[133] The Subsequent Effects of Skills!

The entire room fell into silence for a moment as everyone looked at August.

"What did you say? You said you knew?"

Loki couldn't help but ask again.

"Yes, I knew, right from the beginning."

"This..."

This time, Loki didn't know what to say. August had known about this skill all along, fearing that he might have wild thoughts or even do something because of it, so Loki had erased the skill. Who would have thought that August already knew about it.

"So, what does this skill do?"

Although, in theory, everyone's skills and their effects were considered secrets or trump cards, Finn's sudden inquiry would normally cause annoyance. But August didn't mind too much, he had so many trump cards, and their numbers were increasing every day. Just returning this time and drawing gacha again would undoubtedly boost his strength.

"Lust, as the name suggests, is the power of desire. When Ais and I applaud for love, both of us become stronger, but I get stronger more than Ais, just a bit weaker for her."

"This~"

At this moment, whether it was Loki or Finn's trio, all of them were stunned.

Loki's speculation turned out to be true. August could indeed become stronger through this absurd method, and not just him, but Ais as well.

Now, August was equivalent to a walking human cheat.

"It's such a perverted skill, August. I really want to know, how much do you love women to be able to develop such a skill."

Looking at August, Loki couldn't help but say.

After all, skills were miracles born from the accumulation of a person's obsessions and possibilities through the falna. In Loki's eyes, August developing such a skill meant that he had an almost crazy craving for the matters between men and women, otherwise, how could such a skill exist?

"Every man has fantasies about having more than one women. Any man would have that, but being able to derive such a skill... you are definitely the first in history."

Riveria spoke up at this time. August's ability, along with his 'Ambition,' really left her at a loss for words.

August seemed a bit helpless about this. His ability was drawn from gacha, not because he was truly a lecherous. However, explaining this was futile, so August accepted it.

"Let's not dwell on this, I'm leaving."

August grabbed Ais's hand and then pushed open the door, leaving.

Watching August's departing figure, familia's fathers and mothers in the room all sighed.

"What do you think, Ais following August, what should we do in the future? This scoundrel will undoubtedly have many women in the future."

Loki sat cross-legged on the sofa, full of regrets. Ais was her beloved daughter, and now she found a man like this. What should she do?

"No way, it's too late no, the deed is done."

Finn shrugged slightly, indicating his powerlessness. Matters between men and women were never easy to handle.

"The only good news is that, although August is lecherous, he hasn't reached the point of loving every woman he sees."

"No, you don't understand. August's skill, although powerful, is a double-edged sword. If he's not careful, it can become the effort of desire and turn him into an existence like Freya."

"An existence like Goddess Freya? Loki, that's unlikely, right?"

"Unlikely? Based on his skill, if he wants to, he can find a large group of women. If he messes around every day, it won't take long to create a batch of adventurers with considerable strength."

"This..."

Finn also noticed the clues, August's ability wasn't just about becoming stronger himself, there was also the matter of having a companion.

In this case, August was equivalent to stealing the gods right had, which was developing his 'followers.' Finn had no doubt that any woman who tasted the sweetness of becoming stronger through such a method would not easily give up such temptation.

After all, in Orario, except for elfs, there were quite a few women who were casual about relationships.

Adventurers earned a living by risking their lives, living day by day with their heads tied to their belt. So, in many cases, choosing a partner wasn't about seeking a husband to spend their lives with, but merely finding a release.

If August's skill were exposed, there would undoubtedly be countless female adventurers willing to climb into his bed.

This was why Loki was worried. This skill was powerful, even like a bug, but it was also a vortex. If he couldn't control it, he might fall into the abyss of desire.

"Today's events must not be revealed at all. Finn, go and tell Aki too. Regarding August's matters, it must be kept secret. Otherwise, expulsion from the familia and facing the pursuit of the familia."

"Loki, is this inappropriate?"

"Inappropriate? It's very appropriate. August's matters must be kept secret."

"I understand."

Finn also understood August's importance. Because August's value was not just about this one skill.

Growth rate, strength, and bizarre skills, all of these represented August's value.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that August's existence could support any familia. In the coming years or time, it could grow into the new two top familias.

"Now it's fine. It's fine not to ask, but once you ask, it becomes troublesome."

Gareth, who had been silent and only listened, spoke up at this time.

As a dwarf, he didn't have many other thoughts, and he found August quite to his liking.

"Well, there's no other way. Gareth, what do you think if we transfer Aki to August?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"Haven't you noticed? What Aki thinks about August?"

"Uh, I haven't."

"If she doesn't like August, why would she accept the absurd task I told her before?"

"So, you want to match them?"

"Since you can't stop August from finding women, why not arrange it from our own familia?"

"Good idea."

And thus, Finn and Gareth completed the kind of conspiracy that only men understood.
