Chapter 299 Upgrade, LV.6
By defeating a top-tier level 6 adventurer with only a level 5 rating, Roy's actions undoubtedly broke numerous records, causing a sensation throughout Orario. His reputation spread throughout the world at an alarming rate through merchants and mercenaries.
This sparked a frenzy of adventurers, with people from all over the world flocking to Orario.
Apart from seasoned veterans who prioritize survival, young adventurers are full of passion, venturing into dungeons every day to fight monsters and gain experience points.
Under a system of grace, anything is possible!
Despite the exponential increase in casualties, the survivor bias meant that a few lucky individuals would emerge and quickly become famous rising stars.
The potential they unleashed rivaled that of adventurers from the era of Zeus and Hera, driving the guild wild. For them, the more Orario warriors they had, the better.
But everyone knows that it's not easy to stand out in this era; geniuses are everywhere.
Not to mention the monstrous Roy looming over them, suppressing countless brilliant stars, while the formidable Otto and the knight of the hill, Leon Wadenberg, stand in the way of everyone's path to becoming the "strongest."
Roy had no time to pay attention to these things.
The injuries he sustained will take three days to fully recover. Although he's not in a position to be bedridden, it's impossible for him to go out and have fun, as the girls of his clan are keeping a close eye on him.
While Lily was taking care of Roy, she said, "Lord Roy, don't even think about sneaking out, or I'll tell Lady Astrea and Lady Ryu."
Roy was heartbroken; his sweet little girl was so thoughtful.
Tiona flashed a bright, sunny smile. "Captain, Astraea and Ryu gave me a death order: I must keep an eye on you. Don't even think about it!"
"snort!"
Roy scoffed. "A mere steel plate? Laughable!" Noticing Roy's gaze, Tiona's face flushed red. "You wretched captain, where are you looking?!"
Daphne said apologetically, "Captain, I'm sorry, I really can't listen to you this time."
Cassandra said timidly, "Captain, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Roy sighed. The two most senior girls in the clan had been turned against them. People's hearts have changed.
Anya said innocently, "Captain, if all else fails, I'll sing you a song."
Roy glared at the catgirl, as if to say, "Do you want me dead?"
Tiony breathed softly into Roy's ear, "Captain, I can go out and play with you."
Roy's eyes lit up.
Tione abruptly changed the subject, a flame seemingly burning deep within her eyes, her Amazonian instincts surging forth, "But—Captain, I want one too—"
Roy's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he couldn't help but swallow. Gazing at Tione's beautiful face, mature figure, and hot, alluring body, her wheat-colored skin exuded a wild and powerful aura, and his two large nipples were about to burst out.
"Lady Tione is too dangerous! Don't go near Lord Roy!" Lily, Daphne, and the others appeared just in time and forcibly dragged Tione away.
The lewd fox was also banned from the competition. While taking care of Roy, she secretly slipped into bed, infuriating the other girls who hadn't even reached the finish line yet!
The days of playing around with the girls were wonderful, but of course, Roy didn't forget his business.
Fortunately, there's also "divine intervention," which allows you to boost your attributes across time and space!
Otherwise, Roy would be furious with these girls. The dignified leader of the clan would be unknowingly sidelined.
Roy glanced at Subaru Natsuki, that little brother.
After all, he was the first target of divine intervention.
He'd been incredibly busy lately and had barely checked on the other guy, but that guy had a death-return ability and couldn't die no matter what.
With his consciousness transferred and traversing time and space, having just completed his divine descent, Roy saw Subaru Natsuki jump onto Otto's carriage, while a dark purple monster relentlessly pursued them. It was none other than Petritchius Romani-Conti, the Bishop of Sloth who controlled the body with the "Invisible Hand."
Roy immediately knew where the plot was going.
Since the time in Zero World is calculated based on Subaru Natsuki's death and return, it will be a little slower.
The combined forces of Subaru Natsuki, Crusch, and Anastasia successfully defeated the White Whale and then dealt with the Sloth Archbishop who wanted to attack the Mezas territory and Roswaal's mansion.
This is the second time the person has returned from the dead.
If nothing unexpected happens, Subaru Natsuki will successfully defeat Petruccius Romani-Conti and discard the Fire Demon Stone from Emilia's carriage.
But it wasn't a perfect ending.
"If I were you, I would kill myself right now!" Roy's voice echoed in Subaru Natsuki's mind.
"Roy the God?!"
Natsuki Subaru was stunned for a moment, then looked up abruptly and cried out, "Roy God, where have you been all this time? I've been having such a miserable time—"
Life without Roy's help was unbearable. He got killed by Ram and Rem several times at the mansion, and was brutally beaten by Julius in the capital, losing all face.
However, the final result was not bad; he gained an important companion and his temperament became more stable.
Roy said, "Try to understand, I also have very powerful enemies on my side, and they're not easy to deal with."
Upon hearing this, Subaru Natsuki was deeply shocked and stopped complaining. It seemed that Roy wasn't having an easy time either.
"Now, once you defeat Bishop Petitius of Sloth, you will enter a new save point."
"Is there a problem?"
"Then Crusch Karsten and Rem can't be saved." Roy's next words almost choked Subaru Natsuki. His voice trembled as he asked, "Lord Roy, what does that mean?"
Roy continued, "They've now encountered two more Archbishops of Sin from the Witch Cult!"
"What?!" Subaru Natsuki's pupils dilated in shock.
They fought to the death even against a single Archbishop of Sloth, and then faced two Archbishops of the Great Sin. Crusch and Rem were wounded from the recent battle against the White Whale and didn't have much fighting power. The final result was—
"Huff! Huff! Huff!"
Subaru's breathing became rapid. Combining the information provided by Roy, he instantly understood everything. Once he completely killed Petitsch and obtained a new save point, Crusch, Rem, and the others would have already been killed by the other two Archbishops of Sin.
Dead file!
No matter how many times he dies and returns, it won't make a difference.
Roy asked meaningfully, "What are you going to do?"
"Need I say more! I will definitely save everyone, no matter how difficult it is!" Natsuki Subaru gritted his teeth, his eyes showing no sign of confusion.
Roy's lips curled up. If Natsuki Subaru didn't have this kind of determination and perseverance, he would leave immediately. He wasn't afraid that Natsuki Subaru was bad, but he was afraid that Natsuki Subaru was bad but didn't have the courage to fight for it.
"Aaaaaaah!"
Natsuki Subaru leaped from the speeding carriage, his head slamming heavily to the ground. He rolled several times, a sharp pebble striking his temple.
Instant death!
Returning from the dead, a sharp pain jolted him back to the save point. At the meeting to discuss how to deal with the Bishop of Sloth, he was surrounded by Julius, Felix, Wilhelm, and others.
Regulus Corneas, the Bishop of Greed!
"Priest of Gluttony" Rai Badenkaitos!
The two came to investigate the life or death of the beluga whale.
After the White Whale War, Rem and Crusch led their extermination team back to the capital when they encountered the two. The entire extermination team was wiped out, and the two were eaten, losing their existence and memories. Almost everyone forgot Rem, and Crusch lost her memory.
Regulus Kornias possesses the dual powers of "the heart of a lion" and "the little king".
The former allows one to freeze time and achieve absolute defense, but the heart must keep beating. If time is forcibly frozen, the heart will also stop, which is too painful and can only last for a maximum of 5 seconds.
"Little King" can store his heart in his wife's body, allowing "Lion's Heart" to operate indefinitely, theoretically making him nearly invincible.
To kill the other party, one must kill the other party's wife, or more precisely, Regulus's heart.
Even the power of the "little king" has its limitations; his wives cannot stray too far from Regulus.
The Bishop of Gluttony—Ray Badenkatos—has the power to devour the "memory" and "name" of his target. He must call out the target's name, which must be their real name, and touch a part of the target's body with his hand.
After informing Subaru of the information about the two Archbishops of Sin, Roy didn't need to do anything else; he could just wait quietly. If it were any other tool, they might have died, but as for Subaru, that was impossible.
The Bishop of Sloth intends to attack the territory of Mezas and the Roswaal mansion, endangering Emilia.
The Archbishops of Greed and Gluttony are planning to attack Crusch and Rem, turning a simple plan into a double bind. Subaru Natsuki's efforts to save them all face significantly increased difficulty.
But Roy believed that with a noble death and return, Subaru Natsuki would eventually succeed.
I just wonder how many times I'll have to die and return!
Natsuki Subaru first told those around him that the Bishops of Greed and Gluttony were about to attack the returning convoy, which immediately caused a stir, but no one doubted it.
In that world, apart from certain special beings, such as "Echidna, the Witch of Greed," no one else knew anything about what Subaru Natsuki had experienced.
After the battle against the white whale.
To outsiders, Subaru Natsuki always seems to make the right decisions, almost like he's omniscient and omnipotent.
Upon hearing that Crusch's caravan was about to be attacked, the most anxious person was none other than the opposing knight, Felix, who immediately dispatched men on horseback to chase after the caravan.
Roy observes Subaru's actions from a god-like perspective as he navigates this hellish dungeon. Time is of the essence, and there's no time to shake Subaru.
The first return from the dead successfully caught up with the convoy, but to no avail. The convoy transporting the white whale carcass was mostly made up of wounded soldiers, and their speed was not fast. Regulus and Lei caught up with them, and along with Natsuki Subaru, the extermination team was wiped out.
Having learned his lesson from his second death, Subaru Natsuki sent men to retrieve the convoy while ordering everyone to evacuate to avoid running into the two Archbishops of Sin. He also had someone investigate the location of Regulus's wife.
Due to insufficient combat power, the territory of Mezas was also destroyed by the Bishop of Sloth, Petritchius, Emilia died, and the god of war, Puck, emerged from the civil war.
Return of Death!
Return of the Fourth Death!
Subaru Natsuki finally managed to collect all the victory conditions after his seventh death and return.
The main point is to take advantage of a time difference.
Wilhelm led his mercenary group to kill the witch cultists, allowing the villagers to evacuate ahead of time.
Emilia went to freeze Regulus's wife.
Subaru Natsuki had to deal with Petruccius, the Archbishop of Sloth, otherwise Petruccius's soul could transfer to someone else. With the help of Roy's abilities, Subaru Natsuki single-handedly defeated Petruccius and finally used the Fire Magic Stone that the Witch Cult spy had buried in the carriage to blow him up.
Rius, Felix, and others will support Crusch and Rem's convoy, temporarily holding off the two Archbishops of Sin until everyone completes their respective tasks, then they will gather for a group battle to eliminate the enemy in one fell swoop.
Regulus lost the "Little King," and time stopped for only five seconds. Without his powers, he couldn't even defeat an ordinary strong man. But to kill his opponent, he had to keep the opponent in a state of continuously activating his powers, causing his heart to die due to the time stop.
They buried it deep underground, where it died from lack of oxygen.
The Gluttony Archbishop Ray Badenkatos can extract skills and knowledge from the "memories" he consumes and use them for his own purposes. However, this extraction does not enhance his physical abilities. Due to the difference in their techniques, he cannot perfectly utilize the victim's abilities.
"Roy God, I need your power!" Natsuki Subaru cried out in his heart.
"Take it!" Roy said generously.
"drink!"
Subaru Natsuki has obtained a LV.3 ability value, which is the limit they found he can withstand.
In his fourth death, he died by being overwhelmed by Roy's LV.5 power.
Most of the strong in this world rely on their power, but their bodies can still be injured by swords. They are typical high-attack, low-defense individuals. Even the Sloth Archbishop Petitchius could be killed by a few large rocks. In Orario, a Level 4 adventurer's physique could easily withstand it.
Subaru Natsuki gains LV.3 ability points, which is more than enough. He instantly becomes a superhuman and teams up with the others to defeat the final Bishop of Gluttony.
With this, the three archbishops of the Witch Cult are dead!
"Oooooo!"
A cheer erupted from the spacious open space.
This battle not only defeated the White Whale that had plagued the kingdom for four hundred years, but also wiped out the three bishops of the Witch Cult. The glorious victory even seemed unreal.
"Natsuki Subaru, it's all thanks to you!"
Crusch, Rem, Julius, Otto, Wilhelm, Emilia, and others surrounded Subaru Natsuki, showering him with praise.
"No, no, no, I'm not that great," Natsuki Subaru said modestly. Roy had already told him all the enemy's information, and all he needed to do was allocate his forces reasonably.
Even so, he still needs to return from death seven more times.
Natsuki Subaru felt like he was a bit useless, but he could also see how difficult this battle would be.
"Thank you, Roy God!"
Exhausted, Subaru Natsuki lay on the ground, feeling deeply grateful. Without Roy's power and intelligence, the Sloth Bishop Petruccius alone would have been holding back a large part of their forces.
Without Roy, it's a dead end!
Moreover, during his multiple deaths and returns, Subaru Natsuki has someone to chat with and discuss countermeasures with, which greatly relieves his mental stress and makes him feel incredibly happy.
In this world, if he shouts "I can die and return," everyone else will be crushed to death by the witch.
Only the great god Roy could ignore the witch inside him. Natsuki Subaru admired him greatly and felt lucky to have such a powerful figure in his life.
"You are welcome."
Roy laughed and said that remotely controlling Subaru Natsuki to conquer the Hell Dungeon was a rare and interesting thing, just like playing a game, not to mention that he also gained a lot of benefits.
[Subaru Natsuki successfully hunted down Petruccius, congratulations on gaining 300 free attribute points!]
[Subaru Natsuki successfully hunted down the Gluttony Bishop Ray Badenkathos, congratulations on receiving 450 Free Attribute Points and a Silver Treasure Chest!]
Roy saw two panels pop up.
Unfortunately, Regulus's power was too domineering, and Subaru Natsuki didn't have the chance to kill him with his own hands. Otherwise, it's hard to imagine what good stuff that guy would have dropped.
Roy smiled and shook his head. Being too greedy is not good. Natsuki Subaru has already done quite well in terms of what he has done in the face of the three bishops. If he were to derive another "optimal solution", he would have to go through countless more death returns. He doesn't have time to waste on that.
Using the Divine Descent technique to travel through time and space to farm rewards, while risk-free, takes a considerable amount of time. Natsuki Subaru died and returned seven times, taking about ten days.
Roy was intrigued when he saw the silver treasure chest.
It's been a while since I've opened any chests. The main reason is that the Astrea Familia is too wealthy. They can just buy whatever elixirs or materials they need with money. And with his blacksmithing skills, he can also forge all kinds of equipment.
While treasure chests can yield some unexpected items, they are random, and it's hard to say whether what you get is exactly what Roy desperately needs right now.
Roy might as well do it himself; he'll have plenty to eat and wear. A living person can't be killed by holding their pee, can they?
Roy clicks "Open Treasure Chest".
The Silver Treasure Chest has been opened! Congratulations on obtaining the Seven-Colored Star Stone, the Mysterious Bracelet, and three bottles of Panacea!
Name: Seven-Colored Star Stone Level: Epic Special Effect (Twin Magic): When casting magic, reduces mental energy consumption by 10% and increases magic power by 15%.
Note: Can be crafted and added to a staff.
Durability: 99%
Name: Mysterious Bracelet Level: Epic Special Effect (Mysterious): Wearing the bracelet temporarily grants the "Mysterious" development ability. If you already possess a "Mysterious" development ability, it will be forcibly upgraded by one level.
Roy saw the new intro panel.
The Seven-Colored Star Stone is considered a top-tier gemstone, worth approximately 20 to 30 million Faiths. Given the wealth of the Astrea Familia, it's not impossible for them to acquire it.
However, since we've encountered this situation, it's time to get some equipment for Chunji, Roy pondered, hoping it would reduce the cost of leveling up.
The second piece of equipment, or rather, the magical item, surprised Roy: the Mysterious Bracelet. Wearing it would temporarily grant him the ability to develop "mystery."
While crafting magical items may not be successful, simple maintenance of magical items like the Wind Chaser Shoes and the Silent Harp will no longer require Asphie's help.
Getting back to the main topic, which is also the most important thing.
Name: Roy Level: 5
Strength: 1136 → 1223 (SSS)
Endurance: 1255→13 (SSS)
Dexterity: 1163 → 1266 (SSS)
Agility: 1296 → 1345 (SSS)
Magic Power: 1300 → 1502 (SS)
Roy spent 507 free attribute points to maximize his ability value. After the duel, he was already very close to the limit, and it was just icing on the cake.
Without further hesitation, Roy clicked "Upgrade," and the old panel disappeared, revealing a new one.
Officially becoming a Level 6 Adventurer!
[Congratulations on reaching LV.6! You can now choose to develop one of the following abilities: Hunter, Magic Defense, or Domination!]
The hunter, the dog-skin plaster, and Roy are also going through a rebellious phase; the more they appear, the less I want to choose them.
Magic defense, as the name suggests, increases magic resistance. Ryu also has this ability to develop, and launching adventures will also increase magic resistance, so the effects overlap.
The effect of "Dominating Strike" is somewhat abstract. It is the strongest attack launched based on one's own beliefs. The more domineering the attack, the greater the boost it will receive.
This strike is a fight to the death!
Roy's gaze fell on "Domineering Strike." Undoubtedly, this development ability would enhance the destructive power of the Blood for Blood technique, and the stronger the belief, the greater the amplification.
[I have already selected the "Domination" ability to develop!]
[LV.5 Free Attribute Points Remaining: 263. Incompatible with LV.6. Converted into experience points for development abilities: Adventure E→D, Iron Body G→F, Dominator I→H!]
Name: Roy Level: 6
Strength: 0 (1)
Endurance: 0 (1)
Dexterity: 0 (1)
Agility: 0 (1)
Magic Power: 0 (1)
Development Abilities: Adventure (D), Abnormal Resistance (F), Forging (D), Invincibility (F), Overpowering Strike (H)
Skills: My Lord is Here, Divine Descent, Earth Power (Incomplete), Blood for Blood, Elven Kingship, Intuition.
Magic: Lord of Thunder, Dream of Destiny, Dimensional Obstruction, Wind of Light, Noah's Healing, Phil Eldis,
Holy Sky and Ecstasy Fimbulroy clenched their fists, and a powerful force surged forth. The injuries they had sustained in their duel with Alan Fromo were completely healed, and they even leveled up to LV.6!
He was filled with pride. With his maximum ability values from LV.1 to LV.5 stacked together, he appeared to be all I, but his true ability values were probably all C or higher.
With the addition of simulated adventure, his stats are all aiming for S, enough to crush all LV.6 adventurers. Either the opponent gangs up on him, or in a one-on-one fight, the only adventurers currently in existence who can be his opponents are LV.7 Ota and Leon Wadenberg.
