Chapter 21 – The Importance of Level
Hiiro has almost spent all of his MP in that encounter. However, it seems to be worth the effort. This S rank monster seems to have given enough experience to increase his level by 4.
It seems like Hiiro's hp has been reduced by a considerable amount. Only one light hit has reduced Hiiro's hp by over half of it's original amount.
Some new titles and skills have been added to Hiiro's status. Hiiro quickly opens a skill called 《Multiple Chain》.
《Multiple Chain》50 mp consumption
You can write more than one character. Writing another character while another character is active will not stop the first character's effects. Also, you can write the same character continuously which produces a synergistic effect.
Hiiro smiles deviously. He realizes that he no longer has to wait 40 seconds before starting to write another character.
Writing a character continuously has many benefits. This skill would have been helpful when Hiiro had to pass through the checkpoint. Hiiro could have continuously written "fly" without alternating between "fly" and "floating."
This synergistic effect however...
"Did you see your status?"
Arnold's voice woke up Hiiro from his thoughts.
"So Hiiro, how many times did you level?"
"You leveled?"
"No, I didn't. I'm just curious."
"You are? Do you want to know how much experience the killing blow gave?"
"I just want to see how much experience being in a party that killed a S rank monster can give me."
I see. You can register a party with the guild. If you fight a monster with a party member both gain the same amount of experience. However, I and Arnold obtained different amounts of experience since we weren't in a party together.
"Oh, we could have registered as a party in Surge if you wanted to Hiiro"
"Me and uncle are in a party together!"
"Hey Hiiro what level are you?"
"Old man tell me what level you are first"
"Do I have to? I'm 35."
"Crap!"
" ... Me? Wait what did you say?"
"..."
"So what level are you?"
I was a bit angry that my level is still slightly lower than Arnold's.
"By the way, Muir is only level 13."
"Yup!"
"So what level are you?"
"... 33"
"That's amazing! But wait was that your level before or after you beat the S rank monster."
