After the three worked together to annihilate the entire horde, the Boss and his lackey came out. They looked nervous, yet still upheld a smirk, holding two crystals that reminded Elesch of when she fought the musketeer.
"Brother, be careful, those crystals they are holding are dangerous; they can turn an F-rank or E-rank immediately to D-rank," Elesch spoke with concern and fear, as she had nearly died just a few days ago. "The lackey already seems to be a D-rank Adventurer. If he absorbs that crystal, he may just become a B-tier or maybe even an A-tier threat."
Well, that's just fantastic, Nova thought, slightly gloomy, as he realized that he might die today. The boss isn't even awakened, but assuming he absorbs the crystal and happens to get an insane amount of strength, say D-rank, then he would still be manageable, since my daggers will be able to pierce through his body. But if the other guy absorbs, then it's game over.
