Chapter 94: Rapid Growth
“Grrrrr….”
A white-robed mage collapsed, his chest pierced by Yeoui, his barrier shattered.
His eyes, empty and desolate, remained frozen as his body hit the ground.
“Today was a bit easier.”
This was an A-rank dungeon summoned by Hercules.
The A-rank dungeons summoned from Eshtar were often filled with mages.
Mages who popped up, claiming to be from some ‘Magic Tower.’
Was it because this place had a magic city nearby?
But now, with the Dragon Heart and the power of Dragon Tongue magic, most spells were rendered useless.
Fighting them had become easy.
Breaking the dungeon core behind the mage, I was greeted by a familiar sight.
The summit of a mountain near the magical city of Erundal.
This was the designated location where Hercules summoned A-rank dungeons.
“This makes it the 36th run.”
My current level was 195.
Until I reached level 190, each A-rank dungeon run granted at least one level up.
After that, it took two runs to gain a level, but even so, level 200 was fast approaching.
However, today marked the Reset Day of Eshtar—its moment of destruction.
Every cleared A-rank dungeon advanced time by ten days, and Eshtar was no exception.
With 36 runs completed, nearly a full year had passed.
It was time to return to Earth.
Checking my SP, it was at 12.9 million.
Finally… I could upgrade Soul Mediation to Level 7.
He—!!
“Return.”
At Hercules’ thunderous cry, I immediately teleported back.
If things went south, I’d just have to come back again.
“You’ve been gone for quite a while this time.”
I was greeted by Valkyrie Aria upon my return.
Wasn’t she supposed to be the leader of the Valkyries?
How did she have so much free time?
“Yes. There was a good opportunity.”
“I heard from Lady Freya.”
Aria nodded knowingly.
I recalled Freya bestowing her blessing of return when I had gone to meet Hercules.
Though the Soul Barrier had prevented them from hearing the details, it must have seemed suspicious how Hercules continued to summon A-rank dungeons for me at that specific mountaintop.
Yet, Aria didn’t interrogate me about it.
Was she choosing to overlook it?
“Is Lady Freya the administrator of Eshtar?”
“Yes, she is.”
“What did she say to you?”
“She instructed me to treat you with even greater care, Kim Jiho.”
Even greater care?
Was that for real?
I stared at Aria, but she simply smiled brightly.
Her expression gave away nothing.
Well, at least she wasn’t saying, ‘How dare you conspire with Chaos? Unforgivable!’ That was a relief.
I should just focus on what I needed to do.
“Alright. I’ll rest for today and return tomorrow.”
“Understood. Rest well.”
Aria bowed at a perfect 90-degree angle.
I could see the other Valkyries gasping in shock—
“No way… Lady Aria is bowing?!”
Was I considered that important now?
I simply nodded in return before heading home.
“It’s been a while.”
The house felt vast and empty.
A bit dusty, but not as bad as I expected.
After all, while a year had passed in Eshtar, only 36 days had passed on Earth.

Bonus Stats: +129]
My bonus stats had piled up from being left untouched.
Hmm…
I’ll be grinding A-rank dungeons for the next five levels anyway, so I should just hold onto them.
With Trait Absorption, my stats might increase naturally.
I made up my mind to max out my stats when I hit level 199, and then I browsed through my skills.
Upgrading Soul Mediation required 25 million SP.
That’s brutal…
I have 550,000 SP—should I upgrade another skill instead?
Thunder God?
Hermes’ Acceleration?
Aegis Shield?
I looked through them all, but nothing really stood out.
Since I’ll soon reach A-rank, I’ll unlock other S-rank skills, so maybe I should save my SP for that.
I worked my ass off saving SP for the Soul Mediation upgrade, and now that I finally have some extra, I can’t even bring myself to spend it.
Still, I should at least upgrade one S-rank skill, so I invested in Aegis Shield, leaving me with 250,000 SP.
Then, while checking my inventory, I noticed Elprian’s Seal.
Oh yeah… I could invest SP into Apostle’s Garden.
How much does it cost?
[Would you like to expand Apostle’s Garden? It will cost 10,000 SP.]
10,000?
That’s nothing.
But I already have three slots.
Why expand it?
I was about to ignore it when another system message appeared.
[If Apostle’s Garden reaches seven slots, the Blessing feature will be unlocked. You will be able to bestow blessings upon your apostles.]
Blessing?
This was a thing?
If I can give blessings, I’ll really feel like a guardian deity.
Hmm.
It’s just 10,000 SP—let’s do it.
After investing twice, Elprian’s Seal in my inventory glowed, and the light enveloped my body.
[Apostle’s Garden - LV.2]
[A space where temporary apostles reside. It exists as a separate dimension, completely disconnected from the world. SP can be invested to further expand it. You can now bestow blessings upon apostles. Slots in use: 2 / 7]
[Available Blessings]
[Bestow Guardian Deity's Power]
[Allows an apostle to receive a fraction of the Guardian Deity’s abilities. The granted power cannot exceed 1% of the god’s stats.]
Simple description.
So, I can grant 1% of my stats to an apostle?
Compared to other gods who boost their apostles by 30% to 50%, this seems pretty weak…
I checked Apostle’s Garden.
Diana was still missing, and Drakina had changed into an egg form instead of showing her usual appearance.
[Name: Drakina]
Class: Red Dragon (Humanoid) (Evolving)
Guardian Deity: Kim Jiho
Title: -
Level: 100
Body: A
Magic: S
Technique: C
Luck: E
Retrievable SP: 1,481
Evolving?
When did that start?
A new Blessing button appeared on her interface, so I granted her my 1% stat blessing as encouragement.
[Bestowed "Bestow Guardian Deity's Power" blessing upon Apostle Drakina.]
[Apostle Drakina’s stats have increased.]
I checked her status again—only her Luck stat had increased, from E to D.
Her luck really was awful.
I was about to close the Apostle’s Garden window, but then—
A crack formed on Drakina’s egg.
Wait… just from receiving a blessing?
[Apostle Drakina’s rank has increased.]
[Class changed to Red Dragon Hatchling.]
