Chapter 21: Back to the city
His eyes lit up when he realized he had leveled up five times.
"With the ones I leveled up before, I’m already at level 9. Good."
Even though he was bleeding from his sides and a little on his head, he got up once more. He gritted his teeth, pulled out the wooden stakes slightly piercing his flesh, and relaxed.
"It doesn’t hurt that much, thanks to my Vitality. I have to take advantage of this and keep hunting. I’m already close to the first milestone of the mission. After that, I can return to the city safely." He looked ahead and started walking.
Hopefully, he wouldn’t have to face an undead like that again. To avoid trouble, he made sure to pay attention to his surroundings.
As he was walking and facing undead creatures in the vicinity, he realized that thanks to his increased Mana, his Passive Energy had recovered a little, allowing him to fire a couple more shots, which made him feel safe.
Now, there was something else he noticed in the following hours.
After killing the last of the beasts he needed, he leveled up.
But what intrigued him was something he had been seeing for a while.
’What are these things, like fabrics? Am I in some kind of spider trap?’ he thought.
He could see, albeit very little, a strange fabric enveloping everything right now. Air, leaves, trees, and even the ground itself.
