Astrael's blade carved through the beast's scaled neck in one final, decisive strike. The reptilian beast collapsed in a heap, its blood steaming faintly against the earth.
Astrael breathed heavily as he flicked crimson droplets off his blade before sliding it back into the sheath.
Clawdia padded over, her paws stained with streaks of gore, tail high in satisfaction. She gave the corpse one disdainful swat before returning to Astrael's side.
Then, the familiar sound rang in his head—
[Ding!]
[You have acquired the soul energy of Level 24 Forest Scaled Ravage]
[+21,600 EXP]
[Congratulations to the host for reaching level 25.]
[You get 2 status points to distribute freely]
[Ding!]
[You have reached Level 25.]
[Congratulations, Host. You have reached the current limit of your growth.]
