“Holy crap, was that real? I thought I was seeing things!”

  “What kind of item does Elvynna have? How come I don’t have one?”

  It was clear to everyone that special rewards from the system were reserved for those who achieved extraordinary feats in the life simulations.

  Elvynna had always demonstrated incredible mastery over magic in her simulations, making her a force to be reckoned with. That was how she came to possess such a coveted item. But for others, the same fortune was hard to come by.

  “Even if you had one, your level of cultivation from past simulations wouldn’t be high enough to wield such power!”

  The chat channel was buzzing with disbelief and awe. But beneath the surface, there was a growing curiosity.

  Why was Elvynna flying toward the capital? What was her plan?

  “Do you think she’s going to confront the princess?” Liora ventured, her voice full of speculation.

  “No way!”

  “In this case? That’s the royal city! And she brought Eirik along—his power level is still pretty low! Even if he's the game’s special gold card, he’s not invincible! Having him along is just extra weight!”

  Many dismissed Liora’s theory, but Pixie blinked in thought.

  She and Elvynna had been close friends for years, like sisters, and Pixie understood her better than anyone. Liora’s words struck a chord with her.

  “Elvynna-senpai, are you out of your mind? You can't take on that princess! Going after her will only lead to your end.”

  Pixie winked and cautiously sent a mental message to Elvynna.

  “Don’t worry! When have I ever been the one to die first?” Elvynna huffed in response.

  ??

  Living long is impressive? You little turtle!

  Pixie wanted to curse but instead chuckled, “Elvynna-senpai, I envy you! You always manage to outlive everyone, unlike me—stuck living a boring life with my husband. It's so exhausting!”

  “Shut up! I don’t have time for your nonsense!”

  Elvynna was truly irritated, her forehead twitching.

  But the truth was, she had no time to waste.

  Because at that moment, she and Eirik had arrived at Elaresar City!

  Elaresar City stood atop a vast plain, built alongside a mighty river. Half of the city floated in the air, its majestic structures and palaces enveloped in swirling elemental energy and dense white mist, as if they belonged to a world of myths.

  Elvynna soared higher into the sky, stepping into the depths of the clouds, and gazed down upon the sprawling city below. She channeled all her power into a detection spell, sweeping the entire city in an instant.

  Only a Grandmaster-level mage could wield such overwhelming magical power, using a simple detection spell to cover an entire city!

  As Elvynna’s magic swept through Elaresar, the once-bustling city fell eerily silent. Birds, beasts, and even the smallest of creatures froze in place, paralyzed by the sheer weight of her power.

  “Wow, is this really my wife’s strength? Incredible!” Eirik marveled, watching as Elvynna wielded only a fraction of her full power.

  “Found you!”

  Elvynna raised an eyebrow as she spotted Scarlett in the distance, standing next to a woman in white robes—a clear member of the Holy Light Church.

  This member of the Holy Light Church had no idea that a girl from such a humble background could suddenly gain such incredible strength and easily eliminate an assassin. What was even more surprising was that Elvynna had arrived in Elaresar City in the blink of an eye, having traveled all the way from the distant borderlands.

  At that moment, the woman was casually discussing plans to eliminate Elvynna and her husband with Scarlett.

  And now, Elvynna had caught them red-handed.

  “So it was you... Heh, you’re all going to die!”

  Elvynna’s voice was cold, dripping with deadly intent as it pierced the air.

  Even those not directly in her path felt a chill run down their spines, gripped by terror.

  This overwhelming aura also drew the attention of more dangerous entities.

  “Who is this guest that has graced Elaresar City?”

  From deep within the palace, a voice like the echo of ancient stones rang out.

  As the voice echoed, a dark golden light flared within the palace, as if reality itself were about to unravel, revealing a towering golden figure that loomed like a mountain.

  “Husband, let’s go! We’re going to kill!”

  Ignoring the disturbance from the palace, Elvynna grabbed Eirik’s hand, her figure flashing like lightning as they raced toward Scarlett’s residence.

  A colossal hand, glowing with raw magical power, suddenly descended from the heavens, reaching for the female priest. It was Elvynna's hand, smooth and flawless, its ethereal light shimmering with palpable force.

  “E...Elvynna?! How could you...?”

  The female priest looked up in horror, her expression filled with disbelief.

  “I’m not just going to die!”

  She cried out, unleashing a wave of blood magic toward the massive hand.

  But it was all in vain.

  The jade hand descended with crushing force, sending a shiver down her spine. No amount of resistance could change her fate.

  The female priest was crushed, reduced to nothing more than dust beneath Elvynna’s grip.

  “Holy crap, what just happened?”

  “Did Elvynna-senpai really make it to Elaresar City?!”

  The scene left many of the players in stunned disbelief.

  “I know that female priest; she’s the assassin from the Silent Reapers, designated Number One...”

  “She doesn’t have a name? Just ‘Number One’?”

  “So, she’s the Number One assassin from Silent Reapers...”

  Alchemist Master Violanda narrowed her eyes. Number One was one of their Holy Light members, practically a subordinate to the royal family. She couldn’t believe she had secretly allied with them.

  What audacity!

  As this realization hit her, Violanda’s gaze grew icy, and a decision formed in her mind. “Within three days, I will kill you.”

  This female priest had been slain by Elvynna in the simulation, and now Violanda was determined to finish the job in the real world.

  “To kill her in reality?”

  “No wonder she’s an Alchemist Master!”

  Many were impressed but also apprehensive.

  Recently, some players had been teasing Violanda, calling her “Vio the Rejection Hound,” and they had almost forgotten just how formidable she really was.

  Thankfully, anonymity was a feature in the game; otherwise, with her power and status, no one would dare provoke her.

  If they angered her, she could track them down and eliminate them without a trace.

  That was the true danger.

  And now, in the game, Elvynna had slain the female priest, but this was just the beginning.

  Princess Scarlett had not yet met her end!

  As Elvynna crushed the female priest before her, Scarlett’s eyes widened in terror, her heart pounding with fear.

  “Why... is your strength different from what’s shown in Oracle’s Mirror?!”

  She screamed in horror, stumbling backward.

  Elvynna shot her a cold glance but didn’t strike immediately.

  Mainly because at that moment, the golden figure emerging from the palace had finally made its move, arriving at the princess’s residence.
