Lia, unlike the others, was not lucky enough to meet any abomination. Instead, she met Drake, casually seated on a tree eating steak. The moment she saw him, she attacked him with a large ice spike. Drake flicked his finger, shooting out a drop of blood that smashed into the ice spike and destroyed it. "Lady Lia, Master Silva wants to ensure that you have the toughest time here. He said that for some reason, your growth has stagnated for a while, and he would like to fix that. So do your best to survive, or you might end up dead," Drake said. Before Lia could answer, he made a blood sword and charged at her. Lia tried her best to react in a split second. She raised an ice wall, but Drake cut through it with ease. "Ice storm!" she yelled as she cast a wave of ice and snow, pushing against Drake with full force. But Drake walked through it without issues. "You'll have to do better to make me take actual damage. Don't tell me this is the best that the ice princess can carry out," Drake said. Lia frowned when she heard this. She spun her staff around and pointed it at Drake. A magical circle formed around the tip of her staff and started spinning. This was the issue with magic users: they were not the best in close range. Drake could exploit that if he wanted to, but he wanted her to have a fighting chance. She fired a powerful blast of ice at him. It packed more power than her last attack, but Drake was too fast. He dodged the attack and walked toward Lia. "You possess an immense amount of Mana, but you lack the capability to actually use it in combat. Sadly, I am not here to help you out. All I have to do is beat you up," Drake said and vanished. Lia looked around, trying to find Drake. Then she felt danger from behind her. She turned around and saw a blood sword coming for her head. A circle formed under both of them, and a huge geyser of ice shot from the ground, pushing both of them into the air in different directions. She made this move because she had a higher resistance to ice and cold than normal people. She expected that such an attack would have an effect on Drake. She looked for Drake and found him unharmed, walking toward her. "You must have thought that the move you made would give you the win, right? You have a higher resistance to cold, and it would work to your advantage. But you forgot that even if I don't have a resistance to cold, I have a higher resistance to everything compared to you. Read new chapters at empire Even my resistance to cold is higher when compared to yours because my whole resistance is higher," Drake said. Lia was out of ideas. She didn't know what to do at this point, so she decided that the best route now would be to use her legacy. But before she could make the move to use it, Drake was in front of her. He punched her so hard in the gut that she coughed blood and fell to the ground. Drake stepped back. She tried to get up again, but as soon as she was on her feet, Drake sent a kick to her head, completely knocking her out. He looked at her body, wondering if he should shift her somewhere safe. "Don't do anything. Leave her be and head to your next person. We don't have time," Silva said, appearing behind Drake. Drake nodded and left, and so did Silva.
