Swoosh!
Under the bright blue-white moon, two rankers were dashing into a place that was surrounded by thousands of tombs.
"The difference with our levels are exposed-"
At first, Hary thought, he made a huge distance from Ling. However, it appeared that he won't as Ling effortlessly ran next to him at along.
Yes, he tried to increase his speed. 'I'm getting slower because I'm worried about the monsters that might attack him. Let's play for a while.' He said inwardly, then raised the wind magic coated his feet.
Swoosh!
"How about now-?"
At this juncture, Hary was taken aback as Ling still running next to him and had a broad smile on his face.
Bam!
He came to halt, didn't expect that the [Shadow] passive skill Ling has could be like this.
Ling stopped as well and went closer to him. "What's the matter, Hary? Did we reach the place?" He asked in a clueless tone as there was no monster around them.
Hary looked at him with a straight face. "Ling, did you go at your full speed?"
Well, Ling doesn't understand what was the meaning of those questions, but he answered them. "Not at all. Half of my speed, I think? Why?"
His eyes widened as he was intuition was right. Eventually, he smirked at him. "Is that so? Haha!" Before he started the expedition again, Hary fixed his composure. "Forget about that. I'm just amazed at your speed despite your level."
Swoosh!
"What is his problem? This is the first time I saw him have that kind of expression." He said inwardly, then followed him into the much deeper part of the graveyard.

Meanwhile, Ling and Hary stopped in the place where the pillars can be found, and around them were the tombs. Based on their expression, probably would appear sooner or later as the ground was crumbling.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The dried surface started to crack after new creatures were transpiring under those tombs. To be more specific, the area was filled with a rotten smell as the undead skeletons showed.
The monster's outward appearance was just like a typical skeleton, but they had 5ft in height, wore wooden armor, and were armed with different kinds of weapons. If Ling guessed it right, those skeletons seemed like participated in a war.
Ling took out his knife and Hary opened his grimoire as they were preparing for the battle. Well, the monsters were coated by blue light, so it means they were still invulnerable from different types of attacks until the 3-second respawning duration ended.
"Ling, I would inflict high damage toward the monster, and kill them with your ability." Hary commanded him, then materialized a strong magical power in the mid-air.
He nodded his head without making any second thoughts, and slightly lowered his body. "Leave it to me."
As soon as the 20 undead skeletons charged at them and were armed with swords, spears, and arrows. Hary raised his hand in the air before swinging it down.
[Meteor!]
Boom!
A massive explosion transpired in the mid-air. The rounded thing compose of fire and rocks scattered all over the place, aiming at those monsters charging toward them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each time the firing rocks hit the monster and the surface, Ling could easily tell how strong that skill was.
"There's no doubt. Hary is a strong ranker." He muttered and pointed his knife at those monsters since at any moment he have to attack. "But I shouldn't leave behind and do everything I could to catch up with him."
Of course, due to the explosion, the area was enveloped by thick smoke, as well as dust. And because of Hary's skill, the monsters' movements were getting slower as that skill had a 5% slowing effect.
[Wind!]
To remove obstacles blocking their visions to this vicinity, Hary cast another skill. After that, he took a glance at Ling. "It's your turn, show me what you got!"
"Absolutely."
The monsters were groaning in agony and trying to regain their footing. Yet, Ling had no intention to give them a chance to fight as he cast two skills at the same time.
[Unlimited knife!]
[Madness!]
Numerous bones were flying in the mid-air after Ling slashed them without hesitation. Those monsters were trying to fight back, however, their speeds were not enough to catch up with him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Swish! Swish! Swish!

In just three minutes of fighting those monsters, Ling's level raised by two. His precision and power spike was the main reason why he immediately killed them.
"Having someone like him is not a waste of time. If we continue like this, probably I would reach a higher level before the day ends." He smiled faintly, but that smile didn't last after he saw Hary's expression. So he quickly charged toward and added these words. "What's wrong, Hary? Did something happen?"
Hary wasn't talking for a couple of seconds, so Ling held his shoulder and shook him. "Hey! What's your problem?" He said in a high tone as he couldn't tell if there was something happening to him in the real world.
By that, Hary regained his senses and still, the surprised expression on his face does not move away. Well, he understood that he inflicted high possible damage to those monsters. But the thing here was, those monsters were undead skeletons known for having durable bodies and painless monsters. So how he could kill all of them in just a simple slash?
At this point, he knew there was something wrong with Ling's account as the growth he had could compare to the ranker who attained level 20 or 25. "Ling, you will mind if I check your status real quick?"
Yes, he was well savvied that this wasn't the thing should do by a ranker like him. Why? Because it was too obvious that was an invasion of privacy. Plus, it could use as a way to defeat him in a one-on-one match.
Although he was clueless about the situation, still, he nodded his head. In his mind, if he was going to trust someone, that was Hary. "Of course, why not. Here you go?"
As soon as he shared the screen, Hary quickly went closer to him and glanced at the screen. "What the hell is this, Ling? That title... Your status... And two passive skills with your current level? What you have done." Hary paused for a second as he saw something that really surprised him. "Huh, this is a double---"
