The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 447: A Bottleneck

At the same time as Dylan appeared within the dungeon, there was a person that suddenly appeared out of the dungeon with a confused expression on his face. Was he not just fighting against a monster now?

Of course, Henry did not know about the limit of the number of people that could enter into the dungeon. But even then, there was something that was not supposed to happen, and that was the fact that Dylan was not supposed to enter into the dungeon since it was already fully occupied.

Of course, one could think that since Dylan was Henry’s summoned creature, he was actually supposed to enter into the dungeon together with Henry without being counted. But this dungeon was completely different, it did not matter if it was a monster or not, as long as it was a figure, it was going to be counted.

The strangest thing that happened here was the fact that Dylan came in, pushed another person out of the dungeon, before occupying his spot. Of course, Dylan did not even know about something like this happening, but he could only feel a little aggrieved about the fact that he had been brought over before being informed.

But even then, Dylan swore to himself that as long as he got back to the territory, he would make sure to look for that person again. There was definitely no way that he was going to allow that person to go just like that. He had to make sure that he dealt with him properly.

Immediately after that, he concentrated on dealing with the monsters. Since Henry had informed him that they had to level up as soon as possible, for the first time, Dylan also became almost monstrous, like Rachel and Adam.

The group was not moving far away from each other, although they had separated from each other. This was just to ensure that if there was a monster that was going to appear and was stronger than a person could handle, the others could come over and give support to that person.

Rachel and Adam had moved in the opposite directions, parallel to each other, one to the left and one to the right of Henry. Angela had moved in the same direction that Rachel had gone in, but even then, there was a distance between the two of them as they moved. And now that Dylan had come over, he moved towards the direction that Adam had gone to.

Since Henry was the strongest among all of them, he was the one that was occupying the center spot, ready to offer assistance to anybody among the group that was encountering a difficult situation.

The ones that Henry would help would definitely be Angela and Adam. As for his summoned creatures, he could simply summon them to this place where he was, and help them avoid the danger that they would be in at that time.

Just like that, Henry and the others were actually lucky enough that the moment that they encountered a monster that was a level higher than them, the difference was not that much big.

For that reason, they were actually capable of leveling up quite faster than normal, considering that they were mainly fighting against monsters that were at least a level higher than themselves.

At the same time, the distribution of the monsters within this dungeon was not that sparse. For that reason, after fighting against one monster, a minute or two later, they would encounter another monster. Additionally, it was not strange for them to be able to encounter two monsters at the same time, and each of them being at the same level.

But even then, with the quality of the people that had entered into the dungeon of this level, it was definitely not impossible for them to be able to deal with the monsters.

As for Smith, of course he had also entered into the same level that Henry and the others had gotten into. But even then, he made sure to keep his distance from Henry’s group.

At the same time, he made sure to observe them from a distance, and realized just how strong the group was. It was definitely impossible for him to be able to deal with them, especially considering that they were actually dealing with monsters that seemed to be very strong.

Although it was true that he could actually not see the level that Henry and the others were in, but even then, he could see the level of the monsters. And he could not help but be dumbfounded the moment that he realized that the monster that Henry and the others were treating so lightly were those that had already reached level 4 or even 5. Additionally, they were moving deeper into the forest, and it did not seem that they had any intention of stopping at all.

Smith could not follow them anymore considering that he had to concentrate on leveling up himself. At the same time, of course, he could not go deeper into this level considering that he would encounter a monster that would be capable of ripping him apart without giving him a chance.

But even then, at this moment, Smith came to a decision. No matter what, there was definitely no way that he was going to fight against this group of monsters. After all, how was he supposed to compete against them when they were getting stronger at the same time as he himself was trying to get strong enough to resist them?

At this moment, he thought that it was definitely not that bad to follow behind such a strong group. After all, with such a strong group, it was definitely not impossible for them to be able to take over the entirety of the human race. And it seemed that Henry and the others did not possess that much of an influence over the world right now.

So, if he actually joined them right now, that implied that he would be holding a good position in the future. Just thinking of that, Smith could no longer think about taking over the world, but instead, he just thought of the future glory that was about to come after making the decision of joining this group.

The more that he thought about the future, he immediately began hunting monsters. He was thinking that as long as he was strong enough, the position that he would possess in the group would definitely not be that low. Since that was the case, he had to get stronger, even if the group that was here was stronger than himself.

After all, what was the probability that the other members of this group that had not come over were actually stronger? The possibility was extremely low. And even if they were actually stronger than he was right now, he could as well level up since he was possessing a chance within this dungeon.

...

For the rest of the day, Henry and the others remained in the dungeon as they fought against monsters to level up. Adam had already reached level 9 of the diamond rank, which was considered as the very peak of the diamond rank.

Now, the only thing that he was waiting for was a chance to be able to reach the platinum rank. The speed at which he had leveled up in was extremely high, considering that this was the third stage of the apocalypse where humans would be capable of leveling up quite easily.

As for Angela, she had actually reached level 8 of the diamond rank, and she was not that far away from level 9 of the diamond rank.

According to the normal situation, Angela was actually supposed to be leveling up faster than Adam. But since Adam was fighting monsters that were stronger than himself, and he was fighting so maniacally and possessed many skills as compared to Angela, he was capable of leveling up at an incredible speed than she could.

As for Henry, he was currently at level 8 of the diamond rank in his warlock profession. At the same time, he was at level 9 of his summoner profession. The speed at which the summoner profession rose in levels was all thanks to Rachel and Dylan.

The two of them looked even more excited the moment that they realized that they were actually leveling up. They were thinking that as long as Henry saw that they were helping him to level up in the profession that they were possessing, perhaps they would be valued more by him.

As for Rachel, that was not the only motivation that she possessed. But instead, she was actually competing against Adam on who was going to kill the most monsters. After all, the moment that they killed a monster, they would collect the mutation crystals. They would compare them with each other, something that had been happening for a while now.

Currently, for Henry to be able to reach the platinum rank, he required his warlock profession to reach level 9 of the diamond rank, the same level as his summoner profession.

It was just that for some reason, this profession was not leveling up no matter how many monsters he killed. He had already killed several level 9 monsters, but he was not leveling up at all.

That was something that made him frown. What could be happening? According to what Adam had told him, although he was at level 9 of the diamond rank right now, there was just a small barrier that was preventing him from breaching the platinum rank.

As for Henry, he had not even reached level 9 of the diamond rank, but even then, he felt that there was something that was trying to restrict his warlock profession from leveling up.

It was not as if he was ranking up, but instead, it was just a small level. But even after the entire day of hunting monsters within the dungeon, he was not capable of leveling up at all. Henry could not help but fall into a deep state of thinking, as he thought about the solution to the problem.
