Chapter 19: Dangerous situation (1)
"The number of beasts required for a point gain increased again."
Elliot killed the last beast of a massive wave he had fought through in the dungeon's long corridor. He stood at a fork in the path, catching his breath.
So far, he has killed more than 60 beasts. After killing the first 25 beasts, the number of kills required to earn a single stat point increased—7 beasts for each point. Thankfully, this stopped when he reached 60 beasts killed.
In just a few hours, he had collected 10 stat points. Yet, the dungeon wasn't fully cleared. In fact, he was barely past the halfway mark.
'Although it is getting more difficult to receive points, I am still faster than the rest of the awakened. Even if I don't know the exact number of kills they require to go up one point, I am certain that none of them could rack up 10 stat points just by killing 60 little goblins.'
Even John Clark—someone who was hailed as a prodigy in the city for awakening at 14—barely had 25 to 30 points in his two main stats. And for him to achieve that mark, it had taken him four years.
Elliot was progressing far better than he expected. Still, he knew that he couldn't get full of himself since there was still a long way before him. His goal wasn't just survival—it was to destroy the Clark family.
A family that had been rooted in Loen City for years. A family who had a man who seemed to have some beef with Elliot and the one who wanted to kill him with his very own hands.
Tyler Clark.
The man who was known as the most powerful person in Loen City, even though he no longer lived there.
Elliot stared into the distance along one of the two paths before him.
