Since the introduction of the level system, all yers gained ess to a [Personal Information] interface.
For the vast majority of yers, the quickest way to level up was through the relentless ughter of exotic beasts. By this logic, given the "achievements" from the past two cataclysms, Irving''s level would far surpass 99.9% of the yers.
After all, when most yers were still figuring out how to barely survive the cataclysms, Irving was nning how to assemble his own army of exotic beasts.
This was a form of overwhelming dominance stemming from a superior mindset. This is an unbeatable superior force.
However, certain specific sses have their own independent leveling systems, and simply killing exotic beasts is not enough to level up.
The Necromancer was one such ss!
With a slight mentalmand, Irving reopened his [Personal Information] interface...
[Irving]
[ss: Necromancer]
[Novice Stage, Lv: 6 (90/120) ]
[Talent: Tenfold Drop Rate]
[Equipment: Evil Source Wand (Legendary, Five-Star), Ice Crystal Heart Robe(Rare, Three-Star), Frost Step Light Cloud Boots (Rare, Three-Star) ]
[Hidden Identity: Public Enemy No. 1! ]
[yer''s enved exotic beasts disy: Stone Golem Giants*11, Snow Shadow Headed Wolf*1, Snow Shadow Wolf*7, Gale Demon Wolf*14, Butcher*23, Pigman*34... ]
Irving''s gaze fell on thest line, the disy bar for the number of enved exotic beasts, and his smile grew even wider.
The number of exotic beasts in his legion had now expanded to a full ny!
Apart from the eight Stone Golem Giants serving as bor" in the turbine generator, the number of exotic beasts avable for immediate battle was eighty-two, almostparable to a small-scale beast tide.
"No wonder my level remained at just three despite having killed so many exotic beasts during the previous cataclysms." Irving said with a bitter smile, his attention returning to the level bar. "It turns out that for the Necromancer ss, leveling up requires enving exotic beasts..."
[Novice Stage, Lv: 6 (90/120)]
The numbers in parentheses resembled an experience bar, with the first number representing the quantity of enved exotic beasts and the second indicating the required amount for the next level-up.
"Irving, you still haven''t told us what''s going on." Vicky said, looking rather perplexed at the smile on Irving''s face.
"Alright, I''m indeed at level 6 now. As for the reason..." Irving paused before continuing, "My leveling method is just different from yours."
"Different?"
Vicky and Sophia were stunned. Just as they were about to press for more details, Irving, apanied by his horde of exotic beasts, marched into the shelter.
If anyone could see the inside of the shelter at that moment, they would be utterly astonished. Under the ring lights, nearly a hundred ferocious exotic beasts stood neatly in front of Irving. They seemed like soldiers waiting for orders, while Little ck walked with a swaying gait through the ranks, as if inspecting its underlings.
Seeing Little ck''s amusing demeanor, Irving couldn''t help but chuckle to himself.
Due to the limited time, he could only "recruit" these low-tier exotic beasts nearby. Nevertheless, the numbers were substantial enough to alleviate much of the burden whenunching an attack against The Brotherhood of Night des.
"Move out!"
Irvingmanded with a raised arm. The exotic beasts, as if receiving a direct order, roared deafeningly in unison.
This was his first time leading an exotic beast legion into battle...
Meanwhile...
James had already arrived at the designated location with the yers recruited by the guild. Gazing into the distance, he could see a towering castle.
His expression wasplex, as he knew that the castle was the stronghold of The Brotherhood of Night des.
"James, when do we start the operation?" a yer asked eagerly.
No one could have imagined that there were over two hundred yers gathering in the forest. Fortunately, it was now dusk, and the night was effectively concealing their presence. All eyes were on James.
"Wait a little longer, just a bit longer..." James said in a low voice. "There''s still a very important person yet to arrive."
Most of the yers in the guild were new recruits, and upon hearing this, they began to whisper among themselves.
"Is it really necessary to wait for one person?"
"Yeah, we have over two hundred people here. We could take down that castle in no time. We don''t really need him."
The new yers started to grumble, but theirints were quickly silenced by the veteran members of the guild.
The veterans still vividly remembered the battle at the mine.
"If anyone dares to speak ill of him again, I''ll be the first to deal with them."
"Once you see that man''s strength for yourselves, you won''t say such things..."
Time was slipping away bit by bit. Hiding in the bushes, everything was quiet. Everyone was waiting silently, each with a sense of anticipation in their hearts.
It was already past the agreed time, and James''s brows were furrowed with growing anxiety.
Just then, the ground began to tremble slightly.
At first, the group was puzzled, but as they looked in the direction of the sound, their expressions turned grim. Emerging from the night were enormous figures steadily approaching.
"Is that..." One sharp-eyed yer eximed in horror, "It looks like a group of exotic beasts ising our way."
More than just him, the other yers also felt a strong sense of oppression. However, having survived two waves of disasters, their mental resilience had strengthened. They drew their weapons, preparing for battle.
"Why would arge group of exotic beasts suddenly appear? The second wave of disasters is over..." James sensed something was amiss.
Generally, suchrge groups of exotic beasts would only guard areas like mines or treasure troves, while they were surrounded by mere bushes.
As the ground''s trembling intensified, everyone''s nerves grew taut.
"Never mind where they came from; they''re definitelying for us in this direction. If we don''t deal with them, we''re just waiting to die here." one of the yers roared, red veins appearing in his eyes.
"Charge, brothers!"
With that battle cry, a dozen yers, all warriors skilled in closebat, were the first to charge forward.
The rest of the guild members also mustered their courage and followed suit.
However, just then, James, who was standing at the back, suddenly recognized a familiar face among the advancing beasts. His expression shifted from solemn to puzzled, and then to shock.
"Wait!" James shouted to the charging yers. "Stop! Don''t attack! They''re our own!"
Our own?!
The bloodthirsty yers froze upon hearing these words.
"What did James just say? He told us not to attack, our own?"
"Did I hear that wrong? That''s a group of exotic beasts, not our own people." the crowd murmured among themselves.
In just the brief moment of confusion, the distance between the exotic beasts and the yers had decreased even further. When the yers looked up again, they noticed something unusual.
Leading the group of exotic beasts were three figures: one man and two women.
At that moment, it was as if they had witnessed something unbelievable. The crowd erupted in astonishment.
"How is this possible? Why aren''t those exotic beasts attacking them?"
"Yeah, am I dreaming?" One particrly dazed yer even pped himself in the face.
By this time, the group of exotic beasts had arrived right in front of them. The young man in the lead raised his hand slightly, as if giving amand.
Immediately, the entire group of exotic beasts halted and stood uniformly in ce.
"Irving, you''re finally here. We''ve been waiting for you for a long time." James hurriedly ran over. He first nced at Irving, then his eyes fell on the group of exotic beasts. He eximed incredulously, "Irving, these exotic beasts..."
"Don''t worry, they won''t attack you without mymand." Irving replied with a calm smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene became deathly still. Even James stood there as if petrified, unable to utter a single word.
Everyone''s eyes were fixed on Irving. From the conversation, they realized that this young man was indeed the one they had been waiting for.
Although the veteran yers in the guild had already warned that Irving was incredibly powerful, they had never imagined in their wildest dreams that he couldmand a group of exotic beasts to escort him here.
The sight before them shattered their understanding of the game!
Even the veteran yers were inwardly boiling with excitement. Although they had witnessed Irving''s use of the [FireBall] spell at the minest time, they had never seen these exotic beasts.
"They are members of my exotic beast legion." Irving exined.
Exotic beast legion?!
The crowd was once again stunned. This scene left everyone speechless, realizing that they were facing an existence beyond conventional cognition.
Seeing the expressions of the yers around him, Irving shook his head with a wry smile. Then, his gaze shifted to the towering castle not far away, a cold glint shing in his eyes. "Alright, now that everyone is here, let''s begin the operation as nned!"
