“So, they had a name swap?”
“Yeah, so Rose is alive, but Heather isn’t.”
Amy and Amanda were discussing the events that happened, but I was more worried about Rose, she had a total mental breakdown.
“Celios, how is Rose holding up?”
“Nala says that she should wake up by the end of the week.”
“Thank goodness… will she be okay?”
“I don’t know. Whatever that form was, it broke her body. Even though she will wake up, she still won’t be able to move for another while.”
“Broke her body?”
“I understand that it’s a type of mutation, but there are severe burns in her eye sockets, as well as her mouth. Not to mention her arms are barely remaining on her body. Her legs are in shambles too. Frankly, if she wasn’t a deity, she’d be long gone by now.”
“I understand. What of her mind?”
“That’s something I was worried about as well, but as it sits, I can’t tell what her mental state is until she wakes up.”
“I see, well I hope she’s alright.”
“Still, I can’t believe that Damien was the mole…”
“Yeah, and not only that, but he’s also a deity.”
“That is certainly concerning, but now we know of 3 out of 5 deities that joined the God Slayers, and the mole can’t enter this world.”
“Still, I hope Rose is okay.”
“Captain, you should be more worried about yourself.”
“What do you mean, Darsen?”
“We all saw the gouges, frankly most of us thought you’d keel over right after Rose.”
“Was it that bad?”
“Yep, you looked nearly dead.”
“I didn’t even notice.”
“Adrenaline is an odd thing. Still, that was terrifying.”
“Rose… doing that?”
“Yeah, we all saw her struggle as well, but she still lost it. A lot of people trust her less. Especially since now…”
“She holds the full power of Kala?”
“Yeah, I mean, before the two would hold each other back, but now… she could pretty much do whatever now.”
“I don’t think she would.”
“Neither do most of us, but there are still a lot of dissenters. The same people also say that you shouldn’t be ruler.”
“I did plan on giving the faction back to Rose.”
“Not sure that’d be smart, laddie.”
“Mammon?”
“While we all trust Rose, just think about it. They currently don’t trust you, and after that fiasco, they certainly don’t trust Rose.”
“Fiasco? She saved all of our lives!!!”

“They don’t care. They wouldn’t care if she killed Gethel with that move. She did something they thought was scary and now they lost trust.”
“What’s your point?”
“Keep ownership of the faction for now, at least officially, but have Rose as the one in charge.”
“So, I can satisfy the dissenters while keeping Rose in charge.”
“Bingo.”
“I still think it’s stupid that they don’t trust Rose because of her losing herself to an ability that even Luma can’t understand.”
“I’m going to have to agree with you Erica but disagree at the same time.”
They all looked at me.
“You are right, Rose can not be blamed for losing herself to such a skill, but keep in mind that she still has said skill. Remember what Regala said, the usage of Savage Beast caused Luma’s first ever error. FEAR is an evolution fusion of Savage Beast and Devour. Two highly unstable skills merged, and their first impression of it is her trying to eat Amy, one of her closest friends. I can understand why they’d be unsettled.”
They sighed and muttered reluctant agreement.
“So, what should we do?”
“The same thing as Mammon suggested. And once the trust in her returns, then I will reinstate her as faction head.”
“Speaking of, we have Mark and the other 3, so are we a minor faction now?”
“Let me ask Luma.”
[Let me try… ERROR: The system cannot process request. Administrator Override is required to proceed…]
“What does that mean?”
[It means, that you guys aren’t a faction, and I assume that you need Rose to become a higher being to become one.]
“Well crap.”
“What is it?”
“Apparently we need Rose to become a higher being before we can become a faction.”
“Why, I thought the requirement was having a higher being?”
“Usually, but we need to use something called Administrator Override, and Luma thinks that Rose will be able to use it when she becomes a higher being.”
“What level even is she?”
“Luma?”
[The individual, Rose Hood, has reached level 199, upon completing the requirements she can evolve into a higher being.]
“Well, that’s convenient, what are the requirements?”
[It’s different per person, let me che-… holy ****.]
“That’s not a good reaction.”
[It’s just… ridiculous. This is the kind of things that you shouldn’t have to do until you’re aiming for the upper class.]
“Hmm?”
[Every 200 levels you need to pass a new set of requirements. I’ve seen potential 600s with easier requirements than this.]
“Show me.”
[Okay.]
Then the ridiculous tasks showed up in front of me.
------------------------
For the individual Rose Hood to evolve into a higher being (LOWER CLASS) she must gain the sponsorship of a non-subordinate higher being and complete the following requirements.
Kill 10000 higher beings (COMPLETE)
Kill 1000 level 400+ (954/1000)
Kill 5 level 500+ (0/5)
Kill 1 level 600+ (0/1)
Kill 1 level 700+ (0/1)
Gain the Title- Conqueror (Incomplete)
Kill an evolved deity by using his string of life (0/1)
Kill an Angel (0/1)
Kill a Demon (0/1)
Kill a Dragon (COMPLETE)
Kill a Whilder (COMPLETE)
Gain the blessing of the Supreme Faction (COMPLETE)
---------------------------
“HOW IS SHE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?!!”
[I don’t know. Looking at it, this would be the requirement for 800, not 200.]
“What’s wrong, Dallel?”
“Rose is able to evolve to a higher being.”
Mark was confused.
“What’s wrong with that?”
“Her requirements are comparable to the requirements to become an 800.”
“Please, it can’t be that bad. What’s her most difficult task?”
“Kill a level 700.”
“…”
“…”
“… Well, ****.”
“Indeed.”
“HOW IS SHE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?!!”
“I don’t know, neither does Luma.”
“Ay yai yai. This means that we are going to need to take on a middle-class faction at least.”
“Okay?”
“God Slayers is a lower class.”
“Great…”
“Precisely.”
“Goodness gracious, she is Yu Il*an.”
“What?”
“In the story that that character is in, he always had to do absolute ridiculous tasks to get to the next class.”
“Did he have to do that?”
“No, this is a bit more ridiculous.”
Then Amanda chirped up.
“If she summons the Cradle of M*racles, I’m calling dibs on becoming a dragon first.”
Thalia looked confused.
“What?”
“In the story, the main character could turn people into dragons to join his higher existence faction.”
“… That’s weird.”
“Yeah, it kind of is, now that I actually know a dragon.”
“Though another two requirements concern me.”
They all turned to me in confusion.
“She needs to kill both an Angel and a Demon.”
Mark sighed very loudly.
“Great, so we need to **** off the Supreme Faction and a higher-level faction.”
“Is there a way to get an angel that isn’t in the supreme faction?”
“That’s what the demons are.”
“Oh… That could be a problem.”
“Hm… ask Luma if a fallen angel would work.”
“What’s the difference?”
“Fallen angels are in the middle of their demonization, but they are still angels.”
“Luma?”
[It should work.]
“Good, so now all we need to do is kill a fallen angel and a demon without angering people that could wipe us out before we take a second breath.”
[And Rose has to complete it all alone.]
“You can’t be serious.”
[It has to be a solo kill.]
“UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH.”
“What?”
“Rose has to get the kills on her own.”
“… Great…”
