Alone, Allen proceeded towards Cybertron.

Along the way, there were extremely powerful monsters ranging from Mid–Rook to Initial Knight ranked monsters. However, Allen easily dealt with them.

Boom! A huge golden lightning struck a monster that looked like an ape from above. Thud! – with a burned body that was still even emitting smoke, the ape fell down on the ground. Dead.

Allen shrugs and proceeded without care when, Hm?

He felt a familiar sensation. This mana… silver crystal, huh…

Allen changed his course and after walking a few distance, he arrived in front of a floating silver crystal.

This was the third one~

[ Lion King’s Coat (Legend) – Coat made from the fur of a Lion King. Increased STR and AGI by 500% and give 300% defense from physical and magical attack. Enables the user to use the skills: [ Lion King’s Aura ] [ Lion King’s Roar ] and [ Jungle Empowerment ] ]

An item crystal…

Allen once again throws it on his Summoning Grimoire and proceeded again.

After a few hours of walking, Allen finally exited the Forest of Beast and entered the Forest of Machines.

Contrary to the two forests before, the Forest of Machine was filled with giant pillars made up of metals.

Above him were hanging cables that seemed to be connected from the metal pillars.

Allen touched one of the metal pillars. No one had managed to figure out what this place was or what these pillars were used into. They seemed to have already been broken.

There were many people who had tried studying it but apart from the complex design that managed to give the experts enlightenment in creating new machines in the previous timeline, no one managed to discover its use. It had been dead… they said.

Some also say that this was in fact, a piece of the Cybertron homeworld that had appeared in this world.

The world that Optimus Prime and Megatron in the Movie transformers had always wanted to revive and desired. However, it’s now long been dead now.

Neither power nor energy can be felt from this place. Even the cables hanging here was dead.

Allen strolls around the place, trying to find a new discovery.

When he had come here in the previous world, most of the place was already looted.

[ Intruder… Intruder… Alert! ]

Allen turned his head and saw several beasts-like machines –or in other worlds, Cyborgs.

With the shape that of a dog, a cheetah, an ape and many animal-look like forms, these cyborgs was the inhabitant of this place.

[ Cybeast ]

Buzzing!!

In an instant, the Cybeasts opened the panels on their backs and started firing missiles one after another.

Allen somersaulted and then with a wave of his hand, wind blades were launched towards the Cybeasts.

Cryaaah!! Dozens of flying type Cybeasts once again attack Allen in the air.

There were even pterodactyls…

Allen’s lips suffused into a thin smile.

These robots, it should be good to give this to Mia – in that sense, she would be the one leading the scientific advancement in this world.

Thus, apart from killing several, Allen prioritizes in catching most of the Cybeasts.

… …

… …

Allen walked through the Forest of Machines all while carefully examining the design and nature of the machines found inside.

Due to this, he had actually reached new heights in his Meta-Crafting skill.

Now, he can also create powerful and convenient yet at the same time machine structures.

Shiiing!! Suddenly, a light suddenly came out from his chest and a female figure appeared beside Allen.

“Master, I came back!”

Allen looked at the woman that had appeared and a gentle smile suffused his face, “Laura, did you finished absorbing the power?”

Laura smiled happily as she bowed her head.

Laura Brown. Formerly human but turned Demon by Allen through a contract; [ Deal with the Devil ].

Because of this, Allen can turn her into one of his tamed beasts using the Seal of Solomon.

Allen actually didn’t propose this but instead, it was Laura’s decision.

The moment she had heard about Allen’s impending ascension, she wanted to come along. However, since Allen didn’t want to bring someone with him, this was the only choice she had got.

[ Demon Succubus ] Laura Brown!

At this moment, her power skyrocketed.

She had even left behind the others by a step; Initial Rook ranked Demon.

“I’ve already absorbed half of the power master had graciously bestowed upon me,” Laura responded happily.

A pair of horns that looked like a ram protruding from each side of her head and a tail with the tip that looked like that of a heart swayed behind her. Her revealing dress was slim fit and her chest seemed to have gotten even bigger.

Did she become sexier and more beautiful…?

Is she throwing pheromones around? Allen mused.

This must be due to her Demon Succubus physique.

“Ah, did you need anything?”

“No master! I wanted to… accompany you if it’s not a problem…” She asked shyly.

She had noticed that Allen seems to be alone now so she came out. Others were still undergoing evolution inside the Grimoire world. Though as a former human turn devil, she didn’t need much evolution as other beasts. Thus, she can leave and come out whenever she wanted.

Allen shrugs. “Go on,”

Laura happily followed Allen strolling through the Forest of Machines.

The monsters here were all Knight Class so Laura’s power cut short.

Besides, Laura against Machines was a poor pairing. Demon Succubus skills mostly depend on their charm and negative buffs but Machines doesn’t have any feelings or emotions, thus, she was still of no use.

However, Allen doesn’t care about that.

Allen’s power is more than enough to kill every single damn monster inside the Forest of Machine… alone.

Huge dinosaurs and beasts made up of machines with ferocity, strength, and speed completely stronger than normal monsters. Fangs and Claws that can rip metals apart and missiles and torpedoes that can shot with much precision.

But most of them were easily dealt with.

Allen’s speed was entirely different compared to when he was with the others.

In just a few hours of walking without rest, he and Laura immediately arrived at the Forest Boundary – a clearing between the Forest of Machines and Cybertron…

“Master, I think you need to rest now.” Laura suddenly proposed.

She looked at Allen with concern filling her face.

Allen was exploring, learning and fighting at the same time without a rest. Although Allen was a Superhuman with tremendous vitality and stamina, Laura still can’t help but get worried.

“I’m fine,” Allen responded with a smile. “Though, I guess you also had a point.”

Now that she mentioned it, if I’m not mistaken –in the northeast part of the clearing; approximately 4 miles from his location –a Dungeon was located.

[ Trial of Fire ]

And the thing is – it was inhabited by a Naga outcast who found it and invaded, conquering the entire Dungeon making it her home.

[ Lama ]

Allen almost had forgotten it. After all, it was not really a good story for someone like him.

There was once a Superhuman –the one who had first explored this region; the infamous anti-hero/explorer – Vlad Ruinos. Or also called as– Vlad the Destroyer!

He was a very cruel but extremely powerful Superhuman who is extremely infamous before Allen had become active in the previous timeline.

From the story he had heard, Vlad came here and met the Lava Naga –causing for the pitiful Naga to fall in love with him.

The Naga gave Vlad everything even her entire precious treasures she had collected. However, after everything she had done, she was enslaved by Vlad and became his plaything.

He had even once boasted it towards the world while showing off his power and prestige.

Poor Naga –in the end when Vlad was persecuted by many major organizations, she was sent to her death for him to escape. And even there, Vlad showed that he never love her and only used her as a tool.

Hmm… Allen never liked that story.

Well, I guess this is also giving her a new future… Allen grins.

Thus, he changed his original route and started walking to save a pitiful girl from her impending terrible future (?)
