CH 46

What lies beyond the present

『Oooooh!?　Oh!?　Ooーーーーーーー!?』

Seeing me changing my appearance right before his eyes, the dragon man becomes agitated

Right, my appearance has changed

The beast aura and holy wisdom aura were combined and gave birth to a brand new, higher level power

Its name is holy beast aura

The power of a beast with sacred intelligence dwells within

The sacred beast aura covers my whole body, influencing every single cell, boosting and pulling my whole body to a higher level

I have transformed

Grey Ryuuga was also transformed

The transformed figure that contains both wisdom and beast power……。

『Holy beast mode……！』

It’s called so

『What? That form is the transformation? You have really transformed!?』

The lizard man before me said

His appearance is ugly as ever

That ugly transformation doesn’t occur with my Holy beast mode

My body is covered by a pale holy aura, and my body itself emits light in response

The holy aura covered my body formed a faint beast silhouette based on my symbolic animal

In my case, it’s the mouse

It is too different compared to Grey Ryuuga’s beast mode

My holy beast mode look more divine than his, even I have to say it myself

I look like a divine beast descended to exorcise the demon (1)

Then, not just my appearance has changed……。

Shall I exorcise this monster?

『Egeoh!?』

One kick

Grey Ryuuga received my front kick and flew off without holding back

He collides with the wall the end of the plaza and bounced back

『Guoooo!? What is that just now? I was hit? No, it was a kick!?』

Perhaps it was too fast so he couldn’t realize what happened

『Gue……!?　Impossible, my body is creaking……!?　This dull pain is……!?　This body actually took damage?　This body, covered by steel-like dragon scales was……!?』

『Does it even have any meaning?』

Against my holy beast aura

Continuous attack. I did 2 or 3 more small hit, but this time he was unable to react too

『Gugaaaa!?　Damn you, don’t get cocky!　I am not that simple!』

Grey Ryuuga’s claws buzzed as he released the atrocious flying slash waves

『Beast Magic <Dragon death crush>!!』

Affected by beast mode, their power and speed are doubled

His current killing technique can destroy the imperial castle

However, the huge, violent decapitating slash waves dispersed and vanished just by touching my holy beast aura

『Hah……!?』

Even the empire’s strongest man opened his eyes wide upon seeing that

『My beast demon technique…… is not working? Even just a bit of damage? That is impossible……!?』

『It’s natural』

No matter how much power it has, its origin is still beast aura

It’s natural to be rendered meaningless against the superior Holy beast aura

『Holy beast mode is completely superior compared to Beast mode. In front of me in this mode, the half-human half-best you is nothing more than a small fry』

『You……, is this the reason you tried to acquire beast piece? To create a new power from crossbreeding the Holy wisdom power and evil beast power……!?』

The basis was put together under the 『Tanu-sage』

At the final stage of the training, I tried it out with the 『Tanu-sage』 as the opponent

Human is also a specie of animal, they own animal nature, albeit just a little

Even that tiny animal nature, when combined with Holy wisdom art, showed the power that even made 『Tanu-sage』 shock

However, the animal nature squeezed out as a human is too little

No matter how much Holy wisdom art used, the balance was always broken, the large holy beast aura can’t be created

That is why the beast aura is required

I returned to the empire, joined the army, won the selection meeting, became the Twelve Apostles and obtained the beast piece

The quantity is enough to be combined with the holy wisdom aura I cultivated under 『Tanu-sage』

『Kuooooooo!!』

Grey Ryuuga, who couldn’t accept the truth, used <Dragon death crush> and released flying slash waves again

His random attacks have the power not inferior to his previous attack, but they also vanished like mist upon touching my holy beast aura

Because I don’t even need to parry them so not too much damage are caused

『Impossible, Impossible! Then how about this!? 　<Ex Riama>!!』

A giant fireball is shot from the dragon man’s hand

It seems the matter of course that the empire’s strongest can use the highest rank skill <Ex Riama> of the fire magic system <Riama>

Since the pure beast aura attacks are completely invalidated, it’s a wise decision to change to other means of attack

Magic attack also came as the first candidate as the alternative means

But……。

『That decision is naive』

You also saw the selection meeting, right?

Together with the emperor

Then you should have remembered it？

Seeing the mage trio’s attacks being invalidated by Holy Wisdom art <Absolute magic block>

『Gunu……!?』

『In Holy Beast mode, the sharpness of Holy wisdom art is increasing. I can activate the magic nullification state much faster and it can last as much as I like』

In other words, magic attacks are also meaningless

『……W, who the hell are you?』

『n!?』

『I, who was famed as the empire’s strongest, received the strongest beast piece, should be unrivaled and can’t be defeated by anyone. To even go beyond that, what is that power of yours!? And to be able to create that power, who the hell are you!?』

You don’t need to scream that loud

Both Holy beast aura and holy beast mode are not something I came up with by myself

I used the advantage called the memory of my previous life and chose an effective mean among them

As a matter of fact, Holy beast mode is a power that was properly introduced in 『Beast Fantasy』

But it starts from 『7』

The first time Holy beast mode is introduced to the player character is in 『Beast Fantasy 7』

In this world based on 『4』, it was hard to imagine such thing

Something like combining holy wisdom aura and beast demon aura

However, in the previous life, I have played until 『Beast Fantasy 11』, so I have the information of everything in 11 works

In order to survive in this world, I used them as my weapons without hesitation

For that, I studied under 『Tanu-sage』 and developed holy beast mode in this era, while it should be implemented in 3 works after this

Using this power, I can even twist the arm of Grey Ryuuga, the savage boss that has become all players’ trauma, like a baby

『Wisdom is strength. If you know what you should know and use it appropriately, mere violence is nothing』

I told you I will teach you the diversity of strength, right?

This is lesson 1 of it

Oh right, by knowing the later works of the series, I can do this too

『<Riama Hestia>』

『Eh? Guoooooo!?』

I released the maximum fire magic from my hand

Its firepower is far exceeding the <Ex Riama> Grey Ryuuga fired off a while ago

『Eh, <Ex Riama>!?』

Grey Ryuuga opposes by using a spell of the same system, but the power is too different

As the matter of course, Grey Ryuuga who fired off a weaker spell lost, he received the flame that wasn’t offset

『Gugyaaaaa!?　What is that gigantic fire!?　Is that fire magic!?　But in <Riama> system, there shouldn’t be any spell stronger than <Ex Riama>!　What the hell is that spell you casted!?』

『It’s <Riama Hestia>』

Stronger than <Ex Riama>, the ultra-high rank spell of <Riama> system

But it didn’t exist during 『4』

<Riama Hestia> was added in 『Beast Fantasy 9』, so until that time, <Ex Riama> was certainly the strongest spell of <Riama> system

It’s something impossible for this world

The strongest that exceed the strongest

If such a spell is shown to the human of this world, they have no choice but to be flustered

It’s like putting a person from the period where only horse carriage exist inside an automobile

『Stand up, empire’s strongest』

The fight hasn’t ended yet

There are lots of things I want to make the ignorant you know

『I still only use a portion of holy beast mode. It’s the power I created after many hardships. As a test run, I will check each of the technique with you 』

The holy beast aura in the shape of a divine mouse flickers fiendishly
