Chapter 749: No longer a girl

Duke Runak's smile stretched from ear to ear in a wild manner as he envisioned himself fighting against a being at the S-rank, the very peak of the mortal world.

He was so close to reaching that realm, his wounds, duties and lack of knowledge all held him back at the last step, a bottleneck.

A grand battle however, one that would really test his limits and endanger his life could be the spark he needed to shatter the wall and ascend.

Icethorne and the War Ursa Battalion were under great threat, the possibility of annihilation being very high yet at the same time it was an opportunity. People always improve the most while under unprecedented pressure.

C-ranks could climb to B-rank, Majors and Colonels to A-rank Generals and longstanding powerhouses like Katrina and Jessica could reach his level, the peak of A-rank.

This war was a catalyst, a gift that would see his Battalion rise to the very peak or fall in disgrace, there was no third option.
