'FUCK!'

I am barely able to stop myself from cursing loudly; what I had just seen had utterly blown my mind. I had thought Ashlyn had taken the Yellow Grade Runic Dick from me to play around, seeing how many times I have used it, she must have felt curious about it.

She did the same with other Runic disks; she had played around for a few minutes before returning it to me, so when Ashlyn asked for the Runic Disk, I had just thought she was playing around, the thought of her using it never come to my mind.

I've never heard a monster using the artifacts, especially Knight Stage monster, so one could imagine my shock when she did that.

After Ashlyn stored her first killed monster, she went to store second before third and so on. She had killed many monsters on the way, and it took her a few minutes to store all of them before she killed some more Grimm Monsters and store them in the runic disk.

Three and a half hours later, we got out of the most dangerous area; the journey was extremely smooth as I did not have to fight any Grimm Monster.

That happened because Ashlyn had killed all the Grimm Monsters that came in our way before they appeared in front of us, which include seven Eight Star Elites and countless other Grimm Monsters.

She had killed more than a thousand Grimm Monsters in the past three hours and half hours. Just thinking that my eyes started to shine as the amount of Mana crystals and storages I will get from them will be quite immense, not only the Mana crystals, I will have storages and treasures inside them too, I hope this group of Grimm Monsters haves something good in their storages.

It took me a while to get out of my glee and think about the people behind me; this area is my limit. From there I will take them to someone else to take them to safety, it was a good thing there is the complete official procedure for this kind of task.

Now, I just have to find some strong team of human's and hand the charge of these people to them, and they have to accept whether they wanted to it not but most would be more than happy to accept as they will gain the 20% merit of their rescue which is a lot even for the team lead by Seven Star Elite.

I had to search for fifteen minutes before I sensed the team of humans, they are quite strong, and they are in need.

I quickly moved toward them with seventy-something people following behind me, and within five minutes, we have come across team five humans, which is getting badly beaten by the team of seventeen Grimm monsters.

I did not waste even a second and summoned seventeen fireballs together and threw them at the Grimm monsters. My fireballs are uncomparable to Ashlyn's mine's are a lot weaker; they only have the power to kill the Initial Seven Star Elite at most while hers are capable of killing Eight Star Silver Elites.

Dhub Dhub Dhub…

Fireballs struck each and every Grimm Monster before they knew what happened, they all were killed in the second they stuck with the fireball.

"You guys are good?"

I asked the five people who have still shock on their faces seeing the sudden death of the Grimm monsters whom they are planning to run away from as they are stronger than what they can handle.

"Thank You for saving us." said the leader as the shock was on their faces, "I have a task for you guys, I hope your team will take you these guys to safety," I said and showed them a Grey Rectangular Strip.

"Officer!"

All of them shouted in unison, yes I have finally become an officer of 13th Grimm Battlefield. Everyone who entered became a member of Grimm Battlefield and had a rank. The rank advanced automatically as one's power and merit grew.

I, too, had rank, and it had grown till it reached the limit of a normal Soldier, and next was that of the rank of Officer. With the number of Grimm Monsters I've killed, I had enough merit to become an officer but did not have the power, even the lowest level of Officer; the second Lieutenant needs to become peak Silver Elite, which Nine Star Silver Elite.

But the Vice guild master, seeing I had already accumulated enough merit and my power had barely reached the requirement, had made me the 2nd Lieutenant, the lowest of the officers.

It is because of this post; I got an abode and Yellow Runic disk as well as Class 2 access.

"We will be happy to take them to safety, sir!" said the leader while people behind them also nodded eagerly, too eagerly, I may say. With seventy-something people, merit was going to be good, especially when nearly all those who saved are the Silver Elites.

"Give me your badges?" I said, and all of them handed me their guild badges without any hesitation. I touched the rectangular grey strip with all the badges. As I did that a projection appeared on all of them showing the Insignia of the guild and Adventures Paradise.

I type the mission I was handling to them and scanned the people behind me with the scanning ray on the grey grips before I handed their badges back to them.

"Best of luck for your journey!" I said before leaving them, I hope they will safely reach the safe station; once they reach there, they would be absolutely safe as at every safe station, at least one Golden Elite is stationed at the safe station.

I walked for ten minutes before I came across the well-hidden spot. I did not plan to enter the dangerous area tonight as tomorrow I will directly go to Mariana Hill, so I would like to have a peaceful night today as, from tomorrow, I will not have any.

Fighting Dark Vein Hyenamen, I've realized that if I kept playing safe and did not push my limits, I will not be able to improve quickly. So, I have decided to enter the Marinna Hill.

Mariana Hill is extremely dangerous, and with a high density of the Nine Star Elite that I would sense every hour, it is a very dangerous thing to go there with the current power, but it is my only option if I want to become the Nine Star Elite.

The higher one's power is, the harder it is to improve, this is very true. The higher level requires too much progress. In the past two days, I've made small progress when I tested my limits against Dark Vein Hyneman, but it was not enough to scratch the surface to the Nine Star Elite.

I will have to make huge progress if I want to become Nine Star Elite, and with that, if I make enough merit to become 1st Lieutenant, then I would be eligible to apply to become a Vice Guild leader of any outpost.

Though I don't want to become one, I will feel good if I became eligible for that post.
