Ding!
[Congratulations to Sam Walker for leveling up to Level 2 of the Apprentice Rank!]
It took another dozen monsters or so, but eventually, Sam reached the next level.
Just like in the first layer, none of the monsters even came close to threatening him.
They charged at him in groups, some with weapons, others with claws and corrupted magic, but it didn't matter.
They fell just the same.
A single swing from his [Primordial Sword] would cleave through them.
If he didn't want to get close, his [Sovereign Inferno] would reduce entire squads to ash, and [Abyssal Obliteration] would erase whatever was left standing.
They were stronger than the enemies from the first layer, sure. They were faster, more coordinated, and all level 20 thanks to the corruption.
But they still didn't stand a chance.
Sam kept moving, calm and unbothered.
'Am I too strong for this?' he wondered, though there wasn't any real concern in the thought. 'Maybe… but that's probably a good thing.'
