"Sylphy! If I wasn't for your equipment I wouldn't have been able to do it though! Thanks a lot!" Luck said. "Here, please take it all back. I can't afford to lose more money using it. After all you said I had to pay for every minute…"

"Yep. Well done, and thanks for your preference." I smiled slightly greedily, taking the equipment and storing it inside the inventory. "You spent 46 minutes with the equipment, so that'll be 460.000 Gold."

"C-Can I pay you in quotes?" He sighed.

"Sure! No interests for my friend." I smiled.

"Thank you…" He seemed slightly relieved.

"Are you sure you're a friend, Sylphy? Asking him so much money for using your equipment…" Celica sighed. "Aren't you too greedy for a rich girl? You've got plenty of money already."

"Hey Celeste, don't get involved on this. We already decided I would pay! And I feel indebted enough that I won't be able to sleep well if I don't know I'll pay her for all the help she gave to me." Luck said reluctantly. "So please don't get in the way. This is what I want too."

"You heard him." I smiled, crossing my arms. "What? Are you jealous you can't make as much money? You've been slacking too much on your alchemy lately. The Witch of the Blue Mountains is going to smack you for having grown so rusty."

"T-That's not the point…! Don't change the topic!" Celeste was caught off guard, blushing in embarrassment.

"Anyways, how was the EXP?" I wondered, checking the System Windows pop up after hearing the Phoenix fall into the dunes one last time. Looks like they managed to slay it. Well done, my parents! And thanks for the easy shared EXP.

Ding!

[All these Familiars can now undergo Evolution.]

"Wow, everyone leveled quite a lot! Dammit, I wish I could level up too…" I cried internally. "Well! It still nice you guys are growing super strong! Well done, Luck. You can also Rank Up now."

"I know! I knew this power was also due to that…" Luck said, he was really happy. "Can we do it now, Sylphy?"

"Hmm, I don't know." I said. "Our parents are just coming here. Let's wait until tonight, alright?"

"Well, sure, I can wait." Luck nodded. "But the rest of the familiars are max level too, right?"

"Yep, tonight it is." I nodded. There was nothing changing my mind. "I would rather wait until everything has calmed down instead of doing it in front of everyone… Every day I am questioned about my abilities by my parents, it is really exhausting."

"Hahah, my bad, I get it." Luck giggled.

Everyone else seemed excited their Familiars reached max level. This also meant they would grow stronger as a result of their bond together. And even before evolving, the Familiars after leveling twenty times in a row, looked at least twice as strong. Each one emanating a powerful Aura of Mana and their respective element.

"Kyuuh, chuu!" Snowflake was overflowing with an aura of light.

"Uwaah! S-Snowflake, you're too bright, my eyes…" Mist cried, covering her face.

"Whoosh!" Cumulus made the sound of winds and gusts, flying over Zack.

"Hahaha! You sure are happy about it!" Zack laughed with his single spirit.

"Chuu, chuu!" Onyx, Celeste's bat-shaped spirit, was biting her head.

"Ouch, stop it! Why are you the weird one out of the four?!" Celeste complained.

Meanwhile, Mister Teddy made no sounds as a golem, but was flexing his huge arms made of incredibly hard fabric. Celica clapping her hands.

"You're all strong now, Mister Teddy! Well done! Hahaha!" She was almost euphoric about her golem reaching level twenty.

As I finished storing the firebird corpses below the scorching sun, I noticed the giant golem carrying the slimes approach with Pyuku. He had been mostly protecting them while firing his powerful water and slime bullets from a distance, leaving huge dents on the bids feather armor which we abused to slay them more easily.

"How's everyone? Is it safe?" He wondered. Looking everywhere, he quickly nodded. "Looks like it's safe!"

"Yeah, the monsters are gone for now." I nodded. "And the pyramid should be safe to enter I assume… Ah, our parents are coming. They're bringing that whole Phoenix with them, yikes."

"T-They sure are your parents." Pyuku muttered.

"Hahah…"

And as I was thinking about how the meat of these creatures would taste, a Quest Window popped up. I do remember something showed up when the birds appeared, but I had little time to even look at it.

Ding!

[You completed the Special [Challenge Quest]: [Defeat All The Firebirds and their Phoenix Queen, and Free the Pyramid of their Tyranny!]

[Wonderful job! Thanks to your party's efforts and your great strength, you've managed to defeat almost forty Tier 8 Monsters, and your party even managed to slay such a powerful monster as a Tier 10 Phoenix! This is no little feat. Even if you didn't help much in that at all, because those that slay it are included in your party, you are credited with some of the kill's EXP.]

[Now that the nest and the monsters are finally dealt with. I wonder what dwells inside of that pyramid… You better go take a look! You might find a rather slimy surprise inside. But hurry! We don't want the same thing that happened to the other slimes happen to these, right?]

[You acquired the following Completion Rewards: [20.000.000 EXP] [Alchemical Forgemaster Medallion Fragment 2/3 (A+ Grade)] x1 [Divine Skill Proficiency Potion (A Grade)] x20 [Fire Dragon Flower (A Grade)] x5 [Holy Dragon Flower (A Grade)] x5 [Dark Dragon Flower (A Grade)] x5]

Wow, the rewards were… significant, this time.
