Release That Succubus



Thankfully, when she got close, Grace was already standing close to Clara and was checking up on her. From the look on Grace's face, there was only a trace of dislike but no animosity was mixed into his expressions. It could only mean that Clara was still unharmed.

Diana didn't stop for Clara and rushed straight towards the true source of her worries. Zach was even closer to the rhino when compared to Clara and was the most likely to be implicated by Diana's attack. Therefore, she stopped right in front of the figure she loved the most and only after scanning him from top to bottom was she able to breathe.

Fortunately, Zach seemed to be completely unharmed as well. The fact that the explosion took place inside the rhino's mouth also acted as the buffer and contained the explosion somewhat. Most of the force behind the explosion was lost trying to overcome the dreadfully tough skin of the rhino from the inside out which kept both Zach and Clara from getting injured in the aftermath.

Zach didn't notice Diana fretting all over his well being as he was too focused on the notification that sounded the moment the rhino took its last breath. Zach loved these sudden rewards and he was sure that this notification was going to be the announcement of his reward for taking care of the rhino.

Just as he had imagined, the notification read:

[**Congratulations**]

[You have successfully defeated the defense type beast 'Giant Rhinoceros'. The threat to Clara's life has been neutralized for the time being.]

[Quest clear conditions for the sudden quest 'Unstoppable' have been met.]

[A suitable reward is being prepared for the clearance of the quest.]

  [A new item has been unlocked as a reward. The item can be accessed at any time through the Weapons Arsenal.]

Zach could not wait any longer because he was already addicted to the feeling of scrolling down the Weapons Arsenal in search of newly accessible items. Even though Diana was right in front of him, Zach had barely noticed her. He was busy interacting with the system trying to find out about the new item he had unlocked through clearance of such a tough quest.

The item that greeted him in the Weapons Arsenal was the best possible item in the category of utility oriented items.

[AI Medical System]

[Physical Attack: 0]  [Magic Attack: 0]

[Durability: 100/100]

[Item Description: A futuristic medical system operated by the most sophisticated artificial intelligence programmed based on the data gathered from various top notch medical specialists of the era. Having this system is equivalent to receiving high end medical care from the world's foremost doctors at the same time. The technology has yet to find an equal in the field of autonomous AI based diagnostic and medical treatment facilities of all eras. It not only has a vast amount of knowledge and can distinguish between all the diseases known to human kind but also has the ability to learn and absorb more knowledge allowing it to keep up with the times. It is armed with the latest diagnostic and treatment technologies and can treat all kinds of traumas without the need of human intervention.]

[Item Skills]

[Diagnosis (Upgradable)]

[Skill Description: The AI scans through the hundreds of diseases as it finds the best possible match based on the symptoms being shown by the body in order to give a certain and error free diagnosis of the patient's condition. Although the skill diagnosis is error free, there might be some diseases that the data bank might not hold any information about. The same will be unrecognizable for the system and might prove to be a challenge for the system. The skill will increase in level with each upgrade which will increase the accuracy of the diagnosis. Moreover, the number of diseases that the system can diagnose and the procedures it can carry out will become more numerous with every upgrade.]

  [Minor Trauma Healing (Upgradeable)]

[Skill Description: The AI uses the various tools at its disposal to heal minor traumas suffered by the patient. Its touch is very sublime and there is very little possibility of scarring after the procedure is carried out by the system.]

[Medical Detention (Upgradeable)]

[Skill Description: The patient is detained by the system to undergo several medical procedures in case of a serious illness or a serious internal or external injury. The procedure may be lengthy but the futuristic technology is the absolute guarantee that the patient would be able to receive the best medical care available. The patient will be released once the danger to his or her life has been averted or after the disease has been fully cured.]

Zach read through the three skills attached to the item and ended up grinning like the villain from some third rate fiction movie. The excitement was bubbling out of him even though he tried his best to keep a poker face in front of the people. Thankfully, the view of most people had been obscured by the sand and smoke after the explosion. Hence, very few people had been able to truly witness his creepy expressions.

Zach felt that he was truly blessed by the goddess of luck. The item he had received this time was something he was desperately in need of. The amount of battles his people were taking part in these days had increased so much in the last few weeks. Injuries were obviously unavoidable in such situations. Therefore, the appearance of such an item was a heaven sent blessing for him and his people who could benefit from it through him. Zach vowed to himself that he would upgrade this item as soon as an opportunity to do so revealed itself to him.

Hiding his bulging excitement, Zach turned his attention to Clara who was walking towards him with Grace in tow.

Diana didn't get in their way as she stood behind Zach like a good wife and kept a smile on her face. Others would have thought that Diana's happiness was due to the fact that she had managed to deal the killing blow to the rhino. Only she knew that the reason for her excitement was that she had finally been able to lend her aid to Zach in a battle. Previously, all her attempts to do so had ended in failure. Either the opponent turned out to be too strong or Zach completely overwhelmed the enemy with his strength without the aid of any outsider.

Clara extended her hand towards Zach as she said, "I am glad that you were here by my side or else confronting such an enemy with just my strength might have turned out to be a fool's errand. Even if I could take it out, the enemy in the shadows would have definitely made full use of the opportunity. Therefore, I sincerely appreciate your help this time. As agreed, in return for your protection during the journey back to Byzantine city, I will offer the maximum assistance of the Windsor family in order to help you all settle down."

Zach didn't let her hang for long and grabbed her hand with minimal strength in order to seal the deal between the two parties.
