On the day I received the message that my understanding and mastery of divine magic had increased, I immediately tried to apply it in battle, feeling the effects firsthand.

For me, being able to handle divine power better wasn't just about improving the effectiveness of divine magic—it meant an overall increase in my combat abilities.

If I could handle this properly, I thought I could land a blow on Benedict. So, I began adapting to these changes, using my friends and the Alrn knights as test subjects.

Despite my efforts, however, I couldn’t get past the wall that was Benedict.
