Atlas broke into a sprint down the hillside, the blistering heat of the scorched earth burning through the soles of his bare feet. He couldn't afford even a heartbeat of distraction. One misstep could send him tumbling dangerously close to the glowing river of magma below. A fall like that wouldn't end with bruises, it would be fatal.
[Name: Atlas Blackthorn]
[Level: 44]
[Strength: 170 | Agility: 94 | Intelligence: 49 | Constitution: 68 | Stamina: 75]
Though he had reached level 44, his stats were still fairly unremarkable. Altogether, he had 456 stat points. Kurogasa, on the other hand, stood at level 55 and commanded an overwhelming 788 stat points.
The gap between them wasn't just significant, it was vast. With numbers like that, Kurogasa's power edged close to that of a level 78 fighter. It was a glaring reminder of just how wide the gulf was between them.
