Nero, The Legendary Hunter

After showering and having dinner, Nero and the rest went to an isolated area where it was okay to meditate and expel impurities. Just in case, Elsa was around to protect them should something happen.

Nero, in turn, did not know how to do this in front of her sister's surveillance. After thinking, she decided to do it even with Elsa watching. Nero's instincts confirmed that she could trust her, although she didn't want to explain too much. It would be better if Elsa knew as soon as possible.

'Actually, I think she already knows....' It wasn't the first time Nero had been watched by Elsa. If she didn't ask, it was because the degree of trust she placed in Nero was higher than she imagined, to the point of waiting for Nero to tell her of her own volition without having to ask.

Coming to this conclusion, Nero removed the 25,000 monsters from level 14. Little by little, she continued using <Plunder>. It took approximately 2 hours for her to finish. Many good items appeared from the monsters on which she used <Plunder>. The fact that she got so many good items was due to her luck that had increased to an absurd degree.

'I wonder… how lucky would someone at my level normally be?' She soon discarded that doubt. Thinking about it would get her nowhere.

Nero's speed in using <Plunder> really impressed Elsa. She already had a vague idea, but when she saw it, it was something else entirely. Even though she wasn't able to do that herself, it took Nero less than one second for each time she used <Plunder>. That was totally out of the question.

Elsa's vigilance only increased when she saw this. She would not allow anyone suspicious to see this. 'This kind of secret must be kept under lock and key!'

Oblivious to Elsa's concerns, Nero removed the 25,000 cores from the level 14 monsters. At the same time, she took out the monster cores and they started to disintegrate, turning into light particles and heading towards Nero at an incredible speed.

'My God!' At that moment Elsa was already terrified!

She wasn't able to get that energy absorption speed from monster cores. At best, she would need 10 minutes to be able to absorb the energy from these nuclei. Remember, she was an A + Rank Hunter. The difference between her and Nero was too great, yet she couldn't compare herself to Nero.

'No wonder she's getting strong so fast... No, if she wanted to, she could already even be Rank B if she chose to venture out alone...' Knowing this fact made Elsa even more proud of Nero, and at the same time, she feared even more that these secrets would be discovered. 

'I need to talk to her about this.' Even though she didn't want to intrude and be branded as annoying, or even nosy, she feared for Nero's safety.

Meanwhile, on Nero's retina, new information was appearing.

Nero's eyes opened. She then looked at her status.

'The amount of extra points is already at an absurd level...' Nero didn't even know what to do with so many extra points. Despite having a vague idea that she could use them to heal other people, if possible she wanted to find a different alternative.

Stretching, Nero notices that she had not expelled impurity. The fact that this happened even when leveling up was surprising in many ways, but at the same time, it was to be expected.

'I'm almost at Rank C…' Nero stood up as she thought about this. To reach rank C-, it was necessary to reach level 29.

Per the Hunter Card configuration, Nero was currently at level 28. Of course, her level always doubled on the Hunter Card, but that didn't mean it was Nero's true power, as she had all of her attributes at the maximum possible level. That is, if she were to fight someone from Rank C-, there was a good chance she would win, or at least get away with her life.

As she thought about it, another message appeared on her retina.

- -

Nero was stunned for a few seconds. The prize for reaching the next level was too attractive!

Another thing was also causing Nero to breath deeply for air. 'I have almost 40 million [Essence Coin].'

After completing floor 4, she completed the quest and gained 4,5k [Essence Coin]. If she completed floor 5, she would receive another 5k [Essence Coin] and 2 [Upgrade Equipment] (By 10% up to Rank C).

While lost in thought, as Nero thought of her present and future rewards, Elsa appeared in front of her.

"Nero, we need to talk."
