Because in the next second.
That tension quickly dissipated, replaced by an even more complete state of relaxation.
"Satisfied now?"
"Mm..."
This time, the sound Kirukiru Amou made was clearly calmer, carrying a satisfied hum.
Heimdall shook his head helplessly.
What a mess.
However.
He didn't waste any more time.
Heimdall again extended his finger, which was still seeping blood.
He aimed for the very center of Kirukiru Amou's spine.
That small area, the palest and most sensitive.
"Drip."
The ichor fell softly.
The moment it touched Kirukiru Amou's skin.
A red light.
Suddenly flared up.
The sacred script originally hidden beneath the girl's skin seemed to come alive all at once.
Centering on that drop of ichor, it rapidly spread and radiated in all directions.
Complex patterns shifted and reorganized across her pale back.
...
A moment later.
When the light stabilized.
The previously chaotic patterns finally solidified into rows of clearly legible sacred script.
Heimdall's gaze quickly swept over the sacred script.
Although he already knew from Tsubaki what Kirukiru Amou had been doing in the Dungeon.
But seeing Kirukiru Amou's experiences truly transformed into more intuitive sacred script.
Heimdall still couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
—
Name: Kirukiru Amou.
Lv.1.
Strength: F388 → SS1098.
Endurance: F365 → SS1081.
dexterity: F310 → SS1017.
agility: F315 → SS1011.
Magic: I0 → I0.
— —
"..."
Except for the fact that she couldn't use magic, which kept the [Magic] column frozen at I0.
The other stats...
— — were all going wild.
Not only did they all break through the S (900-999) limit.
They had soared straight past it, reaching the legendary SS (1000-1099) stage!
You have to understand.
In the common knowledge of Orario.
Even for those Adventurers known as [Geniuses], like the one hailed as the [Sword Princess], Ais Wallenstein.
At Lv.1, having all stats reach S would be considered extremely perfect.
Most people would be overjoyed to have A or B before leveling up.
After all, it gets harder to train the further you go.
Every point gained requires a huge price.
Want to break through S to reach SS?
Those in the history of the lower world who have achieved this are few and far between.
Only the White Rabbit and Alfia have achieved an SS rating, and the White Rabbit had almost all abilities reach SS or even SSS rating before every level up.
This is a miracle that could only possibly happen to a very select few.
Now.
It had appeared just like that on the back of Kirukiru Amou.
Not to mention...
This was in just two days for Kirukiru Amou!
In two days, she went straight from I to S, or even SS!
...
Even though Heimdall hadn't seen Kirukiru Amou's performance in the Dungeon with his own eyes.
But having heard Tsubaki Cobrand vividly describe her encounters in the Dungeon, he already had a certain impression in his mind.
Like using Killer Ant fluids to attract swarms of Killer Ants.
Or slaughtering Almiraj on the 13th floor to trigger a Monster Party.
Kirukiru Amou was truly pushing her skills to the limit.
Trading pain for growth.
Watering her strength with blood.
Kirukiru Amou was treating the Dungeon like a buffet, and those monsters as feed to fill the void in her heart.
Repeatedly dancing on the edge of life and death, a madman's behavior of not valuing her own life—this was what earned such terrifying gains.
So much so that...
In just two short days, she could elevate her level to Lv.2, breaking the world record for the fastest level up held by the Sword Princess, Ais Wallenstein, which took a year.
— — From Lv.1 to Lv.2.
— — Condensed from one year to two days.
Truly a terrifying growth rate.
"Phew..."
Thinking of this, Heimdall couldn't help but take a deep breath, then pulled out a piece of parchment.
He copied down the status that had appeared on Kirukiru Amou's back.
...
"All right."
Heimdall said, handing the still-warm parchment to Kirukiru Amou.
Kirukiru Amou couldn't be bothered to put on clothes at this moment.
She didn't even make a move to cover her chest.
She sprang up from the sofa.
Bare-chested.
Her long hair draped over her chest.
Those pitch-black eyes were locked tightly onto the contents of the paper.
Her gaze scanned it frantically.
"S..."
