Chapter 723
Ava surpassed level 10,000 after killing the 3 other Demonic guards that were attacking us.
I send out a pulse of perception, watching four more nearby zones full of guards on duty coming our way; and even further out, transmissions from guard posts further up and around the mountain are being sent out, alerting every Demonic Beast within a 3000 kilometer radius that there are intruders in our exact zone.
"Rank up, I'll hold off the attackers while you're out. You're going to need the extra strength."
In my head, I think to myself that I need every bit of extra power I can get too. My wave of perception imbued with my full mana and divine energy still doesn't penetrate the True Guardian's status at the top of the mountain.
Killing a few more Demonic Beasts may limit me in time, but it seems like the best option I have to adapt to the pressure down here further.
Ava responds while the rock paths to our left and right begin to rumble lightly, as more troops from the neighboring surveillance zones start to come in.
"Alright. I trust you, protect me while I'm out."
I turn around, and we both lock eyes and nod while she sits on the cold ground and presses [Rank Up] in her status.
Her entire Avatar starts to glow with bright white light, but I turn my head away once the two groups of Cyclops and Orcs begin running at a far faster pace with their soul weapons raised.
