Danma: Danganronpa, but Monster Hunter!

I won't bother you anymore, I'm leaving!

Bert & Ais: ? ?

What's going on? Why did the monster come and then leave?

Instinctively, the two turned their gaze to the flames, seemingly awaiting his instructions.

What should we do? Fight or not?

As he watched the Sand Dragon's retreating figure, a glint flashed in his fiery eyes.

Since we're already here, why are we in such a hurry to leave?

It's not impossible for you to leave, but you'll have to hand over the documents you have on you!

"Ais, Bert, chase after them!!"

Chapter 57: Updating Attributes

"Alright, to celebrate our dear Ais and Riveria's first successful mission here, it's time for a feast! Drink to your heart's content!!"

Loki started by raising his glass to liven things up, but then looked a little dejected.

"While I understand what you're saying, there's a celebratory dinner planned for Orario tonight, so we can't drink alcohol right now. We can only have some juice instead. What a shame..."

"There's nothing to regret; in fact, this is the best way to go."

Finn chuckled, then looked at Tione beside him. His slightly helpless gaze seemed to say, "Since the chief god has said so, don't pour me any more wine." Tione paused, hesitant, but in the end, she could only give in to Finn's gaze. She could only put the wine bottle far away and look at Loki, who was giving the chief god's order, with a hint of resentment.

Like being targeted by a venomous snake, Loki's body stiffened slightly, cold sweat broke out, and he quickly begged for mercy:

"It's all for the sake of secrecy, secrecy! Tione, if you have any ideas, you can put them into practice at the victory celebration tonight, the time will be more suitable, right... Hahaha..."

The others completely ignored the clowning main god.

Grace picked up the wheat juice and drank it all in one gulp.

"This was truly a spectacular battle, no, I should say two. What was the name of the monster that appeared at the end?"

“That’s a Sand Dragon,” Flame replied.

"Speaking of which, is it really okay to do this? That monster isn't our mission target, is it?" Hearing Grace and Flame discussing the battle that had just taken place, Riveria looked over curiously and asked.

"No problem. Hunters have the right to take emergency evasive action against monsters that wander into the area during a hunt. Although generally they only drive the monsters away, considering that the current task is to keep the roads in Yukumo Village clear, simply driving it away might cause it to return to the entrance of Yukumo Village. So it's more appropriate to hunt it down directly."

As Lieyan spoke, a barely suppressed smile appeared on his face.

He had originally thought that it would be good if he could finish the mission of capturing the Rock Dragon smoothly, but he did not expect that he would have an unexpected surprise at the last moment.

The materials from Barroth are not only an essential part of his upgrade to high-rank equipment, but can also be used to craft defense jewels.

High-rank equipment has its own unique decoration slots, allowing hunters to socket decorations with different skills into the equipment to gain different enhancements.

This Defense Jewel, combined with his carefully selected full set of high-rank equipment from the Rock Dragon and Barroth, along with three additional Poison Resistance Jewels, can directly grant Blaze a bonus of Defense 7, Defense Performance 4, Poison Resistance 3, and Ammo Reload 2.

It has thicker defense than before, is resistant to poison, and allows the Charge Blade to recharge faster.

Unfortunately, although the guild's Palico team has been urgently dispatched back to Flamefire Village with materials from the Rock Dragon and Barroth for forging, it will still take at least five more days before the new equipment can be truly equipped.

hateful,

I wish I could travel to five days in the future and immediately change into the new gear!

"So that's it..."

Ais, standing beside her, nodded gently, looking as if she had learned something.

You're not thinking of luring some monster to patrol here if you're hunting later, are you...? Never mind, let's just pretend we didn't see it.

After all, we've seen Fire Sprout, Water Bloom, and Fiora ride their dragons across most of the map countless times in the game before...

Flame gave Ais a deep look, but said nothing.

"Miss Ais's performance today was dazzling."

Rafia brought a glass of juice to Ais's side, and at that moment, Tiona also came over with a grin.

"Yeah, yeah, much better than that stinky wolf. Hey, stinky wolf, can you do that again? You know, the one where you 'kick me to death!' and then not only get bounced back but your leg goes numb!"

"Watch out or I'll bite you to death, you filthy woman!"

Enraged by the blatant taunt, the werewolf went berserk. Raul, clinging to Bert's leg and screaming "Brother Bert!", desperately tried to stop the werewolf and prevent a bloody infighting among their own kind.

"What? I don't stink! You stupid wolf, you big idiot!!"

"What did you say??!"

Their eyes met, and a fierce spark seemed to ignite in the air.

Loki, always eager for a good show, egged them on, while Rivera, with a 'here we go again' expression, closed her eyes.

"Alright, everyone stop arguing. If anyone makes another sound, I'll ban them from hunting in the Blazing Flame." Finn's voice drifted over, a seemingly casual remark that struck like a nuclear bomb, instantly silencing both the werewolf and the Amazon.

There was no way around it; having personally experienced or witnessed the struggles of this world, how could those whose blood was already boiling give up their right to adventure in this world?

Even when they returned just now, Tiona and the others were eager to go hunting, deciding to come over as soon as they got their new weapons or their equipment was repaired—if there was a mission.

"As expected of Finn, he can control the situation with just a few words!"

Loki clapped in admiration, then, as if remembering something, said:

"By the way, Ais, Bert, and Flame, do you three want to update your stats later and see if you've improved in this battle?"

Loki didn't mention Riveria's name because Riveria had already reached the limit of her current level's stats a long time ago. What she lacked now was the Great Achievement required to level up, and neither her battles with the Rock Dragon nor the Sand Dragon had reached that level.

In fact, the situation is basically the same for Bert and Ais. Both of them are LV5, and they are adventurers who have almost reached the peak of their current level. It is quite difficult to improve their ability values ​​at this point.

What both of them lack is the great achievement required to level up.

"I'll pass on that. Those two monsters might help me grow a little, but not by much."

Sure enough, Bert shook his head. Putting aside the social aspect, he could vaguely sense that the experience he gained from the Rock Dragon and the Sand Dragon was not particularly substantial.

His level is too high.

The Rock Dragon and Barroth, whose weaknesses are easy to find and thus easy to defeat, are merely formidable opponents to him, but not worthy of being called great achievements.

"Okay, I need to update."

"I want to update too."

Unlike Bert, Ais and Flame readily agreed to the update. Ais always enjoyed getting Loki to update her stats, and she was always the first to update her attributes after each expedition. Flame was similar.

"Great, I'll update for you two after we've eaten!"

Chapter 58, Minotaur: ?

"Alright, that completes the update~ Aistan, congratulations, your stats have increased!"

It wasn't in another world, but in Loki's room where he usually updates his abilities.

After a short lunch break, everyone, including Flame, returned to their clan's encampment through the portal. Loki had already decided to hold a banquet at the Abundant Mistress's residence tonight to celebrate the clan's return from their expedition. The timing was perfect, and there was even time for everyone to take care of the matters that hadn't been dealt with yesterday.

For example, the weapon issues of Tiona, Tione, and Ais.

While the gods were working, Ais put on her top, blocking their peeking glances, and took the parchment Loki was writing on. Then, her gaze fell on it without hesitation.

Ais Wallenstein

LV5

Strength: D555→D570

Durability: D547→D548

Agile: A825→A830

Agility: A822→A833

Magic: A899 → S910

Hunter: F Abnormal Resistance: G Swordsman: I

"They've grown up."

Ais's eyes lit up when she saw her attributes.

Her abilities, which she had deemed to have reached their limit after the expedition, surprisingly grew even stronger after this adventure in another world.

Moreover, this growth is even greater than the experience she gained from slaying hundreds or thousands of monsters on her expedition to the 50th floor.

Especially her magic power attribute; despite this ability having stagnated at A899 for a long time without any improvement, it surprisingly broke through its limitations and reached S-rank in this battle.

In that case, wouldn't it mean that after leveling up, she might gain the [Magic] ability, which can enhance the effects of magic?

Furthermore, speaking of development capabilities, her Hunter ability, which is currently being developed, has also been upgraded by one level because of this hunt.

Is this the true value of monsters from another world...?

Ais's young mind was deeply shaken.

"In that case... that should work."

Ais clenched her fists silently, her doll-like expression vanishing, replaced by a long-held, intense will to explore something stronger.

Be stronger. Be stronger. Become even stronger with greater greed.

In order to gain greater power.

In order to reach distant heights.

To fulfill his long-cherished wish.

Looking at the girl whose eyes were burning with fire, Loki's lips curled up slightly, and then gradually widened.

"Ais, we always tell you that if you keep stumbling and running forward, you'll inevitably fall down someday, right?"

"..."

It seems to be true, right?
