Chapter 150 - Slave (1/2)

Albert kept running as long as he had enough stamina left. Even Shella was impressed by Albert's determination.

They didn't have many breaks and when they were on break, Shella protected him to the best of her ability, making sure there were no monsters in the area, especially during the night when Albert slept. She had no need for a break or a sleep anyway, so she could protect him. This was why Yale insisted on Albert bringing Shella with him.

After three days, Albert came to realize that his stamina had increased a little bit from the fact he lasted a bit longer when he ran. His speed also slightly increased.

However, he saw that his EXP or Level didn't have a change, meaning that he could still get stronger without actually leveling up.

He had been relying on his level this whole time to the point he believed the increase of his power solely came from level.

Now that he had proved his doubt, there was one thing he could do.

When he reached the entrance of the forest that surrounded the volcano, Albert asked, ”Shella. Do you have anything to test Magic Power in one's body?”

”I can check it as long as you don't fight back. I only need to pour my Magic Power into your body. As long as you don't pour your Magic Power, I should be able to sense it.”

”Can you check my body for me?”

”Yes, I can, but you need to know that it's impossible for me to accurately measure your Magic Power, Milord. Only a rough guess.”

”I don't mind. What should I do?”

”Extend your hand. I will do the rest.”

Without hesitation, Albert raised his hand and extended it to Shella.

Shella held Albert's lower and upper arms with both hands and poured her Magic Power into his body. However, her jaw suddenly dropped to the ground.

She was taken aback by what she had seen inside Albert's body. ”Impossible. Doesn't Milord have Magic Power in your body? How? You have used Spells… Even a 4-Star one!”

Albert sighed and finally got his answer. ”I see. So, that's how it is…”

”Milord?”

Albert thought for a moment and looked at Shella. Unlike any other person, Shella was adept in research, so she should understand his current situation if he gave some information. At the same time, she wasn't bound by contracts like a slave, so there was a chance that she would talk about it in the future.

However, Shella didn't seem to be someone that would betray him, so he wished to learn more about his body with her cooperation.

Albert hesitated for a moment and asked, ”Can you keep this a secret? What I want to share with you is something important to me.”
