Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start-Chapter 876: Hunting Monsters As A Family

-----

These Grasslands had many names, people often called them the "Green Sea" others the "Great Grasslands" and a few only "Green Plains". It was an extensive, almost desertic place where only grass grew on.

There was nothing else in here than grass for hundreds of kilometers, of course, that is in terms of plants. In the last years, as the monsters were driven away from the forest, they had moved to the grasslands.

And because the place was full of easy prey such as Horned Rabbits and the Grasslands Horses, the monsters that were forced to move out due to the Spiritual Barriers from Erika's trees have prospered in here and multiplied.

Eventually, when monsters prosper and multiply, mutations occur and they can begin growing stronger over time, evolving into stronger forms with each passing year. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

And because of a certain plant-type monster that multiplied and prospered the most here, the grasslands have given a drastic change, there were now many gardens of enormous, oversized flowers and grass plants, which made the usual peaceful grasslands look much more menacing and mysterious.

Because of these changes, the Adventurer Guild had to completely analyze the difficulty of this area and catalogued it as a Rank D to Rank C Haunt.

Haunts are open areas filled with monsters similar to dungeons, not all of them form through Miasma, this area formed through the growth of many monsters interfering with the ecology and terraforming this place into something completely new.

I haven't visited this place myself at all though, so all of this would be some new adventures for me. The entire area is now named "Elios Garden" and due to the oversized flowers and plants, each one the size of over thirty meters tall, this isn't a place any newbie adventurers come to visit.

"Wow, the flowers and the grass are so big!" Allan said.

"Big brother, what's this place?!" Anna asked adorably.

"This is Elios' Garden. It used to be a peaceful grassland but due to plant-type monsters changing the landscape a lot, it has become a D to C Rank Haunt." I explained. "A perfect place for us to grind Experience Points for all of you."

"B-But we're like only comparable to F Rank or something!" Allan cried. "C-Can we do anything?!"

"Come on Allan don't be so cowardly! Big brother has faith in us!" Anna said.

Although they seemed cute thinking I would make them fight, they were far from the truth. Although I faced many challenges at their age, I didn't want them to suffer too much.

So I'll simply carry them in my "bus" until they get strong enough. Quite literally, we'll just kill monsters for them until they level up enough to fight themselves.

"Nah~ Your big brother and your sisters-in-law are going to carry you!" Erika giggled.

"Carry us? Like in your arms?" Allan asked innocently.

"That's not it, dear." Elizabeth smiled, patting Allan's head. "We'll carry you in terms of leveling. We'll weaken monsters and you'll only need to strike the final blow with your pets."

"Leave it to your big sisters-in-law!" Eleanora said proudly.

The twins were naturally excited to be given such an opportunity, and all three of them were already calling themselves their sisters-in-law…

Well, I suppose they weren't wrong in that.

"Uwaaah! Really?!" Allan asked.

"We're so lucky to have such cool big sisters!" Anna said happily. "Did you hear, Paprika?! You're leveling in a flash!"

"Grooar!" The little flame salamander roared.

"But our pets can't level up though, right?" Allan wondered.

"They can absorb the Spirit Orbs of foes they can defeat." I explained. "There are many F Rank Monsters in here too. So we'll get them easily- Oh, talking about that."

As we made our way into the first "forest" of giant flowers and grass, we were quickly greeted by a dozen of creatures charging at us, which had detected us from afar.

They were Gray-colored rats the size of cats, with big colorful flowers popping out of their heads. These wee Gardener Rats, protectors of the Elios Gardens.

"Gardener Rats, F+ Rank, easy enough." I nodded, waving my hand. "{Shadow Blood Threads}"

FLAAASH!

Threads of shadows and blood surged from my hands, quickly catching the dozens of rats in a split of a second from even moving.

At this point, when I've been able to slay a S- Rank Monster, F+ Rank Monsters are absolutely nothing to worry about.

I still remember when I struggled fighting monsters of this Level when I was younger…

"Crieek! Keekk!"

The rats complained angrily but couldn't move an inch. If I pressed the threads only slightly, they would immediately be sliced into pieces.

"W-Woah, that was quick…" Said Allan.

"Big brother is awesome!" Anna said, cheering for me like a little cheerleader.

"Alright, here." I said, giving the two the custom knives I've crafted.

They were made using the bones of strong monsters, draconic crystals, mithril, and spirit orb dust, they were amazingly strong and easy to wield, without any restrictions.

"Wow, weapons?" Anna asked.

"What are these, big bro?" Allan asked.

"You've hunted with dad before, right?" I asked. "These are special Butcher Knives, I called them Draconic Spirit Knives, they're easy to wield and strong, and have defense piercing capabilities. They're B Rank too, not bad at all for something I had made hastily."

"Oh… S-So we have to stab them?" Asked little Allan.

"Allan, don't be a coward!" Said Anna. "Let's do this!"

As they were about to, Eleanora stopped me.

"Wait a bit… I know we want to carry them, but this seems quite easy even for them. How about we free one rat at a time and make them fight it?" Eleanora asked. "We can heal them from any damage they take later, and like this, they can polish their fighting skills."

"Right…" I nodded. "Are you fine with that?"

The twins looked at one another, Allan was slightly afraid, but his turtle would protect him.

The two nodded after thinking a bit.

"Alright then…"

"Krieek!"

I freed a rat, which quickly came rushing towards us…
