After Alex left Golden House, he didn't go back to the restaurant.
Instead, he directly headed towards the gate of the Kupido Town where he left off last time.
Alex doesn't want to delay going to the Trial Tower anymore.
Right now, Alex just wants to increase his level more.
He didn't even think of reaching the limit of Tier-1 attribute stats before going to the Trial Tower because of this.
So without hesitation, Alex left Kupido Town to go to Nagels.
Once he got out of town, Alex didn't dilly dally and immediately started running.
Since Ferri was left at a forest near the capital, Alex doesn't have a mount to ride on.
Alex also wants to hurry up, that's why he didn't choose to ride a public carriage.
Honestly, Alex's speed right now is even faster than any mode of transportation available around him.
His agility, which is in the thousands, is equivalent to a speed that is more than a hundred times faster than a sports' car on earth!
And with his equally high constitution, he can handle it even if he runs at full speed for a long time.
That's why Alex didn't even bother to look for anything to ride and just ran on his own.
Anyway, utilizing the power that is contained in his muscles, Alex kicked the ground and exploded with power, causing dust to rise up outside the town's gate.
The guard immediately took a look at what caused the explosion but they saw nothing but a deep footprint on the ground outside.
The guards looked at each other in wonderment as to who could have created the footprint.

In just under 15 minutes, Alex already arrived at the village that he saved from the bandits last time.
Before, it took him a whole day before he got to this point.
That is because he was riding on Ferri's back at that time.
Anyway, Alex didn't stop, he continued running and passed by the village.
The residents of the village only saw a cloud of dust suddenly appear not far away and fell into confusion.
…
Alex continued running for a couple more hours before finally, he arrived at his destination.
Alex stopped his feet just a kilometer away from the entrance of Nagels.
"Phew~ I'm finally here."
Alex took a deep breath and took a bottle of water from his inventory to drink.
After satiating his thirst, Alex let out a relieved sigh and said, "It was great that I was able to test out what my stats are like right now with my body."
"At least now, I know just how fast my speed and how strong my body really is."
Alex felt genuinely happy and fulfilled at this moment.
After he appreciated his own power for a while, Alex didn't immediately go to Nagels.
He looked around him for a while and said, "I wonder where Ferri is right now?"
Alex is looking for Ferri because this is the place he left him off to hunt on his own.
It's been about more than a day since he left him so Alex is wondering what he's doing now.
Closing his eyes, Alex tried to feel his connection with Ferri in his heart.
Suddenly, Alex frowned.
"Why can't I feel Ferri? Did something happen to him?"
Worried, Alex tried to feel it again.
But there was still no response.
Alex can't help but start thinking about the worst possible thing that could have happened.
"One more time."
For the last time, Alex tried to concentrate and feel the connection with Ferri.
Finally, Alex felt a faint string of connection that was coming from deep inside the forest.
Without hesitation, Alex started running in that direction.
"Please, I hope nothing bad happened to Ferri!" He whispered to himself.
Running as fast as he could, Alex soon saw Ferri.
But he's not alone.
Confronting him, a giant lion about 5 meters in height with a burning fire as its mane, and claws that's as sharp as a sword.
The lion has a few wounds that are still bleeding and some bite marks on its body that obviously came from Ferri.
On the other hand, Ferri is lying on the ground, bleeding heavily.
At this point, Ferri seems to be on his last breath as he tries to stand back on his feet only to fall down on the ground again.
When Alex saw Ferri's appearance, he called his name with worry visible from his tone.

Alex rushed up to Ferri to take a look at his situation.
At the same time, his skill [Lord's Sanctuary] also started taking effect and slowly healed the wounds on Ferri's body.
Seeing that Ferri isn't in a critical condition anymore thanks to his skill, Alex breathed a sigh of relief.
"Rest here for a while, don't try to stand back up again." Alex said.
"Whimp…"
Ferri tried to protest but his body really can't take anymore burden so he can only give up.
After purring Ferri down, Alex lifted his head and looked at the giant flaming lion.
In a blink of an eye, Alex appeared in front of the lion, staring at it directly in its eyes.
"Tell me, how do you want to die?"
Alex's sudden appearance caused the flaming lion's pupils to shrink.
It tried to back away but Alex didn't let it.
He grabbed the lion's skin and didn't let it move even an inch.
"Don't even try to escape after what you did to my friend. I'll let you get a taste of that pain as well."
Saying that, Alex threw a punch at the lion.
Boom!
A dull sound echoed in the surrounding area.
The cracking sound of the lion's bones were also audible to everyone.
"I won't let you die immediately. I'll let you feel what it's like to get beaten to death first!"
Alex controlled his strength and threw another punch on the lion's body.
Pow!
