Renji immediately checked Eileen's updated stats. From the attribute values, it was evident that the girl had specific strengths and was leaning towards the [Harvester] role.

The [Harvester] is a refined sub-branch of the major profession [Vanguard] typically referring to those Eclipses with high agility and attack – the offensive type.

As a comparison, Renji couldn't help but recall another wife from his first cycle, who was also of the [Vanguard] profession, Nova the dragon girl.

Her Vanguard specialization was the [Tyrant]

Five hundred years ago, in an era where Miasma monsters roamed freely, the Harvester wasn't particularly popular among the Vanguards. Renji had a preference for the half-tank, half-offense [Tyrant] role.

However, now, five centuries later, times have changed. With a clear decline in the average strength of enemies, the advantage of the Harvesters has become evident.

In simpler terms, they dominate weaker foes more fiercely.

"Give it back! That's an 'artifact' belonging to our Callewa! What have you done with our possession?" Ajax shouted...

In such a crucial moment, Renji wouldn't fail her.

Actually, the safest option at the moment would be for him to release the [Magnetic Pulse], disarming all the gang members in the factory, ensuring the battle's outcome would be without suspense.

But,

'How should I put it?'

'It's like when you've just drawn a powerful new character in a game. After eagerly investing all resources into it, you can't wait to use this new character to take on dungeons, defeat bosses, and reap rewards. This is the joy of role-playing games'

And Renji wanted to experience this joy.

Thus, he didn't take any action. Instead, he simply nodded at the girl, giving her a look that said,

"Go ahead, don't mind me."

"Sure~"

"Just be careful" he warned. But be careful out there. Their firepower sounds pretty fierce. Make sure you don't get overwhelmed."

To Renji's feigned concern, Eileen lifted her huge sword over her shoulder. Compared to the red sword that was over a meter long, she appeared petite, creating a stark contrast.

She only left Renji with her silhouette and two brief sentences.

"I'll make them shut up."

"In a way that they'll never make a sound again."

Blocking the rain of bullets from the gang took her seven seconds. Talking to the antique took five seconds. Eileen felt that the explosive power within her had diminished considerably. Even the crimson sword in her hand had lost its glow and became a blurred phantom.

She probably had about three seconds left before this "state" completely wore off.

The gang members, led by Callewa's head Ajax, saw this as a sign that Eileen was weakening. The leader frantically tried to boost the morale of his men, intending to launch another attack and eliminate Eileen in one fell swoop.

But for Eileen, three seconds were more than enough.

She set her sights on the closest group of gangsters. Bending her knees slightly, she leapt into the air. With her sword held high above her head, she then descended rapidly, slashing down with all her might.

Boom!

As the blade hit the ground, the unlucky gangsters at the center were obliterated by the powerful force of the sword's energy, turning them into minced meat. The fractured floor revealed a deep trench. Clearly, the girl with the huge sword was not just skilled in one-on-one combat. Each of her moves, bolstered by the crimson sword, had area-of-effect damage (AOE).

Moreover, a moment ago, the girl appeared weakened. But with the next strike that took out seven or eight gang members, her aura surged dramatically. The crimson sword, made from the Tainted Miasma, regained its solidity as if it were tangible.

The red sword vibrated in Eileen's hand. Each time she used it to deliver death to a Callewa member — crushing the bodies of these insignificant ants who dared to imprison and steal its power — it emitted an excited sound, almost like a triumphant cry.
