"I see. I understand." Hearing Takeru say this, Yui had no doubt. She planned to go back and deal with Kyo together with Mio.
After all, she had felt something uncomfortable about Kyo from the beginning.
As for Glass, hearing Takeru and Yui's exchange, she remained silent. She wasn't very familiar with Kyo, and also felt there was something strange about him.
As for specifics, she would test Kyo together with Yui. If Kyo truly was someone who would harm the world, she would not let him off.
"Also, although I don't know the specifics of the Infinite Labyrinth, according to the hints, it is a very troublesome place. Perhaps it poses no threat to you two, but after entering, it is very difficult to get out of there. So, without a foolproof plan, don't venture in hastily." Mentioning the Infinite Labyrinth, Takeru warned the two.
"Difficult to get out of? I have heard that. I understand. I will definitely have a foolproof plan before entering." Hearing this, Glass nodded seriously.
After confirming Takeru had no ill intentions, she began to eat the food.
Feeling the ultimate flavors burst in her mouth, Glass unconsciously showed an expression of enjoyment.
But when she came back to her senses and saw Takeru looking at her, her face reddened. She lowered her head, feeling very shy.
"By the way, you can probably directly defeat this wave's boss yourself, right? Is it alright to just watch here?" Then, Glass quickly changed the subject.
"I can't always be here. I'll leave it to them. Besides, the wave's monsters are almost endless. Don't you think it's a good place to level up?" Hearing Glass's question, Takeru said with a light laugh.
"Treating the wave as a leveling spot? That's truly crazy." Hearing Takeru say this, Glass was stunned. Most people saw the wave as a calamity. She hadn't expected Takeru to treat it as a good place to level up.
"But won't continuing to fight cause casualties due to depleted mana and stamina?" Looking at Motoyasu's group, which was already showing signs of fatigue, Glass asked questioningly.
"You can ignore those few. Look elsewhere. There won't be any problems, right?" Hearing this, Takeru spoke again.
Hearing Takeru's words, Glass turned to look at other places. She also noticed that those knights were performing very strongly. They could basically kill ordinary monsters instantly. Against elite monsters, they coordinated for quick kills. It seemed they wouldn't have any problems for at least a few hours.
At that moment, Esdeath and Beatrice, who had just killed some monsters, also came to Takeru.
"Esdeath and Beatrice, you're here too. Long time no see!" Seeing Esdeath and Beatrice, Yui happily greeted them. Meeting acquaintances in another world was truly worth celebrating.
"Long time no see." Hearing Yui's words, the two nodded accordingly.
"And this is?" Then, Beatrice looked at Glass.
"This is Glass. She's the Fan Vassal Hero." Hearing this, Yui introduced her with a smile.
"Is that so? You're the one who showed hostility towards us earlier, aren't you?" Hearing this, Beatrice said calmly.
Hearing Beatrice's words, Glass was stunned. She hadn't expected her earlier hostility, shown from above, to be sensed. Her heart grew even more vigilant towards Beatrice.
"Ehehe, Beatrice, it's a misunderstanding. Glass didn't mean to oppose you all." Hearing Beatrice's words, Yui quickly tried to mediate with an awkward laugh.
"I know. If she had made the slightest move, Beatrice would have killed her already." As she spoke, Beatrice ran directly into Takeru's arms.
"Takeru, feed me." Sitting in Takeru's lap, Beatrice looked at him expectantly.
"Really now." Looking at her expectant expression, Takeru shook his head helplessly, but still indulgently picked up a piece of popcorn and fed it to her. Beatrice unceremoniously enjoyed being fed by Takeru.
As for Glass beside them, watching Beatrice's transformation, she was somewhat caught off guard.
"Fan Vassal Hero. I am Esdeath, General of the Dawn Empire. How about a match?" At this moment, Esdeath, feeling a bit itchy for a fight, looked at Glass.
"Eh, Esdeath, not possible. Glass is definitely no match for you!" Hearing Esdeath's words, Yui said nervously.
"What, Yui, are you worried I won't go easy?" Hearing Yui's words, Esdeath smiled at Yui.
"I see. Since Esdeath-san so kindly invites me, I'll embarrass myself." At this moment, Glass spoke directly.
She didn't doubt Yui or look down on Esdeath. Rather, she truly wanted to know how powerful these people, whom Yui kept saying were dangerous, really were.
And the best way to know an opponent's strength was through battle...
"Interesting. Then you can fight here." Hearing this, Takeru snapped his fingers. The stone table and chairs quickly moved backward. Takeru and Yui, still sitting in their chairs, moved back thirty meters.
Then, a barrier with a fifty-meter diameter rapidly formed, centered on Glass and Esdeath.
Seeing the special barrier rise almost instantly, Glass was again stunned. Then, she didn't think much.
She lightly fanned towards the barrier. Powerful wind blades, upon touching the barrier, simply disappeared, leaving no ripples.
Seeing her ordinary attack leave no trace, she realized this barrier was not simple.
"Let's begin." After Glass tested the barrier, Esdeath said unhurriedly.
"Please." Hearing Esdeath's words, Glass quickly adjusted herself and nodded to Esdeath.
"Then, an appetizer first. White Beak." With a casual wave, dozens of ice needles appeared above Esdeath.
Seeing Esdeath start with a large number of ice needles, Glass didn't dare underestimate them. She leaped backward, creating distance from Esdeath.
Seeing this, Esdeath willed it. The large number of ice needles shot towards Glass. Glass quickly moved to dodge. If she couldn't dodge, she used her Fan Vassal Weapon to block.
Clang, clang!
After consecutively blocking two clusters of ice needles, feeling the reactive force, Glass realized the power of the needles. She dared not block too many, choosing to dodge quickly and unfold her fan.
As her mana surged, purple light swords appeared on each fan blade. Once the light swords condensed, she quickly released them towards the incoming ice needles.
Bang, bang...
The ice needles and light swords collided, exploding. Instantly, ice shards flew everywhere.
"Interesting. How about this?" Seeing Glass dodge and defend, Esdeath found it amusing. She directly condensed an ice sword and charged at Glass.
Seeing Esdeath prepare for close combat, Glass didn't dare be the least bit careless. Light swords appeared on her fan again. Then, she folded her fan. The numerous small light swords condensed into a single, more solid light sword.
The moment Esdeath swung her ice sword to attack, Glass quickly used her light sword to parry.
Clang!
A loud clash sounded. In a single exchange, Glass was sent flying by Esdeath's powerful strength.
Watching her condensed light sword begin to dissipate, Glass couldn't help but feel some horror.
Before Glass could fully recover, Esdeath's attack came again. With a wild smile, Esdeath thrust her ice sword mercilessly at Glass.
Seeing this, Glass didn't think. She directly used her Fan Vassal Weapon to block. Relying on the Vassal Weapon's extremely sturdy property, Esdeath's ice thrust did not pierce the fan.
However, the powerful force again sent Glass flying back. Her hand holding the fan was even numb. She looked at Esdeath as if seeing a humanoid monster.
After pushing Glass back again, Esdeath did not press her advantage. Instead, she stood her ground, preparing to experience Glass's attacks.
After all, after several exchanges, she was already somewhat clear about Glass's specific strength.
As for Glass, seeing Esdeath standing still, she understood Esdeath's intention. She took a deep breath and spread her arms.
"Reverse Style: Snow Moon Flower." After a moment's preparation, several golden wind blade slashes flew directly at Esdeath.
However, facing these slashes, Esdeath simply quickly swung her ice sword, releasing several slashes of her own, easily blocking them.
