Reidar spread the first nine kills across the cities he searched on his way to Kilovar. Reidar couldn't avoid the Ignis entirely, despite him trying and wanting to, not when they were patrolling the ruins where Mara might be hiding.
So he fought them, and that brought him to Level 530.
He wasn't the strongest thing on this planet. The titans in the cities were far beyond him, and most likely he hadn't even seen it all. But he was strong enough to handle most threats now, at least the average ones. Strong enough to survive long enough to find Mara.

Reidar stood and looked out over the city.
Kilovar stretched for miles in every direction, with ruins packed so densely that navigating them required constant attention. The Sky-Hunters had mapped most of the city, but there were still sections they hadn't fully explored—dark zones where the ash was too thick to even see past 2 meters or where the monsters were too aggressive to risk sending scouts.
