Chapter 195: The Love-Struck Elf
The current Sword Soul template's level is 56, at 80%. After leveling up another three and a half levels or so, he can reach level 60 and comprehend Extreme Ghost Sword Art (Meteor Fall).
Just how strong was this move? Liam was already starting to look forward to it.
It was obvious that the power of this sword art would definitely be much higher than the damage of Illusion Sword Dance and the like.
Just from the name, one could see the difference. An attack like a falling meteor, this kind of attack that seemed to carry the power of celestial phenomena, how could Illusion Sword Dance compare?
Of course, as for how strong the power actually was, it mainly depended on the actual test of its effect after subsequent comprehension.
Liam and his group, carrying their spoils of war, arrived at the Adventurer's Guild. Their team, as soon as they appeared, naturally became an eye-catching existence.
Some new adventurers looked at Liam. The males were directly envious, jealous, and hateful, while the females were full of admiration, excitement, and yearning.
As for those veteran adventurers, those who were not familiar with him would try their best to keep a low profile.
Those who had met a few times, or were a bit more familiar, would naturally wave and greet him directly.
Liam nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and then under Miss Eina's guidance, he walked towards the VIP room.
"Is that the adventurer team of Sword Saint Liam? It's really enviable."
"Who can say it isn't? This emerging Familia team has now become an indispensable and dazzling existence in Orario!"
"I'm a girl too, I want to get close to Liam too!"
"All you think about is getting close. The number of girls in all of Orario who want to get close to him could form a line from the Adventurer's Guild to the Entertainment District!"
"Can boys get close to him?"
"Gay? Scram!"
A cheerful atmosphere once again rose in the Adventurer's Guild. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but every time Liam returned from the Dungeon, his strength seemed to have improved.
The adventurers staying here, especially the high-level adventurers, felt this particularly strongly.
The Lv4 adventurers felt an even greater sense of urgency, and even the feeling of wanting to not be surpassed yet being helpless...
...
"Mr. Liam, the total income from your spoils this time is close to four hundred million. If you entrust it to us, you will most likely get about four hundred and eleven or two hundred million Valis."
Liam nodded in understanding, "Then I'll leave all of this to you, Miss Eina. I have great confidence in Eina's professional level."
"No problem. If you have any problems later, please contact me immediately. At any time."
Eina sized up Liam's teammates. They were all women, and there was even a dragon girl!
So this is Liam-kun's preference?
I always feel, should she also take the initiative to attack?
Forget it, it's better to finish my own work first.
The Juggernaut, which was stronger than the floor lord Udaeus, did not drop any spoils of war when it was finally killed.
Every time Liam thought of it, he would feel a little regretful. He quickly banished this thought from his mind.
There was no possibility of perfection. Liam led the group and left the Adventurer's Guild.
"Everyone, after we return to The Hearthfire Manor and wash up, we'll have a two-day holiday. In these two days, you can advance Familia funds to buy your own First-Grade indestructible armaments!
At the same time, maintain your other armaments.
It's still the old rules. The money will be paid in advance by the Familia. After that, for each expedition's harvest, half of each person's reward will be handed over."
Daphne's face was not looking good, "I always feel that the debt is getting bigger and bigger. This time, I'm afraid I'll have to bear a debt of several hundred million Valis?"
"It's better than losing your life in the Dungeon! All kinds of equipment are an adventurer's second life!"
Lili snorted coldly, "With a captain like Liam, you should just cry with gratitude. Lili will buy the best equipment to strengthen herself anyway!
Lili also wants to improve her own ability score attributes to the maximum limit!"
Lili's words also spurred everyone on. Possessing equipment that surpassed one's adventurer level, its importance was self-evident.
If one wanted to train oneself, then one should use conventional weapons.
But if one encountered a fatal danger, for example, being separated from Liam this time. If they didn't have solid equipment, then it was possible to lose their lives in the end.
Heading to The Hearthfire Manor, Goddess Hestia still threw herself into Liam's arms.
"Liam! Liam! Liam! I've finally seen you again! It's Liam's scent~!"
Liam rubbed the goddess's head. After some reminiscing, Hestia finally returned to normal.
"Go take a bath! Then I'll give you all a wave of ability score boosts!"
After a round of washing up, Liam began his status update!
Liam Moon
Lv4
Strength: I90 → S:80 | Endurance: I99 → S:60 | Dexterity: H90 → S:99 | Agility: I90 → S:98 | Magic: H99 → S:80
Development Ability: Sword Saint
Magic: Warlord's Fervor
Skills: Sword Soul Power, Homicidal Intent Perception, Abnormal Resistance, Sword Saint's Power
Ultimate Skill: Extreme Ghost Sword Art (Tempest Style)
Looking at the parchment Hestia handed over, Liam was a little surprised.
So his Extreme Ghost Sword Art was also in the category of an ultimate skill. As for why it wasn't detected in the first update.
Perhaps, it was purely because his Sword Soul template was at work? Was the rarity too high, or too special?
So it led to, even with the goddess's Falna, it might take multiple detections to show up?
Actually, this move was very exaggerated in terms of destructive power.
At level one, he could only use an upward slash to gather the internal sword aura of twenty-four weapons to one point and release a slash shockwave.
And at level two, it had reached forty-eight blades.
He guessed that at level three of Tempest Style, he could use ninety-six weapons to form a Tempest Style sword formation, and gather the sword aura within the ninety-six weapons to one point.
If the number of weapons doubled with each increase in the level of Tempest Sword Art, by the time he reached level ten, the number of weapons would exceed ten thousand!
Just thinking about it, having tens of thousands of weapons in his Selfless Sword Domain, was enough to make one ecstatic!
Subsequently, his brow furrowed tightly.
He only hated that his financial resources were insufficient. After letting the other members of the Familia go to purchase a First-Grade indestructible armament.
The total funds of the Hestia Familia would be greatly reduced.
Now, he could only forge them himself.
"Forging is also a part of improving my strength!" After comforting himself a little, Liam also directly set off, heading towards Babel.
"I hope Babel has some good forging materials!"
Just thinking about having to forge twenty-four First-Grade indestructible armaments, and the highest-grade ones at that.
Liam felt a headache. Especially since he might have to forge thousands or even tens of thousands later!
This quantity and resource, just how exaggerated would the Valis consumed be?
One highest-grade indestructible armament, just counting the material cost, would absolutely not be less than one hundred million Valis!
He thought that in all of Orario, all the current indestructible materials combined probably couldn't even forge a thousand blades.
Probably even two or three hundred was a stretch.
...
The Hostess of Fertility Restaurant.
Syr, or rather, a certain goddess.
She had developed curiosity, appreciation, and even feelings of affection for Liam.
And so, Syr wanted to know Liam's feelings.
After seeing more and more girls around Liam, she knew she had to take the initiative.
"Is this love? I don't know, but I want to know Liam's thoughts."
The sky turned dark. Syr, who had been preoccupied all this time, saw Liam and his companions.
As for Hestia, it seemed that because of the goddess festival, she did not appear with Liam and the others.
Liam and his group entered the restaurant one after another and ordered portions of food.
Although the expense was a bit large, Liam didn't want to mistreat his companions.
Lili looked at the menu and was also drooling. Although the food Mikoto made was delicious, she couldn't let her prepare every meal. She couldn't let her waste a lot of time on cooking. Liam's improvement speed was already exaggerated.
Everyone was already very diligently improving their strength, but compared to Liam, it was like standing still.
"Liam, our Familia's expenses this time are really too big. We need to save a bit."
Lili couldn't help but wipe the saliva from the corner of her mouth. Liam couldn't help but laugh.
"Currently, our Familia has two major industries. The Grand Casino, Golden City Paradise, and the Duel Card House are both very profitable.
Although it seems that the liquid funds have shrunk significantly, it is a necessary expenditure to invest in the future."
"And the taste of this restaurant is really good. Everyone is also our friend. It's quite good to come and see them occasionally."
Syr placed the food in front of Liam. She held the plate with both hands and looked curiously at Ryuu not far away.
She asked in a low voice, "Liam, did something happen between you and Ryuu?"
Liam looked in Ryuu's direction. After this expedition ended, Ryuu had been strange.
Now that everyone was eating together, she had also directly turned her head away, directly showing the back of her head to Liam.
"Indeed, a little accident happened."
Liam thought of the things he had encountered with Ryuu before. Although he had shamelessly said something that would make a girl very angry, that was indeed his true thought.
If the other party was not willing, then he would not force her.
Now it was just that his strength was not enough. When his strength was sufficient, and he no longer had to worry about his lifespan, he would naturally patiently look for a suitable partner.
Or, one by one, conquer the girls around him who had a good impression of him.
Although she hadn't turned her head, Ryuu seemed to have directly noticed Liam's gaze. She simply stood up and ran outside.
Ah, at this time, he seemed to have to chase after her and ask clearly.
But he had already guessed what her mood was.
"Ryuu!"
Ryuu hurried away. Liam also immediately got up and chased after her.
Lili stood up abruptly, like a shark that had smelled blood.
"Stop eating! It seems there's a new development between Liam and Ryuu!"
Mikoto suddenly coughed. Ais stood up directly. Wien had a curious look on her face. Daphne showed an excited expression of a gossip-monger.
Cassandra had a look of melancholy and weakness, "I had a not-so-good dream..."
It was just that her words were not finished before she was interrupted by Lili.
"Never mind what dream or not! Did something happen between Liam and Ryuu? Let's hurry up and see!"
"Oh!"
Wien didn't know what had happened. She just wanted to get close to Liam!
On the other side.
"Ryuu~"
"Don't come over!"
Sensing Liam's familiar voice behind her, Ryuu immediately became flustered. She turned around and a hand chop came over!
"BOOM!"
An exaggeratedly extreme shockwave spread from the point of contact between their palms. The immense force extended from Liam's palm to the ground, causing spiderweb-like cracks with a diameter of three or four meters to appear on the ground.
Unlike the original work, the Ryuu in the original work had personally killed the Juggernaut.
And now, Ryuu had only gotten an assist.
Although she had also obtained a great feat, it was obvious that this great feat was not enough to let her jump two levels in a row like in the original work.
Of course, Ryuu could actually forcibly jump two levels. It was just that she didn't do so. She also wanted to learn from Liam, to improve her ability scores to the limit as much as possible before considering a level sublimation.
"Is this a Lv5 hand chop? Ryuu, are you trying to kill me? It hurts so much."
Liam pretended to be in great pain and took two steps back.
Seeing Liam's appearance, Ryuu was naturally flustered. She hurriedly came over, "Liam, are you alright?"
"Of course, I'm fine. So what on earth is going on with you?"
Liam directly and forcefully took Ryuu's hand, "We're all companions. Why do you hate me so much?"
"I don't hate you. It's just, I just don't know how to face you."
Being stared at by Liam, Ryuu's face became redder and redder. In the end, she still spoke her true thoughts.
"I see. Since that's the case, then I'm relieved."
While saying these words, Liam sensed someone approaching.
Since the other party had no hostility, he naturally didn't pay too much attention. Instead, he started chatting with Ryuu.
Seeing Liam so intimately holding Ryuu's hand from a distance, Syr's mood was a bit sour.
Liam was so handsome and young, and had great potential. She also thought very highly of him.
It was just that, Syr also wanted Liam to pay more attention to her...
The dejected Syr thought of many things in her mind. In the end, she decided to take the initiative.
With this thought, the next morning, Syr called Ryuu to The Hostess of Fertility restaurant.
At this time, there were not many people near the restaurant. Syr could communicate better with Ryuu.
"Ryuu, do you like Liam?"
"Me? How could I possibly like your crush?"
Previously, when Ryuu was working with Syr, she had heard that Syr had a good impression of Liam. Everyone else in the restaurant was talking about this.
It was just that after actually contacting Liam for a period of time, she found that Liam was indeed very charming.
And she had actually started to like Liam too, and it was the kind of like that she couldn't suppress at all.
This was really too shameful. She was clearly an elf. How could she do such a thing as stealing someone's love?
Ryuu became flustered and uneasy, as if she had become the other woman, and after fighting with the man, she was caught by the original partner, uneasy, helpless, in the wrong, and at a loss.
"I like Mr. Liam. Can I invite Liam to the Goddess Festival?"
"Why are you asking me this kind of question?"
Ryuu was stunned. She really envied Syr.
Syr was so cute, beautiful, generous, and brave. To pursue her own happiness, she could be without any scruples.
And look at herself. Why didn't she have this kind of courage like Syr?
If she could launch an unscrupulous offensive against Liam like Syr, would the two of them have already become a couple now?
