Chapter 360 - The Expedition Starts
The expedition started with the members setting out towards the elven kingdom. Unlike before , now the level 100 map was ideal for the Elite party to level up together.
As Griffin's after Griffin's were laid waste to along the way. Rudra was especially in no hurry to reach draconia, the reaon being his arm. It still needed 8 more days for the cast to go come off and his mana circuit to be functional again . Hence he wanted to take the time to level up and lay back while relying on the party.
Even though the Elite members were hard pressed one v one against the Griffin's , as a party it was a breeze. Especially with Neatwit who went maniacal , finding and slaying everybeast his eyes laid on.
Straying even off-road for a bit ,the party made sure to find Griffin's even if they won't show themselves to level up. It was a very productive level up session , as everyone levelled up atleast twice or thrice . Rudra gained two levels , finally breaking in the 80's.

Rudra , realized how fortunate he was to be where he was , winning the one v one fighting event , almost a month has passed since the Olympics and he was still behind Parallax.
Rudra wondered what parallax was currently doing ... And what level he was at. Little did he know that parallax had joined the triads after he learnt of the humiliation of Hao Mi , as he smelled an opportunity to join the traids and have his vengance.
Not much ahead of Rudra he was actually only level 83 ... The blow to his confidence was massive , no longer a one man army , he slowed down significantly while levelling up.
In comparison Neatwit had burst to the scene , with being at level 80 . Just one behind Rudra now ... Which was an alarm for Rudra to stop slacking on levelling up too much.
He spent too much time doing administrative stuff , not focussing on important things like gaining levells enough. He did not need to be a maniac like Neatwit , however he definitely needed to be more dilligent.
Thinking all this Rudra felt even more happy , that he took this time to slowly level up , as the party took their sweet time of four days to reach vanaheim ! The capital of the Elves!
Instantly Karna started to stick to Rudra , he alone knew his friends peril , while Yume continued to wink at Rudra whenever their eyes met , as if to say ' ... Ehh .. ehh go meet the girl , I know you want to ! '.
Rudra had to roll his eyes , ofcourse he wanted to go meet Ruby , but he was at work ... Now was not the time.
He was feeling weak at will , especially after the four days of seeing Karna all lovey dovey with Skyla , he missed Ruby even more.
Little did he know that Naomi had an even stronger longing for Rudra than Rudra's for Ruby. On one hand she was happy that , she was selected while Yua was not , it felt incredibly rewarding as she knew that it was only because she spent months trying to improove! However the entire trip was also a hell , as she could only look enviously at the happy Skyla , while being glared down by Furball whenever she tried to approach Rudra.
Rudra decided to quickly go through to the teleportation area as soon as he could , and after paying the necessary outisder toll to use the array , the party was teleported to the outskirts of the Lizardman kingdom , in the city of green scaled lizardmen!
The Lizardman kingdom was divided into four main regions , the eastern region , where they currently were was the region where the green scaled lizardmen lived. It was the only region where outsiders were allowed , as the other regions were hostile to non lizardmen and barred from outsiders.
The north was the region of the red lizardmen , of whom was the one king Atlas , a tier 5 existance! , While the west was the yellow scaled lizardmen region.
Finally the south was where the variants lived , black , purple , brown and the other scale colors.
Even within the green scaled lizardmen region , there were seldom humans seen ... Orcs , dwarves and elves were more common to be spotted. While many shops had clear signs saying " Lizardmen only ". Clearly showing that the culture was not very welcoming of outsiders.
Rudra did not mind this , as he was not there to socialize at all, as the party was instantly on the road , on their way outside the Lizardman kingdom , which they needed to circle around , to reach the Western front and onwards towards the swamp.
This longer route was needed to be taken as the yellow scaled lizardmen were the most extreme when it came to hostility towards outsiders. Rumors of them tearing humans who wandered into their territory even after the many signs that told them not to do so , were torn limb from limb.
Wanting to avoid such outcome , the group could only circle around the country , riding for 3 days , before finally arriving at their destination!
The level 200+ map , the lost mangrove swamp!
