Back to Earthen Core City
Souta turned back into his normal form. He fell on his knees and spat a mouthful of blood.
This battle gave him an idea of his real strength. Two S-rank experts had died in his hands today, and it was enough for him. If another S-rank expert appeared, he wouldn't be able to fight back.
Fighting two S-ranks was his current limit.
But he will get stronger in the future. The mastery of his Archetype was still low, so he had the potential to rival those shackled realm experts with his current evolution.
The Archetype will be one of his foundations in the future. Saya was right; this was his foundation for reaching the monster lord. Although he had the system, he didn't need to rely on it as he couldn't level up Archetype using points.
He would practice later and improve his strength to the point that he didn't need his equipment skills to fight the S-rank experts.
