Can't I Just Raise Myself?

What is going on? Is this person immortal?!

Eiko was a bit dazed.

Whether it was the previous strike or the one just now, both attacks should have had a significant impact on Lin Qi, yet how did she look completely fine?

Could this be her supernatural ability?

Eiko chased out the front door and saw several constables holding revolvers rushing toward this side from a distance.

Not good.

After a moment of hesitation, she turned and rushed back into the mansion.

Before the constables discovered this place, Eiko had to investigate everything as quickly as possible.

One hour later.

Central District.

Residential street.

A beautiful, blonde-haired young girl was sitting upright at a tea table.

Suddenly, a sound came from outside the house. She stood up, opened the door, and looked down from the second-floor corridor at the figure walking into the house.

"Eiko."

"Your Highness."

Eiko walked quickly upstairs.

"How is the situation? Did you find anything?"

The blonde-haired girl asked.

"Your Highness, you were right. The Hand of Darkness is indeed lurking in Berman City."

Eiko said respectfully to the girl.

If Ryan were here, he would certainly recognize the identity of the blonde-haired girl—the Fifth Princess of the Empire, Caslathdi!

"Tell me in detail." Caslathdi said softly.

Eiko recounted the events at 228 Black Ding Street.

"...I went back to search, but the relic produced by the ritual was nowhere to be found. I'm afraid it was already taken by someone."

"That suspicious person?" Caslathdi's eyes flickered slightly. "Could it be that she took the relic?"

"I'm not sure, but I feel it probably wasn't her. She isn't with the people from the Hand of Darkness."

Although Lin Qi had indeed approached the corpse of the Singer, Eiko was certain that the other party hadn't touched the Singer. As for why she had reached out to touch the air a few times, she didn't quite understand.

"How is her strength?"

"This..." Eiko pondered for a moment. "At most Tier 1, maybe even less. She is just very skilled at running away. I clearly wounded her, yet her movements seemed completely unaffected. It's truly strange."

"Your Highness, what should we do now? The relic has been taken. Should we leave Berman City as soon as possible?"

Caslathdi had been summoned to return to the imperial capital, Baron. On the surface, her travel entourage was still in the previous city, preparing to take a steam train to Berman City, but in secret, she had already traveled ahead alone with Eiko.

Caslathdi had come for the Hand of Darkness. Although the cult's rituals were despised by the Empire, the class-transfer relic was a key to obtaining a supernatural path. Being able to cultivate one more Supernatural Being—especially in a promising profession like the Soul Eater—would be of great help to her.

It was just that the class-transfer relic was now missing, and finding it in a short time was almost impossible.

Rather than risking a needle in a haystack, it was better to leave early.

After all, there were quite a few people who wanted to kill Caslathdi.

"No, I must meet with Uncle Bill. This is vital to me." Caslathdi pondered. "Don't worry about the Hand of Darkness anymore. Contact Uncle Bill for me. We will meet at Janus Church tomorrow at three in the afternoon."
