Chapter 34: The Advancement of Gilgamesh

Chapter 34: The Advancing Gilgamesh

Ding!

You have accumulated 5159 monster kills, and your rank has been promoted to Bronze.

The 5th companion slot has been unlocked.

Ding!

After a brief adventure, you, who have accumulated some experience, have grown as Gilgamesh.

Your image has been changed to: Gilgamesh.

After the [War Game] ended.

Gilgamesh, along with Tiona and Tione, who were stirred up with a desire to fight but had no chance to vent, spent four hours grinding monsters in the dungeon.

On the way back to the surface, Gilgamesh suddenly advanced in rank.

"Lord Gilgamesh! Your body..."

Surrounded by a rainbow of light, Gilgamesh's body quickly grew from a child to a teenager.

"Hahaha...."

Noticing his own changes, Gilgamesh laughed happily, his laughter echoing throughout the entire level...

Finally, he said goodbye to his childlike physique.

So that's how it is, advancing in rank not only increases system functions but also changes one's own image.

"From now on, call me [King of Heroes]!"

"King of Heroes?"

The girls looked at each other.

Then, they laughed in unison and said, "We understand, Lord King of Heroes!"

After leaving the dungeon.

Gilgamesh and his party arrived at [Hostess of Fertility].

As agreed, Hestia, Ishtar, and Scathach were waiting there for them to start the [Victory Banquet].

"Who are you?"

Inside [Hostess of Fertility] tavern.

Looking at Gilgamesh's new image, Hestia was completely stunned.

Not only her, but even the female waitresses in the tavern were also stunned.

"Idiot!"

Gilgamesh stepped forward and pressed his hand on Hestia's head, whispering in her ear, "It's me, Gilgamesh, who is bound to you!"

"Lord Gilgamesh?"

Hestia blinked, somewhat incredulous.

Only four hours had passed since the end of the [War Game].

Gilgamesh's image had undergone such a big change, it was too incredible!

"This is the effect of the blessing!"

Hearing Gilgamesh explain this way, Hestia could only believe him.

He glanced around the shop.

Gilgamesh did not see Syr's figure in the shop.

He passed Hestia and went to the bar.

Gilgamesh looked at the dumbfounded Mia Grand, and laughed, "Mama mia, where did Miss Syr go?"

Mia Grand glanced around the shop and guessed, "She should be helping in the kitchen!"

"Kitchen?"

Gilgamesh's gaze swept around,

After finding the door to the kitchen, he walked straight over.

"Hey!"

Seeing Gilgamesh heading towards the kitchen, Mia Grand instinctively tried to stop him, "The kitchen is off-limits to non-staff!"

Gilgamesh ignored her and walked straight in.

Mia Grand's forehead veins bulged, and her raised hand fell on the counter three times. In the end, she gently placed it on the counter.

Having witnessed Gilgamesh's power through the [War Game].

Mia Grand of course understood that she had no way to stop Gilgamesh.

Arriving in the kitchen.

Syr was still not there.

Gilgamesh opened the map in confusion and found that Syr was actually in the warehouse.

"Ah!"

Syr, who was about to leave the warehouse, was startled by Gilgamesh who suddenly burst into the warehouse.

She backed away nervously, and her body accidentally hit the shelf.

As a result, the bottles and jars on the shelf were knocked down by the impact.

Gilgamesh instinctively stepped forward, intending to catch the falling bottles.

Unexpectedly, he ended up "wall-slamming" Syr against the shelf.

"You... are you Mr. Gilgamesh?"

Although Gilgamesh's image had changed a lot, Syr recognized his soul. It was like a black hole, capable of devouring everything around it.

Noticing that Syr wanted to escape.

Gilgamesh pinned her against the shelf with his body.

Syr's eyes were very red.

There was also slight swelling around her eyes.

What Freya said about her crying all night must be true.

Gilgamesh was a bit confused about the relationship between Syr and Freya.

However, one thing he could be sure of: the Syr in front of him was definitely not disguised by Freya.

"I'm sorry, I scared you last time!"

Gilgamesh's sudden apology left Syr somewhat at a loss.

She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Let's make a deal!"

Before Syr could speak, Gilgamesh preempted her, "I know you've been looking for a soul mate. I can provide you with a suitable candidate.

In about a year.

A boy named Bell Cranel will come here.

He is the adopted grandson of Zeus.

A boy who dreams of becoming a hero.

Freya, I can guarantee that his soul will not disappoint you.

You can find the happiness you want in him.

So, please stay away from Artoria. Otherwise, I will fulfill my promise last time. You should know by now, this is not a threat. I have the ability!"

"I..."

Just as Syr was about to speak, the warehouse door was suddenly pushed open.

The figure of Ryu Lion suddenly appeared.

"Syr?"

Seeing Syr being "wall-slammed" by Gilgamesh on the shelf, Ryu Lion's face turned red instantly, "Eh eh eh... sorry, I seem to have disturbed you!"

"Ah!"

Watching Ryu Lion run away.

Gilgamesh knew that she must have misunderstood his relationship with Syr.

The victory banquet ended.

Gilgamesh and his party returned to the hotel.

He had Hestia update his blessing for him.

Level: lv.1.

[Strength: i0], [Endurance: i0], [Dexterity: s996], [Agility: i55], [Magic Power: s931].

Looking at his own blessing attributes.

Gilgamesh fell silent.

Apart from the dexterity and magic power attributes, the growth of the remaining attributes was too slow!

Moreover, it was strange that strength and endurance had not grown at all.

Seeing Gilgamesh's puzzled expression, Hestia laughed and asked, "Are you wondering why only the [Dexterity] and [Magic Power] attributes are growing so fast?"

Gilgamesh nodded.

"This is because you have been using [King's Treasure] to attack monsters."

Hestia explained with a smile, "To increase strength, you need the experience of [defeating enemies with strength]. To increase dexterity, you need the experience of [hitting enemies with tools]. To increase agility, you need the experience of [constant running]. To increase endurance, you need the experience of [getting hit]. To increase magic power, you need the experience of [using magic].

When you use the King's Treasure, you can only gain the experience of [hitting monsters with tools] and [using magic]. Plus, you have never attacked monsters with strength. You have also never been hit by monsters, so naturally, your strength and endurance attributes are zero."
