Reaching the Limit of Status

The technique of Parallel Chanting was extremely important to Shirou Emiya.

When facing powerful enemies, he often couldn't get a chance to activate Unlimited Blade Works smoothly, and many times he had to rely on the enemy holding back or indirectly holding back.

For example, Angelica and the arrogant Gilgamesh.

This was very unreliable.

If he were facing close-combat experts like Little Sun or Berserker, he probably wouldn't even be able to activate Unlimited Blade Works.

Therefore, he absolutely had to learn the skill of Parallel Chanting.

Seeing Riveria so readily agree to his request, Shirou Emiya's heart was filled with gratitude.

This was complete trust.

Just as he was about to continue expressing his thanks to Riveria, a shout from outside the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Riveria, I'm back!"

"Where's Shirou? I picked out a title he'd be satisfied with."

The voice came before the person even entered.

Concerned about his title, Shirou Emiya quickly went to meet her, asking excitedly, "Lord Loki, what kind of title is it?"

Please don't let it be a weird title. I can accept something a bit chuunibyou.

"Heh heh! With me around, how could it be a bad title? Take a guess, it's a title you're very familiar with."

"I'm familiar with it?"

Shirou Emiya looked at Loki, who was smiling broadly, with some confusion. Suddenly, inspiration struck.

"Could it be Magic Sword Shooter?"

"That's right!"

Seeing Shirou Emiya guess correctly, Loki no longer hid anything. She put her hands on her hips and proudly recounted her achievements.

"I remember you were quite satisfied with this title, right? So, after a bit of a verbal sparring match, I finally settled on this title for you."

"How is it, are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, of course, I'm satisfied."

Shirou Emiya wouldn't say he wasn't satisfied even if he wasn't, and besides, he was actually quite satisfied.

Magic Sword Shooter, while a bit chuunibyou, at least had a bit of the flair of his nuke-wielding swordsman persona. It was the best among the mediocre, a decent choice.

"It's good that you're satisfied. With me here, I won't let the members of our Familia get any strange titles."

Hearing Loki's conviction, Shirou Emiya was a little moved.

Although she was a pervert who loved beautiful girls and usually acted unprofessionally, she was incredibly reliable when it mattered.

Joining Loki Familia was indeed the right decision.

Shirou Emiya's life became extremely regular afterward.

During the day, he explored the Dungeon with Lefia, fighting and training to his heart's content.

Upon returning to Loki Familia, he would learn the techniques of Parallel Chanting from Riveria.

As a necessary skill for any Mage, the core of Parallel Chanting was the composure to calmly deal with any situation.

To Shirou Emiya, this was as easy as lifting a finger.

The subsequent techniques were a matter of diligent practice; as long as he studied them slowly, he would eventually master them.

As a result, Shirou Emiya was far ahead on the path of Parallel Chanting.

Even Lefia, under Shirou Emiya's tutelage, gradually mastered this technique.

This led to a significant increase in the strength of both of them.

At the same time, Shirou Emiya's conjecture was verified: the executives of Loki Familia, who had mastered the self-restriction training method, began to continuously explore ways to limit their own strength.

Shirou Emiya also participated in similar meetings and discussed several suitable methods.

Through these methods, the strength of the high-level Adventurers in Loki Familia also rapidly increased.

Concurrently, after more than a month of rest, the proposal for the next expedition was put forward in a meeting.

====================

"Reached your limit again? Your rate of progress is monstrous no matter how you look at it."

Looking at Shirou Emiya's latest status, Loki clicked her tongue and handed the translated papers to him.

Shirou Emiya remained unfazed as he looked at his stats.

He had already anticipated these numbers before coming here.

After all, his basic stats were already close to max when he last updated his Blessing.

Seeing Shirou Emiya staring blankly at the papers, Loki's eye twitched slightly.

Why isn't this kid showing any excitement?

So all my excitement was for nothing.

"Since your basic stats have reached their limit, the next step is to level up. Do you already have a goal for this Great Deed you're aiming for?"

Loki had to ask about Shirou Emiya's next adventure.

After all, this person had a history.

Last time, he had ventured alone into the eighteenth floor without a word, and this time, Loki wouldn't even be surprised if he challenged a Floor Master solo.

"I already have a goal."

After updating his Blessing last time, Shirou Emiya had begun thinking about his next objective, knowing he was about to reach his limit, and had finally confirmed it.

"My target is the Floor Master of the seventeenth floor, Goliath."

Shirou Emiya said earnestly as he put on his shirt.

Hearing Shirou Emiya's words, Loki's eyes nearly bulged out.

No way, a Floor Master? I was just kidding.

"You're Level 2, and Goliath is a Level 4 Floor Master. Don't you understand the gap between you?"

Before she knew it, Loki was shouting.

Doesn't this guy fear anything?

Although he was being scolded, Shirou Emiya could feel Loki's deep concern.

But his goal would not change; the Floor Master was an obstacle he had to overcome.

If he couldn't even overcome Goliath, how could he save Miyu?

"Please don't worry, Lord Loki. I'm not acting on impulse. I've made an assessment for the fight against Goliath, so this is not a reckless choice."

"Besides, I won't be going alone this time. I'll ask a senior from the Familia to back me up. So I won't be in any danger."

Shirou Emiya said with a smile, watching Loki's expression gradually relax. "Please believe me, Lord Loki!"

"I won't die easily until my objective is achieved."
