"Enough, enough. I have a legitimate wife; I shouldn't bother with these roadside women."

Eirik decided to embrace his role as a recluse once more. As a husband, he felt he should consider his wife's feelings and keep his distance from those women.

"Great! My love, outside the Forbidden Zone of Rebirth, there's an ancient tomb perfect for us to dwell in."

With that, Eirik and Elvynna set off toward the ancient graveyard.

This time, they moved with extreme secrecy. To be cautious, Elvynna even used an item to block the spectator function, ensuring no other players could track their whereabouts.

However, Elvynna was unprepared for the fact that, despite these precautions, Scarlett’s people were still hunting them down.

"How can Scarlett's people find us when even the other players don’t know where we are?!" Elvynna felt a chill run down her spine.

Adding to her unease, she had been feeling a strange presence surrounding her lately. Suddenly, it dawned on her.

"…The Oracle’s Mirror! That woman is using the Oracle’s Mirror to track my movements!"

The Oracle’s Mirror was a divine artifact discovered in the Demon Realm's Forbidden Sea, capable of glimpsing fragments of the future.

It was incredibly precious and limited in usage—even within the Dawnstar Dynasty, it was a top-tier treasure.

In fact, the Oracle’s Mirror had only been used twice in the history of the Dawnstar Dynasty: once to hunt down a deposed emperor and once to pursue the legendary Longevity Tree sap, which granted immense lifespan.

For Scarlett to go to such lengths to kill a mere Savant Level 1 like herself? It was absurd! Elvynna began to suspect—was Scarlett really a player? Had her obsession with Eirik, known as the golden card, driven her to such extremes?

In truth, Elvynna was overthinking the situation.

The reason Scarlett used the Oracle’s Mirror was not because Elvynna was a player but because she had a high-ranking member of the Holy Light Church aiding her, who had betrayed the Church to side with the royal family.

This person might not know why Eirik was special, but if an Alchemist Master valued him, then killing Eirik seemed like a safe bet.

Scarlett and Elvynna already had a grudge. Now that Scarlett sensed Elvynna's growing power, she was determined to eliminate her.

The significance of their partnership would naturally attract the princess’s attention.

At that moment, with the Oracle’s Mirror locking onto them, Elvynna decided to abandon her efforts to hide from other spectators. Soon, everyone learned of her predicament.

“Whoa, Elvynna-senpai, it seems you’re really playing with fire this time!”

“I hope the assassin shows mercy—just kill Elvynna-senpai and leave Eirik alone!”

“This enemy is a Savant Level 3? No matter how strong Eirik, known as the golden card, is, it won’t be enough!”

The world channel buzzed with chatter.

“With the help of Vio, the ultimate tool, what enemy can’t we handle?”

“Elvynna-senpai, ask Vio for help! With her here, those little assassins won't pose any trouble at all!”

Elvynna felt overwhelmed by the barrage of comments. Had she messed up again? She wanted to have children with Eirik, but now it seemed all hope was lost!

Meanwhile, Violanda was just as frustrated. What did they mean by “ultimate tool”?

If they had the guts, why not reveal themselves?

Violanda glared at her screen, teeth clenched, her frustration causing the nearby table to rattle.

“Sorry, Elvynna, but you’re on your own. We're too far apart; even if I rushed over, I doubt I could save you.”

With that, she closed her eyes, preparing for the next round of the game.

【The assassin, radiating a blood-red aura, suddenly grew in size, looming like a crimson mountain, charging towards them with earth-shattering force... 】

“Another Savant Level 3 assassin…” Eirik stared at the text, shocked. Did it really come to this?

In truth, Eirik possessed a powerful item he hadn’t yet used, which could potentially turn the tide. But he hesitated, not wanting to waste it unless absolutely necessary.

On the other side, Elvynna couldn’t hold back any longer.

“These women want to see me fail! I, Elvynna, will not grant you that satisfaction. A Savant Level 3 might be formidable, but I have items!”

In her previous lives, Elvynna had reached terrifying heights in power and rank.So, she received a special item as a reward from the system.

【“You have activated the item 'Shard of Rebirth.' Congratulations! You have gained one-tenth of your peak magical power from your past life, significantly boosting your combat abilities.”】

Elvynna felt a surge throughout her body as an inexplicable gate in her mind opened. A colossal power rushed forth, vast as rivers and lakes, unending and relentless!

At her peak, Elvynna was a Grandmaster Level 9! She could even aspire to become one of the strongest beings in the universe. What was a mere Savant Level 3 assassin to her?!

【“Stop running; you will die tonight!”】

The assassin's dagger, gleaming with bloodlight, slashed toward Elvynna, as if to cleave heaven and earth apart. He believed without a doubt that this strike would be her end.

But the next moment, he witnessed the most unforgettable scene of his life. The woman, with her flowing hair, faced his ferocious attack with no intent of retreat. Instead, she moved closer to his menacing magical blade!

With each step she took, her strength surged!

First step—Savant Level 3. Second step—Savant Level 9. Third step—Grandmaster level!

The blood-clad assassin thought he was seeing things. Just like that, a Savant Level 1 scholar had transformed into a Grandmaster—a myth on the continent?!

But he had no time to think further. In the next instant, he felt the world spin wildly, disorienting him.

In reality, the world wasn't spinning; his head was flying off...

“Whoa, Elvynna, you’re incredible!” Eirik was stunned.

At the same time, he vaguely understood that Elvynna must have used some kind of item—similar to the one he held!

“Hurry and go! The Shard of Rebirth I used can only last for fifteen minutes; after that, the Oracle’s Mirror will lock onto us again!” Elvynna urged, frowning.

Fifteen minutes? Her Shard of Rebirth was nowhere near as powerful as his item.

Eirik pondered. His item could last for twelve hours. But since Elvynna had a stronger past, her effects were more impressive.

“You want me to leave? What about you?” Eirik asked seriously.

“I need to use this fifteen minutes to kill Scarlett!” Elvynna replied.

Scarlett was thousands of miles away in Elaresar, yet Elvynna intended to kill her in just fifteen minutes? That sounded outrageous.

But with her newfound Grandmaster power, she was almost a legend; perhaps it wasn’t impossible. However, the Dawnstar Dynasty was formidable, with terrifying figures within its royal ranks.

Elvynna’s journey would be perilous, so she wanted Eirik to leave first.

“Take me with you! I might be able to help!” Eirik insisted, gazing into her eyes.

“Take you with me?” Elvynna hesitated. Honestly, she thought bringing Eirik along would be a distraction.

But looking into her husband’s eyes, she paused and chose to trust him.

In the next moment, the two soared into the sky, racing toward Elaresar!
