Alan ran his gaze through the grimoire, affirming the status of his comrades, and concluded they're dandy whether in weapon, armament, or the magical tools.

(Speaking of, time sure flies fast. Haku is now 2 years old, but sporting an impressive status for his age. Though Tamtam right now is not even one year old.)

It had been two years since Alan and team slayed the White Dragon before departing for the S-rank dungeon, and so had been the time since Haku had been born.

[List of Birthdays for Allen and Friends]

• Kurena: December 30th
• Cecil: September 1st
• Dogora: September 9th
• Kiel: July 1st
• Sophia: May 1st
• Formar: November 30th

(Hmm, after moving to Seraphim from Dragon Knight Empress, Kurena has inherited all the skills huh. That's really a big haul... though I wonder if she can even get them into practice.)

—«Possible Scenarios regarding Skill Inheritance during Job Transfer»

1. Start with all the previous skill

2. Take over only the Extra-Mode skill

3. No Skill Inheritance

First was applied when Kurena passed through the trail of fire, acquiring the Celeste Dawn (Lit. Heavenly Warrior Empress/Angelic Warrior Empress). Second case was applicable when Dogora changed his job after taking the inherent skill to Level 9. Third condition was applied when the job change was done via Ordinary Job Transfer Dungeon or the Spirit God Rosena. (T/N - Apparently prev tl missed the job change in Kurena’s job change in chapter 690. You can command if you would like to change the naming scheme for this job.)

Apparently, the inheritance of previous job skills depends on the condition during Job Transfer or by the will of god. At the same time, the job transferee might or might not start from zero.

But coming to Kurena and Dogora, both had to start from Level 1. Though in this case, the job transferee inherits half of their previous status.

(And my guess about inherent skill was right, eh? Level 9 is their max potential.)

At the same time, since Godora brought his inherent skill to max level pretty quick, he had been able to acquire various sub-skill with each level up. But once that inherent skill struck Level 9, it stopped absorbing anymore experience points.

On the other hand, the reason Kurena managed to inherit the levels when she turned to Extra-Mode definitely had to be the situation she was in. The last thing they'd wanted was for her to start from Level 1 while they're in a battle against the Demon King army. So the probable guess was god handling the job transfer had the jurisdiction to adjust level inheritance to some aspect.

Here’s the translation for the provided text:

[Extra Mode Talent Skill Levels and Acquired Skills]

• Skill Level 1: Acquire 1 skill
• Skill Level 2: Acquire 1 skill
• Skill Level 3: Acquire 1 stat-boosting skill
• Skill Level 4: Acquire 1 skill
• Skill Level 5: Acquire 1 skill
• Skill Level 6: Stat-boosting skill level 2
• Skill Level 7: Acquire 1 Extra Skill-level skill (may be multiple)
• Skill Level 8: Acquire 1 Extra Skill-level skill (may be multiple)
• Skill Level 9: Stat-boosting skill level 3, acquire 1 skill

[Normal Mode Stars and Stat Increase at Talent Level 3]

• 1 Star: 2 talents with 300 stat increase
• 2 Stars: 3 talents with 600 stat increase
• 3 Stars: 4 talents with 900 stat increase
• 4 Stars: 5 talents with 1200 stat increase
• 5 Stars: 6 talents with 1500 stat increase
• 6 Stars: 7 talents with 1800 stat increase

Note: At Skill Level 2, the stat increase doubles.

[Extra Mode Stars and Stat Increase at Talent Level 3]

• 1 Star: 2 talents with 1200 stat increase, remaining stats 600

• 6 Stars: 7 talents with 7200 stat increase, remaining stats none

Note: At Skill Level 2, the stat increase doubles.Note: At Skill Level 3, the stat increase triples.

The upgrade from here was striking a balance between time, chance, and benefits after job transfer. Now, the strength beyond that would be resting on them; how badly they wished for it.

Next, Allen turned to confirm the status of Sophia and Luck.

(Damn, it's so easy for Elementalists to raise their skill level. The two have already hit the ceiling for skill upgrade.)

Luck and Sophia, having cleared the trial of Great Spirit Goddess Israe in the Spirit Garden, had turned to help their comrades in their trials.

The two had managed to acquire as much as four contracts from Great Spirits, gaining their hands on the status strengthening, offense and buff etc sorts of skills, and with a frequent usage, they took the skill level to their max capacity in no time.

If anything, the duo's proficiency in training their skill level could rival Allen's rapid-fast summoning. Plus, since they'd grace of spirit by their side, they boasted the abundant mana capacity more than anyone, and also could reset the skill's cooldown.

Then Allen's gaze turned to Shea, a probing look latched onto them.

"Huh, what, what's with that gaze? I am taking part in challenges just as much, alright. I have managed to upgrade some of my skills."

"I see. Oh well, it was a good idea to focus on raising skill levels for the past few days, but then again, it all depends on how many times you use it. However, wouldn’t you want to change your job? At present, you’re the only one with a 4 star job."

She had propped the divine skill, that activated itself following the 100-hit combo, to three levels above in a single night.

This was possible through the reward of Magic God Isiris.

Then again, skill levelling was always the main concern for Allen's comrade.

—«Magic God Isiris Faith Points required to avail increased skill experience acquisition and weapons»

1. 100 million — Skill Experience Acquisition x2, -20% Skill Cooldown, -90% Offensive Strength.

2. 1 billion — Skill Experience Acquisition x5, -50% Skill Cooldown, -90% Offensive Strength.

3. 10 billion — Skill Experience Acquisition x10, -80% Skill Cooldown, -90% Offensive Strength.

4. 100 billion — Skill Experience Acquisition x20, -95% Skill Cooldown, -90% Offensive Strength.

※As there's only one weapon of each type, you need to exchange for the required weapons, such as a sword, spear, axe, or knuckles.

In contrast to Hell Mode Allen was playing in, his comrades from Extra Mode and Normal Mode could earn overwhelmingly huge skill experience acquisition from Extra Mode and Normal Mode.

But on the other hand, Allen had the magic stones in his grimoire to perform the successive operation like creation of summon beasts, merging or strengthening them. As long he has mana, he could forever burn the mana to acquire the skill experience.

He had a limitless capacity for the mana stones, and when coupled with the mana recovery ring, the expenditure of mana was nearly zero for him. So in reality, his speed in levelling skills far surpass his comrade from Extra Mode who only had reduced cooldown buff for mere 1 hour.

Moreover, whenever his comrades change to Extra Mode, change their job, or raise their skill and levels, the same skill experience acquisition would be their biggest bottleneck. Like take the S-rank dungeons as an example, they couldn’t upgrade their skill promptly then, and it took them months, if not half a year at least.

Meanwhile, Allen got to change his spiritual recovery rung and bracelets. He also gained the rewards from Dungeon Master Digragni with the help of Merle's faith point, continued to hunt down the soul beasts and used the earned points to seek for the reward that increased his own skill experience, and reduced cooldown.

By sacrificing the offensive potential of skills for the duration using Faith Points, he had enhanced skill experience acquisition rate, and similarly reduced cooldown. Since weapons of different types cannot be reused, Allen exchanged faith points, amounting to 10 billion, for weapons such as a sword, spear, axe, and knuckles.

Allen’s other companions, during the trials, advanced their job classes and continued skill grinding with weapons aimed at improving skills even after the trials

The only unexpected link was Shea. Who could have thought Shea, whom they couldn't contact for around a month, had lost her chance to change her job inside Altair of Beast God Garm?

Allen suggested Shea to fall back from battle against Nestriad and focus on her job, but he gave up on the thought after noticing the battle intent emanating from her.

«Squee—!»

«Squeaakk!»

(Hmm? Oh, you found Nestriad? And Its current 10 m in size, but has a normal shooting range huh.)

The «Hawk's Eye»the —the special skill of summoning beast Bird E—shuttled through the gaps of trees and captured the figure of Nestriad, sitting leaning against the tree at the very end.

Meanwhile, summoned beast Bird A stealthily created its «Nest» on the giant tree nearby Nestriad.

"It's the moment, everyone! The creation of a nest nearby Nestriad is done. Are you all ready? Because I sure am! Buff please!!"

The teleportation spot was away from Nestriad eyes, but it was still within the range of 200 meters. It was a distance Nestriad could chart in mere moments.

"Roger! O' Great God of Spirits, I beseech thy support to endeavour Cecil-san in his trial!!"

"Fufu! My charm has found another summit with this!!"

"My spirits aren't going to lag behind either! Let's go, Mutton!!"

«Let's go!!»

Though before they kick off the battle, Allen prompted for the buffs from Sophia and Roselin. Similarly, Luck and the great spirit Mutton spiritedly chimed in.

A remarkable power swells forth between Allen's group.

Allen prompted Bird A to activate the awakened skill «Homing Instinct», promptly teleporting to the shadow of a giant tree along with everyone.

The trumpet of war between Soul Beast Nestriad and Allen's party was mere moments away from echoing.

T/N - *The last two chapters were meant to be count in last week's update. This one's Tuesday update.

Also, will be adjusting the details in all the chapters soon. I didn't notice, but it appear this series has seen multiple translators, so the glossary and updated chapters didn't exactly match, and that's why some discrepancy arises. I will replace with whatever is the latest.
