Chapter 58: Harder.
For a second, Mark considered using all the AP he had to raise his level as many times as possible, but he dropped the idea right away. Raising his level again before getting the proper training first was tantamount to suicide. Moreover, he didn’t want to experience that pain so soon after recovering from it.
In the end, he had to look somewhere else for a solution, and as he did, he just so happened to remember the insane plan he came up with the other day.
’Would it even work?’
The hooded woman wasn’t a crazed beast looking for blood; she would sense it the moment he tried to do anything, and with her having seen him use the potions, she was now aware that he had items to consume.
In order for it to work, he would have to distract her first, make her forget all about the items he took out before as well as the chances of him doing the same again. The idea of using his Force Field occurred to him just then.
