Chapter 116: One finger (b) (1/2)

”Umm, since we are friends, can Elder Zachary show me how powerful you are?” Whittaker said indifferently.

Hearing his words, Elder Zachary crackled an indifferent smile but instantly concealed it, and his majestic aura soared.

”Oh well, since you are my student, I don't mind showing you what a B-rank peak expert can do.” He said while moving his hand and extending it to the skies on the right. He continued by pointing his forefinger at the peak of a mountain draped in snow, ”Do you see that mountain up there?”

”Yes, elder,” Whittaker followed the direction of his finger and nodded his head. ”Okay, continue to look at it!” The elder said.

At that moment, one of his hands underwent a surprising change, so shocking that even Whittaker was surprised and his attention focused on it. He has never seen anything like that before, after all, and he was extremely curious about it and excited at the same time for witnessing something new.

He was shocked to discover that Elder Zachary's five fingers extended into what seems like wires of liquid metal. And, these wires conjoined to form the opening of an inky, black cannon.

'Wow, is he a human being or a magic construct?' Whittaker thought, at the very moment, a system notification popped up in Whittaker's eye to clear his confusion.

In the past, technology wasn't a famous topic and barely anyone was interested in creating a magic construct; however, there was an evil genius–with low-potential as an awakened, only D-ranked–that invested all his time in creating magic constructs but as death neared him, he went mad. He sacrificed a lot of lives in the name of eternal life and science while trying to create a method through which a person can combine with the deadly machines. He was titled as an evil genius because of what he did, killing thousands of humans, animals, other races to just create a method.

Although he was killed before even succeeding part ways, his works and research papers allowed people of the modern era to create never before seen magic construct. Most of the peoples were only interested in creating the evil genius magic construct but Elder Zachary and some others were different.

Elder Zachary chooses to dive deeper into evil genius researches and created a successful method to combine technology with the human body, hence creating a profession unique solely to him; However, eternal life wasn't a possibility but he had succeeded in becoming far powerful than his destined rank.

Gentle winds bellowed in their surrounding, signifying the start of a calamity whereas the cherry trees' pinkish leaves trembled in awe and fear.
