Novel Full Chapter 440 Makings Of A True Elite
“Yes?” Responding to Valyr’s question, Zeik looked back at the young man, now with confusion written all over his face. “I may not have a Mythic class of my own, but I’m pretty confident that you would be able to fight against Rank 4 monsters without worry.”
“I mean…” Seeing that Zeik was adamant that he had the capabilities to fight against Rank 4 monsters, Valyr became silent and decided to give it some thought, scratching the back of his head every once in a while. “I guess there’s some truth to the matter.”
“Though, I’m pretty sure I’ll only be able to fight against Rank 4 Elite monsters at most before I begin to be at a disadvantage against them.” Comparing his own stats to the stats of some of the Rank 4 monsters he had faced in the past, Valyr eventually gave Zeik an answer, though it was still more or less in the realm of uncertainty.
After all, there were a couple of reasons why he was uncertain. For one, he was comparing his current combat prowess to the Rank 4 monsters he had fought in the past, which he had fought against with lower stats than what he had right now. And second…
He had not fought against any Rank 4 monster yet.
“Is that so?” Raising his eyebrow in curiosity as a couple of thoughts popped up in his mind, Zeik decided to leave the matter be, shifting the topic to something else as they eventually made their way to one of the outpost’s official exits.
…
“Which site are we going to head to? There’s like nine sites here.” Near one of the official exits, Valyr and Zeik stood in front of what seemed to be a giant map outlining the entire territory surrounding Point Caelion. On the map were landmarks that showed where Point Caelion and the surrounding outposts was, as well as landmarks that outlined the various sites people could enter to fight against monsters and gain combat experience.
“I think Site 7 would be a good choice.” Looking at the map for a good while, Valyr eventually made his decision, taking note of the general level of monsters within the site, as well as their tier. “Not only are the monsters there at a level where it would be somewhat challenging to fight them, but the monsters in Site 7 are all Elite tier monsters as well, with some being Uncommon Elite tier.”
“Think of it as my warm-up before proceeding to the other sites… and possibly other points as well.” Noticing that Valyr had a confident smile on his face as he gave his suggestion, Zeik thought that the young man had probably thought about the ideal site for quite some time, possibly taking into consideration multiple variables in order to achieve optimal efficiency.
However, what went on in Valyr’s mind was frankly the exact opposite of that.
He knew that if he wanted to, he could head to the last site of Point Caelion and not have a problem fighting against the monsters there. After all, he had already fought against monsters that had stats on par or greater than those at Level 55, the same level at which the monsters at the final site were at. Aside from that, he also fought against monsters at Legendary Elite and Mythic Elite and became victorious, which the monsters at the final site were only Rare Elite tier at most.
If anything, the reason why he decided to head to Site 7 was to see whether or not he could upgrade one of his titles.
‘[Signs of a True Elite],’ Valyr thought to himself. ‘The last time I tried to upgrade the title, I was in an Experience Pit back in Clossbay City. The level gap that I needed to upgrade the title was already there, but because the monsters I fought against were all normal monsters, the title couldn’t upgrade.’
‘I should really thank that staff person for reminding me about the Akashic Battlefield.’ Recalling that specific staff person back then in the Experience Pit that suggested him to go to one, Valyr inwardly thanked the man before proceeding to head through the official exit, with Zeik following him as they made their way to Point Caelion’s Site 7.
…
“Let’s stop here for now.” Noticing a small sea of monsters appearing from their field of horizon Valyr quickly stopped in his tracks as he reminded himself of the curse he had. Of course, with the young man stopping all of a sudden, Zeik had to stop as well, looking at the young man with slight confusion.
“What are we going to do here?” Though they were already within the territory designated as Site 7, Zeik did not understand why they had to be so far away from the monsters Valyr would have to kill. “Do you have to take a break or something?”
“Nah. I just wanted to confirm something.” Telling his escort to be quiet, Valyr pushed his perception to its utmost limits, simultaneously activating the hyperfocus ability of [Gambler’s Discerning Eyes] to get a better look at the monsters he would be up against. Activating [Greater Analysis] every so often, it took a while for the young man to find the monster he wanted to fight against, bitterly smiling as a thought popped up into his mind.
‘I overlooked the fact that the monsters would be one tier stronger than they originally are under the curse.’
‘Fortunately, there are still some normal monsters among them.’

Thud.
Taking a few steps forward that allowed the normal Metallic Centipede to be within a hundred meters from Valyr, the Metallic Centipede soon gained a crimson haze around its head as it turned to look at the young man, its aura undergoing a swift increase in power.
Then, empowered by the increase in strength, the enraged Metallic Centipede swiftly slithered towards the duo, prompting Zeik to alert Valyr of the rogue monster heading their way as he noticed the centipede charging up a ball of energy of sorts.
However, before the centipede could even be within 20 meters from Valyr…
