The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

The dwarf, his voice deep, said, "I advise you not to go around spreading rumors… It concerns the Sword Demon and the Nine Magic Princess, Riveria…"

"Ruthless, cold-blooded, tyrannical, wielding life and death, indulging in wine and women, manipulating everything, indiscriminate… Moreover, she appears calm on the surface, hiding her true depths."

The following morning, as the first rays of sunlight dispersed the mist, the Loki Familia's expedition set out.

This was the city's top-tier exploration-focused adventurer faction. With the Freya Familia's emphasis on lone-wolfism and the Ganesha Familia preoccupied with city management duties, the Loki Familia was the only hope for Orario to break through to the deepest levels of the Dungeon.

This expedition of the Loki Familia was precisely for the purpose of "breaking records." At this moment, the Loki Familia was at its strongest since its founding—the three Greats still in their prime, the younger generation growing up, and the new magic swords and armaments as trump cards. With all of this, the Loki Familia was yearning for a resounding victory.

"Not losing a single comrade"—this was the reason why the Loki Familia, whose theoretical combat power was already sufficient, had not yet attempted the Labyrinth Lone King battle, and it was also the purpose of all their efforts over this period.

"Ooooh! ! !"

The Loki Familia's "army" advanced towards the Tower of Babel, and today, more people than usual were paying attention to this place.

Above the Tower of Babel, the strongest person in the city, the Valiant, and the goddess of the strongest Familia were silently watching this scene.

The boar-man spoke in a steady, deep voice.

The goddess Freya's voice was as calm as ever.

"The Freya Familia's authority must not be challenged."

"Has the Loki Familia begun to surpass the Freya Familia?" This had even become a hot topic in the city recently.

"You know I've never cared about such things."

"It's also to hone my abilities and combat skills."

After a moment of silence, Ottar spoke again.

Freya thought for a moment: "I understand. If the Loki Familia successfully defeats Balor, I will trade its information to the Guild or the Loki Familia. At that time, Ottar, you can try as you wish."

Although Finn, Riveria, and Gareth were at the forefront of the Loki Familia's expedition, with Aiz and others following closely behind, they immediately switched to a more practical formation after leaving the Familia's headquarters.

All five of them possessed considerable Agility stats, especially Bete, whose potential Agility before leveling up averaged S-rank. Even the Level 6 Riveria and Gareth were slower than Bete.

The first-tier adventurers would sweep through all the monsters they encountered along the Dungeon's main thoroughfare at the fastest speed, including the Labyrinth Lone King, Goliath, who had already respawned on the seventeenth floor.

Afterward, Alicia and the others would rest in the safe zone on the eighteenth floor and repeat the process after the main force arrived, clearing the monsters up to the next safe zone on the twenty-eighth floor, including the Labyrinth Lone King on the twenty-seventh floor.

Efficiency was the top priority before reaching the lower levels, because in Dungeon expeditions, the supply line was the lifeline. Every minute saved in the early stages would become an advantage for deeper exploration in the later stages.

These were all things that Riveria taught Wei Gong. She selflessly shared the valuable experience that the Loki Familia had accumulated from countless expeditions, even though Wei Gong had not accepted the invitation to act as a supporter and accompany the Loki Familia this time.

And although Riveria was very sorry that Wei Gong refused, she still shared a lot of experience and insights as a high-level adventurer with him, which benefited Wei Gong a lot, and before leaving, she booked an order for a first-class armed sword for Aiz.

In this way, he took on the job of forging a sword for Aiz, and when the Loki Familia's expedition began, he was in a secret place, fighting fiercely with Ryu, Anya, Lunoire, and Chloe.

This was one of the benefits of establishing a friendly relationship with the goddess Demeter. The Demeter Familia was one of the few factions with the power to freely enter and exit the city, and in the suburbs, training grounds that were worth a fortune in the city could be found everywhere.

In comparison, the Hostess of Fertility's backyard seemed too small. It was barely enough for Wei Gong to train before leveling up, but if Ryu and the others were to fight all-out there, the result would only be the entire tavern being damaged in the aftermath of the adventurers' battle, and then the girls being torn to pieces by the furious Mia.

On the other side, the moment the arrow left the string, Wei Gong, who shot the arrow, immediately left his original shooting location without even confirming whether he hit or not.

However, after she took three steps forward, she stepped on real "lightning."

Muse's Lightning—Looking at the current and lightning spreading from the ground she stepped on, Ryu immediately determined the entity of this attack.

It could simply explode, or it could be given the electrical effect of paralyzing the enemy.

Among the magic of Asterius's Record, the one that the straightforward Ryu was worst at using was this trap magic. She would only use this magic as a disposable bomb, while Wei Gong was very good at using this trick to control the battlefield.

Realizing this, Ryu retreated without hesitation. With one step, the powerful impulse allowed her speed to complete a 180-degree reversal in an instant, and Ryu's figure retreated backward.

The two arrows that Wei Gong shot out at the beginning, which did not hit Ryu but pierced into the ground, revealed their essence—they were two magic swords.

"Ryu, don't think about running, meow~"

Anya, tightly gripping the golden spear, rushed over. Her combat power might be slightly inferior to Ryu when she was at Level 4, but only in terms of speed would she not disgrace the name "Half-Wheel of the Chariot."

Ryu shifted her body, trying to avoid Anya's charge. At the same time, she lowered her head and began to chant magic softly.

"Don't think you can easily succeed, Gale!"

Ryu drew the second sword hanging from her waist. The crimson sword slashed out burning sword marks, colliding with Anya's spear tip, while the black sword slashed out afterimages, confronting Lunoire's gauntlets.

The strong impact made Ryu take two steps back, while Anya and Lunoire were instead sent flying. The difference in level and equipment meant that even in a two-on-one situation, they could not gain an advantage from Ryu.

She had already seen the direction of the boy. Ryu rushed up without hesitation, while the other party released a smoke bomb on the spot, trying to cover up his tracks with thick smoke.

Ryu knocked him to the ground with a chop of her hand, and even rolled several times on the grass before stopping, and the dagger coated with anesthetic also fell out.

Taking off the hood, what was revealed was the cute face of a cat girl.

Chloe: "A cat doesn't want to confront that muscle elf head-on, meow. A cat is an assassin and has to win with brains."

"It's difficult."

Chloe said, "Unless you use seduction."

The cat girls sighed. Obviously, this was not the first time they had been defeated by the "good-for-nothing elf" today.

After leveling up to Lv.2, his ability values, especially Dexterity and Magic, have always been growing rapidly. Today, even without the boost of the Philosopher's Stone, he can already project that Noble Phantasm.

"Caladbolg, Phantasm Strike—"

This time, Wei Gong did not use the way of shooting the spiral sword with a bow, but used its original function, wielding it as a sword.

The thunder of the gods roared, as if dyeing half of the world into a dazzling white, while on the other side, it was a deeper, seemingly able to devour everything, crimson.

“What? ! ! ! ”

… …

“Based on the information we have gathered, we can draw a conclusion.”

Amazon said.

“Weimiya Shirou, a man of great strength and extraordinary talent. At the same time, his style of doing things… I think the only word to describe it is 'Demon King'.”

“Danger Level: Black, Extremely Dangerous!”

Chapter 123: The Loki Familia's Expedition.

For this expedition, the Loki Familia can be said to have launched a full-scale attack. The expedition team included three Lv.6 adventurers, five Lv.5 first-class adventurers, and many Lv.4 and Lv.3 second-class adventurers. In addition to these core combat forces, the supporters of the expedition were all upper-level adventurers of at least Lv.2, making it a luxurious lineup.

The main entrance of the Twilight Manor was wide open. Led by the three Lv.6 adventurers, with [Hero] Finn in the center, many adventurers famous in the labyrinth city filed out.

Behind them, the goddess Loki looked at their figures and shouted:

“I only have one thing to say, everyone, come back alive!”

[Hero] Finn did not turn his head, he just raised his right hand high and gave the goddess an upward thumb.

“Departure, destination, the Tower of Babel!”

At the very front of the crowd, Finn waved his spear, the golden tip of the spear pointing forward, shining brightly in the morning light.

The adventurers raised their weapons in response.

Some were impressed by the momentum of the Loki Familia, some were secretly jealous of the glory of the top familia, and some simply blessed the brave who ventured into the land of despair.

“Lady Freya, after the Loki Familia's activities are over, please allow me to go on an expedition.”

“You want to go on a solo expedition, Ottar? It will be very dangerous.”

Ottar said.

During this period, the Loki Familia has been growing explosively, from being steadily suppressed by the Freya Familia in terms of both the number and quality of first-class adventurers, to now faintly having the potential to contend with them.

Freya played with a strand of her snow-white hair: “Staying at the top of this Tower of Babel is actually not very interesting.”

Ottar bowed slightly: “Thank you for your permission, Lady Freya.”

The goddess then got up, seemingly not interested in staying too long on this highest Babel Tower.

[Sword Princess] Aiz, [Fierce Wolf] Bete, [Great Cleave] Tiona, [Wrath Serpent] Tione, [Pure Garden] Alicia, the five Lv.5 first-class adventurers of the Loki Familia left the main force and entered the dungeon in advance.

[Fierce Wolf] is also considered the most likely person to challenge the [Goddess's Chariot] for the title of the fastest in the city in the future.

Apart from Bete, the others also have extremely high agility stats. Their mobility far exceeds that of other members of the familia. Therefore, at this time, in order to improve the efficiency of their advance, they became the "spearhead" of the expedition.

Their task is to open the way for the main force of the expedition, especially the supply train composed of supporters. After they clear the accumulated monsters and the solitary kings of the labyrinth blocking the road, the advance of the main force will become much easier.

[Double-Headed Dragon] Anphisbaena.

Until after the twenty-eighth floor, the "spearhead" team and the main force began to move together.

After reaching the lower levels, even first-class adventurers may be harmed by the malice of the dungeon. From here on, the expedition's actions must become more and more cautious as they go deeper into the labyrinth.

Compared to increasing his knowledge of the dungeon as a supporter, he still hopes to improve himself in actual adventures and battles. Moreover, the goddess Hephaestus also believes that Weimiya entering the deep layers rashly when his level is too low may encounter unpredictable dangers.

In any case, Riveria is the person in this world who cares most about Aiz at this time, and there is no doubt about that.

Weimiya cannot guarantee that he can forge a sword with the nature of a [Noble Phantasm], but in any case, a first-class armed sword is still possible.

Chapter 124: [Gale] vs. Four.

Outside the labyrinth city of Orario, in a farm, a vast wasteland is now used as a training ground for adventurers.

Near any farm, it is easy to find an open space larger than the entire Loki Familia's residence. Only in this kind of place can high-level adventurer girls act arbitrarily.

Above the ankle-length grass, the agile figure of the elf girl shuttles, leaving a trail of afterimages.

“Whoosh—”

Three arrows flew quickly from behind. Ryu dodged sideways. Two of the arrows passed by the sides of her slender body, and the last one met a jet-black sword light.

The blade accurately cut off the arrow, making a crisp metallic collision sound. The elf girl's eyes rotated nimbly, quickly locking onto a direction.

Ryu's movements were faster than her thoughts. Her body lowered, like a leopard ready to pounce. Once activated, it would be as fast as wind and thunder.

This is the magic possessed by Laila, a small-statured adventurer from the former Astrea Familia. The effect is to consume magic power to create a magical minefield trap.

Laila has passed away, but there are still two people in the city who can use this magic. One is Ryu, who possesses the [Astrea Record], and the other is Weimiya Shirou, who projects the [Reverse Tooth Flying Sword] (Laila's weapon).

“Because a trap was set up in that location, they shot an arrow to expose their position.”

Her reaction and speed were too fast, so fast that even the magic trap could not keep up. Ryu left the range of the trap almost instantly.

Then, what greeted her was an explosion behind her.

Ryu was not harmed by the magic sword or the [Muse's Thunder] trap in any way. However, because of the time delayed by the trap and the magic sword, the others had already caught up.

Especially with a straight charge, when that first-class armed [Golden Battle Spear] is raised, her impact is really as unstoppable as a chariot.

Even Ryu, a first-class adventurer of Lv.5, does not want to face the frontal impact of the chariot, especially when there is more than one enemy now.

The second one to catch up was [Black Fist] Runoa. This former bounty hunter has stronger physical fitness and destructive power than the cat girl Anya. The combination of the development abilities of [Punch], [Crush], and [Fist Fighter] makes her fist more dangerous than a weapon. Every blow can easily smash rocks, leaving terrible bullet holes in the floor or walls.

After repelling the two Lv.4 second-class adventurers, Ryu did not continue to entangle with them, but chased after Weimiya's direction.

Relying on the speed of a Lv.5 first-class adventurer, Ryu quickly rushed into the smoke and caught up with the hooded figure. At this time, the figure under the windbreaker reached for the dagger in his arms—

“How did you find out, nya? I clearly imitated the young man's physique.”

Runoa: “I told you that disguising as Shirou is not reliable, [Black Cat]. You might as well block her head-on with us.”

Anya: “Can Shirou-kun hold on for the last minute, nya…”

“Alas, the cats are going to lose again, nya.”

However, on the other side, Weimiya did not give up easily.

Anya and the others' efforts were not meaningless. Thanks to their consumption and delay, not only did Ryu's condition decline, but it also bought Weimiya time to recover magic power and chant.

“Experience this true rainbow, [Fake Spiral Sword (Caladbolg)]—”

Chapter 125: Training and Picnic.

The spiral sword body, like a vortex leading directly to the sea abyss, flickered with seven colors of light. Compared to the original, which possesses the power to pierce mountains and divide the earth, the projected product in Weimiya's hand seems dim, but it can still bloom with the ultimate splendor in an instant.

The flames of [Red Flower Clover] are sealed in the blade, forming a more extreme and violent magic power circulation. The induced high temperature distorts the surrounding air.
