Chapter 157 157 Base rewards
[OP: ]
"So? Would we go on with the rewards now?"
They didn't understand what was going on with him. They had never seen him being this much… friendly.
Even during their game runs, even after they had impressed him and won his heart to the greatest possible extent, he had not shown them this side of him.
They didn't understand what was going on with him but, if they were correct, everything was because of their actions, their familiars, and these rewards that he was so eager to see.
[ "Should we?" ]
[ "It's not like we will ever get the answers we want from this guy. Better let's just see these achievement rewards he is so excited about. Perhaps it will give us some idea." ]
[ "Hmmm… welp. It doesn't look like this is anything dangerous. It should be fine." ]
They nodded at each other, looked at the headmaster for a moment, who was still smiling, and then with a deep sigh, they glanced at their familiars.
One was uninterested in everything around him, everything was practically boring to him. It was as if all these artifacts, relics, and resources meant practically nothing to him at all.
There was nothing that interested him in this place while on the other hand the white bird that had been to the sections of books, had finished everything there in an instant and moved towards the other things.
She seemed to be interested in everything present here. From the way she was moving from one object to another after analyzing the object in a matter of seconds, it seemed clear that she intended to finish analyzing as many objects as possible present in this place before they were done here.
She was cute, El liked how she looked when she was excited. Her own dragon bastard on the other had no interest in these cool things. He had no greed like the usual dragons mostly have.
"Haaa. Ok, let's start."
Lucy nodded at her, and she nodded back. And, both of them tapped on the reward 'accept' button of the screen hovering before them.
[Ding!]
[< A large amount of experience has been bestowed for the dungeon clearance. Additional experience for defeating a being several levels above you, has been bestowed. >]
[ID: Lucifer. Level: 104 > 117.]
[ID: Auriel. Level: 105 > 111.]
Both of them were surprised by the sudden level increase. It was certainly a much greater increase than they had expected.
[< As the base reward for academic achievements, [Point chest] of the highest grade has been bestowed. >]
Then a unique chest materialized before them, that she just put away for now. It was the chest that Raz would open but since it was of the highest grade, there was now a chance that something more than points might come out.
[< As the base reward for the academic achievements, (tier-6) [Special clearance] has been granted to IDs Auriel and Lucifer. >]
After that, two unique blue metallic 'cards' materialized before them with their names on them. They were special passes that allowed them access to places that were usually not available to just anyone in this world.
[< For a unique performance in theoretical discoveries, ID: Auriel has been grated a [Mark of knowledge barrier]. Additionally, the unique title <<Synthist of rumors>> has been upgraded to [Bronze] rank. >]
[< As the base reward of the achievements, <Fifth authority> has been granted. >]
A unique broach that neither of them was expecting to see anytime soon materialized before her, and, just seeing this unique item that automatically attached itself to El's clothing, they knew why her name was not on the same list as his.
The rank increase of the title was a cherry on the chocolate cake. It was perhaps a more valuable reward than anything else.
[< For a phenomenal feat of defeating a corrupted creature more than a hundred levels higher, ID: Lucifer has been granted the title: <Corruption cleanser>. Additionally, for the positive actions towards the dungeon boss Eisheth, the title: <Merciful> has been achieved. >]
[< As the base reward of the achievements, <Fourth authority> has been granted. >]
He gained two titles at once, which was alright. Nothing special though. The Authority was guaranteed as well so that was that.
"It would be a surprise if I gained six or so titles all at once. Right El-"
[< For being the youngest one to achieve mastery of a weapon, title: <Youngest master> has been achieved. For being the youngest sword weirder who understands the true nature of the sword, the title: <Master of sword> has been achieved. For slaying the [[( Lord )]] ranked demon single-handedly, the title: <Demon slayer> has been achieved. For earning the interest of a large number of sword users of higher realms, the title: <Rising star> has been achieved. >]
[< Thanks to the large number of spectators becoming aware of the existence ID: Lucifer, a unique feat that has never been achieved has been recorded…! >]
Well… now this, was surprising.
Titles weren't some apple on the tree that one could pick out whenever they saw it. It was something much, much more precious than even some low-grade skills.
Just having one title made one a special existence among their kind but, Lucy just gained not one or two, but actually six titles.
It wasn't something that happens every day, and, from their experience, whenever something like this happens, it only means one thing…
[< You have slain a demon of higher rank and level with countless spectators watching with your unique sword. >]
[< You have freed your enemy from their eternal misery with countless spectators watching with your unique sword. >]
[< You have slayed a corruption that had entered its second phase with countless spectators watching with your unique sword. >]
[< You have achieved mastery in the sword in the battle of life and death with countless spectators watching with your unique sword. >]
[< You have won the hearts and approval of several beings with countless spectators watching with your unique sword. >]
[< Your performance resonates with many heroic 'epics' and 'myths' where the protagonist slays a being far more powerful than them with a sword. Your bound artifact [Dawn's afterglow] has been attached to the minds and hearts of countless people of the worldline. >]
[< Rumors about a swordmaster with a white, golden-edged sword that can stop time, slay demons, obliterate corruptions, and use the power of [Origin] has started spreading in many areas of the worldline. >]
[< As proof of the rumors, countless people have watched your gallant battle of the best possible quality and transparency on the Worldline platform, [WL net] and have started talking about it on multiple platforms. >]
[< Your stream has become the most watched, liked, shared, and talked content in the current time. The traffic of interested personnel has resulted in the collapse of many platforms simultaneously…! >]
A phenomenon they had already seen a while back graced them once again.
"Congrats Lucy bastard…"
The ceiling of this place glowed with a unique gold-purple light, a unique hymn started playing all around them, Cary and Anna were alerted so they looked up and, there was a purple box materializing before their Lucifer.
[< ID: Lucifer has gained a special status in the Worldline as the only person to ever cause a global sensation in most parts of the Worldline with his heroic video and special sword, his achievements that earned the approval of countless beings of lower and higher status, and his soul chilling performance in slaying of the wretched corrupted being. Thus, the exclusive title: <<Swordmaster with the viral white sword>> has been earned. >]
[< ID: Lucifer has become a special observation target for many elements holding core Authority, thus requirements for interfering with situations directly related to him have been recreated. >]
[< As the base reward of the achievements, <Fifth authority> has been granted. >]
[< As the total reward of the specific achievements, innate skill: [Multimedia streamer] has been granted. >]
[< Thanks to the special nature of the achievement, the anonymity of the ID: Lucifer will be maintained and the existence of <<Swordmaster with the viral white sword>> will be announced in all the areas that know their existence. >]
"Swordmaster with the viral white sword… hmmm… it sounds simpler than my synthist of rumors. Mine particularly focuses on the uniqueness of the achievement while yours is born from mine and Raz's efforts to make the stream so good.
Well… it blew up on its own so perhaps it was your godly luck that made this happen.
My lucky Lucy bastard."
He got his own unique title as well, though unexpectedly.
Even he didn't know just what had happened with that stream and how it became so popular that he gained an exclusive title for it but, he was excited he obtained this.
[ "We can push back that couple title now, right?" ]
[ "…nope." ]
[ "Please El. We have these two as well now. Let's just start with the team gathering." ]
She looked right into his eyes and saw the determination that was visible in them.
He really wanted them to start with the main plan instead of playing around and doing something that had less chance of happening than their surefire chaotic heists.
[ "Gimme a wish." ]
[ "…ok." ]
The price wasn't cheap but it wasn't too great before what he had in mind. He didn't mind one wish if they could become stronger as well as get more [Authorities] by doing what they were going to do from now on.
[< Total reward will be bestowed from now. >]
What they had already received right now was more than what one could gain even after years of work and trials.
But they had died more than once in that dungeon so these many rewards were obviously what they should get, they were less valuable compared to their lives anyway.
They knew that, so…
Before they put themselves into a similar, perhaps even greater kind of risk, it was better to have a proper party that was at least as reliable as their Eva.
If they do it alongside all of them… the chances of them getting out of it less hurt might increase by a bit.
[Ding!]
So, perhaps after this day is completely over and dawn greets them, they will get on with actual important work.
