Book 5: Chapter 203: Move
No matter how far Erica went, she was still within this small world.
Lilith, who had never witnessed such a battle of this magnitude, wasn’t certain whether it would affect the entire realm. This uncertainty was why she had been so eager to eliminate the participants; their presence would only complicate matters.
She hadn’t anticipated the situation escalating so quickly—only the second day of the match, far sooner than she had expected. Her initial plan had been to clear the participants swiftly in the first few days, allowing at least five days for preparation.
However, the enemy had given her no time to prepare. As always, they appeared suddenly and without warning, catching her off guard.
“Hurry up and go,” Lilith said to Erica, her eyes never leaving Three, who was smiling and making no immediate moves for now.
“Go to Princess Luna and tell her that I’ve ordered her to retreat to the borders of the small world. She is not to return until I personally contact her,” she said.
“Okay.” Erica, sensing that she was not to be involved in this situation, nodded and, though still confused, departed quickly. Thanks to her identity as Mr. Card, Erica knew Princess Luna was currently in the western forest.
Lilith watched Erica until she disappeared from view. “What a surprise. You let her go so easily,” Lilith said, relaxing her tensed posture and directing a curious gaze at Three.
“Not only that but you also prevented me from killing her earlier… I don’t recall you guys being this merciful,” she added.
