Crazy leveling up
Silva didn't need to use his dragon eyes to spot the slime's weak point; the core was clearly visible through its translucent, jelly-like body. However, he still decided to use his eyes to check its stats.
[Giant Slime]
**Level:** 8
**Strength:** 20
**Defense:** 25
**Speed:** 15
**Agility:** 10
**Intelligence:** 5
"Seems I don't have to worry about anything," Silva muttered after seeing the slime's stats. He then charged at the slime with a sword he had received from Raze.
The slime noticed Silva's presence and fired a slime bullet at him. Silva dodged the bullet, which struck the ground and melted it around the impact site.
"Tsk, that's a nasty technique. I can't let that hit me."
The slime fired more slime bullets, but Silva easily dodged them and closed the gap, stabbing into the slime and hitting its core. The core shattered, and the slime's jelly-like body spilled out like water.

With that kill alone, he had gained 500 Exp. If he killed another slime, he would level up.
"It seems I didn't even need to come with you. You handled that so easily I felt it was pointless," Raze said.
"No, I did gain experience from it. I can handle a giant slime faster than I did now because I now have a little understanding of its abilities," Silva responded.
"Alright then, you should search for the next one. The more you find, the closer you get to their home," Raze said.
'Hmm, or I could get a skill that allows me to find them easier,' Silva thought to himself. He had yet to use the shop since acquiring it, so now seemed like a good time to do so.
The interface for the shop opened before his eyes, and a long list of skills and spells filled the screen. If he began to search manually, he wouldn't find what he was looking for in this large list, so he tried something different.
"System, is it possible to narrow the skills on the list to those that can help you search for enemies?"
Ironically, the skill that appeared at the top of the list was called "Search." It cost one thousand SP.
[Search Lv1: Seek out a specific target or specific type of target that you have in mind. Skill consumes 1 Mana per second. Effective range: 100 meters] x10
Luckily for Silva, his legacy made it possible to use Search for ten kilometers, and it also reduced the Mana cost by a tenth.
Silva decided to wait on buying any more skills; he couldn't keep Raze waiting. He activated Search with the giant slimes in mind.
Immediately, he picked up on their locations, even identifying the place where they gathered most, which was likely their home.
"I have found them, their homes as well," Silva said.
"What do you mean by 'found them'?" Raze asked.
"I have a search skill, so I was able to find them," Silva said casually.
Raze opened his mouth to say something but then closed it. He took a deep breath and finally spoke.
"At this point, nothing you do will surprise me, kid," Raze said.
Silva didn't respond and started running toward the closest slime.
When he was able to see the slime, he increased his speed and went for the attack. He didn't want to allow the slime to attack at all. He stabbed the slime, penetrating its core, and the slime spilled like water.

Raze met up with Silva, not rushing because he was certain Silva could deal with the slimes without his help.
In fact, he felt like his presence here was quite pointless, but he had promised to be there for the first three quests Silva took.
Silva used Search to locate his next target. He made sure to take out all the slimes that were alone before heading for those in clusters of two or three.
Silva charged at one of the three slimes. The other two fired slime bullets at him when they saw him. Silva easily maneuvered through them, but one brushed his shirt and melted it slightly. It seemed his speed wasn't quite enough, but that was not an issue.
He killed the first slime by slashing it in half, body and core. He immediately charged at the second slime and killed it the same way.

The last slime seemed to be smarter than its brethren; it tried to retreat, but it was too late. Silva charged at it and stabbed through its core.

Silva went around taking out other slimes until only the ones at their home were left. By now, he had leveled up to level 14.
He decided that it was the right time to use his stat points. The number of slimes there was over twenty; he had to be stronger to deal with them.
**Name:** Silva
**Race:** Human (50%), Dark Dragon (50%)
**Legacy:** Dark Dragon Legacy (Awakened)
**Magical Affinities:** Summoning, Darkness, Abyss Magic
**Mana:** 150,000
**Exp:** 500/4000
**SP:** 100,000
**Level:** 14
**Strength:** 80
**Defense:** 70
**Speed:** 90
**Agility:** 90
**Intelligence:** 100
**Free stat points:** 120
He had accumulated quite a number of SP and stat points. Silva made a mental note to start getting some new skills and spells from the store. He had a hundred thousand SP, more than enough for a shopping spree.
As for the stat points, he decided to add twenty to all stats and leave the remaining twenty for any emergency, bringing his stats to:
**Strength:** 100
**Defense:** 90
**Speed:** 110
**Agility:** 110
**Intelligence:** 120
**Free stat points:** 20
It had only been a few days since he met Raze, but his stats were already getting close to Raze's. Silva was beginning to think there was no point in getting Raze to train him in the first place.
