SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36: A Powerful Opponent.

Time passed as the trio continued their hunt through the desert.

The blazing sun hung overhead like a giant furnace, baking the endless sea of sand beneath it. Heat waves danced across the horizon and the air itself felt hot enough to distort one’s vision.

Yet despite the harsh environment, neither Adam nor Zoey showed any signs of losing enthusiasm.

If anything, they were becoming more excited with every passing hour.

Their levels were constantly increasing.

Their stats were growing.

And perhaps most importantly, they were gaining real combat experience rather than simply farming monsters inside a controlled Exp farming facility.

With Kael carrying the difficult fights, it honestly felt like they had stumbled upon a superior version of a farming center.

One that was completely free.

At that moment, they were dealing with a group of three golems.

The battle had become almost routine.

Kael weakened the targets and exposes the cores.

Adam and Zoey finished them off.

Simple and efficient.

Crack!

A powerful punch shattered part of a golem’s abdomen, exposing the glowing core hidden within.

Almost immediately, Adam moved.

Their teamwork had improved dramatically over the past few hours. They no longer needed Kael’s instructions.

The moment a core appeared, they already knew what to do.

Adam charged forward with his hammer raised high.

"Receive the Hammer of Justice, baby!"

Boom!

The hammer descended with tremendous force.

The core shattered instantly.

The golem froze before collapsing into rubble and sand.

Unlike earlier, Adam didn’t stand around admiring his work.

The moment the kill was secured, he immediately retreated.

A lesson learned after nearly getting flattened multiple times.

The remaining two golems roared in anger.

Kael stepped forward before either could react.

The next few minutes consisted of what could only be described as a systematic beating.

Stone shattered.

Limbs broke.

Cores were exposed.

Then Adam and Zoey delivered the finishing blows.

Before long, the final golem collapsed.

Silence returned to the battlefield.

Kael smiled. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Good job, everyone."

Zoey brushed some sand from her clothes.

"Most of the credit belongs to you."

Adam nodded in agreement.

Without Kael, neither of them would’ve leveled this quickly.

At the moment, Adam had already reached Level 19 and wasn’t far from Level 20.

Zoey was slightly behind at Level 18, though she was rapidly approaching Level 19.

The progress was ridiculous.

Kael glanced between them.

"You guys tired?"

The desert wasn’t exactly kind.

Even with enhanced physiques, fighting under such heat could slowly drain a person’s stamina.

Yet both immediately shook their heads.

Not even slightly.

Sure, the heat was exhausting.

But Kael had been handling almost all of the difficult combat.

Most of their contribution involved landing finishing blows.

On top of that, every level-up restored a significant portion of their energy.

The result was that they actually felt better than they had hours ago.

Seeing their reactions, Kael nodded.

"Good."

He pointed deeper into the desert.

"Let’s keep going."

A grin appeared on his face.

"Let’s get both of you to Level 20 before the day ends."

Adam and Zoey immediately brightened.

The goal suddenly felt achievable.

Still...

As they followed behind Kael, the same thought surfaced once again.

Level 20.

Wasn’t that the level Kael claimed to be?

Neither of them believed it anymore.

Not even a little.

At first they had accepted his explanation.

Now?

Not a chance.

A Level 20 Awakener effortlessly defeating a Level 45 opponent was simply impossible.

At least according to common sense.

His strength.

His speed.

His reactions.

Everything pointed toward someone far stronger than he claimed.

Clearly Kael had lied about his level.

It was the only explanation that made sense.

What they didn’t know was that they weren’t entirely wrong.

Kael had indeed lied.

Just not by much.

His actual level was twenty-six.

Unfortunately for their theory, even Level 26 shouldn’t have been capable of doing what Kael had done.

The real reason lay elsewhere.

Three hundred points.

Three hundred absurdly distributed stat points that had transformed his attributes into something completely unreasonable.
