________________________________________________
That day, at the capitals Adventurers Guild, everyone was surprised by the arrival of a certain woman.
As I have been telling you, I want to do subjugation requests now!
But you see, you need to first take the rank promotion exam to do that!!
A member of Fairys Banquet, La Veil was present. After they dispatched for their personal goals, and asking several people and now was inside the adventurers Guild. Her goal was to play around while doing subjugation requests in the forest close to the capital.
However, the Guild Receptionist who heard about her rank was persistently stopping her from doing so. After all, La Veils current rank is only Rank F and is the lowest rank. It was a situation where she wouldnt even listen to people and thinking that what they is only a joke about her entering the battle tournament. To the adventurers around who at least witnessed her fight, they understood that she should have been at least around SS Rank or more than Vandalba.
However, if La Veil would actually do something as troublesome as a Rank Up examination, the most she could reach would be around D Rank. She didnt really want to break the rules but she needs the achievements to increase her rank.
That why Im telling you to just let me do so!! I want to subjugate monsters in the forests!!
Please, please at least see the guild master first! Im pleading you!!
And the woman that was holding on to La Veil since a while ago, was actually a beastman. It was a pretty woman with fluffy bear ears and tail, she was also a little too passionate with her job.
Marble-san. Whats with the ruckus?
Ah, Guild Master I need your help here!!
Mu, Though Im the Master here thats not my responsibility. I dont do such stupid things as giving exams. How about we settle this in some other way
The guild master was an old man, he then moves his sight to the one arguing while showing as he answered pleasantly, but then he stiffened when the person he saw arguing was La Veil.
Oooh, arent you La Veil-san? I was also there watching the tournament and have seen your matches. Iya, you sure displayed such immeasurable strength. So, whats your current Rank?
Guild Master, this person that you are referring to as a strong individual is an F Rank!!
That doesnt matter!! Today, I want to hunt Monsters in order to increase rank but she wont let me do so not unless Im D Ranked!!
But other adventurer wont be convinced with just that even if they say she was strong!!
What you are suggesting is not bad but there are a lot of people who knew about her!!
She didnt want to back out on what she insists. If it wasnt La Veil then they would indeed need a certain amount of good record to get promoted, and Marble thinks that other adventurers would look down on her if she did the rank up without any achievements on the guild, and because of that their opinions clashed.
After thinking for a bit, the Guild Master took over Marble and informed La Veil of the conditions.
Lets do it this way. Please hunt groups of Babel Spiders of around Level 50-60 today for the whole day. If you can do so, then your Rank will be raised to SS Rank. Its also easy to find and hunt them. Also, I knew that what you have been awarded was a ring shaped Item Box for second place, you dont have a problem using that right?
La Veil was thinking if theres a catch with this special subjugation that could lead to promotion. However, the surrounding adventurer reactedGuild Master, againand they were also certain that it wont bother other adventurers with that. But everyone understood just how hard that quest is, even Vandalba who they hailed as the strongest couldnt achieve such feat.
That would be fine, I guess?
La Veil asked for the confirmation of the request, and the Guild Master only replied with a grin. La Veil left the guild after verifying everything. Marble was left behind with a pale blue face, she did her best trying to settle it down and even asked for the Guild Masters help to settle it, but she didnt expect for him to offer such a quest,
Ah, right. Marble-san. Next month, you will be relocated so prepare to pack up
With that, Marbles face that was dyed blue completely turned white.
Madalcoz Forest, an area covered with trees reaching 100m tall, and is housed by many demons, not to mention, encountering them would be more frequent as you go deeper. It was a good hunting spot for adventurers, as there were many materials to be hunt for production and is directly sent to the kingdom.
Even at this time, that place was filled with adventurers, and everywhere she goes she would hear people shouting or monsters screaming.
Now~then. I was supposed to hunt Babel Spiders. Where could they be hiding?
Thinking like that, she heads straight inside the deep areas of the forest. Holding her Halberd with one hand, she smashes monsters that she encounter along the way and stored it directly into the item box. It was already reaching an unreasonable amount, if seen from an adventurers point of view.
What she encountered so far were, Big Mantis, Grave Lizard, Berserk Ant, Rock Hawk and many others. All of those beasts were not strong enough to even satisfy La Veil, her level also wont go up fighting such weak creatures, so she just sliced off their neck or crush their heads and store it into the item box.
As she goes deeper, the presence of adventurers around started to vanish, and the environment in the forest area also started to change. The foliage of trees became thicker blocking all of the sun, making the place look almost like night time.
Here and therehmm? Fire, Light up the place
When her fire magic brightened the place, they appeared.
Wha!?
They were twice as big a regular human, roaming around cobwebs wide enough to connect every tree in the area as far as the eyes can see. There were also a huge number of them dangling from the cobwebs drooling. Their figures were white as a cloud and have strong looking big jaws.
Fufu~n, I see. I finally found my Prey to devour. Theres just around hundreds of them though. Well, this would be a good exercise
In this condition La Veil didnt have room to escape, taking a stance with her Halberd, she waited for more of them to surround her. After a certain number of them surrounded her, she jumped into the flock.
Oraa
The first victim receiving her attack was split into two horizontally. The next victim was also split into two vertically. From angle and every point they got split sliced and stabbed to death one after another and La Veil stores every one of them that died in the item box.
If she let the corpses are left behind, then they would only turn into a mountain crushing materials from below it, thats why she chose to leave behind corpses as little as possible.
Hora hora!! Come little ones. Rush over here, more, more!!
La Veil was at the peak of tension. Maybe because of limiting herself in human form and only using a normal weapon, she greatly enjoyed splattering her opponent with limited means of attack and the number of opponents was starting to dwindle down in the blink of an eye. The Babel spiders despite their wild nature understood by seeing the scene and slowly tried escaping, but La Veil didnt give them time to do so.
Then, the next volley of attacks came towards La Veil.
Sqwosh
Wha!?
The next attack was stings of webs flying from the skies and hit her. The spider threads entangled La Veil limiting her movements. Looking around, she saw other spiders pointing their abdomen towards her. It seems like their aim was to cover La Veil in high amount of spider threads to completely seal her movements.
La Veil stared at the group aiming for her thenshe laughed.
Kuhahaha
The Halberd turned bright red. A high amount of temperature was released from the Halberd and because of the high heat resistant clothes, only the spider threads were melted. The Babel Spiders continued firing threads one after another, but it couldnt reach her because of the very high temperature surrounding her, and everything that was sent towards her started to melt the moment they reach the area where she stood.
When the amount of head reaches a really high temperature, the appearance of La Veil started to distortthen she disappeared.
Schink*
In a moment, 10 spiders were burned and died without knowing what happened. It was an attack almost invisible burning away multitudes of Babel Spiders in a single swing. Sever dozens more died as she continued her assault. In the stream of such attack, they continued to burn and died and couldnt even escape the indiscriminate onslaught,
In just a few minutes, the hundreds of demons that surrounded her vanished and was suck into her item box.
The remaining Babel spiders who were further away that witnessed such devastation could do nothing but flee. Thinking that if they were at a higher altitude their chance of escape would increase since she cant climb high up, but,
Oyaoya, trying to escape now arent you, little spiders?
In the blink of an eye, La Veil appeared above them. They tried their best intimidating her but it was useless. They already knew what was in store for them, and resistance was futil since none of their attack nor threads would have any effect, no other option was left for them
SorryI dont really remember how much I killed, but I cant let you all escape so it will be overHmm?
Just when she was about to finish off the remaining ones, she detected the strongest threat. Turning to where it came from, she could see a single gigantic monster mowing down trees as it approaches her.
Ahh Finally, a being the would closely match my power and physic has appeared
Turning around while showing a delighted grin, she saw a spider about 20 times the size of a Babel Spider. If Aidle was there, she would be so extremely disgusted seeing that and would definitely run away not being able to bear the sight of such a huge disgusting monster.

Inherent SkillsStrong Thread, Deadly Poison, Regeneration
SkillsSize Difference Correction (A+)
Although not understanding the queens strength, La Veil knew that it was close to her level of power. However, due to the difference in size, all her attacks were only immediately regenerated. It didnt do much even though she continued attacking continously,
Hou, what impressive regeneration, not to mention that deadly poison!!
The fluids that the Queen has been splattering around were highly toxic venom and the trees that were hit immediately rotted and fell down. Theres also no point in continuing her attacks because of the wound closing after being cut.
This is extremely dangerous for humans. And if they end up poisoned theyll die
From that point on, La Veil returned to her original form. The eye level of La Veil was now in the same point as the Queen.
If I am in this form then it wouldnt be a fight!! Disappear before my sight!!!
Fwoooosh*
In a single moment, a laser-like breath was sent to the Queens face burning her head mandibles and all. In an angle towards aiming upwards, the breath wiped out the head and continued straight into the sky.
There wasnt even a trace of what was hit by the breath, the area around the wiped out head became charcoal in an instant, and there wasnt even a trace of fire burning. La Veil then returned to her human form and stood in front of the headless corpse.
I see, so when it loses its head, it dies. The Basics of all living being applies to this one too. Now what to do with this, I guess Ill just have to bring it back with me I guess should be good enough
After storing the corpse in the item box, La Veil decided to return while hunting demons she encountered
Showing proof of defeating that should probably be good enough
Swoosh
Nn, What is it
AhLa Veil-san. You sure returned early?
Everyone turned their eyes to La Veil who returned only after two hours have passed. However, she ignored all that and went straight for the reception where he found the guild master.
I didnt how much but there were hundreds of them, and there was also a big boss included at the end. So, is there a place where I could take out all of them?
A big one is it? If thats the case then lets go to the big warehouse. You alos need to take out a lot after all
That time the Guild Master was still in doubt, but he did believe that she probably defeated sever dozens of them, and because of that they headed straight for the big warehouse. There will probably be a lot of other monsters included.
Behind them, the free adventurers also followed out of curiosity. Everyone was eager to know what outcome would be shown by the woman who claimed one of the top positions in the tournament.
The warehouse they were headed to was a bid building behind the Guild. It was big and wide that even if La Veil entered in her dragon form, it would be big enough to store 3 of her.
Okay, so can you take one by one of them here?
Umu. Ill do so
La Veil took out Babel Spiders one by one as instructed. First reaching 10, then 20, then as it goes on the adventurers were unconsciously letting out voices in shock,
HeyHow long will this end
When the number reached over 100, all the voices turned from shock to admiration , even the Guild Master was stunned. After taking out a total of more than 400 Babel Spiders, it finally ended.
Is she really a Human?
Everyone couldnt help but doubt. How could anyone even imagine someone who can subjugate an amount like this in merely two hours.
WE, wellis, is this all of it?
Nn? Oh, I still have the big one and some others, but is it fine to disposed of it here?
After taking out everything the Guild Master was again stunned. In all his life, even during his life, he has never encountered such a gigantic creature in that forest. However, even he was curious about what that creature is, and would really like to know how much the materials harvested from it would cost.
Well, I think you will need to wait for a few days of evaluating all these materials are you fine with that?
Umu. Ill leave all the dismantling and handling of all of this in your care. After all that, well talk about money
I take care of that then that will be all for now
Seeing the Guild Master leave returning to the Guild, La Veil shifts her focus to the adventurers that were gathered. Everyones gazed was nailed at her was in awe.
Oh, Master? Is it fine if I invite everyone for a drink? Is that so, at the Inn were staying
Well go
And three days later, there were a series of great amounts adventurers visiting Agueras Inn, and for the Adventurers Guild and the Merchants, they were hit few days of economic war that made their few days at that time like feel like they were trudging in hell.
