I exhaled slowly, forcing my breathing to steady despite the chaos erupting around me.
My eyes found Scarlet and pulled up my debug vision and focused on her.
Level 29.
She'd leveled up too.
But even at 29, she wasn't strong enough to take the Alpha.
The level gap was too wide.
I focused my debug abilities on her, reaching out with my mana to modify her stats temporarily.
[Target: Scarlet]
[Modify Physical Parameters]
[STR: +15%]
[AGI: +15%]
[Duration: 30 minutes]
The change rippled through her immediately.
She glanced back at me for a split second, confusion flickering across her blood-splattered face, then her eyes widened with understanding.
She felt the difference.
And she used it.
Scarlet became a storm, tearing through the remaining beasts with renewed ferocity. A boar tried to charge her. She caught it mid-rush, claws sinking into its skull, and crushed it with her bare hands.
Good.
Which left me free to focus on the real problem.
