Mercenary System: I can increase innate potential !-Chapter 159: Oscar
A universe had blocked the ascension of a race that could have become the strongest of all because it was afraid of it.
And it was in a situation where this race could have added many powerful men to the dimensional battlefields.
Knowing that each dimensional battlefield represented a chess piece in the war between the two universes.
But how important was each battlefield? Mankind didn’t know either.
It was good enough for them to be able to live forever and grow stronger.
Everyone hoped that monster-level geniuses would be born out of nowhere to break out of this blockade imposed by the other races.
Since they were indeed in a very humiliating position.
The human race was standing in the palm of other races, and there was nothing it could do about it.
Unable to control their own fate.
In addition to this embarrassing situation, some races even took the liberty of sending young soldiers to Earth to "train" them.
But usually this was just intimidation or the whim of some youngsters with power who wanted to have some fun.

And the humans could hardly defend themselves.
For if the strong men of the human race moved, so would those of other races.
Hence the scene of the Piran soldiers attacking Nansoy after Maxime’s first simulation.
The Piran soldiers were weak, but they wreaked havoc on the town despite the presence of many strong men nearby.
This left the humans in a position where they were despised by all the races of the Omega Universe, but feared by the races of the Delta Universe!
Indeed, humans were hardly a race to be underestimated, given that it took a top-10 race with the support of a hundred other races to maintain the blockade!
So much so, that the Delta universe sent the most powerful races in its universe to confront the humans, such as the Dravaks!
In fact, the Dravaks were one of the top 10 races in the Delta universe!
As the powers of the two universes were more or less similar, the Dravaks were to some extent comparable to the Aelodins!
Of course, the Aelodins despised these yellow-level battlefields, so they didn’t take part in them.
The truly strong Dravaks also despised yellow-level battlefields, but unfortunately their race was not as extraordinarily talented as the Aelodins.
But they weren’t bad, they had extraordinary potential to exploit and, above all, they were far more fertile than the Aelodins.
The Dravaks’ main asset was that they could awaken the dormant blood of their ancestors through combat.
In other words, to awaken their bloodline.
Once their bloodline was awakened, their strength didn’t improve much in the long term, but this made them eligible to train in the Dravak ancestral manual corresponding to their bloodline.
This manual appeared naturally in their minds with the awakening of the bloodline, and once practiced, reinforced the purity of the carrier’s bloodline.
Strengthening the purity of their blood not only improved their physique, but also awakened exceptional talents and skills.
The effects of the talents and skills awakened depended on the bloodline awakened, as there were indeed different bloodlines.
Some were much stronger than others.
So the Dravaks had created their own system for classifying bloodlines.
But this classification could be explained later.
What was important to know was that, regardless of lineage rank, every Dravak warrior who had awakened his ancestral blood could become a man feared by every race in the universe.
However, like the Aelodins, it was also unfortunate for the Dravaks that God was just.
Firstly, it really wasn’t easy for the Dravaks to awaken their bloodline.
The odds were about one in 1,000.
Secondly, virtually all the Dravaks’ ancestral manuals focused on improving blood purity through combat.
The method of awakening and the method of progression were therefore similar.
Of course, Dravak geniuses could also simply practice at home without endangering their lives, but their progress would be extremely slow, and they would die of old age before they could be considered strong in the war of universes.
So the Dravak royal family, who ruled all the Dravaks thanks to a lineage exclusive to them and the strongest of all, used the dimensional battlefield both to conquer the Omega universe and to improve the strength of their race!
They were the complete opposite of the Aelodins, who considered each and every one of them a genius.
They wouldn’t let them take any risks whatsoever until they had grown up enough and developed a certain combat strength.
In any case, the young Dravaks had the capital to despise the human race, or at least their youngsters who hadn’t been able to use Eternity to boost their combat power significantly!
...
But as the two young Dravaks chatted and laughed at the young human, they suddenly saw him looking in their direction.
The next moment, they could no longer see the young man’s silhouette.
"Huh? Where did he go?" asked one of the Dravaks.
Then he looked in the direction of battalion commander Kaelor, but in the latter’s eyes, he could only detect surprise.
"Why is he looking like that?"
No sooner had he asked this question in his mind, than he felt his eyesight tilt and come dangerously close to the ground.
Then, as his head hit the ground, he lost consciousness forever.
From Kaelor’s point of view, Maxime had lunged at his warriors at lightning speed, surprising even the most hardened Dravak warriors in the battalion.
In particular, he swooped down on a group of two ordinary Dravaks. His blade glinted in the air, and in a few swift movements, he cut down the 2 with surgical precision.
A third, standing nearby and barely able to make out Maxime’s silhouette, was terrified. He stumbled back, but Maxime cut him in half with a precise movement before he could move away.
The scene had unfolded in a matter of seconds, but it left a stunned silence on the battlefield. Discover exclusive tales on novelbuddy
The Dravaks who had laughed at him moments earlier exchanged stunned glances.
There were all sorts of thoughts emanating from the now silent crowd.
"How strong can this little guy be?"
"If I had to face him, I don’t know if I could keep my head on my shoulders..."
"I knew Dravius would never submit to an ordinary human, hmm."
Several Dravaks had different opinions, but all of them no longer dared to underestimate this human despite his young age!
Kaelor frowned, his contempt replaced by calculated caution.
Maxime turned off the laser of his sword with disconcerting serenity, then turned to Dravius, Langus and Kaite.
"Dravius, you don’t need to defend my honor." he said with a light smile.
"I’m perfectly capable of defending it myself."
Langus and Kaite exchanged amused glances, while Dravius, though still angry, couldn’t help but nod.
The two knights in particular had a good grasp of their leader’s temperament.
They thought that even if it was Duke Devron mocking Maximus in front of him, their leader would dare to draw his sword and cut him in two!
Even if the duke was a great knight!
Nothing could reason with this man’s madness, least of all two ordinary Dravaks.
The third Dravak hadn’t said anything, but he’d smiled at the other two’s mockery, so he could only go along with them from Maxime’s point of view.
As for the rest who had laughed, they could only count themselves lucky to have survived a catastrophe.
Kaelor, however, was not the type to be impressed so easily. He stepped forward again, his spear lowering slowly, ready to engage this young adversary who had just proved his worth.
He himself was a famous warrior in his tribe, and no weaker than some Dravaks who had succeeded in awakening their bloodline!
"Very well, human." his face showed intense rage.
"You asked for it, prepare to die."
Kaelor’s wings opened wide, casting an imposing shadow. Tension mounted as the Shibuya once again pointed their weapons in front of them, feeling the pressure mounting.
But just then, a female figure fell from the sky and crashed violently not far from the small group.
A great cloud of smoke was created at that moment, with no one able to see exactly who the fallen figure was.
Then everyone looked up to see a Dravak flapping its wings at high altitude.
The Dravak dived swiftly towards the fallen human, obviously intent on finishing off its prey!
Seeing this scene, the Shibuya didn’t hesitate and immediately opened fire in the direction of the Dravak!
The latter was temporarily pushed back, and seeing his comrades on the ground, he joined them and landed directly beside Kaelor.
"Oscar, you’re here" said Kaelor, in a simple tone mixed with a hint of respect and awe.
Maxime watched this new Dravak arrive, and could see two faint bumps on his forehead.
At the same time, he noticed that Dravus was reacting particularly strongly to this Dravak named Oscar.
"Yeah," Oscar replied in a bored tone.
His armor was still clean, as if he hadn’t been in combat.
"So, is she?" asked Kaelor out of curiosity, looking at the human who had fallen violently to the ground.
"Leila, from Shibuya." replied Oscar simply, in a casual tone.
"She really doesn’t deserve her reputation with such weak strength," he continued.
It’s a good thing they were both speaking in Dravak language, otherwise the Shibuya nearby would have been shocked by these words, and more importantly, they would have exploded in anger.
For his part, Maxime heard and understood these words.
He was immediately shocked that a mercenary captain respected by the fortress commander and all the battalion commanders should land violently on the ground, his life and death unknown.
But although he had a small affair with her, her life and death weren’t that important to him.
Only that of his men and his family was really important.
But at that moment, a question still hovered in the back of his mind.
"Dravus, who’s this guy?" asked Maxime, eyebrows furrowed.
"Oscar, and he’s a Dravak who managed to awaken his blood."
