Chapter 46 - Cursed Technique: Ratio Technique!
'Puff—'
'Slap—'
'Bang—'
Within the depths of the dungeon, a brutal spectacle of violence continuously unfolds.
Wielding a black sword, Ethan rampages through, slashing all monsters in his path without exception, leaving numerous magic stones uncollected on the ground.
"Ha~ha~, is this the effect of the 'Ratio Technique'? It's really powerful!"
Ethan's face is filled with excitement, although he is a bit weary from the high-intensity fighting.
However, the joy in his heart makes him even more restless.
After making such a 'promise' with Freya, Ethan decided to use up all his diamonds, though not yet reaching 100; he couldn't wait any longer.
And he finally realized that he couldn't accumulate 100 diamonds on the last day to make a ten-consecutive draw.
So, he thought, since it's all single draws anyway, why not give it a try? Maybe a miracle might bless him.
With this thought, Ethan made a draw and actually hit the jackpot.
[Cursed Technique: Ratio Technique]
From the "Jujutsu Kaisen" series, the adult Nanami Kento's Cursed Technique, with a straightforward effect.
No matter who the opponent is, this Cursed Technique can divide his target with ten lines and forcibly create a weak spot at the ratio point of seven to three.
Hitting the 'weak point' triggers a 'critical hit'.
Even opponents stronger than the user can be significantly damaged, targeting any part of the body, and is equally effective against non-living objects.
Even against a special-grade cursed spirit in battle, Nanami Kento can use his Cursed Technique to easily sever its arms and legs.
"Phew, let's take a break!"
Having acquired such a powerful Cursed Technique, Ethan was so excited that he rushed all the way here.
Only now, having released it continuously for a while, he somewhat resembles the protagonist Bell Cranel in the original story, who, too excited about obtaining magic, forgets about the consumption of mental energy and ends up fainting due to mind zero in the dungeon.
'Pitter-patter—'
Opening the 'Imaginary Space', a large number of magic stones fall out.
Ethan skillfully absorbs the magic energy from these magic stones, feeling exhilarated; it's an awesome feeling.
'Tap—tap—'
"Hmm? It's you~"
At this moment, a voice comes from afar, and Ethan instinctively looks over.
Then he sees a familiar figure, with brown skin, wearing the Far East's distinctive bright red hakama pants, covering down to the calves, and a continental-style battle garment covering her ample chest.
Over that, she wears arm guards and shoulder pads. Inserted at her waist, she carries a katana in a black scabbard.
"Tsubaki-san~"
Seeing her, Ethan greets with a sincere smile.
He will never forget the kindness she showed by stepping in to help before.
Although he is petty and vindictive, he always remembers those who have helped him and doesn't hesitate to return the favor when they need it.
"Ethan Starfall, right? You have a nice name," Tsubaki said.
"Yes, Tsubaki-san has a good memory," Ethan complimented.
Tsubaki is a half-dwarf born from a human from the Far East and a dwarf from the continent.
Because of this, she is familiar with the naming style of both the Far East and Orario, which are somewhat different.
But she has never encountered a unique surname like his before.
"Why are you back in the dungeon after something like that happened?" Tsubaki couldn't stop herself from asking.
"I'm an adventurer! Where else would I be but in the dungeon?" Ethan replied matter-of-factly.
"That's not what I meant. Last time on the seventeenth floor, you encountered such an unfortunate event. It hasn't been that long; shouldn't you be resting properly?"
Tsubaki remembers very clearly how severe Ethan's injuries were last time.
Especially the part where he broke his finger. Such injuries need proper rest and healing to avoid future complications.
Thinking this, Tsubaki catches a glimpse of Ethan's completely intact fingers and is momentarily stunned.
"Ethan, your hand~~~"
"My hand?"
Ethan looks at his hands, somewhat puzzled, not understanding her point.
"Last time, didn't you lose a finger? How did it grow back now?" Tsubaki asked in surprise.
"Oh, that's what you're talking about. I know healing magic, and it works pretty well. Just a lost finger, I can recover it any time."
"Can a finger be regrown?"
Tsubaki is now shocked. Healing magic is rare in Orario.
Especially high-level healing magic like this is extremely scarce, with the most famous being 'Dea Saint' Amid Teasanare.
She is Orario's best healer, capable of high-level healing magic, capable of healing wounds, restoring vitality, removing toxins, and dispelling curses.
Just using this healing magic once is expensive, as the god Dian Cecht charges a hefty service fee for it.
And such a healer is unique in the whole of Orario, showing how rare people with high-level healing magic are in this world.
Ethan's ability to regenerate a lost finger with his magic is unheard of in Orario. Not even Amid possesses this power. If word of this were to spread, it would definitely cause a great shock.
"If Tsubaki-san ever needs healing and recovery service, feel free to come to me," Ethan didn't forget her kindness.
"Come to you anytime? That's a generous offer?" Tsubaki was surprised.
"After all, life-saving grace is remembered forever."
Ethan's words make Tsubaki feel good; her momentary act of kindness unexpectedly brought such a huge reward.
After all, friendship with a high-ranking healer is something many people can't ask for.
"If I really need help, I will definitely come to you," Tsubaki accepted his offer without hesitation.
"I actually hope Tsubaki-san won't come to me for healing purposes," Ethan didn't forget to remind.
"You~"
Hearing his words, Tsubaki bursts into laughter.
Wishing she won't come to him means he hopes she won't get hurt severely enough to need his help.
"By the way, Tsubaki-san, are you heading back?"
"Yes, the weapon testing is complete, and I should go back. There is a bunch of stuff waiting for me to deal with in the familia."
As the largest smith-type Familia in Orario, Hephaestus Familia has numerous collaborations, not to mention those adventurers who cooperate privately.
And as the captain of Hephaestus Familia and the best mortal blacksmith in the city, Tsubaki naturally has no shortage of orders.
Even testing weapons requires her personal involvement, showing how seriously she takes her blacksmith career.
"Next time, I'll treat you to a meal, Tsubaki-san," Ethan said.
"Alright, I'll be waiting."
Looking at Ethan, Tsubaki smiled and answered.
