Chapter 16 - The Battle At The Black Market, Part 2 (6)

Leon's POV

Norman's aura underwent a drastic transformation. It was like a switch had been flipped, and suddenly, his power surged threefold. Before, his magical energy had been steady, but now it raged around him, almost out of control. Veins burst with blood, muscles tore, bones shattered, yet his body healed instantly. He defied the physical limits of a human form, hosting an immense amount of magical power.

Ordinarily, a human with that much mana would succumb to mana overload and die, but it seemed the pill he had taken somehow prevented that fate.

I'd heard from none other than Gabrielle that the underworld was researching ways for people to enhance their strength and surpass their body's limits. She'd even fought someone like that before. It took several dozen magic knights just to subdue them. And now, here was Norman, standing before me, embodying that very concept.
