Danmachi: I'm Leveling Up In The Dungeon

Chapter 9: Chapter 9 - Matching Noble Phantasms



Here is the last chapter of the day! I will be uploading double chapters this week so leave some power stones? Positive reviews and comments are also appreciated!

p.s.: I'm working in another novel, give it a try if you're interested in R-18 novels.

"However, since the weapons are already there, there is no need for replacement. Then, only the armor is left."

"Without the share of weapons, the remaining armor requires not much valis."

"I might consider making potions now." Aston has never thought about buying very expensive armor, because in his current situation, he has no need for those expensive armors. Decent armor, suitable for use in the Upper and Middle Floors, is enough.

With today's gains, it is more than enough to buy a set of light armor of this level, and there may even be some left.

"There's still time, let's go to the next floor." After thinking for a moment, Aston set off again towards the next floor.

Today was originally a test of how many floors he could handle in his current condition.

Before, it was testing the power of his magic and where he could stand on which floor. Now, with Excalibur, he could also test his melee strength too. 

It didn't take long for Aston to reach the Sixth Floor.

The main monster on the Sixth Floor is the Killer Ant, with occasional appearances of small goblins and other creatures.

Although their main territory is from the first floor to the fifth floor, they can still appear on any Upper Floor.

Because of Excalibur, after entering the Sixth Level, Aston didn't use magic to eliminate the monsters upon entering the Sixth Floor. Instead, he engaged in close combat once again.

The main monsters on the sixth floor, killer ants, appear more frequently and in greater numbers than the small goblins on the fifth floor. There are also other creatures, similar to those in the previous floors.

Upon entering the sixth floor, Aston encountered a large wave of around twenty killer ants.

However, these killer ants were not strong; in his hands, they were as easy to deal with as cutting vegetables, unable to harm him at all.

It can only be said that Aston's strength has become even more formidable after reaching level five.

Judging from last night's Status Update, he speculated that if his current strength were converted into Status values, would definitely have all five basic attributes at A, and even S level, around 800 or 900.

With this kind of strength, he can easily roam the Upper Floors.

And he can already level up in less than two days. If word gets out, it would undoubtedly shock the whole Orario. Aston would attract the attention of the gods, and even dissection would be possible.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the difference between Status and System Upgrade.

It is absolutely impossible for an adventurer with Falna to kill the same monster as Aston does. Because Falna depends on personal potential. If a person has strong personal potential, he will grow quickly when fighting monsters.

But even so, it is impossible to achieve this level of harvest in two days like Aston.

Even the protagonist Bell, under the influence of his Longing Skill, took a month and a half to upgrade various attributes to A, S, and even exceeded this level.

But the Golden Finger used by Aston is different.

Falna cannot perfectly transform these due to the strength of its potential, but Aston's Golden Finger can. The System completely absorbs the monsters he kills, converting them into experience without missing a single bit, providing Aston with resources for growth.

Every time Aston levels up, he can transform his various attributes.

If he knew he had the Golden Finger, he probably wouldn't have bothered becoming a follower of the gods and would have started his journey alone.

However, the appearance of the Golden Finger occurred after Aston became a member of the Hestia Familia, so there was no way to change it.

Moreover, the fact that one can grow rapidly without becoming a follower of the gods, in a world where the prevailing belief is that becoming a follower of the gods is the only way to quickly become strong, makes Aston an anomaly. He would undoubtedly attract the attention of the gods.

In ancient times, such individuals were called heroes before they descended to lower world, but in modern times these beings have disappeared.

If ancient heroes were to reappear, with the capricious nature of those mischievous gods, they would certainly not let them off.

Aston doesn't want this kind of treatment.

Moreover, with Hestia, a caring and cute little goddess, as his patron, isn't it great?

So, Aston doesn't feel anything inappropriate about having the Golden Finger and still becoming a follower of the gods. 

On the contrary, he felt very happy to have such a cute loli Goddess like Hestia.

If you cultivate your relationship well, you might even have a Goddess wife.

Of course, this is just Aston's inner thoughts.

After all, although he became a follower of Hestia ahead of Bell, he is not the protagonist Bell, who, with the protagonist's halo, was liked by Hestia shortly after becoming a member of the Hestia Familia.

Uh...

It might also be because of Bell's elusive past life.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it.

Shaking his head slightly, Aston stopped the random thoughts and focused on clearing the monsters. In less than an hour, his experience points were once again full.

"Ding!!! Experience points are full, host level up, current level is 6!!!"

"Ding!! Congratulations to the Host for upgrading, and the Host will be rewarded with the Noble Phantasm: The Ever-distant Utopia!!!"

Aston: "..."

"First was the Sword of Promised Victory and now it's Avalon. This seems like a matching set." The reward from the System made Aston slightly stunned and said strangely in his heart.

Although it felt a little weird, it didn't stop Aston from liking this reward.

Avalon, The Ever-distant Utopia, this is the scabbard of the Sword of Promised Victory.

The holder will recover from any injury, and even aging will stop. Furthermore, by releasing its true name, it will deploy the strongest protective barrier. This Noble Phantasm, which nullifies magical interference and is equivalent to "magic" itself, makes even the need for recovery potions unnecessary.

"So, does that mean I don't need recovery potions anymore?"

"No, that's not it. You still need potions to restore stamina, just not for injuries."

"In other words, I can go all out!!!" Aston's eyes sparkled, and his tone was excited.

However, he soon calmed down.

"No floating, no floating."

"Although I'm not afraid of injuries, I still can't charge at those powerful magical creatures, especially the floor bosses." Aston calmed down his excited emotions in his heart. 

Just a moment ago, Aston actually thought about challenging Goliath on the seventeenth floor with his current strength. He realized he was being too reckless and imprudent.

Even with Excalibur there is no guarantee that he can kill that guy with one blow. 

In terms of injuries, there is Avalon, but the pain of injury is something different to bear, it's not cost-effective.

Aston is not a masochist.

Maybe it's better to think about dealing with Goliath after leveling up another ten levels.

After calming down his inner turmoil, Aston set off again, heading towards the next floor.
