Now that I’m a snake, I’m finally a D rank monster.
How incredible is this… In order to get a feel for that, I need to talk about the monster ranks in this world.
G ranks are monsters even untrained people can beat.
F ranks are monsters you have to be trained to beat.
E ranks could destroy a small village.
D ranks could destroy a city.
C ranks could destroy a small country alone.
B ranks are monsters that put big countries on the move.
A ranks are the last an individual can overcome. They require the mobilization of a whole country.
S ranks are ones countries have to come together to take down.
SS ranks are monsters humanity can’t deal with, monsters of legend.
That’s how they’re divided.
I figured D ranks were pretty weak, but they’re actually strong.
Most monsters in this world are E rank, and D ranks are seen as being on the strong side.
Well, each rank has a wide range too. There’s also levels to consider.
This sort of thing is just for reference, but at the very least, D rank monsters aren’t categorized as weak. I might be among the strongest in the Kingdom of Minowa right now.
But that’s just how sad their military power is. Kanna is probably the extent of their real force.
And I might be the second strongest.
Also, I’ve become relatively big. Unlike before, I have some presence too.
But Reve wasn’t too surprised.
‘Wah! You got bigger! Fufu, you’re still cute.’
That was pretty much it. Reve tends to just go along with things.
“Kyuu.”
But that’s fine. She still pampers me.
That’s all fine and good… What’s important is that I’m rank D.
I’ve become strong. I didn’t just evolve.
I gained one level after exterminating the giant pontiki in that area, and two more after mopping up the monsters in the plain near the capital with Kanna. That means I’m level four.
My stats are all in the double digits, and my Run Away changed into Rapid Movement.
I think it’s time.
“(Rapid Movement.)”
I activate my Rapid Movement high skill, and dash from the capital quickly.
I’m heading to the village with the monster plague problem.
This is the problem that’s troubling Reve, that I wanted to tackle first but couldn’t because I was too weak.
It’s still unsolved, so now that I’m strong, I should settle it.
It’s time.
“Kyuu!”
I snuck a peek at Reve’s documents, so I remember where the village is.
I can move about as fast as a moped now, so I can get to that village. The Kingdom of Minowa isn’t big at all.
“Kyuu.”
After moving for about an hour, I see the village.
This place is suffering from food shortages, because monsters come practically every day and take their food. It’s a big problem, but they managed to stay alive because the monsters don’t show much interest in people.
Fufun. And suffice to say… I brought food…
“Kyuu!?”
I can see the village. That sense of relief makes me loosen up a bit, and I feel a big impact on my flank that makes me roll on the ground.
“Kyuu.”
Ouch… What was thaaaat!?
Oh no! That attack sent all the food I brought flying!
“Kyuu!”
I-I won’t allow it! The food entrusted to me by Reve…!!!
It was a monster that struck me, so I turn to where I feel its presence, and mercilessly rain magic down on it.
