"The main character?" William could only scratch his forehead slowly, confused by Kenzo's words.
Now that Kenzo was standing in front of a large tree, he opened his status bar to confirm the amount of magical and physical energy he had.
He was aware that his physical and magical energy had drastically increased along with his level increase.
Previously when facing beasts, Kenzo had managed to eliminate hundreds of beasts and made him reach level 15 in just a few days.
Of course, it was all thanks to William who always faithfully helped him.
"William you can rest now, I'll be on guard, I still want to continue training! Kenzo said lightly while looking at the big tree in front of him.
Seeing Kenzo's desire to continue training, William nodded, deciding to follow Kenzo's orders and would replace him later after his master was exhausted.
Morning came quickly, William woke up in a hurry, and immediately turned in the direction where Kenzo had trained earlier.
But when he saw the condition of the place, he could only stand still with wide eyes, The approximately 100 meters long area in front of him had now turned to ash and filled with thick smoke, and dozens of holes 1-2 meters deep formed in the area.
"Did he do it?" William almost couldn't believe what he saw, even though Kenzo was already at level 15, he thought Kenzo's strength was too great, moreover, the master was already exhausted earlier.
"Wait where is he now?" William immediately woke up and stood up looking around to find Kenzo.
His eyes narrowed slightly when he saw Ryu's figure rubbing his head on Kenzo's body who was already lying on the river bank, full of anxiety William immediately rushed to Kenzo to check on his condition.
"Master... Master!" Called William a few times, trying to wake Kenzo up.
Hearing William's voice, Kenzo opened his eyes slowly, "It's morning, sorry I seem to have overslept." Kenzo said in a weak voice.
Ryu who saw Kenzo was conscious immediately jumped into Kenzo's arms while licking Kenzo's face happily.
"Ryu what are you doing, I can't breathe properly." Kenzo could only stroke Ryu's head to calm him down.
While William's eyes lit up slightly when he saw that Kenzo was fine, he was finally able to heave a sigh of relief, "He's pushing himself too much, training hard, even so… It was completely worth it."
William thought, even though he didn't get to see Kenzo practice in person, seeing the results of his training, That was enough to prove how strong Kenzo's attacks were at level 15.
After recovering their strength, the two of them immediately continued their journey, following the main road that seemed to have been traveled many times, they were very sure that the road would lead to their destination city.
Half a day had passed, and they didn't find any monsters or beasts.
"Looks like this road is very safe!" Kenzo mumbled lightly, even though he couldn't wait to fight monsters or beasts.
A few moments later they had arrived at the top of the cliff as deep as almost 100 meters, then under the cliff, they could see a barren valley that looked very lonely.
The main road continued to follow the cliffs and valleys, and they followed it without the slightest worry.
"Our destination city may be beyond that mountain, we just need to pass through the valley and the mountain." William nodded very sure of his guess.
"Mmm!" Kenzo also agreed, he was thinking the same thing as William.
The two of them passed through a barren valley flanked by barren cliffs, some bones of wild animals and dry plants could be seen almost along the road in the valley.
"Master, we must remain vigilant, this place is most likely a little different from before!" William reminded Kenzo without lowering his guard.
He had to be prepared for all eventualities, however even though the valley was very quiet, the bones along the way, were enough to be an indication that there were frequent battles in that place.
Meanwhile, at the top of the mountain, the black-haired man's eyes shone when he saw that Kenzo and William had arrived at a barren valley.
"Finally you guys arrived, I can't wait to see your abilities," He said smiling sideways while stroking the neck of the dragon next to him.
"Are you ready?" The man continued to stare intently at the black dragon next to him.
The black dragon just nodded lightly, he understood the man's words, and at that moment the dragon immediately flapped its wings and shot into the sky.
Ryu who was on Kenzo's shoulder put on an alert attitude, his gaze shone sharply at the top of the mountain, and Kenzo and William realized that became more and more alert.
They know dragons have very sensitive detection sensors, they can detect other creatures from great distances, especially those that pose a major threat.
"Whoosh!!!"
In the distance at the top of the mountain in front of them which was quite a distance away, Kenzo and William were very surprised when they saw a black dragon figure shooting up into the sky very quickly.
Moments later, a black dragon measuring up to tens of meters in size suddenly swooped down and seemed to be moving towards them.
Seeing that, Kenzo and William's eyes widened, and William quickly grabbed Kenzo's wrist to hide to the side.
"This is bad, the dragon is already at level 40!" William muttered very anxiously.
"Level 40?"
Kenzo swallowed his saliva, he didn't expect to meet such a high-level creature so quickly, moreover, it was a dragon race, he knew dragons had extremely high combat abilities.
It didn't take long, the air around them suddenly became hot, and a red color began to cover the area they were in, "Damn it could it be? ..." William felt that something wasn't right.
"Master, I'm going out to check what's going on!" William jumped into the middle of the main street so he could see exactly what was going on.
"Damn, this happened!" William's eyes widened slightly when he looked up at the sky, it was in line with his prediction.
