Chapter 281

Chapter 281 Strongest Sage, Confronts Test Body

It wasn't obvious at first due to his normal mana reaction compared to [Warmongers]'–but little brother Anmorr has probably taken in the effect [Broken Star] .

The next experimental body after [Warmongers] is the little Anmorr himself–Lunat Anmorr .

" . . . You turned yourself into a test body huh . "

"But of course! There's only one body I understand most in the whole world, and that is mine! And with my mana as a base rather than other test bodies, it's far more stable than some plebs! Nothing else can compare as the best test body there is!"

"In addition I have been putting him under the necessary magic enchant for the past month . . . We can confidently say that it's our highest masterpiece . "

Experimenting on their own bodies huh, these guys are pretty zealous .

The past me had done something similar so many times as well .

. . . Going reincarnating in order to change my crest was the terminus of that .

Doesn't mean that I won't crush this experiment though .

"Good then, I can fight without worry . "

"Yeah . Go ahead and fight to your fullest . . . But hold on a bit, I need to set up data collecting magic tools first . "

Elder Anmorr cast multiple magic then .

Several magic tools got deployed all around the barrier that enclosed us .

" . . . Those are some fanciful equipment . "

I check the magic tools for any that can be used to attack while pretending to be impressed .

"Obviously! My big brother Saikia Anmorr is this world's best augmenter! This test facility is the culmination of his skill!"

. . . Best in the world huh .

Well, the work put on his magic circles is a bit loose, but perhaps that title fits considering the current world .

These equipment are more than adequate for collecting rough combat data .

That aside . . .

"You're not gonna fight the way you are now, are you?"

I asked the little brother Anmorr .

Right now, he's not been strengthened that much .

The unnatural mana reaction inside his body isn't acting like it's reinforcing human mana for now .

However, I've noticed the two magic stones embedded near little Anmorr's heart .

The reinforcement on this guy will probably go into effect once that magic tool is started .

I can't attack right now since there's a barrier between me and Lunat .

They probably intend to remove that barrier once he's done getting reinforced .

Although it's not like attacking over the barrier can't be done . . . But it'd be difficult to end the fight in one blow then .

Besides, elder Anmorr will probably regard it as an act of betrayal and join the fray .

So long as I cannot end the fight in one shot, I'd be forced to fight the two of them at the same time .

These guys are ancient mages for once .

It's not easy to win a frontal fight in a location set up by your enemy .

For now I should go along with the test, defeat little Anmorr and go after the elder one afterward .

. . . It would be best if they failed with the strengthening experiment and self-destruct though .

"Not fight they way you are now . . . huh . Correct . . . Lunat, are you ready?"

"I'm ready anytime you are! . . . Now, come and do it!"

"Understood . . . Activation!"

Once elder Anmorr declared so–a change occurred .

Little Anmorr's mana rapidly swelled up and began sucking up surrounding mana .

"T-this is the power of [Broken Star] . . . ! Ooh! I'm overflowing with power!"

Little Anmorr shouted with an enraptured expression .

Guess I can't count on him self-destructing due to failure .

I murmured when I saw that .

" . . . His life force is increasing . "

"Correct . . . You've got good intuitions . You may have talent in magic research . . . It's too bad that you have to die here . "

[Composite Test Body No . 1] was a fusion of ten people, acquiring enhanced strength by combining them .

However this [Strengthened Test Body No . 1]–little Anmorr isn't that different from ordinary human .

There's only one thing little Anmorr differs from ordinary human .

It's the fact that he possesses an unbelievable amount of life force unthinkable for mere human .

Life force is the root of all mana and physical strength .

Your mana and strength will automatically increase if you strengthen your life force .

This [Strengthened Test Body No . 1] has his life force increased through [Broken Star] that possessed, [Revival] which is in a way the strongest buff on life force, to create a reinforced human .

"Lunat, how's your intelligence, any problem?"

" . . . My thoughts are clear! There's no problem at all!"

"Very well . . . This is the culmination of our [Broken Star Experiment]–Strengthened Test Body No . 1 . We will now begin combat test as scheduled . . . Are you ready?"

Elder Anmorr looked at me as he said that .

Hearing that, I winked at the girls for an instant–and replied .

"Yea . "

"Well then, starting test . "

Elder Anmorr removed the barrier that separated me from little Anmorr .

And almost at the same time, little Anmorr deployed attack magic .
