Raised in Dungeon

Every human has mana inside their body. It is because humans have a gate inside their bodies that absorbs mana from the outside. But unlike oxygen, which circulates inside the body and comes out as carbon dioxide, mana does not come out after the body absorbs it. The mana gate inside a human's body will always absorb mana. The more mana inside the gate, the less mana the gate absorbs.

Humans start to absorb mana into their bodies from the moment they are born. In most cases, the mana in the body will be full at ages 10 to 12. When the mana sac inside the gate is full, humans will receive God's blessing, an ability needed to release the mana inside the body. How a person gets God's blessing is still a mystery, but everyone has their own blessing to release the mana that is already full in their bodies. Some people get God's blessing when they are only eight years old. This is because everyone's mana traction is different, so it's hard to tell when the mana sac or the mana gate is full.

Unlike amnis, which required the help of elemental spirits to manifest mana, God's blessing could be used directly by the owner without needing a command spell or drawing elemental symbols.

Leofric's use of the word "cornered" indicated that he intended to use his God's blessing. He did that to let certain people know he would activate God's blessing. That is because his God's blessing has an area of effect and friendly fire. When Leofric used his God's blessing, everyone covered their ears, and the orcs somehow fell motionless. Then what was Leofric's God's blessing?

A few minutes ago

before activating his God's blessing. During a fierce battle between Leofric and Queen Orc, Leofric brutally kills the orcs created around him. At the same time, the Queen Orc also attacked him on several occasions. After a while of fighting, Leofric got used to Queen Orc's attack pattern. However, Queen Orcs had begun to feel her mana limits at that time. Since she has made many orcs to use as meat shields to protect herself from Leofric's attacks. Also, she has made a lot of orcs to fight Leofric's people who were standing behind.

This battle turned into a battle of stamina.

'I've almost reached my limit; maybe I can only create twenty more orcs. It's a little faster, but I need to finish this fight soon,' thought Queen Orc.

As for Leofric,

'Master, what are you waiting for? Aren't you going to use your God's blessing?'

"Timing, Heit. You know that my God's blessing consumes too much mana, and I can't control its effects. To ensure my victory, I must wait for the right time."

Queen Orc stepped back little by little, leading their fight to somewhere. At first, Leofric thought Queen Orc was doing that to try to widen the distance between them,

But suddenly…

-BAAAM!!!

Queen Orc stomped her foot on the ground forcefully.

'She stomped her foot?! I am careless! I had no idea she still had a weapon on the ground!

Leofric stopped coming closer to Queen Orc right away. He remembered that his right hand had broken the last time Queen Orc stomped her foot.

He didn't want to take any risks, so he stopped attacking Queen Orc and jumped back.

but he couldn't.

The Queen Orc created an orc under Leofric's feet, and the orc's hands were coming out of the shadows, holding both of his legs. At the same time, five orcs appeared at once around Leofric.

'Sh*t! Queen Orc is going to attack me with her weapon!' Leofric looked at Queen Orc and wondered what weapon she had hidden in the floor this time. If Queen Orc's weapon hit him, at least he would dodge it.

But as he looked at her,

There weren't any weapons coming out of the ground. Queen Orc stomped her feet on the floor to trick Leofric, and make him think there were still a weapon in the ground. In fact, she had run out of weapons and traps.

'I was deceived again!'

Along with the other five orcs, Queen Orc clenched her fists and advanced closer to Leofric, who couldn't move.

'If I attack these orcs first, there will be an aperture in my defense, and then Queen Orc will use that cleft to kill me. And if I let these orcs attack me first, I can at least block Queen Orc's fists, but it is too risky!

Leofric used to use his parallel minds separately to think and attack. In this situation, he only uses his mind to think. As a result, Leofric's mind accelerated faster than an average human's. Because of the mind acceleration, time moved 0.5 times slower for Leofric. But of course, when he used this skill, he couldn't move; he had to focus his entire brain only on thinking.

'I see… I just danced on her palm all along. Her intelligence completely defeats my strength. Of all the people I have fought, Queen Orc is the second one who can make my blood boil like crazy. From the start, she showed me that the orcs she created only moved after their entire bodies were fully out of the shadow. I foolishly thought that was a condition of her ability. Queen Orc believed I would analyze this, and as a result, I did not expect my legs to be held by the hands of an orc whose body was still inside the shadow,'

"AMAZING! YOU ARE INDEED AMAZING! QUEEN ORC!"

His feet were grabbed, the orcs surrounded him, and the Orc Queen was only a few steps away, ready to kill him.

In that situation…

Leofric opened his mouth …

"K N E E L D O W N"

There was something different about Leofric's voice. Ultrasonic waves were clearly visible coming out of his mouth, like affecting the space. That voice reached throughout the room and echoed.

As a result…

-BRAAAG!!!

All of the orcs in the room, including Queen Orc, collapsed to the floor.

"This is my God's blessing: Obey Your King,"

Leofric's God blessing, obey your king, which Leofric named it, was a god blessing activated by concentrating his mana into his mouth. And then, the mana turned into an ultrasonic wavy sound. When this skill is active, anyone who listens to the voice will be forced to obey his orders; because that voice affects the listener's mana.

All the orcs at that moment felt like there was a rock above their heads or a rope pulling them off the ground. Leofric commanded, "kneel," so they were all forced to kneel.

"With an ability like this, why didn't you use it earlier?!" muttered Queen Orc.

Queen Orc tried to look around. She saw not only the orcs who stopped moving but humans as well.

Obey your king; this God's blessing was in the form of a voice, and Leofric couldn't choose his target. When he activated his God's blessing, everyone would hear it, so Leofric's mana was used as much as the people affected. The more people heard it, the more Leofric's mana was depleted.

Queen Orc tried to analyze it and found that humans weren't affected the same way as orcs. They covered their ears because Leofric's voice when activating it, was too loud for their ears. They were only affected by the sound, not mana. Humans who heard it shattered their eardrums, and some fainted.

Queen Orc concluded that Leofric's God blessing was similar to Algar's God blessing, called intimidation. Because they both affect other people's mana through sound. So initially, Queen Orc thought Leofric's God blessing only impacted the monster just like Algar's.

But when Algar uses his God's blessing, the human around him are unaffected. Leofric, on the other hand, his orders are unaffected to humans, but humans can still feel the effects of the loud sound they hear.

Then Queen Orc realized something was off about the way Leofric said the command.

"This is the reason I didn't want to use this. People around me also get affected. The more people got involved, the more my mana was being used.

Also, I haven't used monster language for a long time," Leofric explained.

Queen orc realized when Leofric activated his God's blessing, he said "kneel" in monster language.

"My god's blessing can affect mana; if I use monster language, my voice will reach demonic mana. If I use human language, my voice will reach divine mana."

While explaining, Leofric drew closer to the Queen Orc.

"Is this the end?" thought the Queen orc.

Queen Orc saw a figure she couldn't defeat in front of her. All of her plans were used up, she couldn't control her mana well, and even if she could, she had almost used them all up, so she couldn't make orcs anymore. There was no way for her to survive in this situation. Slowly, the Queen orc's shadow, which had spread throughout the room, returned to her body.

"Goodbye," Leofric said, smiling.

Leofric thrust his lance into Queen Orc's body.
