"He was already famous when he was still in the Royal Capital five years ago, and it's said that since he turned twenty, no one has been able to defeat him," Claudio said.
"The Hercules that you defeated outside the Second Knight Corps' camp the day before yesterday was very strong indeed, but he still falls far short compared with the Earth Bear.
"The leader of the First Knight Order's sixth division, Steve, whose martial arts skills have always been powerful, a master even within the whole Royal Knight Order, lasted less than twenty moves against the Earth Bear before he was defeated.
"And that was the Earth Bear's strength before he encountered the Priest of Cornelia. After drinking the Awakening Potion, he's become even stronger, so much so that he's transcended the understanding of ordinary people, and he has the support of the Life Goddess behind him.
