'It's way less tedious.'
Although the Main Encroachment Gate was built to be several times harder than the first one, aside from the final ordeal, the steps needed to reach it were far less troublesome.
At least that was the case for Leo.
'Use the Rapid Ascension Privilege, of course.'
As Leo accepted the generous offer of skipping the preliminary levels, another pillar of light descended on him.
When he stepped out once more without hesitation, he was met with another green-skinned creature, but this one was tall, sporting defined muscles, and carrying a large two-handed axe.
The large gap in strength created by skipping 10 whole levels could already be seen, but Leo didn't feel particularly threatened by the Orc's menacing glare.
'This is more like it.'
Unlike the overconfident Goblin at the start, the Orc scanned Leo and his sword first before putting his axe in a defensive position.
However, once he realized that Leo had no intention of making the first move…
Graaah!
