Normally in the eyes of a dweller, monsters do not have levels, this was the work of the system god when he performed am upgrade, in order for players to be able to know the level of strength of whatever they are dealing with, hence this was not a game but the functionalities of a game was adopted, a human will be making a big mistake the moment he or she thinks that this was any way a game. Same way, Ariel adopted that way if infoong Rein of what he was fighting against, instead of having to use the appraisal skill, information about every monster popped up the moment Rein sets his eyes on them, plus Rein had awaken dragon eyes and could use dragon sixth sense though he had not acquired the skill either because he still could not willing use it, but of all six dragon sensing ability, he only had dragon eyes, though he looked forward to some changes during this hunting.
"Wow, Iโm able to kill level 210 monsters with just one strike of my sword, is it attack power? Or the sword, come to think of it, I never checked the information about the bamboo sword. Ariel appraise this and give me it original information"

"Wow" Reinard was surprised upon seeing the sword information, "inshoild probably thank the elf very well when we see again, all he has been giving are such good items, I think thereโs about three more apart from the ring and the egg..." Rein smiled, "...the egg was the best thing that could have happened to me..." Rein paused for a short moment, "did he perhaps know about the system, I can remember I received a blessing when his wife touched me... could they have been monitoring me somehow, why were they so nice?, what do they know?, why did they help me?"
Rein could not stop his head from asking these questions as his reasoning had evolved, it was normal right now to think to the extreme which every other human would have called overthinking but for Rein it was not, he was now a genuine race he had to careful gather information and process them in order to be accurate about alot of things, the draconic race afterall are one hell of a smart and cautious race. And this was showing in Rein personality, before he might not have cared about the consequences of his actions but now his personalities were changing. Rein slashed the gutterbones as they kept coming to him as he was lost in his thoughts. He grazed each gutterbones a they immediately scatter to the floor.
"It is sort of weird to keep hearing Ariel say target has died when they are undead" Rein kept talking to himself...

Rein slapped his face, โIs it really okay to leave Ariel like this...โ
Rein kept slashing, "by the way I donโt understand why these things are easy to kill"
"Because ya are too strong and they are too weak..."
Rein pointed his sword towards the direction he heard the voice from, a man in tattered clothing and a straw hat was before him, he couldnโt see the manโs eyes but he could see the chin, he didnโt have a clean chin, there were white unkept beards there mixed with black ones, Rein immediately found that disgusting. The man was holding a long stick.
โI didnโt even sense him around ... was it because I was keeping Ariel busy by talking to her so she too couldnโt notice..."

The man smirk at him, which he found irritating as he waited for Arielโs conclusion.
"Hey boyya, are ya trying to take a peek into my skills right now... thatโs disrespectful ya know?"
Reinโs eyes widened, โhow did he...he canโt notice Ariel can he?โ

โRelieving but somehow unfairโ Rein stared into the manโs eyes, "who are you?"
"Of course ya canโt know me? I donโt even know ya!" The man spread his arms in the air. "But ya seems to have picked up something really really good"
Rein pointed the sword further towards him, "I asked a question"
"Ei ei, ya donโt wanna play with sharp objects..." the old man looked down to the sword, "...ooooh, nice blade..." he placed his hand on the edge of the sword and began to slide his finger to the point where it was joined with the bamboo handle.
"Boyya, Iโm a swordsmith yet I have never seen a metal like this one, where did ya get this blade?"
"I asked a question first"
"See boyya, I am nothing but a passing traveling ya donโt need to be too vigilant..."
Rein shifted the sword close towards his neck that it was almost cutting his neck, it was a point away from his Adamโs apple, if he swallowed his spit, and his adam apple moved, the was going to be a dot cut for sure.
The man smiled, "I am Beranhame"
"I donโt care, what I ask for is your identity!"
"Iโm a friend of Filler, a very old friend of Filler and ya see, I saw ya use Fillerโs swordsmanship some months ago, since then I have been finding ya, but ya exceeded my expectations ya see, ya definitely not human, perhaps ya can carry a little of my legacy along with Fillerโs"
"I donโt understand what you are YA-ing about with the YA this YA that..."
The man stared at Rein.
"What?!..."
He swung his stick at Rein who belatedly used his arm to block but was still thrown to crash into rocks before he finally stopped and laid on the ground.
โWhat? what? how come? Ariel?โ
{๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฃโ๐ฉ ๐จ๐๐ ๐๐ฉ ๐๐ค๐ข๐๐ฃ๐}
โWhat, even Ariel...โ
The man landed right in front of Rein, he smiled to Rein, "what are ya always thinking about, Ya think too much before ya react, ya got no instincts?"
"The hell..."
He raised his leg to smash Reinโs head but Rein rolled away super fast and jumped up to his feet.
"Use it" The man spread his lips wide as he shouted.
"Use what?!" Rein closed in on him at his fastest but the man easily slapped his hand, "too slow!" He knocked him on the head with the stick in his hand. Rein crashed into the floor and immediately jumped away from the manโs range.
"Use sword of the moon"
"What?...how did you know?"
"How did I not know, I am the foundation of that technique so how can I not know. I said I am Fillerโs friend ya bushel of dirt"
"What?! Foundation of - "
He closed in on Rein yet again this time Rein was unable to react at all, he received a hit from below unto his jaw, he flew out.of range and crashed into another rock. "Use it!"
Rein quickly got up yet again, the man paused an looked, โheโs been taking much damage since but isnโt even showing any signs of injury of decrease in stamina, his body is durable"
"Fine!! Iโll give it to you!!!" Rein raised his voice along with his sword, his aura emanated sharply yet steadily from all over his body, a cold breathe was released from his mouth as he breathe out.
"Sword of the moon"
It was dark already so the difference was not noticeable, but the slicing of the moon was still well visible, the debris and smokes as an after result of the skill began to settle, Rein was still hanging this time around which meant his stamina had increased and he was truly able to handle the skill without fainting. He belatedly noticed a feeling at the end of his sword, the smoke settled completely and he was the man holding the stick up to block his sword with only one hand, the level of the ground around and behind the man had completely been reduced only where the man was standing was unaffected.
"What trash was that?"
"Uhh?" Rein was shocked. โHow is he able to.... without any cut, not even a bleed"
"Ya... I really expected much from ya, but what is the degraded version, it is imperfect! Let me show ya the real sword of the moon!!"
