Chapter 922: Benefit Of Strength



"Haaa..."

Rey stood amidst the wreckage of the battlefield, his chest heaving as he caught his breath.

The acrid scent of burnt flesh still hung in the air, and the ground was littered with the remains of the Monsters he had singlehandedly defeated. His fingers twitched slightly as he opened his Status Window, eager to see the results of his efforts.

His lips curved into a satisfied smirk as he took in the sight of his increased Level.

Reaching Level 35 was an impressive feat, but his eyes lingered on the EXP percentage, now crawling upward at a much slower rate.

"The higher I go, the harder it gets," Rey muttered to himself, his voice tinged with both frustration and determination.

"Stronger foes, huh? Guess I'll just have to hunt bigger fish."

That wasn't the only thing that went through his mind, however. One good look at his Status Window showed that he had acquired two Exclusive Skills-Skills that belonged to a certain Grand Mage of H'Trae.

Respect."

Rey chuckled softly. "Thanks. Guess I got lucky."

Tess shook her head.

"Luck had nothing to do with it. But right now, we've got something important to do."

Rey raised an eyebrow. "Important?"

"Monster Cores," Tess said, pointing at the scattered remains of the defeated creatures.

"Especially from the Boss Monster. Those Cores are valuable-like, insanely valuable. The sentinels' Cores are worth a lot too, and even the Scouts' Cores back there have some value, though not as much."

Rey blinked in surprise. "Monster Cores? You mean those things inside their chests?"

Tess nodded. "Exactly. They're a power source, and they're used for all kinds of things- fueling weapons, enhancing equipment, even research. A Core from a King Monster like that? It could fetch a fortune... and besides, HQ needs as many resources as possible." Rey glanced at the Monster King's charred remains and the sentinels littering the area. He'd never considered the value of Monster Cores on Earth.

On H'Trae, such resources were rare and guarded fiercely.

"This world isn't so different after all," he murmured to himself, smiling faintly.

"You should rest up," Tess added. "You've done more than enough. We'll handle the

harvesting."

Rey started to protest. "I can help-"

"No," Tess interrupted firmly. "Sit. Rest. You've been through hell, and you've earned a

break."

Rey relented, settling onto a nearby rock and watching as the team began their work. They moved methodically, extracting the Cores with practiced precision.

As he observed, a wave of understanding washed over him. The hierarchy of strength and the rewards that came with it were universal. No matter the world, the strong were respected, admired, and treated differently.

A small smile tugged at the corners of his lips. "Being strong makes life a lot easier."

He leaned back, letting himself relax for the first time in what felt like hours. This world

might have its challenges, but with his strength growing steadily, Rey felt confident that he could carve out his place in it.

As the team continued to harvest the Cores, Rey's gaze drifted toward the horizon, where the

faint glow of dawn was beginning to break.

A new day was coming, and with it, new opportunities to rise even higher.
