Chapter 903: Rapid Leveling
-----
After the creation of the hammer and the upgrade of my spear, the following days continued smoothly. We kept our training and exploration of the Elios Garden. Exploring every nook and cranny of it to maximize EXP earned and the corpses of monsters we later sold to the Adventurer's Guild. After hitting Rank 2, as I suspected, the growth speed of my siblings became much slower, even with the bracelets.
Nonetheless, they kept earning levels steadily, and we were gathering enough D Rank Spirit Orbs to evolve most of our Unique Familiars, which constantly hunger for more and more of these with each Rank. As of now, we've already explored almost all of the Elios Garden, it only took us a week and two days to get where we were.
The beginning was full of F and E Rank Monsters, but as we advanced, we confronted D and C Rank Monsters that kept coming together on groups of twelve at a time. The gardens became larger too, making it easier for monsters to hide and ambush us, although we didn't really break a sweat even then.
At the third day of the second week, my siblings had already hit Level 40, only ten levels left before hitting Level 50. Everyone, including my whole family, were amazed they had advanced this fast. The Elios Garden was sure sent by the heavens.
Even though it was rapidly expanding, and it seemed to be controlled by a dangerous monster, because ewe was clearing it so fast, it ended becoming our personal grinding ground.
After killing hundreds of C Rank Monsters, I ended gaining a single level. It was a bit discoursing I needed one million EXP to even level up my first level, going from zero to one, but well, it was something. My siblings had also already gotten used to their new skill and spirits, and had become amazing fighters, working together with their Familiars and my own to dominate our foes.
As the days passed and we sold the monster corpses inside the Adventurer Guild, we managed to speak with the receptionist and learn many new things. One of them was that they have been keeping a close eye on this mysterious garden, and based on explorations, there were three layers to it.
The first Layer was where the F and E Rank Monsters were located, the middle layer was where the D to C Rank monsters were, and there was the center layer, the last of them and the most dangerous. The Guild Master told us he had briefly visited it but had to escape after he was almost killed by B Rank Monsters swarming from everywhere.
He said they were plant monsters similar to cannibal flowers, walking rafflesia, Treants, and the like. No longer the generic monsters we usually see all the time just being infected by flowers, but actual plant monsters. Which were most likely the culprits behind this.
I didn't want to risk it, so as we landed in the middle layer at the third day of the second week, I decided to engage on a single battle before going back home, to not risk my sibling's life.
"Alright, we'll be hunting only a small group of monsters to test the waters. It still too dangerous for you to fight B Rank Monsters. Without our help you still struggle against C Rank Monsters after all." I told the twins.
"Fine! But we'll show you!" Anna was getting slightly cocky.
"I'll shoot from afar. Arrow can help too." Allan said. "Sis, don't be too reckless, okay?"
"Heheh, don't worry about your big sister, Allan. I will protect you." Anna smiled smugly.
"But we have the same age…" Allan was a bit confused she called herself his big sister.
Erika, Eleanora, and Elizabeth accompanied us as well, covering the rear and around us, we quite literally formed a circle around the children. The Familiars also helping. I was also ready to summon more if needed.
"Over there!"
As if they were waiting for us, over thirty plant-type monsters appeared the moment we stepped into the Middle Layer. Cannibal Flowers, Walking Rafflesia, Evil Treants, and even Poisonous Ivy Beasts appeared. They were between C+++ Rank and B Rank. And over thirty of them, half were C+++ Rank, the rest between B- and B Rank.
"Careful!"
The monsters charged towards us without any plans or strategy. The Cannibal Flowers that tried to chomp us down swiftly met their end as Eleanora covered them on draconic flame shuriken and burned them to ashes.
Elizabeth swung her giant hammer, smashing to death the Treants nearby, reducing them to nothing but bits of wood and shattered spirit orb fragments. And Erika used her fast movements and sword to cut through the rafflesia and vines.
Whatever else tried to sneak inside was greeted by my spear, as I weakened them by inflicting several Miasmic Necrotic Wounds over their bodies, draining their life and weakening their stats.
"Now!"
My siblings and their familiars attacked the weakened C+++ Rank and B- Rank Monsters, ganging on them with all their techniques and skills, and beginning to kill a few handfuls. However, as we kept fighting, it felt like their numbers were endless.
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty more appeared, in batches, surging from the ground. It was a nice amount of EXP, I was beginning to gain a few more levels. It might be too dangerous, but by protecting my siblings with barriers of light and my other vampire spirits, we handled the army.
Once we defeated over a hundred and fifty of them, the plant monsters finally stopped coming, their numbers exhausting and leaving the Elios Garden completely empty. There was only another last garden after this one, where I could sense a powerful presence.
"That was definitely targeted." I sighed. "Is everyone alright?"
Everyone nodded, some more tired than others. Well, mostly my siblings, who looked completely and utterly exhausted. Although they were so tired, they were very happy, celebrating.
"We hit Level 50!" Both celebrated at the same time.
"So soon already?" I felt shocked. "Those Bracelets are really amazing…"
Although I wanted to go see who the true boss of this garden was, that'll have to wait for tomorrow. After giving a last glance at the last garden, I moved back home with everyone else.
Don't worry, I won't leave for too long.
