After breaking through to the Intermediate Rank 3, I experienced a significant improvement in my physical strength and essence reserves, as always.
Meanwhile, my senses expanded to cover an area with a radius of more than one and a half kilometers.
During this time, our journey through this barren and scorching land continued at a decent pace after we had wasted several days resting when we encountered the massive swarm.
We had turned northeast a while ago, going deeper into Europe, reaching where Russia once used to be.
At the same time, the terrain began changing once again as the temperature dropped and the ash and volcanic lava started disappearing, replaced by cold winds, proving that this world still retained parts of its old climate... perhaps.
And the terrain wasn't the only thing changing here.
We were changing as well.
