So, the question was, did Limgir understand?
He did.
Actually, he had understood from the very beginning.
Although Shien was an adventurer, was he an ordinary adventurer?
No.
He could single-handedly defeat the Assassination Branch.
He could single-handedly annihilate half of the Kingdom Knight Order.
He could tame the black dragon of Atlus.
He had also gained the favor of the Dragon Demon, the attention of the Moon Demon, and the recognition of the royal family, becoming a prominent figure in the Kingdom, rising from a mere adventurer to a noble pursued by countless others.
He was destined for greatness, his origins unable to conceal his brilliance and excellence.
Therefore, it seemed only natural that he gained the princess’s favor.
And himself?
The young master of a duke’s family?
Could this status compare to that of the princess, born into the royal family and hailed as the modern Hero?
In terms of talent?
He only reached level seventy in his twenties. How could he compare to the princess, who was already level seventy at seventeen?
In terms of strength?
Perhaps his level was slightly higher than the princess’s, but level only represented superior basic abilities. There was still a difference in growth potential. The growth he gained from increasing several levels might not even match the growth the princess gained from increasing one level. Therefore, his basic abilities were very likely inferior to the princess’s.
Moreover, she also had a Holy Sword and that terrifying Unique Skill mentioned in rumors. Plus, the skill points she gained upon leveling up were also more than his, making her skills not only more diverse but also higher level. Overall, he had no chance of being stronger than the princess.
He was inferior to the princess in every aspect, yet he wanted to obtain the Kingdom’s Treasure. So why couldn’t someone with a lower status and position than him succeed?
Could only he succeed?
That was impossible.
In short, before the princess, his and Shien’s conditions weren’t that different.
But Shien was more outstanding, more talented, more powerful, and more extraordinary. Why couldn’t the princess choose him?
He had a better background and better conditions than Shien, yet he still lost to him. So what right did he have to look down on him?
—”Loser.”
These words were deeply etched into Limgir’s heart, creating a terrifying wound.
Of course, compared to this title, it was Shien’s other words that Limgir couldn’t accept.
“You’ll never win Lucy’s heart in your lifetime.”
This was the true damage.
Limgir erupted.
“I’m not convinced! I’m not convinced—!”
Cold magic power, like death energy, erupted from Limgir as he roared, transforming into a terrifying storm that swept through the area.
Shien looked down at him from above, his hood finally blown off by the cold magic power, revealing his face, a face that Limgir was familiar with and hated immensely.
However, that face was filled with a calmness Limgir had never seen before.
That calmness was more insulting than mockery and ridicule.
Because it was the calmness of boredom and disinterest.
“Powerless rage? Well, that’s the standard villain mode.”
Shien said with a bored tone.
“Unfortunately, it’s time for you to exit, young master.”
After saying that, Shien didn’t give Limgir any time to react or respond, extending a hand towards him.
“[Bestowal: Annihilation].”
This was the most destructive and highest-level property in Bestowal Magic.
Only by raising [Bestowal Magic] to level nine could one use this property and cast this magic.
Naturally, there was only one outcome for something imbued with this property.
Just as the name suggested – “annihilation.”
“Stop!!!”
The High Priest, who was battling Yulin, couldn’t help but shout upon seeing this scene.
But unfortunately, it was useless.
“Boom!”
