Chapter 351: Tier 5
Rudra stood beside Patricia who started to explain the situation to him in a hushed voice. The gist of the explanation was that Hazelgroove kingdom had been shrinking in size for far too long because of a lack of strong figures within its forces.
Only with Emperor Cervantez’s grandfather did the situation start to stabilize , with him being a tier 4 powerhouse.
The current power structure of the continent was such …. Tier 4 was the generally the top of the power chain that ruled the country. With only 3 tier 5 existances in the entire nothern continent. One was the Lizardman king Atlas.
The other was the Archmage Gandalf
The third was the great mercenary Heracles.
And now the fourth one to join the club was Emperor Cervantez of Hazelgroove.
A tier one existance was considered to be superhuman , he could take on ten normal tier 0 men alone. And could be considered a monster among men.
A tier two existance could wipe out villages overnight if he wanted to. Tier one and zero enemies would fall to his superior strength like flies , and would not be able to mount proper resistance.
A tier 2 soldier could easily wipe out about 100 tier one soldiers and about 10,000 tier 0 soldiers.
A tier 3 existance was a step even beyond. Being able to wipe entire towns alone. Strong enough to punch holes in concrete with bare fists and with destructive skills far beyond other tier one and tier 2 players. They were usually the uppermost class of any society.
Nobles , Lieutenants , commanders , leaders of mercenary groups etc. A tier three existance could take on 100 tier 2 existances alone and take on 10,000 tier one existances alone , while tier 0 were mere ants not worth mentioning.
The change between tier 3 and tier 4 then was massive , from tier 4 onwards you are a player on the world stage. The world takes note of you and your combat prowess , fame and fortune are no longer things of value.
A single tier four existance can wipe out proper cities and wreak havoc on any battlefield they step foot on. However there are two ways to be promoted to tier 4 and the outcome of both are very different from one another.
The power mentioned before is true only for those who naturally climbed the ranks to reach tier 4.
Due to natural talent constraints , many don’t make it to becoming tier 4 ever in their life. However at the peak of tier 3 ( level 210 and above) , there is a shortcut to reach tier 4!
Although one would only be half as good as a naturally ascended , they would still be much better than a tier 3 player , it was called forced ascension , through a special ceremony , that had a 10% chance of success.
Much of those who ascended to tier 4 , like Rahim and Patricia are such people.
However taking the shortcut to tier 4 would , mean that one could never progress further , it was akin to stagnating your strength forever. Trading your lifetime of potential for a short boost of strength.
Such people could never ascend to tier 5. However because of the difficulty of tier promotion , it had become a common trend for these tier 4 halflings to become the norm in the world and Cervantez was assumed to be one such half ascended as well. However him progressing to tier 5 meant that he was a naturally ascended. It gave everyone present here goosebumps regarding his true strength.
Naturally a tier 5 existance is stronger than tier 4 existance , by how much exactly , noone knows. But it is the peak of mortal ranks. The highest realm of power , below the gods.
The mystery of tier 5 was that , the method of promotion was a huge secret. Nobody who reached the ranks would speak about it , what was the test ? Who governed the promotion? Nobody knew.
Some say that tier 5 existances can wipe out kingdoms …. But noone knows for sure as those who ascend to this realm keep their powers a secret.
Naturally , the biggest kingdom in the nothern continent currently is the Lizardman kingdom ruled by Atlas. Because of his status as a tier 5 king.
However the dynamic of power was about to shift now that another ruler reached this realm.
The difficulty of reaching tier 5 was unreal.
At level 30 one could attempt tier promotion
Double the level requirement and difficulty and you could attempt tier 2 at level 60 .
Double it again and you have tier 3 at 120
And yet again and you have tier 4 at 240
Now sit and imagine what it is like to be tier 5 at level 480 … Or the final ascension of tier 6 at level 1000!
Just the stats of a unprompted peak tier 4 entity at level 400 or more should be absolutely Monstrous. Yet noone knows the boost that one recieves with promoting to tier 5. Is the stats doubled? Tripled , five times?
Just HOW STRONG WAS CERVANTEZ RIGHT NOW?
Nervous sweat dripped down the necks of the courtiers as Cervantez casually increased the pressure of his aura. Will their kingdoms be safe?
They started to remind themselves of all the transgressions , happening over the years , past grudges with the kingdom , and personal relationship with the Emperor.
Those with a good relationship rejoiced at the occasion , while those who challenged his authority in the past now trembled in fear.
After explaining all this to Rudra Patricia silently said to him ” Our time as a small kingdom has came to an end …. It’s time to show the weak one’s who the boss is “.
A sinister smile spread on Rudra’s lips as he looked towards the nervous emmisaries. It seemed like buisness was about to boom! There was only one way to get super rich and super powerful in a short time … And that was war! And Rudra welcomed it with open arms.
