Chapter 1652: Ranking Up
—–
With the soldiers left speechless and confused, we made our way back to the Miners Guild, as we were greeted by the three guild masters, their eyes curious and surprised by our prompt return.
“Y-You guys are back so soon?” Redberries asked, tilting her head in surprise. The Brownie woman seemed interested in my new demonic weapon, glaring at it curiously. “Wait, what is that weapon?”
“You’re sure fast, did you retreat due to the danger? I can’t blame you,” shrugged the Grofunton, the gnome seemed to be smoking from a pipe to relax.
“No wait a second, that weapon is a demonic weapon isn’t it?” asked the goblin, Ershkiek. “I can recognize that monstrous presence… you guys… what happened?”
“It’s a long story but…” I said. “We descended each layer one by one, fighting the Earth Eaters as they appeared, until we got into the last layer, the third layer, and we found our target. Similar to what was happening in the Atlas Flower Garden’s Giant Forest, there was someone from another world there, an undead.”
“Undead?!” the three guild masters were shocked.
“Yes, this time it was a tall, lanky Undead Myconid that wielded this staff,” I explained. “He was guarding a giant crystal and controlling the Earth Eaters.”
“No wait, so this whole time there was someone behind this? It wasn’t a natural thing?” Ershkiek asked.
“I guess it makes sense! There’s no way spirit beasts suddenly change behaviors like that!” Grofunton said, nodding.
“So what happened?” Redberries asked.
“Well, we fought them,” I said. “It wasn’t an easy battle, the thing was strong for what it was, it used the power of the staff to twist itself into a powerful demonic spawn, using my own domain against me… I had to go all-out to take it down, as it resisted most of my elements, I had to get a little creative.”
“S-So you defeated the monsters with him too?” Redberries asked.
“Yeah, no problem with that, they’ve been slain,” I explained. “I’ve got approximately eight hundred of their corpses, I was wondering if I could sell some and also let you confirm them?”
“Oh wow, you really… you’re not kidding?!” Ershkiek screamed as I showed him several monster corpses across the inventory portal.
“Please it’s getting all cluttered there and I would want these to be gone so I can free some of my Inventory space some more,” I said.
Although it was very vast, my inventory wasn’t endless, it had a limited amount of slots, which was currently three hundred. This number could increase by buying special inventory expansions spending Gold or sometimes even Real-Life Money.
The last three upgrades I got to reach max capacity cost $10, then $20, and lastly $30 in the BNLO shop, but it was a worthwhile investment, so I paid for them happily and shamelessly.
“Is there an open area where I can show you?” I asked.
“Yes, yeah, over here,” said Grofunton, guiding me to the backyard, which was big and empty.
There, I placed several hundred of these monster corpses, showing we were the real deal for real! This made them have their eyes widened in disbelief, before they tried to calm down as I placed more, and more, and more, and more into the ground.
“I-It never freaking ends! When are you done placing the damned corpses into the floor?!” Ershkiek screamed.
“D-Did you really hunted eight hundred? That’s freaky…” Redberries asked in disbelief.
“You’re mentally insane…” Grofunton said.
“Wait, what?! No we aren’t, we just released our attacks and baam! All dead,” said Gabriel angrily. “Not our fault the monsties are so weak! We are the strongest.”
“The boy is not wrong…” Grofunton sighed. “My apologies, I was just speechless… It was truly the first time for me to see such a thing. It’ll take a little time to calculate rewards… do you want to sell us these now?”
“Sure,” I nodded. “I’ll keep around 99 using only one slot of the inventory for now,” I said. “With that, I’ll sell you everything else.”
“Impressive… very well,” Ershkiek smiled viciously, the spirit of a goblin flowing through him with each second he saw the corpses. “Hehehe, this is indeed a generous amount of great resources… Thank you for your patronage!”
The guild masters took the corpses of the Earth Eaters, and a large group of goblins and gnomes appeared, beginning to butcher and sort them out one by one, they calculated the price for what it was, and then once it was done, they brought a large bag of money, spirit crystal coins.
“We’ve calculated that the earnings from completing the tasks plus selling the corpses… It should be around 65.000 Spirit Crystal Coins,” Ershkiek said.
“Oh alright, thank you!” I said happily. “Um, and about the guild contribution points?”
“Yes, yes, already calculated, congrats! With such a feat you’ve jumped Ranks once more,” he laughed, as he waved his hand, and the rune in my hand rapidly glowed brightly.
FLAAASH!
In that moment, a new message appeared through the magic projection from the rune itself.

And there it was! I felt even stronger than before, two tiers in one go, this was amazing.
