The Greatest Sinner

"A new race..." Mumbled Evan and said. "Even though Giel has become much stronger, I think the way forward is incredibly difficult. The closer his strength gets to his limit, the closer he will become the first member of a new race. But, I can't even begin to put into words how difficult it is to create a new race. It's something beyond comprehension."

Rave nodded, "Yes, I will be trying to modify the potion and add new blood types to it. Right now, my subordinates are looking for people with special body constitutions. Speaking of which, if you meet someone like that, I'll pay you handsomely if you provide me with that person or their blood."

"Understood, but I don't think I could get something like that. There are very few people with a unique body constitution. Moreover, something tells me that if another type of blood is added to the potion, the effect won't be as amazing as it is now." Proclaimed Evan looking at Giel.

"Yes, the closer to the limit, the more imperceptible the effect will be, but it's there. Okay, I didn't expect this experiment to go this far anyway, and it's not over yet. Initially, I thought that they would die because of the monsters' blood, but no. It turned out much better than I thought it would. I want you to see how strong Giel has become." Said Rave and clapped his hands.

At the exact moment, the second skeleton brought out a monster of rank zero. Giel didn't choose any weapon. He stared unemotionally at the fierce monster in front of him.

Rave gave the sign, and the skeleton let the monster go. It immediately attacked Giel, trying to tear him apart with its sharp claws. Giel continued to stand in place. At the last moment, Giel took a step to the side and the monster's claws passed within centimeters of his face.

In the next moment, Giel turned around and punched the monster with all his might. Giel's fist collapsed on the monster's head, and its head instantly exploded like a meatball.

Giel shook his hand, shaking off the clinging blood, and looked calmly at Rave.

Evan was shocked. Giel had also managed to defeat the monster the last time, but then he had acted gradually and cautiously. Moreover, last time Giel was armed with a 4-star shield and sword. But now, he just decided everything by brute force. He didn't use any strategies or tactics but smeared the monster on the ground with one single blow.

"Surprised?" Asked Rave.

"Of course, I didn't expect his strength to be at that level. I think he could even fight first rank monsters for a while." Said Evan.

"You're right, but you underestimate Giel. Yesterday he fought a pretty weak but still first rank monster. Giel took advantage of the equipment and got a lot of wounds. He even lost an arm. But, he managed to win." Rave said with pride in his voice.

"That's impressive. I didn't expect something like that to be possible. Giel has really become times stronger than all the other people."

At that moment, Evan thought, <Hmm, he was able to defeat a Rank One monster. That means that the Rank = 1.1 parameter is enough for a human to fight a first rank monster. Of course, Giel used a weapon and was wounded, but what matters is the result>.

From Giel's example, Evan began to understand how Mammon's Gaze determines a target's strength. It was useful information that would help him in his own experiment.

"Evan, I know you want to go to the Demonic Tree base to join us as soon as possible. But, I want to show you something else." Said Rave and went to the room where Giel was.

Rave said, "Giel, don't go away. I want to check something else."

Giel nodded, and Rave snapped his finger. One of the skeletons removed the monster's corpse. Rave then led Evan into the room where all the monsters were. There were more than a thousand of them there. Normally, these fierce monsters would growl and try to get out of their cages. But when they saw Rave, they immediately went silent. 

His aura alone was enough to make the monsters' instincts tell them not to make too much noise. Otherwise, they could have been killed in the blink of an eye.

Rave took Evan to the back of the room, where there was a large cage. But, in it were not monsters, but humans, or rather light mages from weak light organizations.

There were five girls and five men in the cage, each of them a novice mage. Compared to Rave and Evan, they were no stronger than insects.

Rave opened the cage, grabbed one girl by the hair, and dragged her back into the main hall.

"Why do you need these mages?" Asked Evan.

"I use them as living weapons. These idiots thought they were all-powerful and decided to attack the one village I sometimes take people from for experiments. Initially, I wanted just to kill them, but then I realized I could use them." Said Rave.

He threw the girl on the floor in front of Giel and said stiffly, "Cast some spell and attack it."

The girl nodded, and the next moment her Warp spun. A few seconds later, her hands glowed. She put them together and directed a beam of light into Giel's chest.

She was a novice mage, and her attack could have wounded a monster of rank zero. But, Giel was still human, though very strong. Moreover, he didn't defend himself at all and calmly looked at the beam flying in his direction.

Bam.

The spell slammed into Giel's chest, but he took no damage. All the girl's spell was able to do was cut the hair off his chest.

"Understandably, his body has become much stronger. His strength, speed, defense, and reflexes have already surpassed those of rank zero monsters. It's incredible." Concluded Evan.

"Exactly, okay, Evan, you should go. I won't keep you any longer." Said Rave.

Evan nodded and headed for the exit.

Rave had to use weaker mages because if he attacked Giel with even a zero level spell, he would tear Giel's body apart. His mana concentration was at an enormous level.. Giel could fight monsters of the first rank, but Rave was a level beyond his reach.
