It has been three months since my meeting with the goddess Freya. During this period I descended the last two floors of the upper floors. And I completed several quests to gain knowledge in magic and making magical objects.
To practice their creation, I started keeping magic stones and emptying them of their magic with magical lamps. The crystals thus emptied keep a small magical structure, structure that I can slightly manipulate creating in theory a magical object. It took me many attempts but I managed to create luminescent crystals that are not very useful but it's a start.
In addition to these basic quests, I have also advanced my statistics.
Tank Yukki
Strength: G 284 - S 952
Endurance: G 285 - S 953
Dexterity: G 286 - S 954
Agility: G 287 – S 955
Magic: G 287 – S 955
Technically, I have more than the prerequisites for level up from a statistical point of view but I am still missing a great feat for that. And I also want to complete one last quest before level up.
[Quest in progress:
Magic quest: Making a magical object: Creates an object usable in combat without Mystery. Reward: Immediate release of Mystery when leveling up, skill starting at a higher rank.
Exploration quest : Reach the 18th floor entrance. Reward : New magic will be unlockable.
Famillia quest : Helped a member of your famillia level up. Reward : Evolution of your magic.
Domain quest : Relationship domain, quest 2/3 accomplish, last quest ???
Domain quest : Support domain will be unlock when spatial magique will be unlock. ]
In addition to finishing my quest for magic, I also want to see if I can pass the barrier of rank S for my statistics. Egalizer allowing me to earn points quickly, I have every interest in maximizing my stats as much as possible.
Finally after these three months, I started to really improve in battle whether it be against the monsters who no longer really oppose me with danger as long as I don't go down to the 13th floor or against my classmates. Now I can hold Kaguya as long as she fights with the strength of a level one. To complete Alise and Ryu assist him, sometimes both at the same time so much that I fight with Neze to improve our cooperation.
My relationship with Neze has also deepened a lot, she decided that my bed was now our bed. She became quite cuddle and tactile with me but surprisingly we never had a real moment just for us like a date. Each time other members of the family came with us, but it apparently didn't bother her since it was she who invited them.
The only point that disappointed me is that my quest to unlock support and relationship issues are still stuck. My quest for relationships being blocked at 2/3 and my support quest requiring space magic but no information on how to get it, I do have my exploration quest but nothing guarantees that it will unlock the right magic.
Astrea: You are approaching your statistics limits, Neze is also ready at level up.
Me: Yes, my armor and Zireal are being reinforced with Asta and Cecil. Neze did the same. The guild informed us that several Infants dragons have been spotted on the 12th floor. We will go eliminate them with Ryu, Lyra, and Neze hoping that we can all level up.
Astrea: It would be wonderful, four of my children moving up levels would be a great source of pride.
Me: And of stress, four titles to defend during the Denatus.
Astrea: Ah yes... it's going to be hard... an idea of the title you would like?
Me: No, let the gods choose a ridiculous name, it will curb the desires of some.
Astrea: Out of the question, I refuse to have one of my children ridiculed!
Me: It's just nicknames, when I'm a first class we can change them but until then it's better to keep a low profile. Fight more for the girls, I don't care about my image.
Astrea: If that's what you want... Come on, the girls are waiting for you downstairs.
Me: I'm going, wish us luck... mama Astrea.
Astrea smiles: I would wait for the good news.
Neze: Ready?
Me: Yep, we go pick up our equipment at the girls' and we go down. Lyra and Ryu?
Neze: They went to get the potions etc with Alize and Kaguya.
After collecting our weapons and armor and getting equipped, we joined the others in front of the Tower of Babel. There, a surprise awaited us.
Heith: Hi everyone.
Me: Hetih? Hi, can we help you?
Hetih: My goddess asked me to accompany you, it's my day of rest.
Me: Ah ok, well welcome aboard. Sorry today no bed for you.
She blushed. Indeed, since my meeting with Freya and Heith, the goddess of love has come two to three times a week to see our goddess bringing Heith with her each time. And each time Heith came to help me in my magical research, in reality she collapsed from fatigue on my bed and stayed there until the departure of her goddess. It also happens that she stays with us in our dinner, in which case she takes care of us after our training. Over time, Heith and our family have become closer, it must be said that we have a simple vision: our goddesses are friends so we should get along with each other at least. And Heith has a frankly good character. Well, as long as you are not an enemy of Freya.
Heith: So what is our objeccitf?
Me: The guild brought back several Infantine dragons on a journey, we accepted an elimination quest. Ryu and Lyra will team up together and Neze and I form another one, we want to level up thanks to that.
Heith suprise: Can you already level up? You must have a stat at D maximun. I know that the desire to level up is strong but don't neglect your stats.
Alise: Believe me, he doesn't neglect them at all.
Hetih: Really? Interesting.
Kaguya: Captain stop bragging to Tank or his ego will explode.
Me: I don't think I have the biggest ego among us, Kaguya. It's not me who boasts about being 'the best swordswoman in the East'.
Kaguya: If it's true, it's not boasting. Come on, move forward, we have dragons to kill.
It took us two hours to reach the twelfth floor.
Alise: Let the hunt begin. Who opens the ball?
Neze: Let Ryu and Lyra go there, they've been waiting for this for a long time.
Alise: We hold back the other monsters. Focus on your dragons.
Infant dragon : ROARRGH!
Lyra: Let's go Ryu.
Ryu : I follow you Lyra.
Ryu and Lyra rushed at the infant dragon separating from each side thus dodging a jet of flame. Ryu distracted the Dragon's attention, he tried to devour her. Ryu dodged him without real difficulty. Lyra she slide under his belly and began to cut into his right foreleg.
Infant dragon : ROARGH!
The monster tried to crush her but when he focus on Lyra, it was Ryu who launched into the assault hitting his left flank. After several similar exchanges the dragon began tired, losing blood the monster changed tactics, he gathered his breath, his throat blushed. Smoke escaping from his mouth.
Lyra: RUN!
The flames spread across the ground pushing my two friends away.
Ryu: Lyra immobilizes it with the mines. I will finish it off.
Lyra: Metal explosion, flames of the earth rise and supress my enemy! Müs Mine!
When the flames disappeared, the dragon began its advance towards Ryu and Lyra.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The minefield broke the monster's advance but it prepared a new incendiary attack.
Ryu: Luminos wind!
FLOUSH!
The flame wave reached a multitude of magic spheres, the two attacks cancelling each other out.
SWING! ROARG!
But Lyra threw herself forward, cutting the monster's throat, destabilizing it before jumping backward, leaving the field open for Ryu's last spheres.
Ryu: LUVIA!
BOOM! The monster disappeared in a cloud of black dust.
Familia Astrea: Congratulations to both of you.
Heith: Congratulation. Need care?
Lyra: Just some scraps, we're going to keep them for the next fight, we need to push ourselves further to level up. Alise and Kaguya had to eliminate 4 before Level up.
Me: Sniff* Sniif* Wait, do you feel that?
Neze: Sniff* it smell like sulfur...
Lyra: No...
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
