Hobart did not rush to attack. He was observing Achilles's abilities.
He knew the abilities of the starting Sequence of the Secret Supplicant pathway and Sequence 5 Shepherd, and he had a rough idea of the Rose Bishop's abilities. But he only had a vague understanding of the Hermit's and Listener's abilities.
Furthermore, Hobart realized that Achilles's abilities seemed somewhat capable of countering a Barbarian's abilities. At Hobart's current level, all he had to show for himself was brute strength.
But no matter how strong he was, he seemed unable to hit Achilles while he was hiding in the shadows.
If it were any other Sequence 8, facing such an enemy would leave them with little choice but to be slaughtered.
However, Hobart was not afraid in the slightest. He had one Sealed Artifact, three Mystical Items, and one single-use Mystical Item. Even if he could not win, keeping himself alive would not be a problem.
Elizabeth still did not understand what had happened just now, but she could sense that tremendous danger lurked within this room.
The figure standing before her had blocked that danger.
Achilles, within the shadows, had not expected Hobart to possess a Sealed Artifact capable of instantly teleporting someone. But since he had already made his move, he naturally could not stop halfway.

When Achilles had tried to strangle Elizabeth just now, Hobart had not understood what was happening. Now that Achilles was strangling him, he roughly understood.

He tensed his neck, two veins bulging out. Achilles immediately found himself unable to tighten his grip any further.
Hobart smiled. Was
