Kaiser of the New World (Ch 200+)

One shot (243)

Groaning as he stood up, Kai cast a glance back at the cave and saw... nothing.

Unlike the Veiled of the Dark Side, which had turned visible after its death, these beasts did not lose their invisibility after dying, they were still as hard to spot as they were before.

However, Kai could smell the bodies of them, each of them burning and smelling like a barbecue straight from hell.

Hissing in pain, Kai undone his fusion, letting his stats return to normal and the feeling of pain return as well.

His body wasn't that injured, just a little sore considering that he had been healing himself using Minor Restoration for a bit.

No, most of the pain was coming from his soul.

Kai inwardly cursed himself.

He had only just repaired his soul, yet he had already gone and injured it again. Plus, his Strength would be lowered for a while considering that he had to make use of Ignition during that fight.

So, while cursing himself, Kai had a look at the consequences of his actions.

Using Soul Sense, Kai braced himself and attempted to assess the damages.

Surprisingly, his soul wasn't actually in that bad of a condition. Sure there was a heap of cracks decorating it's body after forcing it to be used as a supercharger to blow himself up, but the cracks themselves weren't actually that bad. It would still take Kai a few hours to repair them though.

And the drawback of using Ignition wasn't bad either, it was just that his Strength was lowered a little for three hours, which wasn't long at all.

Of course, the only reason these drawbacks weren't detrimental was because of how low down the mountain they were. Kai had no doubt that the higher up they rose, the more harmful it would be to be weakened for any amount of time.

By now, Kai's suspicion about the mountain was more or less confirmed.

It acted like a tower game. The higher up he climbed, the harder it would get, the stronger the enemies would become, the more hazardous the environment would become. There would also be boss battles, like the one against the snake back in the underground chappel, which would challenge him even more, but for now they were relatively safe.

Kai shuddered to himself.

Never did he think that having to act as a bomb to kill a bunch of invisible monsters would be relatively safe, yet here he was.

Somehow still alive.

And better yet, while the mountain would get more dangerous and more treacherous to climb, Kai would be getting stronger.

And it was time to reap the boons of what he got for killing all of those beasts.

Level 62 reached

A whole six levels gained for killing a bunch of beasts that were a higher level than him. It didn't really seem like a lot in theory, but Kai had a feeling that, like items, XP was somehow affected by how hard a fight was.

Even though that was kind of dumb if it was true, it was still just a theory that was in his mind.

Skill selection obtained

Kai grinned slightly.

Another skill selection. He'd already had five since leaving the city, meaning this would be his sixth one.

He was gaining items, levels and fighting experience at a rapid pace. It was a good thing, but Kai felt that his pace was probably going to be forced to slow down a little soon.
