章 98: Heroine Happy to See Lucan in New Outfit

Lucan sat in his room, his gaze fixed on the Pride Ring encircling his finger. This ring, a symbol of immense power, granted him the status of a Kingdom-Class mage. But he knew that this strength was not truly his own; it was the ring's magic that elevated him. If the ring were to be taken away, so too would his power vanish.

"The ring is useful," Lucan muttered, turning the band around his finger, "but I have to be strong by myself."

He leaned back, contemplating the steps he could take to increase his own power, independent of the ring. His years living with Maris had significantly expanded his mana capacity, even though he couldn't reach the true Kingdom-Class on his own. Still, he had become a formidable SS-Class Priest.
