Julian was convinced that he had won.

When it came to Natalie, I used a tame amount of Yin magic, just enough to knock her out.

‘In the unlikely event that there are any after effects… Because of that carelessness, Natalie cornered me. But I’m not going to go easy on Owen.’

It was none of Julian’s business what happened to him.

Even if Owen became a cripple, it didn’t matter from Julian’s point of view.

With Owen restrained, Julian touched his forehead.

And then heI used Yin magic—mental destruction.

Yin magic is magic that is also used for torture.

It can destroy a person from the inside out.

The magic is so powerful that it could cripple anyone with a weak mind.

‘I’ll put that on Owen.’

Then, Owen’s body relaxed with a gulp.

‘…… I win.’

Julian removed the darkness that had covered the hall.

It was to show the ref that Owen was down.

When the darkness cleared, Julian stood looking down at Owen.

The result is obvious when you look at this state.

From the audience, Natalie can be heard shouting, “Get a grip, Owen!”

“It’s a done deal.”

Julian said to the judge.

‘…… Disappointing, isn’t it?’

I didn’t think Owen was as good as this.

Certainly, the power of each and every magic, including 【Ifrit】, is strong.

And in general, including the fact that he can use flight magic, Owen can be considered a genius.

But that’s about it ・・・・・・.

I was disappointed that Owen was that good.

So, Julian considered Owen to be an elephant in the room and decided that it didn’t matter if he was broken.

The ref made sure Owen didn’t twitch.

“Winner…”

He was about to declare Julian the winner—that’s when.

“——- Gahhhhhhhhh!!!”

Owen, who had collapsed, suddenly let out a strange cry that echoed throughout the hall.

‘Don’t tell me you were still conscious after … that? No, that’s not possible ….’

The magic that Julian used is something that can make even an adult fall into a coma in an instant.

He must have reaped consciousness.

“Aaaaahhhh!”

Owen instantly got up, turned his body around and howled at the sky.

“Have you lost … your reason, …?”

Julian looked at Owen.

Owen’s mood was different from earlier, and there was a sense of ferocity coming from him.

Bloodshot eyes.

Owen breathed out wildly like a beast.

His hands are dangling and his body is curled up like a hunchback.

It was something that was not Owen—it was like a demon without reason.

As he was analyzing Owen’s figure, Owen quickly closed the gap between him and Julian.

“Shadow.”

Julian moved several shadows at the same time and bound Owen’s arms with the shadows.

If you’re not rational, you’re easy to catch.

But…

“Guwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Owen tried to force the shadow away from him, as if he’s willing to break his arm.

‘Have you been crippled …? Or are you saying you had a … monster in your body?’

Either way, from Julian’s point of view, it doesn’t matter.

A monster that can’t think is not an enemy.

Julian let the shadows cling to Owen’s entire body, restraining him.

The best way to get a monster to listen to you is to make him learn …… pain.

“Spear of the Purple Den.”

A lightning-clad spear appears.

And against Owen, who was entangled in the shadows.

“Go.”

He fired his spear.

—Dasaa.

Shiden’s spear pierced Owen’s shoulder.

Then, falling limp, Owen said nothing, as if he were an empty shell.
