Riveting Night took a moment to digest what she saw. Now that everyone was collectively out, and she had seen their class details, she finally felt her heart settle somewhat.

Rina's Divine Class was similar to Draco's but much weaker. If it was an average Divine Class, then the Abyssal Prime was a pinnacle one, just inches below Paragon of Destruction.

She also had the horrible exp gain rate, so it meant that all Divine Classes had this cap. Thinking of the horrors Rina would have to suffer to Rank up in the future, Riveting Night felt pity.

However, she decided to finally get down to what she put off earlier, which was to analyze the skills of the core members of Umbra. Riveting Night started with Rina and then worked her way to the others.

Riveting Night's eyebrows rose at the sight of Rina's basic class skills. They were almost as tyrannical as Draco's, which meant that Rina would not have any problem slaughtering thousands of monsters for experience.

...........................

Author's Note: The wait is finally over. The recalcitrant and rebellious editor Devil's Advocate has finally been beaten into submission and is obediently working again.

As such, the chapter release rate would return to 2 a day from now on... which means less free time for me...

Sigh.
