Chapter 10: Again
Fighting once on the first day, twice on the second, and three times on the third was perfectly normal. Gaining one level per day was already considered a good pace.
Of course, some people weren’t satisfied and pushed themselves further.
Enzo was one of them.
In his opinion, Violet could still keep fighting as long as he transferred his attributes to her.
He had already set his sights on another cell.
Inside were two Level 5 Goblins, each standing around three meters tall—far taller than a human.
Killing both of them would surely reward Violet with 300 EXP immediately.
The problem wasn’t that.
The problem was that Violet’s Sanctuary Card had run out of money, and Enzo himself only had about 1,000 Dollars left.
He hadn’t expected the fees here to be so expensive.
How was he supposed to get more money now?
Although he could ask Bella for help, that would require an explanation.
Enzo took out his phone, remembering that his online loan limit was 20,000 Dollars.
Since there was no other option, this was his only choice.
He took out the loan with a 5% monthly interest rate over 12 months.
It was the only way to receive the money immediately.
Less than a minute later, exactly 20,000 Dollars was deposited into his account without any deductions.
He immediately transferred the entire amount to Violet’s Sanctuary Card, smiling in satisfaction.
Since he wasn’t touching the virtual mouse and keyboard, Violet no longer mirrored his facial expressions.
Afterward, Violet swiped the card at the cell door before her.
DING!
(15,000 Dollars have been deducted from your balance. Remaining Balance: 5,000 Dollars!)
"Transfer everything," Enzo commanded in his mind.
He intended to transfer his Strength, Agility, and Vitality to Violet.
DING!
[Name: Enzo Muller]
[Level: 2]
[EXP: 400/700]
[Strength: 1] [Agility: 1] [Intelligence: 15] [Vitality: 1]
[Name: Violet Muller]
[Level: 2]
[EXP: 400/700]
[Strength: 24] [Agility: 26] [Intelligence: 13] [Vitality: 16]
Apparently, the System didn’t transfer everything.
It left one point of each attribute for him.
Even so, Enzo instantly felt physically weak.
He felt as if even standing up would be difficult.
If he tried to walk, he’d probably end up gasping for breath.
Fortunately, simply sitting still didn’t exhaust him.
In exchange, the power he felt from Violet increased dramatically.
The beginners quickly gathered around the cell to watch.
They could only stare in amazement.
She was already challenging Level 5 Goblins.
Level 1.
Then Level 3.
Now Level 5.
She kept choosing stronger and stronger opponents.
At this rate, the gap between her and the monsters was only growing wider, because there was no way she had already reached Level 3.
After two consecutive battles with her stamina already depleted, this fight should have been much harder.
Just as Violet picked up the sword, several people entered the prison.
The supervisor who had assigned Enzo his job.
Paul Walton, the man who had brought Enzo to this Sanctuary.
And several others he didn’t recognize.
All of them headed toward Violet’s cell.
Violet didn’t even glance at them.
Her attention remained entirely on the two Goblins.
Others assumed she was simply cold and indifferent.
In reality, turning her head around would only make things more troublesome for Enzo, who was controlling her.
One of the Goblins suddenly charged straight at Violet.
It wasn’t particularly fast, but it carried an overwhelming sense of danger.
The higher a monster’s level, the more Mana it required for Violet’s Talent to predict its movements.
This was also because Violet’s Intelligence hadn’t increased.
But with her current physical abilities—
Whoosh!
The instant the Goblin reached her and swung its stone club, Violet’s hand moved first.
In the blink of an eye, her sword pierced straight through the Goblin’s heart.
It was far faster than any of her previous attacks.
The beginners couldn’t even see her movement.
Even the senior Awakeners who had come to observe were stunned.
"So fast... and it struck the most vital point with absolute precision. That attack must be the effect of her Talent."
"There’s no doubt about it. It’s an S-Class assassination-type Talent."
"Yes, but where did she come from? She isn’t on our list, is she? Did someone here bring her?"
"She’s not part of my group."
"Mine either. I remember every beginner I escorted."
"Unless she came here on her own."
Meanwhile, the remaining Goblin was visibly shocked to see its companion stabbed through the heart.
Fury twisted across its face.
From a distance, it swung its massive stone club at Violet.
The attack was incredibly fast thanks to the Goblin’s tremendous physical strength.
Violet had no choice but to leap backward.
Fortunately, she managed to pull her sword free.
What surprised everyone was what happened next.
While Violet was still in midair, the Goblin spun around and hurled its stone club toward her with tremendous force.
The weapon shot forward at incredible speed.
Unfortunately, Invisible alone couldn’t avoid this attack.
It only made her invisible.
It didn’t make her intangible.
If something hit her, she would still be struck.
Watching through the screen, Enzo rapidly searched for a solution.
Then he noticed something.
Directly behind Violet hung a chain suspended from the ceiling.
Naturally, the cell wasn’t completely empty except for monsters.
Various discarded objects were scattered around, though most people ignored them.
The end of the chain hung rather high.
Even while airborne, Violet couldn’t reach it with her hand.
Without even looking, however, she thrust the tip of her sword through one of the chain’s links before twisting the blade, causing it to wrap tightly around the chain.
Gripping the sword’s hilt, she effortlessly pulled her light body higher into the air, narrowly avoiding the incoming club.
The maneuver left even the senior Awakeners speechless.
With a casual flick of her wrist, the sword slipped free from the chain.
She immediately hurled it toward the Goblin with all her strength.
Whoosh!
The sword shot forward like an arrow.
The startled Goblin instinctively raised both arms to block.
The blade pierced straight through both forearms before its tip embedded itself in the Goblin’s chest, forcing it to stagger backward.
However, it didn’t die.
The sword had missed its heart.
Violet instantly rushed forward while the Goblin was still staggering.
She slammed the sword’s hilt with a powerful punch.
The blade drove completely through the Goblin’s chest, piercing its heart.
BANG!
The Goblin crashed to the ground.
