Scarlet

I wipe the sweat from my brow as I walk through the streets of the city that was made into a temporary base out on the frontlines after we recovered it from the demons and freed the humans in it. Then I blink, realizing that I have Clean and instead use that.

You must be tired if youre forgetting Clean, Tar points out, and I just nod my head in response.

Well, Ive been trying to get to Class V as quickly as I possibly can over the past month, even if thats only left me at level eight hundred and fifty. Much lower than I was hoping for.

I mean, it makes sense considering that most of the demons youre killing arent even Class IV, and the ones that are? Theyre only levels five hundred and one through seven hundred for the most part, Tar says, making me numbly nod my head again.

At this point the only reason Im still gaining EXP is because of the whole tenth of a level thing that I get after killing a certain number of beings.

And inching up to a thousand through that alone isnt helping me much.

I tried taking on a Noble over the past month but lost spectacularly despite Apex Predator and all of my other skills. So I wont be trying that again until Im at the cusp of breaking through to Tier V myself.

Allen gave you a real scolding for that one, Tar says with a chuckle. Amelia as well. And pretty much everyone else you know.

Yeah, yeah, everyone was mad. But I had to try it.

And Ill be trying it again when I reach level 1000.

Hmm, yeah, I think you should be able to handle a Noble at that level as long as the Noble is only level 1001, Tar says after a short pause to think about it.

I glance at my shoulder with surprise visible on my tired face as I walk.

Not really.

As I walk, I glance at my status to find all of the improvements Ive made over the past month of demon slaughter.

Everything is really shaping up to look quite nice.

Although Im still annoyed that I havent gotten another inherent skill for who knows how long.

Just when am I going to get my next inherent skill? The last time I got one was over a hundred levels ago, and the last time before that two hundred and fifty levels before it.

Youll probably get one at level one thousand, Tar says, giving me an answer I really didnt want to hear. Hey, its either get really good and powerful legendary inherent skills once every blue moon, or get a bunch of low rarity run-of-the-mill skills every couple dozen levels. Id rather have the legendary ones.

I mean, you have a point. But still. Its annoying.

My thoughts come to a halt when I enter the hallway that Emily and them are walking down, making me smile at the sight of their faces. Faces that look pleasantly surprised to see me.

Now this is a reunion thats been long in the making.
