Darry's smug expression was replaced with anger now. His pride was wounded.
He stepped back and growled. "It seems I need to teach you who's in charge here."
One of his henchn stepped forward and smirked before summoning his beast. "Co here, Razorfang!"
A portal appeared and from within, a wolf walked out. Its fangs were sharp and its claws were crackling with faint electric sparks.
Lucius watched with interest as the henchman raised his arm. "Razorfang, Weaponize!"
The wolf imdiately transford into a curved sword and grabbed by the henchman.
He twirled it around before settling into a stance and glaring at Lucius.
Lucius raised his eyebrow as he was intrigued. "So this is beast weaponization. It is pretty interesting."
He walked closer. "It's a different approach compared to fusion... makes the beast a tool rather than an extension of oneself." Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
Loreia glanced at the henchman. She was unimpressed. "Seems weak."
Lucius agreed, but just to be sure, he quickly scanned the fighter's stats.

Lucius smirked. "I see. So the wolf must have only recently reached C-Rank."
Liora kept her cold gaze.
Liora's cold gaze flickered to the henchman. "He's inexperienced."
Lucius nodded slightly. "Yes. He must have just advanced to Beast Fighter and chose Weaponization over Fusion. A beginner, in other words."
Luna sighed dramatically. "And here I thought we'd at least get sothing interesting."
The henchman, overhearing their conversation, gritted his teeth and snapped. "Tch. You talk too much."
He gripped his weaponized beast tightly. "Let's see if you still think I'm weak after I cut you down."
Darry grinned, crossing his arms. "That's right. Let's see you act arrogant when your blood's on the floor."
Lucius tilted his head and smirked. "Alright then, show what you can do."
Just as the henchman was ready to attack, Luna suddenly stepped forward. "Wait, Master Lucius."
Lucius was surprised and turned toward her. Luna then smirked, pointing her finger toward Loreia.
"How about we use this chance to let big sister Loreia show off a little?"
Loreia, who had been casually leaning back, snapped her head toward Luna in shock. "? What the hell? Why ?"
Luna grinned. "Co on, you just got your fancy new beast. Ti to prove you're not just all talk."
Loreia scowled. "I don't even have Argentis with right now. If I die, I die."
Lucius chuckled. "Oh? So you do think you'll lose?"
Loreia gritted her teeth. "That's not the point—!"
Lucius ignored her complaints and turned toward her with a smirk. "Don't worry about that, big sister."
Before she could react, he tossed sothing toward her.
Five small, tallic objects flew through the air.
Loreia instinctively caught them, her fingers tightening around them.
They were sharp, claw-like weapons, designed to fit over her fingers like extensions of her own hands.
Lucius smirked. "Those are special weapons I made. Use them."
Loreia glanced down at them, then back at Lucius. "You just happen to have weapons for ?"
Lucius shrugged. "I always co prepared."
Loreia sighed before sliding the claws onto her fingers. The mont she did, a strange sensation ran through her body.
Her muscles felt lighter, her reflexes sharper.
She flexed her fingers, feeling the claws beco an extension of her own hands.
"I see..." she muttered, a small smirk forming. "This is quite nice."
Luna clapped her hands together. "There we go! Now, go ahead, big sister. Show that idiot what happens when he picks a fight with the wrong people."
Loreia cracked her neck, rolling her shoulders. "Fine."
She stepped forward, locking her gaze onto the henchman. "You wanted a fight, right? Then co and get it."
The henchman frowned as he looked at his current opponent. He hadn't expected her to step up.
He imdiately warned her. "You better back down. Even if you're a girl, I won't hesitate to strike you down."
Loreia arched her eyebrow, her smirk never fading. "Oh? Should I be impressed? Are you expecting to start trembling because of that empty threat?"
The henchman clicked his tongue, irritated by her lack of fear. "Tch. It's not a threat. It's a warning. This sword isn't for show."
He raised his Razorfang sword, showing the electricity to her. "If you get cut, you won't just feel pain—you'll be paralyzed."
He grinned as he was confident in his weapon's ability. "Still want to act tough?"
Loreia crossed her arms, sighing dramatically. "And here I thought you'd be at least a little more creative. Let guess, after this, you'll say sothing like 'you'll regret this' or 'don't bla if you die,' right?"
Luna laughed, leaning slightly toward Lucius. "She's having fun with this."
Lucius smirked. "Let her enjoy herself. It's her first real fight outside the training simulations."
The henchman snarled. "Tch, you asked for it!"
Without another word, he lunged forward. He used his Razorfang sword, aiming for her shoulder.
But to his surprise, he hit nothing, as Loreia had already moved.
She bent her body to the right, smoothly dodging the attack.
She had fought and died countless tis within the virtual world so this battle was just child play.
The mont she dodged, she imdiately countered.
With precision, she raised her hand—her newly-equipped finger claws—and attacked.
Slash!
A single, swift cut struck the henchman's right arm.
He twitched slightly, a small streak of blood forming along his forearm.
But instead of backing down, he chuckled.
"Hah. Is that all?" He mocked, shaking his arm. "It barely even hurts."
Loreia's smirk widened.
"You should check your condition first."
The henchman's grin wavered.
Then, suddenly—his entire right arm went numb.
His expression shifted from cocky confidence to sudden panic.
"W-What the hell..." He looked at his arm—but he couldn't feel it. He couldn't move it.
His sword trembled in his grip, his fingers struggling to respond. "What… what did you do to ?!"
Loreia spun her claws once, admiring them. "Oh, nothing much."
She glanced at him with a smile. "Just a little sothing extra that my little brother Lucius added."
Luna chuckled. "Oh, this is getting fun."
Lucius, watching silently from the side, smirked. "Seems like you're finally getting used to fighting in reality, big sister."
Loreia grinned. "Well? Are we done here, or should I take another arm?"
