Depraved Hero's Path: Enslaved Monster Girl Harem In The Apocalypse!-Chapter 31: Rewards!

'Well, that's no fun.' Elijah sighed internally. 'Why won't you show yourself in front of all of these people?'

He frowned as the list of his Achievements appeared in front of him.

[You have defeated 21 Goblins.]

[Achievement: You have Defeated 26 Goblins!]

[S-Rank Achievement!]

[Achievement: You have Defeated the "Goblin Chief" Boss Monster alone!]

[S-Rank Achievement!]

[...]

It was too long for him to feel like reading it.

"How are your Rewards?" Elijah asked.

"Good, I think." Katherine nodded. "S-Rank, despite the fact that you did all the work..."

"I got an S-Rank as well!" Marianne celebrated.

[The First Main Quest has concluded.]

[The Barrier around the First Main Quest Location is being brought down.]

At those words, the crowd started moving.

Achievement Points related to the bet had been deducted or added by the System according to the conditions set earlier.

It didn't take long before only Elijah, Katherine, Marianne, Léa, Zarath, and two Corrupted Harpies, sixty meters in the air, remained.

"The Barrier is gone." Marianne whispered. "That means-"

"Masteeeer~" Zarath shouted as she ran towards him, arms extended forward.

She leaped into the air to wrap her arms around him, but his hand pushing against her face kept her from getting closer.

That was all the physical contact necessary for the exchange.

[You have received 13,560 Achievement Points!]

[You currently have: 33,525 Achievement Points.]

'Pretty good.' Elijah turned towards Marianne. "People are leaving straight away, but we should take some time to look at our Rewards. There are Monsters outside, so anything we can use, we need to get acquainted with now."

"I agree." Katherine nodded.

Léa nodded.

'Am I not going to receive one word of praise?!'

"Fine." Marianne answered after a moment. "We'll leave afterwards."

"Yes, child. We'll bring you back to your daddy once we're done."

"..." Marianne wanted to retort, but felt she couldn't really do that. "Thanks."

"Should we take our Rewards out?"

Before Elijah could answer Katherine,

[Special Administrator Reward 11 is being formed.]

"Formed?"

His ear suddenly picked up noise coming from the open space where the Boss Monsters' corpses lay.

"What's happening to them?" Léa asked, taking a step back. "They're trembling."

Not only did they tremble, but the corpses, already rather close to one another, seemed to start moving.

"Ew."

"How is that called again...?" Katherine whispered with a frown. "Necromancy or something?"

Elijah didn't say a word. He watched, with wide shining eyes.

With shining eyes, Elijah watched the Boss Monsters' corpses stuck to one another, pushed against one another, their extremities melting.

"Eeeeewww!" Marianne was forced to look away.

It was a struggle for Katherine and Léa not to do the same as the corpses merged into one big horrible creature.

[Owned Slaves: 7/15.]

[Special Administrator Reward 11: Chimera Monster[D-Rank].]

"Well, why not?" Elijah chuckled as he started walking closer to his new Owned Slave.

It was standing on two feet like the Goblin Chief used to, but it was hunched over, as if prepared to launch itself forward at a moment's notice.

Its mouth bore the Black Wolf's fangs, but the shape of its jaws was that of the Swamp Crocodile.

Its shoulders, arms, thighs, and crotch were covered by thick black fur, while the rest of its body was covered by reptilian scales. A thick tail was dangling behind it, similar to the Swamp Crocodile's.

The Chimera Monster stood at about 2.8 meters tall.

Elijah stared at its Black Wolf claws before looking it up and down for a bit.

'I guess if I only have beautiful slaves, I would be called names, huh?' He chuckled internally. 'Oh, wait. The Corrupted Harpies already- No, it's perfect now. Marianne, Katherine, and Zarath. Slave A, Slave B, and this guy. Three-to-three.'

He did find it comical how the beautiful Slaves were extremely beautiful while the ugly Slaves were absolutely disgusting and horrifying.

'No middle ground.' He shrugged. "Does anyone want to give it a name?" Elijah asked as he turned away from the Chimera and towards the others.

"Chimera?" Léa shrugged.

"Gross Creature." Marianne suggested.

"Oh, come on. It's not its fault that it's ugly." Katherine muttered with crossed arms.

"Black Swamp Chief!" Marianne shouted as she pointed.

"Oh, hell no."

"How about Chief?" Katherine suggested with a chuckle.

"Yeah, I like that."

[Your Marked Slave's name has been recorded as "Chief".]

While the others started taking their Rewards out of their Inventories, Elijah stared at the list.

[Special Administrator Reward 2: "Beginner Mage's Fire Manipulation[E-Rank]".]

[Special Administrator Reward 3: "Black Magician's Staff[C-Rank]".]

[Special Administrator Reward 4: "Elite Assassin's Cloak[B-Rank]".]

[Special Administrator Reward 5: "Black Knight's Sword[B-Rank]".]

[Special Administrator Reward 6: "Mana Manipulation[B-Rank Skill]".]

[Special Administrator Reward 7: "Alucard's Necklace[A-Rank]".]

[Special Administrator Reward 8: "Eye Of Truth[A-Rank Skill]".]

[Special Administrator Reward 9: "Black Egg[A-Rank]".]

[Special Administrator Reward 10: "Demonic Blood[A-Rank Elixir]".]

'I know I did a job that had been set for 800+ people, but still...'

His eyes were particularly focused on the 10th Reward.

'You want me to drink Demonic Blood, Administrator?' Elijah's hand moved to his chin. 'Or is there some other use I'm supposed to figure out?'

He shook his head.

'I'll focus on my stuff later.'

His gaze moved towards Katherine.

"I have Items and Skills to choose, a Class Awakening Scroll, a Class Awakening Scroll Upgrade Ticket, Achievement Points, two Skills, and Achievement Points." Katherine said while counting with her fingers.

"Same, minus the Upgrade Ticket." Marianne shrugged.

'They both got an S-Rank Clear Rank because of how many Monsters they defeated. Katherine's Rewards must have been better because of the Quest she encountered after the Tutorial Quest. Not all S-Rank Clears are equal. That's what really makes the S-Rank special, and why the Administrator gives the Rewards for that Rank. I just went beyond what's usually expected from an S-Rank Clear.'

They turned towards Léa, while Elijah ordered Zarath to get closer.

"Y-Yes, Master?" Zarath gulped.

"What can you tell me about Demonic Blood?"

"Demonic Blood...?"

"Yes, is it the same kind of Blood that flows through your veins?"

"No, Master. A Demon's blood isn't the same as Demonic Blood."

"What's Demonic Blood for?"

Zarath scratched her elbow for a moment as she looked away.

"It's a horrible, horrible tool that's used..." She whispered, rubbing her hands together. "To turn other creatures into Demons."

"I see." Elijah scratched his chin.

"W-Will be a Demon like me? We could live together as-"

"I don't think so." Elijah interrupted.

"B-But... We could be a Demon couple and..." She gulped. "You know, Demons have strong urges and... We could have lots of fun and... We wouldn't need anything other than our bodies to live and survive... I would feed on your juices and fluids, while you would..." Only then did Zarath notice that Elijah had walked away, and was already discussing Skills with Katherine, Marianne, and Léa.

Her hands immediately moved to hide her blushing face.

"You should probably use the Class Awakening Scroll and Upgrade Ticket before choosing Skills or Items." Elijah suggested.

'Master is so mean!'

"Right, that makes sense." Katherine nodded.

"Since I didn't get an Upgrade Ticket, I should do as you said earlier and just wait until I get one?" Marianne asked.

"Yes." Elijah nodded. "It's probably easier to get an Upgrade Ticket than to change Classes or get a Class Upgrade Ticket or whatever."

"I see... Now that I think about it, that bitch Chloe didn't even say anything!"

"Right." Elijah scratched his head. 'No need to tell her about Keith.'

[Online Shop Option is now available!]

[Check the available Items, Skills, and more whenever you please!]

"Think I could get an Upgrade Ticked on the... Online Shop?" Marianne asked.

Elijah was already on it, his index finger quickly scrolling while his eyes studied the available Items.

"In-server Trading...?" Katherine read as she tilted her head. "Using this we can sell things as well. Hm..."

"The server might be the Location we're in." Léa muttered. "Like the First Main Quest Location is a server... Or the city, country, and continent."

"Or the world we're in." Elijah said as he waved his finger, causing three System screens to move and appear in front of Marianne.

"Oh, shit..." She cursed.

[Class Awakening Scroll Upgrade Ticket: 5000 Achievement Points.]

[Class Change Scroll: 2500 Achievement Points.]

[Class Upgrade Scroll: 15,000 Achievement Points.]

"Switching Classes doesn't cost much, but that's because you're switching to another random Class."

"Ugh..." Marianne sighed. "15,000 Achievement Points. I have about 10% of that."

"How about I lend you the money then?" Elijah suggested.

"Can't you just give it to me?!"

"Huh? I've already given you 90 for the Local Shop."

"Fine, thanks for lending it to me." Marianne said and extended a hand in his direction.

"Before that, let's think about the vig." Elijah nodded.

"The vig?"

"Yeah, the interest-"

"I know what vig means! How dare you charge interest on a minor!"

"You said that in only two weeks you'll be-"

"How dare you!" Marianne turned towards the one person who seemed capable of helping her now. "Katheriiiine!"
