Danmachi: Voyager of Worlds Ability

[55] : Celebration & The Weight of Expectations!

Along the uphill path, Mika and Tanjiro walked side by side.

"How have you been lately?" Mika turned his head and asked Tanjiro curiously.

"Me?" Tanjiro paused for a moment, then said happily, "My strength has been growing rapidly lately. According to Rengoku-san, I'm almost reaching the minimum standard for a Hashira."

"The minimum standard for a Hashira? So quickly!" Mika exclaimed in surprise.

Based on Mika's understanding, there should have been a significant gap between Tanjiro and the Hashira. During Mika's recent examination, he discovered that Tanjiro wasn't actually suited for Water Breathing, but rather Sun Breathing. However, Sun Breathing had high physical requirements, and Tanjiro couldn't manipulate it well at that time, which was why his level remained as it was.

Could it be that his physical attributes had improved rapidly during this time? Mika pondered silently.

"Yes, Lady Gabriel said that my Falna basic attributes are approaching all S-rank," Tanjiro replied.

"All S-rank attributes! So fast!" Mika was shocked upon hearing Tanjiro's joyful voice.

It had only been three months since Tanjiro received his Falna, and in that time he had nearly reached all S-rank attributes. This was almost as fast as Bell Cranel, the protagonist of Danmachi world!

"Do you have any rare skills?" Mika asked.

"No, I don't!" Tanjiro replied, scratching his head in confusion.

"No rare skills? Then how is this possible?" Mika grew increasingly puzzled.

"It's because of the Demon Slayer Mark!" Gabriel's voice suddenly entered Mika's ears.

Looking at Gabriel who had suddenly appeared beside him, Mika was stunned for a moment before quickly asking, "You mean the Demon Slayer Mark can increase the rate of improvement in basic attributes?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Gabriel put her hands on her hips, rolled her eyes, and said seriously, "The Demon Slayer Mark, after all, is about breaking through the limits of one's body, exchanging life force for power."

"When Tanjiro is in the Mark state, he's essentially in a constant state of desperate battle, continuously pushing his body to its limits."

"Coincidentally, this state is exactly what the Falna needs, which is why his basic attributes are improving so quickly. After all, he's essentially been in the most intense battle every moment for three months now."

"In this situation, how could his basic attributes not improve rapidly?"

"According to my tests and analysis, Tanjiro will maintain this state until he reaches Level 4, when he gains a physique capable of supporting this power."

"Just like the Yoriichi Tsugikuni you mentioned."

"Doesn't that mean the Demon Slayer Mark is like a technique that can quickly boost one's strength to Level 4?" Mika's eyes lit up as he excitedly asked.

Seeing a method to rapidly increase his strength, Mika quickly became excited.

"BAKA!" Gabriel struck Mika's head hard.

Looking at Mika crouching on the ground holding his head, Gabriel waved at Tanjiro, who understandingly walked alone towards the Butterfly Estate.

Having just returned from completing a mission, he was very tired. If he hadn't met Mika and chatted for a while, he would have already returned to the Butterfly Estate for a good rest by now.

Seeing Tanjiro leave, Gabriel turned her head and loudly scolded Mika, "Have you forgotten what I told you?"

"Don't use the Demon Slayer Mark unless you're on the brink of life and death. How can your memory be so poor!"
