...
Passing through an extremely dark and winding tunnel, Elsa saw its end.
It was a staircase entrance, appearing before the two through a faint light.
Below the stairs, it was pitch black, impossible to discern anything.
But Elsa had a very strong premonition.
The person she had been longing for was just down these stairs.
Soon, Viktor's voice sounded in her ear:
"Go in, he's inside."
"Remember, don't forget what you promised me."
Elsa's heart was pounding as she walked up the stairs with heavy steps.
One step, two steps.
She didn't know how long she had been walking, not even realizing it herself.
Around her, there was only darkness.
She kept walking, kept descending.
In the darkness ahead, a beam of light appeared.
Elsa stepped into this light, and suddenly, a strong glow surged up.
She raised a hand to shield her eyes, struggling to adapt to this brightness.
Finally, a whistling wind blew past her ears.
She squinted, gradually opening her eyes.
Around her, it seemed like she had come to a whole new world.
This was a plain, incredibly spacious in all directions.
The sky was filled with dark clouds, looking somewhat oppressive.
There seemed to be several towering peaks in the distance, but under these dark clouds, she couldn't see clearly.
The stairs behind her had vanished without a trace, she looked back and saw only a vast plain.
Elsa clearly remembered that she had been walking down the stairs towards the underground.
But why had she come to a spacious plain?
Suddenly, Elsa's body trembled slightly.
It felt like a penetrating gaze was constantly staring at her.
No, that's not right.
Elsa suddenly realized, a chill spreading throughout her body.
This place was a space magic that only mages could create.
That gaze was Viktor's.
He had been watching her all along.
But before Elsa could adapt to her surroundings, suddenly.
A familiar voice sounded behind her.
"Are you... Elsa?"
Elsa's body froze, she turned around abruptly.
In this instant, she suddenly felt joy and excitement.
It was the person she had been thinking about day and night.
Now, he appeared by her side.
Seeing Elsa turn around, Cindy was equally excited and overjoyed.
He hadn't mistaken, it was his Elsa!
"Elsa, are you here to save me!"
"Since you can appear here, you must be able to find a way out!"
"Quick! Let's get out of here together! Leave this place!"
Perhaps due to excessive excitement, his body was constantly trembling.
He stumbled towards Elsa.
But just as he was about to touch Elsa.
A red sword light flashed, hot flames burst up fiercely under Cindy's feet.
Cindy was startled, involuntarily stepping back, looking incredulously at Elsa who had swung her weapon at him.
"Elsa...? Why did you..."
I'm sorry, Cindy.
Elsa closed her eyes, not wanting Cindy to see her complex expression at this moment.
Being in this space, she constantly felt Viktor's surveillance.
She understood that if she didn't do as Viktor said.
"Impossible!"
Elsa was just an assassin!
How could an assassin almost overwhelm him, a warrior, in the realm of strength?
"Nothing is impossible."
Elsa's form reappeared, speaking calmly.
She could feel the lightness brought by the armor on her body, and the power given to her by the blade.
This feeling was incredibly magical.
But at this moment, Elsa couldn't relax.
She raised her head, a cold light flashing in her eyes, continuing to launch attacks at Cindy.
She couldn't have even a bit of mercy, nor could she have any personal feelings.
Otherwise, Cindy wouldn't be able to leave here alive.
She had to use all her strength, using this powerful equipment, to beat Cindy to a pulp.
Even if it would only leave him with his last breath, it could achieve the result she most hoped for.
Stay alive! Leave this place!
Thinking of this, Elsa's attacks became even more fierce.
The shadows in the sky became more and more numerous, making it impossible for Cindy to discern from which direction the crisis would come.
He could only try his best to block Elsa's fierce attacks.
But each block only made his palms tremble more.
The battle was fierce.
Yet no one noticed, in the sky above, where the dark clouds gathered.
A figure slowly appeared.
Viktor lowered his head, looking at the battle below with boredom.
He had no interest at all in the fight between the two.
"No technique to speak of."
At the same level of forty, NPCs and top players were incomparable.
Players had better equipment, more meticulous plans.
And, more exquisite operations.
In Viktor's eyes, Cindy and Elsa were just two ordinary NPCs who had barely reached level 40.
This battle had no entertainment value to speak of.
If a comparison had to be made, it could be understood as.
Two silver-ranked players, struggling and fighting hard.
Viktor coldly looked down below.
"How boring."
Both were fourth-tier.
But in terms of strength and skill, the two were completely inferior to Angus Delin, who was a boss unit.
After all, at the same fourth tier, there was no comparison between a boss and ordinary fourth-tier NPCs.
"Is that so? I find it quite interesting."
Vega, standing on Viktor's shoulder, stretched its neck, looking down.
It had always been interested in such cockfight-like behavior.
"However, that man is going to lose."
"That's normal."
Viktor said flatly, without a trace of emotion in his tone.
In a situation where both sides' strength and skills were not much different.
The superiority of equipment could have an important impact on the battle situation.
Elsa was wearing armor and weapons that Viktor had enhanced five times in a row, greatly enhancing her own attributes.
Cindy, at just level 40, was already one level below Elsa.
Under the equipment gap, it was even harder to resist.
"However, this test should be over now."
A chill was released from Viktor's body.
"People with no value to use."
"Can die now."
