Field Boss Encounter: Gaining New Power

Despite Justin's playful remark, a heavy silence followed. Both the gnolls and his companions seemed unable to comprehend the sight of the fallen gnoll warrior, whose head bore a gaping wound.

As Justin shrugged and was about to speak again, a system message interrupted him.

"Ding ! You have successfully hunted the Field Boss 'Gnoll Warrior' alone."

"Ding ! As a solo hunting bonus, you have gained additional experience points."

"Ding ! Your level has increased significantly. You have reached level 20."

"Ding ! The exclusive skill for Dark Warlocks [Cursed Lightning] has been added."

"...!"

Justin couldn't believe his luck. Up until now, he had managed to reach level 13 by hunting gnolls. Yet, this single hunt had boosted his level by 7 in one go. Considering how slow leveling had become after reaching level 10, this was an immense gain of experience points.
