Chapter 515

ED:
The lightning breath, not a straight line but a radiating force, tore through the air. Leeha knew the only weakness of a dragons breath: avoid the initial direction of the blast. Dragons, of course, knew this too, but usually, spreading the breaths energy weakens its force.
But now?
Centered around Blaugrun, the breath formed a semi-circle, incinerating every approaching avian monster with sufficient power.
Leeha, attempting to peek, had to close his eyes again as his body emitted a bright light.
[Your level has increased.]
Level up with just one breath? Leeha was torn between joy and the urge to curse Alexander. How could he not top the rankings if a Juvenile Dragon could do this, let alone an Ancient Dragon!
That Blaugrun-ssi? Youre Juvenile-class, right? I thought the monsters were between levels 260 to 280-
[Hmm, seems I misjudged my strength. I could have used less power and still defeated them.]
Leeha was too stunned by the unbelievable scene to discern whether Blaugrun was boasting or speaking the truth. Blaugruns face, though draconic, showed a smug satisfaction that Leeha recognized. He nodded, finally regaining his focus.
We cant fall behind! Jellypong, switch to combat mode: Agility! And-
[Mongmongmong-!]
As Jellypong sprang from Leehas body, glowing red, Leeha activated another skill.
[Soul Link]!
With a roar, the fire bear Koma appeared, flames engulfing its body.
Gone were the days of wandering alone; each member of the Leeha Squad possessed top-tier combat abilities.
Leeha pulled the trigger, laughing heartily.
Kahaha, lets sweep them all! [Multi-shot]!
As his highest offensive skills were unleashed, Blaugrun in dragon form, fire bear Koma, and Jellypong, created by the Water Spirit King Elaim, began their rampage.
[Your level has increased.]
[Your level has increased.]
[Your level has increased.]
[Common Quest: When You Cut the Grass, Snakes Will Appear
Details: Verify the Source of Demons (3/7)]
It was about 7 hours later when the quest count increased by one.
The most surprised among the users was certainly Fernand.
Could it be Leeha-ssi? No, no way. Byulcho is on the Old Continent, and theres no one to gather the quest. Who among the others cleared a spot? Maybe it really was Leeha-ssi? No, it couldnt be. Even Alexander couldnt do it alone No, it cant be.
Despite his rational doubts, a lingering unease remained unquenched.
Fernangs enormous trust in Leeha paradoxically made him anxious.
Phew I cant even remember how many magazines Ive changed. Jellypong, you must be tired too. Thanks for your hard work.
[Mongmong Mongmongmong]
Exhausted, Leeha collapsed to the ground, gasping for air. Jellypong, too, with droopy eyes, slithered towards Leeha.
Even in its agile combat mode, which highly synergized with Leehas stats, Jellypong was evidently fatigued.
Even when factoring in the travel time, it would only consume about five real-world days at most. In Middle Earth, that equated to about 25 days, a manageable period considering the 150-day deadline.
From the start, the 150-day limit implied the difficulty and arduous nature of finding the World Tree. Thus, Leeha decided not to rush and instead gather information and move methodically.
After all, this wasnt all for nothing.
[Of course. Just seeing Jellypong and that bear in action was]
No, not that. I mean, as a result.
[Result?]
Hehe, character window!
Leeha smiled at Blaugrun and opened his character window. Was the battles gain solely about checking combat power? Of course not!

Just recently I was at 200, and now Ive almost reached 210.
[Indeed, your level has visibly increased.]
Do you notice that too?
[Obviously. Its all thanks to me.]
Blaugrun snorted arrogantly, but Leeha didnt have the energy to retort and simply allocated all his stat points to agility.
Ah, I should stop by Gaza City before leaving. Shall we go back?
At Leehas question, Blaugrun reverted to his human form. The flickering turquoise glow was as good as a nod. Leeha saved their current location in the modification sphere and teleported to Gaza City.
While handling administrative work for the city, Leeha briefly opened his friends window. Kijung had already logged out, and so had Shin Nara and Bobae.
It must be nighttime in reality. Theyve probably gone to sleep.
Then he checked Kidds location.
Erika New Continent The Barren Twilight Plains.
Leeha couldnt tell where it was but guessed it must be near a hunting ground.
Going to see the Matans Shooter, and hes in the same place called the Barren Twilight Plains? It was a peculiar place name, different from Leehas expectations.
More importantly, the plains? Why would an NPC or monster like the Matans Shooter be in such a place? Could it be resting there?
Hes not moving yet. Maybe hes leveling up first before proceeding
Leeha deeply pondered. Being a well-prepared player, Kidds approach would surely differ from Lugers. Knowing Lugers last location and heading to find the Matans Shooter, he wouldnt move immediately. Until Leeha prepared to logout for Hong Kong, he could only speculate so much.
Kidds location changed right after Leeha logged out.
