"How are these Stone Grunts leveling up?"
Marcus frowned as the thought slipped out loud. If he had not possessed Insight, he probably would never have noticed the change at all, and that realization sent a chill of excitement through him. A hidden mechanic inside the dungeon meant opportunity, and opportunity meant rewards.
He eliminated the newly respawned level forty-three Stone Grunts with ease but resisted the urge to move on. Instead, he stayed where he was, watching carefully, waiting to see what would happen next.
Ten minutes later, the Grunts reformed from scattered fragments of stone. Marcus immediately activated Insight.
—
Level forty-four. Health: 9,000.
—
"Ha."
A grin spread across his face. Finally, a lead worth following. He cut them down again without hesitation and settled in to wait for another respawn, his earlier frustration with the maze rapidly transforming into anticipation.
The pattern continued.
Level forty-five.
Level forty-six.
