Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

"what?"

"I also want!"

"What do you want?"

"Get stronger!" Ais puffed out her cheeks and reached out to grab Ciel's cheek with her little hand:

"I was here first, why is she so strong!"

"Didn't I teach you that?"

"what?"

“The theory of favors!” Charles shrugged.

Ais exclaimed "Whoa!" and muttered to herself, blaming Rivera for wasting her time. Then she realized, "Wait, I want the kind that glows and makes me instantly stronger... is it magic?!"

"I want one too, give it to me!" Ais had seen through the true nature of the [Mega Hammer].

In Orario, a miracle spell that unconditionally increases a character's level by one is absolutely an overpowered cheat code.

Ciel glanced at the crowd who were all looking at him, then raised his index finger to his lips at Ais.

“Little girl, borrowed power cannot reach the strongest... I, who possess the power of the Great Immortal, know this well.”

"I just want to kill it! I have something I absolutely must kill! It doesn't matter if I'm not the strongest!" Ais retorted. "So, give it to me! Give me the power!"

"Hmph, too green." Ciel pressed his hand against Ais's head, leaned close to her ear, and whispered with a smile:

"Want to know why you're inferior to Gale? Because... her hatred surpasses yours..."

"Whoa!" Ais's pupils contracted, and she stared blankly at Ciel.

"Alright." Charles patted Ais's head. "Come find me again when you've figured out how to wield the sword and what it's aimed at."

"That power is too early for you. It will only turn you into a puppet of power and make you weaker."

Chapter 479 Ais: You are the dragon!

Ess Wallenstein.

As a 'boring heroine' who spans a thousand years of DanMachi history, she possesses qualities that everyone envies.

In Charles's view, her panel, which allows her to skip three ranks with almost no conditions and ignore the concept of level, is something that even Alfia and Chardo wouldn't dare to claim as good as.

Upgrading is not a crucial thing for this child.

Mastering the great immortal power she possesses and fully utilizing her skills is what Ais should strive for.

Ais, who was part of the Loki Familia and had been well protected by Finn and Riveria, was unaware of this problem. Their choice was to 'forbid' Ais from using this power.

【Revenge Princess】

*Activated at will

*High attack power enhancement against monster species;

*Enhances the attack power of dragon species beyond the normal domain;

*The effect increases with the level of hatred;

This skill, which Loki called the 'strongest damage output in the Nether,' is not as weak as everyone thinks.

Unlike skills like 'Bullfighting Instinct' that require certain conditions to be met before activation, 【Revenge Princess】has the characteristic of 'activation at will'.

Note that it is activated 'at will'!

This means that it can activate skills at any time according to its own 'cognition'.

Simply put, it means 'You are the dragon'. No matter what the opponent is, as long as Ais considers them a 'dragon' or a 'monster', she can gain a boost to her super-domain abilities.

Conversely, when faced with heretics, she cannot identify them as monsters, so her skills cannot be activated.

It is a more 'idealistic' power than those conditioned skills.

Furthermore, the third attribute of the Vengeance Princess is that her skill effects are enhanced with 'Hatred'.

This further enhances the [Revenge Princess's] inherent power of idealism, turning the skill's amplification into an unparalleled, super-powerful ability with no upper limit.

Note that these three effects are calculated independently. As long as both 'monster' and 'dragon' are satisfied, theoretically the first two can increase the attack enhancement by lv2. Combined with the magic enhancement of 'Wind Spirit Strike' and the skill enhancement of 'Abomination', Ais's enhancement cap is theoretically above level three.

The reason Ais can only deal level 3 damage is because the skill's maximum amplification is 3 levels.

Even for Chardo, the maximum effect of [Divine Blessing] is level three. Exceeding level three will cause his body to collapse due to the limitation.

Uranus still has hope of 'saving the world' precisely because of Ais's existence.

Just as Alfia said, the reason for using Ais as a "living sacrifice" was because of this incredible skill.

Not only can she break through the black winds blown by the black dragon, but she can also unleash power far exceeding her level limit. If she disregards Ais's life and unleashes her hatred, she can definitely cause irreparable massive damage to the black dragon.

Ais's power ceiling depends entirely on her 'hatred', which feels like 'Super Saiyan'.

When Ais can fully control her 'hatred', and remain calm in the face of 'hatred' and burn 'hatred', she will be able to break through the enhancement limit of level 3.

In the later battle against Revis, the 'white wind' that Ais blew was in a similar state.

'Black Wind' is like a Saiyan's Great Ape form, while 'White Wind' feels more like 'Super Saiyan'.

Faced with Ais's persistent advances, Ciel chuckled lightly:

"If you want to become stronger, all you need to do is prevent the 'wind' from harming you."

"To avoid being hurt by the wind?" Ais tilted her head.

"Didn't I teach you how to manipulate 'wind' before? You've already made some progress. Just keep practicing, turning the sword in your hand into armor to protect yourself, and learn not to let it wear down, and that's enough."

It is better to block than to open up.

Ais's problem is that she cannot control power beyond her own capacity, which causes the Black Wind to damage her body and burden her. Conversely, if she can fully control the Black Wind and further transform it into a more powerful and sharp White Wind, converting all its destructive power into output, Ais's strength will increase significantly.

"Let me tell you a story..."

"It is said that the origin of the dungeons, the origin of all monsters, comes from a hundred-headed dragon called 'Typhon.' All the monsters hatched in the dungeons are a part of this dragon and possess the blood of a 'dragon.'"

"Therefore, you can absolutely consider any monster as part of a dragon. The evidence is that most enhanced species, after being enhanced, will exhibit some 'dragon' characteristics."

Ais stared wide-eyed, her face saying, "Are you kidding me?"

Charles coughed. "You have to trust me. As a master of theory, I can't be wrong."

At least among the monsters that Sharl knew, the 'Moss Giant' inexplicably evolved the characteristics of a 'Dragon,' which is clearly a completely unrelated food chain.

Although he felt that the name 'Typhon' should be more suitable for 'Cyclops,' after all, it was the one who fought Zeus twice.

"At least you can start by treating horned monsters as 'dragons,' and then try to learn how to control them so that you can use anything as a 'dragon' to fight. The final step is to imitate Argo, treating windmills as dragons for a life-or-death battle!" Charles patiently instructed.

Hera walked over to Ciel and placed a chop to his head:

"The state you're describing is generally called 'chuunibyou' (middle school syndrome). Don't set a bad example for children."

"Chuunibyou?!" Ais's eyes widened. The gods had actually acknowledged this theory! And it even had a name!

After being ganked, Xia Er shrugged and took the opportunity to run into the ruins and dig out the unconscious Liu.

Russian qing.

Freya helped Ota up from the ground and publicly announced 'Nijod's' evil deeds.

A wrongful case against [Gale] has been cleared up once again, restoring the innocence of the 'Family of Justice'.

Following that, in the name of the Queen, she forcibly ordered Royman to purge the guild's officers, including the mayor of Harbor Town involved in the case, as well as the guild branch leader of Harbor Town. With the undercover list provided by Charles and her charm ability, she thoroughly purged the entire guild.

In just one day, more than 400 employees with questionable backgrounds were identified, accounting for one-third of the guild's total staff.

They may have direct connections with the secret faction, and may be the black hands that the secret faction has nurtured and supported since childhood;

Some colluded with chambers of commerce, using their positions to facilitate smuggling for chambers of commerce connected to clandestine factions, and so on...

A huge network of interests, even involving the guild leader, Royman.

Originally, Royman wanted to fine the various clans for disturbing the city because of the 'Gale' incident, but he had no choice but to reluctantly accept it.

Freya also took this opportunity to return many of the suspected gods' familiars who were targeting Gale.

But that's a story for another time...

at the moment……

On the other side of the battlefield, Finn stopped in an alleyway, blocking the culprit behind the turmoil...

Chapter 480 Finn: The Joker is nothing special.

In the narrow and complex alleyway, Finn stepped on the buildings on both sides, and with a few leaps, caught up with the mysterious man who was fleeing, wearing a cloak and a mask.

The speed of level 6 is far superior to that of the recently downgraded Gnar.

The little human, with bloodshot eyes and a gun in one hand, stood blocking the alleyway, coldly watching him.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Why don't you watch the show a little longer before you go, Joker?"

Nar stopped and subconsciously scanned his surroundings.

Having suffered a severe blow after his magic was broken by Ciel, he now felt as if he were surrounded on all sides, silently standing still as Finn made a mocking remark.

He wanted to argue that he wasn't the Joker and that it was all that guy's scheme, but it seemed pointless. Revealing his identity now would do him no good.

On the contrary, disguising himself as the Joker can actually increase the conflict between the two sides.

This is a conspiracy.

“Finn…” Nar called out his enemy’s name in a hoarse voice, then his tone turned flippant as he said, “I don’t think you welcome me.”

"How could that be? I've always wanted to have a good chat with you. Let's start with introductions." Finn smiled, and his spear suddenly thrust out unexpectedly.

Nar's expression changed abruptly, and he cursed inwardly as a 'despicable' hero.

The giant, agile tail lashed out from behind, blocking Finn's thrust, while the other side quickly retreated and jumped away.

In Finn's eyes, the spear was blocked by an invisible barrier a few meters away from the Joker, and could not be broken through.

Both of them frowned at the same time.

Nar realized that the magic seemed to still be working; Joekr seemed to have only marked his appearance and had not affected anyone else.
