Chapter 90 - Eclipsion Reach
Mira received a significant upgrade on her talents, from just a single duplicate summon. Considering that each elite subordinate could be upgraded up to six times, their potential for growth was truly immense.
However, Atlas knew that once he exhausted his supply of standard tickets, his progress would likely slow down significantly. Acquiring more standard tickets wouldn’t be as straightforward as it had been with the generous bonuses he’d received early on.
As for exclusive tickets, he planned to save and use them only when a new exclusive character appeared in the banner. This approach made sense, but it also meant that getting duplicates for exclusive characters, like Morganna, would be exceptionally difficult.
Today marked the end of the current Reinforcement Phase, and he would have to face another defense, the final defense against challengers of this season. Afterward, he would still have the opportunity to select opponents for his own offensive strikes.
During this phase, any Lord had the option to decline a challenge, accepting minor material losses if they deemed the challenger too powerful.
But retreating wasn’t in his plans. Every preparation and upgrade he’d made for his subordinates had been geared toward fighting, not backing down.

Edrik nodded. "Still, My Lord, I’ve double-checked. Everyone’s armor and weapons are in excellent condition."
Atlas returned the nod. "And the analysis of tomorrow’s opponent, Edrik?"
Edrik crossed his arms. "They have strong offensive capabilities, with a Lord who seems to have stayed in this division for quite a while. It’s... a woman."
"A woman?"
