Corlum

Rose, who did not understand anything about what was happening, followed Lanaery's gaze.

"!?"

She was very surprised to look up and see what was above her head.

In addition to being shocked by the fire woman in her head, she also felt that her heart and forehead were so hot that she thought they were burning!

After ten seconds. The room that had taken on the color of this strange yellow flame returned to normal.

Huff! Huff!

Lanaery watched as Rose sweated as if she had been running for hours without stopping to rest.

Although she was still shocked by the form that Rose's hero heart took. Lanaery approached Rose, and with her hand wrapped in a fine white light, touched her head.

"Ah..."

Rose instantly felt her body being bathed in a cool substance that chilled her body.

"As your body is not that of a hero who from birth already begins to acquire resistance to its element, I have to heal the burn wounds on your body every day."

"If I don't, it would be really tragic for you to be turned to ash by your element."

Lanaery said while remembering the time similar cases happened.

Once, someone from a race that looked like a combination of a bird and a wolf, basically a winged wolf, paid a hero to create a hero heart for them.

This stupid winged wolf ignored the hero's advice that they had to find a hero with the same element or a Saintess to reduce the strain that their newly created hero heart was bringing to their body.

A few days later, that winged wolf was found in their house, turned into a tree with pretty flowers around...

A typical accident that happened every few days in the Sacred Origin.

Lanaery explained this to Rose so that she would know what could happen to her body if she relaxed and decided that receiving her treatment was unnecessary.

"Don't worry, master Suries. For me, your words are heavenly!"

Rose said with eyes full of adoration towards Lanaery. After seeing all the miracles Lanaery had done, even if she ordered her to throw herself into a sea of flames, she would do it without hesitation!

"Now then, let's talk about your training."

A look of compassion appeared in Lanaery's golden eyes. She, who had been trained by her teacher since she was very young, knew that for a beginner who had never trained her body, the training that she had in store was going to be very difficult.

Rose didn't notice Lanaery's look and nodded happily, wanting for the training to start as quickly as possible.

"First let's see what state your body is in."

Thirty minutes later.

Rose was on her knees with her eyes looking at the ground as if she had done something wrong.

Just by looking at Lanaery's expression of extreme disappointment. It was more than obvious what was going on.

"A Novice Hero who has never trained his body only needs seven seconds to run a hundred meters."

"Instead you... You needed a whole minute and almost passed out from exhaustion."

Lanaery continued to criticize Rose's poor physical condition. She looked at the barbells around the room, many with the ability to hold up to half a ton of weight on each side.

These weights were purchased by Rose a few minutes ago when Lanaery told her that she needed something that weighed several tons.

Rose, with an innocent look, bought them without knowing that Lanaery actually wanted her to lift several tons...

"It wouldn't be a problem if we had to start with a few kilos of weight on the sides, since it's normal with your miserable body. But seriously, can't you at least lift the bar without any weight?"

Rose turned her head cutely to the side to avoid seeing Lanaery's disappointed eyes.

"No stamina, no strength, and no speed. You're worse than a five-year-old hero."

"F-five years?"

Rose couldn't accept that a five-year-old was in better physical shape than her.

Lanaery thought about what she said for a moment and corrected herself, "I was wrong there. I'm sorry."

A relieved expression appeared on Rose's face.

"Your physical state is more like that of a two-year-old hero."

"?"

Seeing Rose's incredulous expression, Lanaery smiled and said, "Although the beginning is going to be much more complicated than I thought, I already have in mind how I should train you."

"Master Suries, according to the shape of my hero heart which is a spear. Does that mean you are going to teach me how to fight with a spear?"

Rose asked with great expectation on her face.

"Teach you to fight with a spear?"

Lanaery frowned slightly and said, "After a little training, it would be normal to teach you how to use the weapon your hero heart tells you to use."

"But for you... I don't think you're even qualified to fight with your fists right now, let alone use a spear with a bit of physical training."

Another sharp verbal jab that made Rose's heart tremble was delivered by Lanaery.

"...T-then, what do I have to do?"

Rose asked in confusion. She still looked at Lanaery, hoping that she would give her some amazing training that would make her invincible!

"Good question. As I told you before, I already have the perfect training for you!"

"You just have to train every aspect of your body twenty-four hours a day."

"Easy, isn't it?"

"..."

Rose looked at Lanaery speechlessly. She felt that since a while ago, she couldn't keep up with what Lanaery was talking about.

"Twenty-four hours a day? So when can I eat, shower, or sleep?"

Said Rose, thinking that what Lanaery said was a joke.

"That's the easiest part. I just have to use my divine power to purify your body, making it even cleaner than using water to wash it."

"Not only can my divine power cleanse your body, but I can also make you not have to eat indefinitely as long as my divine power remains in your body."

"Finally, it's the same with sleep. I'm going to make sure you don't have to sleep until you have the physical fitness of a Novice Hero."

A chill spread through Rose's entire body. Countless thoughts of giving up appeared in her mind. But gritting her teeth, thinking of all the problems she had, she said to herself, 'I'll do my best.'

Lanaery looked approvingly at this disciple of hers, who, in the end, did not give up in the face of adversity.

Something very important was that no matter how strong or talented the heroes were, without a strong will, their only destiny would be to die in an unknown place and be eternally forgotten.

Before Rose began her hellish training without rest.

She gave her a holographic wristband and taught her how to use the basic functions. This was all because she knew that her master needed to learn more about Earth and also for her to do something while she watched her training.

With the holographic wristband on her left wrist, Lanaery began to play with it...

---------------

More than two hundred kilometers from Brilliant City.

In a building of more than fifty floors with green glass and a black logo in the form of a two-headed cat with wings in the upper right corner.

Inside the building, everything was completely silent.

A closer look at each floor revealed the chilling scene with bodies mutilated and shattered into countless pieces.

The death toll on the fifty floors of the building was probably over a thousand people!

On the top floor, a man with a white beard and a holographic gray business suit stood behind a giant Kryon that was very similar to the logo on the building.

The Kryon had a body ten meters high, a pair of metallic wings, and two cat heads that looked aggressively at another Kryon a few meters away.

"Even if you destroy this small headquarters of our Umella family. Corlum won't get his hands on our family's research on the Exa serum."

The white-bearded man said with a relaxed smile.

With his mental energy, he ordered the cat-shaped Kryon to attack."

From the mouth of each head of the Kryon came a beam of mixed black and red magma that hit the body of the other Kryon!

On the other side, a man in a black mask with a red eye on his forehead glared cruelly and arrogantly at the white-bearded man.

He completely ignored the rise in temperature on this floor due to Kryon's attack in the form of a cat.

"Is that so? Let's hope they still think the same when every headquarters in the country of Rowsil or even the Space continent is destroyed."

"Hahaha!"

The masked man with an orange barrier around him arched his body and laughed loudly as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.

"What do you think the Umella family headquarters on the Elemental continent will do when they find out that all of their offices on this continent have been annihilated?"

For the first time, the white-bearded man's expression changed to one of panic, and he screamed.

"Damn criminal organization! Do you really think the world government won't do anything about them!?"

"The world government?"

With his eyes full of disdain that could be seen through the holes in the mask he said:

"You know very well that the world government is so busy trying to contain the creatures from the two danger zones, that they have no time or high-level Stars Masters to spare to send to this continent."

"Or... Do you expect a mere level six Star Master to stop Corlum experts?"

Sigh!

"I'm tired of talking to you if you don't want to cooperate."

"Die."

The masked man sent a message with his mental energy to the Kryon at his side.

thump!

thump!

Suddenly, the Kryon, with a humanoid shape but covered with rocks, and tens of meters high, advanced stepping, on the ground with force without fear.

Ignoring that it was still receiving the magma beam from the cat-shaped Kryon.

With its giant arm, it grabbed one of the heads, and crushed it hard!

It then used its other arm and like a hammer crushed the body of the cat-shaped Kryon until it returned to its nanobots form from the also damage sustained.

The white-bearded man knew it was the end for him, so he said, "Someday, someone will take it upon himself to destroy your entire organization."

"Silly stuff." Said the masked man mockingly.

Bang!

With a punch. The white-bearded man's entire body exploded into pieces, leaving the walls and floor stained with blood and chunks of flesh.

On the floor, now there was only the Kryon that looked like a stone giant and the masked man.

The same could be, said of the entire building. The only living being was the masked man.

"Too bad you weren't a level five Star Master. Though you looked like you were about to be, haha."

For him, fighting a level four Star Master was child's play.

All because at that level, the Star Masters could only use mid-range imperfect Kryons, and the most important thing was that their bodies had not gone through an elemental evolution.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, the masked man received a message on his holographic wristband.

"Kill a level four Star Master in Brilliant City and kidnap a girl from the Hesdia family?"

With a frown and some anger in his eyes, he said, "How can they give me such a low-level quest when I can be doing mid-level quests?"

"Incoming video call from Lifrith."

A pair of sapphire-blue eyes appeared on the holographic screen of his wristband and stared at the masked man.

"I know what you're thinking, Executor Jaxon. But this mission will give Corlum more cooperative experimental subjects, and there's something even more important."

"It will give us someone with the purest blood of the previous head of the Hesdia family. You know that man could copy the attacks of some fire Gillions with no side effects, and that ability is exactly what Corlum has been trying to create."

"So I'm counting on you for this important mission, Executor Jaxon."

Jaxon could only reluctantly accept this mission which, from his point of view, was a complete waste of time.

According to him, even if that girl had a very strong blood relationship with the previous head of the Hesdia family.

It wasn't the same to have the guy who could already use that strange ability as someone who no one knew if she had the same ability in her blood or her body.

"Too bad that man disappeared into a six-star rainbow portal. If it wasn't for that, Corlum would have kidnapped him long ago."

Making the Kryon next to him disappear, turning it into countless nanobots and keeping them in a small container in his pocket.

Jaxon broke one of the windows on the floor he was on and dropped out in style

Woosh!

Flap! Flap! Flap!

A pair of black wings, as if belonging to a crow, appeared on his back, and with small plasma thrusters on his back, he flew out of the building so fast that his figure disappeared in an instant.
