"…Are we really doing this?"
The hesitation and trepidation was plain Lili's voice as they approached their destination. The home base of the Soma Familia.
"Shouldn't we have a plan or something?" she asked, looking down at him from where she rode atop his shoulders.
Honestly, her growing trepidation the closer they got was understandable. It was the home to a familia that had terrorized her all her life.
With her directions, it was very easy to find the place and not even half an hour later after leaving the Dian Cecht main store behind, he meandered down the road towards their destination.
"I already have a plan." Caelan replied with a bright smile.
"You do?" Lili blinked and looked down at him, "What kind of plan? Why didn't you tell me Mr. Caelan?"
"Cuz it's a simple plan and you just need to enjoy the ride," he laughed, "Step one - beat the shit out of them all. Step two, slap around Soma and make him release you from his familia. Step three, go get some lunch to make our date nice and proper."
"Eh…?" Lili stared down at him gobsmacked, her mouth opening and closing as she tried and failed to find words for a few moments, "That's….that's not a plan Mr. Caelan!"
Yes it was.
It was a great plan.
The best plan.
He had spent a whole five seconds making this plan after all. And that was a whole five seconds more than the Soma scrub familia were worth.
"…This is going to go horribly wrong." Lili bit her lip as they approached the massive iron cast gate covering the front of the massive property.
Honestly, looking at the Soma Familia's place, Caelan had to admit it wasn't all that bad looking. It was massive, akin to a four sided castle, even had four large guard tower points at each side.
And there was even a lookout tower above the front gate with two men clad in simple leather armour keeping watch.
The massive castle like home was dark in colour, almost gothic looking. It actually looked pretty good, but it was pretty drab in style.
This was not a place one would find a sweet swimming pool in which his sexy short stack goddess and sexy short stack transformer would lounge around in skimpy bikini's.
Therefor, it wasn't a place he would like to live.
Two out of ten.
"What, don't you believe in me?" Caelan asked her with a grin.
"…That's not it!" Lili immediately shook her head, "I know Mr. Caelan is strong, stupidly strong, but the Soma familia has hundreds of members, over two hundred and has two level two's on top of that."
"Two hundred times zero is still zero Lili-pops," Caelan shrugged a bit, just enough to jostle her, "Don't worry about it. Just sit back, hold on tight and enjoy the show. And after we're done here, you'll be free, we can continue our date and maybe make out a little-"
"Hey you, the hell are you doing down there?" he was cut off as one of the guards in the tower noticed him and shouted down at him quite aggressively, "Have you got an appointment or s-"
He was cut off in return, not by a voice though. But rather, the sound that was a cross been a building hum and a static vibration that drowned out his voice. Caelan lifted his right hand, index finger pointed outwards and a sphere of light swirling and condensing around the tip of his finger-
Before abruptly exploding outwards in the shape of a massive and rapid beam of golden light wider than a man was tall. The golden beam of light swept over the guard tower and utterly obliterated it, the pair of guards hitting the ground moments later amongst a rain of debris, beaten, bloodied and unconscious.
"Rude cunts cutting me off," Caelan huffed, lifting his finger up and blowing atop it as if it were a smoking gun, "They better be grateful I kept my Cero low on power."
Lili just gaped at the abrupt and brutal destruction, "….I thought that was the beam power from the Light Quartz?" she mumbled.
Nope.
It was totally a Cero.
A moment later, loud shouts of anger and panic resounded throughout the area beyond the gate. And was immediately followed by a loud alarm that was so loud Caelan could barely hear himself think.
Well, nothing for it.
With Lili still atop his shoulders, Caelan walked the last few paces towards the gate and clenched his fist, winding it back. And then once he reached it, he unleashed his arm in a massively powerful punch.
The impact of his fist meeting the massive gate resounded even louder than the bell, like that of a missile hitting ground. The wall the gate was bolted into rumbled and spiderweb cracks spread across it.
What a sturdy gate.
Exquisite craftsmanship.
Caelan unleashed a second punch with his other arm, and once again it held strong, even as more spiderweb cracks spread across the walls it was bolted into and one of the hinges popped off.
Pop quiz time.
How strong was someone with a falna?
If you said superhuman, you were right. See, from what Caelan had been able to gather, there was an immediate benefit to the falna being given, and it wasn't a small boost.
It wasn't even just a starting multiplier. No, from what he had gathered there was an immediate invisible add on the falna gave upon being given and then their physical abilities, magic power and such was increased by roughly by a factor of one and a half to three times.
There was a reason why even the likes of Bell Cranel, a stringy little lad with no muscle or training to speak of and biceps as wide as a spaghetti noodle was immediately able to handle monsters in the dungeon when even the likes of his grandfather, who was much bigger and much broader in build could barely handle a goblin on the surface which would have been much weaker than even one on the first floor of the dungeon.
And that same boost seemed to apply to level ups from what Caelan had been able to notice of his own increases in ability. All thanks to the instinctual ability to gauge and use his power effectively he had with Typhon.
