Ker-clunk!

After an odd noise, the magic that illuminated the chamber dissipated.

“Huh?”

The chimera was still alive. In fact, it looked undamaged.

“Lightning Speed!”

Using my skill, I approached the monster in a flash, finishing it off while it was still wobbly from the light.

The grating sound died out. There was no sign of another chimera coming.

We did it!

“That’s my Red!” Despite Rit’s compliment, I felt a bit embarrassed that my prediction had been slightly off. “We need to see, too. Light.”

Rit’s spell illuminated the surroundings with her magic. Lavender, who was over by Van, had used a similar spell. I pulled a light stick out from my pouch, hit it against the floor to get it shining, and put it into my belt.

“That was a crazy trap,” Danan said.

“No, I don’t think it was a trap,” I replied.

“What do you mean?”

I told everyone my theory about this being a room for empowering the Hero.

Van looked shocked. “So all those monsters in that tank are for the Hero?”

During the battle, Rit, Yarandrala, Van, Albert, and I all leveled up. Such efficiency was impossible with normal fighting.

“I bet the ogrekin that Rit and I fought earlier recently escaped from this complex. It was probably for a lower-level Hero.”

The chimeras that inhabited the area around the ruins were likely descendants of those that had escaped the facility. None of them had multiple blessings, though. Maybe the technology could grant an individual creature multiple blessings, but not its offspring.

Divine Blessings were bequeathed by God. All living beings had one. No one could complain about a gift from Demis or seek to defy it. That’s what the church taught anyway. The ancient elves had broken that tenet.

I looked at Van. He’d also received an extra blessing in a way. And the Devil’s Blessing given by the contract demon did something similar. The ability to manipulate blessings was beyond human knowledge, yet it was clearly possible.

Plenty of people were unsatisfied with their blessings. And many took umbrage with having their future limited at birth.

Would humans someday develop the technology to manipulate blessings like the ancient elves?

I recalled Lavender’s comment about how they were no different from us.

“I see. So it’s like a colosseum,” Danan said as he examined a chimera corpse lying on the ground. “Running around catching monsters is a hassle, and there aren’t many that can reliably raise our blessing levels.”

“True. In that sense, I guess the intent does resemble a colosseum.”

Most cities on the continent had a fighting arena of some kind. Part of the goal was the entertainment of seeing warriors clash with each other, but the main goal was to create a setting to raise people’s levels safely. People could fight captured monsters in an environment with help ready and able if things went wrong.

Audiences enjoyed watching others fight to grow their blessings, so it became entertainment. Ultimately, colosseum matches became a show where humans could face each other in contests of skill.

It was expensive to go out and catch monsters, so to cover that expense, tickets were sold.
