Even though I was already aware of this, I still felt a spike of profound unease at the news. Beside me, Celeste stopped eating and her face visibly paled.
Ino's voice cracked, and the hand holding the whisper-globe trembled a little. "I find it strange, really. The bridge appearing there means things are going to be incredibly difficult for us this lunar eclipse. That Grade Two territory isn't just extremely vast, meaning far more creatures, but all of those creatures are likely going to be at least Level Twenty."
This was alarming because despite being of the same grade, power scaling was drastic. With every two levels, a creature's strength, defense, and skills increased significantly. Consequently, the difference between a Grade Two creature at Level 12 and one that had reached Level 20 was far greater and more dangerous than the eight-level gap would suggest.
