In this chaotic world, it all started when they found an elf girl

　But nobody has the leisure to appreciate it.

　Loki's Familia quickly formed a defensive formation to prevent the monster from jumping out and attacking.

　But to their surprise, there were no monsters!

　The dungeon was busy repairing the terrain and had no capacity to produce monsters. As far as the eye could see, there was only ruins and an exaggerated crack. The once dense forest canyon was now almost devoid of greenery, and everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

　The collapse of three consecutive floors has turned the dense forest canyon into ruins, and here stands a huge crack...

　All signs indicate that something unusual happened here not long ago.

　Loki's Familia formed a small team to return the severely injured Roy and Astraea to the surface.

　Those who remained had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

　"Was this done by the sprouting of justice?"

　Having learned what had happened from the goddess Astraea, everyone looked around in shock.

　With the passage blocked, the goddess Astraea unleashed her divine power, attracting the divine assassin and causing a massive collapse of the dungeon, opening a passage back to the upper levels. The divine assassin was none other than the enhanced level 6 master of the Water Maze, Amphispina.

　Astraea didn't reveal anything about the heretics, cleverly omitting the process and only mentioning that Roy used his skills to instantly kill the mutated Amphispina.

　Level 3 defeated the Level 6 mutated floor master!

　Finn, Riveria, Grace, and the others could only manage a wry smile. This matter was simply too horrifying; if they hadn't witnessed the devastation of the 30th level of the dense forest canyon with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.

　On the surface, he's a Level 3 adventurer, but his maximum firepower can reach Level 6 or higher—it's simply a miracle.

　When this news gets back to the surface, the gods and adventurers will probably go crazy.

Chapter 175 Upgrade, LV.4!

　The Garden of Stars.

　His consciousness was blurred; Roy felt as if he were in a void of darkness. He could sense that he was still alive, but his body was unable to move. It was a feeling similar to sleep paralysis.

　Roy smiled bitterly to himself. He was doomed. This was probably the most serious injury he had ever suffered, pushing both his body and mind to their limits. He had been on the verge of death at least a dozen times.

　He's so weak that even a three-year-old child could kill him with a knife.

　In the endless darkness, he could always faintly hear several voices.

　"Drops of healing, tears of light, an eternal sanctuary, call forth the elixir here. The melody of 365. The calendar of healing will save all things. Then, come forth, vanquish evil!"

　Bury the wounds, banish the pain, send the curses to the other side, send them to the Cardinal of Light. In the name of the gods, I heal you all, Dia Frattel! "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive."

　"Mr. Roy, if only my prediction had been a little more effective, sob sob~"

　"Mr. Roy, please wake up!"

　After hearing these sounds for what felt like the umpteenth time, Roy finally regained consciousness and struggled to open his eyes.

　The first thing that catches the eye is a white ceiling, a familiar feeling, it's the Garden of Stars.

　Next to him was the beautiful young woman—Amid Teysanaree, leader of the Deancat Familia and one of Orario's top healers. Tall and slender, with long, flowing silver hair, large eyes, and dreamlike long eyelashes, she resembled a delicate doll, beautiful and lively. Her high-level healing magic, "Dia Frattel," landed on him, possessing the properties of healing wounds, restoring stamina, dispelling toxins, and removing curses—its effects even stronger than mermaid blood.

　Roy glanced at him, his chapped lips parting slightly. "Looks like I'm in luck."

　The sound was barely audible, and the breath was intermittent, giving the impression of an elderly person who was on their deathbed.

　As Amid performed today's treatment, she glanced at Roy with a hint of surprise. "Wow, he's amazing. He was unconscious for five days, and just woke up. He immediately understood the situation without a trace of panic. This calm and composed mindset surpasses 99.9% of adventurers."

　However, considering the uproar Orario caused by this boy in the past few days, this little incident seemed unremarkable. The gods and adventurers outside were going crazy.

　Roy, at level 3, instantly killed the God Assassin, who was at level 6, leaving everyone exclaiming that it was impossible, absolutely impossible!

　When they saw the horrific scene from the twenty-seventh to the thirtieth floor, even the most stubborn person had to admit it was true. "Mr. Roy!"

　Upon hearing that Roy had woken up, Ryu, Astraea, Daphne, and Cassandra rushed into the living room, sobbing uncontrollably. The emotionally fragile Daphne and Cassandra clung to Roy, while Ryu, her eyes filled with guilt and remorse, silently watched him, not daring to approach.

　Astraea still wore that gentle smile, only her delicate lips were upturned even more, and the joy on her exquisite face was clearly visible. Suddenly, two "heavy objects" appeared on his back, and Roy coughed violently, "Cough! Cough! Cough!"

　"What are you doing?! He's seriously injured! Get out of here!" Amid, who hated anyone interfering with his treatment, roared in fury. Ryu, Astrea, and the others were all kicked out.

　Only Roy and Amed remained in the room.

　Through his conversation with Amid, Roy gradually learns about what happened during his coma.

　As he expected, Ryu and the Loki Familia members were pulled out of the thirtieth floor. Goddess Astraea was unharmed, but he was in a rather miserable state, with broken bones all over his body, frostbite, burns... as if he had experienced the ten most cruel tortures of hell.

　The person was completely wrapped in white bandages, like a mummy, with only two eyeballs showing.

　Not even a single finger can be moved.

　Roy had only one question, "How long will it take to get better?"

　“You won’t be able to get out of bed for a week, and it will take at least a month to fully recover,” Amid replied.

　Roy was not surprised by the result; he knew best how serious his injuries were.

　From the moment he revived the goddess Astrea, he persevered with sheer willpower. Later, when dealing with the mutated Amphispina, he almost lost consciousness before unleashing a blood-for-blood exchange.

　Even with his top-tier LV.3 physique, plus the treatment from Amid and various resources, he still needs a month to recuperate.

　Today's treatment is over.

　Amid got up to leave, repeatedly reminding Ryu, Astraea, and the others not to move Roy, or even touch him. Ryu, Astraea, Daphne, and Cassandra, scolded, dared not reply and nodded repeatedly.

　Roy only briefly woke up; deep fatigue and pain soon caused him to faint again.

　When he woke up again, it was already late at night.

　Outside the window, the moon is bright and the stars are few, a gentle breeze is blowing, and Orario is quiet, peaceful and bustling under the night sky.

　With no one in the room, Roy had a moment to spare and checked the contents of the system panel.

　Fortunately, the operating system panel could also be operated in his mind; otherwise, with his severely injured body unable to move even his fingers, Roy would have been bored to death lying in bed. However, Roy usually preferred manual transmissions, and suddenly switching to automatic was a bit of a shock.

　Name: Roy

　Rating: 3

　Strength: 1223 → 1455 (SSS)

　Endurance: 1062→1688 (SSS)

　Dexterity: 1253 → 1425 (SSS)

　Agility: 1336 → 1480 (SSS)

　Magic Power: 936 → 1698 (SSS)

　Development Abilities: Adventure (H→G), Abnormal Resistance (I→H)

　Skills: My Lord is Here, Divine Descent, Blood for Blood, Elven Kingship.

　Magic: Lord of Thunder, Enchanted Dream, Dimensional Obstruction, Wind of Light, Noah's Healing.

　Roy's mind raced, and he pulled up the system panel.

　Without even using the attribute points awarded by the system, his abilities had already reached their limit through battles with the fairy soldiers and the mutated Amphispina. His two development abilities also leveled up accordingly.

　And "Great Achievement" goes without saying; with his unparalleled record, if he can't upgrade, then who in the world can possibly reach LV. 4? [Great Achievement Achieved, Upgrade Now?]

　There's nothing left to hesitate about.

　Roy clicked "Upgrade".

　The old panel that has reached its limit fades away, and a new panel emerges, with all ability values ​​starting at LV.4 (I).

　Same as when I upgraded before.

　It was uneventful, without much feeling; his body needed to gradually adapt to the power of LV.4.

　But a hint of joy appeared in Roy's eyes.

　LV.4 is a completely new level. There are no more than two hundred people in the entire Orario who have reached this level, and they are all very famous. Reaching LV.4 means that he has entered this group.

　I'm just one step away from becoming what people call a Level 1 Adventurer (LV.5).

Chapter 176 A Dazzling Array of Rewards

　[Congratulations on reaching LV.4! You can now choose to develop your abilities: Hunter, Mage, or Blacksmith.]

　Having just completed the upgrade, a new panel popped up in front of Roy, allowing him to choose a new development ability.

　Roy frowned when he saw these three development capabilities.

　Hunters gain increased stats when they fight monsters they have previously defeated.

　Magical enhancement enhances magical power and reduces mental energy consumption; it's the most favored development ability for mages.

　Forging, exclusive to blacksmiths, can improve their skills and help them forge higher-level equipment.

　The first two are both good; you can choose this ability by killing a large number of monsters and using magic frequently.

　The last forging attempt might have been inspired by watching Gubrun forge equipment, which sparked a fleeting interest in becoming a blacksmith. After all, he's a man; it's impossible for him not to be interested in machinery, steel, and ores…

　Roy recalled several old men from his past life who would squat in front of their houses watching the excavators work, sometimes for an entire day.

　He had done this kind of thing before.

　Roy frowned because Ryu also possessed the abilities to develop as a hunter and a mage.

　By activating the Synchronization Contract and gaining Ryu's ability points, he could use these two development abilities, so choosing them was somewhat wasteful. Roy didn't hesitate for long and chose "Forging".

　[Development capabilities have been forged.]

　Roy had no intention of becoming a blacksmith, but it was normal for weapons to break while exploring dungeons, and having the ability to maintain weapons and armor was not bad. There was no blacksmith profession in the clan, so he, as a jack-of-all-trades, had to fill the role.

　Having completed the upgrades and selected development abilities, Roy finally had time to check the rewards he had earned on this trip.

　[Defeat the mutated floor master Anfispina and congratulate yourself on obtaining 4800 attribute points, the Nine Dragons Staff (Epic, Golden Treasure Chest!)] Compared to the Silver Treasure Chest, the difference is clearly visible; the Golden Treasure Chest gleams with golden light.

　The gap between LV.3 and LV.4 is too large; the attribute points gained are incompatible. 4800 attribute points are automatically converted into experience points for development. [Adventure (G→F), Abnormal Resistance (H→G), Forging (I→G)]

　Roy looked through all the panels one by one.

　Epic-level equipment Nine Dragons Staff + a never-before-seen Golden Treasure Chest + 4800 attribute points.

　I've made my efforts worthwhile.

　The incompatibility of attribute points between LV.3 and LV.4 was expected, and the system didn't cheat him; instead, it converted them into experience points for development abilities. His three development abilities were upgraded again.

　Especially in forging, he jumped two levels. Even veteran blacksmiths who have been working for several years might not reach G-level, and he hasn't forged a single piece of equipment. If those blacksmiths knew, they'd probably be furious...

　But in fact, it's not an exaggeration.

　Killing a LV.6 mutated floor master grants 4800 attribute points, enough to allow a LV.3 adventurer to start from scratch and break through the limits of most of their abilities! These are attributes that even Finn and others don't have.

　Roy's gaze shifted to the treasure chest.

　This was the first time he had ever received a golden treasure chest.

　It seems that only monsters of level 6 or higher have the potential to drop treasure chests of this level.

　LV.4 and LV.5 are silver treasure chests, LV.2, LV.3, and LV.4 are high-level treasure chests, and LV.1 and LV.2 are low-level treasure chests; it's all a matter of probability. Roy's mind raced, and he opened the treasure chest.

　The treasure chest, gleaming with a dazzling golden light, slowly opened, almost blinding him.

　[The Golden Treasure Chest has been opened! Congratulations on obtaining the Earth Demon Sword, Enlightenment Fruit, Puppet Summoning Card, Infinite Power Potion, and Ghost Poison Potion!] Name: Earth Demon Sword
