c617: Reunion After a Long Separation (4)

She hadn’t expected Shien to find her, and in her surprise, she didn’t even recognize his aura or magic power before attacking.

Fortunately, Shien was skilled. Otherwise, seeing her ruthless attack, he might have been injured by his own “wife.”

Leisha felt she had a say in this.

“You seem different,” she said, looking at Shien with surprise and confusion, “You’ve become much stronger.”

Diere also seemed to notice, sensing Shien’s unfathomable magic power.

Their surprise was understandable.

A month ago, when they left for the Imperial Capital, Shien hadn’t started his extreme training with [Divine Grace] and [Fate and Logic], hadn’t fused his seven Heaven’s Decree skills, and his level was below seventy.

Now, Shien was completely transformed.

He didn’t deny it.

“I’ve been to the Inner Sanctum,” he said, “So, you know.”

Leisha and Diere understood.

“So you’ve become stronger again?” Leisha muttered, “Is that even fair?”

Leisha was the first to recognize Shien as a Hero. Back then, Shien had only been in this world for less than a month, yet he could fight her to a standstill without even using his Holy Sword.

Every time she saw him, he was stronger.

Now, she couldn’t even fathom his strength.

Even for a Hero with unlimited potential, this growth rate was abnormal.

Diere was also surprised by Shien’s rapid growth. She knew he was stronger than her and was growing quickly, no less than the princess.

But now, she felt she had underestimated his growth rate.

He was even more outstanding than the princess.

Even entering the Inner Sanctum and gaining enlightenment was extraordinary.

Of course, Diere was happy about Shien’s growth. After all, she was devoted to him, and his strength reassured her.

During this month, after experiencing several life-or-death situations in the Imperial Capital, Diere’s strength had also increased dramatically.

Shien was surprised to find that her level had broken through to seventy.

Diere was level seventy.

“She reached level seventy at an even younger age than Lucy.”

Diere’s growth rate surpassed Lucy’s. This would cause a sensation in the Kingdom.

Leisha, who had been secretly watching over Diere, had the most to say about this.

“You two are both monsters, no, all Heroes and Hero descendants are monsters.”

Leisha was a little jealous. Her level hadn’t even broken through eighty yet.

“That’s because you, a Spatial Magician, only know how to play hide-and-seek, running away whenever things get tough. How can you grow like that?”

Shien teased mercilessly.

“Do… do you think I want to?”

Leisha was almost angered to death.

If it weren’t for her face causing so many problems, she would have loved to stand at the forefront and fight.

Could she be blamed for this? If anyone was to blame, it was this damned world!

Leisha was filled with resentment.

But Shien ignored her.

“Tell me,” he said to Diere in his arms, “What have you been doing this past month?”

Diere nodded silently.

Then, she began to speak.
