Chapter 75 - The Benevolent Tyrant
The second battle ended with... an almost ridiculous ease. Raze had torn through the enemy troops, flinging them off the island one by one, their bodies vanishing into the void below. It wasn’t even a slaughter. It was more like a cleanup.
The sight was both amusing and a bit frustrating for Atlas. While it was satisfying to watch Raze obliterate the opposition, the practical side of him couldn’t help but lament the loss of potential loot.
If those troops had been "defeated" on solid ground instead of tossed into the bottom, their shiny armor, especially the impressive obsidian set worn by the blazing drama king, Neron, could have been salvaged for his own troops.
Still, the results were undeniable:
[You have advanced to Seeker Division 2.]
[The current list of challengers has been cleared due to division mismatch.]
[Gacha Haven has entered the Reinforcement Phase. The fallback cooldown will last for 7 days.]
The battle brought significant changes, including the destruction of Neron’s island. The bonus rank points from the Lord’s death pushed Atlas further up the rankings, and his own island received an automatic size upgrade as a reward.
Even more surprising was the number of survivors who joined Atlas from the destroyed island, 35 people in total.
Atlas opened his status screen, taking a moment to analyze his stats after leveling up from the recent battle. With 20 available status points to allocate, he carefully weighed his options.
[Strength: 189 | Agility: 111 | Intelligence: 53 | Constitution: 98 | Stamina: 109]
His recent training had improved his Stamina, making his overall stats more balanced and refined than before. Intelligence was still his lowest stats, but they each served their own purpose.
