Chapter 165: Leveling up
Boa nodded, and the group made their way toward the outskirts of Reidan City. The desolate roads showed clear signs of decline—broken stone paths, abandoned buildings, and merchants wary of traveling due to the constant threat of giant worms and vampires.
As they reached the outer limits, Dave scanned the surroundings. "We need a place where monsters are strong enough to give me quick level-ups but not too overwhelming at my current state."
Boa thought for a moment before suggesting, "The outskirts of the Huben River. While the vampires control most of the water supply, the area around it is filled with lower-ranked blood thralls and giant worm hatchlings. They should be manageable for now."
Dave smirked. "Sounds perfect. Let's get started."
They moved swiftly, avoiding any unnecessary trouble within the city. Soon, they reached a barren land near the river, where eerie silence loomed.
Then, the ground trembled.

Boa stepped back slightly. "Even the hatchlings are level 135? This place really is dangerous."
Dave cracked his neck, gripping his sword tightly. "Good. That just means I'll level up even faster."
Without hesitation, he dashed forward, activating his newly acquired skills. His sword gleamed as he swung it down.
[ Flame Burst Ripple Slash! ]
