625, step 23

Corrosion pierced through two worlds, and an endless stream of decay fell into the real world, forming a vast swamp.

Charles and his Sacred level subordinates, one after another, detached from the other world and returned to reality. They looked upon the swamp that exuded extreme stench and decay, and many could hardly believe they had been battling this abomination for more than a year.

The Elephant-man Agon suddenly let out a sky-piercing roar. The Sacred level fighters under Charles's command followed suit, bellowing their victory. Even Charles himself couldn't help but let out a long, victorious howl. As he did, the power within him resonated unrestrainedly dozens of times before he gathered his strength and finally burst through that last barrier.

Charles's power in the human world broke through to the twenty-third level!

He was now second only to the peak among the Sacred level.
