Final Trial of Mankind

The fairy girl looked at the morning glow falling from the window, and narrowed her blue eyes. The blonde girl with golden hair and golden eyes who went to the atrium for morning exercises early in the morning was also fascinated by the clear air and breeze. After a long time, she Start practicing empty swings.

People who slept late also walked out of the room one after another, and ate the long-lost bread, hot soup, eggs and barbecue for breakfast.Sunshine and blue sky, fresh food on the table, these common ground blessings all healed their dry bodies.

Thanks to the triumphant adventurers, the hustle and bustle of the past was instantly restored in the guild hall.

"Okay, I'm almost done with what I have to do now... In short, let's update the 'ability value' first!"

On the second day after the "expedition" ended, the clubhouse was very lively. Following Loki's declaration, the team members began to update their "ability values".

Since last night, the team members in charge of staying behind have been sorting out supplies, equipment, and spoils of war, and the expedition team lined up in a long line from the top floor of the central tower where the shrine is located. "The Expedition" is much more difficult, so no one asked for an update at all last night.

Even Ai Si took a rest all night and didn't come to line up until today.

To update more than 30 team members is undoubtedly a labor-intensive project, but Loki is eager to try, updating the "ability value" for a large number of family members with extremely high efficiency.

Then--

"Lv.6!! I caught up with Aiz!"

"it is good!!"

Tiona and Burt cheered.

The sublimation of "ability value" - "upgrade", experienced a decisive battle in the unreached field, and they gained a lot of advanced "experience", so they were upgraded from Lv.5 to Lv.6.

Upgrading, there is no doubt that their abilities will be greatly improved, breaking the huge wall of the limit, and taking the possibility of stepping into a higher realm.

Tiona held the update report that Loki handed to her in both hands and was very excited. The werewolf Bert also howled loudly regardless of the crowd, with a grin on the corner of his mouth.

"Tione, you... it seems that you don't need to ask."

"That's right, Anse, Nervi, how about you?"

"Are we... how difficult the future is..."

Tione, who had successfully leveled up like Tiona and the others, happily answered the question. The cat Ans and the human Nervi could only shrug their shoulders and answer with wry smiles. The adventurers are still at Lv.4.

"Ais, look, look! It's Lv.6!"

"Well... congratulations, Tiona."

"Hey hey, this way I won't lose to Aisi again! Not only that, I'm going to leave you behind!"

Tiona jumped up and down in front of Ais who had completed the update and left the central tower and came to the atrium with a look of excitement on her face. Ais smiled slightly, and the innocent Amazon girl also smiled.

Bang, and hugged it as usual.

"Where is Ais? Could it be that she has reached Lv.7!?"

"Well, not yet..."

Impossible, Aisi replied in a low voice, then looked down at the paper in her hand.

ace wallenstein

Lv.6

力量：I30→84耐久：I39→89灵巧：I58→98敏捷：I57→93魔力：I45→H101

Hunter: G Abnormal Resistance: G Swordsman: H Essence Healing: I

Compared with the ability value before the "expedition"—that is, when he was attacked by the gang in black under the moonlit night with the boy and the goddess—the total increase in the proficiency value is more than 230.

The strategy of the "Dragon Pot" in the deep area, the deathmatch of the "Fallen Elves", and the battle with the "Warriors", because of these experiences, it is convincing that Lv.6 can have such a substantial increase.

Seeing that she has taken a big step towards the goal of surpassing the peak of the ultimate sword finger, Ai Si feels relieved and feels a little happy.

"Let me see, let me see!" Aisi handed the paper to the coquettish Tiona, who also sighed "Oh~", and the two looked at each other and smiled.

——At the same time, Refia who received the update later than the other members also...

"Rafia, congratulations! You can also 'upgrade'!" Behind her, who took off her shirt to reveal her smooth and beautiful back, Loki loudly announced the good news.

"... Huh?" Refiya was stunned as she pulled her clothes halfway through.

The "sacred characters" neatly arranged on her back were shining like red inscriptions in an orderly manner. She stared blankly at the smirking main god for dozens of seconds before staggering towards the main god.

"Up, up, 'upgrade', could it be that w, I—"

"That's right, you can become Lv.4~"

"Too—too good!"

Lefia left the main god and let out a cheer. She held her top with both hands to cover her chest and bounced around.

After all, I have really brushed shoulders with death countless times, and I have already made the consciousness of death countless times at that time.

Refia of Lv.3 struggled in the deep area where even the first-level adventurers Ais and the others fought hard, and finally returned alive. Since even Tiona and the others have obtained high-level "experience points" enough to upgrade ", then my "experience value" must be enough to be evaluated as "great cause".

After all, Refiya also gambled everything beyond the "adventure", which is no less than Aisi and the others.

"And many children have discovered new 'magic' and 'skills'... This 'expedition' has been quite rewarding~"

Regardless of Loki who was content with leaving the accounting issue behind, Lefia also gradually became complacent.

My heart is filled with the real sense of growth, the joy of gradually catching up with Aisi and the others, and also—against a certain rabbit—the boy’s rebellious heart.

——Great, how about it, see it!

Refia's chest slightly puffed up in her mind as she clearly recalled the stunned look of the boy whom she regarded as her old enemy in various senses——Bell Cranney.

At Lv.1, he single-handedly killed the "Minotaur" and rose to Lv.2 in one breath. Although he was afraid of that young man who grew up rapidly and quickly achieved "great achievements", now he has the confidence up.

Refia now finally feels better than herself.

【However, I can’t get carried away. Although that guy is low-level, he is very desperate, and he has a strange 'magic', so I have to work harder than him and try to widen the gap...! 】

The self-satisfied Refia quickly swelled with enthusiasm, and Loki tilted his head in disbelief as he watched the hallucination of a sea of ​​flames rising up behind her.

"Ah, by the way, Refia? Actually, I have a proposal... Can you stop upgrading first?"

"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?" Refiya, who was stunned for a moment, let out a very confused voice, and she was surprised when she heard the Lord God's proposal.

Looking at her questioning eyes, Loki first handed her the update report of "ability value".

Refia Verides

Lv.3

力量：I84→86耐久：H121→184灵巧：G207→240敏捷：G252→271魔力：B723→797

Magic: H Abnormal Resistance: I

I didn't acquire any new "skills". Compared with the last "expedition", the ability value of this time has been updated a lot, especially "durability" and "magic power".

After reading the report, Refia covered her chest with one hand and raised her head, Loki continued to explain.

"Are you optimistic? Then I will continue to explain... Refia, when you rose to Lv.3, what was the ability value of 'Magic Power'?"

"Remember... it's S."

"Right? So, I think it's a waste for you to upgrade now. After all, Refia is the same as Riveria, with so much magic power that it's a waste."

"Too, so much to waste..."

Refiya understood what she meant while sweating coldly. Loki suggested that he continue to work hard as "Lefia of Lv.3", just like that Ais, to reach the limit of "capacity value" - "device" .

"If it is a member of an ordinary faction, once they can upgrade, they will definitely flock to it. After all, upgrading is much more efficient than deducting those few ability points."

"That's right..."

"Instead of struggling with the tens or hundreds of figures and exhausting labor and time for the 'extreme', it is more convenient to upgrade directly."

However, Loki sat down on the bed as he spoke.

"But these tiny numbers are life-threatening in our faction."

When competing with opponents of the same level, what are the factors that determine victory or defeat?

Simply speaking, it is the difference in ability value, and at the same time, there is also the ability value cultivated in the previous levels, which is the potential value that will be reflected in the current level.

Of course, there are also the skills of the adventurer - "strategy", "magic" and "skills" will all have a large impact, so the pros and cons of the numerical value will not be the decisive factor of victory or defeat.

However, it has a very high priority.

Furthermore, if you want to improve your ability after leveling up, you will of course need more "experience points" because of your level.

"Fortunately, we still have Finn and the others, so you don't have to worry about accumulating experience. As long as you follow their 'expedition' like this time, you will be tempered, and you can grow wildly by then, okay?"

"Ah, ah ha ha ha..."

Ordinary factions will definitely give priority to "upgrading", because other factions are different from the "Loki Familia" who sit on a group of great seniors. Their lives are already hanging by a thread just to explore the maze, so upgrading to enhance combat power It is their top priority, and the environment they live in cannot easily obtain advanced "experience points" anytime and anywhere.

Seeing Loki with a smirk on his face, Refia returned a twitching smile.

"However, this situation will also cause some disadvantages... Refia, since you converted to our 'Family', the interval between upgrades has also become shorter, right?"

"Yes, and obviously..."

Refia's initial upgrade took three years.At that time, I was 11 years old when I was studying in the "school district".

After staying in the "school district" for another year, she joined the "Rocky Familia", and became Lv. pass.

The white rabbit who has grown significantly is indeed abnormal, but Lefia's growth rate can be considered to have improved by leaps and bounds.

This is all because of the help of Finn, the others and Aisi's strength, she can make rapid progress.

"Although talking too much will make you feel pressured, but I and the summit team all hope that Refia can become the successor of Riveria. Even if it takes labor and time, we plan to make Super Refia the ultimate O Refia."

Hearing Loki's ridicule, Refia had a delicate expression.

"Considering your Lv.2's last 'ability value', you should still be able to continue to grow. Now the 'magic power' ability evaluation is only B, which is a bit too hasty... So, I suggest at least raising it to A+."

"..."

"Of course, this is just my personal suggestion in the final analysis. The decision is still in Refia's hands. You can decide for yourself. Even if you want to upgrade immediately, I won't stop it. How do you plan?"

Seeing that Loki gave herself the right to choose, Refia fell silent for the time being.

She thought for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"I see, then I'll go first, keep fighting at the current level."

What Loki said was right, he did feel heavy pressure, he was indeed uneasy about the huge expectations around him, and even felt a little useless.

However, now I sincerely intend to meet this expectation.

As the successor of the strongest mage, this is not only to compete with that boy, but also to be a support for Aisi and the others. I must aim at this unattainable goal and work hard. After that, after experiencing countless fierce battles, the perception came about.
