"AAAQAAARGH! WHAT A-"

Between the screams of the newly formed consciousness, I absorbed the core of the evil spirit with the vortex of darkness appearing around me.

Just as was before in the dungeon, the same scene happened again.

The aura of Nihil's absorption and the blood aura of the spirit Veraanix was clashing.

/SWOOSH/

But in the end, the one that ended up being swallowed was Veraanix.

<Ding! Quest [Criminal Hunting] is finished.>

<Rewards are being distributed.>

This was also what marked the end of the fight.

With the system bombarding me with notifications, I was left alone on a field of destruction that was the result of the fight.

'What a scene, huh?'

<Ding! Nihil finished absorbing the core.>

<Ding! Nihil is being strengthened. The characteristics of the Spirit Sword Nihil are strengthened.>

Hearing this, I nodded my head.

'That was worth the effort.'

"Master, Nihil feels strong now."

Suddenly turning into a form of a human, appearing before me was the same girl with black hair and bright red eyes.

"Good for you, then."

"Hehe…."

Slightly patting her head, I gave her the parenting service she wanted.

Although I am not good at dealing with children and I don't like dealing with them, it is still manageable to some extent since Nihil is more like a docile and calm type.

"Now, turn back to your sword form."

"Okay, master."

Saying that she took her normal form again.

Now, although I really wanted to use my normal magic in the fight, since the enemy's strength was close to five-star, I didn't have the luxury to.

'My magic is still a lot behind than my sword.'

That was what I intended to fix.

'Anyway, now let's check my rewards.'

With that thought, I started looking at the reward panel that appeared before me.

------------------------------------

Questline – Hunter's Path

Quest – Criminal Hunting 

Definition – As a hunter, you need to hunt, but your only prey is not monsters with ugly looks. You need to hunt the ones in human skin as well.

Conditions – Hunt the criminals you have seen in the file given to you

Completion Rate – S

(Since the host has defeated both the criminals and the evil spirit residing in the weapon without giving it a chance to escape or fight with the host, the execution of this mission is perfect.)

Rewards – Passive Skills: Earth Resistance(Level 2), Blood Magic Resistance(Level 3), Stats: Increase in the perception stat by 0.2, strength stat by 0.1

----------------------------------

Seeing the rewards in front of me, a smile and a sigh escaped from my mouth.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

'The quest was not that hard for me to complete, so the rewards won't be very huge either; that was pretty much what I had expected as well.'

Since the system doesn't give anything freely out of somewhere, there needs to be a difficulty to overcome or an achievement to get a reward.

But, the way it gives me rewards is purely out of my control.

'Although I don't dislike improving my physical aspects, if the balance is broken, my goals won't be fulfilled.'

Since I also understand the pattern system gives rewards that are parallel to the tools or things you have used while dealing with the quests. Just as in this one, since I had fought mostly with my physical aspects, it gave rewards related to that.

'However, using magic was not an option. So, let's content what we have in our hands.'

That was what I had in mind.

Since my physical stats keep improving, it is very hard for my magic to catch up normally.

'It seems the time for me to focus purely on my magic has come.'

Now that I had finished this quest that I was planning to finish before I left for the academy entrance admission, there was no need for me to waste any more time in this place.

/THUD/

Just as I was thinking like that, I heard the voice of something collapsing from the carriage.

'It seems she has regained her control.'

Of course, I hadn't forgotten the person that was in the carriage with Thomas when I confronted him; it was just there were more pressuring matters for me rather than a stranger, like the rewards I was going to get.

Turning my head to the place where the voice came from, there I saw debris being moved.

I was saying debris since the carriage was pretty much destroyed by the aftermath of our clashes.

"Cough…. Cough…."

Slowly walking out of the debris, there was a face that revealed itself.

A face that was covered with pretty much dust all over the face.

However, seeing the figure that was having a hard time getting out of the debris, I decided to help.

"Wait for a second."

Saying that I started approaching.

'Wow, everything is really broken, though it seemed this carriage was of a high quality.'

Although, in the end, it was broken and tattered to pieces, the carriage still held for quite a long time showing it was a high-quality one.

After reaching the body that was covered under the debris, I carefully grabbed it.

/THUD/

And with a sudden and fast move, I lifted the debris, revealing the body that was underneath.

A body that was pretty tiny. 

And a face that was filled with dirt all over, though even that was not enough to conceal the shining platinum hair that was falling on her waist.

There my eyes locked with eyes that were burning with very strong hatred and resentment at the same time.

Eyes that were bright grey were now looking at me with a very strong hatred.

No, it was not only looking at me like that. It was looking at everything with such emotions like they hated everything about this world.

/SWOOSH/

And there, an attack came to my face the moment I released her.

/THUD/

Though it was pretty slow…..

For those who want to know, Nihil won't be a harem member. She will more likely become the mascot of the story or maybe the cute little character spot. So, Callius won't ever have any interest in her as a member of the opposite gender.
