Storm I: DanMachi - Chapter 20

During the time Silver was learning about the dungeon from Rose, he also created a spell called “Reset”. As the name suggests, it’s a spell used on someone to permanently reset and remove any anomaly. An example of anomaly is a skill or an ability, racial or bloodline or not, will reset back to zero like: “physical abilities and magic power increases over time with super buffs like resistance to all negative effects, incredible properties, a human whose magic is permanently spirit magic without even possessing bloodline of a spirit, all the while boosting the negative effect of the said ability or skill by a thousand times and permanently destroys a person’s dragon core without any dragon lineage. This skill is not negative effect or debuff, but a blessing instead as it grants eternal youth in return, though in a 10-year old child’s body.”.

The reason why he created this is because he never liked people who cheats their way. He might be hypocrite, but he does not go too far and too low as to go and copy other’s magic in order to get more stronger magic. He also despises people who have magic that they consider as useless as there’s no way that magic itself is useless. Those who copies have no creativeness, those who says the magic they have is useless, is useless themselves.

He also hates those manipulative bastards like the fanfic he read before which is full of bullshit and cheating along with manipulating. For him, they are weak as fuċk as they rely on a lot of things rather than rely on themselves, which causes them to cheat their way rather than earn it.

He also met a person named Dox who have a cheat ability of gaining strength over time, and he practically gave him his blessing, forcefully stopping his skill to work and granting him an eternal youth with a 10-year old body.

This spell is perfect. So perfect that if a person has defense or immunity for blessings, means that they can’t use buff or skills like their physical and magical abilities increases overtime. Also, even if the person have one, this spell replaces the immunity skill with a skill named Reset on their status board, forcing them to get stronger without cheating.

Silver never really activated his skills as they were all passive and there’s no need to activate them. Aside from that, his status increases way more slower now, and Development Abilities are way more harder to rause rather than the Basic Abilities. So technically, he doesn’t cheat.

Cheaters Never Wins

Gods are also cheaters. No, not the gods in this world, but the gods on a higher plane, except the Christ. Why? It’s because they are already strong right on the day they were born! Those who doesn’t cheat rises through from below.

He also developed a spell- no, more like he recreated it for the purpose of dealing powerful attack using magic. That magic spell is called「Mega Flare」, a powerful non-element or neutral element, true magic that completely ignores defense and deals 100 times the damage on dragons or anyone with dragon core or dragon heart, basically any part of a dragon.

Silver is an exemption and will not receive 100 times from this spell as those dragons exists in his「Reality Marble」which is technically not a part of the soul, but the projection of the reality of the soul itself. Like Shirou’s Reality Marble which is a barren land full of swords stabbed in the ground which signifies that all the battles he fought for is nothing but a waste, a barren land along with the weapons of the lost lives.

——————————–

Right now, Silver was now on Floor 6 and monsters are quickly killed before they could even come close or even react by using his lightning magic spell called「Zap」which is chantless but pack a punch depending on how much he put mana on it. Because of his skill retricting his physical abilities to be fixed on 0 value, his magic already reached level 4 at which he also trained his body in normal way without falna to compensate for his magic.

And now, he was clearing a bunch of Frog Shooters and War Shadows on 6th floor, which is very easy considering be can rapid fire it like bullets and even faster if he wants to. Also, he never really used Zap at its full potention which could destroy a pantry on 24th floor in one shoot, killing about thousands of monsters in once shot at a speed of more than half the speed of light, slightly faster than natural lighting strike.

On the way down as he goes further, he met Ottar and launched a full-powered, concentrated Zap spell. And when it hit, the poor level 6 was paralyzed.

Silver walked in front of Ottar and said, “I think I should have increased the output by 10 times more.” And then he left the Boaz paralyzed there since he won’t die just like that. If he did die, then he’s just another pathetic idiot who placed his loyalty on someone blindly.

“YOU!!!”

Ottar’s PL: 4,199→6,298.5

Ottar stood up and rushed toward Silver who only thought, ‘Beastification only an increase up to 50%? Pathetic!’

“Kaiō-ken!”

Silver’s PL: 400→6,400

An increase by 16 times, enough to beat Ottar into a pulp considering his sanity is now lost and will just attack like a brute with no brain.

When Ottar used his greatsword and slashed at him, Silver just stood there as he created a revolving ki barrier around him. When the sword came in contact with the revolving ki barrier, it broke into pieces. When it broke, Silver quickly punched his stomach and through it.

He left him there, bleeding. He knows he will survive as he felt that Allen Fromel was near. As much as he wants to cripple the person, he doesn’t want to do it until he was granted the recognition of being the fastest adventurer and will show him who is faster.

Then, he hid away and just watched from the shadows. When Allen arrived, he quickly saw Ottar on the floor and quickly picked him up and ran as fast as he could.

“No movement techniques on it? When he sped up, the ground wasn’t broken. That was only because he put all the force to go forward rather than digging his feet on the ground for more speed, but all in all, it’s just brute strength. He found a way to fully utilize the increase in speed by unknowingly using physics, but still using brute strength with no techniques. Is this the adventurer known to be the fastest? Pathetic! I could go even faster than him by the time I reach level 5 while he is level 6.” He muttered with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

As he goes down further, he killed a lot of monsters. When he reached Floor 12, he just continued and tried to see what Floor 13 is like.

When he arrived, a party quickly pass paraded him. He then quickly dealt with the monsters in just mere seconds with his movement technique called Chisenpo. The name translation of this technique is “Thousand Flash Steps” which is a technique that not only enhances one’s speed, but also move at utmost speed that you can never be caught.

This technique consisted of many steps, a thousand steps. Each steps is technically 10 times faster than your maximum speed without using this technique. Silver could use up to 213 steps for now, which he can use it for burst, or more likely to use as a means to catch an enemy’s off guard. Since he was still weak, but his mastery is off the charts his body’s limit can do, he usually uses only 10 steps because no one can really outspeed him.

Right now, he’s not even intending to train and practice this technique.

Ehem! Let’s go back to the main story. When the party looked back, all they saw is the same man standing on the same place without any monsters on sight. At first, they thought they were just hallucinating which is very stupid, but when they saw the magic stones on the floor, they were shocked that he could kill all those monsters by himself very quickly. They were so shocked that they dropped the person injured in their party.

Soon, when Silver started collecting the stones, the party started going back up and so did Silver.

When Silver emtered the Guild, he didn’t hide what he was holding. A huge sack of magic stones and then he nonchalantly said, “Where’s my money?” in a threatening manner at the guildswoman who was at the exchange counter.

“But, sir! It won’t fi-” before the guildswoman could speak any further…

And soon, the guildswoman gave him the equivalent value of the magic stones that he collected.

All in all in total, he earned a total of 347,169 Valis. This is just the first haul of the day, and he just started. He plans to go even further the next day.
