The morning sun had begun to peek over the cliff, and the snow that had been falling the entire night had finally stopped.
Cedric, on the other hand, was still fighting.
He was breathing heavily from both exhaustion and the cold air, but he didn't stop. All around him lay the bodies of the Yetis that he had slain. The snow was stained a deep, dark crimson and trampled into a slushy mess from the sheer intensity of the struggle.
In truth, after killing over a hundred and twenty Saurians at the Saurian Outskirts, Cedric was already really close to reaching level 15. He was pretty sure that after killing only a few Yetis, he would be well over that cap.
But during the heat of the slaughter, he decided to just keep on fighting. His goal for this level up quest was not just to get his regalia, but to level up high enough to be able to survive the Home of the Hollow Ones. That was why he ended up hunting and slaying until the morning.
