A blonde figure gracefully traversed the scorched earth.
Erica was clutching a bulging money bag tightly in her hand.
At this moment, she was filled with immense joy and excitement as she happily strolled through this desolate land surrounded by colorful flowers and plants.
With each step, the money bag in his hand made a crisp, pleasant clinking sound of gold coins.
The surrounding flowers and plants seemed to come alive because of her victory, and they all stood up and bowed in respect.
She has successfully defeated the boatman Charon and left the Styx's territory.
Erica walked along the road, nervously recalling the fierce battle that had just taken place.
Although her scythe struck Charon hard, Charon, being essentially a skeleton, seemed completely unharmed.
When the scythe pierced his skull, not a single drop of blood flowed, let alone a trace of dark soul fire.
Of course, it's normal that there's no blood, since it's just a skeleton.
But when the other party made a final movement, it startled Erica.
Because she is now getting incredibly close to him.
If the other party reacts in time and the oar comes crashing down, she might be killed on the spot.
Fortunately, Charon did not act unethically and instead swung his oar at Erica's head.
After being struck in the head, Charon either suddenly had a breakthrough or realized his defeat.
Instead of attacking Erica again, it pulled the scythe from its head and returned it to her.
It retracted its oars, and the transparent vessel that had almost obscured the entire River Styx gradually shrank back.
Erica then watched with trepidation as Charon safely brought her to the shore.
When she disembarked and looked back, Charon had already sailed back into the thick river mist.
Charon did not take back the money bag that Erica had initially stolen.
Erica then truly realized that she had defeated this powerful boatman god.
The money pouch in his hand appears to be a divine token given to him by Charon.
Now, having defeated Charon, her reputation has soared.
Every time he passed by the spirits of the dead, he would attract many admiring and envious glances.
They gathered together, watching Erica leave with focused gazes.
Only after Erica had gone far away did the surrounding spirits dare to whisper among themselves, expressing their amazement and admiration for her power.
"She's too powerful; even Charon isn't her match."
"This is the first time I've ever seen anyone get on Charon's ship without paying, and even manage to steal gold coins from it."
"The great Lady Erica has once again defeated the god she had her eye on."
Erica now possesses keen senses, and she can hear these whispers clearly.
She couldn't help but feel a sense of pride; all these achievements made her feel incredibly honored.
Listen to that, how prestigious it is!
Even the Queen of the Underworld had to pay to board the ship, yet this human not only didn't have to pay, but was even able to snatch a bag of gold coins back from Charon.
Although this was different from her initial plan, it was at least a meaningful gain.
After all, at first, she even wanted to take all the gold coins from Charon, including his mouthful of gold teeth.
When she first arrived in the Underworld, Charon charged her two gold coins, and this idea began to take root in her mind.
Now, Erica has achieved her goal.
"Not bad either."
She weighed the money pouch in her hand, listening to the clear clinking of the gold coins inside, and felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
Although she was born into an aristocratic family and had seen a great deal of wealth.
But this bag of gold coins was something she had taken from the gods, and it had special symbolic meaning.
Who would have thought that she once had to abide by Charon's various rules when facing him?
She also had to consider whether the other party would realize she was alive and throw her back into the River Styx.
But now, she has actually defeated her opponent and snatched the money bag from its hands.
Thinking about all this, a satisfied smile appeared on Erica's face.
She also knew that this might be the only chance she could snatch the purse from Charon.
Let's not even talk about whether Charon would accept her challenge again.
Even if he were to challenge Charon again, the key question would still be whether he could defeat him.
This victory was solely due to her exploiting Charon's weakness.
The key was that Charon protected the purse to prevent her from stealing the money, and besides, she wasn't even going for the purse in the first place.
If Charon had seen through her intentions, the situation might have been completely different.
In conclusion, Erica decided to stop being greedy.
Victor noticed all of Erica's changing emotions.
He was also somewhat satisfied.
Over the course of several months, Erica not only learned how to fight, but also how to advance and retreat.
At least for now, he can rest assured that Erica can go and fight on her own.
"It's time to let her go and participate in the trial on her own."
Sensing Viktor's thoughts, Vega raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
It fluttered its wings and landed on Erica's shoulder, tidying its somewhat ruffled feathers, and said to Victor:
"What do you mean, you're letting her participate in the trial by herself?"
But Victor did not answer Vega's question.
His cold, deep voice resonated in Erica's heart:
"Let's move on to the final training session."
These words made Erica pause slightly in surprise.
But soon she nodded.
Erica took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, Victor had regained control of the body.
