Chapter 75: The Magic Shield is Broken!

Charlotte labeled the prepared medicine and placed it in the laboratory, planning to check tomorrow morning if the medicine's effect on the mice had worn off before taking it.

While taking a bath, Charlotte exchanged today's accumulated wealth of 20,000 for two bottles of potent potions and chugged them down.

The potion's power coursed through its body, rapidly increasing muscle density and mass, resulting in a visible growth of strength.

The muscle shape seemed to have taken form, with only the six-pack abs becoming more defined, without further increase in size.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Charlotte was pleased with this slim appearance in clothes and muscular physique when undressed. It made it easier to lower the opponent's guard. They didn't want to turn into a bulky square-shaped warrior.

Glancing at their attribute panel, apart from strength reaching 1000kg, the most surprising improvement was in martial skill proficiency.

Sword Mastery: Novice: 890/1000; Whirling Slash: Novice: 840/1000.

Momentary Flash: Novice: 790/1000.

Each proficiency had increased by 30 points!

Considering they had trained with the sword all night yesterday and only gained 10 points of proficiency, it was astonishing to gain 30 points from killing three potion peddlers tonight.

So, this is what they call leveling up by fighting monsters?!

Pretty good.

They liked it.

As cold water poured down on them, Charlotte silently reviewed tonight's battle in their mind.

Their performance resembled that of an assassin.

Waiting patiently for the perfect moment to strike a lethal blow.

Achieving maximum results with minimal cost.

Fighting opponents of higher levels was full of danger and unknowns. Using cunning methods to resolve battles was the best choice.

Charlotte didn't limit themselves to the chivalrous and righteous ideals of a knight. They were just an ordinary person striving to survive in this chaotic abyss.

But not all battles provided the opportunity to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. Enhancing their strength became incredibly urgent.

In the abyss, without reaching the advanced level of a fourth-tier knight, they could never have the ability to protect themselves.

Earning money and improving their strength was of paramount importance.

Having changed into their pajamas and lying on the bed, the oil lamp on the wall was still lit. The Judgment Sword was placed on the right side, while two fourth-tier magic talismans were on the left.

To be honest, they hadn't been sleeping well these days.

Although Fox Guards were patrolling the streets, they were not stationed at the clinic's door. If the other party had ill intentions, they could find a gap in the guards' watch.

The magic shield's level was too low. Even a second-tier protection shield could only temporarily withstand attacks from third-tier opponents. But what if the opponent was a fourth-tier powerhouse?

The one eyeing them was not some insignificant person. Controlling a large-scale force of Dark Magic Guards through magic potions, the Jadeson family's power probably ranked first among the four major families.

If Miracle wanted to make money from this, they would soon amass a huge fortune and become even wealthier than merchants.

Of course, Maria was not tempted.

Since birth, she had never been troubled by money.

The increase or decrease in numbers in her financial records never affected her mood.

But this young person who had just joined the Red Moon did pique her interest.

She knew about his past, and he was even trapped in that small place in the abyss, rescuing a stranded little girl and being pursued by a love rival.

And now, he suddenly revealed a winning hand!

A magic practitioner whose magic source had been disabled, yet still chosen by the Adjudicator to join the Red Moon organization.

She admitted that she had underestimated him before.

[Light Chaser: If I were you, I would seek cooperation with a merchant who can maximize the benefits of this potion.]

"Merchant?" Charlotte also sat up from the bed. He knew that the "Merchant" referred to by Light Chaser was a member of the organization with the codename 'Merchant'.

The Adjudicator owed him several thousand gold coins, and he had even tried to pass on the debt to Charlotte.

[Light Chaser: However, merchants are quite cunning. I suggest you talk to the Hermit first. You should have a good relationship with them, right?]

Seeing Light Chaser's reminder, Charlotte's favorable impression of this person also increased.

[Miracle: Aren't you interested in this potion at all?]

Charlotte curiously asked. He approached Light Chaser because their previous collaboration had been pleasant, so he wanted to test her response and see if there was a possibility of cooperation.

But she seemed completely uninterested and directly pushed him towards the Merchant.

[Light Chaser: I know what you're thinking. To be honest, I have no interest in money.]

Charlotte: "Oh..."

[Light Chaser: And I hate trouble the most. If something like this falls into my hands, I would have to find someone to refine and sell it, and just thinking about it feels troublesome.]

Based on Charlotte's inference, she was probably a wealthy woman who didn't lack money.

He liked that.

And as she said, it might be more suitable to entrust this matter to a merchant who excels in handling such things.

[Miracle: I understand, then...]

Rip!

Charlotte hadn't finished typing his words when outside the window, a sound like tearing stockings rang out!

The magical protective barrier had been torn apart!
