his blood essence to use.

Blood Clone was also a nice skill. If he could have more clones, he could defeat stronger opponents.

Aldred considered Advanced Golem Creation. With this skill, the strength of his golem would increase in folds, and he could even create more types of golems in the future.

If he used this, he could be just like Victor, sitting back in the shadows and let his massive army of golems conquering lands for him.

Aldred tapped his own forehead. "What am I thinking? I wanted to explore this world, not conquer it."

Grabbing some territory for himself should make his exploration easier. By having a territory, he could have more resources to be stronger.

Sure conquering nations were fun, but that should not be his focus.

With that in mind, Aldred crossed Advanced Golem Creation in his list. It was a useful skill, but he did not want to upgrade it now.

"That's it. I am upgrading Blood Clone."

[Blood Clone Lv.4 -> Blood Clone Lv. 5]

Now Aldred could create 5 clones at once. In total, there would be six of him fighting the enemy.

That would be crazy! Even one Aldred was a tough enemy to fight. Not to mention six!

Aldred smiled. With this kind of stats, even an enemies at far higher level than him would be nothing for him. And he also had this weird confidence that he could even kill an Adamantite Rank.

Of course that would require all the power at his disposal.

Aldred summoned his clones and one of them teleported to the battlefield.

Aldred yawned and a massage chair floated behind him. He softly fell on it and closed his eyes. "I want to take a nap. Talk to the clones about everything. Do not worry. They are me, I am them. Our consciousness are basically the same and so does our feeling."

"Yes, Master."

Corduul scanned the clones and was slightly terrified at what he saw. Every cell and even every atom making up of Aldred's existence was 100% identical.

It was not supposed to be possible. Every creature had something different about them. Even though there were billions of creatures, the world always manage to create them with some sort of mark that made them unique or different from each other.

One creature could never be the same with another. They might look the same, act the same, like the same thing, and even talk or behave the same way, but in molecular level, they were different.

The Mechanicum had run test on living beings for decades, so of course Corduul know a lot about biology.

This was not his first time encountering magic. He had seen and fought against clones before. Their appearance were the same with their master, but their strength were vastly different.

Aldred was another case. Each and every clone had the same strength as him.

Suddenly, the clones summoned their own massage chair and slept.

"…"

So there was only one clone that was not sleeping, and he was currently in the battlefield.

Aldred's clone hovered in the sky. The mechanical legion were still staying there, scanning for any sign of life.

Looking below, the landscape was littered with holes, and burnt marks. There were some flesh and blood, but there were no bodies.

They were destroyed during the battle.

The Mechanicum had a practice of absolutely destroying their enemy.

Aldred was proud to have such a devoted group under his command.

"Now, let's see if I can take the capital city."

Aldred waved his hand and all the gigantic aircrafts followed him flying through the clouds.

At full speed, they shattered the sound barrier and arrived at their destination in seconds.

Aldred frowned. "This is the capital?"

The city was surprisingly packed with people and all the buildings were nice too. Every families got a wonderful home and everything seemed affordable for them.

Public facilities such as school, transportation, parks, libraries, and many others were there as well.

Best

It was the perfect city!

Aldred had never seen something like this before because rarely there was a town leader that actually cared about the lives of their citizen.

"It would look bad if I siege this city."
