"I will?" Laura asked as she pointed at herself in wonder.
"Yes, you are a human that had once been possessed and can now use demonic energy, those like you are rare and the best way to improve your strength is by becoming a demon hunter since you will need to battle a lot of demons in the future, they get drawn over to you like moths to a fire," Aethion said before sighing.
"Of course, it's not like that's the only way to improve, there are others who decided to take different paths, but being a demon hunter is usually the one that turns out to be the most beneficial since your skills deal more damage to demons, not to mention the fact that you also learn how to use your demonic energy more efficiently."
"But for the others, honestly, you can just focus on improving yourselves, even without a class, each one of you already has incredible strength, a class won't really boost your power that much, so there is no real need for you guys to focus on improving it that much," Aethion said as the others all nodded.
It had been quite some time since any of them had really had to use their class skills, except for Laura and Tank who were always using some of the shield skills he had from the class.
But overall, their classes were really things that didn't benefit them that much right now.
Upon hearing Aethion's words, they decided to listen to him. The old bastard was once an enemy and it was still a bit weird to be taking advice from him as they still remembered how they fought against him and how he almost killed Reign, but he hadn't done anything to really lose their trust ever since his soul was bound to Reign's.
As for the goal of conquering the mountain range, that would be a truly difficult one.
They still had no idea just how powerful the monsters deep inside the mountain range were.
One thing was certain, however, and that was that there was no way that there was only Tier II monsters deeper inside, there would definitely be Tier III monsters as well.
The difference between the top Tier II monsters and the ones at the bottom was even larger compared to Tier I thanks the huge disparity in levels.
To reach Tier III, one needed to be level 200. It would take an incredibly long time to do that.
Still, the mere thought of going deeper and deeper inside the mountain range and fighting stronger enemies excited Reign and the others.
They first decided that they would take the day off.
The territory had suddenly gained a bunch of different buildings and the players were running around and trying things.
As for the items that Reign and the others had gotten after defeating the Tier II monsters, they decided to sell them off.
The fox and Arash had dropped some items, but because the two had been nearly finished by the time Reign and the others had attacked them, they didn't drop anything that was really that valuable.
They were unable to use any of the items and were selling those off as well.
As for the stash that Arash had, that would be the main focus for the day. They took out all the items and started counting them. Arash had a lot of stuff, there were about 3 rank S items, 30 ranks A items, and over a hundred rank B items.
The party still had the tickets that would give them a rank S item each, but they were holding off on using those until later in the day.
They visited the elves in order to see if they would be able to help them out with reading the documents that Arash had.
Even though they doubted that there would be any important things in the documents, it was still better to check than to simply get rid of them.
They contacted the best teams in the territory and showed them a couple of the rank S items while the rest would be sold in the auction house. Of course, they would be sold through the auction house for the territory, nobody that was not a part of the territory would have access to buying the items.
The influx of money that Reign and the others were suddenly receiving was great and they had managed to earn back a good part of the money they had spent in order to upgrade the territory yesterday.
As for Greenie, he had gone down below the building and was sitting cross-legged in the underground area. Access to the area was forbidden as at this moment, Greenie was also going through an evolution.
His, however, was different compared to the ones that Reign and the others had gone through.
He was sitting cross-legged on the ground in his Vajra form while a phantom of Vajra himself had appeared above him. There was no mana undulation coming from any of the two and the evolution seemed to be going quite peacefully at the moment.
Atop the first mountain in the mountain range, however, something was happening inside the base of the demons.
After Reign and the others had left the base, the demons started cleaning everything up and trying to access the important buildings.
The headquarters was partially destroyed, but the communication crystal was still there. It worked, and the demons quickly used it to call the demons from the more powerful bases in order to report what had occurred.
The demon that talked with them seemed to not really care and simply told them that he would report it to the higher-ups, only to call them sometime later and say that reinforcements would be sent and that they would arrive tomorrow.
The demons were confused but also overjoyed after hearing the news. They were certain that the other bases would abandon them and that no help would arrive, only to actually get reinforcements.
Deeper inside the mountain range, inside a large demon base, one demon had destroyed a building in his rage before looking at a couple of demons that had arrived.
"Arash is dead." The older demon spoke as the others all had their eyes open wide in shock.
"He was killed by a group of humans."
"I want the five of you to go there and find out what exactly happened, also, I want all humans that resided on that mountain dead, understood?!"
"Yes, master." The five respectfully bowed before leaving.
Reign and the others had no idea that their killing of Arash would cause a chain reaction that would make even the senior ash demons inside the mountain range wary of them.
A group of humans killing a Tier II demon was not something that was incredibly shocking, it was the fact that it was too soon for humans to possess such power.
Most humans at this point we're at about level 45, those that had reached Tier I were rare amongst the populace, while Tier II humans were almost unheard of.
As for Reign and the others, they were back in the territory and had come back to the building.
Greenie was still not done with his evolution, even though he had started the process about 6 hours ago.
Wolf had gone to Adrian in order to check whether the armor he had ordered was finished, he also delivered the body parts of the wolf and what little remained of the fox to the old smith in order for him to make even more items.
Adrian grumbled upon seeing the body parts but still took them before giving Wolf his new armor.
He was still using the rank A Armor of Minor Chaos and it was time to switch. After becoming a tier II fighter, Wolf was able to feel that the chaos energy that the armor had was simply too weak to be useful against the monsters they were fighting against now.
The armor he had received from Adrian was not only rank S, but it was a mid-grade rank S armor that would be useful for him until much later on. Not to mention the fact that the armor was perfect for him as it boosted his fire as well as his strength.
Upon coming back to the building, he showed the armor off to Reign and the others before they all sat down in the living room.
It was time to check the final rewards that they had gotten after finishing the quest.
Each of them had managed to get a rank S item and they would now finally see what exactly they had received.
They all took out the tickets before ripping them apart. The tickets suddenly started glowing before making a small portal from which an item emerged.
They all took their items and looked at them before each one of them started smiling. Every single one of them seemed to be quite content with what they had received.
