Cassius couldn’t help but feel excited; in the system of 《Erezaghe》, leveling up was actually quite difficult.
For most Professionals, every four levels marked a transformation, allowing for a substantial power boost, practically a minor leap in the early game.

Challeing: 11 (7,600 XP)
Assessment: “A red dragon sorcerer with a rare talent who tirelessly pursues power—how terrifying. Typically, dragon sorcerers are driven by a desire surpassing eveh and power. They strive to master both their inner power and that which stirs within them, seeking out mysterious, perilous knowledge and firsthand experiences with the untouched.”
“When a Challeing exceeds level ten, they gain a ule.”
“So, I’m already a minor boss,” Cassius thought to himself.
Power must tio grow.
In legends, Cassius of a previous life signed a tract with a demon, encased in heavy red-bck armor, with eyes bzing with vengeful fire from the Abyss.
In a mere ten years, his Challeing even broke past level 20, being an indisputable world boss, pyer’s bane, and a nightmare for novices, leaving tless Professional pyers defeated under his cws.
Yet, the current Cassius, while seemingly much stronger, was still far from that level of power.
“Where exactly is the rumored ‘Demon of the Mountains’?”
“In the depths of the Anstica Mountains?”
“Or in the northern Carba Mountains?”
Cassius didn’t know, but he wasn’t ready to look yet.
He knew he wasn’t strong enough, and as a seasoned pyer, he uood the nature of Abyssal demons all too well.
From Version 1.0 to Version 4.0, from the Aa Demon Tide to the Dark Moon Cataclysm, practically every mai involved an Abyssal demon invasion.
They were pure chaotic evil, devoid of morality and utterly uable. They were dedicated to destru, and in some schors’ ats, the chaotisciousness of the multiverse itself.
One moment, it might drink with you, and the , it would turn you into minced meat as an appetizer. pared to demons, even devils from Hell seemed cordial.
He deduced that the Cassius of a past life must have paid an unimaginable price.
“But eventually, I’ll go and take a look.”
“Even if it’s truly a demon, I’ll tear a piece of flesh off it.” Cassius muttered to himself.
With that, he took off from the cliff.
The manticore’s tio burn, the fmes gradually dwindling, leaving the massive charred.
Mixed within were piles of scorched remains, nearly indistinguishable as either the manticores’ or the unfortunate victims'.
