That also meant Lilith was level 999, and her HP, ATK, and everything else were all those values!
It matched his own guess perfectly. That really made things difficult.
Seeing Shirou's expression grow increasingly grim, Hakuno could not help asking, "Archer, what's wrong? Can't figure it out?"
Shirou shook his head with a bitter smile. "No, that's not it. It's more hopeless because I did figure it out. Take Elizabeth, for example. Her level was fifty or sixty higher than mine, and even though my own traits were much stronger than hers, I could only barely protect myself. But Lilith's level is higher than mine—no, that's not right. This isn't even a matter of being higher. The maximum level is only 100, yet she's level 999. And everything else—her HP, attack power—they're all 99999..."
As he spoke, Shirou grew utterly drained.
What kind of freak was this?
Forget fighting. He was going home to farm.
999 damage with one slash—was she some knockoff gaming legend?
"Master, Rin and the others probably didn't want to tell you the answer because they were afraid of hurting your confidence. But now that you've shown me these stats, there was no point in them hiding it." Shirou sounded helpless and even felt that he had talked too much. "I'm truly sorry."
"Archer, you don't need to apologize. Even if you say that, I'm still confident that I can defeat Lilith."
Hakuno's expression did not change. She still wore that dead-fish look.
Emotional fluctuations were perfectly normal—a straight line.
Not the slightest rise or fall. If she were written into a novel, she would definitely be the most boring kind.
"Because Archer is the strongest."
Shirou could not help laughing at Hakuno's dead-serious expression. But as he laughed, he fell silent for quite a while
