Danmachi: Reaper Chapter 21 High Quality Excelia

One of Kelvin's Magic, [Madness Increase], is a Magic that will give a massive increase in Kelvin's physical strength when he starts to lose his mind.

On closer examination, the meaning of "starting to lose his mind" means that Kelvin might enter a state where he loses his mind, and becomes a killing machine that will kill everything around him.

Loki wasn't sure, but his gut feeling said so.

If so, it would be very dangerous if Kelvin used this Skill if there were other people around him.

In addition, this Magic not only gave a significant increase in physical strength, but also gave Kelvin the ability to regenerate significantly while in the effects of his Magic.

Loki didn't know how high the healing rate was, but from the description, it was likely that Kelvin could regenerate all of his injuries instantly.

As long as he didn't lose any of his limbs or organs, Loki believed this regeneration ability was enough to rival high-level healing magic.

However, this magic had one drawback; while using this magic, Kelvin would not be able to use other skills or magic.

Which means, as long as this magic is active, all Kelvin can do is rely on his enormous physical strength to fight the enemy.

And of course, with that great physical strength, Kelvin's current body will most likely not be able to withstand the side effects caused after use.

That's why, from the beginning, Loki wanted to hide this Sijir until Kelvin had a body strong enough to bear the side effects.

However, given Kelvin's current growth rate, Loki knew he couldn't hide this Magic for too long, otherwise it would be like he was stunting his growth.

'Total proficiency gained is nearly 1800 points ....'

If it was another adventurer, on his exploration of the dungeon for the first time, they would definitely only gain a few tens of proficiency points, and that was also the case for the other members of his Family.

Some things might not apply to certain members, such as Ais, who could level up to level 2 in 1 year. And that was because Ais didn't maximize all the stats she had.

Loki wanted to ask Kelvin about what he did in the dungeon to get so many proficiency points, but he decided to keep quiet today.

'The 10th floor..., and he's still level 1 ....'

This was of course surprising. Level 1 adventurers would generally only be on the 5th floor at most, considering that starting from the 5th and 10th floors, the birth rate of monsters was relatively high and irregular.

In fact, to explore the 7th floor, low-class adventurers would have a very difficult time if they were to go solo.

Although Kelvin was accompanied by Sylpha, but from the information Kelvin gave him, Loki knew Sylpha only served as a supporter while Kelvin himself was the executor.

"By the way, do you want to try your new magic?" Loki asked curiously, "I honestly want to see how it works too."

Looking at the description, of course this magic existed to make the damage to the enemy become huge just by dealing a little damage.

In fact, even the smallest of wounds can become large by using this magic.

"From the description, this magic not only affects living beings but also affects inanimate objects and the environment itself." Loki grinned as he looked at Kelvin.

Of course, this was what interested him the most.

This magic did not only work on living beings, inanimate objects and even the environment also fell into this category.

"Let me try it." Kelvin nodded.

Picking up the fruit knife on the table, Kelvin tried to swing the knife into the air, but nothing happened, which made Loki a little confused.

But, Loki raised his eyebrows as Kelvin tapped the handle of the fruit knife with his pinky.

And in the next moment....

Sraassshh!

As if resonating with Kelvin's movement, the empty air just now now had a blood-red diagonal slash slit.

"Whoa!"

Loki stared at the scene in amazement. Then he saw Kelvin direct his hand to touch the slash marks still in the air.

Then ....

"!!!??"

Loki was dumbfounded! Kelvin's hand that was originally fine was now bleeding with the same slash scar as the one left in the air!

"Wh-What...?!!! How could...?!!!"

Loki exclaimed as he stared in shock at the scene in front of him.

Cutting through the air, making a wound on the empty air, then when something passes through the slash marks in the air, they can also have the same wound given to the air?

Isn't this just like an invisible trap?!

Imagine if Kelvin set up traps like this all over Orario, and the moment anyone offended him, he only had to know that person's location and remotely activate the trap and kill that person instantly ....

Loki is speechless ....

This kind of magic, isn't it just like magic tailor-made for an assassin?

"I think I can do this too."

Kelvin's words suddenly made Loki interested.

He observed his injured hand just now, a fairly wide slash wound appeared from the back of the hand until it reached almost to his elbow.

Even so, Kelvin did not make an overreaction about the wound on his hand.

'Maybe he's used to it?'

In the next moment, the wound that was originally quite wide slowly closed, and there was no scar left on his hand at the moment.

Even so, the blood still remained and didn't disappear, showing that Kelvin was just covering up the wound he got.

"So then..., isn't this the same as healing magic?" Loki asked curiously.

"I don't think so. Even though the wound is closed, I can still feel the pain to this day." Kelvin moved his arm, examining each part of his arm carefully.

"Rather than healing magic, it's more like closing the wound by force. But that doesn't mean it heals the wound."

"Oh, I think I'm starting to understand how it works!" Loki excitedly walked around Kelvin, his gaze then locked onto the slash marks that still lingered in the air.

"By the way, can you make this disappear? It wouldn't be funny if I died accidentally from being decapitated by this, would it?" Loki put his hands on his waist as he laughed.

"I think I can." Kelvin nodded.

He focused his mind on making the slash marks disappear, and sure enough, in the next second the slash marks no longer existed, leaving the empty air just as it was.

"Hahaha! Well done, kid! I didn't expect you to master this so quickly!" Loki chuckled while patting Kelvin's back a few times.

"By the way, the expedition will be in 2 months, you might be able to join the expedition if you manage to level up in these 2 months." Loki grinned, "What do you think?"

Expedition.

That was what an Exploration-type Familia did to explore the deeper floors of the dungaon.

Loki's Familia, was one of the Exploration-type Familia, which had made it to the 55th floor so far.

And Finn, as the captain of the Familia intended to go to the 59th floor on the next expedition.

If Kelvin managed to level up in that time, the possibility of joining the expedition would increase. Of course, that meant he would get more excelia that he could get while exploring alone.

You know, when Kelvin goes to the dungeon alone or with Sylpha, they can only reach 15-20 floors at the moment, and even then it will sacrifice a lot of magic stones that they have to leave along the way.

That was why the expedition would be of great help to Kelvin. Not only would he get more excelia, but he wouldn't have to worry about leaving magic stones behind because there would be a special squad in charge of collecting and carrying magic stones.

"Well, since Finn is quite strict, he definitely won't let you join the expedition while you're still level 1." Loki explained, "That's why you need to be level 2 before two months, and you can at least join the second string on the expedition later."

Second string; this was a squad of level 4 and below Loki Familia adventurers.

They would stay behind after the first string, which contained executive members, opened a path for them.

It was of course for safety, as most of the members of the second string were lower-level adventurers.

Although some had high levels like Aki and Raul, others were still level 2 and level 3.

Well, it was for that reason that the executive members would go to clear the way, clearing monsters along the way for the safety of the second string members.

Even so, that doesn't mean they won't fight monsters, because monsters will still be born within a certain time frame, although stronger monsters have a longer time frame to be born again.

In this case, the task of the second string is quite easy, and one of them is to carry the magic stone obtained.

Some of them are in charge of carrying supplies, some spare equipment and weapons, and others are medicines.

Broadly speaking, they would only act as supporters, where the stronger members of the second string, such as Raul, would be in charge of protecting them during the trip.

Of course, Raul's task would not be too strenuous, as most monsters had already been killed by the executive members before they left.

"Generally speaking, there are two conditions to be able to level up." Loki held up two fingers with a grin, "the first is to raise one of the basic skills to D rank, and the second is to collect enough high-level excelia."

"High-level excelia?" Kelvin raised his eyebrows.

"Yes," Loki nodded, "the way is by earning achievements by defeating opponents stronger than yourself."

The first requirement can be referred to as the basic foundation.

If a building does not have a solid foundation, even if it is successfully built, it will not take long for it to collapse.

And the second requirement can be referred to as nutrition.

The way to level up basic skills was to collect ordinary excelia, while to level up, one had to collect enough high-level excelia for him to level up.

And this was what Loki was referring to.

Defeating stronger opponents.

Taking life-threatening risks.

Once these actions are accomplished, one will obtain higher and more excelia than usual, this condition is called exploitation.

"Defeating an opponent stronger than me, huh ...." Kelvin grinned.

"Well..., it seems that not only did it not scare you, you actually became more excited, huh ...." Loki paused, "usually, when people know they have to defeat an opponent stronger than them, that person would hesitate and practically panic? But, you are just the opposite. Instead of being scared, you're preparing to raise the flag of war, you know."One of Kelvin's Magic, [Madness Increase], is a Magic that will give a massive increase in Kelvin's physical strength when he starts to lose his mind.
