Viktor only evolved two pieces of equipment, and if all the remaining equipment were to be evolved, it would require far too many Geo.

Moreover, if it fails even once, it would be a complete waste.

Know when to stop.

Victor tapped his finger in the air, putting two of the pieces of equipment into his backpack.

"Next, it's time to test their power."

He turned and walked outside, and Vega quickly flapped his wings and flew onto his shoulder.

The heavy wooden door to the basement creaked open and then slammed shut.

A dull thud echoed throughout the basement.

...

Darkness, all darkness.

The hut was made entirely of stone and didn't even have a single lamp lit.

Elsa, who was sleeping in the depths of darkness, sat up in bed with empty eyes and her head hanging down.

It was as if he had completely lost consciousness.

Three days have passed since she left the Raiser family.

Elsa remained in this state for the past three days.

Whenever she thought of the war magic cast by Victor.

Her body would then begin to tremble uncontrollably.

Even though the horrific scenes of slaughter could flash before his eyes.

The door slowly opened, and a beam of light shone in from the tall doorway, illuminating Elsa's pale and haggard face.

After not seeing the sun for a long time, she subconsciously reached out to shield her eyes from the sunlight.

A stinging pain filled her eyes.

As my eyes gradually adjusted to the light, I could see the person walking into the house.

Ding-dong—

Two crisp sounds—the sound of metal colliding with rock.

Two pieces of equipment were thrown onto the ground.

Elsa slowly lowered her head, looking at the suit of armor and blade lying on the ground, her mind somewhat dazed.

She had seen that armor when she was with the Raiser family.

It is a rare monster known as Mosteri, crafted from parts that fall from its body.

Elsa also knew about the other blade.

Forged from rare molten iron from a volcano, its power should not be underestimated.

These extremely valuable pieces of equipment were all prepared for the Raiser family's expeditionary force.

Looking at them, Elsa knew perfectly well that the Raiser family had agreed to compensate Victor.

"Put it on and take up arms."

The familiar, cold voice rang out, and Elsa stood up numbly. In front of Viktor, she cleanly and neatly removed the cloth armor wrapped around her body.

Completely disregarding her exposed skin, she bent down, easily donned her armor, and picked up her blade.

The moment she put on the armor, she felt an extremely powerful force empowering her.

This is unreasonable.

If this equipment came from the Leiser family, it wouldn't be able to grant the user such significant power.

She could hardly believe it, but her body didn't lie.

Viktor quietly watched Elsa's level and health above her head.

Lv41

The effect is very obvious.

These items significantly increased her health.

Elsa is currently wearing ordinary armor and weapons that have been enhanced to the extreme.

However, he still hopes to see Elsa perform in actual combat.

Then he looked at Elsa and said.

"Didn't you want to see Cindy?"

Upon hearing the voice, Elsa slowly raised her head and looked at Victor.

A flicker of emotion finally appeared in those empty eyes.

"Then come with me."

After saying this, Viktor left the cabin.

Elsa quickly followed behind, her armor posing little obstacle to her.

On the contrary, she felt that her body had become much lighter.

She followed behind Viktor, her gaze involuntarily drifting to his neck.

Viktor seems completely unprepared right now...

Elsa couldn't help but have an idea.

If we were to ambush him now...

Will we be able to succeed?

Once the idea took hold, it was impossible to shake off.

Now, she is wearing extremely powerful armor.

The sharp blade in her hand brought her unimaginable power.

Now, if we launch a surprise attack, it will definitely work.

Because he was just a mage, at such close range, a mage simply couldn't withstand the attack of an assassin of the same level.

Unable to withstand...?

Suddenly, Elsa recalled the scene of her fighting Viktor.

In close combat, she was completely overwhelmed.

There was absolutely no hope of winning.

The idea that had just arisen vanished without a trace in an instant.

Unbeknownst to her, Viktor had crushed all her confidence to shreds.

Even though she now possesses immense power, and even though the opportunity is within her grasp.

She would also think so.

Victor was just deliberately creating an opening for her.

Or rather, he simply doesn't care about his sneak attack.

He is very strong, so strong that he is unreasonable.

Even if I were to launch a surprise attack beforehand.

Viktor would probably handle that easily.

Elsa completely lost the will to fight.

She kept her head down and continued to follow behind Viktor.

She didn't notice it in the instant she lowered her head.

The black raven's eyes were constantly watching her.
