The Supreme Level Up System-Chapter 249 Finally

"The more people know about me, the more likely that they will target her, even if she has a powerful relic on her side and she can fight as well. The opposite is also true. The less the enemies know about me, they will have even more reasons to target her," Aion said. "In any other scenario, I wouldn't mind that you guys have such habits. However, if something happens, and I connect the dots to your little archive, then I will find your base and trash everything in there."

"I understand your worries, but that isn't the real issue. Besides, I think you are a little too overprotective about your mother," Sauros said. "She perhaps has even more talent with magic than you since she only uses that, and now that she has an item that negates magic effects, she will be free to attack or defend herself. The real issue is that you are at the center of many things, and while you are trying to help your mother, you are making many enemies and writing your name in big letters in the history of this world. Defeating Horis, the immortal, when you were only ten. Defeating the three heroes West of your territory when you were only eleven…. You might not understand that, but when you think and act about protecting her, you are putting her in more danger. I was planning to let you realize that by yourself, but…"

Aion furrowed his eyebrows in anger, but Sauros didn't turn his eyes to the side this time. It wasn't like he couldn't understand that completely, but it felt more like bullshit than anything…

"I mentioned abilities like mind reading and mind control, but there are also people in history that had the power to steal the knowledge and even the abilities of others. For people like them who can't travel through time freely, you are the perfect target," Sauros said. "Your rage is justified, but you need to understand that I can do so much when it comes to going against the teachings of my family."

Aion didn't like to repeat himself, so he just sighed and decided to forget the topic. He will cross that bridge when that time comes if it comes. No point in keeping wondering about it, so he just moved to face the next monster that was approaching.

Once the monster approached, Aion used Sonic Throw, and when the beast blocked the attack with one of its pawns, Aion changed his class and then punched the forehead of the creature with all his might. The monk class was still focused on strength, so it quickly cracked the skull of the beast. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

When the next monster approached, Aion did the same thing again. He did that several times until he could feel his muscles getting tired due to his low stamina. Once that happened, Aion tried to heal his muscles in a different way to recover his stamina… nothing worked. Relaxing the muscles didn't help, nor did cooling them down.

In the end, Aion didn't have much time to try much since Sauros and Seris showed up in a while… it seems that he wasn't going to learn how to recover stamina anytime soon.

In the next few days, Aion didn't make much progress with that either. That being said, the group didn't face many setbacks when facing the monsters and clearing the map of that area. Sauros' rune and Aion's increase in strength sure helped with that.

"It seems that we found it…" Seris said when the group found a small ice door ahead of them that had some gravures on it.

"It seems so… still, the last room where the core is supposed to be is emitting a lot of cold," Sauros said while furrowing his eyebrows. "I can't see anything beyond the door either, and it feels like it is dark beyond it."

"It must be the effect of some illusion magic or perhaps even darkness magic…" Seris said. "The door probably can easily open once we touch it, but leaving will be another matter without killing the guardian."

"In that case, we should prepare for all possibilities while resting for a while as well," Sauros said. "This is probably the sixteenth or seventeenth day inside the labyrinth, so we don't need to hurry, right? Aion?"

"You guys should take your time thinking of ways to survive the enemy. I am ready to face the guardian already," Aion said.

Although he said that the lancer class only reached level fifty-five and the refinement of the spear was at level 95 with plenty of materials for him to absorb. He also would benefit from waiting for a while longer.

"In that case, let's rest for a day. By then, I will be able to use my blood rune at its full power," Sauros declared.

Aion walked away a bit to the last spot he met the monsters, and once again, it was another part where the path split into three. Using the Necromancer class would be faster to kill the monsters, but he kept using the lancer class.

"Almost twenty days here… and I didn't make much progress at Force Release… I thought that I was on the right path, but I guess I was wrong," Aion thought.

When it comes to healing and support magic, Aion was unable to make them work one after the other or at the same time, so that was why he didn't make any progress…

It wasn't like something like Inner Force was developed in a day, but Aion sure hoped that he would wrap things up before they reached the last part of the labyrinth…

"Should I change my approach again?" Aion rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "I also need to learn how to restore stamina…"

Aion felt like sighing, and then he had an idea… it seemed too simple to be true, but what if he healed his lungs or tried to at least to activate them in some way with mana? As it turned out… that finally worked.
