Chapter 55: The Lady In Black, Part Forty

Zenith stood in her apartment, her eyes fixed on the ceiling as she lay in bed.

Two days had passed in a blur of relentless training, each hour dedicated to honing her Combat Magic skill.

The repeated casting of her {Necrotic Bolt} spell had etched a weary determination into her features, her resolve unyielding despite the physical and mental toll.

Emi walked on over. 

"What's the plan for today?"

Zenith's gaze snapped to Emi, her mind already set on their next move.

"Today," she declared, her voice resolute, "we're going after the orc World Boss."

Emi's eyebrows shot up in surprise.

"Already? But I thought-" 

"We can't afford to wait any longer," Zenith interrupted, her tone firm. "Asuka's life might be on the line."

Emi nodded slowly, understanding the urgency in Zenith's words.

"Okay, got it," Emi replied. "Should I call Syneris?"

Zenith nodded.
