Prestige Grinding : I Can Reset My Level

Salim, who was waiting for his turn to fight, turned to Morgan and asked, "How did Ralph achieve such a victory when the opponent seemed to have reached the limit in body level as well?"

Morgan, who had already won his first fight, explained, "Reaching the maximum level in body level is merely the first step toward becoming a powerhouse. Ralph combines his superior elemental control with his physical strength to achieve bursts of power far beyond the limit. You could also follow Kara's example—she uses extremely strong skills to surpass the limits."

Clémence, who had been listening nearby, chimed in, "What seems to be capped are the body, energy, and mental levels. But what you can do with a set amount of force depends entirely on your mastery of your power. Ralph seems to be a master at controlling his energy and elements. On top of that, some skills, like supreme skills, naturally overpower lower-rated skills in a direct clash."

Morgan nodded and added, "His mental attack is also quite unique. I've never seen such a domineering mental power. It's so brutal I trembled despite not being the target on the 12th floor."

Just as Salim was about to respond, Ralph appeared in the middle of the stands and took his seat beside Kara. 'It's not that brutal, don't exaggerate,' he thought, embarrassed by the conversation he had overheard.

'I know by now. No matter how strong I get, I will eventually find someone who'll destroy me in seconds after a period of time,' he thought, recalling the sting of his ego being crushed whenever he felt he was above his peers.

'I want to destroy Rachel once and for all, find Alius, and reach level 180 after leaving this cursed Tower. Then I'll take vacations with Kara.' He kept his goals firmly in sight.

As another fight concluded, Salim stood up and made his way toward the arena. The moment he stepped into the battlefield, a sudden change in his demeanor caught everyone's attention.

His posture straightened, his head held high as an intense aura began to radiate from him. His usual easygoing and energetic temperament transformed into something commanding and powerful. Salim's charisma soared, pulling attention like a force of nature.

"What's this? I always thought this guy had a weak presence. It feels like he's an entirely different person," Morgan commented, his brows furrowing in curiosity.

Even Kara, who rarely reacted during fights, raised an eyebrow. "I didn't know Salim could be so badass."

Sora smiled at their reactions, knowing that Salim, despite not being the strongest player present, was a trickster, hiding his real identity—just like him.

Scanning his opponent, Sora quickly noticed an issue. 'This isn't looking good.'

Marduk, the player standing opposite Salim, was a powerhouse from the Dwarf Kingdom. It was clear to Sora that Salim's chances of victory were slim.

As Sora feared, Marduk demonstrated an incredibly powerful command over the [Earth Element], effortlessly dominating the battlefield. His control over the element seemed impossible to counter. Sora's eyes narrowed as he observed closely, piecing it together. 'He's using a supreme skill.'

Sora sighed when the inevitable happened—Salim was eliminated. Still, his progress had been impressive. Sora sent him a message of encouragement.
