Chapter 31: A 'Divine' Weapon

The moment that it died, Michael shoved the giant bear-shaped treant into his fifteenth bag-slot. When the elemental-beast vanished, a brightly-glowing, Bloodworm-Goblin quickly fell to her knees while panting loudly.

Each of them received fourteen experience for killing the level-seven, rank-E, Elite. Sarah started laughing maniacally, before shouting "Yes! Hahaha, I've finally leveled-up! Wow, I even managed to increase my Darkness Affinity!"

Elina ran over to them and yelled "I can't believe you guys actually did that! I've definitely never heard of anyone killing a treant that way before... but more importantly, the two of you managed to defeat an 'Elite' that was not-only higher level than you, but also a higher rank! It's even stranger that Michael was just throwing rocks at it the whole time!"

She was a lot more excited about the victory, than the two people who did most of the work. The one-armed Human suddenly started laughing hysterically, as he pulled out a small green bead and asked "I wonder if I'll turn into a giant tree-bear-man?"

Seeing what he was about to do, the frantic Priestess shouted "No, stop it!" but Michael completely ignored her.

Unfortunately, a barrier appeared, followed by a notification: "Warning: Players must be at least level-ten before evolving to rank-E."

Which caused him to curse "For fuck's sake! Damn it, this is such bullshit!" before grabbing the falling mana-core and storing it back into his fifteenth bag-slot.

Then Elina scolded "How could you just arbitrarily forsake your humanity like that? What good is being immortal if you get transformed into some kind of monster? Do you plan on living in the wilderness forever?"

He snickered and told her "Calm down~, besides, what's wrong with being a badass tree-man? Well, it would suck if my sex-drive disappeared, but I guess I wouldn't have to masturbate as much... There are pros and cons to everything."

Sarah grumbled "Both of you shut the fuck up for a second and help me decide on what to use my stat-points on." as she stared intently at her status-screen.

Michael immediately said "Your mana-situation is pretty shitty at the moment, so put one into Wisdom and the other into Intelligence." Without waiting for Elina's opinion, she listened to his advice.
