Two figures were watching Baphomet and Randolph from the skies. One of them floated with his pair of black wings and the other with his magic power.
"Looks like he's already drinking it. Your potions always amaze me, Doc. Ha...ha...ha..."
<Forced Growth Potion> allows the drinker to gain fives times level every time the user successfully leveled up. The user doesn't get tired and doesn't feel hungry or thirsty. However, there are side effects that make the user's body hot like burning. It has a similar effect to berserk skill.
"If you want something, you have to sacrifice something else. After all, this is only the first scenario for that boy's development. There are two scenarios more waiting for him. That's effect not just because my best alchemist skills, a little drops of your blood that make those potions effect even crazier" added Doc.
"Well...you're right. I wish that kid was already entering the second scenario when those Lycans came back after him"
...and I make sure he's strong enough when I need him in the third scenario," Shadow added in his mind.
The effect of the potions given to this kid was extraordinary. A person with a level below 50 would actually not be able to survive in this forest although there was a higher rank with him. the use of this potion will go crazy. It's like a possessed person. He won't have consciousness due to that potion's effect. The only thing in their head right now was to kill everything in front of them. The strange thing is Baphomet can make Randolph awake without taking debuff of that potion.
"I think I know why you hand over that kid to Mr. Baphomet," said Doc amazed.
There's no other reaction at Shadow. But it feels like Doc knows that Shadow smiling behind that mask.
"I thought he hadn't the strength to beats those immortals. But, I was 100% wrong. Shadow has an irrational thought and it's always successfully worked. If this goes well, surely that person will make his crazy dream come true," said Baphomet's in his heart.

[Randolph Exhales]
"Can we rest for a bit, Mr. Baphomet? I can't move anymore. I guess this is my limit for today"
Baphomet who heard those bubbling just looked at Randolph with an insulted look.
"Turns out I misjudged you..., you are far too weak to be a knight."
"Shit...this guy underestimated me," Randolph retorted inwardly
Randolph had been training in Szolba Forest for four months. Yet this monstrous training was not unimaginable to his mind.
In addition to the Forced Growth Potion that he must drink on the first day. Randolph gives commands to him that he must be wearing clothes with a total weight of 100 kg which is divided into five parts. Two parts on the arms, three parts on the legs and the other weight on the back. He also must give the last hit to these monsters.
"I won't give up"
Baphomet was seen giving off a faint smile that was not shown to Randolph.
"Then we will start again kid!!, shouted Baphomet excitedly.
"Drap...drap...."
Baphomet started running towards the gathered kobolds, the greatsword he was holding was only used to paralyze the target and reduce their health points instead of killing them.
In one fell swoop, eight until ten monsters were successfully knocked out by the greatsword.
"Randolph, now it's your turn!"
"Boost Strength level 1 - on"
"Boost Attack level 1 - on"
"Boost Block level 1 - on"
"Boost Physical Defense level 1 - on"
"Boost Speed level 1 - on"
Randolph activates several spells to increase his stats.
"Wrathful Impact level 1..."
"Booomb-..."
Attack skills in the form of kicks or punches aimed at the ground make a paralyzed monster die immediately from the attack. However, that doesn't mean they're done. Baphomet was still attacking the other kobolds.
"You have leveled up..."
"You have levele..."
"Check your status right now. I wanna know how much you've grown now," said Baphomet to him.
"Open Status," replied Randolph.

"Quest: Survive in the Szolba Forest & reached level 55"
" I've reached level 30 now..."
Baphomet felt that Randolph reaching level 30 was enough for him to beat the monsters here alone. However, he still feels needs to supervise him.
"Randolph, you can try to kill those kobolds by yourselves. If you've got into trouble i can help you"
Randolph tightened his fist. Then he unleashed the skills he fully possessed countless times without stopping.
"Severe Jab...:
Randolph's consecutive blows dealt one of the kobolds that taunted off by Baphomet's taunts, followed by a skill that could slam the opponent and break his bones.
"Hey...-"
"Body Smash...-"
"Argh.."
The kobold monsters that had been very aggressive when they first saw Randolph ran wild. With the help of Baphomet earlier, the kobold village was destroyed.
Next, Baphomet taunts two of the three kobold monsters to Randolph, while Randolph received it with a spinning kick.
"Blasting Kick"
"Groooowwlll...."
"This is the last one Randolph, destroy them!"
"Crushing Elbow"
"Guaah..."
Just as the last kobold was defeated several notices appeared before his eyes.
"You have leveled up"
"You have lev..."
"You have..."
"You...
"7 levels...that's more than enough," said Randolph who looked out of breath.
"Hhhh...hhh...hah"
"Bruk..."
Randolph falls to the ground, his body unable to move no matter how much he wanted to.
"Shit... I'm feeling so fucking tired"
"Fatigue reached 100/100, after effect unconscious will start in 5 sec..."
("This kid does have the same personality as you, Luna. Both of you don't give up easily," said Baphomet in his heart.)
"Grrr"
Baphomet was walking quietly when he heard a roar from far away.
But he paused and said something.
"Superbia, watch over this kid while I hunts the rat"
A black shadow appeared right around Randolph and made a shield which protects him.
"My mens!, My village..."
"I will kill whoever destroys my village, shouted a Kobold Major in deep rage.
Usually every forest there must be a kobold race that inhabits in it. Each kobold race in the forest is led by a kobold who can think intelligently and can speak human language.
"If I were you, I wouldn't give off an aura that would make you known to opponents"
Those words took the Kobold Major by surprise. As far as he knows, there are no creatures around him a while ago.
"You...how long have you been here?! Even I couldn't feels your presence until now. Who are you? Answer! Did you know that I am the supreme leader of the Kobold race in this forest as well as the strongest mage!"
"Hhh...a big mouse snapped at me. I wanted to talk to you, but your arrogance tried surpassed Superbia's arrogance. Do you know that I don't like it when people are more arrogant than me and him?!"
"Hahaha...kill this creature Bapho...only we are allowed to have endless arrogance," said someone from the bottom of Baphomet's heart.
"Magma Vitalis Life Absorber..."
Baphomet's left hand unleashed a hot magma that the Kobold Major couldn't dodge. His body was scorched and his life was absorbed by that's skill.
In the midst of the torture that the Kobold Major endured, a word came out.
"This skill... this power... you are..."
