Chapter 95

Nemo, using his skill, quickly dealt with his opponents.

Following him, Eulalia also defeated a platinum-ranked beast, which the couple recognized as a feline-type monster. The beast had two tails, black fur, and sharp claws on its paws.

The beast turned out to be fast and cunning.

At first, Eulalia studied her opponent, not letting him slip away and escape when he realized that he could not defeat her. She set up a lot of spell traps and eventually immobilized the beast, not giving it a chance to escape.

In the end, there was only Liam, fighting the second platinum-ranked beast.

Alois, Liam's master, signaled the others not to interfere, allowing Liam to fight the beast himself.

The second platinum-ranked beast, like the first one that Eulalia dealt with, was of the feline type.

It was the first time Liam had felt such pressure on himself.

Previously, he had only fought against gold-ranked creatures and was confident that he could defeat a platinum-ranked beast. However, when he actually encountered such a creature, he realized that he had been overconfident. The difference between the ranks was much greater than he had thought.

He has been stuck at the "golden" rank for a long time. He has now reached the peak of the "golden" rank, and thanks to his master, he has learned to sense, release, and control his aura. All paths to the platinum rank were open to him, but he still couldn't find the path to a breakthrough.

Realizing this, he focused on his opponent with all seriousness.

"He's going to use the pressure of the platinum—ranked beast to try to make a breakthrough," Eulalia said when she saw Idana and Arabel exchange puzzled glances.

After Eulalia's words, the couple began to follow Liam's attempt to make a breakthrough with attention.

Arabel couldn't take her eyes off Liam, trying to memorize his every move. She noticed that there was a difference between him and Nemo. Both guys were skilled swordsmen and both had the "golden" rank. However, looking at their movements, Arabel could tell that Liam was more experienced.

Their techniques also differed from each other, suggesting that there were many sword styles in this world.

Even she and Idan had received unique techniques that were not only radically different, but also related to their elements.

Liam, being a member of the human race, did not possess magic. His strength lay only in his aura.

Idan, like everyone else, watched Liam's battle with admiration, marveling at his skill. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Arabel watching Liam intently.

Idan couldn't help but admire her concentration. He knew that she was superior to him in swordsmanship. And it's not just that she was doing this back in their home world, but also that she learned faster than him and mastered the techniques that Nemo taught them.

All this time, she had been hiding her true identity under the Ghost Mask. To others, she seemed like an ordinary girl with short black hair.

Even Alois couldn't notice that she was wearing such a valuable artifact.

As for Idan, even looking at Arabel like this, he could imagine her true appearance. The way she was watching Liam intently.

Seeing her like this made him feel a little jealous of Liam. At this moment, he would like to be in his place, so that she would look at him with the same eyes.

With a sigh, he tore his gaze away from her with difficulty and looked at Liam.

Looking at Liam, Idan suddenly felt an irresistible desire to become stronger than him and Nemo. He couldn't explain why this thought suddenly popped into his head.

However, he knew how to achieve his goal. It is necessary to take control of his bloodline as soon as possible. It's time to show her who's in charge here. Idan clenched his fist, and his emotions began to slowly flare up under the influence of his bloodline.

However, Idan did not let this desire break out. He quickly pulled himself together and suppressed that spark. He understood that such thoughts did not bode well. He had never had such a desire to become better than others and surpass them before.

He recalled that he had heard that such desires usually occur in people with low self-esteem.

Arabel, who was completely immersed in watching Liam, suddenly felt a strong change in Idan's emotions.

Yesterday, the system had already explained to her that in moments of intense emotion, they can sometimes feel each other's emotions due to their connection.

This time, Idan's sudden display of emotion distracted her from watching.

She looked away and looked at Idan, who was watching Liam with a serious look. She couldn't understand what was happening to him.

"Why does he feel such strong emotions when he looks at Liam?" Arabel wondered to herself.

She had only caught a glimpse of his emotions, and so she couldn't accurately describe how she felt. She could only guess what Idan's feelings were at that moment.

"Confidence? Striving for excellence? Jealousy?" Arabel mused, trying to understand the feelings she felt through the connection between them.

Idan didn't notice Arabel paying attention to him. He was preoccupied with his own thoughts and tried to suppress the strange desires that arose in his head.

Arabel stared at Idan for a while, who was lost in thought. She tried to understand him, but then she got distracted and noticed his appearance.

The longer they spent time together, the more Idan attracted her attention. She compared his current self to the sullen guy she met two months ago, and noticed significant changes.

"He's not that bad," she said to herself. Then she remembered Idan in the guise of his Alpha of Fire and couldn't help blushing.

She didn't know herself, but he looked even better in the guise of the Alpha of Fire. He had the same red hair as her, and his red eyes attracted her even more.

She quickly patted her cheek to banish the visions of Idan as the Alpha of Fire, and focused her attention on Liam, who had just defeated his opponent. Liam stabbed his sword into the ground, leaned on it to steady himself, and fell into a strange state.

"He's breaking through!" exclaimed Eulalia, watching Liam.

Alois nodded with satisfaction, looking at his disciple.

With this breakthrough, a second Platinum-ranked fighter appeared in their group.
