Chapter 76: YGGDRASIL

A hulking red demonic creature roared defiantly as it charged at team RWBY. The creature's charge was halted when its feet were frozen by Weiss, rooting the demonic creature in place, allowing Blake and Yang to attack it on both sides while Ruby took out its eyes with her Crescent Rose.

With Yang landing a literal exploding punch, the demonic creature let out a final cry of pain before perishing.

Ruby and her team let out a sigh of relief as they all sat tiredly on the ground.

"Impressive, you girls took down that level 27 Imp Brute without going below 25% of your health. " Y/n's voice came from behind as the latter walked towards them.

"*Huff* *Huff* *Huff* I'm more surprised that none of us were smashed flat in the first 10 seconds of fighting that thing." Yang said 

"Yeah, that's the usual opening attack of that monster. They're quite notorious for blitzing low-level players that are new to the area. And with your levels ranging between 12-17, fighting that mob monster would've been like a Souls boss fight for you girls.

"Sensei, you do remember that our levels in the game are basically irrelevant at the moment because all of us here are physically inside the game. With our aura's tanking the hits, we could literally walk away unscathed after being hit by a car." Blake said, being the first one to recover her breathing.

"I wouldn't say your levels are irrelevant..." Y/n replied, earning a confused look from Team RWBY.

"Huh?"

"If you increase your racial levels, you can unlock perks and abilities. It would also improve the abilities that you have already unlocked, making you stronger the more you level them up. Of course, I also made sure that your ingame abilities would carry on to the real world so that your 'training' here wouldn't be wasted." Y/n said, shocking them.

"Wait, then that means I can actually use light-based abilities even though I'm a devil!?" Weiss said in shock.

"Yeah, but there are still limitations for the race that you took. Huh, didn't I already explained the basics to you?" Y/n asked.

"No, I don't think you did, Sensei." Blake replied, idly checking her inventory for the drop that she received from defeating their opponent.

"I guess, I forgot about that one, but yeah, the abilities you get here would carry over to the real world." Y/n said.

"THAT. IS. AWESOME!" Ruby cried out as she started to jump around in excitement.

"Woah! Easy there, sis. You're going to end up hitting us with your scythe." Yang said, placing a hand on her sister's shoulder, preventing the latter from bouncing off the ground. She paused when she remembered something. "Speaking of which, how did you manage to bring your scythe here? Everyone in our group aside from you didn't come with their weapons  and was forced to use a beginner weapon provided at the start." Yang said.

"Oh, I was holding Crescent Rose when we logged in." Ruby replied, earning her looks from everyone.

""Why?""

"Well, when we log in, we kind of go to 'sleep'. I don't know about you guys but I can't sleep without Crescent Rose beside me, so yeah!" Ruby replied, earning her several sweatdrops from Y/n and her team.

"To be honest, I'm not really surprised hearing this from her." Blake whispered to Weiss and Yang.

""Same."" Weiss and Yang whispered back, while Y/n just shook his head in amusement.

It has been a day since Y/n presented the idea of training through a video game. Currently, Y/n is teaching Team RWBY the basics of the game while at the same time power-leveling them.
