Alice was somewhat taken aback by William's sudden anger.
Based on her understanding of the current Soulmaners, there didn't seem to be many impressive figures.
Among those she had encountered, only Zoey and Lucien seemed somewhat stronger; as for the rest… well, she had never lost to them.
Besides, with her master backing her up, why did she need to exert herself?
She wasn't particularly keen on improving her abilities; being moderately powerful was enough for her. She never aspired to be invincible.
Pouting, Alice muttered under her breath, "Isn't having you to back me up enough?"
In Alice's eyes, William was an invincible being. He had effortlessly eradicated numerous "demi-gods." Even if he wasn't always by her side, just unsealing the Sword Spirit in times of danger would be enough to protect her from any harm.
Alice's voice was low, but William, with his keen hearing, caught her words, and his expression grew even grimmer.
