Chapter 332 Alister: Yo!
In response to Brandyn's refusal, Alister commented, "If you do that, you will alert Delia and the two traitors. The time you called for reinforcements, Delia would have already left."
Hearing Alister's comment, Brandyn asked, "What's your suggestion then?"
Anticipating Brandyn's question, Alister replied, "I'll use my trump card to have the power of a Grand Mage for sixty seconds. However, I can only use this once per day but this should suffice."
Hearing Alister's words, Brandyn was surprised and couldn't help but confirm, "You sure you aren't joking? That's impossible! Although our world barely knows about the capabilities of you Chaos Heroes, it's too wishful to have the power of a Grand Mage even just for one minute when you are only a 1st-Circle Mage."
"Even if you could indeed become a Grand Mage, does that trump card of yours have any side effects? If you don't know, I have also been assigned to protect the safety of you heroes aside from training you all. I can't allow any of you to die or be disabled."
In response to Brandyn's question, Alister nonchalantly replied, "Don't question my capabilities. I do what I want to do. I can do it because I can. If I can't do it, I won't say it. I don't lie."
"As for side effects, didn't I already say that I can only use it once per day? In other words, I can have the power of a Grand Mage for 60 seconds every day. That cooldown resets every midnight so even if I use that 60 seconds to become a Grand Mage at 11:59 PM, I can still become a Grand Mage at midnight."
Alister used his Chaos Hero class to his advantage. He knew that the Pope and King barely knew about the Chaos Hero's authority so even if makes some stuff up, they wouldn't doubt it much.
After all, the Pope had the capability of sensing the "Hero" within the heroes. So the Pope would at least know that he was a genuine hero and that's all that matters.
Furthermore, this so-called trump card of his could allow him to have a leeway in using his demigod power. He could also use it to indirectly threaten the King and the Pope to not do any funny business towards the heroes and him.
With how bitch the princesses were and how shady the King and the Pope were, Alister didn't want any of them to ruin his hero-summoning experience.
He still wanted to experience the life of a summoned hero. After all, Alister had read such novels in his past life and he had fantasized about such events happening to him as well.
When Brandyn registered what Alister had told him, Brandyn couldn't still believe Alister's words since it was too cheating to have 60 seconds' worth of Grand Mage power.
After all, 60 seconds was more than enough for a Grand Mage to easily kill several Master Mages, and that included Master Warriors like Brandyn.
Brandyn couldn't accept that a hero who was just summoned could use 60 seconds to easily defeat and incapacitate him. But having known the Chaos Hero's personality when chatting with him before, Brandyn knew that the Chaos Hero wasn't someone who would lie about something he couldn't do.
After reluctantly accepting Alister's words as the truth, Brandyn asks, "How certain are you that you can defeat Delia in 60 seconds? It's not that I doubt your trump card, but you are still a newly summoned hero so unless you learned combat in your previous world, it would still be difficult for you to defeat a Master Mage while being an inexperienced temporary Grand Mage."
Knowing that to see was to believe, Alister no longer cared about Brandyn's question and didn't answer him.
Instead, he activated his so-called "trump card" and temporarily released his Grand Mage power but didn't release the rest of his power such as Grand Warrior power.
After releasing his Grand Mage power, a surge of chaos-attributed mana was released from Alister's body which alerted the King, Pope, as well as Delia.

"Damn! How come that bitch's scent is on one of those heroes?"
Delia didn't even care about maintaining her noble appearance as she cursed when noticing the surge of chaos-attributed mana outside the royal palace.
Nikui Noroi and Takahashi Ken who were in the same room as Delia could also detect the chaos-attributed mana not because they were powerful and had a wide perception range, but because the chaos-attributed mana was just too oppressive.
Furthermore, the chaos-attributed mana seemed to target them as its appearance alone had locked the surrounding space in Nikui Noroi's room, preventing Delia from teleporting outside and returning to her hideout.
Delia could detect that the chaos-attributed mana on Alister's body had the same scent as Zanna's chaos-attributed mana. After all, Alister used Zanna's Chaos Formation Technique to forge his mana core and mana circles.
Although Zanna rarely went out of the Mystic Forest, Delia could still know about it due to the demons being wary of Zanna. After all, Zanna was the only native inhabitant in this world who defeated a Demon King if the heroes ever failed.
The Dragon King could rarely defeat a Demon King and at most, he could only stall a Demon King until Zanna arrived.
Because of that, the demons never wanted to cross paths with Zanna. As long as a Demon King wasn't dumb, they would warn their demon army about Zanna's existence and that's why Delia recognized Alister's chaos-attributed mana.
Furthermore, it was a dead giveaway since there were rarely any mages or warriors who used chaos-attributed mana or aura. It was rare for someone to use the chaos element because having the magic affinity and aptitude for it was also very rare.
Although she couldn't escape from the room due to the chaos-attributed mana hindering her, Delia didn't give up yet and continued attacking the chaos-attributed mana in Nikui Noroi's room.
But before she could continue attacking it, Alister, Brandyn, and the rest of the heroes arrived in Nikui Noroi's room.
Looking at the desperate Delia, Alister smiled and greeted, "Yo!"
