by fnovelpiaQuang-!! The monster jumped out of the open iron gate and hit its head on the wall of the stadium.
“Aaaak-!”
The audience, including Benny, screamed in shock. Even though it was clear that there were layers of protection magic in place, a clear shock was conveyed.
“······.”
The majesty of the monster silenced those who had negative views on Faust’s words, including McCollum.
“Well, I’m sorry.”
“Yes?”
“Didn’t you spout the same nonsense to someone fighting those monsters because you didn’t even know about them? I’m really sorry.”
The knight who had been talking about the demon as if it was no big deal just a moment ago bowed his head and apologized to the soldier on the wall. When I saw the horseman on the field, I realized how ignorant my words were.
“Well…it’s okay.”
The soldier accepted the driver’s apology without adding anything. I quietly swallowed the statement that not all demons beyond the barrier were at that level.
Everyone in the stadium was overwhelmed by the magical beast that appeared on the field. Sigh! Once again Faust snapped his fingers.
The screen in the center of the stadium switched once again. Dozens of patterns were floating in the air.
This emblem was the emblem of nobles who left their family home behind the castle walls after a war 100 years ago. Faust shouted loudly.
“The demons and Sophia, the traitor, took over the territory of the empire. Genevieve, Cadia. In addition, several families lost their original homes.”
“Do you plan to maintain this current situation in the future? Are you planning to pat yourself on the back by saying that the empire is still prospering while covering up potential dangers and burying the lost lands in a corner of your head?!”
Faust’s voice grew stronger. Meanwhile, several people stood up and shouted.
“Our Abid family also lost the land that our ancestors had cultivated!”
“We must get our land back. The sight of our ancestors’ tombs being crushed under the feet of demonic beasts is something we cannot just sit still and watch!”
Most of those who stood up and expressed their anger this time were nobles. They passionately expressed their shame and anger over losing their home base.
The cause of subjugation beyond the wall requires the support of nobles. Faust aimed for that point, and it worked.
People who came to the academic festival just to watch the battle between demonic beasts and humans have now become fanatics who have no doubt that the land beyond the wall must be recovered.
The inside of the stadium was filled with people’s enthusiasm, faith, and madness. The air trembled with people’s shouts.
“······.”
Seeing this, El folded her arms and quietly observed the situation.
‘···It’s too systematic.’
El also agreed with Faust’s words in many ways. However, the situation is very elaborately manipulated. As if everything had been planned and assembled one by one.
However, there were not many people left inside the stadium who doubted Faust. Even those who had negative feelings about the keyword ‘hardened human’ had no doubt that the land beyond the wall must be reclaimed.
“We will stab the dagger in the heart of their comrades with the by-products left behind by those demonic beasts. Isn’t that the best revenge?!”
The passionate audience was not silenced. Faust shouted in a strong and harsh voice, as if adding fuel to their emotions.
“So let me show you! Take the lead when reclaiming the land beyond the Wall! The best warrior!”
Faust shouted in a heated voice and lowered his raised arm.
Grumble. With Faust’s hand signal, another closed iron door scraped against the floor and opened.
And from that door, a man who looked very small compared to the demonic beast that had just come out walked out.
“···Junior?”
A man wearing a gas mask and a black coat. It was Revan.
***
“···Ha.”
Revan entered the stadium and sighed quietly. Enthusiastic crowd. A magical beast rolling its eyes in front of you. It was a familiar air and atmosphere.
A demonic beast the size of a house, looking like a forcibly combined elephant and a lion, rolled its eyes here and there as it observed Revan.
“Be gorgeous.”
Revan reflected on Faust’s orders for a moment.
Huh. Revan, recalling the direction of Faust’s spell, generated mana. The energy was unusual.
Something purple and ugly, too rough to be called mana, began to boil within Revan’s body. Soon, Revan stretched out his finger in the air.
“···Phew.”
Grumbling. A dark and ominous purple energy surrounded Revan’s fingers. Something slimy flowed in the air, as if purple blood was flowing in the air.
Revan took a deep breath and drew a circle with his outstretched fingers. A purple, ominous symbol was drawn in the air.
“Kuch-!”
The demon beast inside the duel immediately rushed at Revan. Although he lacks intelligence, his keen instinct for survival determined that Revan was an enemy that needed to be defeated immediately.
The moment the demonic beast attacked, Revan used all of his mana to strengthen his body.
Tsk-! The body of the demonic beast kicked by Revan’s foot flew through the air.
El was surprised at the overwhelming power and thought at the same time.
‘Revan’s mana core capacity is not that large. However, the level of physical strengthening shown is extraordinary compared to the capacity.
It is clear that this attack must have been done by squeezing out the mana that was used to strengthen the body for about ten seconds last time and putting it into one blow.
But, if you can deliver a blow like this this time, what do you plan to do next?’
While El was lost in thought, the demon beast stood up, shaking its head.
“Keheesss!”
However, the magical beast’s condition was somehow strange. Blood was pouring out of his mouth and he was writhing in pain.
There was nothing special about the kick from earlier. It was simply an attack born of powerful force. It was an attack that a normal demonic beast would have quickly regenerated and brushed off.
There was one change in the magical beast that was writhing in pain, different from before.
“···What is that?”
El’s gaze turned to the beast’s head.
The symbol that Revan had drawn in the air earlier was drawn on the forehead of the rolling demon beast, glowing purple.
And the magic power of the demon beast was being sucked towards Revan. McCollum, seeing that, shouted.
“Putting magic power into the human core!”
***
There is one thing wrong with El’s guess. The capacity of Revan’s mana core is not small. Rather, it is vast.
However, Revan’s core does not normally fill up with mana. This is because of the restrictions imposed on Faust for survival.
The content of the restriction is simple. Revan’s mana core is like a jar with a hole in it.
Therefore, in normal times, mana cannot fill the core and leaks out. This is why Revan cannot normally use body enhancements at maximum output.
However, the ability of the owner of the magic stone embedded in Revan’s mana core made it possible.
Arachne. In the form of a spider, he grew in size by sucking mana and magic regardless of race, including humans and fellow demons. He was Sophia’s best confidant and the worst and strongest demon of all time.
Arachne’s core has been transplanted to Revan. The biggest characteristic and advantage of an enhanced human with a transplanted core is that it can use the abilities that the owner of the core had when he was alive.
So, the moment Faust obtained the material called Revan, he put aside the blueprint for mass production and began designing only for Revan.
I don’t think about efficiency. The output of body strengthening is unconditionally increased to the maximum without considering fuel efficiency.
The mana required for this is used by absorbing the magic power of the demonic beast and refining it. There is no need to worry about mana consumption as long as you can refine the vast amount of magical power that the demonic beast possesses.
A normal person’s body would fall apart, but it doesn’t matter. Revan’s regenerative ability supported his body.
Even if water leaks from a jar with a hole, the jar can be filled by pouring more water than the amount leaking.
It was a simple, ignorant design, and the design came off shockingly.
***
The magical beast’s enormous magical power was being sucked into Revan’s mana core and refined.
For a normal human being, the moment he accepted magical power, his body would have burst like a balloon.
However, Revan did not show any abnormal symptoms. Eventually, all that magical energy was freely used to strengthen the body.
Those who faced Revan in the flag drawing, including Arhan, Benny, and Sonia, felt it. The physical enhancements back then were nothing more than child’s play compared to what is shown now.
Hehehe! The demonic beast’s screams filled the hall. Revan was beating the demon beast with his bare body, without any weapon in his hand.
-······.
The crowd was shocked by the shocking sight. Instead of fighting against the demonic beast through strategy and cooperation, they were simply crushing the demonic beast the size of a house with overwhelming force.
‘···How many soldiers do we need to catch that guy?’
Watching Revan strike down the demonic beast with his bare body, the soldier on the wall quietly played the abacus in his head. At least 40 of them were enough to even attempt to subdue them.
“Money profit…”
I don’t know how many minutes it had been under Revan’s fist, but before I knew it, the demon beast was hunched over in a corner, looking at Revan, as if it was scared.
“Your body is as big as a house…”
Revan muttered in bewilderment at that sight. He pretends to be pitiful, but he was caught crushing people on the wall.
Faust said that the demon beasts were not intelligent, but Revan, who fought them directly, thought differently. There was something unpleasant about them, like they were imitating humans.
“Tsk.”
Revan clicked his tongue and stretched out his hand into the air. I opened the inventory and put my hand inside.
Wow-! The outstretched hand entered the intangible space and grabbed his beloved bottle. A huge, pitch-black halberd that did not reflect light, like deep darkness, was held in Revan’s hand.
