Tower of Babel, Square.

When night fell, the magic stone lampposts around the square had been turned on one by one, allowing the magic stone lamps to emit a bright light, illuminating the entire chalky giant tower with a cloud of masters.

Ace walked out of the tower, her dazzling blonde hair was not messy, but there were traces of dirt everywhere on her body.

However, even so, the girl still attracted countless eyes and became the focus of the audience.

"Look! It's Kenhime! ”

"The one from the Loki family?"

"It's still as beautiful as ever, not inferior to the goddesses at all."

"She looks like she's just returned from the dungeon, right?"

"It's really hard work, it's clear that the Loki clan just came back from an expedition not long ago, and they still drill the dungeon every day."

"Obviously it's already Lv.5, and she's still the first female swordsman in Olarie......"

"If only I could become a first-level adventurer."

"How easy is that?"

In the midst of some discussions, the eyes with all kinds of emotions focused on Ace's body, some full of amazement, some full of admiration, some full of envy, and some full of jealousy.

As one of the most famous people in Olarie, Ace, the cadre of the Loki family, is destined to be so eye-catching wherever she goes, not to mention that she also has a beauty comparable to that of a beauty goddess.

Ace is used to this, or she doesn't care about it for a long time.

The girl just lowered her head slightly and walked in the crowd, thinking about something else.

Or rather, she was thinking about her own business.

Eyes swept over her back slightly, and Ace's first thought was about today's battle, and the results she had achieved after the same battle yesterday.

......

Ace Wallenstein

Lv.5

Power: D535 → D536

Durable: D531 → D532

Ambidextrous: A813

Dexterity: A810

Magic: A888

Hunter: G

Ailment Resistance: G

Swordsman: I

......

This is the latest information Ace got yesterday when she updated her stats from Loki.

If this information leaks out, many people in Olarieri will be amazed, right?

Both "Strength" and "Durability" have reached Stage D.

"Dexterity", "Agility", and "Magic" have all reached Stage A.

Even the development ability that can only be obtained when upgrading, Ace has a full three, although the level is not high, but compared to the situation of upgrading and not obtaining any development ability, this achievement can also be called excellent, at least enough to be enviable.

To put it bluntly, Ace's score is already the highest level in Lv.5.

In Olarie, and even in the world, there may not be many existences at the level of Lv.5 that can have a higher ability value than the current Ace.

However, when she thought of her own ability, Ace's heart was filled with a slight haze.

"It's too slow......"

That's what the girl was thinking.

In the past few days, Ace has been trying to explore the dungeon, and she still goes deep into the level that is difficult for ordinary adventurers to reach.

The floors she arrives at are at least 20 floors and below, and every day she faces at least monsters classified as Lv.3 by the guild.

Ace was on that floor, in that kind of monster group, hacking and killing an unknown number of monsters every day, from the dawn before dawn to the night after dark, and she made herself into a mess.

But it's obviously just such a hard work, and after a few days, in the end, only the lower "strength" and "durability" have increased by 1 point respectively, and the rest of the abilities haven't even moved, making Ace's mood have been terrible since last night.

When the main god saw the girl's appearance, he said a little more.

"I said, Escarbon, you're already very good like this, you're already Lv.5, and you can still grow in a few days exploring the level of monsters far below your own, which is definitely not possible if you change to someone else."

The main god opened his usual squinted eyes, and looked at Ace with a rare serious gaze, and said so.

"What kid who has reached your level hasn't struggled for years or even decades to achieve such results?"

"It's only been three years since you were promoted to Lv.5, and in three years, you can raise your ability value to the top of Lv.5, and this potential is the highest in our family, even Finn and Grace didn't grow as fast as you did when they were at Lv.5."

"We hope that you can get stronger and better, but there must be a limit to everything, even we (the gods) will not ask you (children) to become heroes overnight, right?"

"You're already running fast, and if you're going to go any faster, you're going to fall."

"So, sometimes you have to know how to do it in moderation, you know?"

The heartfelt persuasion of the Lord God is still vivid in her mind, echoing in Ace's heart.

But Ace was still not satisfied with the pace of her growth.

It's been more than three years since she rose to Lv.5, and Ace knows that she's already delivered a score worthy of the gods' praise at this level.

But recently, the growth of the ability value is minimal, which makes Ace feel a little urgent.

Like now, trying to crusade against monsters in the dungeon and fighting for a few days, the overall increase in ability value is only 2 points, how can this make Ace happy?

It was the same a while ago.,Obviously, with the clan on an expedition.,Fought in the super deep layer below the 50th floor for about two weeks.,During this time, I cut down I don't know how many monsters were classified as Lv.4 or even higher.,But in the end,Ace's growth,It's only a total of a dozen points of proficiency improvement.。

It's too slow.

It was so slow that Ace was dissatisfied.

It was so slow that Ace's heart was filled with gloom.

Especially when she saw someone growing at a rate that could be called a foul, Ace was not only dissatisfied in her heart, but even anxious and anxious.

If you continue like this, when will you become strong enough?

"[The Fool's Obsession]..... Is it? ”

Ace remembered the unheard of and unseen skill, and her heart was full of distracting thoughts.

Skills that can accelerate growth and increase the upper limit of potential.

Why doesn't she have such skills?

“...... What kind of obsession can make that skill appear? ”

The ability to be discovered based on the grace of God, whether magical or skillful, is related to the nature or interest of the individual.

In other words, it is the crystallization of longing, the fruit of fantasy.

It sounds like a miracle that can turn fantasy into a phenomenon, but it's not.

In this world, there are almost all kinds of people who want to become stronger quickly, but none of them have awakened this kind of foul skill that can accelerate growth and improve potential.

If you can have it if you think about it, why don't you have it?

If you want to become stronger, will you lose to others?

Therefore, if you want to have a skill like [Fool's Obsession], it is definitely not enough to just fantasize.

The more exaggerated the skill, the more amazing the skill, the more it tests the heart and essence of the person, and only when this part of the heart and essence is recognized and strong enough, then the ability to turn into substance can appear in grace.

So———

"What kind of obsession made him awaken such a skill......?"

Ace pondered over this question, and her mind was full of the face of the man who seemed to be calm and calm, but in fact had sharp and passionate eyes in his eyes.

Ace Wallenstein was hungry for power.

Incomparably thirsty.

Because, she has a sad wish and a grudge.

To do this, she must become stronger as soon as possible.

With this sad wish and this obsession, the girl is still pursuing the secret and path of becoming stronger today.

However, just as Ace was about to walk out of the square and into the main street, she noticed some commotion.

"Hurry up and ...... guild!"

"This must be reported to ......!"

"Something's wrong! Something is wrong! ”

"There is an anomaly on the 6th floor, and there are already adventurers who have suffered casualties ......!"

A group of adventurers, apparently fresh from the dungeon, were noisy on the road, and the frightened appearance and blood stains on their bodies made Ace stop.

"An anomaly?"

Hearing this term, which was the most unsettling term for adventurers in the past, Ace frowned slightly.

Especially the latter words, which made Ace feel more concerned.

"Someone has seen a male human swordsman fighting an unknown monster, and a young sorcerer from the elven clan next to ......?"

Unfortunately, Ace knew that there was such a combination.

A combination that just appeared today, which surprised Ace.

That's what Ace found out when she went out in the morning and happened to hear the members of the family discussing it.

"Could it be Rige and Refia?"

Ace felt a little uneasy.

In the upper tier, which is usually a group of three, will there be a second team of human swordsmen and elven magicians?

Ace doesn't think so.

"6th Floor ......"

With a mutter, Ace turned around and began to run.

Target, Tower of Babel.

......

Dungeon, 6th floor.

As soon as she entered this place, the uneasiness in Ace's heart turned into reality.

There is no other reason.

I saw that in this floor, which in the past only rookie adventurers would explore, Ace saw the corpses of many adventurers who had fallen to the ground, had lost their lives, were well-equipped, and were obviously strong, and should be able to break through in the deeper floors.

Their deaths were horrific, some of them were disemboweled, some were only stumps and severed remains, and the scarlet blood stained the ground and walls, making Ace feel deeply uncomfortable.

And this also tells Ace that there is really an abnormal situation here, and a powerful monster has appeared.

The figure of the human man and the descendants of the family who had a good relationship with him falling in a pool of blood flashed in his mind, and Ace shook his head vigorously and shook it off, but the speed was unconsciously raised.

"Is it over here?"

It wasn't long before Ace noticed a loud noise, like something fighting.

So, Ace hurried over.

It didn't take long for Ace to arrive at the battlefield.

Then, she saw the familiar figure of the junior.

"Refia!"

Ace screamed unconsciously.

However, in the past, the juniors who would be moved and happy when they heard their own shouts would just look ahead.

Ace followed the prestige, and then lost her voice as well.

"Roar!"

The giant body characteristic of the large species appeared in the narrow passage, emitting a deafening cry.

There was anger, ferocity, rage, hysteria, and finally a hint of fear.

Ace saw a huge monster that she had never seen before, roaring in pain.

In front of it, a bloodied figure was charging, galloping.
