After Erika gifted me a level, we quickly reached the first floor. Surrounded by Goblins from all sides, things were looking rather awry.
…Or so any normal student would think, but we\'ve fought worse things through our young lives. Goblins were a new foe we have not fought before, but they were not at all something hard.
"Come on! Why are you guys such pushovers?"
Everyone was unleashing their Skills without even giving me some time to analyze the situation properly. Erika fought several goblins at once, using mostly her enormous blade and her dolls to fight.
CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
"Gryyaruuhh!"
"Gryagah?!"
"Gryyyhhhhh!"
The Goblins began groaning in fear before her might, but she wasn\'t the only one here devastating them all.
"[Fire Whip]!"
Chris flames shaped into whips, wrapping themselves around the goblins and burning a small group alive the moment he arrived here. His two spirits dancing and spreading the flames with him. The Fire Fox and the Fire Salamander were similar spirits, wherever they walked into, flames erupted from the ground.
FLUOOOSSH!
"Alberta! Stay behind me, the Treant will protect you! [Wood Spears]! [Bark Shield]!"
Eric conjured a powerful shield made of the bark of one of his spirits, as wooden spears emerged from the ground, piercing the nearby goblins while vines trapped some goblins, making them easier to shot down with his magic arrows. Meanwhile his large Treant worked as his shield while he shoot down goblins from afar using magic arrows. All while protecting Alberta so she could get some EXP.
CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAASH!
"S-So much blood! Unnggh… [Fireball]!"
Alberta timidly unleashed a barrage of fireballs from her hands, hitting the Goblins trying to get to her as they noticed she was weaker and being protected. Her fireballs were not strong enough to kill them though, but they sure hurt each time they burned their skin, making them keep their distance while I sliced their heads off.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Gluttony was overflowing with a black and red aura, seemingly happy there were so many souls and blood to devour and drink. The spear continued overflowing with its powers, almost guiding me to the vital points of the monsters.
Against these weaker beings, I didn\'t really need to use any techniques or skills, merely swinging this powerful spear and piercing their bodies did the job most of the time, especially when the weapon had such amazing abilities.

[Accursed Abyssal Devourer Spear: Gluttony (Mythic-Grade): Lv1]
[Effects]
[Weapon Attack]: [+4500]
[Health Points]: [+500]
[Mana Points]: [+500]
[Strength]: [+1500]
[Agility]: [+500]
[Vitality]: [+250]
[Intelligence]: [+250]
[Dexterity]: [+250]
[Abilities]:
[Gluttonous Demonic Predation]: Can grow stronger by predating in Blood, Spirit Orbs, Demonic Cores, and more. It can grow faster if it consumes the blood of Demons. By infusing Mana and Ki, this weapon can directly bite and devour through foe\'s wounds, enhancing damage dealt by +30% and ignoring -10% of foe\'s defenses.
[Abyssal Wounds]: Inflicted wounds with this spear might not heal as fast, and rotting would begin faster. Causes the [Abyssal Wounds] Status effect where foe\'s HP Regeneration speed is reduced by half and their stats are reduced by -10%.
[The Devourer\'s Domain]: Generates a Domain of ten meters around the user where there\'s a 20% chance for any foe within the domain every 10 seconds to receive a powerful bite attack that deals 50% of total damage from normal attacks. Whenever this Spear Devours ten or more foes, it is possible to summon [The Devourer: Gluttony] to battle for 5 minutes. Cooldown: 5 Hours.
[Description]:
A Cursed Weapon that has evolved over time. It is never satiated from its hunger and has evolved into a powerful, abyssal form with even more strength and monstrosity than before. It is now even capable of summoning an abomination from another plane of existence for five minutes whenever the sacrifice of five foes has been made, which will rampage around and devour anything on its path before disappearing. A truly frightening spear that, if not feed regularly, might begin eating its own wielder.
-----
After all, the weapon had three powerful Abilities, the second one, [Abyssal Wounds] worked passively and each time it inflicted a wound against a foe\'s flesh, that foe would be inflicted with a curse that would lower their HP regeneration speed and weaken their stats constantly. That coupled with the [Weapon Attack] of 4500 made for a formidable weapon. F or E Rank Monsters merely didn\'t stood a chance anymore.
Without realizing the first floor was completely cleansed of any goblins, and even the Hobgoblins, who were supposedly stronger foes were now in the floor, cut to pieces.
Ding!
Each time level ups happened, the Grimoire would let out a dinging sound nobody but me could hear.
[You And Your Party have slain [Goblin Scout (F Rank)] x17!]

[You earned 544000 EXP!]
[Level Up!]
[Your Level has increased from Level 15 to Level 16!]
[All your Stats have increased.]

Another Level Up, good. Everyone seemed to have also gotten between one or two Levels as well, they still had an initial advantage in terms of leveling up due not being cursed.
"Oooh! I\'ve… grown stronger. Is this the Blessing of the Holy Spirits? M-My magic power… even my muscles feel stronger…" Alberta said in amusement.
"Yeah, this is what we call leveling up." Eric said. "It is when we earn enough Experience Points by slaying a monster. Blake figured out how it works. Each time we defeat monsters, we get this power, after this power reaches a certain numerical requirement… We Level up!"
