Year 1400 of the Imperial calendar - Shouyo continent - Execution grounds

(Alastor POV)

With Ifrit pursuing the fire spirit king in the sky, I face the Isekai Heroine pets on the ground.

"Kuma!" Kumakyu

The Pink bear finally throws me off his back.

"Kumaaa!" Kumayuru

The white one shoots a particular-shaped fireball at me from his mouth.

"What is this?" Alastor

I catch the skill with my bare hands and look at it.

"A little bear?" Alastor

A small replica of them completely made of fire resides in my hand, Why would it take this form?

"Kumakyu, now!" Isekai Heroine

The other one shoots an ice small bear.

"Bears, bears, and more bears..." Alastor

I make the bear in my hands bigger than the originals and throw it to counter the ice one.

"This is already betting boring" Alastor

"..." Isekai Heroine

The bears and the Isekai Heroine maintain their distance from me.

"Alright, how about this?" Alastor

I extend my arms to my sides and remind defenseless like a scarecrow.

"What are you doing?" Isekai Heroine

She is cautious of me.

"I am giving them a chance, come at me" Alastor

Both bears come at me seizing the opportunity.

"They did it!" Isekai Heroine

Their fangs reach the skin of my neck and left ankle.

"...yes, they did" Alastor

"!?" Isekai Heroine

The bears on me start to shrink.

"What is happening?!" Isekai Heroine

I take the palm size bear on my neck with my right hand.

"Completly Mana-made-creatures are only nourishment for someone who knows how to use it" Alastor

"Nourishment? No, You wouldn't!" Isekai Heroine

I stomp on the mana on my feet and eat the one in my hand.

"Kumayuru, Kumakyu... It cant be..." Isekai Heroine

She drops to her knees.

"...Tasteless" Alastor

During the tournament, I concluded that people were creating tolerance for the mana-nullifying barrier, but I was wrong.

The skills of the participants weren't as empty as the predetermined ones from the system, they were closer to the mana manipulation Ifrit taught me.

It was not tolerance, but adaptation.

They weren't regaining the strength taken off by the barrier, they were getting stronger than the effects.

"This is a nice feeling" Alastor

That prison I was captive was almost in the center of the barrier, it was a perfect place to train.

Each day that passed the pressure on my inner mana was less and less as if I were training with weights, each repetition made me stronger.

Until I finally reached my peak.

"This is the perfect Mana Manipulation" Alastor

The Isekai Heroine stands up again and takes out her book of light again in her hand.

"That scared me, but it is a relief that they are okay" Isekai Heroine

The bears are summoned once again.

"This time we will fight together" Isekai Heroine

She hugs the bears and they turn into a weird pink and white bear pajama outfit for her.

"I will show you the combat skills they taught me" Isekai Heroine

The two bear gloves rise to guard her and she approaches me kicking the ground, leaving a dust cloud behind.

"Okay, let's do this" Alastor

She starts with a low kick that I counter with mine.

"Good, what else you got?" Alastor

"Kuma" Isekai Heroine

A straight punch comes at my face, but I move my head away.

"Kuma! kuma! kuma!" Isekai Heroine

She throws three punches at me and they all miss me.

"Kummaaa!!" Isekai Heroine

A high kick surprises me with its speed and the claws on the outfit manage to create three scratches on my cheek.

The System is giving her more strength as the fight keeps going.

"It seems I shouldn't underestimate you" Alastor

I jump on top of a wooden gallow in the surroundings.

"Give up servant of the evil queen, this kingdom deserves better!" Isekai Heroine

I focus on the mana inside me and start to burn it out.

"Are you sure you have the right to tell anyone what is better for who, servant of god?" Alastor

The sun scar on my chest begins to shine and the wooden support at my feet begins to burn.

"Here I come!" Alastor

I shoot my body toward her.

"!!!" Isekai Heroine

At the last moment, she tries to jump backward, but I grab left her leg.

*Fsssshhh*

"KYAAAAAAGGHHHH!!!!!" Isekai Heroine

My hand burns through her clothes and skin before slamming her into the ground.

"A, aa, aAAAGGHHHH!!!" Isekai Heroine

I was awaiting for her to stand up and keep fighting, but she just stay on the ground grabbing her leg.

"?" Alastor

Why isn't she fighting back?

Why is she acting as if it is the first time she is wounded?

...

"Ah" Alastor

It is probably the first time she got seriously hurt.

"AAAHGHH" Isekai Heroine

She starts tearing uncontrollably while gasping for air.

"...What should I do with this?" Alastor

Of course it hurts, but every adventurer in this world knows that giving up on the pain can only lead to death in a fight.

She is simply not worthy of the power that was given to her.

"I was hoping to make the fight longer, but this will inevitably..." Alastor

The Isekai Heroine suddenly stops screaming

"..." Isekai Heroine

And her whole body begins to float in the air.

"..." Isekai Heroine

Her clothes revert to her queen outfit.

"This may be bad" Alastor

Her hair becomes white, a huge green halo appears from his back and six white wings grow from it.

"..." Isekai Heroine

Her wide eyes look up at me, but the pupils are nowhere to be seen.

"God awakened the full extent of the stolen mana dedicated to her" Alastor

The instruments of torture and execution around us disintegrate into dust, the desolate dead soil around us begins to sprout flowers, and animal figures made of light run free everywhere.

I hope you are done already Ifrit, we need to get out of here.

"?" Alastor

Something is wrong.

"..." Awakened Isekai Heroine

We both look up and see dark clouds gathering in the sky.

It doesn't seem to be because of her.

"What is happening?" Alastor
