Spoiler(corrected)

"STOP RIGHT THERE AIZ WALLENSTEIN!"

Hearing Mark's voice, Aiz turned only to widen her eyes. She didn't expect to see him standing with that kind of injury.

"THAT IS MY PREY!" -Mark shouted.

"Mark calms down, your injuries are serious!" -Lefiya told him worriedly while trying to stop him.

"She is right, you are not in a position to face it. Plus you have already proved your worth. " -Aiz said seriously, getting the agreement from Tione and Tiona.

"Fuck the worth!" -Mark yelled at her as he limped over.

"I don't fight to prove something to you, I do it for me!" -He told her while he was a few steps away from her.

"Look at my body!" -He spread his arms, showing a body full of wounds.

"My brain can still think!" - He screamed pointing to his head.

"These legs can still hold me up!" -He slammed his feet.

"My heart is still beating!" - He said banging his chest.

"As long as these parts work, NO ONE CAN GET INTO MY BATTLES!" - He said looking into her eyes.

Nobody could breathe, the emotion behind Mark's words was too overwhelming. Many would lose their will in front of such an enemy and with that kind of wounds, but in front of them, there was a person whose pride refused to give up.

Looking at Mark's bloodshot eyes, Aiz could see a certain resemblance to herself as she was consumed by the dark flames living in her heart, but there were also differences. In Mark's, there was not the slightest sign of despair or fear, only the will to not lose.

Seeing Aiz saying nothing, Mark passed her and she did nothing to stop him as for the others, after all, who would stop a person who put all his will to do something.

Walking with difficulty for a few meters, he stopped thirty meters from the dragon. Mark's body was shaking all the time, from the pain that ran from his body, putting a burden on his mind, but even the monster was not in better condition. Its body was covered with wounds from which an incredible amount of blood oozed, which weakened it over time, but it continued to look at Mark with hatred.

'Inspires'

'Golem heart activated.'

The moment he activated his ability all the sensations he was experiencing disappeared, his brain was flooded with an analytical coldness, which rejected the concept of feeling.

His change did not go unnoticed. Aiz, Tione, and Tiona were looking to the side when they frowned at Mark's change.

"Hey, isn't it like that time?" - Tiona asked.

"It's exactly the same, the feeling of not perceiving anything." - Tione said while looking at Mark.

Aiz too had a thoughtful look as she watched the scene.

"Can I know what you are talking about?" - Lefiya asked confused. She could see that Mark had changed as well, but she didn't understand what it was all about.

"Well that's not really a secret, but Bete doesn't like it, being known. It was Mark who injured Bete's shoulder and the state he was in is the same as this. " -Tione whispered in her ear.

"!" -Hearing her words, Lefiya's mind could no longer think. She was wondering how a level 1 hurt a level 6.

While the girls talked about his change, Mark was talking with the skill.

<specify the objective>

'Kill the enemy.'

<Percentage calculation ... 0% melee attack, due to excessive wounds and weapon loss ... use of magic 80% with the use of overcharge. The percentage is considered to be sufficient.>

'Take care of the spell formation, I take care of dodging.'

<Affirmative>

Opening his eyes, which now seemed lifeless abysses, Mark took his position, while on his hand the falna began to gather at a monstrous speed.

Seeing the human in front of him look different, the monster felt a bad premonition, so it started shooting small fireballs at him, even if it suffered damage, due to the wounds in its mouth.

Looking blankly at the various incoming fireballs, Mark's movements were simply neat. He dodged shots without difficulty as if he were not injured. Obviously, this was thanks to the fact that the ability eliminated feelings, including pain, and increased the statistics.

The spectators who were watching were amazed by the scene in front of them, they did not expect the boy covered with the wounds would be to move like that, even to the girls it seemed strange.

Obviously, Mark was not well, every movement aggravated the wounds, but what was happening inside him was even worse. His capillaries were exploding due to the pressure of the falna that entered his body interruptedly, in fact, blood began to come out of his eyes and nose as well.

Seeing that it was impossible to kill the human with those attacks, and the fact that Mark's magic circle had grown larger, the monster change its move. Sinking its hind legs into the ground, the dragon's scales rose, beginning to glow red.

With the monster no longer attacking him, Mark stopped to his feet and concentrated on speeding up the spell's formation. In the eyes of others, the scene before them seemed strange, with the fact that both Mark and the monster were still, but in Mark's eyes, it was completely different.

Vortexes had formed both around him and the monster, attracting the falna more and more. Mark's magic circle had now reached 2 meters in diameter and if Riveria could see it, she would be entranced by the complexity within it, which could rival the most powerful spells. Instead, the dragon's red light moved slowly down its neck to its mouth.

'ROOOOAR!'

Releasing a full-force roar, the dragon craned its neck in Mark's direction, and highly concentrated flames burst out of its mouth. The power behind that blow was such that it crawled back slightly even with its weight.

Watching as the column of flames approached, absolute indifference was reflected in Mark's eyes, all mental abilities were used in the formation of the magic circle.

Seeing the flames getting closer and closer to Mark, Aiz decided to take action. Using 'tempest', she ran as fast as possible, but when she got close enough to him, she heard a cold voice speak.

"Die."

Extending the hand that contained the circle, which had reached 3 meters in diameter, a blue ray, intertwined with various filaments, came out from there.

'laser sword sound'

The beam flew at incredible speed, meeting with the flames, but no type of explosion occurred. The beam quickly penetrated the flames, reaching the monster's chest, where after melting the scales it continued to continue, piercing it from one point to another.

The beam, however, still did not stop but continued towards the walls of the dungeon, where it created a deep hole.

'BAAAM' - With a hole running through it, the monster collapsed, then disappeared in a haze of smoke, releasing its horn, the magic stone, and something difficult to see.

"Now we're equal." -Said Mark expressionless, as he slowly approached.

The more he walked, the more blood came out of his body, but he didn't care. All he wanted was to get to the shard as soon as possible. At the point where the monster had died, he bent down and took the fragment with the hand that had the glove, so that it did not touch it directly.

<Objective achieved, skill deactivation>

The moment the ability was deactivated, Mark collapsed to the ground, with spasms flooding his body.

[Host you are in a critical situation, your body is collapsing. Having used 'golem heart' you couldn't feel the pain, but now it's all coming together and it's overloading your brain. If you don't want it to deactivate 'limit break' and lose all your earnings, you have to exit.]

The Guide spoke, but it seemed that her voice could not reach him, as the spasms worsened and some veins began to swell dangerously.

--- Pov Aiz ---

'What was that magic?' -I thought, as cold sweat dripped from my forehead.

I've seen many powerful spells like Riveria and Lefiya's, but Mark's was different. That blue-ray seemed to disintegrate anything. That's not something a level 1 can own.

"He did it eh." - Tione said in amazement as she watched Mark approach, where the monster died.

The other adventurers were also happy and were celebrating together when I saw the person who has been on my mind all evening.

'Bell Cranell.'

I could see him cheerfully celebrating with the others, even though he would often turn his gaze to Mark... hmm.

Straining my eyes, I could see Mark pick up something, but it didn't look like a magic stone, it was much brighter.

'Isn't that his stone? When did it fall?'- I thought confusedly. When I saw Mark collapse to the ground.

Without hesitating a moment, I immediately ran to him, before frowning hard. Mark's body was covered in blood and kept twitching, plus his veins were moving as if some being were crawling inside him.

"How is it possible to reduce oneself to this state." - Lefiya asked worriedly while checking her status.

'Whispers'

Hearing Mark say something, I put my ear closer to hear better.

"Take me ... out ... fast." -He said with difficulty.

Transporting him in these conditions would be dangerous, but only in our villa, there is the necessary that could help him. Leaning slightly, I put him on my shoulders.

"I'll take Mark to base, take care of the rest." -Being the fastest, no one said anything, and they nodded.

'I wanted to apologize to Bell,but the life of a member of the Familia comes first.'

By activating 'tempest', I started running as fast as possible while trying not to cause too many sudden movements that could damage him. As I ran, I could feel warm blood slowly dripping against me, but instead of feeling warm, my body was getting cold. If Mark continued to bleed, he wouldn't last long.

'Faster!' - Increasing my speed, I finally arrived at the entrance, which seemed full of confusion.

Avoiding everyone, I couldn't waste time here and headed straight for the villa. Mark's body was getting colder and colder as I finally reached the base, where I could see Riveria about to enter.

"Riveria I need your hand!" -I shouted at her.

Hearing my voice, she turned around in surprise, but when she saw Mark behind me covered in blood, her expression immediately became serious.

"Tell me later, now we have to save him." - She told me, as she cast a cure spell, before entering.

As soon as we entered we attracted the attention of others, but we were busy heading to Loki's room, where the elixirs were present.

'BAAM!' "Sorry Loki it's an emergency."

Entering in a hurry, we placed Mark on the sofa, surprised Finn and Loki, but seeing the state he was in they said nothing.

While Riveria used magic to heal Mark, Loki made him drink the elixir, which seemed to have an effect, as his wounds seemed to close and his appearance improved. After giving him the potions, they wrapped his wounds with a band. They also tried to bandage his hand, but no matter how hard they tried, he refused to open it forcing them to bandage his whole fist.

'Is that where he keeps the stone?' - I thought curiously.

I didn't know what that stone was, but I could see that Mark cared about it, from how he reacted to the tavern when it broke.

"So Aiz, can you tell what happened?" -Fin asked me seriously, while Riveria and Loki listened.

"It all started when..." -At that point, I explained the various events.

The fact that I had met the girls, who wanted to know about Mark's growth, the situation of the dungeon and the monster he faced, and how he killed it.

"Haaa, what a story." - Finn said as he rubbed his chin. But he wasn't the only one, Loki and Riveria was also shocked.

"Looks like someone broke your record Aiz." - Loki said with a strange smile.
