Chapter 38: Monster Tide-3

I was eagerly waiting for my level up from the battle against the tide to start. When I was training with the robot yesterday, I felt a similar sensation of power that will appear before levelling up.

But the battle is raging for ten hours now and I haven't levelled up yet. He became a bit upset because he didn't know why it is taking more time than usual to level up.

Usually, after the sensation of level up is felt, it will at max take one hour to level up. But now, more than sixteen hours have passed, but I didn't level up.

What worries me the most is I am still feeling the sensation of level-up, but only people at the corporal stage and above can control their level-ups.

If I were in the corporal stage, I could have triggered my level up as soon as I felt the sensation. But unfortunately, I am still in the specialist stage and the levelling up is out of my control.

Another hour passed and I was killing monsters below peak level specialist stage like crazy with my standard arrows. I saved my mana to use it after levelling up and I am still waiting for it.

Suddenly I felt a warm sensation passing through my entire body. I was very happy as I have been waiting for seventeen hours to feel this sensation.

I am finally levelling up. I immediately drank the high-level vitality portion I purchased from Hunter's guild. The level-up process will take ten minutes and after that, I will be in the mid-level specialist stage.

But, even after ten minutes, I still felt the sensation of levelling up. When I looked into my mana space, I see that the vitality portion is almost empty.

I immediately drank another vitality portion feeling excited and happier than before. I am double levelling up. I will skip the mid-level specialist stage and go directly to the high-level specialist stage.

Double level-up is not impossible, but very rare that only one in a crore will get the opportunity and it will also happen only once in a lifetime.

I am really happy that I get to be one of the luckiest people to have a double level up. I drank the third high-level vitality portion and also the low-level vitality portion provided by the military.

Now I do not have any vitality portions with me. I have to wait till the military sends another batch of twenty vitality portions to me. I drank it all as I read that a double level up will absorb more than three times normal vitality.

I also took the low-level mana portions and kept them ready in case the level-up started to use my mana from storage cylinders. I currently have 92% full in my storage cylinders.

Even after another ten minutes, I was still feeling the sensation of levelling up. I looked into the mana space and that the vitality portions are almost used up.

Next, the level-up will use the mana from my storage cylinders. My first trainer Sergeant Bones said to me once that we should provide all the vitality or mana that we could off while levelling up as every vitality and mana used while levelling up will increase our body and soul strength which will increase our battle power.

The levelling-up process started to take away mana from my storage cylinders. I immediately drank the nabs portion provided by the military and started operating my mana purifier more vigorously than before.

The level-up process continued for another ten minutes making it a total of thirty minutes. No one around me disturbed me sensing me levelling up.

I have used three high-level and one low-level vitality portion and also five low-level mana portions in this thirty minutes just to level up.

Once the level-up was completed, I was in utter shock. Not just me, everyone near me stopped shooting arrows and watched me. Most of them with jealousy in their eyes.

I have not just double-levelled up, I jumped an entire stage by doing a stage level-up.

If a double level-up happens to one in one crore people, a stage level-up happens to one in five crore people and it happened to me.

People will have jealous because of this. When I felt the power inside me, I was in utter disbelief as my power has risen ten times than my previous power.

Now I am in the Low-Level Corporal Stage. I can start controlling my level up whenever I want if I have enough energy to do it.

They indeed say that after the specialist stage, every level up for a stage will double the battle power.

Since I did a stage level up from the low-level specialist stage to the low-level corporal stage, my body power and soul power have increased by ten times.

Now I can start learning proper skills and start using them in battles which will increase my battle power even more.

I stood up and started shooting arrows from my bow with new strength. I also felt less pain when circulating mana exercise now due to my new power.

I did not stop circulating the mana exercise while levelling up and now I am currently circulating the eighth move in the sixth set. I have six mana seals in my mana space now.

This also increased my battle power and I am confident that I will be able to create a vitality seal before the battle ends.

Once I complete forming eight mana seals in my mana space, the eight seals will combine to form a vitality seal. It will increase the power provided by the eight seals by five times.

It will be a big boost for me in my strength. Since I am in the corporal stage, If I look into my mana purifier, I can see a few additional cylinders in it, plus I will be able to concentrate and go into mine and Serina's source to check the level of our ability.

But I can't do that now as we are in the middle of a battle. It is important to win the defence battle first before looking into the source. I controlled myself and focused on the battle at hand.
