The difference between Layer 1 and 2 was a bit bigger than that between 0 and 1.I felt considerably more powerful, and that immediately reflected on my combat ability.I was no longer getting hit by random attacks as much, and even those that found perch failed to do much damage to me. It wasn’t just that my [Plastic Body] could harden… well, harder, but it was also a matter of my body simply being more durable.Fueled by the sudden increase of might, I broke away from the small batch of weaklings and bolted straight for a goblin elite.
