Chương 76: Status After the Monster Rex

"Lie down and stay still." Drip. The sacred text on his back rose and fell continuously, like the gears of a clock. Hestia seemed to have grown used to being shocked by Cael's values. This time, she was only a little surprised. After all, every time Cael's Status was updated, huge changes appeared.

"It is still the same as usual. As a god, I am shocked. And there is another Skill. It really feels like a true great hero has arrived." Hestia's lovely face was covered with smiles, and even her previous emotions had disappeared.

"It will not be what I expect, right?" Cael's fingers trembled slightly as he held the parchment. Were the values good? Of course. They were outrageous, perhaps unprecedented in Orario, and perhaps never to be repeated. [Status] Name: Cael Veyren Level: Lv. 1 Basic Abilities Strength:? 1523 ->? 3168 Endurance:? 1289 ->? 2536 Dexterity:? 1657 ->? 3279 Agility:? 1358 ->? 2753 Magic:? 1396 ->? 2789 Those numbers were absurd. Endurance had exceeded two thousand. Strength and Dexterity had both exceeded three thousand.

Damn, would he really have to grind for a thousand years just to level up? At this rate, would he really need 9999 to upgrade? In addition, there was an extra Skill in the Skill column. Sword Saint's Blessing - Loved by the world. - Can kill things that cannot be killed by swords. - Guides one's own sword skill to the limit. - When holding a sword, any sword weapon is guided to its maximum power.

"What did you expect?" Hestia blinked and asked in confusion.

"No, it is nothing. I am stronger now." Cael shook his head. Even if he really needed 9999 to upgrade, that would still mean he had made a huge profit. His potential had already been revealed. Even now, when all his Skills were fully unleashed, he could compare to a Lv. 4 adventurer. He could directly cross three Levels. This kind of legend could only be found in a few lines of heroic tales from a thousand years ago. At that time, the strongest heroes could only barely surpass three Levels.

Moreover, the three-Level crossing of ancient heroes was against monsters. Humans of the same Level could not instantly kill monsters of the same Level, not with the kind of suppression that could end a fight within ten exchanges. This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work. In an instant, even Rengoku and the others could barely surpass Lv. 3 adventurers. That was why Cael had said from the beginning that Rengoku truly was a human hero.

After all, he was one of the top talents in his world. Cael himself had now surpassed three Levels thanks to Sword Saint's Blessing, which directly gave him all its abilities, and because the Limit Mark had cultivated the process. The others had not slept either. When they noticed the god's arrival, everyone gathered in the spacious tent and respectfully knelt in two rows with their heads lowered.

"Everyone, do not lower your heads. I will not scold you. Although you worried me to death, I still want to praise you." Hestia put her hands on her waist and looked at all the members kneeling on one knee with their heads lowered.

"On your first day as members of Hestia Familia, you broke into the Middle Floors and even defeated Goliath. I have to say, everyone has made Hestia Familia famous throughout Orario."

"Congratulations to everyone for growing to this point. I know everyone's strength can no longer take risks only in the Upper Floors, so you can only enter the Middle Floors. But I also hope everyone acts within their ability."

"It would be painful to lose any member of my Familia." After Hestia finished speaking seriously, she immediately showed an energetic smile and waved.

"There should be applause here." Clap, clap, clap. Everyone applauded Lady Hestia, then looked at each other and smiled, relaxing instantly.

"Although the atmosphere relaxed instantly, why do I feel more and more that everyone is gradually becoming delusional?" Cael covered his face with one hand and quietly watched everyone smiling. An illusion. It had to be an illusion. How could everyone transform into Aqua? Hestia was the goddess of the hearth, not the goddess of wisdom, water, or healing. Yes. It was all his imagination.

"Huh? Did I say something?" Afterward, Hestia updated everyone's Status. Except for Tanjiro, Inosuke, Zenitsu, and Shinobu, everyone had obtained the same Skill. Defeating such a powerful enemy at Lv. 1 was enough to Level Up.

"Really? Except for Tanjiro, Inosuke, Zenitsu, and Shinobu, everyone obtained the same Skill! What on earth is going on?" Compared with Cael's gorgeous Skill, Hestia was more surprised by the identical Skill added to the other members. How could such a thing happen? She was afraid nothing like this had ever happened in Orario's history.

"It is not clear, but it must be the result of everyone's wills and beliefs intertwining during our joint battle against Goliath," Rengoku said energetically.

"I think so too. Everyone acquired it at the same time."

"That's right."

"I forgot." Limit Mark - When activated, greatly enhances physical ability in all directions. - When activated, temporarily increases all Basic Ability values by 1000. - When activated, increases the chance that resonating companions will obtain a Mark. - When activated, the body bears ten times the load.

"Whoa. This Skill is ridiculous. The Mark really is something else." Cael took a breath, a little greedy. Any adventurer with this Skill could challenge above their Level. Hashira could originally challenge up to two Levels higher. With this Skill, they could directly cross two Levels. From Lv. 1 to Lv. 3, they could easily challenge adventurers. Moreover, this Skill could be acquired by companions through resonance.

With this exaggerated copy-like effect, even new people who joined later could challenge above their Level after resonating with it. It could become the final foundation of the Familia in an instant. The load was still quite serious, but with healing potions, it was almost equivalent to having no load. In other words, because the body's load was too great and could not be replenished normally, it squeezed out life force.

"Ah, we have become much stronger. Let us wait until tomorrow."

"Also, there are too many Magic Stones. Although selling Magic Stones in Rivira is a bad deal, we cannot bring so many Magic Stones back, and we will get more on the way out. We have no choice but to sell them. We will only keep the most valuable drops."

"Although our injuries are almost healed, we are truly mentally tired. After returning to the surface tomorrow, we will go solve some things. I can confirm there is an Upper Rank there."

"Then I will join in the fun when the time comes," Cael said playfully, touching his chin. Tengen was referring to the Upper Rank siblings. Oh, speaking of siblings...

"By the way, Lady Hestia, I think Tanjiro's sister can also join Hestia Familia, right?"
