"I understand. I will return in a few hours when it's time for lunch." Edwin's voice returned after a moment of silence, as he was surprised to hear that Leo was still alive.

'How long will he last? He's already survived longer than the previous 102 sacrifices combined…' Edwin wondered to himself as he walked away from the confined room.

Once they were alone again, Lia spoke, "You don't have to be wary of me now. My bloodlust won't return until sunset, so you're safe until then— that is if you don't suddenly make me angry."

Leo nodded.

"If you don't mind me asking, are you also an Adventurer?" he suddenly asked her.

"Yes, I am a B-Rank Adventurer on the verge of becoming A-Rank," she calmly responded.

"I see…"

'Yup, there's no way I can defeat someone like her!'

"Lilith! Do you have any advice?! At this rate, you will go back to being alone after tonight!" he decided to ask her for help.
