"Enraged Slash!

" Ryder used his strongest skill to attack the dragon.

nThe Dragon's skin was quite hard. If it was a normal weapon, he wouldn't even be able to cut through the skin of the dragon, but the Moon Scythe was a special weapon.

nIt had no problem cutting through the thick defenses of the dragon and dealing some damage.

nAlthough the damage was small, It was enough to kill the dragon. The dragon was already on its last breath, and the damage acted like the last nail on the coffin. The Dragon was killed instantly.

nMighty Grapin Dragon has been killed

nHe also got a notification of killing the Dragon. He waited to see how much experience he received after killing the Dragon. There was a wide grin on his face.

n 0 Exp

nThe notification came as a shock, and Ryder's face lost all its colors.

nHidden Restriction of Bracelet of Immortality activated

n(tap to expand)

nRyder tapped on the expansion icon with a blank look on his face to get more information.

nHidden Restriction of Bracelet of Immortality: Bracelet of Immortality is a heavenly item that hides the strength to destroy the heavens itself. It has been sealed and cursed by the gods. The Wearer can't grow stronger when taking the help of the beings of this world when fighting his prey

n

"Again, this cursed item! It's trying to screw me as much as possible, isn't it? It must be a brother of Janus if I'm not wrong,

" Ryder cursed as he glanced at the bracelet.

n Janus heard Ryder's words and replied to him.

nDevilia watched Ryder standing there and acting weirdly.

n

"Hey, What are you doing standing there? Did it work? Did you grow stronger?

" She asked in concern.

nRyder turned back and looked at her.

n

"No. I didn't grow stronger. I guess it doesn't work when someone else does the work for you. I'll need to defeat the beasts myself,

" Ryder informed her.

n

"Oh, It's fine. I'm sure you can do it. There's no need to look so upset,

" Devilia said with a smile on her face.

n

"Yeah. I don't need help to get stronger! Just stay back and let me do it on my own,

" Ryder said in a calm tone.

nHe realized that there was no benefit in sulking. He'll just do it the old fashioned way. He still had absorption. He was able to get way stronger than his actual level through killing.

n

"Anyways, Do you know anything about this?

" Ryder asked her as he raised his hand. He was trying to show her his bracelet.

n

"Your hand?

" She asked in confusion.

n

"No! The thing I'm wearing. The bracelet,

" Ryder asked her.

n

"Are you joking with me? There's no bracelet on your wrist,

" She said with an amused smile.

n

"I guess you can't see it then. It's a bracelet that has these patterns carved on it,

" Ryder said as he began drawing the patterns on the ground.

n

"Do you get anything now?

" he asked after he finished drawing.

n

"Yeah. I do know those patterns. They are from the ancient language of the gods. We do have a book in our library about the language, but we have only been able to understand a few words from it,

" She replied.

n

"As for them, they are the names of elements. That one is lightning. That's wind. There's fire, water, and Earth. I don't know the meaning of the other characters. Those 5 are the only words we were able to interpret from the book of the language of gods. So I don't know about the other words, but they might be something like those as well,

" She explained as she pointed towards the patterns on the ground.

n'Wind, Earth, Water, Fire, Lightning? And there are over 20 more characters like these. What the heck is this,' He thought with a frown on his face.

n'Janus, can you tell me about this? You seem to know about it quite a lot?' Ryder asked Janus.

n Janus replied.

nHis reply made Ryder even more confused.

n

"Whatever, I'll see the book myself when I go back. For now, it's time to grow stronger,

" He said as he threw this stuff to the back of his head.

nRyder spent the next few days in the forest, hunting beasts.

nEven though he was not allowed to take the help of Bulga and Devilia during the battle, he did take their help to find the Beasts. This way, he didn't have to spend hours looking for a beast.

nHis hunting went much faster, and he was able to kill tens of beasts in a day.

nHis levels kept advancing with time as he kept gaining experience and stats by hunting beasts.

nIt was the end of the 6th day, and he was already a level 19 player. He had killed more than a hundred beasts in the last 5 days and gained tons of stat points due to Absorption. He had also gained a few good skills, but not many, as the chances of getting a skill were too low.

nAlright, he was a level 19 player; with the stat points, he was sure that he could match a level 22-23 beast.

nAt the moment, he was fighting a level 23 beast, and he was sure that he would get to level 20 after killing it.

nAfter a battle that took him only 20 minutes, he managed to kill the beast.

nWhite Demonic Lion Killed

n 40000 exp

nAbsorption activated

n 20 Intelligence

n

"Nice. Finally, I got to level 20. It would have been impossible without your help. Thank you,

" He said as he looked at Devilia that was standing nearby.

n

"That's fine. Anyway, it's about time for us to leave this place. We need to get to the Royal Palace. Those old guys will be quite mad if we are late,

" She reminded him.

n

"Alright. Just wait a minute,

" Ryder told her. He wanted to check his stats once before leaving. Since the grinding started, he hadn't checked his status even once.

nHe opened the status window.
