Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

His voice was like thunder, rumbling in everyone's ears, and shaking their eardrums, while his words were not only as fast as lightning but equally powerful, striking their heads and infusing with their minds. The pressure acting on Elliot's body also mysteriously disappeared.

His words stomped on the pride of the magic grandmaster and the losers, making them feel as if a poisonous bee has stung them.

"Pufahahahaha!"

The crowd started laughing while pointing fingers at the magic grandmaster and the relatives that were going after Elliot and started making fun of them, adding salt to their fresh wounds, and stomping on their pride even further. They felt so angered and annoyed that some almost puked out a mouthful of blood.

The Magic Grandmaster lady stood up in anger, looked at the red-haired man who taunted her and many others for Elliot's sake.

You--"

"Hmph!"

Holly Lewis raised her voice even further to lash out at the red-haired man who dared to make fun of her. However, before she could even say more than a word or move her body, he coldly snorted. His snort was too powerful. It was just too powerful. It was so powerful. Oh, it was too powerful.

Jokes aside, it was powerful, and it damaged her internally. It's because he had infused a large amount of energy with his cold snort, a magic technique that only those above the magic Grandmaster can perform. The moment his cold snort reached her ears, she felt a mysterious force stomping on her energy channels. Immediately, she puked out three mouthfuls of blood.

The rest of them saw that and felt scared out of their wits.

A single snort could damage a magic grandmaster so badly?

Holy shit!

That must mean this red-haired person is at least a lord of magic!

They didn't want to offend him and incur his wrath as he could crush them to death with merely his fart, so they magically closed shut their mouths.

"The next time you raise your voice, you'll lose your head." The red-haired man said to Holly Lewis, who the onlookers and Elliot spotted spewing out one more mouthful of blood.

Holly glared at him in anger.

The red-haired man raised his hand, ready to end her life.

"Now, now, dear friend. Please calm down your anger. Our instructor is a bit ignorant, so please forgive her." The headmaster said with a sorry look on his face.

"Only this one time." The red-haired man lowered his hand, placing it on the armrest.

The headmaster motioned Holly to go away, and she stood up with a sad look on her face and walked up.

"So I had evaded the cliches thanks to the members of the magician community. Thank god!" Elliot thought. Now, he didn't need to kill one person after another to take a breather.

Suddenly, three voices rang out from below the arena.

"How can someone like him even defeat around twenty strong men all by himself? Does this even make sense to anyone?"

"He is using an artifact for sure! Or he is hiding his real realm! He might be a magic grandmaster disguising himself as a magician in the magical realm!"

"We can't lose so pathetically to a magician in the first stage. Such a thing… is impossible!!"

Elliot and the onlookers turned to the source of the voice and saw that it was the three leaders whom the magician community of this city knows as the strongest channel opening stage magicians.

"Nothing is impossible for me, for I am Elliot, the magician with the highest potential to become a magic emperor!" Elliot retorted, overbearing confidence flowing out of him.

When he said those words, a heavy wind billowed outwards, gusts of winds fluttering everyone's clothes except for him. It was as if the sky was moving the wind to show the world that it agrees with him.

The three leaders started barking again, trying to accuse him of crimes he hasn't even committed, all so that they could save what little pride they had.

"Enough! You can eat whatever you want carelessly but you shouldn't say words that harm someone else character without proof to back you up! If you don't shut up, then don't blame us for being merciless." Instructor Leonardo had enough of this bullshit. He wasn't paid to hear losers whine and try to drag down the winner.

His voice was powerful enough to make the three of them lose control of their body and the killing intent surging out of his body was so powerful that it manifested into the form of a serpent and the target of his killing intent subconsciously peed themselves.

"Wait!" The red-haired man suddenly said.

"Elder magician, what is it?" Instructor Leonardo respectfully greeted him and pulled back his killing intent.

"Since some people suspect that he is playing foul, I will verify whether it's true or not. That way, we can prevent fake rumors about him secretly using an artifact to win the fight."

Instructor Leonard heard the man's words, then turned to look at the Headmaster. Gerald gave him a nod, signaling him to not decline the red-haired man at all cost.

"Please do as you wish, elder magician." Instructor Leonardo said.

The red-haired man nodded, then looked at Elliot.

"Boy, what do you say?"

"Elder, you may search me as much as you. I've nothing to hide." Elliot said, confidently raising his hands, an action that showcased how confident he was about not being a cheater.

The eyes of the red-haired man looked at him scrutiny. All of Elliot's items were inside the inventory, so he wasn't carrying anything on his body, including the Undead King's Requiem.

"Look into my eye and don't blink for ten seconds." The red-haired man suddenly said.

"Alright," Elliot replied before looking straight into his fiery red eyes with his bright eyes.

After some seconds, the red-haired man looked away from his eyes with a satisfactory smile on his face.
