Death Mage with an SS-Rank Talent-Chapter 252

Aaron’s life at the fort was not different from what he experienced at the academy, except for the fact that he had to live with some fourth-year students.

They didn’t bother with him, as they saw him as a weak one, who came here not because he was qualified, but on recommendation. They knew that the academy would not send someone who was a waste to places like these.

The last bastion fell less than a year ago, but it was recovered again, but before that was done, the regions surrounding the last bastion saw a lot of human losses. It was only three months ago that the situation stabilised.

Two months after the situation stabilised, Aaron arrived at the place.

Some didn’t like his presence here, but they didn’t act impulsively. They are not idiots to not see what is happening. Someone in a high position clearly favoured him. If not, why would he be here?

Moreover, they understood that while he might be weaker than them, he should have crossed the limit of his peers. That was the only reason they could think of why he was here.

The boy is a genius, and that was confirmed when he completed the required quota for the month, even though his was lower than what the fourth-year students had to fulfil.

Seeing the results, it caused a few to be envious of his talents, but none made a move, even when they were outside.

The area outside the fort is volatile, and it can burn them too if they are not careful.

It was not at all similar to how it was in the wilds inside of alliance-controlled lands. This side is purely wild and volatile, and no one can control the outcome, which means even the chances of them dying would be very high if they act, even if they plan properly.

Also, they understood how the world works. Even the strongest just can’t snap their fingers to make things go their way, especially in times like this. So, they didn’t make any moves, but that doesn’t mean they accepted him either.

Most remained neutral, which was what Aaron was comfortable with.

He was not interested in making friends during his stay here either. What he wanted to achieve was levels and Ranks. In these troubled times, it would be better for him and his family if he could reach Rank-6 as soon as possible.

Once at that rank, the threat quantity would be reduced, and he could have a slow life like he envisioned, or so he thought.

He knew that there was a slight chance that it might not be possible, not after meeting that skeleton king, but he could only hope so.

Another month had passed since he arrived at the fort. This month, there were quite a few changes in his status.

This time, Aaron ventured further into the wild, increasing his killings. He knew that these monsters might one day attack the fort where he was staying, but before that happened, he intended to reduce their numbers as much as possible.

This was because no one at the fort thought that he was so powerful. So, he would be forced to face low-ranking monsters, which would give him a very low amount of EXP, which would be of no use at this stage.

He is in need of large amounts of EXP to reach the next rank.

So, he slowly increased the number of monsters he killed, and at the same time, increased the levels of the monsters that he killed.

This made it possible for him to gain a total of 150 levels, which made him reach level 850, which is only another 150 levels away from reaching level 1000, which is the ending level for Rank-4. Once he was level 1000, he would get a Rank-5 promotion mission, and he could reach a rank that was considered Elite by the Alliance.

Even though there are thousands of awakeners, there are not that many who have reached Rank-5.

A thousand levels and completing the promotion mission at that level would not be easy to achieve.

Aaron estimates that in two or three months, as long as he gets the chance to complete the Rank-5 promotion mission, he will become Rank-5.

Even though he gained 150 levels in a month, he was not sure that he could repeat the same in the next month. The reason was that if he collided with higher-level monsters, he would attract attention, possibly from both sides.

Aaron was not dumb, and neither was the Alliance.

A fight would leave a trace, and one who was experienced in combat can easily estimate what happened on a battlefield by examining it. They can tell whether it was a Human Vs Human or Monster Vs Monster or Human Vs Monster.

There are many who can even tell what type of monster was involved, and even the profession of the human involved in the fight.

The decreased monsters in the vicinity might have alerted the higher-ups.

Normally, a decreased number of monsters should be seen as a positive thing, but not when a war is still ongoing. At this time, it would be considered bad.

The retreat might be because of a possible attack in the near future.
