The Guardian System: The strongest Summoner's quest to save his family Chapter 395 395: City Like a Corpse (12)

A month had passed since Reidar killed Zhen-Gora Thenn in the palace ruins.

These had been thirty days of searching, traveling, and fighting. Thirty days of hunting monsters that could kill him in seconds if he made one wrong move. Thirty days of scanning every ruin, every collapsed laboratory, and every building for any sign of Mara.

Unfortunately, Reidar had found no single trace of the woman, which was starting to worry him.

He sighed and looked at the Ignis corpse below his feet. The creature had been Level 530, the sa level Reidar had just reached after the fight ended.

But despite the last level up, Reidar didn't cheer. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and dismissed the notifications about his level-ups and loot.

He was tired. Thirty days of walking through the desolate, grey wastes of the Ignis howorld had not been easy on him for multiple reasons.

The dead monster at his feet was the tenth threat he had neutralized since leaving the laboratory ruins where he found the journal.

Ten monsters. It didn't sound like a lot for a month of work, but out here, quantity wasn't the problem. It was the monsters' level.

Every single one of them had been a raid boss in its own right compared to the creatures on Earth, a creature that would have required a full party of high-level survivors back on Earth, if not an army. The difference in strength at high levels was too high. That was mostly because monsters had more skills, and creatures that were once intelligent still kept that form of intelligence, which made them incomparably harder to kill compared to other creatures.

It was a mix of things, really.

Reidar sat down on a piece of debris and looked around. The capital city of the Ignis civilization stretched out in every direction in front of him. After a month of traveling—flying, really—he reached the place.

This city was called Kilovar, based on what the journal said. It was as massive as he imagined it to be, far larger than any of the other cities he'd seen.

The buildings here were taller, the streets wider, and the architecture more elaborate. This had been the heart of their kingdom, country, or whatever the Ignis had. It was the center of their governnt and culture.
