"Big sis, can I learn it too?"
"Of course."
Since Meteria wanted to learn it,
as her older sister, Alfia naturally had no reason to refuse.
That said, the move Afterglow wasn't something just anyone could pick up.
It wasn't the kind of technique you could master just by trying.
Then an idea struck Raven, and he said,
"How about this—when the time comes, I'll call Alise, Kaguya, and Aditi over too. We can all learn it together."
"Let's see who picks it up first."
If there was a technique to get stronger, of course he wanted everyone to learn it.
And if they all mastered it…
Wouldn't their combat power skyrocket?
"You're planning to do that after you level up?" Alfia caught his intention.
"Exactly."
"Once I reach Level 3…"
"Summoning Alise, Kaguya, Aditi, and the others won't consume any mental energy."
At that moment, a flicker of anticipation lit up in Raven's eyes.
He was looking forward to seeing who else he could summon after evolving to Level 4.
"Sounds good."
Alfia had no problem letting former members of the Justice Familia join the training.
…
The three of them were now strolling through a wide corridor.
All around them stood towering trees.
Countless branches intertwined to form an intricate maze of natural passageways.
This floor, steeped in the scent of plants, was also filled with fragrant flowers meant to confuse adventurers.
Aside from the mossy bark and vines, the area was dotted with all kinds of herbs.
Many of these plants glowed in strange hues—rare medicinal herbs, no doubt.
At some turns, Raven could even spot clusters of giant mushrooms.
If brought back to the surface,
these plants would serve as valuable ingredients for potions and other tools.
In short—
The Great Tree Labyrinth was a paradise for alchemists, overflowing with harvestable materials.
Raven paused and closed his eyes briefly.
Suddenly, his perception-type skill triggered, and his gaze snapped forward.
"They're coming."
"Rampaging Beetles and Sniper Dragonflies."
"Total: six targets."
With that, he exchanged a quick glance with Meteria.
"—Flame Lightning."
"—Flame Lightning."
"—Flame Lightning."
Meteria unleashed a rapid triple-cast, instantly turning one airborne dragonfly to ash.
"—Gospel."
With just one sonic blast,
Raven's terrifying shockwave wiped out the remaining five monsters in an instant.
As expected of Alfia, the cheat-tier woman—her magic was just too effective.
Raven felt that even the residual shockwaves alone had enough power to destroy a high-tier adventurer.
Not to mention—
It was ultra-short chant magic.
Fast activation. Long range.
Good thing…
Silent's magic was now his magic too.
If he could continue summoning people like Alfia with built-in cheat skills…
It would be heaven on earth.
"More monsters incoming," Raven said. "Twelve this time."
The Sniper Dragonflies fired a barrage of bullets from their abdomens, aiming directly at him.
Raven didn't even flinch.
Magic Shield.
Automatically reflects any magical damage received—
at double the strength.
Range, speed, power—all doubled.
BOOM.
The rebounding bullets obliterated the dragonflies instantly.
"—Flame Lightning!"
Meteria kept launching barrage after barrage, blowing incoming monsters to pieces.
Through the True Eye of Data, Raven focused on the glowing blue holographic screen in front of him.
MP. EXP +50
MP. EXP +48
MP. EXP +51
Each time Meteria took down a Level 2 monster, her magic stat rose significantly.
By the end of this wave—
Her total EXP had increased by over 400 points.
Running low on mana or stamina?
No problem. Raven supplied her directly through his own Magic Transfer.
"—RRAAAHHHH!!"
A Berg Bear charged at him, roaring and swinging its claws.
Raven slashed with his magic spear, drawing a clean semicircle in the air.
A flash of light—
The monster's head was severed instantly, like slicing through paper.
BOOM.
The Berg Bear turned to ash, leaving behind a magic stone.
Once the enemy wave was cleared—
"Meteria, that's enough."
"Your magic stat is maxed out."
Raven smiled faintly as he looked at the data screen.
Her skill Devoted Heart, combined with Raven's own Outer Golem skill—
Created a double passive effect that caused all EXP gains to multiply.
Which meant:
She could now be upgraded to Level 2.
As for the whole Heroic Feat requirement?
That only applied to adventurers.
What did that have to do with Raven's Summon Magic?
Exactly—
The people summoned by his magic didn't need a feat to level up.
Once their stats were fully trained, Raven could raise their level himself.
Name: Meteria
Level: Lv.1
Stats: STR/S999, END/S999, DEX/S999, AGI/S999, MAG/S999
Development Abilities: None
Magic: Flame Lightning, Spatial Shift
Skills: Devoted Heart, Gentle Soul
Familia: Hera
That was the latest Falna data as shown by the Eye of Data.
