Chapter 3 - Lilly

As I approach the wall I start to feel a light draft in the area. With my affinity to wind I can feel subtle fluctuations around me. I decide to chance it and reel back my arm, Using my full strength I punch the wall moving the wall and denting it slightly. The bones? from my knuckles the my shoulder blade are shattered but as I regenerate I feel fine. In front of me the rocks start to flicker and warp revealing a metal door and accompanying walls. Before the illusion rebuilds Itself I go to the door and try to access it. With no buttons I result to force and blast the door off its hinges. Inside is completely dark but with the slight night vision I can see cables and other wiring leading to a platform with a silhouette atop of it. As I step inside lights automatically turn on revealing some form of labatory filled with items and materials. On a board next to the platform I see a message.

Inject mana into Golems neck to activate Warning there is no turning back.

On top of the platform is a girl? Sleeping on the platform. As I look closer I notice wiring and medical implements of some kind strewn across the platform which is a medical table. I decide to follow the instructions as if I'm lucky I can gain some information and if worst comes to worst I can destroy it. Carefully I put my fingers on her neck like I was checking for a pulse and injected my mana slowly but surely. Around me the air and mana became chaotic causing an electric field to form around us. Pouring as much mana as I could into the golem I accepted the challenge that the surroundings had given me. Cuts started to form on my body as wind blades and dust etched away at my body. I screamed in rage and pain as I poured the remaining mana into the golem and went past my limits even with the fast regeneration of my sp it wasn't enough. Finally after fully exhausting my sp for hours I activated the golem and the surrounding mana surged towards the Golems chest. Golden eyes stared at me as a fist collided with my chest flinging me across the room. That's some raw power.

"Who are you?" A mature yet elegant voice called out to me underlying a hint of threat.

"My name is Ren Regalia and who are you and why are you down here?"

"I...I do not have a name nor do I know who I am and what I am doing here"

"Do you know where here is? You are inside a labyrinth. There has to be a reason why you are down here so tell me the way out and I'll leave you alone"

"The entrance to the next floor is behind that door" She pointed at another metallic door to my right She looked lost but I didn't want anything to do with her as she was dangerous so I began to walk to the door.

"Well thanks for the information see ya"

"Please wait" She sounded desperate. "Take me with you I don't want to be alone"

For a golem she sounded pretty sad "Nah sounds like too much hastle to carry you along"

"I'll be useful I'm a biological golem the height of technology and magic as you saw my strength surpasses yours I'll be useful"

Hmm extra firepower could be useful. "Haah fine but I need to make adjustments and upgrade my weaponry before we leave also here take this your naked.

"T-thank you" why is she blushing like a newlywed we're in a labyrinth. Focus. I need to revise my guns to make them slimmer and try to create a larger caliber rifle maybe like a lever action or bolt action rifle. I start transmuting ammunition and making the revisions on the revolvers. Slimmer glistening revolvers with pure black runes and etchings covering the barrel and body of the weapons. Matte black stone blades sharpened to a point of extreme sharpness in the form of a combat knife and throwing knives. This is done in a matter of hours as the golem stares at me as I do all of the work.

"How are you transmuting weaponry on such an intricate way? Transmutation is a skill used to mould ore and extract minerals from rocks. "

"It's simple make it sharper and focus on what you want to make"..."What do I call you by?"

She starts fidgeting at the thought of what to call herself. She mutters "Name me" knowing full well I can hear her"

Looking at her from head to toe silky pale skin with small but perfect proportions.She stands at 5ft 2 with Extremely light pink hair that looks almost like white with a small nose and Asian looking eyes sharp and precise. Glowing golden eyes accentuate her figure and she eminates a hidden strength.

Hmm Lilly like the flower that's what she reminds me of.

"Lilly from now on you will be called Lilly"

"I...Like that thank you"

~A few months later~

I holster my modified guns and strap my new lever action rifle to my back putting my overcoat on and hooking throwing knives for easy use on the inside. Finally putting on my polymer weave trousers and hardened boots on I was ready. Turning around my companion had reduced herself with a shorter overcoat leggings and a skirt wearing a small bow in her hair completed her getup. While our clothes didn't look like they could protect us I had seen the better part of a week and sleepless nights creating a lightweight metallic and polymer weave made out of the strongest materials available to me and enhanced with runes provided from my void being to enhance strength and give our outfits other gimmicks like self cleaning and tracking functionality. They truly were my masterpieces ready for their debut in the next floor. We had grown somewhat closer after I created her weaponry and I was shocked to find out that she was a mage!! She flung me like I was a pebble and yet her profession didn't even focus on strength. A truly broken character Indeed. No wonder she was locked down here. My sp has dramatically raised after using it all constantly for hours upon end and with the increased stats I am finally ready to leave.
