"Forget it, whether I'm a lolicon or not doesn't matter... Let's check the changes first."
After some inner conflict, Blake decided to cast aside his thoughts and focus on sensing the changes in his body.
First, Blake’s bones had become harder than any alloy in this world, significantly stronger than before.
Next, the muscle fibers in his body were no longer simply hard, but had become more resistant to tearing.
With the "Campione" physique, Blake had no doubt that once he entered battle, his body would instantly unleash a power greater than adrenaline, placing him in the most perfect combat state to exert his full strength.
Of course, the most significant change in Blake's body was that from this day on, all magic and sorcery would be completely ineffective against him, except for the spell that has a effect on gods!
Whether beneficial or harmful, magic would have no effect on him!
These were the changes in his body.
Next, Blake felt that his strength had also undergone a significant transformation.
The most direct manifestation was that the energy in Blake had increased exponentially, reaching the Satan Class!
"Alright, now let's check the divine authorities. This is really exciting..."
With a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, Blake nodded in satisfaction and sank his consciousness deep within.
Deep inside Blake's mind, three stone-like objects were present.
Each one depicted the blue waves of the ocean, the cracked earth, and the tornado-shaped storm.
"Though they don’t have specific names, I have indeed acquired Poseidon's authorities, not just the right to use his divine authorities. Now I control the forces of the sea, storms, and earthquakes. Indeed, the world of Campiones is fascinating."
When he came back to his senses, Blake couldn't help but smile. The authorities Poseidon used against him in battle, he could now fully wield. It wasn't just a simple acquisition of a divine power.
This was probably something only Blake could achieve. One could say that this time, becoming a Campione, his acquired abilities could rival the five authorities of Voban!
At that moment, the sound of a door opening suddenly echoed. Blake’s door was pushed open, and three petite figures appeared. They were Liliana, Yuri, and Erica.
"Lily, Yuri, Erica, I'm back."
Upon seeing these three lolis, Blake was surprised that Erica had come to visit him as well, but he didn’t think too much about it. He just smiled and waved, greeting them.
"Lord Blake, you're finally awake!"
Hearing this, Liliana and Yuri finally snapped out of their daze and ran over, their joy written all over their faces.
As for Erica, she stood aside a bit awkwardly, enviously watching Liliana and Yuri. Among them, only she was called by her surname, not her first name.
I really made a mistake... Because of my title as a genius, I’ve become a bit arrogant...
Quietly watching the three chat happily, Erica couldn't help but show a bitter smile on her delicate face. She felt deeply regretful inside.
Regarding her feelings, Erica had fully realized them over the past few days. It was the same kind of admiration as Liliana's.
When they first met, because of the Sword King title, she doubted Blake's abilities and felt some jealousy. After all, even as a genius, she wasn’t qualified to stay by the king's side. No, she didn’t even have the right to have her name remembered by the Sword King.
So her pride and self-esteem were shattered, which led her to speak out in front of everyone.
Later, when she mistakenly thought Blake would follow her lead, even feeling that he would be honored by her accompanying him on a shopping trip, she never expected that Blake would completely ignore her. For Erica, that was another huge blow, and she truly began to harbor resentment toward Blake.
Afterward, Erica observed Blake’s teaching of Liliana and her opinion of him changed again. She recognized his abilities, even secretly noting down his advice and silently practicing, which indeed improved her sword skills.
Finally, during the Campione battle, his heroic, towering image left Erica with no choice but to engrave Blake’s existence deep within her heart. Her feelings shifted from resentment to admiration and regret...
As a human being stronger than even the Campione, Blake hadn’t gotten angry at her unreasonable behavior. Even after becoming the Campione, his feelings for Liliana hadn't changed. This showed Blake’s character. In Erica’s mind, he was the best king—a gentle, domineering person with immense strength. His aura was also extraordinary.
Liliana, you were right... My pitiful self-esteem and arrogance... made me lose something so important...
Staring at Blake, Erica couldn't help but clench her fists.
The person she admired most was right in front of her, yet she didn’t even have the qualifications to get close...
"What’s this little girl thinking...?"
After just calming down the excited Yuri and Liliana, Blake sensed through his senses that Erica’s face was changing, even glimmering with tears. She was enveloped in regret, self-loathing, and other negative emotions, which left him stunned.
Erica, this woman—no, this l*li—would be like this? Honestly, Blake hadn’t expected it. This was totally out of left field.
"Erica, are you okay?"
Confused about what Erica was thinking, Blake raised an eyebrow and asked. Though his relationship with Erica wasn’t great, ignoring a little girl crying wasn’t his style.
"King, the disrespect I showed you before was a huge mistake of mine, please punish me, I will accept any punishment, and then... I humbly ask for your forgiveness."
Upon hearing this, Erica’s body froze. She then knelt solemnly, lips pressed together as she spoke.
"Huh?!"
Seeing this sudden scene, Liliana, Yuri, and even Blake were momentarily stunned, not understanding what Erica was up to.
In his mind, Erica Blandelli wasn’t the kind of person to do this. She was full of self-esteem and confidence, even unyielding in the face of the Campione.
