"Hey, hey, this growth, it's a lie, right!" Even Loki, who always squinted her eyes, opened them wide at this moment, forgetting to take advantage of Kaede, looking at the changes in the stats before her.
It actually added a total of over five hundred in stats. You have to know that the maximum value for each stat is only 999.
In that case, it shouldn't take many days for all stats to reach the requirements for leveling up, right? (Level up requirement: only one stat needs to reach D (500-599)). I remember Aiz Wallenstein was the fastest to level up back then, but it still took her a year to go from LV1 to LV2.
One can imagine how terrifying the rate of Kaede's stat growth is.
Kaede took the cloth from Loki's hand, saw her own stats on it, and also understood the reason for Loki's surprise.
Moreover, she herself understood it best; any slight change in power could not escape her perception. She knew every change in this body like the back of her hand.
Having 99% control over her strength is no joke.
"It's because of Gluttony." Kaede didn't intend to hide it from Loki.
"What?" Loki squinted her eyes. She also felt it was because of this skill, but she didn't know how it actually worked. Thinking about Kaede's appetite that day, could it be by eating? That's too much of a cheat, right?
"I can eat magic stones." Kaede said.
"Hmm?" Loki narrowed her eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed through them, "You can eat magic stones?"
"Yes."
"Don't tell anyone else about this skill." Loki said.
"Okay." Kaede had no intention of revealing her trump card to others, but looking at Loki's expression, it seemed there was more to it than just that.
Loki didn't continue, because this ability was one that monsters possessed, being able to strengthen themselves by devouring the magic stones of other monsters.
Loki never expected that Kaede would possess such a skill. If it were other rare skills, there wouldn't be a need to worry so much; with the strength of her Familia, she could protect Kaede, but this skill was different.
Once exposed, Loki wasn't sure if Kaede would still be treated as a human. Once classified as a monster... even if her Familia was strong, it would be impossible to go against the entire Orario, especially when there was the Freya Familia, which was no weaker than them.
Kaede watched the deep-in-thought Loki, knowing she was thinking about her situation, and that her skill was not as 'clean' as she had imagined.
However, from Loki's first sentence, Kaede knew Loki's decision. What she was thinking about now was probably the consequences of exposure and such.
A smile appeared on the corner of Kaede's mouth. She didn't disturb Loki and walked out.
After Loki finished thinking, it was indeed the case that it couldn't be exposed. The possibility of being treated as a monster wasn't high, because in the eyes of gods, human potential was infinite, and having this ability could be considered normal, but it didn't exclude those with ulterior motives.
Loki was unwilling to take this risk, so the news of this skill must be sealed.
"Kaede." After Loki finished thinking, she realized that Kaede had already left, and her face turned blank.
"Waa!! What a loss, loss, loss! I forgot to take advantage!!"
Although it was difficult to take advantage of them, when updating abilities, they had to take off their clothes, so even if they didn't want to, Loki could still take some advantage, however...
"Ahhhhhh!!"
Listening to Loki's screams, Kaede showed a helpless smile. How to put it, this goddess was quite good, but... she was just a bit strange.
At this moment, Kaede was thinking about some things. She hadn't thought about them carefully before, but now that she had calmed down, the more she thought about it, the more wrong it felt.
First of all, it wasn't as if Kaede hadn't been out before; in akame ga kill, she had been out for a long time, and the same in Orario; she hadn't shown any signs of getting lost at all.
However, in the Dungeon, she got lost, and she got lost quite badly.
At first, Kaede also thought she was directionally challenged, but now, based on past experiences, she could confirm one thing: she was not directionally challenged.
Then, the reason she got lost... was not that simple. A strange light flashed in Kaede's eyes. As for what the reason was, she would have to go again tomorrow and carefully feel it out.
While thinking, Kaede entered her room and fell asleep.
...
Early the next morning, Kaede got up, greeted them, and rushed to the Dungeon. Then, she couldn't be bothered to fight the monsters that appeared, kept the Slayer skill on the whole way, and arrived directly at the fifth floor.
"Sure enough, there's no sign of getting lost." Kaede frowned. The next part was the key, and then, Kaede... got lost again.
Every time she reached a fork in the road, she would naturally walk onto the path she had already walked...
If proof was needed, the signs she placed were the evidence, and she had walked here unconsciously.
It was her body automatically making the choice for Kaede.
The result of the experiment left Kaede a bit helpless, "So that's how it is."
Kaede sighed like this, and could be considered to have known the reason for her getting lost, but another deeper question emerged: why?
Why would her body automatically reject entering deeper floors? Was it the Dungeon's doing, or was it her own?
Kaede didn't know, and no one could answer this question for her.
If it were the other her, she probably wouldn't be affected too much, after all, she was mentally dominated, but the current Kaede was different; the body's automatic choice had the greatest impact on her.
She could perfectly control her body, so she could unleash 99% of her strength, but conversely, the body's influence on her was also the greatest.
However, Kaede didn't intend to withdraw from the Dungeon just like that, but deactivated the effect of the skill, allowing her to be discovered by the Dungeon, which meant the Dungeon began to generate monsters due to her appearance.
So be it if she's directionally challenged, anyway, it didn't have much impact on her. She would enter the next floor sooner or later, it was just a matter of speed.
Then, recent Adventurers discovered a strange phenomenon: the speed at which monsters were generated on the fifth floor seemed to have decreased significantly.
When the fifth floor recovered, the same situation happened on the sixth floor...
Regarding this phenomenon, Eina had also heard a bit, and then thought of Kaede, and then understood. It must be that she got lost on these two floors, and kept killing monsters, which caused this situation.
Regarding this situation, she just shook her head and smiled bitterly. Only Kaede could do such an exaggerated thing, but anyway, it didn't have a big impact, so let it be.
Compared to this, the next thing was a bit more important: the annual Monster Festival was about to begin.
Thinking of the Monster Festival, Eina was a bit puzzled. Why hold such an event? What is the point of taming monsters and performing for the audience?
Moreover, it was prone to accidents. Such a grandstanding event was actually requested by the Guild, a festival hosted by the Ganesha Familia.
Really, I don't understand why.
