Chapter 20：Raiger, the Horned Gorilla

Soon, they crossed level 55 zone in five minutes while Williard leveled up 2 times. After reaching level 60, the normal monsters' HP increased to 40K, which was still killed by Remia in two seconds and Williard started getting free EXP of his 50% share along with a 20% passive bonus, 6123, 6243, 6563, 5921, etc...

He leveled up to 43 from 42 quickly just within 30 seconds and ten more minutes later, they crossed level 60 and level 65 zones and entered level 70 zone that was full of narrow passages, complex routes in mountains. Meanwhile, the Assassin from the Imperial guild stopped following them as he was discovered by a level 68 monster and got killed by a bunch of them. Then, he messaged White Tiger, "Guild Leader, they've entered level 70 zone. I was killed by monsters."

White Tiger, the leader of the number one guild in East Ocean City, frowned after hearing about the information and thought, "no, he definitely wasn't a baron. You can level up all day but if I have a level 115 Guard as NPC, the first thing I would do is to seek out my enemy and kill them. Maybe he will do it later.

No, it's a level 115. To employ such high-level NPC, one has to be at least 65 or hr might be a Viscount, that's, of course, is impossible. Since, he was only a normal lucky member, who increased his level with Flame Emperor's help; I doubt he can get that much fame.

After all, even if he has completed the quest, he would only get 1000 fame points and there aren't any other quests that give us fame. There's a high chance that it's a quest. Well, we can just interrogate him later about it." Then, he sent a message, "Ok, forget about him, and be on your way." Reading it, the level 54 assassin gritted his teeth in frustration, "I've wasted 50% of my EXP for nothing. Damn you, Time Traveler."

Meanwhile, a level up notification rang in Williard's ears, along with a receiving few other notifications, making him let out a laugh in excitement.

"Congratulations, you leveled up. You reached level 50."

"Congratulations, you gained a skill point."

"Congratulations, you gained a new skill. Please check the skill panel for details."

"Attribute restrictions increased from 100 to 200"

Williard then thought for a while on how to spend his 9 available skill points, in which three skill points he gained recently, two from level-ups and one from receiving a new skill. "Damn, what should I do? This skill is too tempting that I want to max it as soon as possible."

Skills:

Golem (level 1): Summon an earth Golem using elemental magic. It has two modes.

Attack mode: Attack your enemies with a 200% attack and provide an Attack buff, which increases you and your allies attack by 10%.

Defense mode: Defend you from your enemies by blocking the enemy attacks. Increases its defense and HP by 200% and provide a defense buff, which increases you and your allies, HP and Defense by 10%.

Costs 20 MP per minute; 30 meters range. Cooldown: 15 minutes

Available skill points: 9

"But then again, from now onwards, I'll only gain a single skill point for every ten levels and after level 100, everyone will gain one skill point for every 20 levels. Let's just put it away for now. I already wasted three skill points on Freeze skill. Let's reserve them for advanced skills and just keep on using it. After all, I have more than 100 hours of freeloading. I might as well use this time to level this up."

Two hours later, in the level 70 zone, an Earth Golem, that's twice the size of human fighting alongside Remia who was holding down the Horned Giant Gorilla while Williard was maintaining a safe distance after setting the monster as a target for the Earth Golem and observing the battle.

Raiger, the Horned Gorilla (Heroic)

Level: 74

HP: 73,475/7,000,000

As soon as its HP was dropped by another 15K, purple aura began to emit from the boss and Williard received a notification.

"Raiger is in the final berserk state. 300% attack increased."

Immediately, it stomped both Remia and Golem with its hands. As Golem immediately died since it only has same HP as Williard in attack mode, Remia blocked it easily with her shield as she activated the level 70 Skill, Invincibility, which makes her invincible for 10 seconds and slashed it with her sword five to six times continuously, after Williard paralyzed the boss with Absolute freeze skill.

"Raiger, the Horned Gorilla died. You gained 1,084,231 EXP."

Then, followed by it, continuous level-up notifications rang in his ears for 4 times. Meanwhile, Remia also leveled up once finally.

Looking at the EXP, Williard thought, "I should have disbanded the party at the last minute and should've been the one to land the final hit. Then, I would have gotten more than 3M EXP at once. Damn. The Wild bosses cooldown is 24 hours and there is only one per 10 levels. Should I turn back to level 60 zone and look for the boss? Hmm, Nah, even though I leveled up 6 times, I also wasted an hour on it. Forget it. I should look for the drops, first."

After reaching the pile of items dropped by the boss, he started searching for shining items, first. Then, with a smile, he inspected the equipment, which is glowing brightly.

Raiger's Necklace

HP: 13.4%

After keeping them in the inventory, he began to throw the entire HP and mana potions, the enhancement scrolls, five Bronze grade, and two Silver grade equipment in the inventory along with the pouch containing 73 silver. Then, he threw aside all the common and Iron grade equipment, which were just a waste of space. Finally, after clearing out everything, he saw a Skill book that was hidden at the bottom of the pile and inspected it after picking it up.

Roar

Description: Roar like a gorilla and increase you and your allies' abilities.

Effects: Increase you and your allies' attack and defense by 50% for 10 minutes (maximum level). It can be stacked with other similar effects. Cooldown time: 60 minutes.

Class: Anyone.

"What a long cool down. And I should roar like a gorilla to perform it? No thanks. Should I just throw it in the Auction or give it to Rock Fist? He's an excellent Guardian. Hmm, how about giving it to Remia? Hmm, Nah, even though it increases the hunt for a short time, she would still leave after a week, right? What if someone employs her and use it against me in the future?" After thinking for a while, Williard just threw it into his inventory and proceeded towards level 75 zone.

Just like the rest of the leveling zones, Remia was just massacring the level 75-80 mobs, killing each of them every 15 seconds in just 4-5 slashes while Williard was receiving EXP like 9334, 9286, 9335, 9324, etc…

Thirty minutes later, once again, a level up notification rang in Williard's ears.

"Congratulations, you leveled up. You reached level 57."

As he wondered, "at this rate, I might level up to 100 in just one day," both of them heard a loud roar of a tiger nearby. Williard frowned, "someone is battling at this zone? It must be those father and daughter pair. Only they have the guts to level up here." Then, he spoke, "Remia, let's go and see where the noise is coming from." As they reached the place they saw a Giant pure White tiger is battling against the duo he expected. He was shocked when he inspected the monster, "how is this possible?"

Kaiser, the Royal White Tiger (Mutated Elite)

Level: 89

HP: 8,564,794/ 9,000,000

"How did a mutated monster came now? Wasn't this supposed to arrive after the first update? Is it a bug? No way. The game was run and controlled by Aria, the world's most powerful supercomputer. There's no chance of things like that. Is something changed in this life because I snatched a legend class or had it also happened even back then? or maybe it's a preview? I heard that sometimes Aria gives out a preview for the next update for fun. I hope that was the case."
