753 Finding Max (5)

Was Lyria involved in the mission to capture him? Or was her presence merely coincidental? The answers eluded him, hidden within the confines of that conversation.

As Erik cracked the door, he held his breath and listened. It was true he didn't expect Lyria being there, but that didn't have to be something entirely negative.

Despite fearing the woman's skills at accomplishing missions, he could still gain some valuable insights from that conversation.

Thankfully, the two were engrossed in their conversation to notice him. Erik transformed into a fly and slipped inside unnoticed, using his newfound shapeshifting abilities.

As he flew around the room, he took in every detail, scanning the area for any clues that could help him with his mission.

Erik's eyes darted around the room, taking in its details while his mind was focused on a more pressing task.

The walls, though beautifully adorned with intricate tapestries and paintings that spoke of wealth and power, little interested him at the moment.

His attention was on the documents over the desk the man was sitting in front t.

All the while, he kept an ear tuned to the conversation between Lyria and the man she was engaged with.

He hoped to glean useful information without drawing attention to himself.

Erik flew closer to them first to better see the documents and second to listen with more ease. He couldn't afford to miss any details.

Lyria leaned forward, her eyes fixed on the man. "I know Erik well," she said, her voice laced with a mix of caution and fear. "I've been keeping him under observation for quite some time."

That surprised Erik. There shouldn't have been a reason for Lyria to monitor him unless she approached him because of that.

Curiosity mixed with concern, the man leaned forward. "What is it?"

Lyria leaned in closer, her voice lowered to a hushed tone. "Based on the information we gathered when he joined the Mercenary guild, his amount of mana is surprisingly low. Despite his immense physical strength, his brain crystal capabilities are limited."

The man's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "But how can that be? How can someone with such incredible power have low mana?"

Lyria shrugged, a hint of intrigue in her eyes. "That's the mystery we're trying to unravel. Erik may have found alternative ways to channel his strength without relying heavily on mana. Or perhaps he's intentionally concealing his abilities."

Forged by flames is out.
