The master card reward was beyond what Zain could imagine. Just from looking at the system alone it was clear that he had reached his peak potential. The strength he could gather was double than what he had before, he was superhuman.
Clenching his fist, he could feel the strength that he was able to gather in one hand. Although many would have called all of the feats of Zain before superhuman, it was the first time he actually felt superhuman.
To Zain it was clear after fighting Carl, that his stats were better than his. At least in multiple departments, but now he clearly had surpassed him.
'This system, how is it able to do such a thing, is it because of the crystal, just what is this?' Zain thought to himself.
It was clear, the reason why this quest was at the master level was because it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. When would he face Carl again and their levels be so far apart, yet somehow Zain had won the fight.
'This was a quest that I was never meant to complete, an impossible quest, which is why I got such a big reward.' Zain thought to himself.
There was still one part of the quest reward that Zain had to read, and it was a big sigh of relief.
[You have defeated the person of your nightmares]
[Your training has been completed]
[You will no longer enter the dream state]
"With this, I guess it means I will no longer suffer from those random blackouts that I keep getting, but I wonder, if it means I can no longer enter the weapon carnival as well? Either way, I should be thankful for what the system has given me. I'm in the situation to do exactly what I want." Zain said to himself as he stood up.
Returning to the others, Zain could see that Dart was talking to the others, he was asking them where the main person in question was.
"It looks like I came just in time, I'm ready to meet Humfree." Zain said.
Dart nearly jumped as soon as he heard Zain's voice. The way Dart now looked at Zain, it was completely different compared to before. In fact, on the walk to the main office where Humfree resided, Dart was completely silent.
Upon entering the room, Dart closed the door behind him, and Zain could see Humfree by a desk that was propped in the corner behind two large bookshelves, by his side were two of the Chained Zombies.
Unlike before, when Zain first met them, he was no longer worried, and it was no longer a question of whether he could beat them or not, it was more so a question of how many.
'This… right now, Humfree probably evaluated me on my performance from before, he thinks that I showed him everything I had, when in reality I am now beyond what he could imagine.'
It was a great feeling to have, as Zain comfortably sat across the seat from him.
"Congratulations." Humfree said, lifting both arms wide. "You are indeed a very special person, and who would have thought you were hiding so many things from us, but let me start by saying I don't blame you, in fact I applaud you for hiding your powers because you are exactly the type of person we need."
Zain was ready for the onslaught of questions about his powers, and as he revealed more information, then Humfree would try and figure out a way to use him. It was normal, it was just business.
"I only have one question for you, Zain." Humfree said. "
'Here it is.'
"Will you use your powers to defeat the demons no matter what?" Humfree asked.
Zain was slightly taken aback by the question. Wasn't he going to ask him how he was able to control the zombies, give him an ultimatum of him revealing his secrets or get kicked out of the Dark Zombies?
When thinking about the actual question though, Zain knew how strong and dangerous the demons were. Sure the zombies were a problem but from what he had gathered, it was only true for this city.
"I think getting rid of the demons is the top priority, and I will do that." Zain answered.
"Then great." Humfree said. "That is all I care about, not what powers you have, just that the two of us have the same goal. I am not the one in control of you, you control you, just like the other Dark Zombies here.
"I am just doing everything in my power to get rid of the demons and if everyone is doing the same, then we won't get in each other's way."
It was an unexpected scenario but it actually was one Zain was more pleased about. He wondered if Humfree did know the truth whether he would change his tune, because once the demons were gone, with his powers then Zain could achieve much more, it was just that he wasn't that type of person, but to convince them that he wasn't.
"Once we've gotten rid of all the demons, will you then focus on making a cure, a cure for the zombies."
"Of course." Humfree answered immediately.
With that, their conversation was practically over. The two weren't friends, they weren't partners, but two who were working towards the same goal in the same area, and Zain much preferred that.
On his walk back, it made him wonder what he was to do, would he just continue to tag along with the Dark Zombies, or should he go looking for the others. His goal was originally just to get to the bottom of this. Which he had done, and now he was in a position to try and change things, especially with his power.
"Hey!" A voice called out.
Looking up, Zain could see that it was Carl in the hallway.
"At midnight, meet me around the back, I want to talk."
