Alexia
I slaughter my way through the undead without any real trouble. Mostly because almost all of the undead are only mid to high Tier 1, with just so of their commanders being low to mid Tier 2. So it ends up being a rather simple task.
That commander's comnt irks though. The guy was obviously trying to save his own skin. What little skin a blighted one has that is.
It's pretty obvious the lich king's been keeping tabs on . I can tell that much just from the movents of the undead wherever I go along with the fact that he'd have to be a complete imbecile not to.
A king doesn't beco a king through stupidity after all, much less a Class S lich king.
He's been keeping tabs on ever since I entered the Dinsional Block. All the way till he entered that dungeon of his to level up, probably in an attempt to reach my level.
Which is good, considering I need him to be at the level cap.
On that note, after finishing off all of the undead and slowly walking to the front gates of the human city where the strongest human is, I open the current leaderboards with a frown.
[Dinsional Champion Leaderboard]

[#7 Ethan Silva – Level 250]
[#8 Sartorius – Level 250]
[#9 Vallius Karan de Volt Hellmouth – Level 250]
[#10 Voltari – Level 250]
At this point all of the people on the leaderboards are at the exact sa spot in terms of level. Although likely different points in eting their requirents for ascension.
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.
The positions of the leaders changed as well, and I'm not the #1 person on the leaderboards anymore. Not that I didn't already know that earlier. Ethan's mother beat to the level cap after all.
A pity.
Then again, there's one advantage weaker Class species do have over higher Class species like us.
They have easier requirents for ascension.
So I wouldn't be surprised if the Hound ended up being the first to reach Tier 3. Just because he's the only Class A species in the top ten.
I sigh at the sadness of losing my number one spot. But considering that the Ancestral Dragon is hundreds of thousands of years old, maybe even millions of years old, it makes sense that she'd eventually eclipse .
She is the oldest dragon alive after all.
Once I reach the front gate I find the human I negotiated with earlier looking rather nervous. Which has frowning.
Not hard to guess what's wrong.
The very instant she sees I'm close enough, she walks up and bows slightly while saying, "I apologize Lady Reaper, but we do not have any Authority Shards or Magical Ore." She rises again from her bow but keeps her head lowered with deference. "All of it was taken by the leaders of the city who ran to other cities during the battle."
I raise an eyebrow at that second part.
The first part was sothing I predicted might happen. But the second part…
"Your leaders suck," I bluntly state, making her flinch before I ask, "What about materials?"
She shakes her head again without a word.
"Taken by the leaders of the city as well?" I ask, and she nods her head this ti. So I sigh and cross my arms. "Well that's a problem."
The woman noticeably sweats out of fear before I identify her, seemingly making her sweat even more.
{Arlaine dex Val – Class: Sky Blade – Level 162}
Interesting. An epic class.
"Lady Reaper, may I suggest a way for us to pay off our debt?" the woman asks with clearly spoken words, not showing any of her fear in her voice whatsoever. Which is rather surprising to say the least, but also impressive.
"Speak," I tell her while silently beginning to tap my foot.
"Lady Reaper, if it would benefit you, I would like to offer ten years' worth of my rcenary company's services to you," the woman, Arlaine, says, finally lifting her head to et my gaze directly. And even if she does flinch slightly at whatever she sees in my gaze, she manages to hold firm anyways with a determined look on her face.
Interesting.
"Your rcenary company?" I prod her for more information.
So she starts talking. And in the end I find out that she leads a rcenary company consisting of over one thousand rcenaries, all of whom are at least Tier 2 in strength, with the vast majority being at the bottom of Tier 2. It also turns out that they don't work for the city and were only defending it out of honor. To save the lives in the city.
A rather uncommon ntality to have both before and after the Reset.
Although it also helped the fact that the undead would eventually go after them anyways.
What I find the most interesting is her drive though. She is afraid of , that's obvious. But she's also trying to help out her rcenary company and bring them benefits while finding a middle ground.
After all, working under ans that I'll end up bringing them back to Dinsional Block #108. Which ans leaving the undead-ridden Block behind.
I look behind her at the rcenaries trying to look nacing on the walls of the city but failing to when I notice a few cautiously glancing our way and imdiately jerking their head away when they see looking back. Then I identify several of them, finding them all to be the levels she stated.
So I turn back to her and directly state, "I'll be staying in this Dinsional Block for a while longer and personally have no use for you myself. But you can work for my sister when I finish with my business in this Block and bring you back."
Everyone within earshot imdiately lets out sighs of relief or pent-up breaths that have raising an eyebrow.
"Thank you, Lady Reaper," the leader of the rcenaries says with another bow before asking, "May I know when you plan to leave?"
I look her in the eye and answer honestly, "No idea." And without expanding on that answer, I ask, "Do you have a map of the area?"
Because I could use a map.
