MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

Though Ataraxia faintly nodded at those words, the young man in question briefly thought back to the time he spent in the Meltierre Killing Grounds.

Thanks to him informing Mystia of his intentions to grind XP beforehand, it was no surprise that the fees needed to enter the Killing Grounds were waived once more.

With preferential treatment by the establishment on top of that, the young man was able to maximize the amount of XP he gained while also working on obtaining one of the titles his other self had.

At the same time, he used the time he spent while at the Killing Grounds to assess the limits of the enemies both he and his other self could fight.

After all, unlike [Slayer of Ascendants], which only required monsters that were of increasingly higher tiers, to obtain [Apex Hunter], he would have to defeat an enemy that was at least two class ranks higher than him.

Fortunately, with a bit of questioning, Ataraxia was able to confirm that the strongest monster he and Valyr could face in the Killing Grounds was at the peak of Rank 6.

Unfortunately, unlike Valyr, though his current strength allowed him to fight against peak Rank 5 class holders without much issue, the same could not be said for beings that exceeded that level.

’...Then again, I suppose his ability in that area is mostly thanks to the firearm he forged,’ thought Ataraxia as he glanced at Valyr, recalling that the latter relied on the firearm for most of his fights against Myth-level beings.

’...Well, that and some insane buff stacking.’

”Anyways...” Dispelling his current train of thought with a shake of his head, the young man looked at his other self with a calm expression, only for a smile to appear on his face not long after.

”Shall we finally ascend?”

Hearing those words, Valyr faintly nodded, a smile slowly appearing on his face as well.

”With how much time and effort we’ve spent just to prepare for it...”

”It would be stupid for us not to.”
