Amon, The Legendary Overlord

The duel between Maisa and Barbara was being fought with only their magical power.

On one side, it was extremely hot; scorching blue flames erupted from Barbara's body as she prepared to attack. On the other side, it was extremely humid; crystal clear water surrounded Maisa's body as she seemed to have finished activating the spell *<Water Dragon Attack>*. Soon, a powerful water dragon condensed from the ambient water vapor.

*<Wall of Blue Flames>!*

At her command, Barbara activated her spell, which created a gigantic 600 cm wall made of blue flames.

The water dragon was stopped, roaring and hurling jets of water towards the wall. It wasn't able to break through the wall in the first few attacks and roared again, attacking in the same spot as before.

*CRACK!*

Signs of cracks appeared in the wall of blue flames, however, it still wasn't enough.

It was then that the water dragon made one last attack which was to dive towards the wall.

*BOOM!*

The wall of blue flames collapsed, yet Barbara behind the wall was seen unharmed. Barbara showed a tender smile, probably because the wall was able to defend against all three attacks.

Maisa sighed in astonishment, probably because she expected her attack to do more damage. However, soon the two both showed expressions of amazement.

"I opened a gene!" Almost at the same time, the two shouted the same thing.

Yes, this was the purpose of the duel: to push their genes to their limits and open up new genes, but wanting and getting are two different things entirely. The fact that both girls got their unlocks at practically the same time was pretty amazing.

Upon learning of this fact, and having done it almost at the same time, Barbara and Maisa showed a triumphant smile. It was a commendable thing that they rose so quickly. In contrast, there were university students who would take an average of 1 month to open a blank gene.

Of course, this was just an analysis of students who did not have outside help such as a genetic syringe or other means.

"Let's continue," Maisa said.

She was happy, but she knew this was just the beginning. By the end of the day, she wanted to have opened 10 blank genes. Although it was a difficult task, it was not impossible. Just yesterday she had managed to open 4 blank genes with less time.

Barbara nodded. She seemed to have similar thoughts to Maisa.

One thing happened before the two girls resumed the duel. In spiral form, a vortex of energy formed in Amon's head. Something like that was a sign that there would be great benefit to them if they trained under the influence of it.

It wasn't just this last time that they had benefited when Amon entered this meditative state, so for now, Maisa and Barbara reached a consensus to stop the duel for the time being.

"Let's meditate," Maisa and Barbara said in unison.

Even Julia didn't seem to want to be a judge anymore and seemed to want to start meditating. Bianca also seemed to think it was a good idea to meditate. However, unlike the rest, she needed much more genetic power, so she injected a special syringe with 0 impurity, which was very rare and difficult to obtain for her power level.

�������🧬�������

The fact that Amon's state of meditation lasted several hours made them skip lunch directly, and they only stopped when it was almost 7 pm. This was when Amon stopped meditating.

The girls had benefited a lot; even Bianca seemed to benefit a lot as she was all smiles when she got up.

"Amon, how strong are you now?" Ariel rephrased her question, "I mean, what are your gene levels?"

Knowing it was a safe place to talk about them, Amon replied, "My calm gene's 39, blank gene's 58, and lightning gene's 41."

"Wow! Even though you had to fill in two Genetic Factors at the same time, you managed to raise them this much...!" Ariel showed surprise.

She was delighted with Amon's talent, even looking a little envious, as she pouted and muttered, "I only managed to open 35 blank genes and fill in 22 psychic genes."

"Tsk, you're complaining about a full belly, Ariel," Maisa scoffed, "Did you forget that a little while ago you created the first genetic factor and just became an Innate? That being said... I have to agree with you a little bit; Amon's talent is frightening."

Amon's talent was something the girls agreed would become monstrous. The fact that he knew he had to fulfill two genetic factors, and yet he was at such a high level with both, demonstrated just how frightening his talent was.

Maisa, Julia, and Barbara were in a similar situation to Ariel in terms of open blank gene levels, around 30-33. The only reason Ariel took the lead was mainly due to the fact that today Psychic Gene Cores were used in the totems.

"... I am hungry." Feeling her stomach rumble a little, Barbara spoke up.

The other girls also felt hungry, however, they were more reserved because they were Bianca's guests, unlike Barbara who was her daughter. Although they got quite close to Bianca, they still felt like there was a distance between them.

After all, that sort of thing couldn't be forced and it would take some getting used to her.

"Let's shower first and wipe off the sweat. I already called and asked my staff to deliver a feast for us in 40 minutes," Bianca said.

"Truly?"

Barbara suddenly shivered with bright eyes and smiled happily. The other girls also show happiness.

Amon looked at Bianca and gave a slight smile. It was nice to have someone like her looking out for the rest of them. It was a warm feeling that he particularly seemed to enjoy a lot.

Before leaving, Julia called out to Amon, "Ah, Amon, please wait a moment."

Amon turned, and suddenly she clung to his chest. The sudden situation seemed to have taken him by surprise, and she gently wrapped her arms around his back, hugging him.

The faint fragrance and softness was intoxicating. Although she had been sweating, Julia didn't smell bad; on the contrary, she actually smelled really good. Resisting the urges he felt, Amon stroked Julia's head for the time being, and she narrowed her eyes in a delicate manner, lifting her head.

"I'm a little tired from training, so please give me some more of your energy," Julia murmured softly, and Amon couldn't help but hug her. Her eyes looked shy, but there was a devilishly coy smile on her face.
