Nysora, who was both intrigued and eager to gain insight, pressed her for an explanation in the hopes that this would shed light on her cryptic suggestions.

"Mell, it seems you have witnessed something you can not tell us about, and I understand why," Finally, she was able to come to the conclusion that Mell was aware of something that she should not discuss.

\'\'But since we have reached this point, would you please avoid confusing us further by at least telling us what to expect from this fight? \'\' Nysora questioned, momentarily taking her gaze away from Raydon and directing it to Mell. 

Mell\'s eagerness and excitement could be picked up on all over her body, heard in her voice, and even seen in the way that her eyes were fixed on Raydon. This demonstrated that the words that she had spoken and the advice that she had given were not simply exaggerations.

Therefore, it was quite clear that she had very high hopes for Raydon\'s upcoming fight. Therefore, if Nysora and the others at least knew what to look out for during the battle, they might be able to concentrate better.

Mell hesitated, torn between secrecy and the realization that it was time to reveal the truth. \'It is probably best if I let them know. \'

There was no point in hiding it any longer because they would soon witness Raydon using the technique.

She also understood that the fight that would unfold in front of them would serve as a profound lesson, an opportunity for them to recognize the flaws in their own techniques and witness Raydon\'s unrivaled skill. 

Mell took a few moments to gather her composure before deciding to reveal the secret.

"What was the highest difficulty level you have achieved in the Training Formation thus far?" She asked, her voice carrying a sense of importance.

Nysora, taken aback by the unexpected question, pondered for a moment before responding. "With my mid-tier movement technique alone, I can reach level 4. However, when I incorporate the low-tier dagger technique, I can manage up to 28 seconds at level 5. But why do you ask?" Her curiosity grew, sensing that Mell\'s inquiry held profound implications.

Due to the fact that she held the best record among battle maids, the others did not even bother to tell their own times, instead concentrating their attention solely on Mell and waiting for her to reveal the information that she had.

Mell, relinquishing her serious demeanor, sported a sly smile as she posed a question that sent a shiver of anticipation through the group.

"Do you happen to know the highest difficulty level attainable in the training formation?" She asked, her voice laced with mischief.

Nysora, furrowing her brows in perplexity, responded with a frown. "As far as I know, the highest difficulty level achieved so far is 7, exclusively by the family leader."

Even though they did not witness it with their own eyes, it was something that was common knowledge among everyone in the family. Because of this, they even believed that level 7 was the highest possible level in the formation and that there was no other level of difficulty higher than it.

"Indeed, the family leader\'s accomplishment at level 7 is well-known. However, that is but a fraction of the formation\'s true limit," Mell proclaimed, her sly smile widening to reveal a set of dazzling white teeth. Her voice exuded an escalating excitement with each passing word.

Arora, unable to conceal her annoyance, interjected with skepticism. "What are you suggesting? Is there someone who surpasses the family leader?" 

For her, the family leader was the strongest and most powerful member of the family. Therefore, the notion that someone might be able to break his record seemed laughable to her.

Mell met Arora\'s skepticism head-on, asserting, "Yes, someone far more talented than the family leader." Her gaze shifted back to Raydon, who stood before the region boss, exuding calm confidence, his daggers firmly in hand.

Everyone in the group realized who she was referring to as their eyes shifted to Raydon and focused on his impeccable posture.

"By employing solely the Demugen family\'s evasion technique, he effortlessly surpassed the family leader\'s record, ascending to level 8 difficulty," Mell revealed, letting loose a truth that would rock them to the core.

"And by incorporating the dagger technique, which you are about to witness in a moment, he stands as the sole individual who has ascended to the pinnacle of the formation—level 10, a threshold unbeknownst to us until now," Mell disclosed, her voice strained with the effort of containing her bubbling excitement as she continued, striving to steady her quivering tone.

\'\'So pay close attention to his every move, for perhaps through witnessing his techniques, you may perceive the flaws in your own,\'\' She urged, her words echoing in the stunned and shocked eyes fixed on her. Having said that, she refocused her undivided attention once more on the upcoming fight.

—

\'\'You arrogant motherfucker, you finally took notice, huh?\'\' Raydon grinned, keeping his focus on the region boss as it at least turned its head to look at him in recognition of his presence.

For a while now, Raydon has been cautiously approaching the boss, carefully assessing its strength. However, the haughty creature had paid him no mind, oblivious to his presence.

Clearly, unlike the mindless mobs Raydon had encountered in the past, this boss possessed enough self-consciousness not to waste time and energy on those it deemed weak.

\'\'It seems like you\'re different from the rest, not just another mindless brute. Finally found a worthy opponent, have I?\'\' Raydon ceased his advance, transitioning from an offensive to a defensive stance.

He couldn\'t be certain if the boss possessed the intelligence of an item holder or if it could employ any combat techniques. But he understood that this wouldn\'t be an easy opponent, given its self-awareness and undoubtedly superior stat points as a D-Rank region boss.
