"Whoosh!"
Amid a faint tearing sound, Shien's fist shot toward Yose like a bullet, seeming ready to smash his head apart. Even Yose's expression changed at the force it carried.
A closer look would reveal that Shien's fist was wrapped in a faint layer of magic power, making that seemingly ordinary punch incredibly terrifying.
That was one of the effects of Outer Fate of Heaven—while empty-handed, his physical body received a three-to-tenfold boost in strength according to his current physical condition, along with perfect technique.
And Shien's current physical condition was naturally at its peak. Therefore, his body had received a tenfold increase in strength.

Nearby, Nobu, who had been waiting for an opportunity to strike, no longer remained silent and let out a beastlike roar.
His body seemed to swell by an entire size in an instant. His muscles bulged, his height increased, and even his back
