"This is not everything yet!"
I quickly summoned twenty Fenrirs at once, which quickly emerged from his shadows and began biting through all of his body at once, trying to tear apart his skin.
However, the wolves' fangs quickly shattered, they couldn't even damage the man's skin at all!
I summoned Spores, five of them, even through their combined Skills, the Hero simply shrugged it off! His ability to resist poison was immense!
No… Was he immune to it?!
I summoned twenty Blood Zombies, merging them into Flesh Walls and then wrapping them around the Hero, quickly making the Flesh Walls detonate right after that!
And as if that wasn't enough, I gathered the power I had within my spear, fusing Eleanora's intent and her Weapon with it and fell towards Dylan from above!
The darkness and blood converged into the shape of a ferocious dragon as all my equipment resonated with it, boosting its power even more. Henrick and Saphira suddenly emerged as well, giving me their Spiritual Power!
"Master, take our power!" Henrick said.
"Beat him papa!" Saphira roared.
"Abyssal Spear Arts: {Abyssal Dragon Meteor}!"
The Abyssal Dragon made of my converged power roared, engulfing the Hero into this powerful, all-consuming attack that combined the strongest aspects of Gluttony with everything else I had at my disposal!
A black and red explosion reverberated across the entire arena, reaching the skies.
I felt like my spear finally pierced through something.
I opened my eyes amidst the chaos I had provoked, finding the Hero standing there, unscathed.
His clothes were torn off, and I was piercing through the floor below.
"Hahaha! That was amazing, boy! I didn't thought you could fuse with your spirit! Incredible, you're very strong! I think you could even be compared to a Rank 4 when you went completely all out." He said with a smile. "But I bet you can't do that too often, right?"
And then, I fell to my knees in exhaustion. Eleanora's fusion was quickly deactivated. Over all this time I've trained enough to be able to not pass out after the fusion, but the exhaustion was so severe I might as well pass out at any moment.
Just looking at his carefree face pissed me off. This bastard lived through all of that like nothing and even laughed back as if we were good friends now…
"Me? A monster? Haven't you seen yourself in a mirror buddy?" He laughed back once more. "I guess that's it, huh? You kind of knocked yourself out though…"
Hero Dylan smiled back cheerfully as he saw me over the floor.
He pissed me off so much I wanted to crush his face.
I have to admit it, he's strong.
I can tell he's someone that could be shielding all of humanity against the Demon Invasion from the Northern Continent, which the demons took over several years ago.
I quickly saw all my friends rushing to my side, Elizabeth quickly began using her healing magic over my wounds and my exhausted body.
"Idiot! Why did you went all out like that?!" She asked angrily.
"I'm fine… you're exaggerating- Ugh!" I quickly reacted to Elizabeth's grip over my arm.
"You're just being reckless all over again!" She said angrily.
"Ah… Okay, sorry." I sighed.
"That was awesome! But yeah, you were being reckless!" Erika said. "I trusted you wouldn't go all out and then you went and did it!"
She also had healing powers now, Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive!
Honestly speaking, the wounds Dylan caused over my body were so sever even my self-regeneration and healing couldn't keep up with it.
"You're insane man." Chris sighed.
"Blake, don't pass out now!" Eric cried.
"That was awesome, but yeah, you're a bit too crazy…" Erdrich said, crossing his arms.
I slowly felt better as I managed to sit down, looking around my surroundings and finding everyone around me. Evelyn had ran here covered in flames to hasten her speed.
"I should had stopped this! I am sorry!" She cried. "I was just… so focused in the fight! I wanted to see Hero Dylan's strength… As an instructor I should had cared more about your safety."
"Well, don't worry about it!" Dylan laughed. "There's no way I would ever hurt him lethally. The moment I clashed against him that I saw through his strength, I calculated each hit."
To me it feels like he just got too involved in the fight and simply attacked with everything he had… but sure, let's think that way for now.
And as I was standing up, my Grimoire began shining brightly.

Lucifer never compensated me for anything.
Yet the Holy Spirits seem to be having a good time watching me struggle just like him.
Well, at least I know they're on my side.
So they can even gift me rewards if I do things that can "amuse" them, huh?
Interesting… I got a strange Phial filled with a golden liquid, gold coins, seem to be the currency of this world, and also bonus EXP worth two levels.
I guess being a Holy Spirit's chosen is not bad at all.
