Ryder finished drawing the characters and looked up to Devilia, but he only saw the weird look on her face.

"Why do you look so strange?" Ryder asked as he looked at her.

"Of course, I would look strange! These are the exact same symbols that were on the spear of the Death Emperor! The Spear that the girl was using should be the Life Devouring Spear of the Death Emperor. That explains why the Moon Scythe reacted. It's a good thing that you weren't harmed by the spear," She said in full seriousness as she stared at the symbols on the ground.

"Oh? Does that mean the girl is the daughter of the Death Emperor?" Ryder inquired.

"No. It doesn't make sense," Devilia let out with a frown.

"What doesn't make sense? It's clear that she is the daughter of the Death Emperor who inherited the Life Devouring Spear," Ryder replied to her.

"The Death Emperor is dead! And he doesn't have a daughter, but a son! His son is the current ruler of the Death Domain. He would be the one who has the Life Devouring Spear; I don't get why the girl has the spear,"

"As far as I know, the girl that has a Lightning Soul Body doesn't have any relation to the Royal Family of the Death Domain," Devilia let out with a confused look on her face.

"Something really strange is going on in the Death Domain," She said as she looked in the distant horizon.

"Let's go back. It's not safe for you to stay here," She told Ryder as he held his hand.

"Wait! I still have 5 days left. I don't want to go back yet. I want to get stronger, and I can only achieve that by staying here," Ryder straight away denied her suggestion as he stepped back.

Devilia looked at him for a brief moment before she smiled.

"Alright. You can stay here, but I'll stay with you," She said, smiling.

"Suit yourself," He replied, without the least bit of opposition to her suggestion.

He knew that she would not leave now that the Death Domain was involved in the picture.

He didn't want her to leave either. Although he wasn't afraid of the girl from the Death Domain, he was indeed worried that the girl might come back with backup. Devilia could stay here and protect him.

"Good. Anyway, why do you want to stay here? How do you get stronger by staying here?" Devilia inquired as she glanced at him.

She didn't know about the level and XP system.

"I want to strengthen my skills, and they only get stronger when I kill living beings with them. The more I kill, the stronger my skills get," Ryder replied to her. He wasn't a hundred percent honest, though.

"Ohhh, So you hunt here to strengthen your skills? The stronger the skills, the stronger the person. That's quite an interesting magic," She said in surprise.

"You can help me in a fight if you like. Just don't kill the beasts," Ryder smilingly said.

"Nah, It looks like too much work. You can have fun," Devilia said casually.

'Oh right, Now that I think about it, that's quite possible. If I can get them to defeat and capture strong beasts for me, then I will just have to deal the finishing blow, and it'll rain experience points,' Ryder suddenly realized as he thought of an idea.

"Hey Devilia, Can you capture the strongest beast for me? It would be better if you defeat it as well, just don't kill it. I want to test something," Ryder let out as he looked at Devilia.

"Huh? Do you really want me to do that?" She asked.

"Yup. It's really important to me," Ryder said.

"Alright. Since you insist, I'll do it for you this once," She nodded her head and flew away like lightning.

'It's going to be so amazing. I'm going to get so many points. With just one beast, I might even reach level 100. Getting to level 200 is possible as well,' Ryder thought as a grin formed on his face.

He could already imagine the shock on the faces of the people when the level rankings would be unlocked.

While others would be in the 20s, he would be on Level 100. No one would dare to attack him for his bracelet then.

'If everything goes like last time, the level ranking will be unlocked in about 1 month when the 10000th player reaches level 10,' He thought.

Ryder was still lost in thought when something big came from the sky. It felt as if the ground was shaking as soon as that thing touched the ground.

It was a 50-meter long dragon that looked similar to the dragon that had killed Ryder on his last timeline, but it seemed much stronger than that one.

Soon after, Devilia landed on top of the beast as well.

"It's the Mighty Grapin Dragon. I think this little guy would be the strongest one here. I already beat the crap out of it, and it should be in its last breath. You can use your skill to kill it," Devilia said with a bright smile as she came down from the dragon.

The dragon was bleeding in a lot of places, and his eyes were closed, but it was still breathing.

"She's so strong," Ryder exclaimed in amazement as he admired Devilia.

He was sure that even if he was a level 200 player, he would need a big party to subdue a dragon like that, and she did this like it was a child's play.

'Just how strong is she?' He wondered as he looked at her.

"Hurry. Dragons have a great healing. Deal the finishing blow before it starts healing. I don't want to have to beat the poor dragon again," She said.

"Ah, right. Thank you so much!" Ryder said as he got ready to deal the finishing blow. Now there was only a small distance between him and his dream of becoming a level 100 player once again.

He held his Moon Scythe firmly as he ran towards the dragon.

"Enraged Slash!" He let out as he swung his Scythe.
