Chapter 218 Something To Reveal

Erend and Billy immediately felt their bodies stiffen.

A twinge of shock ran through them until they couldn't help but stare at General Lennard with wide eyes.

"I know you must be in shock like that," the General said. "But this is exactly what happened. You must be wondering who the real person who has caused all this is. This man is the one."

General Lennard said that with a proud smile on his wrinkled face.

Erend tightened his jaw as he look at General Lennard.

The General spoke as if he had just shown them something amazing. Something that is an extraordinary thing that he has earned with pride.

The General didn't look like he was thinking about the price Erend and Billy's friends have to pay because of that man.

But Erend couldn't let himself get out of control now.

He had to restrain himself from punching General Lennard right in the face now. And that is an extraordinarily heavy effort.

Erend didn't even notice that his hands were clenched on his thighs. He only realized it when his palms ached from being pricked by his fingernails.

Erend released his fist with a deep sigh to calm himself down.

"Where is he now, sir?" Erend asked.

Billy glanced at Erend realizing the cold tone of voice that came from his words.

In his heart, Billy prayed that Erend would not turn into that monster and tear General Lennard's body apart.

Billy also knows how Erend feels because he feels the same way.

General Lennard looked completely unconcerned about the lives he wasted because that man stole something from Elf. And he even shows him as if he is a very meritorious figure.

Billy also felt rage like Erend. But they both knew better than to let that rage out. At least not now.

"About that, I can't tell you just yet. Where he is hidden is still a top secret. I'm just telling you what you will deal with sometime in the future for now," General Lennard replied.

After that General Lennard started playing the video. In the video, the man referred to as subject number 0 stood still for a few moments in the middle of the large field.

A moment later a voice was heard. They suspect that the voice came from behind the camera that recorded it.

- "The first trial of the Project Apple experiment will begin. Subject number 0, are you ready?" asked a lazy voice.

The man - subject number 0 - just nodded.

- "Alright. Please start, subject number 0."

A few seconds later, a silvery glow began to appear around the man's body. Like strands of thread created freely from empty air.

Erend and Billy recognized the Magic. What they saw in the man looked almost the same as what they saw in Aurdis, Saeldir, or Aerchon.

The two of them immediately had the assumption that the man might have the same power as the three Elves.

Every Elf seems to have a special color that distinguishes their Magic from the others.

Even though there are some Elves who emit different colors when using their Magic. There is still a difference that they always felt when the different Elves cast Magic individually.

Erend and Billy kept watching the video and kept their thoughts to themselves.

Subject number 0 then spreads his hands to the sides. A strong wind suddenly blew and formed a body-height whirlwind on his right and left sides.

Within the whirlwind, there was also something like a silver thread that hooked itself into the whirlwind.

The threads of silver light seemed to weave the wind to form a whirlpool just as the man wanted.

- "Is this enough?" the man asked while looking at the person behind the camera.

No answer came for a few moments. It was as if whoever was standing holding the camera was frozen.

Only a few moments later after subject number 0 called him again, the man holding the camera returned his call.

- "A-Ah, I want to try something again. Can you withstand bullets?" the man behind the camera asked.

- "Of course."

Hearing that, Erend and Billy frowned at the same time.

'Isn't the Magic power of the Elves become weaker in this world?'

The question arose in the minds of each of them. But what they saw proved something different from what they knew before.

The man behind the camera orders someone to shoot subject number 0.

A man carrying a gun comes and points his gun at subject number 0.

Subject number 0 created a Magic shield in front of his body.

- "Are you sure about this, sir?" the man holding the gun asked.

- "Of course. Just shoot him," answered the man holding the camera.

The man then fired his gun at subject number 0.

*BANG!*

The bullet that came out of the gun stopped when it hit the Magic shield and fell onto the concrete.

- "Amazing! This is amazing!" the man behind the camera exclaimed.

Subject number 0 undone his Magic shield then looks at the camera.

At that time, General Lennard stopped the video and turned the monitor back on him.

"You guys have any questions?" General Lennard asked.

"Last we knew, the Magic power of the Elves will be greatly weakened when they are in this world, sir. They can be killed with bullets beforehand," Billy said.

General Lennard nodded. "That's right. That's if what you saw was the Magic power of the Elves. But what you see now is the Magic power of a human."

Erend and Bill gasped at this.

"What do you mean, sir? Has that man become a human who has mastered Magic?" Billy asked.

"Yes. After living with the Elf for so long, that man can master Magic, and the Magic blends well with his body."

"Because he is a native of this world, he can use Magic without limits in this world. Unlike the Elves."

They looked at each other with eyes that reflected shock and confusion.

General Lennard has just revealed something very surprising to them.
