After Blackback’s death, the other jackals ran away without any hesitation. Their fears overcome their loyalty, and so they didn’t even look back as they fled for their lives.Rowan kept hearing messages pop up before him.Thanks to him defeating someone who was leveled more than twice as himself, Rowan leveled up six times, and so he reached 111 now. Sesi also leveled up once and reached 107. Leah also reached the same level as Sesi.Gary did not level up initially, but after he absorbed the energy from Blackback’s body, he leveled up once.He also attained the skill Jackal’s Jolt. A red lightning attack, which he was able to use right away.Seeing the red lightning come out of his hand, Sesi was greatly surprised.“What a cheat. I guess the hero does have so many ways to keep growing stronger.” She looked jealous and salty because her hair was cut. Even though she was able to grow her hair to normal length as her ability allowed for it, she still didn’t like the fact that Blackback

The territory that was to the north of the Blackback’s territory was where the brown lizardmen lived.They were the weakest race among the lizardmen and averaged around level 80s, so Gary thought that they would be the perfect targets for his team to level up.However, the issue was that these lizardmen operated very differently from the jackals. They rarely roamed in groups and were very tight with their surveillance. And their territory was also not that big.So, one mistake, and all the lizardmen would be alerted.So, Gary and others set out with the mission to silently kill all the lizardmen in the territory before they could even realize what’s happening.Gary told the spiders to be on standby behind every team member and only be a support when necessary.Gary stopped everyone once they spotted the two lizardmen who were on the watchtower.“They built towers already?” Rowan was shocked. “How are we going to get up those towers without being seen by them?”“Their eyes are very sen

For the next couple of hours, Rowan and others used the same tactic to kill more and more lizardmen.When the shine on one of the tails ran out, they used the second tail, the backup tail which they had carefully preserved.Thanks to this, they were able to kill more of them.Leah’s new skill Shadowless Sword was no joke. She was able to pierce the opponent and cause them to die without even making them bleed. The more she used the skill, the more she understood its capabilities.Sesi also unlocked a skill called Fire Strand Hanger. With this skill, she was able to send a rope of fire and choke the opponent to death. She only needed to use one strand of hair to do this. This improved her confidence because the strength of her hair was also increasing, which was exactly what she wanted for the time being.Rowan, on the other hand, also earned a skill called Stench Bearer. It was a Low-Grade skill. Rowan naturally wasn’t satisfied with it because his Jackal’s Recovery was a Proper Grade

A few minutes later.Rowan opened his eyes slowly, but he quickly sat up and looked around. The lizardwoman was lying on the ground, with a hole in her chest.Gary was standing next to her.Rowan was a bit depressed to see that. “So you killed her…” Was he saved again by Gary?“No, you killed her,” Gary said.“I did?” Rowan was surprised to hear that.“Yeah, she tricked you and got behind you,” Gary explained him. “But then you sacrificed your left arm and then saw her off with a punch to her heart.”“I did that?” Rowan was only remembering it now after Gary had explained him. He then looked at his left arm, which was hanging loosely as it had many broken bones.“Luckily, your arm wasn’t cut off,” Gary added. “Or, I’m not sure if it can be reattached or not.”“I have a recovery skill, so I think my arm will heal by itself,” Rowan said. “It might take an hour though since this injury looks nasty.”“Did you level up ?” Gary asked him.“Let me check,” Rowan quickly checked his stats. “Ye

Wanting to prove himself, Rowan fearlessly rushed into an orc captain’s territory. His bravery actually surprised the spiders and even Sesi.“He’s going to kill himself because of his stupid bravery,” Sesi said. “Anyway, let’s see how he fares against those orcs.”“No, their average level itself is much higher than our levels,” Leah said. “He will struggle against just one, much less against multiple of them.”“You’re right, but he ran toward his death on his own accord,” Sesi blurted.“Yeah, but we can’t just let him die,” Leah said and also charged forth into the orcs’ territory.Sesi looked at Gary. “Your girlfriend is headstrong. It will be hard for you to govern her after you get married.”“Let’s not talk about the distant future right now,” Gary replied. “Let’s focus on what’s ahead of us.”“You’re right,” Sesi took a breath and then also rushed into their territory.Gary looked at the spiders, and they were still looking very hesitant.“You guys… stay at a distance. I’ll deeply
