(Heartfelt thanks to 'Billions of Dust Motes' for the 1888 reward, and to 'Sui Feng Qi Wu,' 'Ice: Moon Shadow,' 'Yunqi Qinggu,' 'Shao Feng Ye,' and 'npctaojie' for their rewards!)
After a brief exchange, Wu Yan had gained a rough understanding of just how powerful Ellen was after equipping Pandora Gear...
Peak Eighth Order! A true Peak Eighth Order!
She was stronger than Kotori, Kurumi, Tohka, Yoshino, and even Miku had once been!
Now, Wu Yan finally understood why Ellen had been so confident in her own power. She truly possessed the strength to defeat Spirits alone—and even kill them!
If Wu Yan had never come to this world, and Kotori, Kurumi, Tohka, and Yoshino had not become his summoned characters, then in a one-on-one fight, they really would not have been Ellen's match!
The world's strongest wizard?...
An existence no one could defeat?...
Indeed, Ellen was qualified to bear such a title and say such words!
But that had been in the past!
Now, not to mention Kotori and Tohka, who had already advanced to the Ninth Order—even Kurumi, who was also at the Peak Eighth Order, could defeat Ellen with ease!
In terms of raw strength, Kurumi and Ellen might have been evenly matched. But Zafkiel's abilities were simply too overpowered. And now that she no longer needed to worry about "time," defeating Ellen would not be difficult!
Even Yoshino, the weakest among them, could match Ellen evenly after summoning her "Angel"!
Because of the variable that was Wu Yan, this world was no longer an era in which Ellen could be called the strongest!
Of course, there might have been other people Wu Yan did not know who could defeat Ellen. But at least for now, in this world, the truly strongest one was undoubtedly Wu Yan!
