Multiverse Gacha

[21] Heart-Stirring Advancement!

Boom~

With the fall and demise of the last monster, the longsword in August's hand also completed its mission.

After three days of intense use, the sword was on the brink of collapse. The blade had curled, and the sword's body was covered in cracks.

With the conclusion of the sword trial, the sword fulfilled its mission.

It wasn't just this sword, now, in August's inventory, almost all weapons were nearing the point of being scrapped.

This was why, regardless of whether it was Finn or Gareth, after seeing August's attack style, they sighed. It was an extremely costly attack method.

Typical adventurers usually had at most two or three weapons.

After all, weapons would wear out. Every time they entered the dungeon, with each use, there would be varying degrees of wear and tear. If the wear was excessive, the weapon would be close to scrap.

This was also why many adventurers, despite having high incomes, didn't have much money.

High income, but equally high expenses.

Take Tiona, for example. Her weapon, Urga, was forged with a large amount of precious metal, worth tens of millions. Every time she went into the dungeon, the maintenance cost would be in the millions or even tens of millions of valis.

Not to mention other expenses, if you included potions and other consumables, after a trip, not making a few million would mean a loss.

This was also why Finn was so excited when he learned that August had a spatial skill.

Not only was it convenient to carry supplies and items, but it could also store loot.

The familia's expeditions, to ensure speed, many dropped items along the way because there was no way to carry them.

If August was there, then this wouldn't be a problem. All the loot could be stored.

"All right, let's go back!"

August stretched lazily. The task was completed, the gacha drawing was done, the swordsmanship was practiced, it was time to go back.

In less than half an hour, August returned to Orario.

The moment he stepped out of the dungeon, it felt like he had crossed into another world.

Below was the terrifying monster world, while above was the prosperous human world.

Without much delay, August headed straight to the familia's residence, the Twilight Manor.

Because August also felt that he should be reaching a limit. Since the last update of the boon, he hadn't updated it again.

"Hmm? You came back so early today, August!"

Having just dealt with familia matters and planning to go out, Finn coincidentally met August, who had just returned.

These days, August had been coming and going early and late. Not to mention Finn, even the entire familia, except for Ais, his nominal teacher, hadn't seen him.

But today, it wasn't even noon yet, and August had returned. This slightly surprised him.

"I was curious about my growth these past few days, so I came back early. Oh, by the way, Captain, do you know where Loki is?"

"Loki? This morning, she found some divine wine in the inventory and should be drinking right now."

"Then, I'll go find her."

"I'll accompany you."

"Thanks!"

Finn was very curious about August's growth these days. It took a whole year for the former Ais to go from level 1 to level 2.

So how long would August take? That made him extremely curious.

And so, the two walked side by side into the familia.

After searching a few places, they finally found Loki in the familia's guest hall, sleeping while hugging a wine jar.

Seeing Loki like this, Finn couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Loki was fine everywhere else, but when it came to alcohol, it was really beyond their control.

Because she had persuaded members of the familia to buy her alcohol more than once.

And the alcohol she bought wasn't ordinary, it was the divine wine brewed by the God of Wine, Soma. Each jar was a luxury item with a high price tag.

"Loki, August is back. Wake up!"

"Hmm? Who is it~"

Loki, in a daze, sat up, wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, and looked around.

"It's August. He came to find you to update status!"

"Hmm? Update falna? The update is scheduled for tomorrow night. What's there to update today?"

After saying this, Loki wanted to lie down and continue sleeping.

In the Loki familia, except for Ais and others who had the qualifications to have Loki update the boon at any time, most of the familia members updated the boon at a fixed time every week.

And there were limited spots. To update, you had to sign up in advance. Otherwise, Loki couldn't afford to let the blood flow all night.

"Hurry up, Loki. August is here to find you. Help him update it!"

"Forget it. This guy took our Ais-chan away these past few days. I won't care about him!"

The whimsical familia chief, also the goddess of sensuality, made Finn not know what to say.

Now in the familia, there were two people with strong opinions about August.

One, not to mention, was Lefiya, who admired Ais and now considered August a major enemy.

The second was Loki, the goddess who treated Ais as a treasure.

However, Loki herself was just playing a little temper.

After waking up a bit with the wine, she didn't continue making a fuss.

August took off his shirt, sat in front of Loki.

Loki took out a needle, pricked her finger, smeared divine blood on August's back, absorbed the divine blood of the god, and activated the status named "Falna".

"How is this possible!"

After seeing the change in August's falna values, Loki widened her eyes.

[Augustus Divus Pracentum]

[LV·1 ]

[Strength: G·230-- >SSS·1500 ]

[Endurance: G·280-- >SSS·1500 ]

[Dexterity: G·200-- >SSS·1500 ]

[Agility: G·260-- >SSS·1500 ]

[Magic: E·490-- >SSS·1500 ]

[Skills: Gate of Babylon: King's Treasure]

[Magic: Blink (can instantly move to another location, the farther the distance, the more magic consumed) ]

[Development Abilities: None ]

The status's ability values bestowed by the god's falna ranged from 0 to 999, evolving over thousands of years into the most perfect status.

However, August had now not only broken this limit but had broken all attributes.

And it wasn't just surpassing S, it was an unheard-of SSS level! It was simply astonishing.

Moreover, after the shock, there was a slight disappointment.

August had achieved the limit in all attribute values, but lacked a feat significant enough for him to level up.

In these past few days, August had only been hunting low-level monsters on the first five floors. Naturally, he hadn't ventured deeper, so there was no significant feat.

If there was one, it would be August's achievement of killing 1000 monsters.
