Awakening

"Are you sure, Master?"

Celestina hugged her arms and gazed at the red sword stuck into the ground with obvious fear in her eyes. After the battle ended, Rhode didn't instantly return to the Land of Atonement using the teleportation door. Instead, he returned to the underground fortress with the Bow Knights. Although his "purpose" was to investigate the Chaos Beings, there was also another important matter—grinding EXP.

Although he couldn't repeatedly train in dungeons just like in the game, it was entirely different here. The battle in the afternoon had raised his EXP bar to almost half and he could level up if he attempted it again. Moreover, the spawn of the devils was endless, which was the best source of EXP for him right now.
