Chapter 225: Second Return
Before leveling up, Riezel's power in his normal state was roughly equivalent to lower-middle Level 6.
When he used strong attack mode, he could consistently fight opponents at a higher level, making his strength equivalent to lower-middle Level 7.
Now that he had leveled up, he could easily surpass soone at the limit of Level 6 in his normal state, rendering him invincible at this level.
Likewise, when he used strong attack mode, his ability to fight soone at a higher level allowed him to easily surpass soone at the limit of Level 7, making him invincible at this level.
What did this an?
'I'm already stronger than Ottar…?'
Riezel felt a slight surge of excitent.
It was worth noting that Ottar, the ultimate weapon of Orario, represented the limit of Level 7.
Aside from MAG, the rest of Ottar's basic abilities had reached S, nearly making him an all-around S-rank adventurer.
Such capability was undoubtedly the limit and pinnacle of Level 7.
Unless soone, like Riezel, could break through their limits and raise their basic abilities to SS or SSS, no one in Level 7 would surpass Ottar in status.
If Riezel could easily overco the limit of Level 7 and beco invincible at this level, wasn't this basically like being able to effortlessly defeat Ottar and beco the strongest in Orario?
'No, it's not that easy...'
Riezel suddenly beca calm, his excitent died down.
As soone familiar with the original work, Riezel knew that Ottar's strength was not to be underestimated. He also knew that the limit of Level 7 was rely a surface-level asure of power and did not represent Ottar's full abilities.
One must rember that Ottar also possessed magic and skills.
Considering this, Ottar's strength was clearly far beyond what was apparent, especially since one of his skills could significantly enhance his power.
Although the nature of his magic hadn't been revealed in the original work and Riezel didn't know it, the skill had already been ntioned. Just this skill alone could give him power far exceeding his current level, not to ntion his unknown magic.
From this perspective, claiming that Riezel was already capable of easily defeating Ottar was too early.
'Not to ntion Ottar, even against Finn, I might still have a chance of failing.'
Finn also possessed various types of magic and skills.
Riezel had learned one magic from Finn, so he knew well that even though Finn wasn't Level 7, if he found himself in a tough spot, he could unleash incredible power surpassing his current level.
In the original work, only two adventurers were explicitly ntioned as capable of challenging beyond their level.
One was the protagonist of the original work, while the other was Ais.
The protagonist could break through the limits of his status, reaching an SSS in one basic ability before leveling up, while the other four basic abilities all reached SS. With such high proficiency in basic abilities, he managed to successfully challenge and surpass higher-level opponents while still at Level 1 and Level 2.
Ais, on the other hand, possessed the overpowered enchant magic, Ariel, which granted her power far exceeding her current level. When using this magic, her strength beca equivalent to Level 6, even though she was at the limit of Level 5.
Both of them were adventurers who could consistently fight opponents beyond their level.
However, under certain conditions, so adventurers also had the potential to challenge beyond their level.
Finn was one of them.
If pushed into a difficult situation, triggering the effect of his skill and then using the magic that Riezel also knew, Finn could likely burst forth with strength far exceeding his current level.
Perhaps this was why the Loki Familia was regarded as one of the strongest familias in Orario, alongside the Freya Familia, even though the Freya Familia had a Level 7 while the Loki Familia did not.
Moreover, Riveria, while also just Level 6, was known as the strongest mage in Orario. With the power of her magic, even Ottar might be destroyed instantly.
Of course, if they really fought, Ottar wouldn't give Riveria the chance to release her magic and would never foolishly stand in place to be attacked.
In short, Riezel felt it was better not to underestimate Ottar.
With Finn, the captain of the Loki Familia, still holding such trump cards, and Ottar, the captain of the Freya Familia, capable of extraordinary bursts of strength when push ca to shove, Riezel knew he needed more ti to grow and improve his status to surpass them with absolute certainty.
With such a thought, Riezel finally cald down.
For now, he was confident he had nearly invincible power of Level 7, so there was no doubt about this.
It was the sa in strong attack mode and fast attack mode.
In fast attack mode, his speed had already far exceeded ordinary adventurers at Level 7, reaching another realm beyond.
Unfortunately, aside from speed, his other abilities were quite average, roughly equivalent to upper Level 7, which was actually still decent.
'Whatever, let's just focus on adapting to my current power over the next half month.'
With that, Riezel stretched his body, tidied up, and imdiately left the guesthouse, embarking on his journey once more.
===
In the span of half a month, ti had flown by in the blink of an eye.
During this half month, Riezel had been traveling leisurely, like a true wanderer.
He stayed wherever he went, ate wherever he was, and enjoyed rare monts of freedom and ease.
During this ti, he seed like an ordinary person—so ordinary that even his sword had been stored away in the storage space of the Dinsional Magic Cube, leaving no one aware that he was a swordsman.
By now, he had mostly adapted to his current power and achieved all his objectives in this world.
In other words, he was ready to return.
At this mont, Riezel walked along a small-town street, listening to the bustling sounds of street vendors while quietly waiting for the ti to return.
Soon, as the transparent cube in his mind began to spin, he finally reached the mont of return.
[The ti limit has reached zero, dinsional travel is about to conclude, initiating inspection.]
[User detected possessing unique powers of this world and will return with the user after dissolving the consciousness body.]
[User detected carrying unique items of this world and can return with the user by consuming dinsional energy.]
[A list of unique items has been compiled, please proceed with your selection.]
[1: Resurrection dicine (5)]
[2: Hermit (4)]
[3: Ubuyashiki Family's Jade (1)]
[4: chanical Doll - Yoriichi Type One (2)]
[5: chanical Doll - Yoriichi Type One (2)]
[6: chanical Doll - Yoriichi Type One (2)]
[7: ...]
And so, the familiar list of items appeared before Riezel.
As Riezel glanced at it, he raised an eyebrow.
'Hermit was already assimilated with the Dinsional Magic Cube the last ti I finished dinsional travel, so it should be ready to use at any ti, right? Why do I have to pay again?'
Riezel was initially puzzled but then realized.
'Could it be because Hermit was upgraded to first-class special equipnt?'
If that was the case, it made sense.
Before the upgrade, Hermit was rely second-class special equipnt, so when he took it out of the world of Danmachi, it consud only dinsional energy to assimilate second-class special equipnt.
However, now that Hermit had been upgraded to first-class special equipnt, it naturally required extra energy for assimilation.
If not for this, he could easily exploit it by taking unique items from a certain world and bringing them to another, mixing them with the unique materials of that world, and thus obtaining the unique materials without paying for them.
It was clear that the Dinsional Magic Cube wouldn't have such a loophole, so for this return, Hermit needed additional dinsional energy for reassimilation.
'Four units of dinsional energy, huh? It seems like it's accounting for the energy used in the world of Danmachi.'
Riezel rembered that the last ti, assimilating Hermit in the world of Danmachi had consud only two units of dinsional energy.
As for Fool, being first-class special equipnt, it had consud five units of dinsional energy.
Now, with Hermit upgraded to first-class special equipnt, it needed four units of dinsional energy to be taken away.
It seed cheaper by one unit compared to Fool, but he thought it was unlikely that Hermit was inferior to Fool. In terms of power and performance, the current Hermit was certainly better than Fool.
For this reason, Riezel estimated that, including the two units of dinsional energy consud before the upgrade, the current Hermit should be worth six units of dinsional energy.
"Not gonna lie, this is quite user-friendly..."
Riezel muttered before glancing at his remaining dinsional energy.
[Dinsional Energy: 190]
After spending half a year in the world of Demon Slayer, the Dinsional Magic Cube had collected a total of 180 units of dinsional energy.
He rembered that before dinsional traveling to this world, he had 40 units of dinsional energy remaining.
However, after using 30 units for the travel, he was left with 10 units.
Given this, after adding the collected 180 units of dinsional energy, his total now amounted to exactly 190 units, setting a new record.
After confirming the amount of his dinsional energy, Riezel quickly selected the items he needed to take with him.
[Resurrection dicine (5)]
[Hermit (4)]
[Ubuyashiki Family's Jade (1)]
Riezel used a total of ten units of dinsional energy to take these three items with him.
Originally, he wanted to take all the Yoriichi Type Ones in his possession as well, but after a mont's thought, he realized that he could easily create these dolls himself later.
Moreover, since taking one would require two units of dinsional energy, if he wanted to take hundreds of them, could he really afford it?
After considering it, he decided to leave the chanical dolls behind and just take Hermit, the resurrection dicine gifted by Tamayo, and the Ubuyashiki family's jade gifted by Kagaya.
[Dinsional Energy: 180]
Seeing his remaining dinsional energy, Riezel nodded in satisfaction and ended his selection.
[Selection completed, starting execution.]
[Item assimilation successful.]
[Dinsional travel concluded, initiating the return protocol.]
In the next mont, Riezel's body beca intangible, turning transparent until it disappeared without a trace.
In the small town, people continued to co and go on the main street, caught up in the constant hustle and bustle of vendors and their calls.
However, none of them noticed Riezel's departure, nor did they sense any anomaly.
It was as if the young man who had suddenly vanished in the middle of the street had never been there as they continued their peaceful, ordinary lives.
