[Avenger]

Defeat Revis!

Those words made Ais's grip on her sword tighten sharply.

She understood what Leo meant.

"Before, you could still greatly increase your strength through Level Ascension, surpassing Revis and suppressing her one-sidedly."

"But now, you've only just reached Lv. 6. No matter how hard you work or how many risks you take, it'll be impossible to trigger Level Ascension again in the short term, crossing such a vast gap in strength a second time to surpass that monster."

"In that situation, there is only one path you can take if you want to defeat that monster—defeat Revis."

Leo pointed it out with absolute calmness and directness.

"That is, lifting the seal on [Avenger] and releasing the tremendous power hidden within you."

But—this skill was truly dangerous.

[Avenger] was a comparatively rare skill that could be activated voluntarily, used at will, and freely turned on or off according to its user's intentions.

Generally speaking, the effects of skills were usually triggered passively. Leo's three skills—[Star Soul Eternal],

[Crossed Star Swords], and even [People of the Alien Star]—were all like that.

Only an extremely small number of skills could be actively triggered according to their holder's will, like magic.

[Avenger] was one such skill that could be activated voluntarily.

Against Dragon Species monsters, the user's attack power received an extraordinary enhancement. The degree of enhancement varied according to the user's hatred; the stronger the user's loathing, the greater the skill's effect.

Though it was merely a skill that increased attack power
