The reincarnated mid-boss welcomes the protagonist with a level of 999 ~ It seems the hero is mistaken about having a max level of 99 ~

Episode 67: Ultimate Enhancement!

With the assistance of the Great Sage Caphrodyte, I entered into two magic circles.

These magic circles are connected to the world of Breque 3 and are capable of significantly boosting one’s power.

The moment I stepped into the magic circle, tremendous power surged up from the depths of my body.

“Ohhh! What is this!?”

“Whoa!! The numbers are incredible!!”

Indeed…

These levels are incredible.

Numerically, it remains at level 9,999.

However, the side number is the issue.

Hehehe.

It’s nostalgic.

The level cap that turned countless gamers into addicts. The problematic level cap that became the stuff of legends.

Level 990,000.

This marks the appearance of even greater heights.

Comments from users like “This is too much lol,” “There’s no end to this,” “It’s over,” “How much more are they going to raise it?” were flying around.

However, even with such a level cap, the game balance was exquisite. Breque 3 became a masterpiece among masterpieces.

Now, the issue lies in leveling up…

Even raising it to level 9,999 took quite some effort.

It would be tough to do this incrementally.

Well, let’s leave the leveling up for later and enter the final magic circle.

I stepped into the other magic circle.

In an instant, seven glowing orbs appeared.

They were lined up vertically.

“What is this?”

“It’s the Seven-Stage Enhancement Chakra Evoque.”

I’ve never heard of that technique name before.

It seems to be an original technique that didn’t appear in the Breque game.

Upon closer inspection, the top one was emitting a strong light, and chains were wrapped around the ones below.

These chains… are they not released?

“Hehehe. It’s the result of magical research.”

“Oh. It seems the one on top is released.”

“Yes. The Seven-Stage Enhancement Chakra Evoque has seven stages. The Level 10x Enhancement First Burst increases the level tenfold.”

What!?

“It increases the level tenfold!?”

“Yes. While activated, you receive the benefits of ten times the level. Not just in attack power. All stats receive the benefit of ten times the level. Including health, intelligence, and defense. All stats receive an increase equivalent to ten times the level. Well, you can think of it as an enhanced version of Zaus’s placement skill ‘Status Doubler.'”

“…There seem to be seven stages?”

“Yes. Each stage increases by tenfold. So, the final stage, Level 70x Enhancement Seventh Burst, has the effect of increasing the level by 70 times.”

Seriously!?

It’s too amazing.

“How do you use it?”

“It’s simple. Just touch the glowing orb in front of you to activate it. But before that—”

Ohhh!

Let’s try it quickly.

“Like this. Touch and—”

“No! Listen to the end!!”

In an instant.

An enormous gravity pressed down on my body.

Zuuuuuuun!!

W-What!?

So heavy!!

“Nuguhhh…!!”

I-It’s too heavy!!

I’m going to be crushed…!!

“H-Hurry and deactivate it!! You can do it just by concentrating!! Hurry, or your body will be crushed by gravity!!”

D-Deactivate…

Shuuuuun…

“Phew… It… It feels lighter now…”

“H-Hasten. Tremendous benefits come with risks.”

“Hmm… I feel oddly tired.”

Huh?

The stats are in red…

My MP is at zero.

“The Seven-Stage Enhancement Chakra Evoque consumes magic power at an alarming rate. Without raising proficiency, your magic power will drop to zero in an instant.”

“Oh.”

Proficiency, huh.

Which one…

I see.

There are new items added to the stats.

It’s labeled as Seven-Stage Enhancement Chakra Evoque Proficiency Level 1.

“Is this it?”

“That’s right. By raising that proficiency to level 10, you’ll be able to use it properly.”

“And what about maxing out the proficiency?”

“It’s level 99. Once you reach level 99, the magic consumption will be minimized.”

Hmm.

“How do you increase proficiency?”

“Keep using the Seven-Stage Enhancement Chakra Evoque. Proficiency increases in accordance with magic consumption.”

I see. So, each time, you’ll need magic recovery?

“It’s not like that. Here, take this elixir. It’ll replenish your magic.”

“Ah, thank you. That helps.”

It’s a magical liquid.

Just by drinking it, it completely restores all conditions.

Hmm.

My magic is fully restored now.

“But, it’s troubling. Elixirs are precious recovery potions. We don’t have many of them.”

I see.

So, essentially, you just need to replenish magic each time.

“Alright.”

And with that, I held her.

“W-W-What’s this, Zaus!? Are you overwhelmed by emotion!?”

“Let’s go. Acceleration Accelerator!”

It’s a high-speed movement magic.

Maximum acceleration reaches the speed of sound.

Gyuunnn!!

“Here. We’ve arrived.”

“Zaus! A-Are you unable to resist my charm!? Is that it!? I know! Men are creatures like that, right? I-I, for me… that’s… it’s my first time!”

“Hey.”

“Zaus! I-I am about youuuuu!”

“I said hey.”

“Huh? Oh? Wait, what? Where are we? It’s surprisingly open for a place to nurture love, isn’t it?”

“Stop clinging and get down.”

“Huh? Wait, huh? Is this where the man and woman’s affair begins?”

“Why would you think that?”

It was beneath a large tree.

Clean water flowed like a waterfall from its trunk.

“Where is this?”

“Hehehe.”

A grinding spot for experience points in Breque.

A beloved place for all users.

Near the forest clearing where Gobtaro and Hero Cea fought for the first time.

“The Spring of the Great Tree.”

In this place…

“Level 10x Enhancement First Burst!”

“Z-Za-Zaus!! Don’t be reckless! There are no more elixirs left!!”

“Nuguuu… Ugh, deactivate.”

“Hereee!! Your magic would’ve been zeroo!!”

After taking a sip of this spring’s water…

“Alright! Fully recovered!!”

“Ohhhh!! Your depleted magic has been restored!!”

“If you repeat this process, it’ll be easy to raise proficiency.”

“As expected of Zaus!! Here, there’s no consumption of items!! It’s possible to endlessly raise proficiency!!”

Level cap of 990,000.

And the Seven-Stage Enhancement Chakra Evoque.

Not a bad enhancement.

“The Level 20x Enhancement Second Burst will be unlocked when the proficiency of the Level 10x Enhancement First Burst reaches level 10!”

Ohh.

So, that’s what those chains are for.

“Then, let’s start by freely using the Level 10x Enhancement First Burst.”

“Hehe! Zaus is getting stronger and stronger. It’s a joy for me to see my future husband getting stronger. I can’t help but support him. Keep it up, Zaus!!”

After just one day of effort, proficiency reached level 10.

Alright. With this, the Level 10x Enhancement First Burst is now freely usable. Let’s get even stronger.
