Chapter 38 - Edict (Bonus Chapter)

The familiar feeling of hunger welled up within him.

Levi gave a slight nod to Hestia, then activated 'Constellation Resonance' once again.

The Pristina Nola constellation, originally residing within the Cryo Vision, seemed to be pulled by a fatal attraction. As the boy closed his eyes, it instantly transitioned from ethereal to real, manifesting behind him in the physical world.

Since this wasn't the first time, the twin-tailed goddess didn't unleash her divine power this time.

Even so, she could faintly perceive fragments of the original owner's experiences from the Pristina Nola constellation.

"An adeptus... an undead zombie..."

"A long-lived species transformed from a human?"

Hestia muttered to herself, her eyes gradually brightening.

A goddess's affection is eternal.

Not to mention a virgin goddess like Blue Ribbon, who had been single for tens of millions of years.

After becoming lovers with Levi, her heart was already entirely devoted to him.

The reason the level displayed on 'The Goddesses' Loving Protection' hadn't reached its maximum was actually quite simple.

She was a long-lived species, while Levi had not yet conquered death.

Even though Hestia was 120% confident that the boy by her side, with the help of the [Unknown] within his soul, could surely accompany her for eternity.

But as long as that day had not yet truly arrived, accidents could always happen unexpectedly.

But now...

Hestia suppressed the excitement in her heart and sat aside, waiting quietly.

The original owner of the Pristina Nola constellation, Qiqi, was a zombie who had lived for several thousand years, but since most of that time was spent sealed in amber, her life experiences weren't much longer than Diona's.

In less than four hours, Levi, having experienced the other's life in his dreams, opened his eyes again.

Then, Hestia's voice, tinged with excitement, sounded by his ear.

"How do you feel?"

Recalling the new knowledge in his mind, Levi smiled and nodded.

"Very good."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, index and middle fingers held together, and drew a symbol in front of him that had never been seen in the DanMachi world.

He then uttered a soft "Decree."

The next second, an orange-red flame appeared out of thin air, then vanished under Levi's control.

"What's this?" Hestia showed a surprised expression.

Levi smiled and replied, "It's a new skill I learned after completing this Constellation Resonance: 'Decree'."

[Decree · 5-Star (Proficiency 78%+): Grants the Development Ability 'Mystery H'. Allows for a certain degree of interference with surrounding phenomena through hand-drawn talismans and spoken words.]

[Note: For Development Abilities gained through skills, the highest rank of the same name is recorded.]

As the 'Fortune Preserver', Qiqi could naturally use talismans as well.

It's just that most of the time, she would forget them due to her poor memory.

But this knowledge, after being replicated in Levi's brain through Constellation Resonance, brought him considerable benefits.

For one thing, he could now be considered to have broken free, to some extent, from the restriction of the DanMachi Falna system that only allows adventurers to learn three spells.

Using Decree, he could easily summon flames, storms, streams of water, or even lightning.

It's just that due to his proficiency level, the power wasn't very high for now.

Or rather, it required preparing the area in advance.

"This skill is quite good." Hestia nodded. "What else?"

"A swordsmanship style, 'Ancient Yunlai Sword Arts'." Levi quickly scanned his status sheet. "And a 'Pharmacy' skill."

[Ancient Yunlai Sword Arts · 3-Star (Mastery 26%+): Grants the Development Ability 'Swordsman H'. Proficiently master the basic and advanced killing moves of the Ancient Yunlai Sword Arts.]

[Pharmacy · 3-Star (Proficiency 7%+): Grants the Development Ability 'Mixing I'. Proficiently master common herbs and basic potion recipes.]

The information about the Pristina Nola constellation was about the same as it was on the Vision, except that the elemental energy cost was replaced by mana, and the mana recovery effect provided by the 1st Constellation Star gained a condition of a 20-point upper limit.

In a way, Pristina Nola was truly worthy of being a five-star constellation. After resonating with it, the 'Decree' skill alone was enough to make it worth the entire price.

However, after hearing her familia member's description of his gains, Hestia's reaction wasn't as happy as he had imagined.

Seeing this, Levi was taken aback, but he didn't hesitate to ask the question on his mind: "Hestia, are you not happy?"

"I am happy. Of course I'm happy that you're getting stronger, but..." The twin-tailed goddess bit her lip and, after hesitating for two seconds, finally revealed her secret thoughts. "Maybe I'm being a bit greedy, but I originally thought that by resonating with the Pristina Nola constellation, you would in turn gain a longer life."

Levi wasn't an idiot; he naturally understood what his goddess was hoping for.

He immediately raised his arm and pulled the lovely girl beside him into his embrace. "Hestia, don't be impatient. We still have a lot of time."

The twin-tailed goddess actually understood this as well. It hadn't even been a month since her familia member received his Falna, yet he had already reached Lv.3 and would soon even advance to Lv.4.

Coupled with that [Unknown Origin], as long as he waited long enough, he would inevitably obtain abilities related to long life in the future.

However, even so...

Just then, Levi suddenly leaned in and kissed Hestia on the lips, and his two hands resting on the girl's waist gradually began to grow restless.

Sensing his movements, the twin-tailed goddess was stunned for a moment, then gave him a helpless glare.

She was clearly thinking about something very serious, yet this rascal... Mmph...

Ten minutes later.

Levi, breathing heavily, pulled back slightly. Hestia, held in his arms, was a little light-headed from lack of oxygen.

A mischievous smile hung on the face of the short, pale-gold-haired boy. "Hestia, do you have any worries now?"

The goddess, having regained some of her senses, shot the scoundrel in front of her a harsh glare.

"Since you don't want me to worry, I won't bother anymore."

"However..."

As she spoke, Hestia suddenly raised her hands, pushed Levi down onto the bed, and straddled him in one motion.

With a suggestive smile, she leaned down and whispered softly in the boy's ear, "You're not allowed to sleep today, you know~"

In short, having been thoroughly aroused by her familia member, Hestia was taking the lead.

Of course, Levi was in no better state. "Don't worry, I'll make you cry out for me."

"Hmph, you little pervert~" The twin-tailed goddess raised an eyebrow, issuing a challenge: "Battle?"

Levi responded with action: "Battle!"

The next moment, an amorous atmosphere began to fill the bedroom...
