Chapter 342 The Opponent Was Too Weak
The Guild Master of the Emerald Lion Guild personally intervened, and they just walked away dejectedly like that?
The sword thrust that Garen had mustered all his courage for went almost unnoticed, as the difference in strength was simply too vast.
Most people only saw Garen inexplicably bow to Alice, asking for forgiveness for his rudeness, and then leading his people away without even daring to fly.
“Alice… are you maybe a bit too strong?” A staff member from the 13th Bureau couldn’t help but come up to Alice, filled with admiration.
They all thought William was doomed today, facing the Guild Master, a Demi-God level powerhouse, and a legendary warrior known for his attacking prowess.
Who would have thought that after Alice arrived, she would boldly invite the opponent to attack first, only for Garen to concede without even swinging his sword?
Alice, responding to the 13th Bureau staff member’s praise, laughed heartily: “It’s not that I’m too strong, but that the opponent was too weak.”
“…” The staff member from the 13th Bureau couldn’t help but ask Alice, “Alice, what exactly is your strength level?”
“Me?” Alice lifted her face with a smile, “My strength isn’t that high, just at the mid-level Soulmancer standard.”
Although she seemed to speak modestly, her pride was apparent to anyone listening.
William, standing beside her, said casually, “That guy just now seemed to be at the Demi-God level.”
Alice had never heard of the Demi-God level before and said offhand, “What’s so special about Demi-God level?”
After saying it, she froze.
“Demi… Demi-God level?” Alice’s mouth hung open, looking at William with a puzzled face.
William smiled and said, “You are now at the mid-level Soulmancer standard, next up is the advanced Soulmancer, and then comes the Demi-God level…”
“…” Alice was stunned for a good five seconds before it sunk in.
Just hearing William say it seemed unremarkable.
But having gone through a level up in her abilities, Alice could clearly feel how much difference there was in her strength before and after the upgrade.
Naturally, she also understood how significant a difference one level could make.
Demi-God level…
Just thinking about it was terrifying!
“You weren’t trying to get me killed, were you?” Alice, belatedly realizing the danger, was deeply frightened.
A mid-level Soulmancer standard fighter taking on a Demi-God level powerhouse head-on, and even letting the opponent make the first move!
That was incredibly bold!
“Anyway, you won, didn’t you?” William smiled, as all this was within his expectations.
Holding the Sword of Soulbreaker, no one in this world who fights with a sword can harm Alice.
Even if a real fight had broken out, he could have directly suppressed Garen’s strength, reducing him to a mid-level Soulmancer standard.
What he hadn’t expected was that the Guild Master of the Emerald Lion would be so terrified by Alice.
A Demi-God level warrior was scared off by a mid-level Soulmancer standard novice.
Alice’s na?ve and clueless demeanor had its advantages.
“Right, right, right!” What else could Alice say? She had already won.
“Alice, thanks to you just now. Would you like to join us on our journey?” Steven knew that Alice had a close relationship with William. They hadn’t encountered any real danger here, and having Alice with them could actually be good.
“Sure! What are we doing here?” Alice looked at the corpses of the beasts nearby, frowning, “When did such a place appear near New York City, and what are those things?”
William explained, “You don’t know? This land suddenly appeared on Earth. Didn’t you hear the roars of those beasts in the sky before? And recently, the news and trending topics are all about this new continent…”
“I rarely use my phone.” Alice realized, “Yesterday, when I saw those things in the sky, I thought it was 3D projection technology.”
William then felt that Alice seemed even more out of touch with this era than he was.
Alice asked again, “Did you guys kill these monsters?”
Steven replied, “They were already dead when we got here.”
“Oh.” Alice wasn’t like other Soulmancers, who would think of using the situation to find rare resources to enhance their strength. Seeing so many unfamiliar trees around, she just wanted to look for rare and valuable herbs she hadn’t seen before.
“You can dissect that corpse, I want a piece of thigh meat.” William pointed at the corpse of a huge beast lying ahead, starting to give orders to Alice.
“Thigh meat?” Alice looked at the corpse of the beast, which was over 10 feet tall, and couldn’t help but smack her lips, “You’re not planning to eat it, are you?”
Wasn’t it obvious?
When William saw these corpses, what else could he be thinking about but eating them?
Although technology had progressed, many types of meat were farmed, lacking in texture and flavor. Talking about delicacies, like this fierce beast in front of them, it had been a long time since he last ate such.
“Alright then!” Alice pouted, a look of aggrievement on her face.
He called her over, first to fight a Demi-God level powerhouse, and now, after an easy victory without fighting, he was asking her to dissect the corpse of a fierce beast.
She was a girl, after all!
Wouldn’t dissecting a corpse result in being covered in blood?
In reality, William’s intent was for Alice’s benefit.
To him, the beast’s corpse was merely food, but for Alice and other Soulmancers, it was a treasure trove, especially the beast’s soul essence within.
If refined into pills and consumed, it would undoubtedly bring significant benefits.
But if Alice did nothing and still received benefits, she would have to bear corresponding responsibilities and consequences.
To lessen the ties of cause and effect between her and himself, having her participate in dissecting the corpse and taking a piece of thigh meat could be seen as a task she performed for him.
Just like when he agreed to help Seraphina reshape her body, he also asked her to complete some tasks in exchange.
“Alice, the hide of this beast is very tough. Can you try to dissect it?” Steven actually felt quite embarrassed. The corpse of the beast was right there, and he, being at the peak of mid-level Soulmancer strength, couldn’t even break through the beast’s skin.
Alice took out the Sword of Soulbreaker again, thought for a moment, and realized that dissecting this body wasn’t going to be easy. It seemed like this was an opportunity her master had given her for practice.
Holding the Sword of Soulbreaker, she channeled her energy, focused intently on the corpse of the beast in front of her, and with a sharp cry, she swung her sword.
“Phew!” 𝘪.𝘤𝑜𝘮
The Sword of Soulbreaker struck the beast’s corpse, cutting through it as easily as a knife through bread, contradicting Steven’s earlier claims about the difficulty.
“Huh? Just this… it’s not that hard!” Alice was also slightly stunned. What happened to the promised toughness of the surface?
The staff members of the 13th Bureau nearby all looked on with newfound respect.
At this moment, they no longer believed Alice was just at mid-level Soulmancer standard.
Steven had tried earlier, and even at the peak of mid-level Soulmancer strength, he couldn’t penetrate the hide of the beast. Alice’s sword cut through it so effortlessly.
Considering Garen’s reactions earlier, Alice must undoubtedly be an extraordinary powerhouse!
They couldn’t simply think the Demi-God level Guild Master was a fool, could they?
If Alice wasn’t strong, why would he have reacted like that?
If she were merely at a mid-level Soulmancer standard, Garen probably would have slain her with a single sword strike!
