Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel-Chapter 177 Breakthrough To High-Rank Mage

Time quietly passed by with Zick concentrating on harmonizing his 'will' into the mana. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

After the creation of 'will' veins in his head, the process of interacting with the mana around him became easier. The difficulty had almost been halved in half, with such an advantage, Zick could feel that he would become a high-rank mage within tomorrow afternoon.

'Then, I will start moving after officially turning into a high-rank mage. My mind would be strengthened too so deducing and contemplating would be easier than before.' Zick calmly calculated with a closed eye. 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

While on the other hand, Yuriel looked at Zick with a blank look. She had already calculated all his assets and wrote them down on a sheet of paper.

As Zick had deduced a while ago, Yuriel was born with emotions just like any sentient being.

Looking at Zick, Yuriel felt a sense of devotion rising deep within her. This feeling was foreign to her, but she knew what it meant.

She wanted to protect Zick, the reason behind this was unknown but all Yuriel knew was that — She needed to protect Zick!

And follow all Zick's orders faithfully!

The red gem's effect was clear from Yuriel's current mindset. She was extremely loyal to Zick from the start.

Zick opened his left eye and looked at Yuriel who stared at him unblinkingly. She was sitting on the couch, analyzing the thing Zick asked a while ago and thinking of him with devotion in her heart.

"You can relax in front of me, you know?" Zick spoke with an equally deadpan look as Yuriel.

Yuriel's focus gathered upon Zick hearing him speak.

Zick continued speaking: "You are acting like a normal golem so that I won't hesitate to command you with no hesitation, yeah? I appreciate it, but there is no need for it. I will not hesitate to order you if the need be."

Zick knew all about Yuriel's personality, so he went into an offensive mode instantly.

'Keeping a good relationship with your subordinate is important after all. Even if by any chance Yuriel was able to break free from the chains that are binding her mind, she would not kill me in the future.'

Zick had become so cautious that it had reached a very high level. Being ready for anything can be very helpful to him.

Yuriel's started speaking with a little hesitation: "....Sir Zick, What do you mean by relaxing?"

Now that Yuriel asked such a question that went against her prior robotic attitude, there was no turning back. It seems like Zick had seen through her so she could only speak in a normal way.

"I am telling you to be a little more free, you don't have to act like a machine the whole time. Do what you feel like doing." Zick said before closing his eyes.

Silence descended upon the room once again. But after a few seconds, the sound of Yuriel moving could be heard.

Yuriel had been interested in what the egg on the bed was for a while, so she moved toward it like a kid who was filled with curiosity.

Zick warned lightly from the side: "Don't damage it in any way."

"Yes, sir Zick and....thank you." Yuriel's voice wasn't cold anymore.

"No problem, you can ask me if you want anything," Zick spoke calmly.

Yuriel nodded her head and continued scanning the dragon egg.

'With this, our relationship had deepened by a level. Well, mostly it's thanks to her current mindset, where she is loyal to me.' Zick considered at normal speed.

The red gem only affected Yuriel to feel loyal to Zick and nothing more. Her mind was still free mostly, he could gain her trust, respect, even her love, and many other things by himself.

Time quickly passed by with Zick only exiting the room once to eat dinner. Though there was no need for it, he wanted to get close to others so he went on acting like a kind person again.

Zick would randomly open the book he got to learn the Silver wing system's language too.

In the morning the other day, Sweat formed on Zick's forehead, and his brow was tightly furrowed as he concentrated with closed eyes.

At this moment, Zick's 'will' was interacting with the surrounding mana at a rapid pace. His whole concentration was on the external world right now.

Slowly the 'will' in Zick's head condensed by a level. This process went on for a few minutes before stopping.

Zick breathed out sharply, relaxing at once. He concentrated with everything he had at the last moment to speed up the process of a breakthrough so he felt quite exhausted mentally.

Zick slightly clenched his fist: 'Now I am officially a high-rank mage. I can cast body-enhancing magic now. I can learn more new magic spells from Levienel later on.'

Zick's potential in the mage profession had increased after eating the eye of the dragon so this breakthrough was not that surprising of a matter.

Yutiel from the side spoke with a not-so-cold look, she instead just had a calm face right now.

"Congratulations on becoming a high-rank mage, Sir Zick."

Zick accepted the congratulation with a nod of his head: "Thank you. Let's get going then."

Zick had already spoken of his plan for what he was going to do.

"Yes," Yuriel answered loyally.

Levienel had also already departed a long time ago, staying in a single place was not possible for her after all. She was currently trying to search for the other dragon egg.

Bad news had been delivered to Zick. The golden dragon egg was nowhere to be found. Levienel had even traveled extremely close to the annihilation fog but still not found it.

This could only mean one thing, the gold dragon egg had been teleported to the other side of the annihilation fog, Zick didn't know what to do.

In the novel, a dragon bragged that he could cross the annihilation fog after flying higher into the sky, but Zick found out it was just boasting after getting to know more about the fog.

'Sigh! This is really a piece of bad news....but fortunately, the golden egg doesn't seem like going to hatch anytime soon. For some reason it has not grown much from before, is there something suppressing its growth?' Zick could only put aside this matter as he didn't have enough information.

First, Zick greeted the cat who was in the hall on the ground floor and handed over a bottle of wine to it.

"Human, you are the best. As I thought, It was the right decision to follow you!" The cat started drinking the bottle of wine hastily.

Zick turned to Varine next: "Congratulations on becoming a Low-rank assassin." He had a small smile on his face while saying this.

With a thoughtful look, Zick took out something from his space ring: "As a gift, you can take this, be sure to try your best from now."

Zick handed a beutiful dagger that had an intriguing drawing on it. Strong mana was being released from it right at the moment.

It was a park-grade weapon!

Holding the dagger with a blank look, Varine snapped out of her stupor.

"Thank you very much, Sir Zick." Varine wanted to say more, but she didn't know what to say.

"It's no big deal. It was useless to me anyway."

Zick ordered the cat to continue training Varine as he started moving toward the teleportation circle in the hall.

Levienel had already paved the way for Zick to move towards the Jhesker alchemist tower. He had something that he needed to do there personally.

And of course, Levienel had already collected a potion that can be used to increase potential from an alchemy tower.

Zick had put it in his space ring, for now, he didn't want to rush things and harm himself. He had also given the potion to Yuriel to check if there was any adverse effect in it.

And the result proved it to be harmless to the body.

'I will breakthrough to the master rank after this trip I guess.' Zick was looking forward to it.

For now, Zick just let both his body and mind relax by not training in anything.

For some unknown reason, Aeiron didn't show any sign of waking up at all. From what Yuriel analyzed, he was in a state similar to a coma.

And the worst thing was that there was no way to bring him out of it. Hence, Aeiron had long since thrown out of Zick's head.

He even decided that if Aeiron doesn't wake up in a week, he would just turn him into a demonic sword. With the sun god's blessing, something interesting would happen without a doubt.

Soon, the teleportation circle that Zick and Yuriel were standing on activated.

....

The sky was fully clear with no sign of clouds visible. It was just blue as far as the eye could see, it gave out a sense of beauty of its own.

Looking at this sky from the peak of the mountain, Heirser, a priest, had a sense of realization after reading the message in his communication book which was sent by the bishop himself.

"So that's it, that explains everything. The Heretic named Hevish was hiding in such a place." A devoted look appeared on Heirser's face.

Just a while ago, Another God's revelation was made, this time the location of the secret lab was exposed.

It seems like the god had made another move against Zick.
