The conversation with Harvis had come to an end.
Afterwards, Shane decisively turned around and left, parting ways with Harvis.
The two of them had only just established a preliminary cooperative relationship; whether they would continue to cooperate depended on how the Lefirut Family’s assassin was dealt with.
In any case, once Shane knew that the assassin was targeting Tielle and intended to take her life directly, he had no intention of letting them off.
After all, he didn’t want to become the kind of main character who passively waits for events to arise before dealing with them.
As long as the other party was confirmed to be an enemy and a threat, then the solution was to simply crush them.
Otherwise, it would really be a disservice to his almost invincible cheat-like powers from the start.
With such thoughts, Shane returned to the Royal Capital, unnoticed by others, and after some consideration, reluctantly decided to head home.
"At this time, going to find Luoqi in the Royal Palace could reveal my impure motives..."
It was already the dead of night, and visiting the Princess’s chamber could only seem impure, which nobody would believe otherwise.
Thus, Shane could only begrudgingly return to the Beizut Family.
As soon as he entered the door, before he could step into the residence, Shane noticed a strange noise, prompting him to turn his head toward the side of the garden.
There, he saw a figure appearing.
Shane was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised.
The person was indeed Tielle, whom Shane and Harvis had just been discussing.
At that moment, Tielle was holding a blade, concentrating on gathering Magic Power.
The air quivered slightly, causing ripples of Magic Power to surge and converge on the raised blade, forming a red Magic Blade.
It was unmistakably the Skill "Magical Sword."
"Practicing the use of ’Magical Sword’?"
Shane instantly recognized what Tielle was doing.
From Tielle’s actions of summoning "Magical Sword," it appeared that the girl was trying to master the method of better wielding the "Magical Sword."
Shane looked closely and was amazed to find that Tielle had already trained her "Magical Sword" Skill to Level 5.
Even Tielle’s own Level had unexpectedly climbed to sixty-six.
"Has she grown again?" Shane murmured in surprise, "This speed, isn’t it a bit too fast?"
It shouldn’t have been long since the incident at Artlu Canyon.
At that time, Tielle’s Level had just barely broken through to sixty, and now it had already climbed to sixty-six, her growth rate almost catching up with his own when he wasn’t seriously cultivating.
Thinking this over, Shane stepped forward, heading towards where Tielle was.
The instant Shane arrived behind Tielle, she suddenly turned around, her "Magical Sword" like a red thunder slashing through the night sky, bringing a sharp sonic boom as it struck towards Shane.
Without any hesitation, Shane extended his hand and astonishingly caught the slashing "Magic Blade" with his bare hand, making the "Magic Sword" emit a crisp sound of collision as if it had struck steel.
The sharp "Magic Sword" continued to cut at Shane’s palm, attempting to chop off the foolhardy hand that dared catch it.
Regrettably, for Shane who possessed maxed-out "Physical Resistance" and "Magic Resistance" Skills, a mere Level 5 "Magic Sword" couldn’t even scratch his skin.
"Deadly serious, are we?"
Shane could only look at the Magic Blade cutting at his hand and speak somewhat speechlessly.
Tielle appeared to suddenly realize, abruptly withdrawing the power of the "Magic Sword," letting the red Magic Light on the blade dissipate.
"What, did I startle you?"
Only then did Shane look at Tielle with a mocking smile.
"I was certainly startled," Tielle looked at Shane, and uncharacteristically said in a miffed tone, "To actually catch a ’Magic Sword’ slash with your bare hands, if this were to get out, it wouldn’t just be me, everyone would be scared to death."
Saying this, Tielle lifted the cloak she was wearing and put away the sharp blade in her hand.
Watching this, Shane spoke after a moment, "Your strength seems to have increased quite rapidly."
"Mm." Tielle seemed aware and didn’t deny it, nodding her head, "Here in the Royal Capital, both the difficulty of commissions and the Level of demons we need to subdue are much higher than in Lamijion. After choosing to develop here in the Royal Capital, everyone in Vivian’s Team has been growing rapidly, including myself."
According to Tielle, everyone in Vivian’s Team had made significant progress after coming to the Royal Capital.
For instance, Vivian was now preparing to break through to Level 60, Lu Muya and Merica were also preparing to surpass Level 50, and everyone’s strength was growing, much faster than when they were in Lamijion.
"You’re about to break through too, right?"
Tielle scrutinized Shane.
"Sort of," Shane touched his nose.
When he left the Royal Capital, he had reached Level fifty-five, and in the battle in Cosmos with the rampaging Evil God Lillith, although he hadn’t defeated her, he had gained substantial experience from feeling the power of the highest scale. Therefore, his Level had already unknowingly reached fifty-nine, standing at the threshold of breaking into Level Sixty, just one step away like the initial Tielle had been.
