You two are far stronger than Toby ever was. Yet all of you are Peak tier Weavers."
Carlotta offered a brief compliment.
Golden Lion was momentarily stunned, unsure whom Carlotta referred to.
Elisa immediately knew who Toby was, but had no intention of responding. Her current state was terrible, she felt as if she were on the verge of becoming a true puppet.
Puppet magic worked best when used on others, transforming them into controllable puppets. Using it on oneself greatly enhances combat strength, but the duration was severely limited. Prolonged use risky permanent transformation into a puppet, a deadly result.
Therefore, Elisa couldn't afford a prolonged fight. She needed to end this quickly.
But victory wasn't something that could be forced just because one desired it.
Carlotta clearly recognized Elisa's dilemma, so there was no need to overexert herself. Continuing the fight only benefits her.
