Chapter 56: Milestone Completed
Jason sent out a message to the subordinates around him and told them to gather the bodies of the dead ants. The Legion immediately moved to begin collecting the dead ants, and they also grabbed the numerous magic crystals inside them.
Jason already had six magic crystals from the monsters that he killed before he got here, so when he added the sixty-two magic crystals from these monsters, he had a total of sixty-eight. The crystals from the soldiers were larger than the crystals from the scouts, and the Magic Crystals from the scouts were also larger than the crystals from the workers, but Jason knew that all of them would bring in millions.
He threw them into his Alternate Dimension and then focused on the corpses.
Mana Points: 970/1470
Jason’s mana had regenerated slightly after he used some of it to revive his subordinates that died in the previous fight, but he knew that resurrecting this many beasts at the same time was going to take a lot out of him. He looked into himself and felt for his stamina, and when he noticed that he wasn’t feeling any tiredness anymore, he decided that he would just go ahead and do it.
Jason spread his mana out over the large pile of corpses and he spoke.
"Resurrect."
Doon!
A pulse of power traveled through the region as Jason felt his mana drop by close to four hundred points! A sudden tiredness crept into his heart and made a bead of sweat fall down the side of his face, but Jason refused to stop as he felt his mana grabbing hold of the souls of all the beasts before dragging them out!
A loud screech echoed through the forest as all the monsters emerged from their bodies!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The sound of tabs opening on his system reached Jason, and Jason turned to see the notifications appearing.

Jason was surprised when he read the new abilities available for the pawns. This meant that he didn’t have to worry about his pawns being weaker than the opponents in this Orange Gate anymore. If he sent two pawns out to fight against a stronger opponent, then it would be the same as sending three pawns since both of them would gain a 50% boost in their attack power. That was going to be very useful in the future when he goes to fight against the other entrances!
Jason sat on the floor and made sure that his subordinates were well spread out to watch the environment properly. The trees provided more than enough cover for them to make sure that nothing could sneak up while they were resting, and Jason had sent Scotus out to keep an eye on the surroundings and report back if there were any signs of any regular scouts heading their way.
He then looked over at the stats on his system tab and he frowned when he saw that he was still an A Rank. Jason had gained over fifty subordinates since he came into this Gate, so he thought he would have at least reached S Rank by now, but for some reason, he just wasn’t able to get past A Rank.
’Is there some way to see the progression of the system ranking?’
[Yes, the user can view the rank progression percentage in the system tab. Would the user like to make the progression percentage visible? Yes/No?]
Jason chose yes immediately. He didn’t feel comfortable not knowing how well he was doing with his own strength. It was possible to tell how powerful he was by gauging his strength against other monsters, but why waste time doing that when he could just view his strength progression using the system?

[The user’s progression in each stat is dependent on the stats of the monsters that the user possesses in his Legion. Each creature possesses a different stats distribution and that will also reflect in the user’s system.]
[The user’s rank percentage is calculated by adding the three highest rank percentages and dividing them by their sum.]
[As the user grows stronger, the system suggests that the user gains stronger subordinates in order to increase the growth rate of the user’s progression percentage.]
——
Jason read through everything the system sent quickly, and he hummed as he finally understood his system. Jason already knew that he gained a different percentage for each stat with each monster type that he takes as a subordinate, but he didn’t think that the difference would be this high!
The wolves that Jason fought in the Moonlight Den Red Gate gave Jason a lot more Agility and Strength since they were designed for fast and hard movement, their durability score was very low, so Jason didn’t get much from that.
But the Adamantine Ants had a lot of Durability and Agility, so those two stats were rising far faster than the others. Strength and Stamina were both creeping upwards at a terribly slow pace and Jason knew it was because the Adamantine Ants had low Strength and Stamina stats.
’If I could gain more than ten percent from each subordinate, then I would be able to grow faster. Well, I shouldn’t be worried about that. I’ll just work towards gaining more kill points so I can upgrade the soldier ants into Rooks and use them to kill stronger beasts.’
Jason nodded to this thought, and once he thought this, he suddenly remembered that he had gained more than enough kill points to finally level up one of the Pawn Rank III subordinates to the Rook Class!
Jason gained a wide smile on his face once he realized this and opened the tab immediately! Jason had been wondering for a while now what it would be like to have a Rook Class subordinate! All the monsters that Jason had killed so far were all Pawns, and Jason knew that even though they were strong, they wouldn’t even hold a candle to the other classes!
