Shaye Nicholas was furious.
She felt she had been toyed with by the Hero, and by that damned person who had planted something like a curse on her. She even seriously wondered if the Hero and that person were one and the same.
But, after careful consideration, Shaye discarded the notion, feeling it unlikely.
After all, to leave such a weird effect on her body, one that still influenced her despite being far away from the Imperial City, meant that the other person's strength must be comparable to her own, or even stronger.
As for the Hero... well.
He was the most powerful human Shaye had ever seen.
This was beyond doubt. The human experts that Shaye knew, whether it was Wozworth, Saint Monica, or Augustus, none could match the Hero.
Shaye's discernment was extremely sharp; she could tell at a glance that although the Hero's level wasn't high, his strength could not be measured by his level. Even taking down Qin Chu would definitely be a struggle for her.
