Once the battle ended, everyone earned a sizable amount of EXP, and I could notice everyone\'s bodies glowing with a golden light, several times, they had leveled up quite a lot. Especially Aquarina, she finally hit max level!

My other Familiars had also done so, and it seems they accumulated enough EXP to finally unlock the ability to further evolve. Most of them were already at C Rank, so they are going to get up to B Rank, the Rank Nephilim was already on, which she had been leveling up very slowly.

However, it\'s not going to be so easy though, some of them apparently need Materials to evolve now. I have heard from my parents that once Familiars or Spirits reach a certain Rank, they stop growing stronger because they have reached their "complete potential".

Unlike most people, monsters and spirits are capped at certain levels, and they cannot advance further naturally. That changes when they make a contract with a person and connect themselves to their Souls as a Familiar.

It allows Familiars to not only learn new Abilities, Knowledge, and Powers, but also the ability to further Evolve, but not without a price to pay for that, in the form of Evolution Materials.

It\'s a whole branch on the Ritual Magic School, which involves both the manipulation of Spirits and Monsters through Familiar Creation. Usually if someone wants to become a Beast Tamer or?Spirit Mage, they need both talent and also to take a lot of classes to learn how to create Contracts.

We are the odd ones here, because we were able to naturally bond with monsters and spirits and made them our Familiars without even needing to know Contract Magic at all… Oh well, I\'ll check what they need to evolve later.

"Phew, we really did it, huh? That last attack was awesome." Zack laughed. "Well done, you guys!"

"I never thought we would get such a strong variant…" Luck sighed, stretching his arms. "It said it was some sort of Super Rare Variant, right? The EXP was really good though, I leveled up more than just once now!"

"We were gaining levels every one or two days, but this boss gave us a lot!" Mist celebrated. "We\'re getting closer to max level already! A few more weeks and we should be done!"

"Yeah!" Celica was also rather happy. "Hmmm… Oh, what are we going to do with the big fish?"

The huge carcass of the Fishman King was sitting over the ground, half-roasted already, it smelled slightly good, actually. And our stomachs were groaning in hunger too.

"We haven\'t eaten anything since breakfast, and it\'s already like four… So let\'s cook this big guy!" I said. "The stronger the monsters we eat, the more our Physique can grow too."

By cooking ingredients using Cooking Magic, it is possible for a Physique to absorb the magical powers of living beings and grow slowly, it is a method every advanced warrior uses nowadays, and the reason why a whole magic school around cooking is so important.

The empty temple where the boos was became our second home through these last two weeks, as we spent a lot of time in here almost every day, we quickly set up a bonfire, a small camp, and we started cooking.

With the help of my Familiars and Friends, we butchered the boss, extracted what was useful as materials, and left the delicious meat behind to cook, we are a lot so we\'ll probably eat it all, we\'ve got a big appetite, especially the boys and Mist.

"Hmmm, even raw the meat\'s really fresh and tashty." Mist was already snacking on the large cuts of meat I had left at the side. She could easily eat most food raw without stomach issues, her Tribe had the ability to ingest almost anything, even ores or hard things, though Mist hasn\'t tried eating anything other than food.

"Hey, Mist, come on, don\'t go snacking on the meat while it\'s not cooked yet!" I reprimanded her, gently hitting her head with a wooden spoon.

"Ouch! Heheh, sorry but I\'m hungy." She sighed. "Can I help in something?"

"Hmm, well you\'ve learned Cooking Magic pretty well lately. Alright, cut down the meat into big filets and roast them with Ignatius\' fire." I said.

"Why me?! I haven\'t fought in three days! Have I been reduced to a cooking fire now?!" Ignatius cried. "I am an almighty dragon! You promised I would grow to become the strongest!"

"Yeah, you will, but calm down a bit, will you?" I sighed. "I can\'t just bring all of you guys out all the time, my friends also have to get the spotlight without my overpowered familiars getting in the way now and then… Also you\'ve defeated the Fishman King like five times already, give it a rest, will you?"

"Urghh… Fine, but you better use premium materials for my evolution! I will not tolerate staying in this juvenile form! I want to become an adult dragon already!" He complained, as he slowly melted into a large quantity of spiritual flames, cooking the meat.

"Sure, sure~" I laughed.

Seeing how high Nephilim stats were at B Rank, when everyone hit that Rank, they\'re going to grow in strength exponentially, at most five times as strong as before… and if I use the right materials, perhaps even more.
