Chapter 715 The Loki Familia Almost Became the Joker – The Wrath Skill Event
With a substantial gain of nearly four million Fali in her heart, the blonde girl stepped into the Twilight Mansion, the residence of her clan. As soon as she entered, she saw the elven girl Lefia running towards her with slightly red eyes and a pitiful expression on her face.
"Lefia, what's wrong? Did someone bully you?"
Ais instinctively stopped in her tracks, her tone tinged with concern.
"Nobody bullied her. If anyone did, it's probably you, Ais, right?"
Tiona, who had followed along, held the back of her head and said something from the side.
"Miss Ais, where did you go today?"
Lefia's voice was clearly choked with sobs, her soft, sweet voice tinged with a hint of grievance.
"I'm going to find Mr. Broly to team up for a dungeon run."
Ais tilted her head, not understanding how she had become the person Diona accused of bullying Lefia, but she still answered the elf girl's question truthfully.
This answer was exactly what Lefia had expected. What the elven girl really wanted to ask was, "Miss Ais, why didn't you invite me to come along?"
"Without any agreement or reason, who are you, and why should I call you?"
If it were Bert the werewolf, he would probably say something like that.
"I'm sorry, Lefia. I thought you were too tired from training these days and needed to get plenty of rest, so I didn't want to bother you."
But when it was Ais, the swordswoman apologized.
"I'm sorry, I forgot that you, Lefia, also wanted to become stronger and wanted to train with Mr. Broly. Today, I had him all to myself—"
Judging others by one's own standards, the somewhat naive Ais felt that she understood everything. She believed that the elf girl also wanted to be trained to become stronger, which was why she was angry with her for not inviting Broly to her extra training session.
"I'm sorry, Lefia, I underestimated your desire to become stronger. It's understandable that you're angry with me now."
The swordswoman sincerely apologized to the elf girl.
Lefia: "————"
Although she also wanted to become stronger and not hold her companions back, that wasn't the reason she was angry at all.
"Uh, Ais, I don't think Lefia's anger has anything to do with this."
Tiona had a keen intuition and could sense why the elven girl was angry.
"Yes, Lefia is probably just angry that you didn't take her out to play."
Tiony added from the side.
"Is that so?"
A hint of confusion flashed in Ais's eyes as she turned to look at the elven girl.
"Ah, I'm not angry about that. It's just that, if possible, I hope to grow stronger together with Miss Ais."
The elven girl blushed. In this situation, she really couldn't say something like, "I just want to stay by Miss Ais's side," something that sounds like a child pleading with an adult.
"Okay, then let's get stronger together. Tomorrow we'll go find Mr. Broly and go to the dungeon for training."
Ais looked at the elven girl with gentle eyes and nodded.
"Waaah————"
Lefia wanted to say something, but didn't know how. Rather than seeking training from Saiyan boys of the Hestia Familia, she actually preferred to train alone with Miss Ais.
"Ais, you're back. How was your training with Broly today? What did you learn?"
The captain and Grace and the others had just returned from training at the training ground. When they saw the swordswoman girl, they came over to ask her about her.
"Today was very fruitful."
Ais answered concisely, with a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth.
"Ais, is she smiling?"
The girl's expression left those around her completely stunned.
In fact, besides the title of Sword Princess, Ais also has another nickname—Doll Girl.
Her delicate face was always expressionless, making her look like someone who wasn't really alive, hence the nickname.
Therefore, when she now shows a smile, it makes those who know her feel quite unfamiliar, and even as if she has some kind of laughing disorder.
"Mr. Broly said today that my emotions will affect my swordsmanship, and that I need to learn to control my emotions. He told me to express my inner emotions more through facial expressions."
Seeing that everyone looked like they'd seen a ghost, Ais offered an explanation.
"Was my smile a little fake?"
She raised her hand and touched her face, wondering if there was something wrong with her smile.
"Would this be better?"
The girl touched the corners of her mouth with her two index fingers to make the curve of her lips appear larger.
【Aww—Ais (Miss) is so cute!】
This was the first thought that came to everyone's mind after seeing the swordswoman's hand gesture of smiling.
[Mr. Broly, how did you manage to turn Ais into this?!]
This was the second thought that came to some people: compared to the delicate doll-like girl before, Ais's hand gesture and smile at this moment, although somewhat comical, were closer to that of a normal person.
"Ahem, it's good that we've gained something."
Finn nodded, satisfied with the humanized changes made to the swordswoman.
"Captain, I'd like to ask you and Grace to help me test my gains—"
Ais spoke to the dwarf leader as he was about to leave.
"Wait, does this mean you want to spar with me?"
Finn looked over curiously.
"Um."
The swordswoman nodded in agreement.
"It seems you've had a very fruitful day, actually daring to spar with me and Finn."
Grace agreed after saying a word and led the swordswoman to the training ground.
"I'll go first."
The short, strong man volunteered to be the first sparring partner.
Then, as he prepared to spar, he saw the swordswoman opposite him shake her head and say, "Not enough."
"What's not enough?"
Grace looked over, somewhat puzzled.
"We also need the captain and Riveria together."
Ais then looked at the elves and dwarves beside her and said.
"Ah, Ais, are you planning to challenge the captain and his two companions all by yourself?"
Tiona and the others who had also come to watch the match all showed expressions of surprise.
I don't understand what kind of gain gave Ais the confidence to fight three first-level adventurers at the same time.
"I'm not sure how much I've gained today, and besides, I'm not sure if this gain will drive me into a state of rage—"
Ais's answer made Finn frown.
"Ais, what do you mean by 'going berserk'?"
Finn pressed for an answer.
"Mr. Broly has a skill similar to the captain's berserk magic. He said I should also share this skill with him, so I want to try it out."
However, I'm worried about things going wrong if I go berserk, so I'll need the help of the captain, Mr. Grace, and Riveria to stop me if I do.
Ais explained.
"So that's how it is."
Finn nodded.
"Wait, that skill... it actually shares the effects of other skills?"
Grace was somewhat surprised.
"If that's what they said, then it must be true."
Riveria said something.
"Ais, what do you mean you shared his skills?"
Tiona asked, somewhat puzzled, and Tione, who was standing next to her, also looked over.
These two sisters were completely unaware of the temporary skill, "Invisible Wings."
"Well, it's okay to tell you two, but I hope you won't spread it around."
Finn said.
"It's all so mysterious, but no problem, Commander, my mouth is sealed tight."
Tiona muttered something to herself and immediately gave her opinion.
"The leader wants to share a personal secret with me, of course I'd rather die than tell anyone!"
Tiony, being a love-struck fool, also clearly expressed her attitude.
"That's not the case. Besides, it's not my secret, it's Broly's secret."
Finn corrected the girl's mistake, coughed twice, and then brought up the matter of the temporary skill [Invisible Wings].
"So that's how it is. No wonder you told us to go to the dungeon with Broly before, Commander!"
"It wasn't me who gave it up, it was Loki. She wanted each of us to have this temporary ability."
"Unfortunately, apart from Ais and Lefia, no one else has been able to obtain the [Invisible Wings] temporary skill, which can break through the limit of ability value, from Broly."
"Commander, didn't you discuss this with Mr. Broly?"
Tiony asked curiously.
"We've discussed it, and we'll invite him over for dinner at our clan's residence. However, unfortunately, this ability of his isn't something that can be given to just anyone."
"Then why can Ais and Lefia do it?"
Tiona asked curiously.
That's because—
Grace was interrupted by a cough from the side before she could finish speaking.
"Alright, let's get down to business and test our skills."
Finn said something and then gestured with his eyes to the dwarf who was looking at him with a puzzled expression, and then to look at Lefia beside him.
The dwarf looked over and immediately understood.
Although Lefia wasn't the kind of elf with a high degree of germaphobia, if she knew that the Saiyan boy was juggling multiple relationships and wanted to meet both her and her beloved senior Ais at the same time, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause.
Lefia herself could refuse Broly's advances, but as for Ais, given the effect of the Invisible Wings skill, and based on Grace's understanding of the girl he'd watched grow up, it's obvious that the girl wouldn't care about boys and would want multiple encounters with herself and others.
"Yes, let's get down to business."
Tiona was brushed off.
"Ais, we're ready. You can begin."
"Um."
Ais nodded and stood facing the three of them.
The trigger condition is extreme anger.
Ais said to herself, and began to recall the past that had caused her pain and filled her with intense hatred.
"ah----"
The girl let out a low growl, but she entered a state of extreme rage at an extremely fast speed.
It has to be said that simple-minded, naturally naive individuals always have a talent for getting into character and acting out their own emotions.
"Damn it—a monster?!"
The swordswoman raised her head, her golden eyes seemingly burning, instantly extinguishing her reason.
The girl moved and rushed towards the three people in front of her, who had transformed into some kind of dragon-like monster in her eyes.
The moment the ground beneath her feet cracked open, the girl's figure appeared before Finn.
"So fast?!"
The brave man's eyes widened, and he only had time to parry the spear in his hand in front of him.
The next moment, he was kicked away.
"Finn?!"
Nine Demon Princess exclaimed in surprise.
"Don't get distracted, Riveria!"
Then she heard the dwarf's words.
"Bang!"
Grace stood in front of the female elf, his legs already carving two furrows in the ground. The heavy force from the shield in his hands almost made him think he was facing a frontal attack from Udeus, the 37th floor master of the dungeon—the first floor master was enormous, and in terms of pure strength, he far surpassed adventurers of the same level.
But this was not the floor owner's attack, but only Ais's attack.
"Ah~~"
Ais, whose attack was blocked, paused only slightly before frantically swinging her fists at the shield blocking her way.
The wooden shield used for training began to crack after only a few blows. As wood chips flew everywhere, it was actually smashed to pieces by the swordswoman's bare fists.
Finn arrived in time to defend, and Riveria also prepared her magic, but it was useless. Ais, who had activated her Rage skill, was now a numerical monster. Although she had no rationality, she still gave the two of them a good experience of being crushed by numbers.
Riveria's magic was dodged, Finn's wooden spear was kicked in half, and he was also kicked in the abdomen by the swordswoman. He was sent flying like an arrow. It was only because Tione rushed over in time to catch him and act as a cushion for him that he was shot through the air. Otherwise, he might have rolled on the ground several times and been injured.
"No, Ais is too strong, come and help!"
Grace seized the opportunity to grab the girl with both arms, but she quickly pushed him away. He then called out to Tiona.
The Amazon girl rushed over to help, trying to subdue the irrational Ais with Grace, but the swordswoman managed to break free from their embrace.
The numerical bonus after activating the Rage skill clearly exceeded the girl's original estimate. Sword Maiden Ais Wallenstein, now please call her Little Saiyan.
The commotion at the training ground quickly spread, triggering unrest throughout the entire Loki Familia.
When Ais regained consciousness, she found herself lying in her room on her bed.
"Ais, you're awake?"
Loki sat by the bed, seemingly taking care of her.
"Loki, how did I get here?"
Ais asked, puzzled.
"Don't you remember?"
"Uh, right, I was testing Mr. Broly's Rage skill, and then, it seemed like a monster appeared, and then, I—"
Ais raised her hand to cover her forehead, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly, but she couldn't recall anything after that.
"Let me tell you, you became incredibly powerful after using Broly's skills. Even with Finn, Grace, and Riveria working together, they couldn't subdue you at all."
. . .
Then Tiona, Tione, and Bert joined in, and you beat them up too. Finally, I sneaked up behind you and sealed the Divine Grace ability panel, which finally calmed you down.
After saying this, Loki rubbed his stomach and continued, "For this, I even got kicked by you. If Tiona hadn't been holding onto your leg, I might have been kicked back to Heaven."
Ah, what outrageous skill did that Broly kid share with you that's even more terrifying than getting you drunk?
That was close. Our clan really became clowns, wiped out by our own clan members using their skills, and even killed our clan's chief god. This would probably be the most ridiculous way for a clan to disband and for a god to die.
If that were to actually happen, I, the god of clowns, would probably become a laughingstock for the other gods forever.
Ais looked at her goddess, whose face showed lingering fear and the expression of someone who had almost become the Ugly Duckling of Gotham, and immediately lowered her head to apologize: "Lord Loki, I'm sorry."
"Well, well, it's not your fault, Ais. Who knew that the skill Broly shared with you would have such an outrageous effect?!"
"Mr. Broly explained the effects of his Rage skill and warned me that I should avoid using it."
Upon hearing this, the swordswoman couldn't help but speak up in defense of the boy.
"Huh, so now they're siding with the other side?"
Loki looked sad, and Ais looked over with some confusion, not quite understanding what the god meant.
But before she could ask the gods, the door was pushed open.
"Alright, Loki, don't blame Ais too much. The child didn't do it on purpose; it was the three of us who were too careless."
Riveria strode in and addressed the clown god, who was posing before the sword maiden by the bedside, taking responsibility for the commotion that had occurred that evening.
"Oh dear, is the guardian mom taking her side too?!"
Loki let out a strange cry and gave up his spot in front of the bed to the dwarf leader, the dwarf, and the elf.
"Ais, what happened at the training ground this evening is not your fault. All the injured have received proper medical treatment. No one has been disabled or died as a result."
Finn didn't beat around the bush and directly stated that the matter wasn't serious.
"However, the skill that Broly shared with you is far too dangerous."
In the future, unless absolutely necessary, Ais, you should never use this lightly.
After Finn finished speaking, Riveria took over and gave the girl some instructions.
"After using that skill, Ais, you were like someone who was drunk, or even more terrifying."
Grace added from the side.
"If it weren't for the medicine, you would probably be seriously injured right now."
"Okay, I understand. I won't use that skill unless absolutely necessary."
Ais nodded seriously in response.
"Although the skill has some significant side effects, it is still a very powerful trump card."
I just don't know if I can train it to become like my berserk magic.
From an irrational and uncontrollable situation, it gradually transforms into a controlled situation.
Finn expressed his expectations.
Upon hearing this, the swordswoman girl also felt a sense of anticipation.
