48 – overwhelm
A wide potion.
This demon potion was popular during the Great War 7 years ago.
This potion, which gave more power the more wounded and angry the user was, was a potion that gave strength enough to overcome overwhelming inferiority.
However, the wide potion is eventually classified as a forbidden potion that must not be taken by allies or enemies.
Instead of gaining great power, the side effects were too great.
One of the representative symptoms of the side effect was that the greater the power gained, the more reason was lost.
In the end, it’s literally like a zombie.
In particular, when you reach the 4th stage where ‘madness’ appears, you will consume your life force and fight until you die.
Allies and enemies, regardless of whether it’s a madman who attacks everyone.
“I remember the old days. A wide potion.”
Allerina, commander of the Empire’s 7th Corps.
As a hero of the Great War, she knew more than anyone else about the potion of madness.
It was because he was a ‘madman hunter’ who killed allies who had fallen into the ‘madman’ stage.
“Shouldn’t we stop it now?”
So the adjutant who had been assisting Alerina for a long time asked with a worried expression.
Because at this rate, both Max and Ed could be in danger.
“Arthur, this is Gracia’s class. Wouldn’t it be rather unpleasant if I came forward?”
“…”
“Besides, you don’t have to go only to step 4. Gracia will subdue it before that.”
Sword Master Gracia.
When I mentioned that he was the supervisor of this Dalian, the adjutant nodded with an understanding face.
It was because he judged that if he, one of the sword masters of the empire, was the supervisor, he would be able to notice that he had used a potion of wide width as soon as he reached the 3rd level.
From the 3rd stage, the change in the user is evident.
“Hey, hey! Look at that!”
But then.
Allerina waved at the thoughtful adjutant and pointed to the front.
This is because the biggest highlight of this Dalian, the ‘suit installation scene’, was being played on a huge screen.
[Pajijik-!]
All the cadets and class observers in the classroom held their breath and focused their eyes on the screen.
A crack in the air tore open and a yellow portable suitcase appeared.
Fix, who had transformed into a suit case, rolled its wheels at high speed and approached Ed, opening the transformed steel suit case.
White steam spewed out, revealing boots made of smooth steel.
[Clap!]
Before long, Ed stood up on his boots and spread his arms.
Then, the open back of the boot closed and tightened the screws, and Fix’s mechanical arm began to insert each part into the knee, thigh, chest, back, shoulder, forearm, and wrist.
[Giying! Clap! Wheein! Clap! Charreureuk!]
Pleasant noise that occurs when each metal joint engages.
The low-frequency sound of an electric drill and white steam spewing out as the engine power of each part operated.

Like this, the process of putting on Edgar’s suit seemed to be watching some noble ceremony.
I wonder if it made me feel an indescribable catharsis.
Every time a part of the suit was completed on his body, it seemed to be reborn as a being that transcended human beings.
Moreover, now that Max, who has taken the potion of madness, rushes to kill him.
The figure of him staring at Max while maintaining a calm expression made the situation itself look different.
[Clap… clap… Weiying…]
However, Ed wasn’t just relaxing for no reason.
This is because it more than doubled the speed at which the suit was worn.
He knew very well that the moment he was only vulnerable was the moment he wore the suit, so through all his efforts, he had significantly reduced the speed at which he fitted the suit.
[Kuaaa!!!]
However, Marx’s speed was not easy.
He’s already taken a potion of madness.
Adrenaline was secreted more than usual, and the circulation of mana was also faster.
As such, the aspect of the beginning of the couple was a confrontation between whether Ed put on the suit first vs. whether Max attacked before that.
“I don’t think this will work?”
However, even if Max’s speed was fast, it was too fast.
At this rate, Ed could be attacked before he even puts on the suit.
In the midst of all this, a crack appeared in the air and a bracelet appeared.
It was Ed’s plasma titanium alloy gauntlet.
“Ohhh!!”
“It’s up!”
“That gauntlet!”
“clearing land”
At this, the cadets inside the classroom gathered their eyes with anticipation and began to cheer.
When the bracelet was wrapped around Ed’s wrist and turned into a gauntlet, it was so cool that he put on an expression like a child who saw something cool.
And the corps commander, Alerina, made that kind of expression as well.
“C-Bar. Hey. look. What a mess.”
“…”
The adjutant shook his head at the sight of Alerina.
However, it was true that the process of putting on Ed’s suit was impressive.
Even he, a Betarang soldier who had fought countless battles, had never seen such a sight, so he gulped and paid attention to Ed’s movements.
[Key—eeeing!]
That’s how the big screen in front.
Ed’s finished gauntlet began to emit a warming sound.
A pleasant high-frequency sound resonated, and the charged plasma beam gradually increased the size of the light.
[Shoo!]
And in an instant, light was shot.
However, Ed did not stop here and fired several more plasma beams at Max, who was charging at him.
[Key-eeeing! Shoo! Key-eeeing! Shoo! Key-eeeing! Shoo!]
As a result, Max’s speed began to slow down.
To avoid the plasma beam, he rolled sideways, jumped up, and blocked it with his sword, and his acceleration dropped significantly.
[Aww!]
So, as if he thought that he would not be able to compete at speed at this rate, he pushed himself into a straight line and started running again.
The easiest way to defeat Ed is to subdue him before he puts on the suit, so I rushed through the plasma beam to try and beat him before that.
He was using mana for defense anyway, and he was also taking a wide potion, so he could withstand a few plasma beams.
[Taat!]
So the close race against time began.
Just as Max jumps to shove his sword into Ed.
It seemed that Max’s sword would reach Ed first, and that Ed’s suit would be completed before that.
[This is my victory!]
However, Max was confident of his victory.
Ed’s suit isn’t finished yet.
As it was certain that the sword he wielded would reach Ed’s heart before the suit was completed, no matter who saw it, he stretched his obsidian sword toward Ed’s heart with a face torn from ear to ear.
[Uh-uuu!]
But at the same time, the huge mana stone embedded in Ed’s chest began to glow brightly.
And just as Max’s obsidian sword was about to reach Ed’s heart, the ‘Plasma Mana Shield’ spell was activated, and a huge membrane stretched out in a radius of 2m around Ed’s body.
[aaagh!]
Just a few centimeters ahead of Ed’s heart, Max’s obsidian was unable to break through the shield and bounced off.
In addition, Max, who was burned by the plasma membrane, screamed and bounced off together.
[Kuh!]
However, Max quickly came to his senses.
He reached out and retrieved the flying black yodo with his own hand.
[Fuck! Pew!]
But Ed was also quick.
Edgar, who had finished installing the suit before he knew it, shot two shots of black juice at Max’s feet without missing an opening.
[What, what!?]
Max’s movements were blocked in an instant.
The black ooze that had just been fired from Ed’s improved web shooter was a special weapon for containment with strong elasticity and adhesion.
It was a weapon developed to deal with fast-moving enemies like Max.
[Fun!]
And Ed took advantage of Max’s panic and fired another shot at Venom’s bodily fluid.
It flew at Max and stuck to his face, completely blocking his vision.
[aaa!!! This dog—a bastard!]
In response, Max started wielding the black yodo madly.
The dark magic power that extended from the black yodo became like a sharp awl and stabbed in all directions.
“It is over.”
However, like what Alerina had just muttered, the black magic of the obsidian was not a threat to Ed.
As long as the vision was blocked and movement was blocked, no matter how powerful the black magic of the obsidian was, it only looked like a child’s clap.
Can’t catch the target and just rampage in all directions.
[Key—eeeing!]
Ed loaded the plasma beam with an expressionless face.
In the same way as he had beaten Max in the first evaluation match, he loaded up his plasma to the maximum.
[Shun-!]
And, a flash of light was fired.
It stuck in Max’s abdomen, causing his new model to fly 2m long and crash to the ground.
Ed, who eventually confirmed the whole process, immediately turned his back.
Everyone in the classroom admired and left comments one by one.
“Wow… it just overwhelms me.”
“No Marx. Even if you wake up dead.”
“It’s really fucking cool.”
Max is ricocheted off Ed’s plasma shield, and it took only 10 seconds to subdue him.
It was a clean and disciplined battle method, as if it had been cut with a knife.
I finished it with 3 web shooters and the maximum charge of the plasma beam.
“hehehe… No, this is the real beginning.”
Only Alerina knew.
That I couldn’t finish off the person who took this wide potion.
As if to prove it, just before Gracia declared victory or defeat, Max’s high voice rang out.
[Not yet—aaa!!!!!]
Max’s high voice resounds loudly.
Gracia turned her head to Max with a look of surprise.
[It’s not over yet···.]
Marx said that and stood up.
His stomach, which had been seriously injured, had completely recovered before he knew it.
Ed turned his back and turned his head back to Max.
[Are you awake?]
However, Ed was smiling instead.
The combat power meter stretched out too early, so I couldn’t even check the suit’s proper performance, but thankfully it stood up again.
Ed said, waving his hand.
[come in.]
Ed waggled his hand with a mean smile.
Max’s eyes are red and red.
[Shhh!]
When Max reached out, the obsidian on the floor was sucked into his hand.
Ed warmed up and warmed up the three-dimensional maneuvering device.
[Ta-ah!]
Max, who had reached the second stage of berserk, charged again.
Ed’s gauntlet glowed blue and the plasma beam began to warm up.
Seeing this, Alerina smiled from ear to ear.
‘That pretty-looking guy… he’s fucking cool!’
