She was also aware that a rapid increase in strength could lead to a mismatch with her own temperament, resulting in negative influences stemming from her power.
For example, it could give rise to arrogance, impulsiveness, or pride.
However, these issues were closely related to one's character.
"Did I not expect to be affected as well?" Freya thought, slightly puzzled.
It should be noted that since her arrival in this world, aside from a few specific incidents, she had faced everything with the most rational attitude. Yet today, she felt an inexplicable irritation and resistance deep down towards Murphy... it seemed that just one word from him instinctively made her want to refuse!
Of course, while the words she had spoken were indeed what she truly thought, the coldness in her tone was not her intention.
Freya furrowed her brow, beginning to sense something was off with her. However, pondering over it now was of little use.
Looking around at her surroundings, she understood that she was currently in a temporary safe space.
The intense pain in her head had gradually subsided. She tried to move her weakened body and found it was not as bad as she had imagined.
In her memory, during the last moment before she collapsed, she had clearly felt that most of her muscles were severely strained, and her internal organs and bones had sustained some damage.
To her surprise, after only three days of unconsciousness, these serious injuries had mostly healed.
Using her hands to support herself on the bed, she slowly sat up and pulled back the covers, only to discover that aside from bandages, she was wearing no clothing at all.
This situation made her feel a chill run through her. She quickly checked herself over.
Finding no signs of violation allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief.
She looked around quickly and found her clothes on the table, all her belongings were in their original places, including the wooden box containing the Earrings.
The Earrings, which could unleash mysterious powers, were very precious to her until she figured out more about them.
As the weakness in her body gradually faded, she quickly got out of bed and put on her clothes.
The Cross Sword and short dagger had been completely destroyed in battle, so her only weapons now were two slender throwing knives.
The sensation in her chest, compared to before, could stimulate greater potential, but there was no substantial change.
"Indeed, I have only broken through the Knight's Pinnacle level..."
She clearly remembered the overwhelming power that had erupted from her body last time; even the Sea People's Knight's Pinnacle defense had been cleaved apart by her sword.
This kind of power had transcended human limits, and she vaguely felt that at that moment, she might have been at the Great Knight level.
However, it seemed that this power was not something that could be retained indefinitely; it was based on her own breakthrough of the Knight's Pinnacle, and this eruption appeared to come with significant aftereffects.
"From what I know so far, the Earrings can not only heal but also further stimulate one's potential... However, this is indeed a terrifying power."
Freya picked up the wooden box with some emotion and opened it; the ice-blue Earrings quietly lay inside.
The ice-blue diamond-shaped Earrings looked no different from those in an ordinary jewelry store, yet these seemingly ordinary Earrings could allow one to unleash inhuman strength in an instant.
"And why didn't Prilip use these Earrings on himself? Or can these Earrings only be used when one is gravely injured or near death?"
As she reflected, it seemed that just before her death, she heard the murmurs of a strange woman in her ear.
"Sraka... Soraka?" Freya unconsciously repeated the sound she had heard at that moment.
Suddenly, a familiar fragrance emanated from the Earrings, and a cold Blue Light gradually spread within the box, flowing like a gelatinous liquid.
"What is this..." Freya stared intently at the strange phenomenon of the Earrings, as the Blue Light quickly enveloped her entire body.
She even felt a vitality that did not belong to her slowly infusing into her body. In no time at all, her weakened body returned to its peak condition.
Even though it was the second time receiving such energy, it still left her with an inexplicable shock.
Soon, as her body recovered, the blue light rapidly faded until it completely disappeared.
"Ding!"
A crisp sound emerged from the Earrings.
"Hmm?"
Still enveloped by the enchanting power she had just experienced, Freya was suddenly startled and quickly picked up the Earrings. A clear crack appeared in the center of the Earrings.
"Could it be broken?" She furrowed her brow in speculation.
However, even if it wasn't broken, she didn't dare to utter the word that seemed to activate the Earrings.
With a somewhat complicated mood, she shook her head and did not put the Earrings back in the box; instead, she directly wore them on her left ear.
A slight sting, and a small amount of blood trickled from her earlobe.
The ice-blue Earrings swayed with a translucent glow, giving her already beautiful face a somewhat cold and solemn appearance, as if she had instantly shed the childishness of her age.
"Such a precious item is certainly safer to carry with me."
She casually tossed the box onto the table, tugged at the bandages on her body, which had completely healed, and now it was time to consider how to leave this place of troubles.
Based on the limited information available, Freya could easily guess what was happening behind the scenes in this seemingly peaceful city.
However, whether it was the Sea Tribe or humans, they had little to do with her; she only cared about a handful of people.
"Now that I have the strength of Knight's Pinnacle, I should be able to leave alone. But my father and others are also being held here, which complicates things," Freya pondered.
At that time, Damsdin and his group of four would surely have been severely injured even if they survived under the Sea Tribe's hands; they would definitely be a burden now.
After thinking for a while, Freya felt there was no good solution at the moment.
"It seems I can only find out their location first and then discuss it with my father!"
With a decision made in her heart, she walked directly toward the door.
The door was wide open, and two guards in Silver Armor stood by the entrance, one tall and one short.
As Freya approached, one of the guards immediately reached out to stop her, speaking coldly.
"Sister, without the Lord of the City's orders, you cannot leave this room!"
The guard's uncompromising tone made Freya frown slightly, and the calm energy she had previously smoothed out began to stir once again.
"I want to leave. Can you stop me?"
Her beautiful face, accentuated by the ice-blue Earrings, caused the guard's heart to momentarily freeze, as if touched by ice.
In an instant, a subtle flow of energy rose around her, bringing with it a dangerous aura.
Realizing that the girl before him was not someone to be trifled with, the guard softened his tone.
"Miss, we are just following orders. Even if you could defeat both of us, you probably wouldn't be able to leave the City Lord's Mansion unless you possess the strength of a Great Knight. Otherwise..."
