Chapter 210: The Heart That Hungers
A familiar chime echoed in my mind.
[Level Up!]
[Level 85 → Level 87]
I felt my stats surge again, power flooding through every nerve and muscle.
Without sparing the corpses another glance, I moved quickly. I stripped them of anything useful, taking both storage rings and dumping their contents into one. I slipped it onto my finger without checking what was inside in detail.
Even their clothes weren't spared. I changed into Leon's outfit, making sure it fit well enough to pass at a glance. Then I set the bodies ablaze, reducing them to ash. No evidence. No trail.
Once everything was handled, I turned toward the mountain range and moved.
If I wanted real information—something useful—I'd need someone important. Someone with enough authority to actually matter. That meant targeting a high-level operative… someone on the far end of the Master rank.
But I wasn't reckless. At this moment, I wasn't ready to face someone over Level 150. That was another threshold—those who crossed it had to have grasped at least a minor law. That kind of comprehension created a gap that wasn't easy to bridge.
Still, I moved swiftly. My legs barely kissed the earth as I zigzagged through the dense forest, weaving through trees and uneven terrain with precision. My perception remained fully extended, stretched as far as it could go.
I wasn't going to miss another Holt patrol. If they were here, I'd find them.
