Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

This was information that Iris had asked Vivian to investigate. She had already contacted the other party using the insect network while they were at the academy.

"what is this?"

"Do you want to see the intelligence?"

Nora didn't stand on ceremony and took the envelope directly into her hand. She then carefully read through it, finding detailed information about the boy inside.

"He usually lives in the college dormitory, so it seems like he's not very easy to take action against."

"He'll eventually have to go home. I think he'll probably go back in a few days."

"You haven't even looked at these intelligence reports, how do you know so much?"

Elise knew the boy quite well. The reason she asked Vivian for information was mainly because she was worried that something might have happened in the timeline, and she wanted to be on the safe side.

Seeing that Elise only smiled and did not answer her question, Nora did not continue to ask, but instead said, "Then remember to let me know in advance when the time is about right."

"Why do you seem so eager? Are you worried he'll kill me?"

“I feel he can’t kill you right now, but we can’t underestimate him. No matter what enemy we face, we must be fully prepared. I think you taught me that.”

"I know, I'll prepare a really nice gift for him." Elise gave a malicious smile.

Volume 1: Chapter 487 How did you become her person?

Ever since he saw that woman a few days ago, Eric had been feeling uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.

He had been trying to find the source of his unease, but after several days he hadn't found anything.

Tomorrow is his day off, and he plans to leave the college to go home and check on his sister's condition.

Eric didn't have any friends at the academy, or rather, he didn't have much of a presence. After class today, he quickly packed his things and left the magic academy.

As a student of the Magic Academy, he has access to most of Seria's teleportation arrays, so even if he lives in a remote location in the outer city, he can quickly return to his vicinity through the teleportation array.

It's a remote location in the outer city, where the buildings are all very old and there are hardly any magical artifacts to be seen.

It's hard to imagine a nobleman living in such a place.

Looking at the dilapidated houses around him, Eric silently clenched his fists. Once he found the materials to repair the magical armor, he could earn money and take his family away from this place.

He might even possess the power of revenge; he's determined to make that woman, Elise, pay the price.

As he approached the residence, Eric silently composed himself and then pushed open the door to enter a dilapidated house.

Although the house is quite old, the interior is neatly organized and looks very comfortable.

A pale-faced girl was sitting by the window. Hearing the voice, she turned to Eric and smiled, "Brother, you're back."

Seeing his sister, Eric silently felt relieved, realizing he had probably been overthinking things.

Eric slowly walked to his sister's side, reached out and gently touched her hair, and said, "Ellie, how have you been feeling lately?"

"It's great, I've never felt this good before." The girl's clear and melodious voice carried a hint of fervor.

Eric immediately realized that something seemed wrong with his sister, but before he could react, he saw his sister press a magic scroll onto his body.

After a moment of disorientation, when Eric regained his senses, he found himself transported from his sister's side to an unfamiliar place. The surroundings were desolate, and he could vaguely see Seria in the distance.

This place should be the outskirts of Seria, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Without the slightest hesitation, Eric activated the ancient magical armor.

In an instant, he was enveloped in a set of pitch-black magical armor. With the enhancements provided by the magical armor, Eric finally spotted the blonde girl standing not far away.

Elise Noyce!

Looking at Eric, who was fully dressed, Elise yawned lazily: "You've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you here for ages."

"What exactly did you do to my sister?"

"I didn't do anything, your sister is doing quite well~" Iris remained very casual in the face of the questioning.

Generally speaking, Elise wouldn't use other people's families as threats, but Eric was different. He wanted to take the maid hostage in order to kill her. Luckily, she had foreseen this and sent the maid away beforehand.

Elise has remembered that incident to this day.

"Come at me if you have a problem, don't touch my sister."

“Sure, as long as you kill me, your sister’s problem will be solved,” Elise said with a smile.

Although she couldn't see Eric's expression at that moment, based on her understanding of Eric, he must be contorted with rage, gritting his teeth and wanting to kill her.

"If you don't act soon, this magical armor you're wearing won't last much longer."

Upon hearing Elise's words, Eric's pupils contracted slightly. He hadn't expected that she could see the weakness of this magical armor. Without repair, he could only use it for less than five minutes at most.

Can you kill Elise within five minutes?

Although the other party seemed unprepared, he always felt that they must have come prepared.

But even if he knew, there was nothing he could do, since time was not on his side.

Without hesitation, Eric's magical armor instantly sprouted countless magical circuits, and then he vanished from Elise's sight.

The next second, the magical armor appeared behind Elise, and just as the black blade was about to sever Elise's head, Eric found that his attack had been blocked.

"Aren't you going to dodge? What if I hadn't blocked it?" Nora said helplessly after blocking the attack.

“I believe you will definitely protect me.” Elise’s voice remained very relaxed.

Nora's strength is in a class of its own among the main characters, and even if Eric can temporarily gain seventh-level strength with the help of the ancient magic armor, it is useless.

He hasn't matured yet; neither his experience nor his awareness matches the power he wields.

Eric was shocked to see Nora block his attack, knowing that the two were sworn enemies.

Even though rumors have been circulating in the academy that their relationship has improved, he doesn't believe them.

After all, he had investigated what Elise had done to Nora, and he didn't believe that Nora could maintain a friendly relationship with Elise under those circumstances.

He had originally planned to seek cooperation with Nora after the initial repair of the magical armor, but now it seemed that he had become the clown instead.

"How could you possibly be on her side?" Eric's voice was full of confusion.

"Is there a problem with me standing next to her?" Nora couldn't understand what the other person was saying at all, then split the greatsword in two and began a fierce attack on Eric.

The opponent's power is indeed at the seventh level, but their combat awareness is extremely poor. It's like a god-slaying weapon in a child's hands, which can only be swung around haphazardly and cannot unleash its true power.

Besides temporarily granting Eric seventh-tier power, that magical armor also possessed extremely strong defensive capabilities.

Even Nora's attacks could only leave some shallow marks on that magical armor.

But because of Nora's superhuman strength, even the slightest scratch can have a huge impact on Eric.

Even with the magical armor weakening his attacks, it still had a significant impact on him.

Volume 1: Chapter 488 Who Tranquilized the Strings of Fate?

"I'm a little disappointed."

After knocking Eric away once again, Nora pouted somewhat unhappily.

She had previously thought that the armor with ancient magical technology should bring her some surprises.

However, based on the other party's performance so far, she was truly disappointed.

She didn't like the feeling of being hammered, so Nora decided to speed up the end of the battle.

"What if I accidentally damage that magical armor?" While dealing with the opponent's attacks, Nora was still able to turn around and chat with Iris for a few minutes. This shows that Eric really couldn't put much pressure on her at the moment.

"Don't worry, that armor has a self-repair function. As long as you provide enough materials, it can repair itself."

This is also one of the gameplay options when choosing Eric as the protagonist in the game. By collecting various rare materials, you can strengthen your magical armor and even provide different forms for the armor depending on the materials used.

"So that's the case, then I'm relieved."

The magical armor that could temporarily boost a person's strength to the seventh rank was something even Nora envied. Since Elise had said she wouldn't break it, she had no reason to hold back.

The two didn't try to hide their conversation, and Eric heard it all clearly. Although he sensed the other's contempt, he also realized that his situation was not right.

He originally thought that with his seventh-tier power, he would be able to fight Nora, since he had watched the academy exchange competition and Nora's strength was only at the sixth tier.

But now he realizes that Nora wasn't using her full strength back then, and he's no match for her now. If it weren't for the super-strong protection provided by the magic armor, he might have been defeated long ago.

With just over a minute left to use his magical armor, and feeling that he couldn't defeat Nora, who was as strong as a monster, he decided to leave the battlefield.

Without the slightest hesitation, Eric's magical armor began to change shape, and his speed increased instantly after the armor transformation was complete.

The experienced Nora could tell at a glance that the other party wanted to escape, but even though she could tell, she did not chase after them. She simply stood there silently and took out her god-slaying weapon.

The sword technique she is about to use is something that, apart from god-slaying weapons, no other weapon can withstand for the time being.

The moment Nora gripped the sword hilt, Eric, who had already escaped some distance, suddenly felt a chilling sense of crisis, a feeling that he might die at any moment. This drove him to drain the last bit of magic power from his body, just to increase the speed of the magic armor once again.

He absolutely cannot die here. He already possesses such immense power, and everything has only just begun.

With Eric's burst of speed, the magic armor's speed increased significantly, and it was about to disappear from Nora's sight in the blink of an eye.

However, Nora did not give chase, but instead swung her sword in the direction Eric had fled.

In that instant, the space in front of Nora seemed to freeze, and even Eric, who was running away at full speed, was frozen in mid-air.

Then the entire sky shattered like a broken mirror, including the frozen Eric.

As Elise watched the countless spatial rifts in the sky gradually dissipate, a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips. She knew that the power of the God-Slaying Weapon combined with the ability to master all martial arts could recreate that earth-shattering attack.

Nora sheathed her weapon and pressed her trembling right hand. Although the attack was cool, it wasn't something she could use freely right now. She felt completely drained.

Although she was a little weak, Nora still said casually in front of Elise, "You said he was a bit hard to kill, but he doesn't seem that hard to kill at all."

That's because you're special.

If Elise were to take action, various unexpected events could occur, potentially leading to Eric's escape.

Elise has experienced this countless times; only someone who is also a protagonist can prevent it from happening.

Speaking of which, my own little maid has killed quite a few main characters, I wonder how she managed to do it?

"What's so special about me?" Nora tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.

Elise rolled her eyes at her, annoyed: "Your body is inhabited by a god, wouldn't you say that's special? And your physique is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people. Even if you suffer a serious injury, it can heal itself in a very short time without treatment."

After Elise said that, Nora felt that she was indeed quite special.

But for some reason, she always felt that Elise's so-called specialness referred to more than just these things.

Elise snapped her fingers, and soon several insects brought back the fragments of the magical armor and Eric's mangled corpse.

An invisible maw appeared under Elise's control and devoured all the corpse remains in no time.

Although Eric was only at the fourth rank, after sacrificing him to the trash can, the trash can gave her a very generous reward. Not only did her own attributes increase significantly, but she also gained one of Eric's talents.

[Extreme Reaction]

Once activated, it can boost the reaction to its limit.

Although the description is very simple, this ability is quite useful in the game. To put it bluntly, it's like bullet time. Without this ability, Eric wouldn't have been able to withstand Nora's attack at all.

I never expected the trash can to be so helpful this time, granting me this ability. Looks like I'll have to treat her well when I get back.

As for the fragments of the magical armor, Elise has collected them all. As long as she finds suitable materials, she can quickly repair the magical armor.

This is a great item. No matter which protagonist Elise is developing, she will always try to borrow this magical armor from Eric whenever she has the chance.

The start of this project was far too smooth, so she didn't have much need for the magical armor and wasn't in a hurry to cause trouble for Eric.

If Iris hadn't accompanied Nora to the Magic Academy and happened to run into him, she probably wouldn't have been in such a hurry to attack him.

In any case, eliminating a potential threat is something to be happy about.

Elise yawned lazily, then moved closer to Nora and jumped onto her back: "I'm tired, carry me back."

"I was thinking, weren't you just watching the show the whole time? I was the one who actually did it, wasn't I?" Nora said irritably.

"Watching a play can be tiring, so tell me if you want to memorize it or not!"

"You really have no shame."

Despite her complaints, Nora still picked up Elise and ran quickly towards Seria.

Shortly after the two left, an almost ethereal figure appeared at the spot where Eric had died, and a faint, indistinct voice, neither male nor female, echoed: "He shouldn't have died at this time. Who has plucked the strings of fate?"

Volume 1: Chapter 489 There's nothing to worry about

"Strange."

Elise, who was lying on Nora's back, suddenly had a strange feeling. Just in case, she directly controlled the insect to check the location where Eric died.
