"This is?!"
Riveria looked toward the golden-haired Spirit girl at her side.
At the same time, the flaxen-haired Elf Lefiya, who was on standby nearby, also cast a curious gaze.
Slúthr's expression was calm: "Magic 'White Grail,' a type of Magic that integrates continuous recovery, area-of-effect benefits, and death delay all in one."
Her voice was not loud, but because they were in a hollow area, it easily resonated in everyone's ears.
"Previously, there was an unlucky sod who was hit by a light cannon until only his head remained, and in the end, I successfully saved him too. So, everyone of the Loki Familia, you can proceed with completely bolder combat methods. As long as it's not an instant kill, I can restore you all."
"..." x8
"Lord Slúthr, you really are..." Riveria covered her forehead with one hand.
She knew all too well what kind of beasts were hiding in the depths of her colleagues' hearts within her Familia.
Sure enough.
The moment Slúthr's voice fell, the Amazon sisters, Tiona and Tione, were the first to lose their restraint. Their fighting style directly shifted from the original offense-and-defense against the monsters to all-out offense with no defense.
In less than three seconds, several wounds appeared on their bodies.
Yet, they were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing that the 'White Grail' actually possessed such impressive recovery capabilities, the others gradually let go of their inhibitions.
Finn, Gareth, Bete, Ais.
Counting every single one of them, they all transformed into berserkers.
"Hah..."
Witnessing such a scene, Riveria couldn't help but sigh.
Then, carrying her weapon worth a fortune, she also rushed forward, even dragging along a bewildered Lefiya.
—Well, I suppose one could say they are all members of the same Familia; when presented with an opportunity to increase Ability Stats, no one is willing to pass it up.
Slúthr watched the scene before her, a trace of a smile rising at the corners of her mouth.
As a Valkyrie from the Type-Moon world's Norse mythology who recruits Heroic Spirits for the Great God Odin, she could see the color and brilliance of others' souls by relying on the 'Hero Creation' skill.
And the high-level executives and backbone of the Loki Familia, even Lefiya who had the lowest Level, possessed a complete Hero Status.
When she was in the party, every time they exchanged blows with monsters, their souls would bloom with dazzlingly brilliant light like burning flames—this also meant that everyone's Ability Stats were growing at an unprecedentedly rapid speed.
Levi, or rather the other Spirit Clone controlled by him, had actually seen similar scenes many times over the past two days.
The girls of the Astrea Familia who were pulled back from Tenkai, as undead spirits transformed after the death of heroes, could naturally also benefit from the passive effects of 'Hero Creation'.
If Levi's prediction was not wrong, after the group returned from the Labyrinth to the surface, there was a high probability that their Ability Stats would reach the limits of their respective Heroic Spirit bodies.
The only, or rather the only three exceptions, were Cassandra, Daphne, and Liliruca.
However, for a single Spirit Clone to be able to bestow 'Hero' status on five teammates simultaneously was sufficient for the moment.
...
Two days later, on the surface, inside the Hestia Familia stronghold.
Levi, who was controlling the Spirit Clone, suddenly paused for an instant.
Just a moment ago, his Development Ability 'Luck' had successfully advanced from Rank E to Rank D.
From this point on, the base acquisition probability for the designated UP item in the Card Pool increased by +60%, and the pity draw count also dropped from 65 draws to 60 draws.
Levi raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
In the next instant, behind his back, a halo of light condensed from high-concentration Ice Elements quietly formed.
Subsequently, the blue-white halo changed abruptly.
Lights of blue-white, scarlet red, cyan green, azure blue, bright yellow, jasper green, and obsidian purple emerged one after another, connecting head to tail.
They constituted a seven-colored halo of light resembling a rainbow.
(Seven-Colored Divine Light, Image! Image!)
[Seven-Colored Divine Light · 6-Star]
[Seven-Colored Elemental Energy: 7000/7000]
[After activation, can automatically absorb magic elements in the air, or consume internal Mana to convert into Colorless Elemental Energy]
[Colorless Elemental Energy can be converted into Anemo/Hydro/Pyro/Geo/Dendro/Cryo/Electro Elements in equal amounts]
[Consume corresponding Elemental Energy to change normal attacks into corresponding Elemental attacks]
[Consume one or multiple types of Elemental Energy to temper the physique and mind, increasing Ability Stats]
[When using Element-type Magic, the power and effect of the corresponding Element Magic are vastly increased]
[Auto-Casting Mode: After activation, can consume Colorless Elemental Energy to simultaneously release seven rounds totaling 35 'Icy Kitty Paws']
[Semi-Automatic Operation Mode: After activation, can consume Colorless Elemental Energy to release 4-Star to 6-Star Magic programmed into the Seven-Colored Divine Light]
'Seven-Colored Divine Light' was a 6-Star Magic constructed based on the previously compiled 'Bright's Eye', combined with the Vision equipment effects and the 'Chakra Desiderata'.
Of course, this current version was still a semi-finished product.
In Levi's conception, the core effect of the final form of 'Seven-Colored Divine Light' should be the automatic generation and extinction of Elemental Energy within the Divine Light, constantly producing Resolve, and then having the Resolve decay into Colorless Elemental Energy and Mana.
Ultimately achieving creation from nothing, and perpetual energy motion.
But clearly, wanting to achieve this goal first required completing the resonance with the 'Tenkajin-constellation' and figuring out the generation and collection methods of Resolve.
If he was willing to part with the resources, he could also pull a Gnosis from the Lv.5 Genshin Card Pool to use for research.
But whether it was the former or the latter, Levi, either because his Development Ability level was insufficient or out of consideration for maximizing benefits, was temporarily unable to do so.
He could only make do with the 6-Star Magic for now.
That being said, 'Seven-Colored Divine Light' was not really just an oversized 'Bright's Eye'.
Equivalent to the unification of seven 6-Star Visions, solely in terms of its effect on increasing Ability Stats, it far exceeded the 5-Star defective Ice and Fire Wine that Levi had concocted before.
—Thinking about it, it made sense; Ice and Fire Wine only utilized the burning reaction of Ice Elements and Fire Elements to temper the body, but with the seven types of Elemental Energy of the Seven-Colored Divine Light mixed together, the reaction types alone exceeded 10 kinds!
—Furthermore, unlike a Vision, the Seven-Colored Divine Light controlled by Levi had no upper limit on the energy output for tempering the body with Elemental Energy.
It was just that he was currently in the Possession state of 'Valkyrie' and 'Dress of Heaven', and coupled with the fact that he obtained more Upgrade Feats when at low Ability Stats, Levi did not impatiently increase his own Ability Stats like he had in the past.
Returning to the Labyrinth.
Two consecutive days of high-intensity training without needing to consider logistics and recovery caused everyone in the Loki Familia to reveal excited expressions.
Especially Finn; after returning to the stronghold and learning from Slúthr exactly how many high-level materials the eight of them had farmed over the past two days, he couldn't hold back and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha."
After the excitement passed, the 'Braver' calmed down and looked at the golden-haired Spirit before him: "Lord Slúthr, the Loki Familia intends to sign a long-term expedition accompaniment service clause with the Hestia Familia. Yes, for both the 49th Floor and the 37th Floor."
Upon hearing this, a slight smile rose at the corners of Slúthr's mouth: "Regarding this matter, please discuss it with my main body after you return to the surface."
"I overstepped." Seeing that the girl did not agree immediately, Finn very perceptively changed the topic: "Next, we will move towards the Lower Floors. At that time, Lord Slúthr, you will need to provide us with even more support."
"That is natural."
After eating breakfast, the Loki Familia party headed to the 51st Floor once again, but they did not stop at this floor like the previous two days. Instead, they traveled at high speed, taking only a little over two hours in total to arrive at the 52nd Floor.
Then, several giant worm-like monsters not far away attracted the gazes of everyone present.
