Brent pov (Guild master}
I thought I am going to die in that moment and all my achievements will go to waste, but the old man rescued me and the remaining soldiers amounting to 15 from the five thousand that we have.
I stood up and search for Leo, I sighed for relief when I saw him in a distance shocked and just staring at the sky. I walk up to him and pat him on his shoulder.
“Leo, are you okay,?” I shook him a little.
“m—aster,? Hwwahhhhh……….. I thought were going to die in that moment but- wait who saved us?” Leo asked me.
“I still don’t know the whole situation right now; I will ask the old man if he knows something. Go and assist the remaining soldiers because they were still shocked like you earlier”.
I searched for the old man and found him squatting on the ground with a broken item on his hand.
“Hey, are you alright?”. I help him to stand up because he still weak and unable to stand up on his own.
I notice also that he aged more than 10 years after that incident. I help him seated on an elevated ground nearby.
“hey, are you alright? Hey.......hey.....!" I shook him multiples times before his wits come back.
He lost words after he saw the broken pieces he's holding tightly.
“What is that? Is that really important?" I asked him.
“you ignorant bastard, it’s the item that saved us all from that monster" he yelled loudly and look at me as if I was a fool.
“It’s a world-class item, that teleports its user to a certain area. And now it’s broken, what am I going to do?" He cried after the realization hits him
" wh--- at? That is a world class item?? I asked him.
“Then why it is broken?"? I ask him this time.
" when we're about to hit by that fireball I use this item to teleport us somewhere but it was damage because the fireball hits the item instead. And it is one of the 4 world class items that feloria possess." He exclaimed
I could not believe what he just said. I never knew that the item was important and never in my life even seen one because most of them are so rare to get that's why each kingdom fights for it.
My knees got weak after I heard it, but thanks to it were safe for the meantime, but we should go on now because we never knew they might be following us now.
" I think we should go right now, they might appear any seconds right now." I assisted the old man and started to talk with the others.
We're almost near to the feloria when we transported, thanks to the world class item now we won't travel far for too long to reach the capital.
im still thinking about the world class item. It is a piece of gold wristband that's why I never paid attention to it before when it was worn by the old man. But thinking to it right now, I was stupefied and mad at the same time.
I never knew that there was a stronger existence out there, even with my skills and capabilities combined with the old man power. It is still not enough to defeat that monster.
I felt a chill when I remember how destructive his power is, maybe it was their leader, but I never heard that the tower was there in the first place. That is a mystery that I need to uncover but before that, we need to report all of this to the king.
I gather everyone and we started to walk back to feloria, we need to get help from the 7 heroes if we want to defeat that kind of person.

Zeberu pov
“Master, the ingredients has arrived". Kurem told me.
“I’ll be heading to the laboratory right after I'm done with the paperwork," I told kurem who just arrived after he collects the necessary ingredients for my experiment.
After the last paper got signed, I rushed back to the laboratory to finally finish my long experiment.
It is an experiment to create artificial intelligent pets, unlike any other monster pets; the one I'm creating is more powerful, destructive and most vicious creature.
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
In order to do this, I need to collect about ten thousand hearts to fuel its power and to maintain its stability. But doing this in secret is so hard especially this kind of experiment was never mentioned to his Majesty.
I suggested this idea before but he prohibited me from doing so, maybe because he still had his humanity and that's what I don't like about our king.
After of so many turns and passage, I finally reach my destination. A black wooden door was the only noticeable feature of this room. It may be normal, but inside was really out of this world experiment using the human body as my subjects.
And this never reached to his Majesty attention. I really made sure that he won't discover this.
Now that I know that the mere human possessed world class item, it is my chance to collect those items and give it to his Majesty.
As I was dreaming about praising by his Majesty, kurem took my attention as he speaks.
“Master, subject 8,981 was now in the final stage all we need to do is to attach the black core," Kurem told me.
We passed by to a multitude of human subjects in a tube and reach the gigantic door which connects to our final subjects.
After of so many failures, we finally found the exact reason why it never worked before and that is the human heart which I accidentally discover when I subjugate the human in the forest.
In the large room, several undead creatures were found doing a lot of works, monitoring, testing and whatsoever.
Kurem lead me to the biggest test tube that contains my experiment. The large creature with an ugly yet scary appearance made me shiver a little.
Its huge arm with a sharp claw and a large built made it's scarier. The multiple red eyes on his head were made to see 360 at any directions and his black skin colored completed its features.
As I came to see the monitor, I smiled as it indicates that it is responsive with our treatment.
I called kurem to instruct the scientist to start the process of the heart transplant. all of its flesh were made of heart from the human I collected that why I imbued it with dark magic to strengthen and to increase its hardness and that's the reason why the skin is black, its bone were made from different kinds of bones from the highest leader of the church of human race, they called it their pope. It’s been long years after I completely found all the body parts that are needed to make this pet useable.
When the process has begun, the test tube that so big to contain this gigantic creature started to glow; I even need to look up in order to see its entire body. Suddenly the process stopped and a loud beep could be heard throughout the whole room. The alarms started to light and the room was now in red. I panicked thinking that the experiment failed but when all are busy running, one of the employees shouted.
"Master, its eyes---- the eyes has opened" he was shocked seeing the multiple eyes move in every direction.
Everyone become silent for a while then a loud noise of laughter is heard all over the walls and all of them shout as the experiment we’ve been working for so many years became a success.
As I look at the glass tube, the monster was resisting trying to escape but even no matter how strong he is the glass won't break.
As I approach the monitor near the glass tube, I suddenly hear a crack and when I look it up.
it Shattered into pieces and the monster inside was now creating havoc inside the lab.
" wind binding" a transparent chain was coiled all over his body and preventing him from doing anything.
I float upwards to level our sight then I talk to it.
" I'm your creator, you should be grateful and behave well." The monster was creating a fogged breath to his nose and mouth while looking at me angrily.
I tapped its head and cast a slave mark so that it will not be happening again. As I look around, all the machines and equipment were totally destroyed and could not even recycle.
As the spell activated the monster was growling loudly as it feels an intense pain during this process.
Even though my chains were so strong, I need to recast it multiples times because it started to break off when the monster tried to use his strength.
" what a scary creature". I exclaimed and look at the monster who still struggling.
