"It did. But, then the developers buckled down and fixed everything," Yugi said about that particular exploration sandbox. Regardless, there was also the matter of how much the Players had grown overnight. 25 levels in the equivalent of a work shift was nothing to Yugi. Had this been an actual video game, things would be different. "Light work. If this were a real game, I'd be a National Hunter in six hours. Tops," he asserted. "We also found out the kills you guys get counts as experience for us too, so we could probably be S-rank by now if everyone we knew did a Dungeon after we met them."

Moving on from that matter, the well-timed display of Black Flash proved useful for advancing Yugi's point. Moreover, Tae asserted that such a technique was only used by S-ranks. "Doubt it. A-ranks probably just aren't being acknowledged for it," he argued, feeling as if anyone B-rank or above should technically be capable of it ─ albeit accidentally in the case of a B-ranker. As for the 'Plaguespreader' joke ─ it, too, was well-received and apparently something Tae delivered to some uncultured swine earlier. Since Tae was willing to test whatever he came up with, Yugi ensured no archers were presently above before opening the crafting menu again. He even made use of an extra Thread Bind Rune, pairing it with the venom of a spider to create the very first thing Tae could potentially use. "Toxin-Web Grasp. Take that one first," he said while handing over one Rune Stone, simultaneously working on a few more combinations. "Huh. This other one will actually be called Kiss of Death. Life Siphon. Not bad. Epidemic Touch, or Epidemic Wave? The names speak for themselves; your choice."
