DING!
(You have killed a Level 8 Lamia General!)
(You gain 90 EXP. You advance to Level 9. You get 90 Points that you can use to raise your stats, which you are free to choose.)
DING!
(Because you managed to kill a Level 8 Monster General with the spiritual and physical power types by yourself with your level 8, you gain 3 Points for Physique, Strength, Speed, Intelligence, Will, and Mana!)
'Only 3 Points!' Oliver almost coughed when he saw the last notice.
Fortunately, there were six attributes that got the bonus.
Perhaps if it was only three attributes, each attribute would safely get 6 Points, which of course was still very little.
Apparently, that General Lamia had two skills at once.
Unfortunately, he couldn't show his skill in the spiritual field because he died early.
Of course, Oliver resurrected his shadow figure to become his subordinate.
It instantly joined the fight to help Kim Hana.
The others also became stronger because of his one-level ascension.
That was what made him feel good. He had at least managed to level up.
Quickly, he began to distribute the points he got from his level up.
DING!

"Zonk again!"
When Oliver looked at the corpse of that General Lamia, he found no ball of light. In other words, it hadn't dropped an item.
Of course, he was a bit annoyed, especially now where he was hoping to get one weapon with a higher level.
After that, his eyes fell on Kim Hana.
Assisted by the shadow army, all she needed to do was simply kill the monsters that had been dropped by the shadow army.
Without a doubt, there was no easier leveling than that.
Fortunately, she wasn't that disappointing. With her sword, she stabbed monster after monster in a violent manner to ensure their death.
She did that without using any skills at all, perhaps she wanted to save energy so that she could level longer.
Oliver watched in silence while occasionally glancing left and right.
All the monsters were below his level and there were no other generals. Of course, he was somewhat disappointed that he was practically unable to raise his level.
At this point, he began to think about looking for the Monster Boss, the Primordial Sky Wolf.
"Ohh..." Suddenly he saw one of the monsters killed by Kim Hana let out a ball of light.
Kim Hana stopped fighting when she saw that, quickly putting her hand into it.
After that she pulled it out and what appeared surprised even Oliver.
It was a very dark black sword, it had a standard design but looked so sharp that just by looking at it, Oliver felt like his eyes were being pierced.
Since he had only seen without touching it, so he couldn't tell its level.
However, without a doubt, it was a very powerful sword.
Even Alex's spear wasn't that strong.
Since he was hoping to get a powerful weapon, seeing Kim Hana get such a weapon from a weak monster, he couldn't help but feel disturbed, wondering if there was something wrong with this civilization test.
"This is a Class A Sword, do you want it?" asked Kim Hana after a moment of observing the sword.
Class A, it was even more powerful than the earring in his ear.
Actually, now he suspected that swords and artifacts indicated their original class, unlike manipulated skills, so the Class A Sword was most likely really Class A, not the Class B that Class A was written as.
That Kim Hana offered him the sword was completely unexpected.
However, taking something he got was too embarrassing for him as a man.
"No need, it should suit you," he replied.
Just for a moment hearing his answer, Kim Hana suddenly nodded then moved again to kill the monster.
She apparently didn't try to offer him again or say anything because he refused.
This meant that she had wanted the sword for herself from the start.
That might be natural, but her offering it was nothing more than a formality to appear polite.
Oliver shook his head.
He then looked at his cell phone as he received an incoming message.
No, it wasn't a message, it was an announcement from the Vera City Government to everyone who was registered as a city resident.
(To everyone in Vera and its surroundings, please be careful. The monster boss, the Primordial Sky Wolf is roaming around and is likely to enter. Currently, its level has reached Level 12 and there is no way for us to kill and stop it. All the weapons on earth have been confirmed to be inoperative against it.)
'It seems that the government is very worried,' Oliver thought after he read the announcement.
'They've probably already tried to fight the wolf directly, and the results were so bad for them that they made such an announcement. They could practically only ask the public to be careful on their own.'
Oliver then walked closer to the river.
From this area towards Vera, the river didn't meander anymore. It was straight ahead so when he went to the center of the river, he could see Vera quite clearly despite the distance. At least, their base was still much closer.
Apparently, along the banks of the river, there were quite a few battles between humans and monsters. They were only separated by abandoned villages.
"Why did it get cold?" Oliver then wondered, which was of course because the river he was in had suddenly become very cold, enough to bother him even with his level.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Suddenly cracking sounds echoed from the front, loud enough that he heard it clearly. It made even Kim Hana stop fighting.
Then, the river water about 500 meters away from Oliver's location suddenly rose upwards.
Only, it was in the form of ice similar to a tower.
In less than a second, it reached a height of up to 30 meters.
"What?" Oliver was dumbfounded as he saw a middle-aged man at the top of the ice with half of his body frozen while he himself still had his eyes open, looking very surprised.
