Liora stood trembling on the rooftop with excitement.
The ruined city below her swarmed with undead. Thousands of them. Their decaying bodies dragged across the broken streets like ants. But to her, they weren't just zombies.
They were experience points.
Her fingers curled tightly around the cracked edge of the rooftop railings as the familiar excitement of her shadows. She could feel their eagerness to come out. Her eyes gleamed with a sharp, eager light, and a wild grin tugged at her lips.
She was going to level up.
Beside her, Xu Kai stood in silence. Calm and Focused. His sword caught the faint gray light in the smog-choked air. He scanned the endless sea of the undead, then turned to her.
"Should we go down and kill them up close?" he asked, his tone casual.
Liora didn't hesitate. She shook her head quickly. "No need."
Xu Kai raised an eyebrow, curious. "No?"
