"I'm sure Vill-V would be very interested in that suggestion of yours... But I seem to sense another presence near the Divine Key?"

"Anyway, even if we really have to fight later, Elysia, don't push your power beyond its limits. Your remaining time takes priority." Xia Ling looked at Elysia nervously.
After all, this puppet was capable of fighting Durandal to a draw. She was truly afraid of getting beaten too badly and causing Elysia to lose restraint and intervene.
The temporary Operators summoned by the system through the Cipher Plate were essentially given temporary bodies. However, the output range of those bodies was fixed, equal to Xia Ling's Elite 2 level—the level of an S-rank Valkyrie.
