The tiers of monsters were currently classified by experts from the intelligent races according to the level of danger they posed.
There was no great difference in overall strength between a 5th-tier King and a 4th-tier Nation-Destroying monster.
But in terms of their ability to inflict damage on groups, countries, cities, and armies, 4th-tier Nation-Destroying monsters often far surpassed 5th-tier Kings.
The study of monsters had yet to reach a complete stage.
Even now, many scholars and biologists were still researching the characteristics of monsters.
At present, classifying monsters by their level of destructive power was the most commonly used method across the continent.
Often, one could tell the scale of a monster's threat just from its name.
4th-tier Nation-Destroying: a nation-destroying disaster occurred in the absence of 5th-level adventurers.
5th-tier Nation-Destroying: a nation-destroying disaster occurred in the absence of 6th-level adventurers.
And so on. A 6th-tier Continent-Sinking monster was equivalent to a continent-sinking disaster occurring in the absence of 7th-level adventurers.
The classification was based on the monster's own tier, as well as what kind of disaster an adventuring party of the corresponding level could prevent it from causing.
By that reckoning...
The unknown monster in front of them really was terrifyingly dangerous.
However, this danger classification only corresponded roughly to the monster's tier.
The gap in strength between individual adventurers was simply too great.
Could 3rd-level Lu Cang really be the same as 3rd-level Xuzhou?
And could 6th-level Izpalut really be the same as 6th-level Fizer?
The tiers represented what was typical.
Still, it felt like there were no ordinary people once one reached 6th level.
Lu Cang thought of the 6th-level class-changers he knew.
Iz, Chicheng, Kumiloni, Obades, Pali...
Every one of them felt terrifying.
The impression that 6th level gave was utterly different from the
