SIGH!

Zach opened his menu and a.s.signed the points to his stats.

"Level 91, huh?" he muttered. "I remember reading in the journal that the system changes after crossing the level 100."

'To be honest, the levels in this game are useless to me. I am only trying to level up so I can ascend even higher. The only thing I care about now is my soul power, and it's increasing as my wors.h.i.+ppers increase.

There is a summit later today, and I will try my best to get the players to wors.h.i.+p me. If everything goes well, my soul powers would probably be double what they are not.

But the real problem is retaining the wors.h.i.+ppers. I cannot tell how many are joining and leaving my religion.

It's not really a big deal, but it affects my soul power.'

Zach gazed at the dead bodies of the players he had just killed and shook his head in disbelief.

"Cerberus, are you hungry?" Zach asked calmly.

[I am not, my liege,] Cerberus replied from Zach's shadows. Cerberus wasn't hungry as he had eaten the thugs from last night at the church.

"Oh.. okay then" Zach moved his hand to the corpses and burned them until they turned into ashes.

"Now then" Rudy walked to the portal in the middle of the forest and muttered, "Time to ascend. Once I reach level 100, I can challenge the angel, who will be the realm boss of the first five main realms and 15 sub realms. I don't care about the rewards, but I want to send a message to the G.o.ds through that angel."

After leaving Aria's domain in the morning, Zach went to the garden and ascended to the highest possible realm he could with his current level. The portal opened in the middle of the forest, and after walking for a while, he was attacked by a pandit party of eight players with a red name tag.

Zach had no other choice but to kill them as the players deserved to die for ambus.h.i.+ng players like that.

"Not going to lie, killing players is indeed the easiest way to level up, especially for someone like me whose physique is already max. It's truly tempting.

I think most players would turn to the dark side once they learn the secret to leveling up by killing the players. No one would want to risk their lives in the dungeon for hours only to barely level up when they can just level up by killing the players.

However, I am glad to see not many know about it. Although I am worried about what would happen if this secret gets out. By the looks of it, it would be safe to a.s.sume that 5% of the players already know about it.

To be honest, I have thought about it. What if I go killing the players to level up?

Of course, I would only kill the players with red name tags, but after interrogating them and making sure they are not innocent.

Obviously, not every player that has a red name tag is evil. Some might have killed someone in order to protect themselves. There is no real way to know about it."

SIGH!

Zach let out a weary sigh and pa.s.sed through the portal.

[Welcome to the fifth stage of the first realm- Bone Fortification!]

"I am sure many players have ascended this far. But this is the top stage of the first realm, and the requirements to enter this realm are level 90 and at least the fifth stage of the physique cultivation, which is the Limit Surpa.s.sing Stage.

Come to think of it, the requirements to ascend to the higher realms decrease as we ascend. The level requirement is 90, but the physique is high as always.

That makes sense as one needs too many EXP to level up, and it's exhausting," he murmured to himself.

He opened the map of the realm to look for the dungeon.

"Wow it's so far what the f.u.c.k! I have no intention of sightseeing the realms, no matter how unique and beautiful they are. It's no fun when Aurora and the girls are not with me."

[My liege, may I propose an idea?] Cerberus asked from Zach's shadow.

"I already know what you will suggest, and the answer is yes," he uttered nonchalantly. "Let's clear the dungeon of this realm and go back. The girls are waiting for me."

Cerberus came out of Zach's shadow in his mighty form and bowed down in front of Zach.

p-0 [It's an honor to be able to use,] he said with the utmost sincerity.

Zach stepped on Cerberus' leg and climbed on top of it.

[Are you comfortable, my liege?]

"Yes. You may start running."

[There is no leash on me for you to hold. So I apologize in advance if you accidentally fall of]

"How bold of you to a.s.sume I will fall off. It seems I need to discipline you."

[Please forgive me, my liege!]

"Hmm~ I may consider it if you can take me to the dungeon within five minutes. Remember that it's on the other side of the map, and this realm is big. Almost ten times big as the first sub-realm."

[I will try my best!]

Cerberus began to walk, and soon his steps picked up speed. A few seconds later, he started running at a crazy speed, but Zach didn't budge from his position.

He enjoyed the wind hitting his face and making it numb as Cerberus increased his speed even more.

They reached the first town and crossed it within a second. And the NPCs and the players that were staying there didn't even see them. They all thought it was a gust of wind.

They pa.s.sed through various towns and cities. Luckily, the bigger cities like the capitals and such, where most players and NPCs resided, were not in their way.

Cerberus took the route of the forest and mountains, and they reached the dungeon after six minutes and nine seconds.
