Chapter 117: The Appointed Day and the secret of Bonus Stat
"Was that monster what I am thinking it was?" Kayn walks out behind the small hill not far from where Natas is currently standing after confirming that the place is safe and clear.
"Guardian Turtle," Natas nodded his head.
"I didn\'t expect that such a monster would exist in \'The Bridge\'…" Kayn felt disbelief.
Guardian Turtle. It\'s a turtle monster that\'s ranked sixth in the family of turtle monsters, followed by Mountain Turtle, Dragon Turtle, Ancestral Turtle, Continent Turtle, and World Turtle.
The Guardian Turtle is considered a gigantic beast and is a very tough opponent to defeat. Although they are not strong or powerful when it comes to assault. But their defense is enough to protect them and keep them alive.
However, a Guardian Turtle has a very glaring weakness.
Just like what the Guardian Turtle name implies, it is a monster that is guarding something or someone very precious.
In the case of the Guardian Turtle that they\'ve just seen, its weakness is most likely the Springwater Source Bonsai rooted in the center of its shell.
Once that precious object is taken away from the Guardian Turtle or it has failed to protect it, it\'s going to instantly revert back to its weakest state, the \'Soldier Turtle\', thus making it very easy to defeat.
Unfortunately, because it has become weak, the loot that one could get from it would naturally be affected negatively as well. That\'s why in most cases when hunting a Guardian Turtle, the hunters won\'t touch what it\'s guarding so that they can get the most loot once they defeated it. Nevertheless, the question still remains if they can defeat it or not.
"A level 1 to 5 turtle monster is merely considered a Soldier Turtle. Once it hits level 6, it will become a Knight Turtle. Level 11, a Lord Turtle. Level 21, a King Turtle. And only when it finally hits level 31 would it reach one of the two requirements to become a Guardian Turtle. The other requirement is to find a precious object to guard,"
"Considering that we are in \'The Bridge\' and are still far from the entrance of the \'Tower\', that Guardian Turtle is probably somewhere in level 31 to 35," Kayn roughly guessed. "If we make use of its weakness, we could probably defeat it,"
"We still can\'t underestimate it," Natas reminded.
Because it\'s considered a glaring weakness, the Guardian Turtle would obviously know about that fact too. Hence, it will do everything in its power to prevent its enemies from taking advantage of it.
Moreover, a level 31 monster isn\'t necessarily considered similar to a level 31 Hero. Of course, vice versa also applies. But in most cases, it would require a group of Heroes of the same level as the said monster for them to even be able to have the chance to defeat it.
"Anyways, even if we know a way to defeat the Guardian Turtle, your level is still too low to even have the chance to get close to it," Natas pulled Kayn out of his thoughts.
"I know…" He was only thinking of possible plans for them to use. Still, he can\'t deny what Natas had just said. Let alone using his methods, he won\'t even be able to get close to the Guardian Turtle without risking his life.
"You have six days to reach level 20 or more. If you can\'t reach that, then I suggest we forget about this matter for the meantime and focus solely on getting stronger, understand?" Natas initiated a deal with Kayn. He\'d rather temporarily lose the Springwater Source Bonsai than forever lose Kayn.
"What are we waiting for then?"
"I was only waiting for you," Natas rolled his eyes.
Kayn chuckled before finally proceeding with their next course of action — leveling up.
…..
Six days passed very quickly.
Within those six days, Jude\'s party continued to repeat whatever they were doing on the second day over and over again until they finally got bored of it and had enough.
Contrary to them though, Kayn never showed any signs of getting bored. That\'s because he would always go monster hunting after reaching a certain quota he had personally set for himself for each day.
One time, members of Jude\'s party finally can no longer hold back their curiosity at Kayn\'s method of why he isn\'t feeling bored and seems to always be full of energy every single day.
As soon as they found out, they instantly realized that the person they have casually recruited to merely fill in a missing spot in their party unexpectedly turned out to be an even scarier being than the monsters that live in this area of the Springwater Canyon.
They also finally got an answer to the question of why the population of monsters around them seems to have sharply decreased in numbers over the following days.
It wasn\'t because they relocated or something like that after their bases got found out during the scouting activity, but it was because they were killed by a being that\'s more of a monster than them.
Nevertheless, they understood that it is impossible for them to replicate what Kayn is doing. So, they continued with their daily boring activities until the last day of their mission.
The 7th day.
That is the last day of their mission.
The moment the time hits 12 o\'clock in the afternoon, Jude quickly rounded up all members of his party, including Kayn — who is very much different from who he was on the first day; as they quickly began gathering their stuff so that they can finally leave this place for good.
As they walked in the same path they took to come here, Kayn can\'t help looking at his new Status Window.

]
A total Power Score of 100 despite merely being level 22.
If anyone else can see his Status Window right now, there\'s no doubt that they\'ll be instantly rendered in disbelief.
Such a high Power Score is supposed to only be attainable for someone in level 25 or above. Yet, a mere level 22 already possessed it.
Moreover, he still has 10 more Stats Points in reserve, which could instantly bring his Power Score to 110, another unprecedented feat.
To be honest, Kayn actually knows a trick that can increase his stats without relying solely on the Stats Points received every time he levels up. That method is none other than training and receiving Bonus Stat. Not just any ordinary training like working out, exercising, or mastering the use of his weapons. It\'s the type of training that focuses solely on certain stat.
Take for example. If one wants to increase their strength, they\'d have to do exercises and related activities that focus on increasing the strength of their body. They\'ll have to repeat it over a certain number of times before they can receive a Bonus Stat in their strength. Regrettably, that Bonus Stat would be in a series of small fractional numbers, like +.5, +.1, or even worst, plus point zero and something.
The Bonus Stat received is abysmally low regardless of it popping up a series of times, making most people give up on choosing such a method to grow stronger. However, what they don\'t know about Bonus Stat is, as long as one actually continues to repeat it over and over again, the increase in fractional number would actually slowly increase higher and higher. Eventually, the series of Bonus Stat received would no longer be in fractional numbers, but in whole numbers.
Meaning, one would be able to endlessly receive a series of whole numbers as Bonus Stat.
And that\'s not even yet the end. From a series of +1, it would turn to +2, plus five, plus ten, and so on and so forth as one continues. A series of +50 is the highest Bonus Stat attainable by performing such a method. Alas, he had never truly reached that level in the past.
However, this time, he\'ll make sure to attain that Bonus Stat so that he\'ll be able to become even stronger than the past him. That\'s the main reason why he is already doing his best to improve the Bonus Stat increase.
After looking at his Status Window and feeling proud about his achievement in the past 7 days, Kayn turned his attention back to making his way to return to Canyonside Town.
All of a sudden…
"Be careful, there are people following your party in secret by using the cover of the greenery in your surroundings," Natas revealed a piece of surprising information.
Hearing Natas\' report, Kayn started secretly glimpsing to his sides. Just like what the former had mentioned, he had quickly noticed some dark silhouettes following them.
"Jude…" Kayn silently called out.
"Yes?" Jude looks at Kayn while still continuing to move. He can\'t afford to temporarily stop walking forward because their location right now is very dangerous.
"Ready your weapons,"
"Why?" Jude narrowed his eyes together.
"There are others around us,"
Jude stopped talking as he started observing the surrounding.
Evidently, because of what Kayn had shown in the past seven days, he has reached the level where his words are now being considered by Jude and the members of his party.
"I see…"
Realizing that, Jude secretly signaled his party members to prepare their weapons to defend against an incoming ambush.
