Reaper's Resurgence - Book 2 - Chapter 35 - Level Capped and Visitors (Patreon)

                    Alexia

After leaving the dwarf’s forge, finding that Shawn has already long since left, I make my way over to Astrid and hand off the items I have no use for. Then I quickly leave the island again to go find a random Tier 2 dungeon. Which doesn’t really take long.

The one I end up entering turns out to be the complete opposite of the first Tier 2 dungeon, with this one having a focus on fire instead of ice. And it doesn’t take me too long to bring myself up the last four levels to level 250. If ‘not-too-long’ means a couple days, that is.

But the sight of the requirements to reach Tier 3 has me… feeling rather thankful that I decided to go ahead and do this now instead of after visiting Ethan and checking out the other nearby bases. While searching for Tier 3 dungeons, of course.

{Congratulations! You have leveled up to the level cap of Tier 2! In order to break into Tier 3, you must complete the following requirements based on your class: Kill two beings at the cap of Tier 2. Raise a single skill to Tier 3. Kill one user at the cap of Tier 2.}

That’s a… uh… huh. Strange class requirement.

It also means I’m gonna have to wait a bit to be able to complete all of the requirements, since the only people close to the cap of Tier 2 are people on the leaderboards.

I grimace as I realize that this is probably gonna make me lose my top spot for a while.

And it would be rude to fight Ethan just for a requirement. He likes games after all. So it would be a pity and a pain to kill him.

Well, with the level cap now reached, I decide to go ahead and finish the dungeon since I’m already here. Plus I’m pretty sure I was about to reach the boss anyways.

Might as well knock one of those level capped beings out of the way right now.

I glance around at the magma-filled caverns around me before continuing forward through the tunnel at the end of the cavern where I eventually find a fancy looking set of double doors. And after opening the doors, I find a large demon-like creature with magma flowing through its veins, a pitch black, cracked looking skin, and glowing red eyes filled with flames.

Yep. There’s the boss.

Time to knock half of that first requirement out.

           Meanwhile, near the Dimensional Wall of Dimensional Block #108

Ronald var Floid – a former noble from the Varal Kingdom and newly minted noble of the new Varal Kingdom – stands silently atop a small tower that is in the process of being built as he watches out at the vast wall spreading for as far as the eye can see both up and down, and to the sides. The wall is purple in color and is made out of mist and what appear to be clouds with the occasional flash of purple and light blue lightning striking within the clouds. And just like the other border islands touching the wall, the island the fortress is standing on is completely stationary, lying unmoving with a bridge pointing towards the wall allowing people to pass through it.

The noble continues standing and keeping watch over the wall, only very briefly glancing at the soldiers beneath him who are working on setting up the fortress until the wall suddenly begins to split above the bridge for several meters, revealing the other side of the wall to him. And to Ronald’s awe, the other side of the wall appears to be nothing more than a barren wasteland of scorching summer sun and desert sands for as far as the eye can see.

The Covenant has already sent authority holders through each of the four walls surrounding them, proving the walls to be belonging to the 107th, 106th, 105th, and 109th Dimensional Blocks, but Ronald himself has never seen the other side of the wall himself. From what he understands, this wall should be leading to the 109thDimensional Block. One that is in the form of a seemingly endless desert with only the occasional oasis within for people to live.

Makes me glad I wasn’t sent there.

Ronald’s eyes quickly focus on the people coming from the other Block. And just a single glance at them makes him understand that they’re powerful. So he pulls out the magical item given to him to contact the higher ups before sending a quick message saying that individuals from Dimensional Block #109 have arrived.

After sending out the message, Ronald quickly barks out orders to the soldiers below who are doing nothing but gawking at the opening in the wall, spurring them into action. He then returns his focus to the approaching group and frowns.

Looks like we have some undead living in the neighboring Dimensional Block. Fitting that they’d be living in a wasteland like that Dimensional Block. A massive desert.

The group has around forty people in it, meaning that there are two possibilities. Either they have multiple authority holders amongst them, or they have a single Authority Level 3 holder who just didn’t bring the maximum number of people they could have brought.

Probably multiple Authority Level 2 and below holders.

Ronald continues to study the group as they walk across the vast bridge, each showing surprise once they make it to our side of the wall and find the endless sky beneath the bridge after they look over the edge. But the one at the front of the group simply continues moving forwards with a frown on her face.

Looks like she’s a Class A undead. A blighted one.

The woman has glowing green eyes and pale as snow skin with long white hair and ethereally glowing green claws. Meanwhile the subordinates behind her are all either of the same species or the Class B version. Simple blights.

Ronald raises the device again and sends another message stating little more than ‘Undead’ before jumping from the tower and moving out to meet the undead with his own forces at his back.

Let’s see if we’ll have peaceful neighbors or not.
