Chapter 61 Adventurer Rank Promotion Commission

[H-Hmph, I'm already on the 13th floor. I'm different than you.]

"Good for you…"

It wasn't sarcasm.

Evan was really was happy for her.

Reaching the 13th floor of the 'Graveyard of the Arrogant' could be considered a feat for a D rank adventurer.

This was taking into notice that the highest floor that had been reached was the 60th floor.

If Ralphie knew that the floor he was on with Evan that day was the 100th he'd probably pull his hair out due to stress.

[I-If… If it angers you that much, hurry up climb up! There's no time to dawdle on the 4th floor!]

"You seem to be forgetting that I'm a runaway son, right? Merdin is too close to the capital, if I'm spotted there I'd be caught instantly."

[Eek, do something about that with your spirit! That black cat could enter people's shadows right, can't you use that power too. Use it to sneak in!]

"… Heh."

[W-What…]

"Your strange ideas never cease to amaze me. How sure am I that you aren't a runaway kid too?"

[!? No, I'm definitely not!]

"I see, so you are, huh? Don't worry, i won't spill the beans."

[Uuuu… do what you want! Next time, you contact me first, stupid!"]

Then she cut the connection.

Evan laughed as he figured she'd probably call him soon to apologize for calling him stupid.

'She seems like a little sister.

I never had one so I'm not sure but this is definitely how I'd feel having one.'

He conveniently ignored the fact that Eliza was actually more than 3 years older than him. Laughing to himself he sliced off the neck of the Hobgoblin mage in front of him.

"GUAAAA!!!!"

Perhaps said hobgoblin mage was the mate of the other hobgoblin in the party he was fighting, but it suddenly screamed out and rushed at him with the ferocity of a moving truck.

"Truck-Sama reincarnated as a goblin?"

The goblin ignored Evan's words as it swung its club at a speed that Evan of a few weeks ago would be unable to catch with his eyes.

'However, I'm stronger now.'

Evan predicted the club's trajectory and dodged accordingly. He rose his hand to counter attack, but the goblin suddenly went silent and dropped to the ground with silently.

Looking at its corpse, he could see a familiar black sword sticking out of the back of its head. Evan sighed and sheathed his spare sword before turning his gaze to the one who threw it.

"Really, Pride?"

"You were wasting too much time, don't forget we have a bandit base to raid."

"I didn't."

Evan replied as he pulled out the sword and tossed it back to the fair skinned demon standing a few feet from him.

While Pride had originally just planned to let Evan use the sword while she resided in it, she changed her mind and decided to polish her skills that had become rusty after a thousand years.

This left Evan with no choice but to use the spare weapon he had gotten from the Duke on the day he went to Merdin.

**PANG!! PANG!!!

'I need to get a new weapon.'

He addressed his current lack of weapon as he turned his gaze to the source of the sound he suddenly heard.

In the sky, one could see a giant ball of lightning that unleashed powerful bolts of golden lighting, roasting whatever unfortunate foes they hit.

"Kayla's going wild, huh?"

"This much is expected from a great spirit, even if she is at the mid rank currently."

Evan nodded in response to Pride's words as he walked in the direction of the lightning orb.

Upon arriving, he was met with the sight of dozens of dead goblin corpses scattered all over the floor.

Each of them was charred blacker than Evan's hair as they let of steam, showing how recently the goblins had been sent to the afterlife.

"Kayla"

[MASTER!]

The little black-haired spirit flew towards Evan with a look that screamed 'Praise Me!'.

Evan couldn't help but sigh as he patted her head while praising her for a job well done. He then fished out their magic stones and tossed them into his space expansion bag before announcing the continuation of their journey.

As Pride said earlier, they were currently doing a commission to increase Evan's adventurer rank from E to D.

It was a commission to take out a gang of bandits that had taken refuge in a cave located within a nearby forest.

Evan had decided to let Kayla and Kuro go wild on the way but the shadow spirit preferred to stay on the sidelines while binding opponents with his shadows.

While he was above average in close combat, Kuro preferred to give support instead so he rarely bothered with it.

As Evan was lost in his thoughts, Pride suddenly snapped her head in a certain direction, kicking off the ground a moment later as she charged towards the pile of bushes there.

"GUH!"

Her nails grew out into claws instantly as she reached her hands into the bushes and grabbed the neck of the man inside.

She pulled her hand out to reveal a middle-aged man wearing worn out leather armour, struggling to escape from her iron like grip.

Evan's eyes widened in surprise as he had not noticed the man's presence at all. Kuro on the other hand yawned and disabled the shadow magic that was holding the man's feet to the ground.

Pride looked the man over several times before nodding to herself as she came to a conclusion.

"This is very obviously a scout of the bandits you are to eliminate."

"No shit. I didn't even notice him there."

Evan replied as he walked closer to the man who was still struggling to escape from Pride's grip on his throat.

'Full Appraisal.'

Seeing as the bandit was skilled enough to avoid his detection, Evan decided not to take any chances and used 'Full' Appraisal even though it consumed more energy.
