"Indeed, your achievements for leveling up are already sufficient," Hestia said, looking at the updated status and making a copy of it for Aston. After hearing about Aston's teamwork with the children of the Astraea and Loki Familia to defeat Udaeus, Hestia had a premonition that Aston's achievements for leveling up were enough.
This update confirmed her suspicion.
Although the ability values of his status had not reached EX, the achievements necessary for leveling up were already sufficient, and the option to level up appeared.
However, Hestia had no intention of upgrading Aston just yet.
After all, Aston's previous two level-ups had raised his status ability values to EX. The stronger the ability values before leveling up, the more significant the enhancement after leveling up. Hestia wasn't so foolish to overlook that.
As for Aston's new magic, Hestia didn't pay much attention.
Of course, it wasn't that Hestia truly didn't care, but compared to magic, she was more concerned about changes in ability values.
"Indeed," Aston also looked at the changes in his grace and said with a smile.
"By the way, what's with this 'Floor Boss Killer' thing?" Hestia, as usual, lay on Aston's back, resting her head on his shoulder, and asked while embracing him. Her gaze was entirely fixed on the development abilities Aston could gain from leveling up.
Warrior, Mystery, Swordman, she could understand why these would appear, but Hestia was unsure about the Floor Boss Killer ability.
Warrior and Swordman could be obtained by any adventurer who used a sword as a weapon. As for Mystery, Hestia understood that Aston would definitely get this ability after he used that enchantment magic the night before entering the dungeon.
But she couldn't have imagined the Floor Boss Killer.
"It's probably because I became an adventurer not long ago and hunted two floor bosses within a week," Aston pondered for a moment upon hearing Hestia's question, then came to the most likely conclusion.
"That's quite possible."
"After all, someone like you who became an adventurer and then quickly hunted two floor bosses in such a short time is unprecedented since the gods descended and started bestowing graces," Hestia agreed with Aston's conclusion.
"This means this ability should allow you to exert great power when dealing with floor bosses."
"Probably," Aston agreed.
"In that case, I'll choose this ability when I level up next time," Aston said with a light smile.
Aston was curious to know how effective he would be against floor bosses under the influence of both the Overlevel and Floor Boss Killer development abilities. Maybe with his current strength, he could easily defeat Udaeus, who is at Lv.6.
Well, it seems there might be no way to test that now.
His strength had already reached the peak of Lv.5, and with the next status upgrade, it would certainly improve further, reaching Lv.6, making it impossible to test.
Perhaps he could try against the floor boss of the 49th level, Balor.
Speaking of the floor boss of the 49th level, Aston remembered something else.
"Hestia, there's something I need to tell you." Aston said seriously after putting on his shirt.
"Hmm? What important matter do you need to discuss with me this time?" Seeing Aston's demeanor, Hestia knew he had another significant issue to discuss.
"Hmm." Aston nodded and then recounted Tione's invitation to join Loki Familia's expedition.
Hestia listened attentively and fell into thought after hearing everything.
"I have no objections to this matter, but it's probably not something a single child of the Loki Familia can decide."
"I'll visit Loki tomorrow and confirm this matter," Hestia said after some contemplation, looking up at Aston.
Hestia had no objections to Aston joining the Loki Familia's expedition. In fact, she wholeheartedly welcomed it.
Being able to team up with first-level adventurers and defeat Udaeus, a floor boss with the strength of Lv.6, Aston's own strength was undoubtedly first-class too.
With such power, she wouldn't worry about him joining a large expedition force into the deeper floors. She wasn't afraid of any schemes from the Loki Familia.
If something did happen, she was ready to flip the table.
Moreover, Hestia didn't forget about Aston's team leveling ability.
Just by operating with four Lv.5 adventurers in the lower floors, Aston had made rapid progress. If he joined an expedition with a large faction like the Loki Familia, his abilities might just skyrocket.
Hestia even got excited thinking that Aston's strength could reach Lv.6 after one expedition.
However, after her excitement, Hestia also thought of another issue. The invitation was just an initiative from Tione and others from the Loki Familia and was not confirmed. It still needed Loki's approval or agreement from the three leaders of the Loki Familia.
"Hmm, Tione told me they would discuss it with Loki and Finn when they return," Aston nodded.
"Alright, I'll visit Loki tomorrow."
What Aston and Hestia didn't know was that at this very moment, the Loki Familia was also discussing this matter.
