She was close to gaining another level but knew that wasn't necessarily a good thing, as it meant that the gap between Lia and Erin would be that much wider. As it was, Erin would be dealing with an 18-level gap going into this fight.
The part that made Neve especially nervous was that unlike the vast majority of their enemies so far, Lia was obviously going to be the dextrous, quick, and agile type.
In a world where one bad hit was all it took for even the highest-level players to die, that was the most dangerous kind of enemy one could come across.
