In the end, it turned out that RageHeart did not level up because he was just a few experience points behind.
This wasn't too much of a bad thing, as it meant that RageHeart only needed to defeat a level 2 monster to level up.
However, there was another issue—the area they were in now had stronger monsters, making Ethan wonder if they'd be lucky enough to encounter a weaker one.
After travelling for a while, they did encounter monsters, but not the type Ethan was hoping to see.
Ethan and his team came across two level 3 monsters and one level 2 monster—all undead knights.
The division of opponents was already set the moment the monster lineup was revealed.
Ethan, being the only level 3 in the team, would take on the two level three undead knights, while RageHeart would engage the level 2 undead knight, aiming to quickly defeat it and return to assist Ethan if needed.
