Chapter 5: Luring Goblins
Looking at the three goblins in front of him, Kai smiled as he honestly somehow still felt weird with how weak his current situation was.
Even though his current self was weak at the moment, coupled with the boost from the azure sword as well as his experience in combat, Kai was confident that it wouldn't be a problem for him to face any opponent below First Echelon.
Because the difference between (Unranked–level 24) and (First Echelon–level 25) was massive despite them being only 1 level apart from each other.
The reason for that was because after someone was upgraded to the next rank, their stats would be increased massively to the point that even a few people in the level 24 wouldn't be able to beat the weakest of the First Echelon.
Naturally, there would be exceptions, such as if they have extremely strong skills, high-level items, etc.
Needless to say, upgrading to the next rank itself wasn't as easy as leveling up to the next level because every time someone wanted to upgrade to the next rank, they were given a mission depending on the classes and options they chose.
And only if they completed the mission were they then being upgraded to the next rank.
Otherwise, they would be stuck in that rank and technically wouldn't be able to become stronger.
"Be careful!" The woman shouted when she saw the three goblins charge towards Kai, making him come back to his senses.
Kai exhaled calmly, his golden eyes narrowing slightly as he gripped the azure sword tightly. Without showing any signs of panic, he shifted his stance slightly and took a single step forward.
The sword swung gracefully in an effortless horizontal arc, slicing through the air without any excess movement. The sharp blade left behind a thin, shimmering blue trail.
