Chapter 139: Ize’s Luck Stat… (4th Update, Please Subscribe!)

During breakfast, while listening to Tione and Tiona’s recounting, with Ais occasionally chiming in from the side, Ize finally understood the situation and what happened yesterday.

To sum it up, there were two key points.

Because he had slept the whole day yesterday, Ize missed the ability value update after the expedition and the celebratory banquet held last night following the expedition.

He had already endured some nagging from the goddess due to the girls’ concerns.

“Yesterday during the celebration, Ize wasn’t there, even though you were one of the main contributors this time—what a pity…”

Tiona nibbled on her spoon, her expression slightly regretful.

But it couldn’t be helped.

It should be considered a post-battle aftermath, right? After all, they went through such an “adventure.”

“Meh, what’s done is done. There will always be another chance next time.”

Ize smirked, not too bothered by the matter, and continued eating.

Since he ate less than usual yesterday, he might as well eat more today.

Mainly because being inside the dungeon for so long, he hadn’t tasted fresh food from the surface in a while.

It was either emergency rations or dried meat and fruits; even the stew cooked on the safe floor couldn’t compare to the delicious food on the surface.

“By the way, didn’t you guys update your ability values yesterday? How did it go?”

Suddenly, Ize remembered this and asked.

After such a long period under his magic, squeezing out their potential, and then going through the expedition, Ais and the others’ ability values should have improved at least one level overall, right?

Not asking would’ve been fine, but once he brought it up, the Amazon sisters immediately wore mysterious smiles.

The results were likely good; otherwise, they wouldn’t be smiling like that.

“Ize…”

At this moment, Ais suddenly spoke softly.

“Hm?”

“Thank you.”

Blinking, Ize met the clear gaze of the girl, understanding vaguely why she suddenly thanked him.

“Did your ability values improve greatly?”

“Mm. Strength and endurance reached C, agility, speed, and magic power are all A.”

Ais frankly revealed her ability values to him, a faint smile playing on her lips.

For Ais, who had stagnated for over a year, to see such a significant improvement in just three months was all thanks to Ize.

Although it still couldn’t compare to Ize’s absurd ability value attributes.

But after Loki enlightened her, Ais let it go.

The girl herself had a naturally innocent personality and rarely got stuck on things unless it was something specific.

At most, she’d feel a little troubled about trivial matters…

“Eh, Ais, you’re no fun! I wanted Ize to guess my ability attributes.”

“—?”

Faced with Tiona’s complaint, Ais silently tilted her head and gave her a look.

There was a strange suspicion of trying to get away with something…

“So sly! Ais, you’ve gone bad, learning to act cute and innocent here!”

“…”

“You’ve been found out, haven’t you!?”

“…” (Turned her head away silently)

Incidentally, both Amazon sisters had similar ability attributes.

Four out of five attributes reached B, developing very evenly.

Compared to her sister who lacked magical talent, Tione, as the elder sister, possessed an additional magic attribute with a magic power of H level, albeit only around a hundred or so…

Bert’s ability value increase seemed quite substantial as well.

According to other members, many people saw Bert laugh unusually yesterday.

The four of them were making noise during breakfast when Anqi, Alisia, and others sitting nearby joined in, along with the pitiful Raul.

Leaning in, Refia watched Ais and Ize sitting beside her, and a small watermelon theater unfolded in her mind, erupting into fierce battle…

“So, why did you come here!?”

In Loki’s divine room, due to some “accidents” that occurred while Ize was sleeping, the crimson-haired goddess glared at Ize with arms crossed, looking quite imposing (in her own opinion)!

However, in Ize’s eyes, Loki was Loki, incapable of ever appearing dignified.

She only had a hint of authority when they first met.

As for now… her dignity had long since vanished.

Like a certain young miss, her presence of dignity was as grand as her chest.

“Uh… update ability values?”

“Hmph! Why didn’t you come together yesterday?”

“I wasn’t in a state to yesterday, you know that.”

“Tch! Excuses!”

“Come on, isn’t that a bit unreasonable, Loki?”

“You’re lying! I’m not!”

“…”

In the end, Loki obediently updated Ize’s abilities.

[Adventurer Name]: Ize Alward

[Level]: Lv.2 (Upgrade conditions met)

[Ability Values]: Strength: A892→SSS1999 | Durability: A854→SSS1999 | Dexterity: S976→SSS1999 | Agility: S988→SSS1999 | Magic Power: SSS1999

[Development Abilities]: 「Mystery F」「Dark Star G」

The initial three magics and three skills remained unchanged.

The number of additional development magics reached six, including ‘Zodiac Disk’ and ‘Mountain-Sea Transformation’.

“These are the final ability values for Lv.2, ya know.”

Loki smoothly rewrote the updated ability values in the common language and cheerfully handed the parchment to Ize.

In the face of such an important matter as upgrading, Loki immediately forgot her previous petty annoyance and continued:

“You can also trigger the special blessing upon leveling up called ‘Development Ability’! This is data that can be checked before leveling up. There are six total!”

“「Hunter」「Luck」「Anomaly Resistance」「Rapid Healing」「Morning Star」「Starshine」, just as you said before, the unique development abilities not chosen last time won’t disappear.”

The ‘Development Abilities’ that appear during leveling up, aside from Ize’s personal exclusive ones, are all related to the actual experiences of adventurers before leveling up.

For example, 「Anomaly Resistance」.

Encountering monsters multiple times in the dungeon that could inflict abnormal statuses on adventurers leads to the appearance of this ability.

「Hunter」 requires defeating a large number of beasts in a short period, making it a rare and valuable ability.

Each development ability has its own conditions for appearance.

However…

“「Luck」? Another development ability I haven’t seen before, how do we choose? Ize.”

Curiosity is one thing, but choosing development abilities is something Ize must decide himself.

Loki may offer suggestions, but she won’t make the decision.

Moreover, she was also rather baffled by the current situation.

Half of the development abilities that appeared for Ize were unfamiliar to her, leaving her to wait for Ize’s choice.

“「Luck」 and 「Morning Star」!”

Ize answered without hesitation.

「Luck」 was an incredibly powerful development ability!

It was akin to a kind of “blessing” force!

“Blessing”—in other words, an extraordinary protection that activates unconsciously, possibly a god-like power that protects the subject from external threats.

With 「Luck」 plus the “inspiration” given by the skill ‘Star of Enlightenment’, Ize felt he could walk straight in the dungeon from now on.

An A+ level luck stat—how strong is that!?

Of course, whether it truly reaches A+ level remains questionable…..
