Garion tried to stand, but the pressure pressing down on him was just too much.

And not only that, around him, dozens of flame and thunder swords hovered, pointing their tips at him.

He could only lift his head and look up at Raviel, who was calmly floating about half a meter above.

But despite this bad situation, Garion didn't frown but instead smiled.

"So this is the real power of the third realm, huh? The power of the god."

Raviel only smirked, crossing his arms and looking at the pressed Garion.

"Now do you understand, Gairon? Why there are so few who reach this realm? Why this is the current peak of cultivation?"

Garion didn't answer, still catching his breath.

Raviel continued, his tone casual.

"Because it's already so strong. The third realm doesn't need anything beyond it. No normal person can even dream of reaching it."

He stretched out one hand lazily, mana swirling around him.

"Now, let's see if you can still challenge the power of a god."

The flame and thunder swords began to move slowly toward Garion, forming a deadly circle.

Garion's body trembled as he tried to force himself to stand up, grinning widely.

"So this is what it takes to be called a god in this world, huh?"

He turned to Raviel, grinning even wider.

"Let's see if a mortal can still punch one."

In the next instant, mana erupted from Garion's body like a wave.

His aura, which had been faint before, flared brightly, pushing against the crushing pressure of the domain.

"[Body Reinforcement - Limit Burst]!"

Raviel's eyes widened a little.

"You... you're standing...? Impressive. As expected of you, Sect Leader Garion."

Garion smirked, his eyes locked onto Raviel.

"This is still nothing. I'm just getting started."

He pulled his right arm back and clenched both hands tight.

His body leaned forward slightly, his feet digging into the dirt.

"I'll show you something even better."

He focused his mana into his arms, condensing it until it buzzed.

Then he aimed his left hand at one of the incoming swords.

"[Bullet Punch]!"

His right arm shot forward, and a compressed blast of energy exploded from his fist.

It hit the first sword directly, shattering it into sparks of fire and lightning.

Raviel's eyes narrowed in surprise.

"What!?"

But Garion didn't stop. He pulled back his right arm and threw his left forward.

Another blast fired out from his left hand, breaking through a second sword.

Then again and again.

"[Bullet Punch]! [Bullet Punch]! [Bullet Punch]!"

Each punch sent another compressed shot through the air, destroying the hovering swords one after another.

Boom after boom echoed across the empty field, creating shockwaves that kicked up dust all around.

Raviel lifted one arm to block the flying debris, his expression tightening slightly.

"He's breaking them all...?"

Garion kept going, his fists becoming a blur, moving faster with every strike.

"Don't think this'll be enough to stop me, Raviel!"

The last sword flew straight toward him, and Garion met it head-on.

He twisted his body, both arms moving in perfect rhythm, and unleashed one final punch.

"[Bullet Punch]!"

The sword exploded into pieces, lightning scattering in the air like broken glass.

When the dust settled, Garion stood tall again, chest rising and falling.

His hands were smoking from the heat, but they were just fine with no serious injuries.

He looked up at Raviel, still smirking.

"So, Patriarch Raviel, is that all your domain's got? Is that all the power of God that you have?"

Raviel lowered his hand slowly. The surprise on his face slowly faded, replaced by a wide grin.

"No... because that's only the demonstration, and now..."

His tone deepened, filled with authority.

"I'll show you the real strength... not just the power of the third realm... but the power of the Revalis Clan."

He spread his arms wide, and the air began to tremble. Red and yellow lightning began to crackle across the sky.

"[Flaming Storm Domain]!"

In an instant, everything changed.

The world around them twisted into a storm of flame and thunder, burning the air itself.

Fire spun like a living storm while yellow lightning danced across the ground, striking at random.

Then the pressure came, and it was stronger than before, forcing Garion to kneel down once again.

Garion clenched his teeth as he fought to stay standing. The ground under him cracked, and steam rose from his body.

Raviel floated above him, looking down with a smirk.

"So... what do you think now, Garion? This is the real power of a god."

Garion groaned, his body trembling. He could feel every cell screaming under the weight of the pressure.

"Damn... this pressure's crazy."

He tried to straighten up but couldn't.

The flames lashed against his skin, lightning capped his arms, and burning marks appeared across his body.

But they didn't bother Garion at all. Instead, he changed his stance.

He dropped his palms to the ground, stretching his leg behind, forming a push-up stance.

Raviel looked at Garion and blinked once.

"What... are you doing?"

Garion looked up at him with a grin, sweat and blood already dripping from his face.

"If I can't fight you, I might as well train."

Raviel stared for a moment before laughing.

"You're training? inside my domain?"

Garion grinned, lowering himself, then pushing up again.

"That's right. The pressure's heavy, the heat is insane, the lightning burns... it's quite a wonderful training place."

Raviel chuckled, shaking his head.

"You even have time to think about training under this? You're really something else."

Then Raviel's grin widened.

"Then, let's see how long your workout can last before you go down."

He clenched his fist, and the demon roared louder as he strengthened it.

The flames surged higher, the thunder struck faster, and the pressure increased again.

Garion's arms shook violently as his hands dug into the ground, causing it to crack under his palms.

His voice comes out rough but determined.

"Ten... eleven... twelve..."

Raviel was amused watching Garion continue.

Even when thunder struck just beside his head, leaving a scorch mark on the ground, he didn't stop.

"You're completely insane."

Garion gritted his teeth while pushing through another rep.

"You finally noticed, huh..."
