Chapter 53 - 95%
After checking their first chest, which gave them a few potions and metal bars, the duo of Kiona and Kael began to go from one place to another.
Their targets were the Piglins and Flame Elementals wandering around the Nether Fortress. They already had the full map of their locations, and considering the strength of Kael, it was pretty easy for them to dispatch those enemies.
Not to mention they also had the enchantment [Heart of the Sun], which gave them a boost because of the battle location.
But even with that, it took them a full two days to cover the entire Nether Fortress and clear it. After all, there were way too many monsters, and each battle left them exhausted.
Even if they could go on physically, they had to give their minds some rest. It was mostly because of Kiona, though, as she wasn’t used to prolonged battles—unlike Kael, who was accustomed to fights like no other.
The only good thing for them was that they didn’t need food so quickly; otherwise, they would’ve had to retreat, as they had hidden their supplies under Seth’s mane.
For two whole days, their routine became like a chore—going from one location to another to finish off targets and gather Soul Power.
To Kiona’s surprise, even when they had practically finished off every monster in the Nether Fortress, Kael had not ranked up. His Soul Core was like an unfathomable ocean that seemed to absorb everything thrown into it.
Kiona could swear that if she were given so many kills, she would’ve definitely ranked up. But that also made her believe that Kael was very high on the Evolution Tree.
