Chapter 1203: New Powers
《Individual Fran has acquired Divine Energy Manipulation.》
Wow! Talk about perfect timing!
I never expected her to learn Divine Energy Manipulation in such a short ti!
No, perhaps it wasn’t such a short ti after all? Fran had constant exposure to divine energy through . Not to ntion how she sensed the power of the gods with Sword God Transformation and her blessing.
Each ti, she found herself suffering under the pressure of the power.
That’s not an experience most normal people will experience. In a sense, you could say Fran had undergone relentless Spartan training for divine energy usage. Perhaps her efforts bore fruit in our last battle.
Well, it doesn’t seem like that’s the only reason.
『Fran, did sothing happen while you were asleep?』
（Nn? Hmm? Soone showed up, maybe…?）
『Uh, don’t ask …』
（I felt like soone stroked my head while I was dreaming. Then I felt better.）
Did Fran encounter one of the gods in her dream? The Beast-Bug God, I guess. It seems she doesn’t really rember it, so there’s no point in dwelling.
『How’s your body?』
（I’m fine. I can move perfectly.）
『Good. We’ll make our stand here. Let’s settle things before nightfall.』
（Nn!）
Fran seed to be mitigating the damage from divine energy by channeling it to enhance her body. Maybe it’s similar to how divine-infused healing magic can fix divine-induced wounds.
She really mastered handling divine energy. Her enhanced senses must also be what allowed her to sense the enemy’s presence before us.
「Let’s go.」
『Alright!』
（Urushi, please take care of everyone.）
「Woof woof!」
Fran ventured out once more to protect the villagers.
As we soared through the sky, I transford into my heavy armor form once again.
『More superhuman soldiers, like I thought!』
（Nn.）
We could see nurous figures approaching at high speed from beyond the rain-drenched plains.
（They’re still in human form.）
『Yeah.』
The superhuman soldiers were sprinting at full speed, just like when they attacked Horna Village. It’s only a matter of ti until they catch up.
『We need to take down as many as possible while they’re still in this state.』
Our enemies clearly considered the superhuman soldiers to be expendable, especially since they can be turned undead after death. They’ll surely remove their limiters and go berserk once we show up.
Well, I cleaned up their bodies last ti, so those ones won’t be coming back.
We have to defeat them either way, so I don’t want to exhaust ourselves any more than necessary. The more important part is how many of them we can take down while they’re still weak.
Which ans our first strike is critical.
『Now then, ti to showcase our newly acquired magic.』
（Nn.）
Fran had a high compatibility with thunder magic, and we’ve taken down many foes using it. That said, it’s on the narrower side in terms of area of effect. If we want to take down a large crowd at once, Ekato Keraunos is the best spell we can manage.
In other words, thunder magic is more suited for single target, high damage.
That’s why we decided to spend my Self-Evolution Points, or I guess they’re called Growth Points now. Anyways, I used the points to boost a certain magic skill and learn new spells. One that excels in area attacks, with an attribute that complints Fran well.
I had already perford research into which spells were available for which attribute. So categories of magic were difficult to investigate due to the lack of publicly available information, but the one we chose was quite well-known.
After all, there was a very famous man specializing in this field. Any adventurer could hear all the details they wanted by visiting the guild.
『Guess we have Izario to thank for this.』
（Nn!）
『Alright, let’s do this!』
Fran went first.
「Pheeew!」
Divine energy was mixed into the mana forming her spell. Her casting speed, mana amount, and spell quality were all on a different level from before, perhaps due to gaining Divine Energy Manipulation.
Fran hasn’t reached the level where she can activate supre-tier spells instantly, but she’ll probably be able to do that with enough practice.
I can’t let my guard down, or she’ll surpass very soon.
『Give it all you’ve got, Fran!』
「Nn! Fla magic, giddo Fla!」
In response to Fran’s voice, a massive magic circle was drawn on the ground. Imdiately after, a small sun appeared out of the circle, and an imnse wave of heat annihilated everything in its vicinity.
The surrounding land boiled into lava, as any nearby soldiers and rocks were vaporized in the sheer heat.
The fireball itself was only a few dozen ters in size, but the scorching wave of heat impacted an area large enough to engulf a small town.
I recall seeing this spell during the battle between Ashwrath and the possessed Velria in Kranzel’s capital.
The power of Fran’s spell was comparable to Velria’s in her Divine Dragon Form. Divine Energy Manipulation was definitely enhancing the potency of Fran’s magic.
Her single spell killed over a thousand superhuman soldiers. Moreover, by deliberately aiming it at the right flank, we successfully pushed the superhuman soldiers toward the left flank. This allowed us to group them together for the next step.
After confirming the success of Fran’s spell, I also activated my own.
『Here’s the second supre-tier spell we’ve learned! Have a taste of this!』
（Master, you got this!）
I felt the spell’s activation draining a massive amount of mana. Reminds of when I first used Kanna Kamui. I’ll need more practice to master this one too.
Since it’s my first ti using it, all I can do is dump a flood of flas over a wide area. Well, that’s what I want to do right now, so it’s no problem!
『Level 10 Fla Magic, Surtr!』
A small mass of black flas appeared above the surviving superhuman soldiers, though only a few ters in size.
In terms of visual impact, it was not nearly as impressive as Fran’s giddo Fla. That said, the calamity triggered far exceeded anything giddo Fla was capable of.
The mass of black flas began dumping clumps of similarly black flas onto the ground. It gave an eerie and unsettling feeling, much like when one witnesses a person falling from a great height.
The ominous black flas gradually gained montum. It started pouring down like water from a faucet, ultimately falling to the earth in the form of a waterfall.
Might be my imagination, but I caught a glimpse of a large, grotesque entity crawling around within the dark blaze.
And once the flas reached the ground, they spread out like water overflowing from a table, engulfing everything.
It was silent. There were none of the usual sounds associated with ordinary flas.
The black flas quickly encroached the earth, snuffing out the life of anything it touched. Any superhuman soldiers enveloped by the black flas could do nothing to resist. The flas refused to be extinguished until it consud their lives completely.
If we had used this on an ordinary army, it would have turned into a hellish scene of wailing and agony. However, these were superhuman soldiers who felt no pain and uttered no screams.
The superhuman soldiers simply collapsed within the silent inferno, vanishing without a sound.
