Corduul drove his sword forward, the tip penetrated deep into Khebar's chest. And as he penetrated deeper and deeper, Khebar belched out a mouthful of blood.

Khebar then glared at Corduul with rage. "Now you did it. I really have to praise your master. He made a really powerful golem, and he even sent it to protect his son. Not only an incredible golem master, but also a wonderful father. Hahaha. I would like to see his reaction when I killed his son."

"You are going to die here," Corduul replied.

"No. You are mistaken."

A red pill suddenly appeared in front of Khebar, and then it entered his mouth. After he gulped the pill whole, a powerful aura exploded from him.

"Mountain Palm Strike!" Khebar slapped the blade that got stuck in his chest, and it snapped like a stick.

He then jumped off the dent on the mountain and then pulled out the remaining part of the blade that got stuck in his body.

"No more game. I will destroy you now." Khebar widened his stance and then pushed his palm forward.

A ripple far superior than the previous swept through Corduul and then blasted him into the air. His mechanical parts rattled against each other and his sensors let out numerous warnings.

"Hahaha! Feel my incredible power!" Khebar leaped into the sky, flying above Corduul, and then he slashed his palm downward.

At that moment in time, the heaven seemed to have split into two. With a crack of thunder, Corduul was slammed into the ground.

His right leg was completely crushed while cables came out of his body with electricity sparking all over.

Khebar landed beside the broken Corduul and scoffed. "I can't believe a mere golem can give me so much trouble."

He then walked towards the mansion. A bunch of golems tried to stop him, but he slapped them away.

Suddenly, something held on to his leg. Khebar looked back and saw it was Corduul holding on to his left foot.

"You are not going anywhere."

Khebar laughed. "Now I understand why a lot of people prefer to rent golems for protection. Even when their bodies are broken apart, they will still do their job. I have to say, you are the best golem I have ever seen. Now, let me give you the honor of death. You deserve that much."

Khebar raised his foot and was about to stomp on Corduul's head until he heard a voice.

"Hey! What are you scoundrels doing in my house?!"

Khebar looked to the side and saw a short boy glaring at him with his head held high.

"Hahaha! You come out at last. Where is the legendary skill. Give it to me or die!"

"Legendary skill? Alright, I will give it to you."

Khebar scoffed. "Cowards. You give in that easily? Your father will be so disappointed in you."

"Here take this. Beastly Rip!"

Tom clawed the air in front of him and suddenly the space around Khebar was ripped apart.

Khebar widened his eyes and reacted quickly, kicking the ground to get away. But the attack manage to rip his right arm in half.

He roared in pain and then looked at the boy with widened eyes. "You… you manage to learn the legendary skill in a day?"

Even the teachers that secretly spied on Tom was shocked by this.

"Did I see that right? He learned a legendary skill in a day! He did it!"

"You didn't see wrongly. He did learn the skill."

"This boy is a prodigy among prodigy. Nobody has ever learned a legendary skill in a day. The fastest time someone did that was in a decade."

"No wonder Aldred is so protective of his son. His talent is simply too precious! How far could he go in the future! There is a high chance that he will become the strongest Adamantite Rank in the kingdom."

The teachers looked at each other.

"If that is the case then the Adamantite Rankers would probably know about his talent. And maybe some even reach out to guide him personally."

"It was good that we decided not to help the attackers. If we do help them, then our lives will really be destroyed."

Now that they knew Tom's talent, they wouldn't even dare to attack him openly.

"We have to strengthen our relationship with Tom and his father. If there is a chance the he will become an Adamantite Rank in the future, we might earn ourselves a powerful backer."

"Good idea."

They all nodded in agreement

Khebar stood still, staring at the boy as he gritted his teeth in pain.

"How?! How did you learn the skill so quickly???"

"I am just that smart."

"Bull shit! Even the smartest magician wouldn't able to learn it that fast!"

"That's because they are not the smartest. I am the smartest." Tom put both hands on his waist and laughed like a maniac.

"I can't believe this. This is impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible!" Tom clawed the air once again, and the space between Khebar's body was ripped in half.

Khebar widened his eyes as his whole body was shredded in pieces.

"Not bad. Not bad at all." Tom laughed.

Looking to the side, he saw the robots already began sweeping the retreating attackers.

"When the leader died, the honchos retreat."

Tom walked towards Corduul. "Thanks for defending me, buddy."

"It is my duty, Master." Corduul then transformed into his original form. A humanoid metallic like figure with a bunch of augmetic limbs coming out from his back.

He retracted those limbs and then a red robe began covering his body. The robe was actually made out of nano technology that helped Corduul hiding his arsenal and provide some protection for his body.

"Tell me, Corduul. If you are destroyed, can I get you back?"

"Although I constantly send my memories into the Mechanicum's database, once my brain is destroyed, then I am truly death. You can recreate me with the latest memory I sent to the Mechanicum."

"But then you are not you."

"Who decides that, master? Once you recreate me, it doesn't matter if the brain is organic or mechanical."

"But you do said that the human brain's of creativity is the most powerful advantage. If you don't have that human brain, then you will not have that capacity anymore."

"That is true. My ability to invent new technologies will certainly be limited should I lose my brain, but that will be no concern to you, master. There are a lot of tech priest in training that might surpass me in the future. The Mechanicum will keep growing and continue to serve you."

Tom sighed. "That's not what I meant. I already consider you as part of my family, Corduul. If you are death, I will certainly feel sad."

"Sadness… We already delete that function of our brain."

"That… is kinda sad to hear."

"It is to the benefit of the Mechanicum. Sadness slows down progress with unnecessary suffering. We figured out our brains often made feelings at unspecified time and we often cannot predict the feeling it produce. This has proved to be one of the factor why our progress is so slow during the initial stage of our organization. We remove all the negative feelings and our progress skyrocketed."

"But what about the good feeling? You know, excitement, joy, love?"

Corduul's eyes flickered. "We never consider those. Perhaps, we lose that too."

"That's because you need to comprehend sadness to know happiness. Now you are just a machine. Haish, what a sad existence to live in. You know what the difference between living being and object? Feeling! If you can't feel, you aren't alive."

"But, feeling slows our progress. It makes us weak."

"No, it makes you strong. Those who can do the job despite their feeling is the true strong men. Removing them completely means that you are no different than a rock."

Tom sighed. "But I guess I don't have the right to tell you that since your organization do grow big because of this. Not everyone can act opposite of what they feel. Maybe what you guys do is much more practical."

Tom thought for a second. "But who is actually the leader of the organization before? Who formed it?"

"The Mechanicum doesn't have a leader. Every major decision is discussed through our virtual-neural network with all the tech priest participating. After everyone send their opinion, we will have to come to a conclusion."

"But who formed it first?"

"It was Victor, the former ruler of Duria."

"Ehh…"
