Chapter 14 - Level 5

"Take me to the place where your group was attacked."

Alexander was eager to head to the place where many bivorches were and didn't want to waste this golden opportunity. Especially since he wouldn't be fighting the bivorch alone but together with the group. With their help, he could deliver the final blows to the already weakened bivorch.

"Follow me, sir; I'll take you to my group."

The young man then led Alexander toward the area where his group was being attacked by a pack of low-level bivorches.

Not long after, as Alexander followed the young man, the roars of the bivorch could be heard in the distance.

As Alexander got closer, he could hear the sounds of battle between the group and the bivorch. From afar, Alexander could see a group of five young men surrounded by a pack of bivorch, fighting them off.

In the group, Alexander noticed a young man around his age at the front. This tough-looking young man was fending off various attacks from the bivorch, with additional attacks from his friends.

"Clang!"

"Bang!"

The sounds of the battle between the two groups echoed as attacks were exchanged back and forth.

Seeing many of the bivorch already weakened, Alexander didn't want to stand idly by. This was his chance to level up.

"System, perform fusion!" 

----

[Ding!]

[The host is about to perform fusion.]

----

"Bling!"

Alexander then found himself in Skeba's body and immediately activated his Skull Sword Slash skill. With the appearance of a long bone sword in his hand, Alexander began slashing at several level 0 bivorches within his reach that were already on the verge of death.

"Slash!"

"Slash!"

"Slash!"

Two level 0 bivorches fell lifeless to the ground after Alexander's attack struck them.

He then looked at the remaining bivorches: a total of eight, with three at level 1 and the rest at level 0, as clearly indicated by the red text floating above them.

With his previous attack, Alexander had already defeated two of the eight bivorches.

Seeing someone come and defeat the bivorches, the young man leading the group quickly took notice and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Eh, is that the help sent by Lutta?"

The leader of the group couldn't help but inquire about the person who had suddenly arrived and helped them defeat the bivorch.

Not long after Alexander's attack, the figure of Lutta appeared before the group.

Seeing this, the group leader quickly concluded that the person was the help Lutta had brought, which raised the group's morale.

"Friends, Lutta's help has arrived. Let's defeat them!"

"Attack!" the group leader signaled.

The group then resumed their continuous assault on the remaining bivorch.

<50/500>

<80/500>

<75/500>

Alexander saw that the three level 1 bivorches were on the verge of death and immediately rushed towards them, unleashing his strongest attacks on the three bivorches.

"Slash! Slash! Slash!"

"Slash! Slash! Slash!"

"Slash! Slash! Slash!"

Alexander poured everything he had into this attack, even pushing his mana consumption to the limit to unleash as many slashes as he could muster.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Alexander's powerful attacks exploded, killing the three bivorches and leaving them lifeless. Shortly after defeating the three, the system notification sounded.

----

[Ding]

[Host has defeated 3 level 1 bivorches]

[EXP +750]

[Ding]

[Congratulations! Host and partner have leveled up.]

[5 stat points added]

----

Seeing the system notification, Alexander couldn't help but smile happily in his heart.

But it wasn't over yet; he had to defeat them all and level up again.

"System, allocate stats as usual."

----

[Ding]

[Stat points have been added as per request.]

----

Following Alexander's command to allocate stats as usual, a white aura enveloped him. His previously exhausted body had recovered and was now ready to attack again. Alexander then began attacking the remaining bivorch.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Alexander quickly defeated the remaining bivorch, and soon the system notification sounded again.

----

[Ding]

[Congratulations! Host and partner have leveled up.]

[5 stat points added]

----

"System, stop fusion."

----

[Ding]

[Fusion will be terminated]

----

"Bling!"

Alexander then appeared beside Skeba, this time with a satisfied look, seeing from the system notification that he had leveled up twice.

"System, allocate points as usual, and show status."

----

[Ding]

[Stat points have been added as per request.]

----

[Welcome to the strongest system.]

[Mission: Leveling up skeleton warriors to become great warriors]

[Mission duration: Unlimited]

[Reward: Become invincible]

----

Alexander's stat increases were significant, making him feel twice as strong as before.

After defeating the bivorch, the novice group led by Kevin immediately approached him.

"Thank you, sir, for your help. I am Kevin, the leader of the novice group from the Red Sword Guild."

"It's no big deal. I just helped finish them off when they were already weakened. It was also thanks to you. Well then, I'll take my leave,"

Alexander then quickly bid farewell and didn't want to linger. However, he didn't want to get too involved with the Red Sword Guild at the moment, so he promptly disappeared from the group's view.

"Lutta, who is that person you asked for help?"

"I don't know either, leader. He just came and helped me suddenly."

"Eh, this is strange. Do you know his name?"

Lutta shrugged and said he didn't know the name of their helper either.

"Alright, I'll report what happened later. From what I saw, his strength is equal to mine; he is a beginner Rank 1 Warrior."

The novice group from the Red Sword Guild then quickly left the location and returned to Anvel, the city where their Red Sword Guild was based.

Meanwhile, Alexander was overjoyed with his luck, allowing him to defeat many bivorches and level up twice with ease.

"Hahaha, this is my lucky day, isn't it, Skeba?"

"You're right, Dad. This time we were lucky to get such a big harvest."

"Where will we go next? Should we continue looking for more low-level bivorch?"

"I think so, Dad. It's better if we raise our level. Now we can handle normal level 1 bivorch."

"Alright, let's do that. The stronger we both get, the better."

Alexander and Skeba then decided to roam around the area near the village of Vorvor again to find more bivorch.

Alexander now felt confident that he could face normal level 1 bivorches, but if it were a group of normal level 1 bivorches, he still believed he would likely die facing them.
