Roy observed the battle from his "God's Eye" perspective. The most powerful abilities in this world were "Divine Protections," but excluding "cheat" characters like Reinhard, the physical stats of humans and demi-humans generally hovered between Level 2 and Level 3.
By transferring 10% of his power, Roy had given Subaru the combat strength of a Level 2 with Grade A stats across the board. Theoretically, Subaru's numbers were close to Elsa's, but as a high schooler with zero combat experience, he couldn't win on stats alone.
Following Roy's commands, Felt scoured Rom's cluttered shop and quickly found fuel. The issue was how to douse Elsa with it while she moved with boneless agility, dodging Emilia's ice spears and reappearing beside Rom with a flurry of blades.
Crash! Rom, the giant, finally collapsed, his massive body hitting the floor with a heavy thud, barely breathing.
Desperate, Subaru cried out internally, "Lord Roy, I need more power!"
"The power you have now is at the limit of what your body can endure," Roy warned. "Increasing it further will be a massive burden."
"I don't care! I can take it!" Subaru looked at his fallen friends. He had to step up, or they were all dead.
"Fine!" Roy's lips curled into a smile. He was curious to see how far Subaru could go. He boosted the transfer to 20%, pushing Subaru to the level of a Level 3 adventurer.
As the surge of power flooded Subaru, his face flushed a deep crimson, as if he had overdosed on high-grade stimulants. His nose bled and his eyes turned bloodshot, but a terrifying strength radiated from him. He gripped Rom's heavy wooden club; under Roy's blessing, the massive weight felt light as a feather.
"Hah!" With a roar, Subaru launched himself like a rocket. The speed and force were several times higher than before. Elsa, caught off guard while attacking Emilia, was slammed by the club and sent flying.
Boom! She crashed into the counter, the wood splintering as the sound of snapping bones echoed. A single heavy blow had crippled her—the true charm of a "stat monster."
Subaru panted, a manic, triumphant grin on his face. Rom, Felt, and Emilia stared in awe. Did he eat some dragon's heart? How did he become so fierce?
"You can get even stronger? Wonderful!" Elsa licked her bloody lips, her face twisted in an eerie, beautiful madness.
"I have nothing to say to a freak who loves bowels. Die!" Subaru didn't hesitate. He grabbed a barrel of oil, lunged forward, and drenched Elsa. "Felt!"
Felt tossed a lit match. Upon contact with the oil, a pillar of flame erupted, engulfing Elsa. Despite the intense burning, the woman didn't scream. Her crazed eyes remained locked on Subaru.
"Arms broken? I have legs. Legs broken? I have claws and teeth!" Elsa lunged through the fire.
"I know!" Roy's voice rang in his head. Roy knew how insane this woman was; she would take a bite out of her enemy even if she only had teeth left. Subaru swung the club like a baseball bat, sending Elsa soaring. She landed ten meters away and finally succumbed to the flames.
"We won!"
Subaru collapsed as the power drained away, his body severely damaged by the strain of Roy's strength. Before losing consciousness, he heard his friends' frantic calls and closed his eyes with a satisfied smile.
Roy withdrew his gaze. The Falna wasn't something to be rushed; Subaru had barely survived the strain of Level 3 power. As his "tool" defeated Elsa, a reward panel popped up.
[Hunt Successful: Elsa Granhiert. Rank LV.2 -> LV.3. Reward: 300 Attribute Points + Potion Chest.] [Open Potion Chest?]
"Yes!"
[Obtained: 10x Low-grade Health, Mana, and Stamina potions; 3x Elixirs; 1x Low-grade Antidote.]
The rewards weren't massive for Roy's current level, but considering he earned them while lying in bed, it was a fantastic ROI. Using "proxies" was a very promising career path!
Standing up, Roy felt a wave of dizziness—likely the mental drain from "Divine Descent." It was roughly equivalent to casting seven or eight spells at once.
Status Update:
Level: 3
Strength: 1223 (SSS)
Agility: 1336 (SSS)
Dexterity: 1253 (SSS)
Endurance: 1062 (SS)
Magic: 896 (A)
He applied the points, and the gates to Level 4 were now practically wide open.
Knock! Knock!
It was late. Who would visit now? He opened the door to find Cassandra standing there, her head down and her body trembling.
"What's wrong?" Roy asked. Cassandra looked up, her face pale. "Mr. Roy... I had another dream."
