Gisele gave up on rescuing Dominic and the others. She hadn't figured out what Chloe was doing, but she was certain Chloe wouldn't dare hurt them right under Alvin's nose...
Perhaps because Alvin had launched his plan without even giving her a heads-up, the newly crowned goddess of war felt ignored.
For some reason, Gisele was in an exceptionally foul mood. She swung her long sword, cutting through a mass of nearby muddy vines...
The special sword Dominic had once used to hunt witches was incredibly sharp.
The flames ignited by the "Holy Blood" on its blade were the bane of witchcraft. The muddy vines that Gisele had needed to put some effort into cutting through just minutes ago now fell apart with a pitiful wail at the slightest touch...
Armed with a powerful weapon and burdened by complicated feelings, Gisele began a bold charge, as if venting her frustration.
The Runeword "Fortitude" on her armor gave her three times the attack power and twice the defense.
After taking a few more lashes from the vines, a silver glow suddenly burst from Gisele. A ring of sharply edged ice shards swirled around her, forming a frost armor worthy of myth...
Watching Gisele unleash her full power, Chloe looked at Alvin with the eyes of someone gazing at God. "How did you do that?
I saw you just pat her chest a few times. I thought it was just a simple enchantment..."
Alvin smiled, looking rather pleased with himself. "A lot of people say I'm the strongest mech warrior on Earth. Others say I'm a mage...
But they don't understand. I'm actually a Druid..."
Chloe looked at Alvin, impressed but none the wiser. "What does being a Druid have to do with enchanting?"
Alvin smiled and shook his head. "Actually, nothing..."
