After the monster horde attack, the overall strength of the players in Riverfall City had increased significantly.
Many players had leveled up to 10.
High-level players like Ada and Ben had already reached around level 15.
They had left most other players far behind.
However, this wasn't the time to celebrate victory just yet.
Although the Hydra had been defeated, the monster horde still raged on.
Particularly, the Lord-level monsters posed a significant threat.
Fortunately, when Ryan returned from Southwind City, he had brought along a large group of third-year students from Red Maple Academy.
Most of these students were Silver-grade or Gold-grade mid-tier practitioners, with their leader, Fratis, being a Platinum-grade Holy Light Priest.
With their assistance, the Iron Mountain soldiers and players quickly launched a counterattack.
