After they heard what the town guard said, they asked him about the evacuation place. The town guard immediately volunteered to accompany them there. Accompanied by the woman rescued by the town guard, the group headed straight to the evacuation area. It was not easy for them to get there because they encountered monsters on the way.

"There are monsters ahead of us," said the town guard who goes by the name of Abel. He is also currently at the forefront of the group.

They quickly found hiding places, in the thick bushes that could be seen around. They watched and examined the monsters ahead. They waited for them to leave. But, it doesn't seem to be that easy at all. The monsters did not leave immediately. They remain as if they were waiting for someone.

When a few minutes passed and they noticed that the monsters were still there, "Eh? What are we going to do? Is there another route we can take?" Oldman Barn asked anxiously. If they wasted more time, more monsters might come into this area.

"I'm sorry, but this is the safest road we can take. We can go back to where we went and turn south where there is a long bridge we need to cross. However, I think it's more dangerous there. There is also a high chance that many monsters are scattered in that area." Oldman Barn frowned as he listened to Abel.

"And if we turn north, we will pass a wide plaza. If by chance the monsters suddenly come out, we have nowhere to hide. Besides, we have to travel farther from there to get to the evacuation area because there is no direct way from there," Abel continued.

Oldman Barn's brow twitched. "In that case, we have no choice but to wait for those sh*ts to leave," Oldman Barn sighed inwardly.

When none of them spoke, "I'll take care of it." Jem stepped forward and declared it. Because he was the only one who had the ability to defeat those monsters, he himself volunteered to fight the monsters.

"Wait Jem!" Miles tried to call the young man, but he didn't turn around and went straight towards the monsters. He even said, "Stay there." Miles couldn't understand Jem's kind of speech because it almost didn't carry any emotion. Miles couldn't figure out if he was ordering her or warning her not to come.

"....."

However, Miles thought that if she insisted on wanting to help, she might just be a hindrance to Jem's fight. Though she refused to admit it, there was no doubt that she did not have enough strength to defeat the monsters. As she was looking at the young man from their hiding place, Miles secretly swore to herself that she will become strong someday.

As Jem killed the monsters one by one without difficulty, their admiration for the young man's ability intensified. But, Miles was not happy with this incident. She was not happy that she could do nothing to help her childhood friend.

But even though she wasn't happy that she didn't help at all, there was a part of her that was happy. It seemed to her that Jem was disallowing her to accompany him to the fight because he was concerned for her safety. That's why she obeyed him. All she can do is pray for Jem's safety while ready to help him if she sees him in a precarious situation.

Jem wasn't worried about Miles' safety. The reason why he doesn't want her to join him in the fight is that Miles might be able to see that he secretly changed his body part. He also needs to be able to trade the bodies of the trolls he has killed. He needs to earn trade points and promote his Exo points again to increase his growth potential.

Since he already knew how to handle the trolls, he quickly got rid of them. The Light Wave spell also helped a lot in the battle against the trolls. However, Jem cannot be neglected. Especially with his Ex-energy.

After he leveled up, his Ex-energy increased drastically. Now his total Ex-energy is at over 3,000 Ex-energy. Based on his observation, depending on the strength of the spell he used the amount of Ex-energy needed to activate any spell or ability. For example, the basic cost of Ex-energy to his Fortification ability is only 10. But, if he activated his level 1 power to his Fortification ability, the value of Ex-energy needed to activate the ability becomes x2. And it becomes x3 if two rings shine on his arm, which is equivalent to level 2, and so on.

Based on his knowledge, the equivalent cost of Ex-energy for beginner-tier abilities is lower than 20, while secondary-tier abilities have the equivalent of 20-39 Ex-energy.

Since the basic cost of the Light Wave Ability is 20, it surpassed the beginner-tier and belongs to the secondary-tier ability. And since 20 Ex-energy is its basic value, it becomes 40 if he activates a ring on his arm.

Hypothetically, Jem believes that the tier of any ability increases depending on the level of the person using it.

Regardless,

After a few minutes of rushing, they finally reached the center of the town where the alleged evacuation center is located. It is inside the rampart where the town municipality is located.

But they noticed a big problem. They immediately hid when they noticed that there were monsters scattered around the closed double doors gate made of thick wood.

"This is bad. Looks like we can't get in right away! " Town guard Abel said disappointed.

"Tsk! It looks like there are even more monsters here," Oldman Barn just pressed his tongue between his teeth.

"Wait, grandfather!" Miles called when she noticed a noise from inside the rampart.

As soon as they arrived at the place, Jem noticed it immediately. He heard cries coming from within. It looks like those people inside are currently fighting.. There must have been Flying Trolls who were able to invade.
