Chapter 25: Arriving at the Alchemy Tower
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“When I first heard the words of the nobles and Anthony’s grandfather, I didn’t believe that the Red Crystal Gargoyle was that powerful. After all, I’ve seen 4-star alchemical creatures, Houndhead Men, and Warriors before. They’re slightly stronger than ordinary beginner Level 4 professionals, but there’s no chance of winning against the best 4-star ones!
However, the Red Crystal Gargoyle was as powerful as an advanced 5-star professional, just like what brother Dyson had said. As a magical and alchemical creature, as long as its energy core was not destroyed, it would have an endless supply of energy. If it was on the battlefield, it would be a killing machine!
If there were ten thousand, no! Why would there be a need for ten thousand? A thousand Red Crystal Gargoyles attacking a Totto Land that was slightly larger than normal was like a joke. If there were ten thousand Red Crystal Gargoyles, even if it was like the Storm Empire, it was just a piece of cake!
Master Mas is really terrifying. He can actually refine such a powerful alchemical creature, and it was only a Level 4 alchemical creature. Moreover, this should not be Master Mas’s most outstanding work of alchemical creatures, but a random refinement by accident. If Master Mas could refine a Level 7 alchemical creature, then not to mention the Ten Great Empires, even the entire continent would be afraid of it!
I don’t know if Master Mas has the ability to refine Level 7 Alchemical Creatures. Among the Ten Great Empires, only the Alchemy Empire has a Level 7 Alchemical Creature. But with that monster, the Alchemy Empire rose rapidly. Even the Alchemy Empire, which doesn’t have a Level 7 professional, managed to squeeze into the ranks of the Ten Great Empires. Alchemy is truly a terrifying skill!”
Belek looked at the Red Crystal Gargoyle that had returned to listen to his orders and thought about many things. However, there was one thing that he had made up his mind. No matter what, he had to get closer to Master Mas. He was in a hurry to establish a good relationship with his beloved disciple, Dyson!
His ambitions, which had been ground down by life, were now inflated infinitely. It was as though he had become a younger version of himself. He knew very well in his heart that if he could cozy up to Master Mas, it would be effortless for his Sith Chamber of Commerce to replace the other two largest chambers of commerce in the Empire. In fact, it would be impossible for him to become the Emperor of the Storm Empire!

From the start of the battle to the end, the ten Red Crystal Gargoyles took less than three minutes to scare all the members of the Vicious Wolf Assocation away.
After the bandit army lost over thirty lives, they scattered and fled.
Mas was giving orders in his head not to chase them too far.
He whistled softly again. The Red Crystal Gargoyles that was still slaughtering earlier were now sitting obediently in front of Maslike a group of children listening to their parents’ advice.
Belek looked at Mas and involuntarily swallowed his phlegm.
“Brother Dyson, now that we’ve been through life and death together, can you tell me how strong the Red Crystal Gargoyle is among Master Mas’s alchemical creatures?”
Belek glanced shakily at the ten reapers behind Mas, his voice full of fear.
Mas smiled and sighed. “The Red Crystal Gargoyle is Master Mas’s first alchemical creature!”
“What?!” Belek found it unbelievable.
“Brother Dyson, are you joking with me again?” Belek did not believe such a ridiculous thing.
Such a powerful alchemical creature was actually Master Mas’s first alchemical creature.
Even though Belek had never really learned alchemy, he often came into contact with it and learned some tricks through hearsay. He knew that alchemical creatures were the most difficult ones in alchemy. Also, shouldn’t the most common alchemy soldiers be the first to refine alchemical creatures?
To be able to create such an extraordinary Red Crystal Gargoyle right from the start, how terrifying was Master Mas’s alchemy talent?
In his subconsciousness, Belek kept reminding himself that Dyson was lying to him, but he could not tell that Dyson was lying to him.
Then there was only one possibility. He was right.
Of course, Mas did not lie, and there was no need for him to lie either. In a sense, this Red Crystal Gargoyle was indeed the first alchemical creature that he had refined. Of course, it was also the only alchemical creature that he could refine right now.
“Let’s go, President Belek!” Mas urged.
Just like that, the group continued their journey to the Gloom Forest’s Alchemy Tower. However, Mas did not retrieve the Red Crystal Gargoyle. Instead, he made them fly at a low altitude to prevent any danger that might happen at any moment.
The group followed Mas and continued to the front line in the depths of the Gloom Forest.
Now, everyone looked at Mas with reverence. Instead of respect, it was more like fear of the eleven Red Crystal Gargoyles hovering in the sky. After all, the tragic scene of the “performance” was still fresh in everyone’s minds.
Even Harry, who had the Ogre bloodline, had his loyalty increased by 15 points after this incident.

This sudden loyalty value caught Mas off guard.
Perhaps, could this be the ‘Overlord Energy’ possessed by those legendary emperor experts in his previous life?
Even if the Red Crystal Gargoyle was an external force, it would always listen to Mas. That way, it could see it as part of Mas’ power.
The rest of the journey was smooth and unobstructed. They did not encounter any trouble along the way.
Of course, the main reason why they did not encounter any trouble was because the eleven Red Crystal Gargoyles flying at low altitudes had a deterrent effect.
Why would there be an extra Red Crystal Gargoyle? Naturally, it was because the Gargoyle that Mas had “given” to Timothy had flown back after successfully killing Timothy.
It was almost 7 pm when they finally arrived at their destination—the Alchemy Tower deep in the Gloom Forest.
When Belek saw that there were still ten Red Crystal Gargoyles flying in the sky above the tower, he was very surprised.
Belek was not surprised by the ten Red Crystal Gargoyles, but by the height of the Alchemy Tower.
In his past knowledge, the more outstanding an alchemist’s ability was, the more magnificent and tall the Alchemy Tower should be. However, Master Mas’ tower was only about a hundred meters tall.
After all, he had personally placed the best alchemist of the Storm Empire. The other party’s Alchemy Tower was 300 meters high!
He believed that the hundred-meter Alchemy Tower in front of him did not match the status of an alchemist at least Level 7 and above. A Level 7 great alchemist should have a height of at least a thousand meters!
He was currently looking at the hundred-meter Alchemy Tower in front of him in astonishment. However, due to his status, he did not say much.
Belek retracted his gaze and sized up Mas. He said very sincerely, “Brother Dyson, it’s been hard on you this time. If you didn’t help on this escort trip, it’s hard to say what would have happened.”
When Mas heard that, he only smiled and did not continue. “Wait for me outside. Allow me to report to Master Mas first. As for Sha You and the rest, come with me.”
Mas greeted Sha You and the other three before leading them into the mysterious Alchemy Tower.
As for the eleven Red Crystal Gargoyles that came with him, he left them outside the tower, waiting for orders.
When Mas walked to the gate and entered the passcode, Leah asked hesitantly, “Brother Dyson, will your master be as easy to get along with as you?”
With that, Leah stared nervously at Mas, as if trying to find the answer she wanted in his eyes.
The two sisters had never helped alchemists before, but they had also heard some rumors. Some powerful and mysterious alchemists had very strange tempers and were very difficult to get along with.
It was not just Leah. Even Sha You, Harry, and Walter were staring at Mas nervously.
Just as Leah was asking, Mas opened the door and led the four inside.
