Devoured Eccentric 21 Disbelief

Madison felt a terrifying glare from them.

Before she could even try to move, a disc took shape around her neck.

"Stay. There." Those look in those eyes only grew more primal. A hint of disdain emanated, like a single glance from those eyes was enough to crush the pride of mighty men.

'Nero, you need to make your heart rate jump to 200 BPM or more, the mana needs to be refined as quick as possible or your circulatory system will collapse. YOU don't have TIME, do something NOW.' Nova knew Nero could push through this if she came into control but she wanted to determine whether Nero was suitable enough to walk the path of mortal danger at every step of the way, to become a G.o.d.

She felt a bit worried, if Nero couldn't push his body to its limits there was no way he was going down that path.

Nero felt pain from throughout his body, even suppressing it wasn't enough. HE knew what he had to do.

Mental fatigue greatly increased one's heart rate. The lack of energy had to be fulfilled and a heart rate spike was the way to do it.

With all the strength he could muster, he jumped.

With the inhuman mana ramping inside his body, his body reached 5 meters from the ground.

He tried something he was never told to, not until he reached slayer rank.

He tried to levitate with mana.

Mental tremors shook his mind to the core, underneath his body, a long mat of mana formed.

Since his own mana naturally phased through his body, only his clothes could stay in the air, for which he created the mat.

He expended as large an amount of mana he could, his heart rate had reached over 150 and now he was about to step onto his own mana.

He descended downwards with great force, ready for the ma.s.sive load of feedback he was about to get from the force being applied on his mana.

STRETCH

The outer hard structure of the mana sheet crumbled quickly, the underneath, structured as coils to handle force, had a load of strain on top. The sheet was really trying to hold the boy's weight, all while floating in the air, meaning there was force applied towards the ground as well to stay afloat.

"AGHH!!!" Nero growled, his heart rate had reached 200. His heart was close to exploding apart, his veins were clearly bulging through his skin, the veins were pulsating iridescent red, slowly turning to a deeper and deeper shade, until...

It turned to a clear light orange.

And with the eventual turn, the mana sheet lowered to the floor, and diffused away with the chilly wind, leaving behind a glowing child, a bright orange fog started to permeate through the body.

Madison was left shocked beyond words or description.

Right in front of her eyes, a Hunter level child had eaten the Dan of a beast, then threatened to kill her, then did some really weird s.h.i.+t, and then now, finally, was sprawled on the floor, turning into a Slayer.

Nothing ran through her mind, nothing.

Not a single question, or thought, she was simply that stunned.

'...-O, ... ero! NERO!'

Nero felt his consciousness jerk awake. The sudden head thumping feeling a.s.saulted him, similar to when he had first woken up.

'I'm...okay, I think.' Nero responded back, clutching his dome hard.

'Goodness, you're okay! I'll give you time to settle, that was very dangerous back there.'

Nero felt extremely out of breath, his body was heaving so hard, he felt like his ribs might break.

Taking his time, he plopped himself on the trunk of a large oakwood tree.

'I feel so f.u.c.ked right now, just tell me the improvements and compare my body to previously and to an average adult.' Nero was not expecting that at all, he thought it wouldn't take any extra requirements to process the Dan as it did the meat. He was quite clearly misjudging the rampant energy from even a mostly dissipated Dan.

'I'm a slayer already?' Nero didn't have a clue about how he could become a slayer, he'd been stuck as a peak hunter. He'd asked the King but his answer was a riddle, not even Nova could understand. Nero knew, if Nova couldn't a.n.a.lyze it, it was bulls.h.i.+t.

'Greatness bows when the predator understands the prey' or some bulls.h.i.+t like that was what the king said. Either he broke the barrier differently again, or the king was trying to create a placebo.

'He probably got into a sticky situation or something, like me.'

'Also, she's just... staring at me. How am I supposed to deal with this?'

'She knows you're a slayer, I say we just leave her, who's gonna believe a child aged 7 would reach slayer?' Nova really didn't want unnecessary bloodshed, Madison now held absolutely no threat to them.

With his new perception speed, Nero could easily block a scythe from Madison, even if he was sneak attacked. He also had brawn far beyond an average man.

'I dunno... I could just deny anything and everything she says, even if she tells people that my aura can confirm it, we can just hide it. That's why we're the best duo, the chief thinks it's impossible to conceal your aura once you let your pores naturally emit mana, for us though, porous control is easy as breathing, we could just emit skilled basic mana like what the chief thinks we have.' Nero started to conform with the idea of just having her show them her moves, then leave her alone.

His level of talent was unprecedented, no one would ever believe that a child could even begin on the path of magic, much less become a SLAYER. Even known prodigies like the n.o.bles took 50 years to reach there, how could a village boy even fantasize reaching such a milestone.

They now have a plan ahead of them, to steal the skill of Madison and go on forward on their journey.

"Alright. Show me everything you know." Nero instantly formed glowing orange discs in the air, emanating an a.s.sertive force on its surroundings, like an overlord in control.
