"Ding!! Killer Ant was killed, get 10 Experience Points!!!"
"Ding!! War Shadow was killed, get 10 Experience Points!!!"
"Ding!! Purple Moth was killed, get 10 Experience Points!!!"
"Ding!! Sharingan used continuously, Host will gain 5 Sharingan Experience Points!!!"
"Ding!!..."
In the next few hours, Aston broke through three floors in a row and went directly from the Sixth Floor to the Ninth Floor.
The main monster on the floor has also changed from Killer Ants to a dark, shadow-like monster, War Shadow.
However, for these monsters, Aston still effortlessly annihilated them.
No choice, even though the deeper the floor, the stronger the monsters, Aston's strength increased every time he leveled up.
And it was a very obvious improvement; These monsters are naturally no match for him.
In a few hours, Aston upgraded two levels again, reaching level 8.
Unlike the explosive rewards with Excalibur and Avalon in the previous upgrades, this time Aston gained two simple magics:, a flame magic, Big Fireball, and a wind attribute auxiliary magic, Lightness.
Big Fireball consumed mana to release a one-meter-diameter fireball with decent power, and it was also growth-oriented.
However, unlike Fire Ring, which grew stronger as Aston used more magic power, making Great Fireball more powerful required Aston to study how to make the spell withstand stronger magical power.
Lightness, on the other hand, was an auxiliary magic that enhanced the user's agility. Like Great Fireball, it needed personal research for the auxiliary magic to become stronger.
In addition, after several hours of battle, Aston's Sharingan finally accumulated enough experience points to level up.
The Single Tomoe Sharingan turned into the Double Tomoe Sharingan, gaining the ability to copy others' combat techniques in addition to insight.
As for whether it is possible to copy other people's magic like copying other people's ninjutsu, Aston was not sure; he hadn't experimented with it.
After the Sharingan upgrade, the experience points required for the next upgrade directly multiplied by ten.
Yes, it was 100 before and now it became 1000.
Aston didn't know how many experience points would be needed to upgrade to Mangekyō Sharingan after the next upgrade.

By the way, due to consecutive level-ups, Aston's magical power had increased significantly. The passive ability of the Void Furnace had also been tested, concluding that it would not recover slowly even if too much magical power was consumed at once.
Even if Aston used up all his magical power in an instant, it would quickly recover within a second.
This passive ability was now Aston's most powerful ability, surpassing even Excalibur and Avalon.
After all, these two Noble Phantasms also relied on magical power for use, and in this aspect, they were naturally overshadowed.
"Alright, it's probably four o'clock in the afternoon now. I should go back; otherwise, Hestia will be worried." After eliminating the last War Shadow, Aston estimated his activity time for the day, concluding that it was time to pick up the magic stone on the ground and prepare to return to the surface.
Today's harvest was very rich.
Judging by the exchange rate of 15,000 valis for yesterday's harvest, today's harvest could exchange for at least 100,000.
Yesterday, he only operated on the first and second floors and only for half a day. Today, he went straight to the ninth floor in one go, and he spent about an hour on each floor.
The stronger the monster, the bigger the magic stone will be. The more they are, the more valis can be exchanged.
After spending a few minutes picking up all the magic stones on the floor, Aston set off for the return journey.
Nothing unexpected happened. Thanks to the effect of the Lightness magic, Aston spent only half an hour returning from the ninth floor to the surface.
After all, with the passive ability of the Void Furnace, he didn't need to worry about magic power consumption.
Back on the city, Aston headed straight to the guild, intending to exchange today's harvest for valis.
However, this time Aston didn't look for Eina for the exchange.
Because Eina was not at the front desk, she seemed to be organizing files within the guild.
So, Aston went directly to the Exchange Counter to exchange the magic stones for valis.
It was almost as Aston guessed, even a bit more.
Today's harvest amounted to a whopping 120,000 valis.
The 120,000 valis hung on his waist in a bag, heavy.
Aston left the guild in a good mood, walking towards the Hestia Familia's residence in the sunset's afterglow.
After Aston left not too far, in a little alley near the guild, a few shadows slowly emerged, watching Aston's silhouette with a sinister smile.
"Boss, we found a big fat sheep."
"I know this guy. He just established a Familia not long ago." One of them said to a discerning person who could be tell was the Bearded Leader of this group.
"Boss, I think it's better to forget this time."
"A newcomer can't score this much loot. I bet this guy is probably from an outside Familia transferring in, probably not some low-life scum." Another guy, a young one, had a worried look and warned his boss.
The bearded guy, called the boss, didn't immediately respond to the two. Instead, he stroked his beard, gazing at Aston's back lost in thought.
After a while, the boss finally made a decision.
"Let's do it."
"I got a magic sword from a kid not long ago."
"Even if this kid's got some skills, having a magic sword means we don't have to be scared."
"Most importantly, this kid is alone. Should be a newly established Familia, no need to worry about any companions."
The young guy: "… Ugh, bad vibes."
