A few minutes passed, and they finally arrived at the floor where the headmaster of the hunter guild resides. >Eight Floor, Head Master Residence< "Ohh, instructor Bran, what might be your intention of coming here?" "Senior Hunter Hayden, I came here for some important business." "Ohh? Business you say?" "This was Rey, a person from the outside. He was currently in a stage of quansi-saint just like me and he was here to propose a business with the headmaster." "Hmm, a saint who wants to propose a business to the headmaster? A rare seed huh?" "Yes, please let us meet the headmaster." "You may proceed." "Thank you, Senior Hunter Hayden." "Hmm.." … "Instructor, who might that Hayden be?" "He, like me, was a senior hunter, but the difference was that I joined the hunter guild to become an instructor, but he joined as the Head Master's direct subordinate." "You were both the headmaster's subordinate, therefore there aren't any distinctions, aren't there?" "Ahh, direct subordi

Several weeks passed since the king of Dakufindo left from the Demon Realm as to advance to the next stage of sainthood, the true saint. "How many times had passed since I was soaking on this bloody demonic pond? There was still no sign of breaking through?" Muttered Mammon. "Maybe the demonic pond was of no use for your ascension, your highness." Said, one of the demonic being who were in charge of a small kingdom in Demon Realm. "Ohh, But I've been using this pond since I was born, and it even helped me break through to my current state." "Your highness, how about using the method that the humans currently use to advance to the higher stages?" "Ohh? What methods do humans have?" "Their method was to hunt many monsters or battle with each other while the essence of those they have killed was naturally absorbed and converted to their own innergy." "So you want me to return to the human world? Are you an idiot? I forced open the warp that connected to the human realm simply to ge

After another hour, the essence of the ingredients was successfully extracted and formed into a pill. "S-Success!" Remarked, Alchemist Johann. "Already?" "What do you mean? Several hours had already passed! It was even midnight now." "Ohh, being an alchemist sure takes a lot of time." "It certainly is, there was even a time where concocting a higher grade pill takes up to one or two whole days before extracting and entering the phase of mixture." "That long?" "Yes.." "The proof was currently in front of you. Just by making a grade 3 pill takes up at least seven hours before finally taking the form of pill." "So this was a grade 3 pill, huh?" "Yes, pills were classified into four grades: 1st to 2nd grade was labeled as lower grade pill, 3rd grade was intermediate grade pill, 4th grade was higher grade pill, and 5th grade was mystic grade pill. There was also a ranking on being an Alchemy; if you can make a 1st or 2nd grade pill, you will be categorized as apprentice alchemist.

Rey and Khura officially went outside the town to hunt a Great General Monster which has the strength comparable to a Quansi Saint. They walk and walk, and walk further from the deserted land. Both of them felt a presence of a monsters, a monster tide to be precise. "Brother, I sense danger." "Hmm, your senses improved a lot after becoming a human huh? Yes, there is a danger that was approaching and it was not just one, but dozens." "Dozens? Another monster tide?" "Perhaps." "Ebony, do you want to eat some cores?" "Kyahhh~" Ebony appeared and is immediately transformed into the early stage of adulthood. "You grew up, Ebony." Said, Khufra. "Kyahh~" "Brother, here they come!" "Hmm, the ground was unceasingly shaking. A big one was coming.." "A big one?" "When there's a monster tide, there was a boss, and guess what? A boss that was about to arrive was a Great General that we were looking for." "We really found a Great General!" "Khufra, Ebony, you guys will be in charge

"So this is what a Great General would drop? Hmm, Worm Cyclops Fang, a material for forging an indestructible weapon, Uhm, Chrysanthemum Stone 20 pieces, too few... Worm Cyclops Skin? This would get me a lot of crystal stone. How about on your side, guys?" "We collected a minimum of two hundred crystal stones, but.. As Ebony burnt almost half of the tide, we can only bring half the number of rhino’s precious skin to a dismantler.” "It’s okay. Nonetheless, it is a good harvest.. Yes, what a good harvest it is, but..“ “But?” “Where’s the core?” “Gone..” “?..” “There.” “You’re pointing at nothing..” “Exactly, you destroyed the core to nothingness..” “…Yeah?" "Yea.." … The three walked further and further from the desert and hunted once again until the sunset. "Hmm, this much would earn us at least two thousand crystal stones right?" "Yes, brother. Ahh, the sun has already set." "Then, shall we go back now?" "Yes." Just as they were about to return, a person's voice reso
