North York Moors National Park was teeming with monsters of high levels. The lowest level monster was a level 34 Hobgoblin, while the highest I've seen is a level 48 Orc. Needless to say that grinding was effortless, before at level 10 with berserk I had managed to beat a Level 67 boss monster, let alone now. I don't even need Berserk to power through these small fry.
With the Battle Intent I was able to improve my lower stats as these 'high' level monsters were much higher than me in these stats.
I found if I fight a monster with a focus on a stat I am low in it will rise significantly when I absorb the orb. For example a monster with focus on agility, as it's Agility is much higher than mine I get a lot of agility after beating it but the same can't be said for Strength as there are not many monsters with higher strength than the current me.
It also seems that something is unlocked every 10 levels. At level 10 it was a class, at level 20 it was Affinities. After grinding to level 30 I unlocked a sub-class, although it isn't like the Main class. You can choose to make your main class your sub class and vice versa. And you get to pick between multiple sub-classes. My current options are...
Sub-Class OptionsHeretic KingLeader of the Heretics. Destined to lead the Heretics to purge Heaven.Immortal KingKing of the Immortals. A Immortal with special abilities suited for controlling/leading the other ImmortalsSorcerorA class specialized in Spirit Magic. Originating from Celtic Ireland.SynergistA transmutation artist. Crafting Class.Unholy MasterMaster of the unholy arts, and natural enemy to those who follow the Gods. Specializes in Forbidden Magic....
Currently I am debating mentally inside what sub-class I should pick. Any of the Forbidden grade ones I would probably switch to my main class and put Blood Demon King as the Sub class.
I decide I'm in no rush to select a sub-class so I sideline it for the moment. I continued my grinding. We continued without interruption until I was level 38, Julie was 35, Fen was 31 and Jen was 36. Julie picked a sub-class focusing on Illusion magic, while Jen picked one focused on Wind Magic (Gases), and since Fen is a pet she doesn't get anything new till her rank up at Level 50.
We were interrupted as we heard an adventuring party walking nearby in the park. We decide to listen in on them.
"Bro are you sure that there is a dungeon in this shitty park? It looks pretty barren except for some powerful monsters."
"I told you there was a dungeon here, are you doubting me you prick?"
"No, No of course not. So where is it?"
"First things first. Oi you can come out now!"
Both us and his party are surprised, though for different reasons.
"Haha, so you detected us? No matter I can get that dungeon information out of you a different way."
I quickly checked their info. Everyone except for the one who detected us is in the Level 30's while the head honcho is level 41, with a unique class of Gunslinger to boot. Pretty obvious his weapon of choice though.
"Pretty cocky for a kid who hasn't even reached level 40 yet! Let's end this quickly."
I was curious as to how he knew I wasn't Level 40 yet, but no matter. I quickly drew my staff and began my charge. I signalled Julie to cast some Illusions to frighten and confuse the enemy if even for a little bit.
I collided with the party's vanguard quickly and demolished his shield. My strength after 10 level ups is truly tyrannical.

The guy's arm was broken along with his shield and swept against a shield, unknown whether alive or dead. Seeing that the rest of the party began to become scared. The gunslinger quickly shot a couple of shots. My 450 Fortification reduced the damage from those shots but they still stung. Suddenly one of the bullets I thought I had dodged suddenly curved and was once again aiming at me. What the fuck!? What is this Wanted!? Shit! Suddenly I had a 'bright' idea as I was already running and had the momentum, I quickly did a dolphin dive, causing the bullet to narrowly miss.
The dive was right in the direction of the Gunslinger. Soon I was upon and a swift jab to the wrist was enough to stop his combat ability. Seeing their strongest member rendered useless the rest began begging for mercy. I swiftly gave them 'mercy'.
All in all besides Cap'n Gunslinger here I had killed 6 people. I was just a short but away from the upgrade to my staff.
I approached Cap'n. "So do you want me to use my 'other' method to get the dungeon information, or do you want to tell me now? FYI the 'other' method has proven to be extremely painful. Your choice."
"Fuck, fuck, fuck! I'll tell you alright! About 2 miles ahead of us there is a delapidated hut, under the bed is a hatch, leading to a cellar, now turned dungeon. Now can you let me go!?" Sounds truthful, but no chances taken right? I grabbed his head, fear showing in his eyes.
"Memory Analysis!" Yada Yada, daily life, what he did after the collapse... Ah here we go! Dungeon! It seems he wasn't entirely truthful. Although the dungeon was where he said it was, he forgot to mention that there was a big beastie guarding the entrance.
Oh well that's what this was for.
I quickly crushed his head like a melon under my grasp. My dexterity got a sizable boost from this poor fellow.
Well time to set off I guess.
