“He’s practically a monster, you know.
The most luxurious initial status board I’ve ever seen was Riveria’s, with nine spells and two skills.”
“But yours… although you temporarily have fewer spells, it’s completely on par with hers.”
“And a rare skill that allows you to create magic independently?
I’ve lived for so many years and this is the first time I’ve seen something like this.
So, does that mean your magic quantity will have almost no upper limit in the future?”
Loki’s head was close to Asta’s as she looked at the two rare skills he possessed, and she couldn’t help but click her tongue.
It should be noted that magic is divided into innate magic and acquired magic.
Innate magic refers to magic related to the subject’s aptitude or racial foundation.
Magical races throughout history could acquire it through their latent talent, combined with training and rituals.
Although the attributes have a fixed tendency, relatively speaking, most of them have powerful and large-scale effects.
Acquired magic is a possibility that sprouts with Falna as a medium, and it is also self-realization.
It is related to an individual’s interest in and identification with things.
It has no regularity; only infinite divergences.
Loki had never seen a situation like Asta’s, where he could “create magic independently.”
What kind of monstrous skill is this?
It’s ridiculously strong!
In the later stages, one person alone would be a mage army!
Furthermore, these two skills, one enhancing mental power and the other enhancing physical ability, even complement each other.
It’s just that the freedom of these two types of magic is quite high, meaning Asta needs to discover them himself.
There will be a blank period in the early stages, and how much he achieves in the later stages depends entirely on how Asta develops.
However, Asta did not respond to Loki’s words immediately.
Asta focused his attention on his magic called Orionids, and suddenly felt like he understood something…
“Chant: Orionids.”
He seemed to somewhat understand why the favorability between him and Goddess Artemis had increased so abnormally.
But before Asta could think further, Loki lightly tapped his head from behind.
“Kid, what are you thinking about?
You’re spacing out in this situation?
Are you thinking about some beautiful girl?
Thinking that once you make it big, you’ll go back to your hometown and marry her or something?”
“How is that possible!
My Goddess, what blunt truth are you spouting?”
“Hmm???”
“Ah, bah, I misspoke.
My Goddess, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Asta felt a little flustered inside, because in a sense, Loki’s guess was basically correct.
“Well, I won’t bother with that.
Speaking of which, if your ability values are seen by others, it will cause a sensation.
You must be careful when you’re in the Dungeon.”
This was the second time Loki had warned Asta, showing how much she valued this matter.
Undoubtedly, if Asta’s ability values were exposed, those Gods would definitely try every means to poach from her Loki Familia.
Although Loki herself did not fear those Gods, whether in terms of Familia strength or personal ability.
But as the saying goes, it’s not the thief you fear, but the thief who keeps thinking about you.
There’s no way to guard against a thief for a thousand days when they can be a thief for a thousand days.
So, it’s better to avoid trouble, and it’s best to keep Asta’s ability values a secret.
“Perhaps this is just talent, can’t envy it~”
Putting aside other thoughts and looking at the paper in his hand, Asta did not hide his joy.
With such a strong start, did he even need to think about what to do next?
Rubbing his hands, Asta was already thinking about how to prepare for the next Dungeon run!
First, set a small goal: reach LV5 within two years.
With his two BUG skills and an additional magic, he would definitely be able to challenge monsters beyond his level.
At that time, Asta would damn well see how many lives Antares had to lose!
“Kid, what you just said is asking for a beating!”
Loki playfully patted his head, but the corners of her mouth couldn’t stop curving upwards.
Undoubtedly, a grown-up Asta would definitely be a pillar of the Familia.
No, it was even possible he could become the strongest in Orario.
And Loki had a premonition that Asta’s growth speed would be unprecedentedly fast!
A skill that increases growth speed~
Long time no see.
“Hiss, but this is troublesome now… sigh…”
Suddenly, snapping out of the joy Asta brought, Loki thought of the matter that was about to begin, and she couldn’t help but show a troubled expression.
“Hmm?
Is something wrong?”
“Of course, something’s wrong!
Couldn’t you have joined earlier, kid?
You just had to choose to join when my kids are preparing for their expedition… Now, preparing for your first entry into the Dungeon is going to be a headache for me.”
Saying that, Loki tangled her vermilion hair in distress.
Talent does not equal strength.
No matter how good an Adventurer’s talent is, when they are at LV1, it is their weakest point, and exploring the Dungeon can easily lead to problems.
Therefore, new Adventurers usually have seniors from their Familia look after them when entering the Dungeon.
Otherwise, they team up with people at the Guild and go together.
And in this regard, strong Familias have an inherent advantage over weaker ones.
Loki had just been thinking about which senior in the Familia should look after Asta when he first entered the Dungeon.
But then, Loki realized.
The current situation of her Familia didn’t seem to allow it!
Members above LV3 were all preparing for the expedition, which was two days away.
During this period, it seemed that the Familia couldn’t spare any powerful members to take Asta to grind in the Dungeon…
Two days included today.
This meant there was only one day left, tomorrow, as Loki Familia would embark on their expedition the day after tomorrow.
Expeditions are a tradition almost all powerful Familias have.
Because the stronger a Familia is, the more money they need to spend in all aspects.
So, every once in a while, they need to organize manpower to clear Dungeons.
Then they bring back magic stones or rare dropped items to convert into resources, thereby maintaining the Familia’s operations.
Although expeditions always come with certain dangers, they also bring rich rewards.
Material resources, experience points needed for Familia members to level up, Great Achievements…
This has made expeditions an indispensable activity among large Familias.
For example, Loki Familia basically goes on an expedition once a month.
And Asta just happened to join at the time when Loki Familia was about to depart for this month’s expedition.
This meant that Loki’s idea of assigning Asta a mentor and bodyguard fell through…
“If it’s that problem, you probably don’t need to worry too much.
I can probably solo the first few floors without much trouble~”
Knowing what Loki was troubled about, Asta said.
Even before receiving Falna, he could solo monsters with a potential level of LV1 outside Orario.
The pursuit by the gray wolf pack back then was ultimately caused by Asta soloing a lone gray wolf.
Although monsters outside Orario are generally weaker than those inside the Dungeon, Asta now had Falna, magic, and skills.
This gap could be completely closed.
