Chapter 194: High Elf Queen (2)
“I don’t know the limits of my body,” Ketal admitted.
Since coming outside of the White Snowfield, he had never once been injured. Only a single time—when Lubitra left a mark on him—had he sustained anything resembling a wound. Even then, it was just a reddish trace that would fade with time.
Ketal truly had no idea what kind of strength it would take to break through his body’s defenses.
“That’s not exactly a good thing,” he mused.
He couldn’t just keep relying on his physical toughness forever. There was always the risk of underestimating an opponent’s power and suffering a serious injury as a result.
“But if anyone could help me gauge my limits, it would be you. You’re the High Elf Queen. You’re a Hero.”
Heroes were one of the strongest existences in the world, and she was right in front of him now. If anyone could determine where his limits lay, it would be her.
Arkemis, who had been quietly listening, nodded as if Ketal’s reasoning made sense. “That’s actually a good idea.”
“Is it possible?” Ketal asked her, eyes alight with anticipation.
He had his reasons, but in truth, Ketal simply wanted to fight. He wanted to measure the strength of the world’s strongest—how they compared to the monsters of the White Snowfield, and what kind of power a Spirit King’s contractor could wield.
It was something he had been deeply curious about for a long time. Now that he finally had the chance to satisfy that curiosity, it was almost impossible to hold back.
Karin hesitated for a moment, then spoke gently but quickly.
