Chapter 237: Gateway (1/2)

”Pardon?”

Sigh!

Yman sighed upon hearing it for the second time.

”Thanks to my luck.”

He jokingly said while wearing a wry smile. No wonder the enemies keep on coming no matter how many he kills.

So it was about that excretion, huh. He thought.

Yman decided not to hold back. Using the 1-meter fortified branch as a weapon, he sped up on killing the enemies.

The enemies were just low-tier beasts. With these levels of creatures, he could not gain much combat experience. At most 1% only, it also varied in the length of time that he battled and the difficulty of his enemy.

So fighting in the Virtual Arena was better as he gained about 3-4% each match. Well, depending on his opponent. Whereas, in the Training Pavilion, he could gain 5-7% each stage.

Most of the time, he would check his Combat Experience every time he was relaxing.

He was tired of checking every time as it only disheartened him whenever he checked it. Even Sistela did not bother notifying him about the increase in his Combat Experience.

The first time he became a trainee, he was so apprehensive about it.

But after his contract with the demon, his stats increased to an unimaginable degree; however, in exchange, the already slow growth he had, had become more stagnant. It must be the exchange of gaining power in the wrong way. Even though he fought with tough opponents after coming to the empire, he didn't breakthrough quite well.

Regardless, as he could not waste more time, he killed as many opponents as he could.

Betty and the others doubted the explosion they'd heard. One of them suggested going for a quick scan.

As no more monsters were attacking them, Betty and the other two nodded their heads.

”Just don't go too far. The Senior Leader will be coming back soon,” said Betty.

”Watch out for the ambushes, Wis!” Said the other female member of their group

”Okay!”

He then summoned the flying stick and rode it towards where the explosion originated.

Just after flying a few meters away, he already saw many dead bodies of the monsters below. He was surprised because it wasn't far from the abandoned building.

He also saw some weird-looking black creatures. They were devouring the dead bodies?! He was surprised to figure out what it was doing. Well, that's how he sees it.

He ignored it as it wasn't his reason for coming. He needed to figure out what was happening.

It didn't take him long enough to see a human figure, leaping high in the air, then fired some spherical objects down below. Successive explosions followed after he fired them.

”A summoner?” Wis mumbled to himself upon seeing the person summoned a bird type mount and rode away.

He could not identify the person at his current distance as the miasma was hindering his vision.

Below, he saw more dead bodies and some weird flying creatures devouring them. It was the same scenario that happened at his rear. They soon sprinted towards the direction to where the figure of a person flew away.

Wis wondered if they were chasing to attack that person. In any case, it was as far as he could go.

Betty and the others questioned when he came back. He answered with what he saw in which made them crease their brows.
