Chapter 78: 77. Evolution

Two days before moving.

Extermination Rank is the same as Dungeon Rankings. The higher it was, the more dangerous it was, and the faster it should be taken care of immediately.

Lilith was an underground boss that captured Sector after Sector in a Stronghold, almost taking it over in the process.

Extermination Rankings start from D and would go up, and the higher it was, the more attention one would get from the Hunter's Association. As Lilith raised her head to look at the proud expression of her daemons, she was very relieved that she already planted a plan B.

"Sigh, I can understand your pains, but from now on, we're going to stop killing humans, or else the human associations will come and hunt us down."

"Ha! No worries, I can take them all down!" Chief laughed as he stared at Lilith with a smug look on his face.

This caused Lilith to have a headache even further, "That's not it, Chief. The ones you just met are weaklings compared to the real experts. You're LVL 199 now after killing some humans last night, but those guys were mere weaklings. The real deal is the A rankers and beyond…my mother told me that."

Lilith had to add the last line to ensure Dhampy would not look at her funny. Lilith was a daemon; she can't be in possession of human information without any plausible reason, else that's just stupid. Anyone could ask her how her supposed mother gathered the knowledge, and Lilith would just say she doesn't know and play the part of the lonely orphan.

Chief had a strange look on his face as confusion settled in. Lilith could only explain the situation to them as she could not just send them a letter detailing the things they wish to learn.

'Dammit, I'll teach them how to read later. They speak the Cosmic Language, so they should also be able to learn reading them sooner or later.'

Cosmic Language was the start of all words and the language ingrained in the systems. Of course, the system conforms to the language depending on the user, but most daemons know the Cosmic Language.

"Chief, listen. No, not just Chief, everyone listen to me. According to my Mother, the Extermination Rank is extremely important because the highest-ranking Hunter will appear depending on the rank.

"She once said that she was designated an A+ Extermination Rank and three hundred humans appeared ten of which were at LVL 351 and above."

"351!?" other than Dhampy, everyone else was surprised.

"Yes, that's correct, 351. Good, you guys are paying attention."

The daemons were surprised, and they were naturally so. The level cap for Epic Tiers was 250, and those who step on the Legendary Realm were 251 and above. Meaning those humans were comparable to a Legendary Tier.

"Do you get it now? Humans are dangerous when we touch them; it is like poking a beehive, kill one, and an entire army will come rolling to our side. I would like to actually become a LVL 250 Legendary Tier daemons, but even that is hard.

"I still lack the ability to help Chief or any of the Epic Tier reach Legendary Tier, so we must be cautious of who we kill. We can let loose upon this world if three or five of us reaches Legendary Tier, do you all understand?"

"Yes!" Everyone agreed; even Dhampy nodded her head at Lilith's words. Humans were dangerous; they were the dominating race, after all.

But a Legendary Tier was also dangerous. The one she fought was a LVL 1230 Vampire Lord. Though she slew it, the ramification caused her to become who she currently was.

'Legendary Tiers are almost impossible to hunt. They do not have a level cap, so their growth rate is impossible to know. It is tough to deal with them.' Dhampy's memories flooded her mind.

Seeing all of them agree to her words, Lilith felt somewhat satisfied that they were at least willing to change.

"That is good then; with that said, everyone, prepare to move. We're leaving this place; the humans will arrive here in two days, so we better scram as soon as we can. Take care of the wounded and then feed the weak. The Meat Cores will be packed away so we can take it with us for provisions."

Sylva and Dhampy were just about to follow her orders when Lilith stopped them.

"Both of you stay, it is currently still early in the morning, but I want you guys to pick what kind of evolution branch you will take. It is about time the two of you evolve to your new forms."

Their faces beamed from excitement. Though Dhampy's expression was not exactly that 'flattering' to see as she rarely shows a semblance to someone celebrating, a single smile showed how happy she was.

Lilith asked Alpha to show them their choices:

[Name: Dhampy Qurenara

Evolution Matrix:

Hell Spawn: 15,000 LE

Blood Devil: 25,000 LE

Ancient Death Monarch: 40,000 LE]

"I choose the Ancient Death Monarch."

[Blood Lord –> Ancient Death Monarch

Requirements:

[Ÿ] Land of a Hundred Deaths

[Ÿ] Dragon Blood

[Ÿ] Midnight]

Dhampy did not hesitate to pick what seemed to be the strongest of the forms. Lilith looked at the LE price and almost fainted; thankfully, she had enough reserves.

When she evolved, her LE reserves reached 99,999, and that quickly filled when she killed the humans back in the Forest of Beast, but it seems like if she didn't evolve first and upgraded herself first, then making Dhampy evolve would be impossible.

But it was lucky that she could actually provide for her.

"This should be easy, I have the LE reserves to bestow upon you, and over a hundred people did just die, so this place should be considered a Land of Hundred Death, and as for the Dragon Blood, I can spare you some, wait for midnight, and I'll help you evolve."

"Thank you, boss."

Dhampy thanked Lilith, and this time, it was Sylva's turn to pick.

However, when the Evolution Matrix emerged before Sylva, the only thing that appeared was… a single choice.

Only one evolution appeared, no requirement was needed, and can be evolved without a problem, but as for the status and the name, it was pretty fucked up.

[Golden Wanderer –> @#$*(^&$#@~# (55,000 LE)]
