Chapter 332 Alister: Yo!
In response to Brandyn's refusal, Alister commented, "If you do that, you will alert Delia and the two traitors. The time you called for reinforcements, Delia would have already left."
Hearing Alister's comment, Brandyn asked, "What's your suggestion then?"
Anticipating Brandyn's question, Alister replied, "I'll use my trump card to have the power of a Grand Mage for sixty seconds. However, I can only use this once per day but this should suffice."
Hearing Alister's words, Brandyn was surprised and couldn't help but confirm, "You sure you aren't joking? That's impossible! Although our world barely knows about the capabilities of you Chaos Heroes, it's too wishful to have the power of a Grand Mage even just for one minute when you are only a 1st-Circle Mage."
"Even if you could indeed become a Grand Mage, does that trump card of yours have any side effects? If you don't know, I have also been assigned to protect the safety of you heroes aside from training you all. I can't allow any of you to die or be disabled."
In response to Brandyn's question, Alister nonchalantly replied, "Don't question my capabilities. I do what I want to do. I can do it because I can. If I can't do it, I won't say it. I don't lie."
"As for side effects, didn't I already say that I can only use it once per day? In other words, I can have the power of a Grand Mage for 60 seconds every day. That cooldown resets every midnight so even if I use that 60 seconds to become a Grand Mage at 11:59 PM, I can still become a Grand Mage at midnight." Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
Alister used his Chaos Hero class to his advantage. He knew that the Pope and King barely knew about the Chaos Hero's authority so even if makes some stuff up, they wouldn't doubt it much.
After all, the Pope had the capability of sensing the "Hero" within the heroes. So the Pope would at least know that he was a genuine hero and that's all that matters.
Furthermore, this so-called trump card of his could allow him to have a leeway in using his demigod power. He could also use it to indirectly threaten the King and the Pope to not do any funny business towards the heroes and him.
Delia didn't even care about maintaining her noble appearance as she cursed when noticing the surge of chaos-attributed mana outside the royal palace.
Nikui Noroi and Takahashi Ken who were in the same room as Delia could also detect the chaos-attributed mana not because they were powerful and had a wide perception range, but because the chaos-attributed mana was just too oppressive.
Furthermore, the chaos-attributed mana seemed to target them as its appearance alone had locked the surrounding space in Nikui Noroi's room, preventing Delia from teleporting outside and returning to her hideout.
Delia could detect that the chaos-attributed mana on Alister's body had the same scent as Zanna's chaos-attributed mana. After all, Alister used Zanna's Chaos Formation Technique to forge his mana core and mana circles.
Although Zanna rarely went out of the Mystic Forest, Delia could still know about it due to the demons being wary of Zanna. After all, Zanna was the only native inhabitant in this world who defeated a Demon King if the heroes ever failed.
The Dragon King could rarely defeat a Demon King and at most, he could only stall a Demon King until Zanna arrived.
Because of that, the demons never wanted to cross paths with Zanna. As long as a Demon King wasn't dumb, they would warn their demon army about Zanna's existence and that's why Delia recognized Alister's chaos-attributed mana.
Furthermore, it was a dead giveaway since there were rarely any mages or warriors who used chaos-attributed mana or aura. It was rare for someone to use the chaos element because having the magic affinity and aptitude for it was also very rare.
Although she couldn't escape from the room due to the chaos-attributed mana hindering her, Delia didn't give up yet and continued attacking the chaos-attributed mana in Nikui Noroi's room.
But before she could continue attacking it, Alister, Brandyn, and the rest of the heroes arrived in Nikui Noroi's room.
Looking at the desperate Delia, Alister smiled and greeted, "Yo!"
