Charlus smiled at the thought of infinite skeletons for him to grind. But for him to be able to survive that, he would have to first level up enough to be able to face those many skeletons at once

"Do we start now? You have to be very careful. We have to start using tactics. Only attract one skeleton at a time and then finish it-"

Brody was talking but Charlus whipped his scythe around. Brody ducked, narrowly missing the chain that would probably take him around for a whirl. Charlus' scythe passed through around 5 skeletons and they started approaching Charlus faster. It was like their feeling got hurt.

"Huh. Their feeling got hurt. Why do they have feelings though?"

Charlus was actually pissed. He did not like that he was no longer killing these skeletons in one shot.

"What are you doing?!" Brody was shocked and angry at Charlus. He quickly got ready for the incoming skeletons. Charlus was already ready though.

"Start bending. You might get caught in my chain and that will definitely hurt. " Charlus gave Brody a quick warning and swung his scythe again. Brody ducked, and the scythe flew towards the skeletons approaching. Charlus circled the scythe around and hit them a third time. After three hits from his scythe, the Skeleton Soldiers finally got defeated. They fell down.

Charlus had defeated 4 Skeleton Soldiers and he was not happy. This was a lot slower than when dealing with the Skeleton Soldiers on the previous floor. It would be easier for him to level up on the previous floor for now. He should only come to the second floor if he was at least Lvl 65 or Lvl 70 to gain some strong advantage. And if he was Lvl 80, maybe he could look into the huge dust cloud that Brody claimed was an army of Skeleton Soldiers.

Brody was amazed by Charlus' strength. He had always struggled with dealing with even a few of these skeletons and he had hit a roadblock. Brody had only gotten strong because of this dungeon.

Brody accidentally ventured into the dungeon one day. He found these skeletons and got very scared. But he didn't find an exit anywhere. So he had to face the skeleton soldiers. He continued fighting until he noticed that a door had already formed behind him.

Brody escaped that time, but he felt stronger. He kept going in there, more prepared than the last time until he finally finished clearing that floor. He found a manual to a martial arts style. 

Brody practised the Axe-wielding martial arts style and got stronger, to the point where he was now. but Chalrus was on a whole different level. To him, Charlus was like Juan - unreachable and someone to be feared. But Charlus did not act like that so Brody was at ease around him.

"How come your weapon just goes through your enemies and not cut them?" Brody asked Charlus.

"It's a special scythe. We live in a world with skeletons fighting us. Have you given up on the possibilities of magic? And weapons with magic?" Charlus gave a vague answer and Brody took it.

"So are we going to continue fighting those skeletons or are we going back?" Brody asked Charlus. Charlus was now Brody's new idol.

"Let's go back. I should sleep. Maybe we can come back later. Actually, I don't think you should come." Charlus gave Brody his unfiltered advice and Brody turned glum.

Brody tried to retort. "I know I am not strong like you but-"

Charlus cut him off. "Look. You are at a bottleneck. One step away, you will grow a lot stronger and you will be able to grow even more. Okay? So you need to cross that bottleneck."

"Bottleneck?" Brody did not understand the concept.

"Think about it like this. You are worth $999,999. 1 dollar away from a million. Now you have to take that 1 step to become a millionaire. Got it?"

Brody nodded his head in understanding. "How do I do it though?"

Charlus gave an explanation. "How did you gain this power of yours? What makes you powerful?"

Brody told him about his martial arts book. 

"Now go through your martial arts book and look for something that describes something similar to what I said If you don't find it, you can come to me with that book." Charlus gave Brody a simple solution.

Truth be told, Charlus did not know how Brody would become a Tier 1. He did not have the system like Charlus did right? It would be a lot more different compare to Charlus' simple procedure.

That's why Charlus told Brody to come with the book. Charlus wanted to inspect it if his advice didn't work.

The both of them were going to leave by staying still for a minute. Brody went ahead first, but Charlus stayed for a few minutes. He took out something from his inventory and attached it to one of his flying knives he had from long ago. 

(A/N: Remember when he was hunting goblins?)

"Are you coming?" Brody asked before leaving.

"You go ahead. I want to test something before leaving." Charlus pushed Brody first. Once he was assured that Brody wasn't there, Charlus unleashed his wings.

"Oh, the bliss!"

The wings were like a part of Charlus and hiding them was uncomfortable to Charlus. Charlus unfurled his wings and rose into the sky. He flew towards the dust cloud. 

Once Charlus saw that he could see the skeletons from a safe distance, Charlus got his knife ready. He mustered his strength and threw the knife towards the skeletons with all his might. The knife went straight towards a far-right end of the skeleton cluster. There were several hundred moving in the general spawning point of Charlus and Brody.

The object that Charlus had attached to the knife was a grenade.

BOOM!
