The red flames spread out like a catastrophic hurricane. Even Rose wasn't able to run away.
Tyler instantly appeared behind her, picked her up, and ran away.
He stopped next to Liam and Jacob, who were holding Martin and John. They had to evacuate; otherwise, the explosion would catch them.
"Wow!"
Being in his arms, Rose didn't feel much. She had slept with Tyler many times, and many times, they would sleep holding each other.
Instead, she was surprised by the level of destruction her Blood Explosion caused. It almost spread over half a kilometer.
"Is this the full strength of a Second Rank?" Liam gulped heavily as he murmured.
"It's just one rank difference."
Jacob didn't understand how Rose's explosion was stronger than his while he held the power of flames.
"But this is the true difference."
Tyler spoke. Then, he glanced at Martin and John, saying.
"Wake them up! If they haven't recovered, I have made a few Soul Bills."
Liam nodded and violently shook them. After all, they didn't even wake up from the explosion.
So, it was hard for them to wake up so easily.
After a while, both opened their eyes and saw Liam and Jacob.
"Feeling tired?" Tyler asked.
John nodded his head and said.
"I am having a splitting headache. Feel like my brain will collapse at any moment."
Tyler took out two soul bills and handed them over.
As soon as they touched the soul bill, they felt a strange relaxation in their mind.
It felt weird.
John suddenly reacted.
"Wait, is this Soul Bill? How did you make it so quickly?"
Tyler chuckled and said.
"You don't have to worry about that. Anyway, since you are recovering, let me explain a few things!"
He pointed at the crater on the side and said.
"That was the explosion caused by Rose's attack."
"What?"
John and Martin were stunned. For a moment, they couldn't believe she created such a large crater.
"Wait a minute! Didn't we get attacked by a powerful wind before we lost consciousness?"
"What happened then?" John asked.
Tyler turned towards Liam so that Liam could explain the whole situation to him. He also told him the questions that he had asked before.
"I understand, but I am shocked." John murmured.
"So am I! Although it has already been confirmed, I am having a hard time believing this." Martin speechlessly replied.
Tyler chuckled and said.
"It's normal. I also don't know a few things. Like how they can control their destruction of their abilities."
"I mean, if they can cause this level of destruction every time they fight, how are casualties so low?"
"This kind of battle would have more casualties than Outbreak, right?"
Rose and others nodded immediately. If it were just one battle, it wouldn't be a problem. But even just one battle of this level included only Second Rank.
If it were Sixth or Seventh Rank, that would've been more than enough to wipe out a village or even a country from the face of the earth.
"That is one thing I don't understand. So, let's just focus on the monsters and spirits. Humans already have ranking, and you know that."
"But monsters also have a corresponding ranking. Their ranking will show more of their strength than humans."
"Such as Building-Level!"
This stunned them.
"Building-Level? Lord, what kind of level is this?" Liam confusedly asked.
"A level where a monster's attacks can easily destroy a building. It is a single building, and it can't be more than three floors."
"That's the highest level it can go. And, First Rank humans are just a bit weaker than them."
"This has already been proven, hasn't it?"
When he said that, those people finally understood the level system of the monsters.
Building Level truly meant the destructive capability of the building. It was a true testament to a monster's strength.
And, a First Rank human can't easily destroy a building, which was why it took four of them to fight a single monster.
"Then comes Street Level. Just a while ago, a spirit attacked us. Rose took it down."
"This Spirit was a Street Level Spirit, and this is where the gap in power at the same rank between humans, spirits, and monsters disappears."
"And, if Rose hadn't gone all out from the start, it could also cause similar destruction by freezing an entire street with its ice."
"But Rose's Aura was much more powerful, which makes her much more powerful than an average spirit."
Hearing that, Liam raised his hand and asked.
"Lord, does that mean even in a higher rank, the abilities make us weak and strong?"
Tyler nodded.
"Of course! If someone has awakened Space Ability and mastered it. He can easily defeat most of the other hunters, monsters, and spirits of the same rank."
"This is not even a question. But of course, Aura also plays a huge role. The stronger your Aura is, the more powerful you will be at that rank."
Martin asked.
"Lord, if our ability is extremely powerful and our Aura is also powerful, can we challenge someone above our rank?"
Tyler felt a bit conflicted to answer this question. He didn't know the answer.
So, he shook his head and replied.
"I am not sure. From my current perspective, that shouldn't be possible. When Rose had reached Second Rank, I was still Third Rank."
"But even then, I was several times stronger than her. Just by using my Aura, I had confidence in taking her down."
"I haven't reached Fourth Rank, but my skills have reached Heroic Level. So, my Aura hasn't changed much."
"I am sure I can challenge a Fourth Rank hunter, but the question is, can I win?"
At this moment, he saw the hopeful look on their faces and chuckled.
"I think with my two abilities, I might have a chance. That is only if my enemy has a weak ability and average Aura."
"Otherwise, I don't have that much confidence. But due to the lack of information about fourth rank and above, I can't confidently say that I can win."
Hearing that, Rose sighed and said.
"It doesn't matter, Sir. You will soon reach Fourth Rank."
Tyler clicked his tongue.
"I hope so. Anyway, let's continue about monsters and spirits!"
"After Street-Level comes City-Level. And, yes, I do have the strength to destroy the city with my abilities."
"Since I can do it, monsters and spirits can do the same. Of course, it is mainly due to their abilities or continuous attack."
"For example, before my skills reached Heroic Level, I had a skill called 'Flame Explosion'. The power of that attack was capable of destroying a city."
"But it wasn't hot enough to incinerate every building. That means if someone had good defense, they could easily block my attack."
"Wow!"
Rose and others couldn't help but whistle with amazement. Their City Lord held such power, but they didn't even get to see it.
"What about now, Lord?" Martin curiously asked.
"I only have three skills for each ability, one of which is indeed a ranged attack. But I am not sure just how powerful it is."
"Let's wait until I encounter a perfect enemy to use it!"
Martin nodded, and so did others.
"The next is not a Country-Level."
When Tyler said that, they suddenly froze.
"What?"
Tyler burst into laughter.
"What? Did you think that after destroying a city, one could directly reach Country-Level?"
They nodded. They seriously thought that was the case.
Tyler shook his head.
"I am still new to many things, but one thing I know is already something I've told you a long time ago."
This stumped them until Rose remembered something and immediately shouted.
"Sir, is it about how we should always do better than yesterday?"
"I remember. Lord, you always used this to motivate us."
"Yeah! I remember too."
As he heard that, Tyler smiled and nodded.
"Yes, just like what I told you, every previous rank will have a certain weakness that will be improved or removed in the next rank."
"In City-Level, we can destroy a city, but as I said before, it is just surface destruction. It can only incinerate the buildings closest to the attack."
"So the next rank improves such power. It is called Mountain-Level. While some mountains might be smaller than cities."
"Most of the mountains are big. They are also tall and wide. This makes it harder to destroy a mountain because you need to incinerate the entire mountain."
"This is not like causing surface-level destruction. So, while I might only have three skills for each ability, my abilities have become much more powerful."
"The same can be said for the monsters. They will also have the power to incinerate a mountain."
"This is Mountain-Level. Finally, after this comes Country-Level."
"I am not sure why there isn't any news of the destruction of a country when there are many stronger people than Country-Level."
"But I am sure I will soon find the answers."
