Nero, The Legendary Hunter

'Now I can kill level 7 bosses...' Jingu was strictly happy.

"Well, shall we go up to the second floor?" Nero didn't really care about the first floor; there were few monsters above level 5. She needed a lot of Level 6+ Monster Cores to level up after all.

_ _

[Water Monster [Mutant Turtle] (Big Blue) Level F: Level 6 – Was Summoned!]

[Beastly Monster [Platinum Wolf] (Luna) Level F: Level 6 – Was Summoned!]

[Human Plant Monster [ Demonic Humanoid Slime ] (Gabi) Rank F: Level 6 - Was Summoned!]

[Earth Monster [ Gorilla Yin-Yang ] (Monkey King) Level F: Level 6 – Was Summoned!]

[Earth Monster [Red-skinned Gorilla] (Duchess) Level F: Level 8 – Was Summoned!]

[Waterfowl Monster [Valent Penguin Quadrgeminals] (...) Level F: Level 10 – Was Summoned!]

_ _

"Wow, go with all six if you count the Quadrgeminals, 9?" Honda was in shock. Nero could easily do this alone with her invocations.

Of the four penguins, one wore a large shield, another a large sword, another appeared to be an assassin as he wore two daggers behind him, and the last carried a gigantic hammer. They were in formation, with the protection of the squire.

"Well, I only need level 6+ monsters. Below that you don't even need to attack," Nero commanded.

The '6' moved. They were relentless. In a short time 7 to 8 monkeys had died. Jingu, Honda, and Choko had to hurry if they wanted to kill anything too.

The gorilla duo was mostly the most relentless, punching the other gorillas hard in the head and then trailing Nero by the leg.

Nero grabbed the Black Widow and started cutting at monsters. It was pretty easy. Of course, she had very high speed and strength. It was without comparison, even without having experience in a sword, a sword was still a sword. If it was used to cut, it would cut.

When she used <Obscure Vibration>, the sword was surrounded by a dark aura and vibrated at the same time, and as the sword vibrated, the cut was clean without leaving a trace of blood on the sword.

The attack was very powerful and satisfying. But Nero saw that it put a lot of pressure on the sword. Afraid of losing her newly acquired sword, she avoided using this skill with the sword. Regardless, she could kill easily with a simple swing of a sword. She didn't need to use the skill.

It ended with Nero killing 111 level 6 and 10 level 7 monsters. Choko also killed a lot. She killed 3 level 7 and 40 level 6 monsters, and some level 5.

"If we go up, will it be penguins and they'll let Nero kill them again?" Honda muttered aloud.

"I hope so," Nero laughed.

"It can't be, right?" Jingu had a strange expression.

"..."

Arriving on the third floor, when the penguins saw Nero, they knelt down.

This time the boss was different. It was a small penguin with a fencing sword, and he also knelt down.

"It's okay if I kill them, yes? It's not my fault they're acting like this," Nero said. Honda and Jingu preferred not to speak.

"Of course you're right. A monster is still a monster. If they feel some respect for you or something and let you kill them, it's not your fault," Choko said.

"Well..." Nero started with the Black Widow sword. She killed them all.

… Afterwards, Nero heaved a sigh. That was too weird.

"Shall we go to floor 4?" Nero asked.

"Yes, I'm interested in knowing what's there," Honda said.

Jingu also agreed and Choko didn't raise any objections. The four, along with Nero's 6 (9) summoned monsters, went up the stairs.

Arriving on that floor, they were stared at by pairs of red eyes. Bulls and cows, everything was above level 7. For Nero and Choko it was still easy, but Jingu and Honda hadn't reached level 7.

"Better go back?" Honda shuddered. There were, after all, about 300 of them.

"Okay." Nero was already satisfied. She had enough to level up.

*

At the inn, Nero and Choko bathed.

Nero used <Plunder> on all of the carcasses and gained a total of 37,883 [Essence Coin]. Choko got 3,934 [Essence Coin]. Well, if they sold the rest of the monsters, they would earn a lot more coin, but for now, they didn't need to.

Choko started training as soon as she got out of the shower. Hopefully, she would reach level 9, that is, Rank D-. From level 9 to level 18 was Rank D. From 19 to 28 was Rank B. 29 to 38 was Rank A. 39 to 50 Rank S. 51 to 100 was SS.

Of course, every class after D had an extra measurement of rank like D- / D / D+. Only level 10 became Rank D and 15+ D+.

At first, Nero thought of absorbing all 319 level 6 Monster Cores, but as the pre-requirement to level up was at least level 6, it was quite possible that she wouldn't need that large of a count to make it to the next level. It would be better to give the extra Monster Cores that were left to Choko, so she took only the amount she would need to level up and set the rest aside for Choko. 

- -

Absorb 298 [Monster Core] Level 6 – Yes / No?

- -

'Yes.'

[Choose new subclass: [Archer] – [Justicewoman] - [Muse] – [Knight] – [Swordswoman] – [Paladin] – [Runic Knight]

- -

'Ohh? Archer was an attractive class, as I was about to start using my bow more often. I liked using the sword, but I also have a lot of magic power, so... I'm going with [Runic Knight]!'

[Congratulations, you got the subclass: <Runic Knight>!]

[All stats increased by 10!]
