The Max Level Hero Has Returned!

Chapter 118

Like when Megatron mercilessly swung its electric sword, lllyna had felt the golem army’s destructive force and knew this was living proof of the golems’ rapid speed of improvement. As such, she could not help but feel anxious. Now, since Davey had obtained a human golem that could think, had its own emotions, and could beat the Master level, she couldn’t help but think that Rinne’s existence was ridiculous.

In fact, Illyna had been overpowered by Rinne in just three minutes and was crushed to the ground even though she had fought with Caldeiras. Unlike the other golems, which she could at least beat with Caldeiras and not her regular sword, Rinne, this monstrously powerful biological golem, was something completely different. Illyna’s dumbfounded and foolish expression when she had fought Rinne, pretending it had been just a duel, was unforgettably funny.

-Now, it seems like the reason you made the golem fleet was just because you wanted to create a custom-made piece with everything you want above all else.

Of course, Perserque knew Davey too well. He wouldn’t be able to beat someone at the Master level by manufacturing multiple golems that weren’t as powerful, but he had still poured his resources and money into making these golems. For what reason? To be exact… It was for his interest.

“Sigh… Davey, okay… Let’s put aside the other golems, including Megatron. But did you purposely do that to her?” As Davey stared at Illyna in confusion, she sighed.

“Seriously, you… Do you get turned on by humiliating people in public?”

‘This princess doesn’t know to watch her mouth in public.’

It was already weird for someone of royalty to speak in that manner since they valued sophistication above all else, but she never put up a façade around Davey as if she was among the knight order.

“What’s the problem?”

“Well, her clothes…”

“Rinne. Analyzed that the durability of bothersome metal parts is significantly lower than biological armor and is inefficient. However, thinks that this cloth armor accommodates a wide range of motion. Satisfied.”

It seemed like Rinne was thinking that the clothes Davey gave her to make her look like a girl her age was armory. Currently, she was wearing a white, sleeveless top and a blue skirt with shorts underneath that came up to her knees. Her top aside, it was true that what Rinne was wearing completely went against the public morals of this world where revealing skin from the thighs to the ankles was strictly prohibited. It was the norm to keep the calves covered even if they wore a backless top. In fact, Illyna also wore a simple and comfortable dress for activity and wore a skirt with pants underneath during battle.

Davey couldn’t even speak of how the tailor that was at his territory looked at him when he first thought of Rinne’s uniform and told them about it.

“Rinne. Cannot understand and accept Illyna’s words. Requesting reason for Rinne to understand.”

“Sigh… What do I expect from a golem?”

It was even more strange and difficult to comprehend as a golem was speaking with emotion like a human would.

“Although it may not seem that way, that’s a pretty modest uniform,” Davey said.

“What part of it?!” Illyna shouted.

“Rinne. Analyzed that Illyna is weird. Thinks she needs mental help.”

As Davey tried to really mess with her, Illyna clenched her jaw and glared at him. Then, she clicked her tongue and turned away. She yelled, “Ah okay. You’re the best! Just amazing!”

“Rinne. Objectively, Sir Davey has a better understanding of this place than current technology permits and is ahead of the time.”

“Um, Rinne, a criminal does not understand the mind of a genius!”

“Rinne is a high-functioning biological golem with emotion. Very much appreciates being complimented.”

Like she was sick of it, Illyna stopped talking; it seemed like she didn’t want to argue with a golem.

“Of course… Since when was this guy open to reason, right?” Illyna mumbled to herself. Ignoring her, Davey stored the golems in a small cube and put it in his pocket.

“Anyways, it would be nice if I could test them out sometime.”

The new large, strategic weapons Davey had created made him want to test them out at least once. However, no one was reckless enough to infiltrate the territory to loot it since this damn territory had its royal guards, and there were people from wizard towers and temples as well. This, too, was a difficult situation.

“Should I take them all to the knight order?” Davey asked.

“Please think of how the trainees would feel, you dick.”

The trainees were obliterated by Megatron; it was clear what would happen if four more golems like it were added to the mix.

In that sense, necromancers and golem controllers were somewhat similar. Since Davey didn’t have to use mana, the golems would be able to fight infinitely if they were charged with energy.

“Big Brother!!”

However, it only took a few coincidences to win the lottery; Davey was presented with an opportunity quite quickly. He heard news from Amy, who quickly ran over to him while huffing and puffing, and Winley and Yulis, who followed.

“A… A herd of monsters was discovered! And it’s a large herd with about five thousand of them!”

Come to think of it, Davey had never thought about how well they would perform in large-scale battles.

‘This is a perfect opportunity to test a new product.’

It was irritating how the little mosquito was testing the waters and playing with Davey like a toy, but the mosquito had given Davey a good present at the perfect time.

“Rinne. Is talented. Thinks the ability of the body is interference and interpretation.”

“You’re connected to the golems of the Decepticon Fleet in some way anyways,” Davey spoke.

“Rinne. Thinks the foreign object is uncomfortable. Does not appreciate this.”

Rinne was protesting that something that was sub-par had entered her perfect body. It was true that Davey was very knowledgeable in alchemy, but it was just theoretical knowledge; he didn’t have much experience with it. Although, he had so much experience in combat and survival that he was sick of it now.

There was no way of knowing what the ancient humans were aiming for when they captured Rinne and made her into a golem since she also basically had no memory before being activated. The only thing she remembered was that she was a species called White Wing, and the fact that White Wings were able to use a variety of unbelievably powerful abilities like the Special Ones. Other than that, Davey had figured out that this White Wing, an extinct species, had a mental network that allowed them to share their consciousnesses through a unique connection to something called the Great God. In Rinne’s case, it seemed like she just had their inherent abilities and could not access the mental network as she had turned into a golem, but there was potential for improvement.

By ‘interpretation’, she was talking about her ability to obtain basic, necessary information about someone by physical contact. It wasn’t as absurd as Perserque’s ability, which allowed her to look into the Abyss, but this was the reason why Rinne pushed her finger into Davey’s nose when they first met.

‘Although, it doesn’t have to be the nose if it’s about having contact with the mucus membrane.’

As a result, Rinne had already gained basic knowledge about Davey and his name.

‘Interference’ probably had something to do with the equipment for the back of her hand that she was able to summon. Davey did think that it was something that probably couldn’t easily be explained with alchemy or magic, but he didn’t expect it to be an inherent ability.

Davey concluded that the purpose of Rinne’s creation might’ve been to create a weapon. However, he couldn’t shake off the feeling that her two abilities weren’t supposed to be used that way.

“Davey, it’s me. I found the herd over here. It looks like they were hiding on the hills to try and ambush the territory.”

“How many?”

“Like what Amy, the substitute seigneur lady, said, about five thousand. But there’s no sign of a vampire that you were talking about. We’re going to pass the rift soon.”

Illyna, who had gone in the opposite direction of Davey, told him about the enemy after finding them. The fact that monsters were acting this strategically and that the predator and predated on had joined forces…

‘It’s funny.’

Even if they were intelligent, ogres and trolls were archenemies, and goblins were nothing but their food source. However, five thousand of them had joined forces and were going to attack the territory by taking a strategic route. One would have to be a primate to not know that there was something else in the dark that was controlling them. Of course, they were discovered by the hunters who were wandering nearby as being ordered didn’t change the fact that they were still idiots.

“Damn vampires.” Illyna, who showed extreme anger towards vampires, went insane as soon as Davey said that this incident had something to do with vampires. She participated with no regard to her status or anything.

“Big Brother. Are we going to be okay? We have no soldiers,” Winley pointed out.

“We know that you are strong, Sir Davey… But it may be hard to get rid of all of them if there are a lot of them.”

Even the most exceptional Swordmaster could not catch all five thousand of the monsters scattered around without missing a single one, especially in the terrain of such mountains. After all, five thousand was not a small number at all.

“Whatever it is, it’s unusual for monsters to band together and move like that. There will be unnecessary chaos if this gets out,” Davey said.

Winley nodded and tightly wrapped her hand around her wand. “I will help!”

“Mages’ power may be on the weaker side, but we in untargeted, wide attacks. I will move quickly with Lady Winley…” Yulis added.

“There’s no need for you to go.”

The two stared at Davey in confusion.

“Big Brother, what do you mean?”

“No way…”

As Yulis spoke, Davey stared up at the clear, blue sky. He probably couldn’t say something like ‘Die, you bugs!’ again, but the star of the show this time was somewhere else. He simply said, “Rinne, let’s begin.”

A bright and emotionless voice came through the communication crystal in Davey’s hand. “Rinne, execute orders: activate entire Decepticon Fleet.”

Click!! Clang!! As soon as Davey gave the order, the fist-sized cube that was in front of him began shining and enlarging. Since they were fully non-living objects unlike Rinne, it was easy to cast an expansion spell on them.

As an enormous statue-like object popped out, Winley mumbled in surprise, “That… The golem…”

“It’s slightly different…”

Click!! Clang!!

‘It’s essential for snipers to be able to conceal themselves well.’

Ignoring Winley and Yulis’ mumbling, the statue-like object began transforming into a gigantic golem. However, unlike Megatron, this one had a huge objecton its back.

“Code 002. Start sniper mode. Rinne, sending coordinates.”

As the voice of Rinne, who was the command tower, quietly resonated from the crystal, the golem slowly raised its arm, pulled out a huge object from its back, and unfolded it. It looked similar to a large sniper gun, but there was a magic crystal embedded where the barrel should be. To be exact, there were three crystals attached behind the first one.

Davey felt like he had invested a little too much into this golem, since it was responsible for the fleet’s firepower, and the power output of the magic crystal was outrageous.

[Command accepted. Elder Brain, coordinates locked.]

“Rinne, the other golems?”

“Placed in appropriate positions. Rinne’s juniors, highly valued.”

“Alright, then. Go nuts.”

As Rinne fully entered command mode, Sniper began to slowly move the magic gun’s body. There was nothing but a dark forest in the direction it was pointing at, but the golem didn’t care and pulled out a cable from its body and plugged it into the gun. Then, it began shining fiercely with a bright light.

-We’re going to have to stop it from shining like that.

“Let’s fix that.”

Of course, there was bound to be trial and error since it was the first version.

Whoosh… As a large amount of mana began gathering to the barrel of the gun, the two mages’ faces grew pale.

“Let’s move to the mountains where Rinne is.”

Now that Davey had seen it start up, it was time to watch the mass slaughter.

“Wedge battle tactic chosen. Rinne, command passed on to juniors.”

With a calm voice, a simple sentence fell on the monsters that were entering the narrow rift.

“Launch.”

Boom!!! The surroundings began deforming, and a large number of energy bullets soared through the forest.
