Kapitel 13: Almighty

The enhancement of his power seemed to make Riegel unlikely to engage in intense battles with monsters like yesterday, leaving him excited.

Riegel continued to move forward, descending floor by floor, battling monsters. Whether it was kobolds or goblins, famous among the hordes, no matter how many gathered or what kind of attacks they launched, he effortlessly dispatched them.

No monster could react to his actions.

No monster could withstand his attacks.

Riegel only needed to strike and swing his sword, easily breaking through the monster siege and completely defeating his opponents.

This gradually made him feel a bit unsatisfied.

"It's just that my basic abilities have increased by one or two stages. Aren't the monsters on the first few levels enough?"

Riegel ignored the scattered monsters around and furrowed his brow deeply.

Currently, he had descended to the 4th floor and reached the entrance to the 5th floor.

"It seems I have to keep descending."

Looking at the entrance resembling a cave to the 5th floor, his eyes blinked.

According to the book's notes and summaries from the guild and Familia experiences, it is generally believed that adventurers of my level can explore floors 5 to 7.

Floors conquerable by Level 1 adventurers are between floors 1 and 12.

Starting from floor 13, Level 2 classified monsters appear, and the dungeon environment and monster production efficiency undergo significant changes.

Therefore, floors starting from floor 13 are considered forbidden areas for Level 1 and are deemed unconquerable at level 1.

As for the floors between 1 and 12, the guild and Familia have roughly formulated difficulty levels.

For instance, floors 1 to 4 are areas conquerable by adventurers with basic abilities between I and H.

Floors 5 to 7 are areas conquerable by adventurers with basic abilities between G and F.

Floors 8 to 10 from E to C, and floors 11 to 12 from B to S.

According to the above standards, as long as one of an adventurer's basic abilities meets the requirements, based on the stage of their basic abilities, they can roughly determine where they can safely conquer floors.

"My Agility and Dexterity have reached stage G. According to the standards, it should be relatively safe to venture onto floor 5."

Unlike last night, even though he had reached the 5th floor, it was still full of danger.

Riegel had been fighting here for a day and night the last time, experiencing some fatal crises on the 5th floor, and most of his injuries occurred on this floor.

If it were him now, he should be able to safely conquer this floor.

But—

"Safe strategy?"

Riegel muttered and made a decision.

"Let's go deeper into the floors."

True.

He didn't need a safe strategy.

If he wanted safety, Riegel wouldn't rush into the dungeon after receiving assistance without wearing any armor, holding a decorative dagger with no real purpose.

Back then, Riegel couldn't even reach stage G or H. His skill in all abilities was zero, and his physical fitness was no different from an ordinary person.

In such a condition, he dared to rush into the dungeon and even reach the 5th floor in one breath. Now that he's matured, how could he be content with running the so-called safe strategy on the same floor?

Of course, it would be dangerous.

But so what?

"Death is not bad."

Something terrifying awaits death.

At least, that's what Riegel believes.

If he's fated to die, he'd rather pursue freedom on his chosen path until he dies of exhaustion than wait for someone else to kill him, as happened in the real world.

So, he has to run.

Run towards higher places.

Run towards bigger challenges.

"Let's go."

Riegel rushed towards the entrance to the 5th floor without hesitation.

...

That night.

When it was pitch dark, Riegel finally left the dungeon and returned to the Twilight Mansion.

This time, he finally restrained himself and didn't stay in the dungeon day and night.

After dark, he had to return to Orario and the base camp. This was also an order given to him by Loki.

Considering this, although he was a bit reluctant, Riegel still followed Loki's instructions and left the dungeon after dark.

Back at the Twilight Mansion, Riegel cleaned himself up and put on clean clothes before heading to Loki's room again.

The goal, of course, was to update his ability scores.

Perhaps because Riegel had a good obedient relationship, Loki, who was drinking in the room with the smell of alcohol filling the air, seemed very pleased and readily agreed.

As a result, Loki assessed smoothly.

...

[Riegel Brehaut]

[Lv.1]

[Power: H184 → F385]

[Endurance: H177 → F380]

[Agility: G202 → E431]

[Dexterity: G215 → E449]

[Magic Power: I0]

...

Seeing the growth of ability scores engraved on Riegel's back after the update, Loki's mouth corner moved repeatedly.

"Skills in all abilities have increased by a total of more than 800...?" Isn't this greater than yesterday's growth?

Loki felt her head spinning.

What's happening?

The growth of ability scores should slow down the further you go.

But not only did this kid not slow down, he even became faster!

The last time he fought in the dungeon all day and night, his skills in all abilities only increased by a total of over 700 points. This time it's just one day, with much time wasted registering adventurers, qualifications, buying weapons and armor, but the growth rate not only didn't slow down but became faster?

Is there any justice?

"You..."

Loki really wanted to ask what Riegel did after entering the dungeon.

But after careful thought, she gave up again.

Her intuition told her that if this issue were investigated, she might get very angry.

This kid must have done something dangerous again.

That's true.

If Loki knew that Riegel not only descended to the 5th floor today but also to the 7th floor, she would be very angry.

To be able to sleep soundly tonight, Loki, very rationally, chose to change the topic of conversation.

"With your growth speed, I'm afraid it won't be long before you can compete with some veterans who have been struggling at Level 1 for several years."

Loki's tone was slightly melancholic.

Could he complete a journey in two days that ordinary adventurers might not be able to accomplish in several years?

Truly, just one word: outrageous.

"Maybe you'll break the record for the fastest reaching Level 2 and become the new record holder."

Loki's evaluation was very high.

"I hope so."

As Riegel put on his clothes, he looked at the ability scores translated from the rub, unsure of what he was thinking.

"Why do you look so worried?" When Loki saw him, she said bluntly and emotionlessly: "Don't tell me you're not satisfied with your growth rate. If you dare to act like this, I'll start beating people."

"...You, a god, really say words like Versailles, I'm surprised, okay?" Riegel looked helpless, then said to Loki: "I'm thinking about Magic Power."

Loki understood Riegel's concern.

"Are you worried that your Magic Power isn't developing at all?" Loki revealed Riegel's thoughts.

"Yes." Riegel nodded and said, "Other abilities have improved, but Magic Power remains the same, which always feels futile."

"I understand." Loki agreed with Riegel's idea and said, "With your inhuman growth rate, it would be a waste if you don't take the opportunity to enhance your Magic Power."

The basic ability of Magic Power is different from other basic abilities.

The remaining basic abilities, such as Power, Endurance, Agility, and Dexterity, all determine physical fitness and close combat abilities. Only Magic Power is a different system.

Magic determines Magic Power and the strength of its impact.

As for this item, for mages who rely on magic to win, are not skilled in close combat, and fully rely on magic to suppress enemies, its importance is not comparable to the other four basic abilities.

It can be said that although Mages do not train the four basic abilities but only focus on Magic Power, as long as the wielder can have magic, they can still unleash extraordinary abilities. With conventional combat strength, they may even have a higher status than close combat types.

In any case, magic is a symbol of sanctity equated with miracles, an extraordinary power that, regardless of status or strength, cannot be compared to close combat.

In this way, no matter who you are, if you have the opportunity, you definitely want to practice Magic Power.

Riegel is the same.

"I couldn't use magic in the real world. Now I have a new possibility and a chance to use magic again. If I still can't find a way to access it, that's my problem."

Riegel thought to himself.

The problem is.

"Son, your magic seems like something you can't use casually, right?"

Loki asked that question.

"True."

Riegel sighed and contemplated his magic.

...

{Almighty}

*Memory Magic.

*Activate specific magic based on memory.

*Determine magic power based on Magic Power.

*Applicable only to confirmed magic.

...

This is the only magic Riegel possesses, also a magic with very high potential, strong versatility, and highly abnormal effects.

"Looking at the effects of your magic, you should be able to use this magic to activate all the magic you've memorized to achieve the goal of using all magic."

Speaking of this magic, Loki increasingly regarded Riegel as if she were looking at a monster.

This magic is something truly outrageous.
