Chapter 80: The Tin Knight and The Land of Deep Green (10)
In fact, since entering the Garden, Adelaide hadn’t shown much of a performance.
She could fight reasonably well against ordinary wild animals or magic beasts, but she couldn’t defeat individuals that the Tin Knight—and Dorothea, who was influenced by him—evaluated as “boss-level”.
The reason was simple.
It was because her attack power was insufficient.
When dealing with people, most attacks with a sword would be effective, so there was no need to struggle with lack of attack power, but among the strong in the Garden, there were many who considered slashes no more than scratches.
Her exceptional evasion ability and agility didn’t disappear, so she didn’t lose easily, but Adelaide also lacked the ability to deliver a decisive blow, so stalling her opponent was her limit.
And this time, the monsters born from the fruits each possessed strength at or just below boss level.
Honestly, they were enemies Adelaide couldn’t handle.
So.
Whoosh!
That was, until white energy settled on Adelaide’s sword.
