The Author's POV

It all should've ended with a swipe of my hand…

That was what, Mercurion, a Marquis ranked demon thought as he swiped down at the human before him.

He had a rather strong body.

One that was difficult to break with a single attack and that required quite a bit of strength, in spite of him being a rank lower. Even so, it should not have been impossible for Mercurion to overcome.

In the end, orcs had a similar level of toughness and he was easily able to kill them.

Clang—!

Mercurion was taken aback when he felt his claws strike something solid and felt a vibration emanating from his hand as a result of the impact.

"What's going on?"

He wondered aloud as he lowered his head to look at the human.

At this precise moment, Marcurion was astounded to see that the human's body had turned completely black, and thin yellow lines began to appear around the human's body.

They glowed a faint tint of yellow and brought rise to an indescribable sense of oppression.

'What's going on?'

Mercurion stared in disbelief as he sensed that something was off about the situation.

Bang—!

Before he could even begin to make sense of what was happening, he felt a strong force envelop his entire body as he was pushed several meters backward.

"Hyak!"

"Haaa…haaa…"

'It hurts!'

As Hein laboriously gulped for air, he was suddenly overcome with excruciating pain throughout his entire body.

Particularly, he was able to feel the throbbing and searing pain in his veins, making it hard for him to even utter a couple of words.

Nonetheless, with the pain came an indescribable amount of power.

"Aaaakhhh…"

Hein yelled out in agony as the muscles in his right hand began to twitch in an uncontrollable manner.

He was starting to lose focus and his vision was starting to blur.

The pain was that intense.

'Damn it ...I didn't expect to use this so early into the war.'

Hein muttered a curse under his breath as the shaking in his right knee and the growing darkness in his vision continued.

'Remember Hein, don't ever use it unless you're in danger. Since you are only learning about the body part, using it will result in excruciating pain that will make you want to commit suicide.

Hein started recalling a few words Han Yufei had told him in the past.

'Not only that, since you haven't fully mastered it yet, the pain will be even worse than I can describe...remember, don't ever use the Gravar style unless your life is really in danger.'

"Haha...I should've listened to him."
