(t/n: a short version)
As soon as he returned, Hestia immediately updated Aston's status.
Without a doubt, after another two days of adventures in the deep FLOORS, Aston's stats once again reached EX level, with no room for further increase, prompting Hestia to upgrade him.
This time, Aston had already decided on his new development ability, Floor Boss Killer.
And without a doubt, upon leveling up, Aston once again underwent a significant transformation, with his strength improving several-fold.
Aston's every level up was with EX level stats, undergoing a transformation each time, progressively increasing. By Lv.4, the increase in strength Aston received was already formidable.
In two days in the dungeon, Aston had leveled up three times in a row, significantly boosting his power, moving from the peak of Lv.5 to Lv.6.
Aston was sure, even though he had just reached Lv.4, he already possessed the combat power of a top Lv.6, and possibly even Lv.7.
This was the reason why Aston still valued Status, despite having a system.
Because the higher the level of the Status, the more terrifying the transformation during the upgrade.
This transformation meant Aston's improvement was now triple what it would be after level 30 (system level.)
"To level up again, the only option would be to obtain it from Balor, the Floor Boss on the 49th floor."
"And it must be done by myself."
"Although Balor is a Lv.7, for the current me, it's just a slightly stronger monster."
"Even if I can't beat it, with my current magic power, just releasing my power would be enough to shatter it."
"If I don't encounter Balor, then I'll have to wait for the Demi Spirit on the 59th floor." Aston thought to himself with interest, looking at the Status paper in his hand.
With a flame emerging from his hand, Aston burned the paper detailing his Status changes to ashes, then turned his gaze to Hestia, who was conversing with Airel nearby.
Just before, after updating Aston's blessing, Hestia had taken the time to inscribe Airel with the falna of the Hestia Familia.
Although she hadn't planned to recruit for the Familia so soon for Aston's growth, Hestia was very pleased with Airel's proactive approach and warmly welcomed her.
Aston also shared with Hestia his intention to form a magic unit composed of elves.
As for the magic card, Aston directly integrated it into his enchantment ability.
Hestia didn't doubt this, having seen Aston transform the armor forged by Hephaestus, which wasn't particularly good, into the finest armor.
The various miraculous abilities on that armor amazed Hestia.
Such an ability to bestow various powers on equipment was beyond the scope of humans, bordering on the realm of gods, as Aston had demonstrated with his enchantment ability.
Upon hearing about the task Aston had assigned to Airel, Hestia became very serious and started discussing the magic corps with Airel, focusing on recruiting new members.
Previously, Hestia didn't want to distract Aston as his strength wasn't sufficient, but now, Aston possessed the strength of a first-class adventurer.
Moreover, he had leveled up again, so it was certain that Aston's strength had skyrocketed once more.
Aston was special, and after leveling up, he might have already reached Lv.6 strength, a pinnacle among Orario's adventurers.
In all of Orario, only Freya Familia's Ottar was a level higher than Lv.6.
Now that Aston was actively recruiting, Hestia abandoned her previous reservations and prepared to develop the Familia.
Watching the two eagerly conversing, Aston smiled slightly and joined in.
Aston and the others discussed recruiting elven adventurers and acquiring a Familia residence...
Of course, recruiting for the Familia was the main focus.
As for buying the Familia residence, Eina was more familiar with it, while Airel wasn't as knowledgeable in this area.
Her role in the guild was that of an administrator, managing guild staff and allocating tasks, a managerial talent.
Aston decided that once the magic corps was established, Airel would be the corps leader.
After the discussion, Airel left first.
She needed to pack her belongings and would return tomorrow.
This visit was only to let Hestia inscribe the Familia's falna and confirm her membership status.
If it weren't for Eina being concerned about her mother Aina, she would have come too.
After Airel left, Aston started discussing the Xenos with Hestia.
The matter of the Xenos must not be leaked to others, even to Airel who had just joined the Familia.
Airel might accept the heretics because of Aston's presence, but it could still cause some trouble.
It was better to wait until Aston had subdued them and used transformation magic to make them appear human before introducing them to Airel.
There was no need to complicate things.
"I've already met with Ouranos today and discussed the reward plan with him."
"Ouranos thinks we can cooperate, but you need to demonstrate your ability to subdue the Xenos."
"As long as there are no problems with the heretics, he will also send people to help us and arrange their identities," Hestia relayed her meeting with Ouranos to Aston.
"That simple? Ouranos-sama didn't suspect anything?" Aston was surprised to hear this outcome.
"How should I say it, my reputation in Heaven is quite good, and Ouranos trusts me a lot," Hestia tilted her head and said with a grin.
"Hey, that's unexpected."
"What's with that tone? (¬_¬)"
"No, nothing. So, how do I contact Ouranos-sama's people?"
"Take this, go to the address on this paper tomorrow night, someone will meet you there."
