Lily had been just as eager as Amber from the moment Marcus's expression changed. She guided her Darkfire Phoenix closer, eyes fixed on him, trying to read his face.
When Marcus opened his skill menu, Amber leaned in without hesitation, practically pressed against his chest, and began reading the descriptions aloud in her soft, lilting voice so Lily could hear every word.
By the time she finished going through Dual Weapon Mastery, Triple Surge, and Hundred Phantom Strike, both girls were glowing with excitement.
"Marcus, that's such a huge boost," Lily said, her calm tone unable to fully hide her admiration.
Amber was even less restrained. She beamed up at him after every line, pride sparkling in her eyes. To her, this was not just progress in a game. This was her brother becoming even more unstoppable.
"Alright," Amber murmured, her voice dropping slightly as her eyes moved to the last entry. "Fourth skill. Sanctuary Covenant."
She repeated the name more slowly this time.
