Merlin looked up and gave a slight nod. "I'm fine. How about you? Are you okay? Gustav didn't hurt you, did he?"
Linda landed right in front of him and chuckled softly. "Don't worry. He can't hurt me—not even in his dreams."
Although they were both at the First Spirit Core level, there was still a huge gap between her and Gustav.
Linda specialized as a mage, while Gustav was a close-range fighter.
Based on common sense, Linda should have been at a disadvantage. But reality proved otherwise.
Even though she relied on long-range attacks, intelligence, experience, and talent could easily change the outcome of a battle.
With her strength, overwhelming Gustav and cornering him was effortless.
Merlin felt relieved when he heard her words. Then he asked, "Did you manage to kill him?"
