Chapter - 50 [ #V1.33 : Danmachi : Incoming Test! ]
(A/N : If I continue to write, this will go endlessly, so I decided to increase the pace of the story. Therefore, Chloe, Arnya, and Syr's romance will not be shown. So, within a few more chapters, he will leave Danmachi for the time being. Though this is only a part of the full thing. There will be another part, maybe one more or two depending upon my mood and how the story goes. He won't return till he leaves one piece world.
Thanks for reading~! )
...
Two months later!
For the two months, Ash continued to enjoy his life, while the others trained in the dungeon. During this time, Chloe, Arnya and Syr became more close to him. They even went together with the four of them to a date. Though nothing intimate happened during it. They only wanted to be a little more affectionate and spoiled.
He explained about himself and his future plans to them. Needless to say they were shocked. They wanted to go with him, but at the same time, they didn't want to be away from their other two friends. Although he could have stopped the time indefinitely, they complained that they want to be with them. Though it was selfish, he gave them a easier answer. He made rings for them which no one other than the three of them can activate. Activating this ring will allow them to take over the Avatar he built for them wherever he will be in the future. They can't do multiple tasks at the same time though. He gave the same to Hephaestus and Freya. Hephaestus accepted it as she was planning to stay, while Freya asked for something else.
She said her orginal have to be near him, so her Avatar will be in Orario all the time. Ash will go with Freya's orginal body in the Heaven.
He also got closer to other girls too. Like Scathach, Giselle, and Grafiya and Especially Ais. She now has fully grown, mature in the head, so rather than act childish and jealous, she sometimes sleep with him, and acts affectionate when they are alone. Though they haven't done anything too stimulating, as he told her that she will only be free if she were to enact her vengeance. She too believed that. Flare was still holding back, Maybe because she is prideful. Lina also showed interest in him. But he didn't asked them.
Now he found that everyone have accumulated enough exilia to level upto level 9. They reached floor 71 it seems. They reached the peak especially because of his blessings. So, after talking to them, he told them to wait in each of their own rooms so that he can level them up. After he was done, Everyone reached Level 9. Though some of them only had S or SS rank in their parameters. But he will train them to reach the peak.
After he was done, he told them they don't have to go to dungeon anymore. So, in a time controlled dimension, he began their training. And since he said he will grant them skills once they reached Level 9, he also did that when they reached level 9 SSS rank in their parameters.
Tatsuya asked for an improvement of his Elemental Eyes. He wanted it to be less strainful and have his brain capable of storing more memories. He also requested to increase of his Mana Pool by 2 times his current which was astronomical compared to his previous amount!
Miyuki asked for a more versatile ability which can let her freely dominate any elements within the limits of her own realm.
As for Orna, she requested a random skill he thinks is best for her. Since she was more of a Ariel type attacker, he gave her a skill called Mystic Wings. Of course with it she can fly and her wings have multiple forms and powers! Kind of like Erza's Requip Magic, but on a different scale. It uses her imagination and the only downside is her own energy reserves and mental capacity.
Raven asked for his skill of cutting the world into two which Ash used back in One Piece World against him. But he wanted to be capable of controlling what can he cut or not! In other words a sword intent capable of slicing at max a world into two. But can limit it to defeat anyone under the realm of God! For the sake of Raven's training, Ash made said he will need to train to master it fully.
Lina asked for a more thunder oriented ability, domination of lightning and 2 times of her current magic pool like Tatsuya.
Flare asked for something that she can use to support them for their incoming fight against the one eyed dragon. Even if they are not going to be fighting it, they need power. So he gave her True Divine Beast : True Primordial Pheonix bloodline! With it, she can regenerate almost endlessly and even support with her flames. Though obviously she needs training. As an extra, he gave her supporting skills which can increase other's abilities by multiples of two. Currently she can only do 2. But with training she can increase it to 4, 6, 8 and to the limit.
As for Ais, she asked for a cool attack skill. So he taught her Sword Tempest! It is his original spell capable of dominating the entire wind element with the only limitations being her own realm. The wind elemental waves can be deadly as even a god wouldn't be safe from it as it can't kill them but hurt them severely. It was kind of an upgraded version of her Ariel, but this skill have her pure destructive and defensive power.
Scathach also asked for a gift. He gave her spear Gae Bolg an upgrade, which with it, she can now use a special move. If she were to use it, it will be like a area effect attack, which would kill almost anything around her after giving them an effect. He also made it indestructible and growth weapon. Although use wouldn't be joining them in the battle, he just wanted to give her one especially when she asked all cutely.
Grafiya and Giselle didn't ask for anything. But he told them that he will give them one each later.
After he was done, he trained them very hard and made them all improve quite bit. For the next few weeks, he trained them without any mercy, forcing them to face the feeling of death near them. And none of them complained to him which made him smile. Scathach was obviously affected by his training as she was smiling crazily from the start to end.
...
Few weeks later....
Now after training for almost two weeks, everyone of them reached a new level. He didn't let them pass the level 9 to level 10. As even if they do go in that direction, their growth will be restricted due to strictly following the world of Danmachi's system if not for him.
He trained them and helped each of them in the path of a demi-god capable of surpassing even the primordial gods, or Celestial Bodies in the future!
He named it just Demigod level so that they know their new found strength. They were waiting for him to start talking.
"Now after six and half months, you all did very well! Ais, your time has come. Although you are a Demigod level, the other party is also one, but also at the peak. So in order to defeat it, you will have to go all out. Since you have the new sword they I've given you, killing it would become possible. After all, it can be called dragon slayer, god slayer and destroyer of origins. In the fight, no one will help you. Not even support you. This is your test. As for the others, they have their own tasks. While you will be fighting the dragon, they will be fighting his kin, or his summons if there's any. So, fight without any kind of disturbance. I'll wait for you, all of you...."
He finished and teleported them to the last floor. Although he wanted them to travel from the start to finish, he was planning to leave the world after they are done. So he didn't want them to take too much time.
(A/N : Although I haven't read the novel nor know the full story, for sure I know that One Eyed Black Dragon is the strongest monster to ever exist or maybe I'm wrong. But for the story's sake, it will be. I don't know if it is in the last floor or not. I just decided it to be like this.)
