Chapter 132: The Coordination of Two Blessings
Several days later, in the depths of the Arend Island Labyrinth, within the Moilai Temple.
Inside a massive tent partitioned off within the hall, Leon, transformed into his Werewolf form, panted like a true beast, adjusting his breathing as steam rose from his body.
After completing the Bestowal Ceremony in the major diocese, he had returned to South Harbor County without pause. Once he had handled numerous miscellaneous affairs, he came back to Arend Island and entered the temple in the depths of the Labyrinth—the most concealed and secure place available to him—to begin testing the power of the Blessings he had obtained.
After some simple trials, he discovered that, just as he had envisioned, even after transforming into his Werewolf form through Moilai’s Blessing, he could still draw upon the Supreme God’s Blessing to cast the divine art of time acceleration upon himself.
With the physique of a Werewolf, his tolerance for the physiological burden caused by time acceleration far surpassed that of his normal state.
In his ordinary condition, even increasing his movements to roughly one and a half times speed could only be sustained for about seven seconds, as measured by his pocket watch. If he pushed it beyond double speed, the duration would shrink drastically—he could not last even two seconds. Of course, from his accelerated perspective, that amounted to roughly four seconds.
If used in combat, such a brief window would only suffice for something like a quick-draw contest. Yet firearms of this era were not particularly practical, and afterward he would suffer intense discomfort due to the corrective effect mentioned by Archbishop Miller.
By comparison, the Foundational Blessing of the God of War, which directly and comprehensively enhanced physical capabilities, seemed far more respectable.
But now, with the support of his Werewolf physique, his baseline physical ability alone already surpassed that of ordinary recipients of the God of War’s Blessing. When activating double-speed acceleration, he could now endure for over thirty seconds—subjectively, it felt like more than a minute.
