From his arrival at the heart of Duskfall City, Darien had encountered both monsters and humans.
He checked his status window for his experience.
Leveling up to Rank 2 soon was no longer a priority for him, as he wanted to farm as many skill points as he could whilst at Rank 1 alone.

Apparently, it seemed there was still a long way to go, so Darien wasn't worried.
Slaying a powerful Shrine Monster would add up adequately, even though the experience points would be shared with his partner.
His partner, Vynsera, had retrieved the orb key from Vincent's corpse. The orb key unlocked the inner shrine where the Shrine Monster dwelled.
But before they entered, Vynsera used the same skill she mentioned earlier to lift Vincent's corpse onto the altar.
Darien watched in silence as she, without remorse, sacrificed her brother's body into the glowing runes of the shrine.
