Chapter 153: Leveling Up Twice in a Row, Movie Bosses Really Are the Way to Go!
In the end, this "shura field" came to an end just like that.
However, anyone with eyes could tell that the relationship between Freya and Artemis was still like fire and water.
It simply had not erupted.
Ethan's attitude was already very clear.
He was a member of the Freya Familia.
But that did not prevent his relationship with Artemis.
For these two goddesses, who both wanted to monopolize Ethan, this situation instead made them calm down.
A verbal victory had no meaning.
The most important thing was still Ethan's attitude.
And unlike Artemis, Freya knew that Ethan was a fickle guy.
Aside from the two goddesses, there was also Haruhime, that fox girl.
That little fox's entire heart was tied to Ethan.
"Ethan, it's been almost a month. This is a good time to update your Falna."
"All right."
Ethan nodded.
He really had not updated his Falna for a long time.
To be precise, after he upgraded to Lv.3, he had not updated his Falna even once.
On top of that, he had gone to the Elsos Ruins in Great Tree Sea.
It took ten days to get there, then he stayed there for two or three days, and the return trip took another ten days.
Counting everything before and after, it had almost been a month.
And during this period, Ethan had experienced many things.
Especially the subjugation of Antares.
That could already be considered a great deed of saving the world.
Just like that, Ethan did not avoid Artemis, who was standing nearby, and removed his shirt.
When had Artemis ever seen such a scene?
Although during the ten days on the way back, she had been leaning in Ethan's arms the entire time and acting lovey-dovey with him for ten full days, their relationship was still very pure.
If it was called "love," then it was pure love.
Ethan had only kissed her a couple of times or taken a little advantage through her clothes.
If he went any further, Artemis would not allow it.
After all, she was the "Goddess of Chastity."
When it came to relationships between men and women, even if she regarded Ethan as her partner, actually taking her down was still a very distant matter.
Drip—
A drop of divine blood fell onto Ethan's back.
A burst of white light rose.
Under the catalyst of divine blood, Ethan's Falna also began to improve, and the values began changing continuously.

…
Looking at Ethan's growth, Freya showed an expression that said "as expected."
This situation did not surprise her.
Instead, she felt that it was only natural.
After all, Ethan had experienced quite a lot during this trip.
"Ethan, you can rank up. And your ability values have all reached the limit. Do you want to upgrade?"
"Upgrade."
Ethan had long expected this.
If he still could not level up after this, then he really would not know what else he needed to do to upgrade.
Swish—
Under Freya's operation, Ethan's Falna level rose by one.
The improvement of his "vessel" was something Ethan could feel as well.
His body had once again completed an enhancement.
And unlike ordinary adventurers, even without Falna, Ethan's own strength was already extremely exaggerated.
To be precise, the power of Falna was only the flower added onto the brocade.
However, after Ethan had reached his current level of strength, continuing to improve naturally became even more difficult.
It was just like how the higher an adventurer's level was, the harder it became to level up.
The principle was the same.
However, under the effect of Falna, once Ethan leveled up, his overall strength would increase.
Or rather, Ethan's "vessel" had improved.
Under these circumstances, the boost brought by leveling up was extremely powerful.
"What Development Ability do you want to choose?"
"What options are there?"
"Aside from the ones that appeared before, there are two new Development Abilities this time. They are [Luck] and [Miracle]. To be honest, I have never heard of a Development Ability like [Miracle]."
Hearing Freya's words, Ethan's eyes flickered slightly.
Even Artemis seemed thoughtful.
After everything ended, Artemis had also confirmed with Hermes that Ethan had known about Hermes's plan.
Killing her and resolving this crisis had been the original script.
However, Ethan had forcibly changed all of that.
He had used a Noble Phantasm comparable to a divine-forged armament to cut off her connection with the outside world.
Through that method, he had saved her.
That kind of thing could indeed be called a "miracle."
It was an ending that no person or god had expected.
"Choose [Miracle]."
"All right."
Although [Luck] was also extremely rare and had a mysterious effect, [Miracle] was something that could only be encountered and never sought.
Perhaps it normally had no use.
But in a desperate situation, it could reverse the entire situation.
No one could say for certain.
So choosing this Development Ability was perfectly normal.
"Hm?"
However, just after completing the operation, Freya froze.
"What's wrong?"
With his back facing Freya, Ethan did not know what had happened.
However, Artemis saw the huge change in Freya's expression and curiously moved closer.
Not looking would have been fine.
But once she looked, she was shocked.
Ethan's ability values were full again.
"Ethan…"
"Is it done? Let me take a look."
Ethan thought it was over and reached out, wanting to see his Falna.
"No. You can level up."
"Huh? Didn't I just level up?"
"No. I mean, you can level up again."
"???"
This time, Ethan also froze.
What did that mean?
Consecutive level-ups?
[Name]: Ethan Starfall
[Level]: Lv.3 --- Lv.4
[Ability Values]:
[Strength: SSS·1199 --- SSS·1199]
[Endurance: SSS·1199 --- SSS·1199]
[Dexterity: SSS·1199 --- SSS·1199]
[Agility: SSS·1199 --- SSS·1199]
[Magic: SSS·1199 --- SSS·1199]
[Development Abilities]: Mystery·H, Magecraft·D, Miracle·I
He had just leveled up.
However, Ethan's ability values had basically not changed.
They were still capped.
And the great deed requirement had also been satisfied.
In other words, the great deed of subjugating Antares this time was enough to support Ethan leveling up twice in a row.
Even Ethan himself found it somewhat unbelievable.
Good grief.
Was a movie-version boss really that impressive?
This was far stronger than any floor boss.
