As they put more distance between themselves and Dragon's Peak Citadel, the monsters grew increasingly formidable. The creatures in this region were generally Level 25 and above, posing a serious threat to the average player, whose level still hovered below 23. Unsurprisingly, the number of other adventurers in the area had thinned out considerably.
"Whoa, Stone, what level are these things? The experience is insane!"
FreshwindElara watched her experience bar leap forward. At this rate, she'd hit Level 20 within the hour.
"Twenty-five and up."
"Level 25? What level are you? How is your attack so high? And your defense..."
She stared at Marcus, completely baffled. Her own brother, a Level 22 warrior, was a whirlwind in combat, and she'd always thought he was incredible. But this Knight, Stonehaven, was operating on a different plane. He cut through these Level 25 beasts with an almost casual efficiency, barely seeming to register their attacks. He was in a league of his own.
