"I believe you."
...
The Clevina family enjoyed a long-awaited period of peace.
After about three days, Helnason, who was far away in his hometown territory, carefully selected a large number of demi-human guards for Victor and sent them to the royal mansion.
Nearly a hundred bodyguards stood solemnly in the Clavner family's massive training ground, arranged in a square formation, awaiting orders.
The guards all wore hoods and cloaks, revealing only their eyes, each a different color.
They looked every bit the well-trained individuals.
Leon stood at the very front of the group and began to report to Leah:
"Miss Liya, everyone has arrived."
“They are all elite members who emerged from the training camp.”
However, Leon was somewhat curious.
Why did Miss Lia suddenly summon all these demi-human guards to the capital?
For the demi-humans, the capital city is a very dangerous place.
Here, they suffer even more severe inhumane discrimination.
There are strict laws stating that anyone can expel a demi-human from the country.
If they were to reveal their demi-human identities in the capital, they would likely face mistreatment.
Lia counted the number of people and nodded to Leon.
"Okay, let's line up first. We'll have to wait for Viktor to come over to find out what we need to do."
"Victor...?"
Leon was a little confused. What did this have to do with Victor?
However, soon, a man wearing a trench coat appeared in front of everyone.
The raven perched on his shoulder seemed to symbolize his identity.
Everyone recognized the person in front of them.
Victor Clevina.
The true masters of the Clevina family.
The moment he appeared, he seemed to bring a terrifying sense of oppression, pressing down on the heads of the demi-humans.
It was as if a terrifying monster capable of destroying the world was constantly scrutinizing them.
The guards all lowered their heads, not daring to meet the man's gaze.
But Viktor will not do as they wish.
"Lift all your heads up."
"Take off your hood, remove your mask, and look at me."
The words, spoken with an undeniable tone, resonated in everyone's ears.
Their bodies trembled slightly, and then they obediently took off their hoods and masks.
Their appearance and demeanor were fully displayed.
Victor looked at them calmly.
These demi-humans all have cat ears and dog ears on their heads.
Viktor watched them silently, and then, a massive magic circle suddenly appeared beneath his feet.
A pattern of intersecting crimson and emerald green light gradually spread across the sand, covering all the demi-humans.
A powerful light shot up from the ground, seemingly illuminating the entire training ground. The dazzling two colors shifted and moved across the earth.
Soon, a huge array, with complex patterns, began to converge from the edges toward the center.
All the demi-humans were inside the magic circle, feeling the extremely terrifying power, and a slight stinging pain came from their bodies.
Before Victor, the levels and health bars of these demi-humans appeared.
The average level is 25, but there are also demi-humans at levels 26 and 27.
They are all at the second-order level.
Hainerson has a good eye for talent.
Then, accompanied by the magic circle with astonishing power, the sky was gradually obscured by dark, gloomy clouds.
Ripples gradually rose in the sky.
It looks like something is falling down from there.
Everyone present couldn't help but look up at the corner that was peeking out from the ripples.
Those were sword blades and armor.
They shimmered with a faint light, falling from the sky like shooting stars, one after another, towards the earth.
It landed precisely in front of each of the demi-humans.
They lowered their heads in confusion, looking at the heavy armor and sharp blades in unison.
Seeing this, Lia couldn't help but squint her eyes and laugh out loud.
"Alright, now I finally understand what these weapons and equipment are for."
In the very center of the training ground, Victor's voice boomed like a giant bell, resounding outwards.
Do you want to become stronger?
The sound seemed capable of completely dispersing the dust in the air, and the gloom in the sky seemed to gradually dissipate under the loud noise.
Do you want to earn your own respect and no longer be discriminated against and oppressed?
In a daze, they seemed to hear something.
A sharp, hoarse voice overlapped with Viktor's.
Before them, the man's figure seemed to have undergone a slight change.
It was as if it had transformed into a giant, mysterious, pitch-black raven.
It flapped its wings, constantly blinking and fluttering.
It seemed to be telling some kind of mysterious divine revelation.
"Then follow me and worship me."
Suddenly, several black waterfalls began to rise from the earth, flowing backwards into the sky.
The clear sky after the clouds were dispersed gradually merged with the black waterfall.
They stared in shock at this bizarre scene.
It was like an illusion.
"Then--"
The moment the sound faded, an enormous single eye rose above the black waterfall flowing against the current.
A huge and terrifying single eye, with a narrow, elongated pupil.
It was as if he was looking them up and down.
In their eyes, their souls seemed to be twisted.
Only in my ears does that vast, empty voice belonging to the gods constantly echo.
"—Faith is my bond!"
