Chapter 531: The Religion Of Frank?!
-----
Bernard was a sore loser, he didn't wanted to admit his true defeat and called out to Vheslia's power as cheat, which allowed her to win even when he should had won, he thought deep down he won even when he didn't. He was a man with a turbulent past and he valued winning over things a lot more due to his lack of self-esteem. Due to this, he acted arrogant and couldn't accept such a defeat so easily.
"It's not exactly out of my ass if I had since I was a kid, idiot! Don't you know how many difficulties it brough to me when I was a kid? I had my mana drained all the time and I couldn't even be a competent magician…" sighed Vheslia.
"Hmph. Whatever." Bernard simply ignored her.
"I am going to rip apart your legs again!" she roared, but we stopped her before she were to go out of control.
"Relax for a bit, dear, no need to go that far for an idiot." Sighed Gwendolyn.
"He's going to be our next ally in the future so you two will have to get along you want it or not." Said Frank.
"T-That's… Well, whatever." Said Vheslia.
The two were rather similar at the end, crossing their arms and looking elsewhere.
"Haha, Bernard is a man like this, don't mind him, please. He had a turbulent past." Said Dan.
"Hah, indeed, let's leave it at that." Said Kuro.
"Well I would usually kill anyone that dared to offend my wife like this, but I will let it slide because he's a future ally and not someone that deserves death." Said Frank with a smile.
He seemed very calm over the implying he would had skilled Bernard, to the point that Bernard opened his eyes alerted, glancing at Frank, he couldn't help but simply see a stupid young man, however, the deeper he looked, the more abyssal Frank suddenly turned to be, it was as if the more one glanced at him, the more you comprehended what kind of monstrous power dwelled within him.
His entire body exuded a powerful presence of many divinities at once, something that shouldn't even be possible to begin with, as an entity only get a single divinity which they develop continuously as they grow stronger, but he defied logic and had multiple ones without any problems.
By looking at Frank's presence, Bernard couldn't help but feel like this abyssal feeling only grew more deeper as time went by, it was as if Frank by himself was an abyssal being on its own accord, something terrifying to think about and even comprehend.
The worst thing was that Frank was simply sitting there while talking with his people, minding his own business, but Bernard felt terrified the more he looked, he decided to quickly avert his gaze from him, thinking that he might better not insult Vheslia again like that if she's really the wife of such a monster.
"There's always a bigger fish…" he thought.
"Anyways not like you were defeated by her, I was the one that crushed you twice, skinny guy." Said Cathyl rather defiantly, the beautiful muscular woman looked at Bernard with a cocky smile, hurting his pride deeply.
"Ngh… Y-You're… right…" he sighed.
"But damn you're weak! I never thought you would easily be defeated by me dropping over you, haha!" laughed Cathyl.
Bernard grew increasingly more irritated, but Frank stopped her.
"You were incredible Cathyl but that's enough, let the man be." He said.
"Ah… Yeah, I guess I also had my ass handled by Stein, he's really formidable as an enemy! I can't believe Vheslia won." Said Cathyl.
"You think I actually believe it? I am like you, I really don't believe it… Even less that I won by throwing up…" said Vheslia.
"It was a powerful ability!" said Stein, recognizing Vheslia's power.
"It was indeed! Thank you Stein, I am glad you're a nice guy." Said Vheslia.
"Y-Yes, I recognize the strong girls." Said Stein with a smile. Hanna looked at him while raising an eyebrow.
"Hmph!" said Bernard rather angrily as he seemed irritated by everything.
"Anyway, now that things had ended here, the only last fight to come is the obvious one, isn't it? It is the one everyone in here has been looking forward since the entire little tournament was set up." said Dan.
"You're right…" said Frank.
"Big brother and Matsuo's fight!" said Kamei.
"I am… nervous." Sighed Matsuo, as he stood up.
"Don't worry, I am sure you will be fine. You're a strong friend." Said Frank.
"T-There's no way I can compare to a Demigod yet though!" said Matsuo.
"You've been leveling up a lot, and you beat Uehara after awakening your innate Aura. You've also accumulated experience all this time and learned a lot of new spells from your clan lately, right? You're good to go." Said Frank.
"B-But Frank…" sighed Matsuo.
"Don't worry man, when you need help the most, I will grant it to you." Said Frank. As he petted Matsuo's shoulders, a sudden glow of light reached his forehead, as Matsuo felt a sudden enhancement to all his capabilities…!
"W-What is this?!" he asked.
"You're a mortal, so this is still possible. This is my blessing, you've become my paladin by receiving my divine protection." Said Frank.
"P-Paladin?!" asked Matsuo in shock over the current events.
Out of nowhere Frank had somehow blessed him and given Matsuo his divine protection! And it was so fast and… easily?
"W-Wait! Hold on a second buddy! You just made me your paladin? You… gave me a divine protection? I never thought that my friend would ever do such a thing…" sighed Matsuo.
"What's wrong?" asked Frank.
"Nothing… It's just feels weird, like you've become my father or something now." Said Matsuo.
"Stop talking nonsense now, we are still friends, and we'll get through this like we always do. This Divine Protection is one of the things I can give to you. The more faith you have for me, the stronger you will grow through my divine power. You're already a talented and powerful magician, and my divine protection will do the trick for you." Said Frank.
