Even though something had gone wrong with the Falna, it didn't affect Hyacine and Barbara's awareness of their own strength. Even if Loki and those outside couldn't see the girls' Status, they were very clear about it themselves.
'To think the System's protection reached such a degree...'
'Is the shielding based on the power of Aquila and Barbatos?'
Aside from Hyacine and Barbara themselves, no other human or Deity could see the Status on the girls' backs, including Loki, the Goddess who had just carved the Falna.
Consequently, whatever specific abilities they obtained were for Hyacine and Barbara to decide, as no one else could see them anyway.
In reality, they didn't gain much benefit after the shielding, because after a careful investigation, Hyacine and Barbara confirmed one thing...
They were both characters with Max Eidolons and Max Superimpositions!
Hyacine was no longer just a healer who could fight and heal; she was a berserker priest who could convert massive amounts of healing into damage!
As for Barbara's healing methods, they had improved by several levels; she could even perform resurrection if a teammate accidentally fell!
Healing conversion and Resurrection Magic—either of these would be considered a bug in the world of Danmachi, yet here they were appearing together...
Due to their soul link, even a portion of their Skills were shared. With such shocking Skills and Magic, it was no wonder the System shielded them; even Loki wasn't allowed to look.
Fortunately, this didn't hinder the two girls from leveling up; they could clearly feel that they were currently Level 1 Adventurers.
"So, is this the Dungeon?"
"Here we come!"
Except for one werewolf, most of the Loki Familia were very kind and had offered advice to the two girls.
When first becoming an Adventurer, it was best not to rashly enter the Dungeon to explore, or one would surely suffer.
Hyacine and Barbara thanked the seniors for their guidance, then ran into the Dungeon when they weren't paying attention... On the outside, they looked like well-behaved girls, but in reality, they had a bit of a rebellious streak, like right now.
"Is this a Goblin?"
"It doesn't look that strong?"
Looking at the small green monster rushing toward them, the image of a certain expert who killed Goblins on Dark Souls difficulty inexplicably popped into their minds...
Unfortunately, Hyacine and Barbara weren't Goblin Slayers; there was no need to hunt down small fry like this.
During this period, the recorded healing they had accumulated had broken through the heavens; it wouldn't be easily used up all at once. If used properly, they could deal with various types of monsters in batches.
It was best to save these powerful Magic spells for high-level monsters; this would not only increase their Status significantly but also accumulate Excelia for leveling up.
So, facing such a weak monster, Hyacine stepped forward first, took out her magic staff, and charged at the Goblin.
"Hyacine, charge!"
Neither girl had ever fought a monster in the Dungeon, but they possessed the combat experience of Cerydra and Hysilens from their previous Roleplay. So, even though they were healers now, they wanted to test their melee capabilities.
Barbara's weapon was a book; she couldn't exactly go up and bash things with it, right? Hyacine's weapon was a staff, which was relatively better.
Every healer has the heart of a warrior. As a descendant of the Daythunder Knight, Hyacine should have talent in this area... right?
Whatever, she'd just go up and give it a whack with the staff first!
"Witness my 'Stride to Deliverance'!"
With the boost from her second Eidolon, Hyacine's speed was naturally faster than average Adventurers and far surpassed the monsters on the first floor.
The blessing of wind allowed her to reach the monster almost instantly, followed by a strike with her staff...
It was a slash from the upper right to the lower left ↙. If one looked closely, they would see it was Lord Phainon's sword-swinging motion; even the name of the Skill was exactly the same.
'Having fought alongside Lord Phainon, I have naturally carved Lord Phainon's sword strokes into my mind. I'll never forget them!'
Whether it could deal effective damage was another matter, but she certainly remembered it, because Hyacine was a character on the Path of Remembrance!
Thud!
The seemingly powerful blow landed precisely on the Goblin's temple, drawing blood from the monster.
If a normal person or even a low-level Adventurer suffered such a lethal strike, they might fall into a coma.
But monsters were different!
Although blood flowed from this Goblin's forehead, it quickly shook its head, climbed up from the ground, and rushed at Hyacine again.
"Waaaaagh!"
Perhaps because it was injured, this Goblin behaved even more frenziedly than before, completely disregarding its own death to eliminate the human in front of it.
'As expected, is our physical Strength insufficient...'
Though they had anticipated this, the girls were still a bit disappointed when reality stared them in the face.
Combat techniques from the previous world couldn't be used in this world at all. Hyacine and Barbara's physiques might be stronger than average humans, but they were far from the level of normal warriors. Even with the speed boost from Hyacine's second Eidolon, it was hard to deal effective physical damage.
"It seems we'll have to take the Mage route after all!"
"But before that, let's conduct an experiment."
As the monster made its heroic charge, Barbara moved at that exact moment, swinging the book in her hand toward the Goblin's head.
Professor Ratio once said that knowledge is power; it wasn't impossible to use it as a weapon.
However, for this Goblin, the damage was ultimately too low to kill it.
But that wasn't what the girls were concerned about...
"Alright, I've got it pinned. Heal it, quick!"
Taking advantage of the monster's charge, the two girls easily used its momentum to pin it to the ground, while giving the Goblin's head another knock, making it bleed more.
What Hyacine and Barbara wanted to try was healing the monster to see if it could be counted toward their quest.
If this could be done, then there would be much more room for manipulation... How many floors can a bag of rice carry?
Looking at the Goblin pressed into the ground by the staff, Barbara took a deep breath and began healing the monster.
"Wagh?"
This sudden healing left even the Goblin dumbfounded, completely unable to understand what these two humans intended to do.
But even so, it was still a monster produced by the Dungeon; it had to eliminate these two humans!
As for the two girls, they stared intently at the healing count. As long as it could go +1, it meant healing monsters was also effective.
"No way... it actually increased?"
"Healing monsters works too?"
Looking at the gradually changing numbers, expressions of disbelief appeared on Hyacine and Barbara's faces. At the same time, they looked down at the completely healed Goblin, their eyes revealing an unprecedented excitement.
On the other hand, the Goblin, which had been struggling, seemed to freeze up entirely because it felt those terrifying gazes...
When it slowly turned its head to look at the two humans behind it, what greeted it were brilliant smiles.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Goblin!"
"You've been a huge help!"
Shortly after, the Goblin died.
How tragic...
