Damon sat beneath a ridge, resting among a slew of Ashanti corpses as he checked his character panel. Two hours had passed since the battle began, and his kill count had since surpassed triple digits, truly earning himself the accolade of 'God of War.'
He was just a few dozen bodies short of reaching a kill count of 2,000, the majority of them foot soldiers, with a handful of elites mixed in. The Krontihene and other 'boss' characters were nowhere to be found at the frontlines, so Damon would have to dig deeper to harvest.
Still, factoring in the remaining Worldly Essence from earlier, he had a total of 24,530 units. Fortunately, that was just enough to cover the 10,240-unit penalty to bypass the cooldown, followed by another 10,240 to actually reach Level 9 and earn a new stat point.
Damon rested for another 9 minutes as the upgrade went underway and then allocated his new stat point right into Fortitude.
