Levi was not some horny fox who froze the moment he saw a member of the opposite sex.
If Artemis had simply pursed her lips lightly and then led everyone away obediently, he actually wouldn't have bothered to fuss over it.
However, regarding the legends and Hestia...
"Please take back those scornful words just now. The person I love is not someone you can question."
As she spoke, Levi's instinctive expression was completely ignored.
Along with it, the "Black Grail" domain surrounding them, which he had not retracted, continued to tumble and flow ominously.
"If you dare move again, I'll tear your mouth apart."
If Artemis indeed felt regret, it was that she shouldn't have involved her close friend.
The fact that gods are unchanging—she, who knew emotions but did not correct her mistakes, understood this better than anyone.
In short, if her divine friend Hestia really fancied the boy in the distance, then there must be some shining point in him that Levi himself wasn't even aware of.
As for what that specifically was, the blue-haired Goddess didn't know, nor did she want to know.
After hearing this, she smiled gently, opened her eyes slightly, and said, "Uh, sorry."
Levi remained silent for two seconds upon hearing this, then sighed, raising his right hand to draw a symbol once again.
It was to release Alise's confinement.
"Gojouno, Alise, please trouble yourselves to take them to the camp. After eating, have Daphne and Cassandra come over to change the medicine."
Gojouno nodded her head.
Alise pouted, revealing an unhappy expression. "Didn't Sleep and I only work for two hours today?"
As soon as her voice fell, she was gently nudged with an elbow by her close friend.
Levi directly pressed down on her shoulder. "Just tell me if you want to rest or not."
"I want to! Of course I want to!" Alise responded with a hint of indignation.
For the past ten days or so, she had been working continuously for 12 hours every day. Although the work was only tiring in the first few days—when the troops needed to expel the monsters from the continental coast within the "Black Grail" domain—later on, it only involved collecting Magic Stones and materials.
But this was the most important work, and sometimes it was actually the most tiring.
Seeing that someone could rest at this moment, she naturally complained.
However, before leaving, Levi specifically reminded her, "If you don't want to come back..."
She still couldn't help but ask one more question, "This shouldn't count as me 'defecting', right?"
Levi: "..."
"If you say one more word, it counts."
Hearing this, Alise immediately made a zipping motion across her mouth with her hand.
Gojouno, standing by her side, instantly laughed dumbfoundedly upon hearing this.
When this close friend of hers was the Captain of the Astrea Familia in the past, she never had a filter on her mouth. Now it was even better; from time to time, she would say a sentence or two that made Levi embarrassed.
However, looking at it now, seeing her own Demon Lord get angry because Hestia suggested she come forward—revealing a somewhat gentle appearance—actually had a unique flavor to it.
Thinking this in her heart, Gojouno secretly made a mischievous gesture. "Lady Artemis, please trouble yourself to wait with me at the camp."
Artemis heard Levi's words, and the members exchanged glances. Then, realizing their own Goddess had already walked ahead, they no longer hesitated and stepped forward to follow.
The girls trembled and chattered, clinging to each other's shoulders, while Levi shook his head.
Meanwhile, to the side, Hestia looked at the "Black Grail" domain and the "Thunder Eye" pupil behind it.
[Victory Shop (Sequence updates in 12 days)]
[Law Crystals: 26][Valis Tokens: 47,400+]
Since arriving, Levi had been farming monsters for nearly a month.
Although initially on the continent, due to the number of monsters—and coupled with the fact that adventurers near the secret realm would die no matter what—the state of having many monsters allowed them to see gigantic monsters gathering together within a few waves.
Levi's current combat power was Lv.6.
Facing a group of ordinary Lv.1 to Lv.3 monsters, he didn't even have to do much killing.
Since appearing, he simply activated the "Black Grail" domain and the "Holy Grail" domain opening magic.
Then, a massive amount of Magic Stones were picked up by Alise and the others like flowing water, transforming into Valis Tokens in the exchange shop.
In the first few days, Hestia suggested that the Familia earn a fierce wave of profit.
However, as the monsters near the continent were gradually cleared out, the weather-controlling Antares from the Elsoth Ruins began to constantly fight back.
But Levi's party, out of policy considerations, finally arrived at a weathered entrance and exit between the ruins and the outside world.
In short, Levi's explanation was—Cassandra is cowardly.
There were actually several similar trading spots, but Levi glared at them with his Byakugan and piled them up with the "clinking" sound of Valis Tokens.
Just after completing the final modification, the number of bee monsters and the remaining domain still required considerable expense.
Although it couldn't match the first few days, they could still reach a damage output of twenty to thirty thousand Magic Stones per day.
It was just that sometimes, Antares, who was likely already struggling to resist, although being the King of Monsters, was not completely brainless.
With all the companions around him killed, the new monsters appearing from the ruins needed more time.
The spawn rate began to decrease.
By today, it had changed to a situation where a wave only refreshed every two or three hours, with no more than a hundred per wave.
Fortunately, spider monsters would also drop extra materials.
From the most common carapaces to tail needles carrying poison, and even various gem-like internal organs.
Levi's Inventory was stuffed with no less than 900 items.
According to his estimation, if all these materials were thrown into the exchange shop, the total selling price should exceed 1.7 billion Valis.
If he sold them directly... well, it probably wouldn't exceed that much.
Nearly a thousand portions of materials; even in Orario, with the most prosperous and lenient commercial environment, it was definitely impossible to swallow them all in one breath.
If he wanted to maximize profits, he couldn't do it without spending a year or two.
But if he really did that, then Levi would be the one with a hole in his brain.
He made money to become stronger; regarding Valis itself, he needed it, but only to ensure basic living necessities.
By the way, speaking of monster drops, it seemed to be related to the Development Ability "Luck".
About 7 days ago, the "Luck" on his status panel suddenly changed from H to F.
[Development Ability: Luck F (Guaranteed Pity Count -20, Base UP Probability for Designated Item +40%)]
This actually allowed Levi to find a way to quickly increase the level of this Development Ability.
—Luck was a matter concerning his gacha efficiency; the higher its level, the fewer Valis naturally consumed when drawing designated items.
"I'll farm monsters for one more day, rest properly tomorrow, and then go kill Antares the day after tomorrow."
Muttering this in his heart, Levi clicked open his Inventory, and then began dragging the materials dropped by the spider monsters into the exchange shop one by one.
He continued until the Valis Vouchers on the exchange panel reached 2 billion. Then, under his control, it instantly cleared to zero, replaced by 20 Law Crystals appearing out of thin air within his Inventory.
