nAs I glanced at Partner’s new appearance and status, I found out she was way stronger than an average E-Rank monster… the only one I recall having such high stats was the Manticore!

nWell, she’s E , so that probably means she’s above the average E-Rank monster.

nHmm, I wonder if humans have ranks too? I wish I could take a look at them.

nBut for now, we should concentrate on the task of… rescuing a Fallen Dragon. Who would have thought that such a task would be the first one I would have?

nAlthough I couldn’t help but admire the cuteness of Partner, we couldn’t just sit here petting each other’s heads.

nPartner equipped her armor and held her spear once more as we decided to descend through the stairs once more.

nThe first thing we found was…!

nNothing. Another empty floor.

nFloor 12 to 15 was a breeze, as nothing happened… there wasn’t even a little bug. Well, I suppose Floor 11 was filled with bugs that were hunting anything above and below.

nLucifer (edgy name, I know) should be on Floor 20 if I recall correctly. Five more Floors and we can finally meet him.

nOn floor 16, however, we met with an unprecedented challenge, a Slime Nest…

nThe stairs that led downstairs were already pretty slimy, filled with ooze, although not alive. But when we got here… well, it was a slime fest!

nSlimes of all colors and sizes greeted us, stuck to the ceilings, the floor, the walls, and pretty much everywhere my eyes could see.

nIt was a feast made of EXP.

nOf course, Slimes are still dangerous monsters, their Digestion can even devour souls, so they can damage me directly! But it’s not like I am going to let them touch me anyway!

nPartner started by roaring as she pointed her spear and impaled three Slimes right away. Her precise attacks were surprisingly strong, and the slime cores were shattered in an instant!

nCRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

nAs she advanced through the wave of slimes jumping towards us, some of them began to launch their bodies as projectiles, and the corrosive slime slowly began to burn through her clothes and armor, and even her flesh, but she seemed unaffected.

nShe was expressionless, but this was probably due to her benign undead, who can’t feel pain.

nI didn’t just float there doing nothing; I hid behind her like the excellent Ghost Queen that I am and began to fire dark spheres and dark gales in quick succession, continuously, while also absorbing Mana and Life from the Slimes, which were all mixed up around us.

nThe result? A bombastic EXP fest!

nBOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

nThe slimes began to explode before my almighty dark spheres!

nThere was a lot, but they were the same slimes we met on the first floors.

nMy magic had progressed by quite a lot, so it was customary for them to die as their cores shattered into pieces by the explosive power of my Dark Spheres or the slicing potency of my Dark Gale, all according to keikaku.

nDespite my reckless approach, I had carefully planned everything! …Or did I?

nWell, the slimes were also showering me with attacks.

nSome of them even conjured fireballs, water bullets, and even little rocks they threw at a pretty fast speed. These were Elemental Slimes and seemed like the evolutions of the colorful slimes.

nHowever, against the might of my Dark Attribute Magic and the power of my equipment boosting my stats and the power of dark attribute damage enhancement, these slimes stood no chance!

nThough… my HP was constantly lowering even with Partner taking some hits for me.

nBoth of us would’ve been killed if it wasn’t for our Life Drain Skills.

nOh yeah, Partner also had it, so she abused it as much as she could.

nThe amount of EXP kept piling up, and as we began to level up, we rushed across the entire floor, and we reached the end… we were completely covered in slime.

nIt had been almost an hour, and it was finally over.

nThese insane rampages where we got a lot of EXP, but we constantly lost HP only to recover it just barely, are really addictive. Or maybe I am just addicted to the EXP gains?

nHuh… Whatever the case, the EXP was good… We’ll be pretty strong before Lucifer even meets us.

nWe’ll have to thank him for granting us such a nice bundle of EXP for us.

nDing!

nCalculating EXP…

nYou’ve gained 3760 EXP

nEXP: 3780

/1200

nYour level has increased to Level 11!

nEXP: 2580

/1400

nYour level has increased to Level 12!

nYou can now evolve!

nLevel 12! I can finally evolve! Nice! How convenient that we found two giant armies of living EXP bags.

nMaybe I should go to the human city next and slaughter them all to get even more EXP?

nMassive groups of beings give the best rewards- Wait, I just got pretty genocidal all out of a sudden… Why? Was I this devilish before? Maybe being a ghost **ed up my psyche?

n“Anyways, time to evolve, no need to think about that stuff that no one cares about. We are all here for the level ups, undead, and evolution after all, right, Partner?”

nPartner was slowly regenerating her wounds as she started to slurp the slimes.

nTime to evolve!

nLet’s see…

nEvolution Options

nShadow Ghost

nWailing Ghost

nAbyssal Ghost

n…

nThree options… Shadow Ghost, Wailing Ghost, and Abyssal Ghost…

nLet’s see…
