"Hero? No, leader. Epic."
Shi Li held the Orc leader's head, and a sudden feeling rose within him.
He seemed to understand what a Hero should do. He even understood how to become a leader.
Shi Li raised the Orc leader's head high and impaled it onto one of the ram horns on his helmet.
The leader's head was stuck on the horn just like that, making Shi Li look as though he had grown another head.
It looked rather strange, but with that alone, Shi Li was set apart from the other Evil Blood Skeleton Soldiers.
At the same time, Gu Xi, who had been watching from the rear, could sense that Shi Li had made a grand vow for himself.
If Shi Li had chosen to become a Hero just now, he would already have succeeded.
But the head he had severed belonged to a Chief-level enemy, giving Shi Li a chance to advance toward the Chief level.
That alone would have been fine. Given Shi Li's circumstances, challenging the Chief level was nothing extraordinary.
After all, he was wearing a piece of Orange Equipment. That was his opportunity.
Yet Shi Li had shouted, "Epic."
With that, Shi Li had set his sights on the Epic level.
If Shi Li did not meet the standards for Epic-level, he would not count as a true Hero. He could only be considered something half-soldier, half-Hero.
To take that step, he still had a long road ahead of him.
Gu Xi could not help but shake his head at Shi Li's path.
What was this guy thinking? He could have simply become a Hero, yet he had turned around and decided to challenge the Epic level.
At this rate, he would be stuck in this state for a very long time.
