บท 10: Fool’s Obsession
Loki's words prompted Riegel to raise his hands and look upwards.
His hands were still smeared with blood, dirt, and dust, and his condition looked extremely messy to the naked eye.
Yet, these hands had fought tirelessly all day and night.
[Endless]... The benefits provided by this skill seemed much greater than Riegel had imagined.
"Just by leveling up, there's a certain chance to acquire development abilities. In other words, those with development abilities should be at least Level 2." Loki glanced at Riegel from the corner of her eye and said, "That's such an ability, but you have three at once, and all of them are at the highest level. How can this not diminish your assistance?"
Whether it's [Healing Power], [Spirit Healing], or [Abnormal Resistance], since these are development abilities similar to basic abilities, even if there are no skills indicating progress, the stages of the abilities still exist.
The lowest is stage I, and the highest is stage S. The development stages are the same as basic abilities, ten in total.
The effect of [Endless] is to allow Riegel to acquire three development abilities, all of which are at the highest level.
What does that mean?
It means that all three development abilities acquired by Riegel due to the effect of his skill are at stage S.
This is a significant issue.
"I dare not say anything about other Familias, but in my Familia, none of the development abilities of the members have been upgraded to stage D. The highest level is only stage E."
Loki revealed her secret.
"But you have three development abilities equivalent to stage S from the beginning. Even if you acquire development abilities in the future, the effects of your skill can also enhance the level of those development abilities."
This shows how powerful [Endless] is.
After all, the Loki Familia is not an ordinary Familia; it is one of the strongest in Orario.
And Orario sits in an underground prison, with countless monsters to be defeated by humans and countless enemies to be challenged by humans. Being able to reach the strongest position here is equivalent to being the strongest in the world.
That's why Orario is called the center of the world.
There are many powerful figures in the Loki Familia, and many well-known names are at the top, famous worldwide.
Compared to the ancient heroes who drove monsters back to the underground prison and regained control of the world for humanity, they might not be much different.
Even among such a group of powerful people, none has upgraded their development abilities to a level above stage E. Doesn't this also show how amazing the effect of Riegel's skill is?
If it's [Healing Power] and [Spirit Healing] that were just obtained, they probably wouldn't have extraordinary effects, allowing one to fight endlessly day and night without feeling tired.
But [Healing Power] and [Spirit Healing], both at the highest level, are a different story.
"Now you've just experienced the effects of [Healing Power] and [Spirit Healing]. When you go down a few floors and encounter monsters that can inflict abnormal conditions, you'll know that your [Abnormal Resistance] effect is just as formidable."
As Loki spoke, she finally felt better.
"Having the highest [Abnormal Resistance], I estimate that unless it's poison that can even kill a god, there's no abnormality in this world that can affect you."
Because of that, Loki reluctantly thought of another skill of Riegel's – [Self Redemption].
Let's not talk about the value-enhancing skill that can annoy gods; let's talk about the other two effects, which are also abnormal.
Immunity to physical interference means that no one can do anything to Riegel's body, whether it's controlling it with mysterious power, disrupting his perception, or even doing something bad for his own good. It's worrying that it won't work.
Immunity to mental interference means that methods targeting memories and souls can be declared ineffective, even charms, confusion, and the like are no longer effective.
Both of these effects, combined with the highest level of [Abnormal Resistance], are truly incomprehensible.
At least, Loki feels that if somebody wants to defeat Riegel, who has these two skills, there are only a few other ways than relying on sheer strength in a direct challenge.
Unfortunately, these skills also have a third effect, allowing the benign effects of skills that originally couldn't accept external power interference in body and mind to work on Riegel.
It's outrageous.
But for these two skills, according to Loki, compared to Riegel's first skill, their effectiveness and importance might have to be rated lower.
Thinking about the effects of these skills and what happens when Riegel fights hard day and night, Loki's slanted eyes suddenly opened a little.
She was silent for a moment, then shifted her gaze to Riegel.
"Take off your clothes."
Loki suddenly said this.
"What?"
Riegel, who was still immersed in his own thoughts, was taken aback.
Seeing this, Loki grinned.
"I'm curious about how much you've grown after this day and night."
Loki said it word by word.
"Let's update your ability values."
Hearing this, Riegel's eyes also lit up with a strange light.
Updating ability values.
This is what everyone who receives the Blessing has been eagerly anticipating.
After experiencing many adventures, performing various actions, and accumulating experience points, during the update of ability points, these experience points will be transformed into enough nourishment for individuals to grow and become stronger.
During this process, not only basic abilities will be enhanced, but some individuals who have experienced memorable things can also awaken magic and skills, and even acquire new magic and skills, greatly enhancing their own strength.
Especially for those who have never had magic and skills, every time their ability values are updated, what they most look forward to is the appearance of magic and skills after the ability values are updated.
Compared to those people, Riegel is undoubtedly more fortunate.
Immediately after receiving the Blessing, magic appeared, and he acquired three skills at once, which is a unique Blessing.
For ordinary people, unless they are geniuses with extraordinary potential, it's normal if they don't have any magic or skills when they first receive the Blessing.
They eagerly anticipate the appearance of magic and skills and are very eager to obtain extraordinary mysteries and powers.
This can almost be said to be a process that must be undergone by most people who have received the Blessing.
Riegel is not like that, but at this moment, his expectations are certainly not far behind those people's expectations.
Because, besides magic or skills, his basic abilities have never experienced growth or improvement, whether it's physical fitness or combat effectiveness, it's still within the range of ordinary people.
In other words, he hasn't felt extraordinary strength yet.
Considering this, he also looks forward to the first update of ability values.
In such a situation, Loki faced Riegel, who took off his clothes and sat in front of her, and began to increase his abilities.
The specific steps are similar to when providing assistance to Riegel, pulling out needles, pricking the tip of the index finger, touching his back with divine blood, moving her fingers skillfully.
Loki first opened Riegel's ability values, and bright red inscriptions like bright engravings quickly appeared on his originally patternless back.
Shortly after that, Loki squeezed another drop of divine blood and dripped it onto Riegel's back, causing ripples to appear and spread across the engravings.
Starting from this step was the replacement of ability values.
The accumulated experience points extracted by the "god" hand were used as material to alter the foundation of growth.
replaced the old words and was engraved on Riegel's back.
As the process continued, at a certain point, Loki's eyes widened again.
After a long time, she displayed an expression that seemed torn between laughter and tears.
"Damn it!"
Loki suddenly cursed, surprising Riegel.
"What's wrong?"
Riegel turned and stared at Loki with a blank expression.
"...Look at yourself."
With a completely shattered expression, Loki recorded Riegel's abilities on parchment with a deadpan expression, translated it into common language, and tossed it.
Riegel took the parchment and looked at his latest abilities.
...
[Riegel Brehaut]
[Lv.1]
[Strength: I0 → H184]
[Stamina: I0 → H177]
[Dexterity: I0 → G202]
[Agility: I0 → G215]
[Magic Power: I0]
...
Magic and skills haven't been printed or translated, probably because there are no changes.
However, in terms of basic abilities, Riegel has undergone significant changes.
Strength and Stamina have surpassed stage I and entered stage H.
Dexterity and Agility have directly exceeded stage H and entered stage G.
No change in Magic Power, probably because Riegel doesn't use magic.
The end result of this day and night of hard work is that Riegel's basic ability skills have increased by more than 700 points.
"The growth rate, damn it!"
Loki cried out.
"I knew that [Fool's Obsession] is clearly the most outrageous skill!"
Loki went crazy.
As a Familia god, Loki has updated the abilities of many of her members, even facing many individuals considered geniuses.
Moreover, she is relatively knowledgeable, so she knows well how quickly newcomers who have just received assistance grow.
One day and one night, in such a short time, even geniuses in the Loki Familia could only increase their skills by a few dozen points initially.
Comprehensive ability skills increased by more than 700 points, almost 800 points...?
Loki stared at the skill on Riegel's back with a pair of god eyes.
...
*Domain significantly increases growth rate.
*Domain significantly increases growth limit.
*The deeper the obsession, the stronger the effect.
*The effect greatly increases when facing dangerous situations.
...
There is no doubt that the reason why Riegel's growth is abnormal is because of this skill.
Loki has never seen a similar effect, not used to increase strength, nor used to assist. Instead, it's a unique skill useful for growth.
"Now, the fate of Orario will change..."
