Chapter 270 A Glorious Victory, Rewards Settlement
Seroru Forest.
When the crimson flames that had consumed all things and purified all filth receded like the tide, all that remained before people was deathly silence and boundless scorched blackness!
The flames burned for several kilometers.
As crimson flames swept across, the hideous remains of giant beasts, the surging filth and blood, the twisted vegetation—every trace of the filthy immortals, along with the earth beneath their feet, were all flattened by the extreme heat!
The earth was covered with a thick, loose layer of black ash, and deep within the cracks, faint, sickly dark red embers peeked out, emitting a pungent, burnt smell.
The LV.7 Heavenly Ox (Filthy Fairy Essence) was completely wiped out, not a single cell remained.
The power of the elven holy sword astonished countless people; in the blink of an eye, it drew upon the surrounding magic to unleash a spell comparable to an extremely long incantation.
The battle prostitutes of the Ishtar Familia were dumbfounded. If Roy had drawn that sword from the beginning, wiping them out would have been a piece of cake!
The Astrea Familia actually went easy on us!
"Hahahaha!"
Aisha, Samira, and the others let out bitter laughs, thinking how their goddess dared to provoke the other party.
Orario is known as the "center of the world," a place where various forces gather, a place where hidden talents abound, and no one knows what kind of monsters or demons might suddenly appear.
This time, they have undoubtedly kicked a hornet's nest.
The gods stared at the elven holy sword in Roy's hand, a top-tier piece of equipment on par with Riveria's "Great Elf." Logically, it should be a renowned artifact, and they had no idea how Roy had acquired it without receiving a single word from him.
Most of the gods descended to the mortal realm after the death of ancient heroes; they are not omniscient or omnipotent.
However, a very small number of elves and old scholars who were quite knowledgeable about ancient history frowned when they saw the elven holy sword, and a thoughtful look appeared in their eyes.
[Successfully hunted the LV.7 Heavenly Ox (Filthy Fairy Spirit). Congratulations on obtaining 100 attribute points, Fairy Spirit Flesh and Blood, and the Great Tree Sea Treasure Map!]
Name: Immortal Essence Flesh and Blood Level: Legendary Description: The most refined flesh and blood of the immortals. Consuming it grants the immortal bloodline, with a certain probability of increasing magical talent, magical affinity, awakened magic, awakened skills, and granting high-speed casting.
Note: Bloodline power can be inherited by offspring!
Name: Great Tree Sea Treasure Map Level: Undetermined Description: A treasure map to find the ruins of Sigmund in the Great Tree Sea. It contains a teleportation spell; after use, you will be automatically teleported to the treasure location. Please proceed with caution!
Note: A maximum of two people can be transferred!
After successfully defeating the Heavenly Bull, Roy received a reward, and several panels popped up in front of him.
Roy scanned the text quickly.
The system's attribute point rewards are determined based on his strength; at LV.7, he defeated a LV.7 Heavenly Peony.
Wow, 100 attribute points is fine, thankfully level doesn't affect the items that drop.
Immortal essence and flesh, legendary quality. Consuming it grants one a semi-immortal bloodline similar to the Clozo family, followed by a series of dazzling effects.
It can even be inherited, bringing blessings to future generations!
Roy's gaze fell on the final reward.
Another treasure map!
Moreover, the location mentioned above is none other than "Da Shu Hai" (Great Tree Sea)!
One of the three great secret realms of this world (Dungeon, Dragon Valley, and Great Tree Sea).
The last treasure hunt granted him the Elven King's authority and the Elven Holy Sword, which were crucial to his growth. The treasures hidden within the Great Tree Sea are likely even more valuable.
Roy's adventurous spirit burned brightly.
Before he could be excited for long, the "level-up" period ended, the dazzling golden particles on his body dissipated, and Roy felt as if his body had been hollowed out, and that invincible power suddenly disappeared.
It felt like falling from the clouds to the bottom of a valley.
Roy frowned. He felt that the "Level Ascension" spell should be used with caution, mainly because the overlap of Synchro Contracts and the leap of two levels was too great, which could easily cause him to misjudge his own strength.
Unlike the previous level trial cards.
He was too weak at that time; the power of LV.6 and LV.7 was equally powerful to him.
He is currently at LV.5, not too far from LV.7, which makes the distinction between the two blurry for him.
Of course, it should be used when necessary!
This thing is like a nuclear bomb from a past life. You don't need to use it normally, but you can't be without it in your own home!
Name: Roy Level: 5
Strength: 288 (G)
Endurance: 235 (G)
Dexterity: 418→518 (D)
Agility: 1028 (SS)
Magic: 96 (I)
Development Abilities: Adventure (E), Abnormal Resistance (F), Forging (D), Invincibility (G)
Skills: My Lord is Here, Divine Descent, Earth Power (Incomplete), Blood for Blood, Elven Kingship, Intuition.
Magic: Lord of Thunder, Life-Bound Dream, Dimensional Obstruction, Wind of Light, Noah's Healing.
Roy's mind raced, and his ability panel popped up. He then added the attribute points he had gained to Dexterity.
After a fierce battle, my abilities have improved somewhat, but not much, because under the "Level Up" state, the ability points gained from self-growth are halved, and the difficulty of accomplishing great deeds will increase accordingly.
Normally, with his LV.5 strength, he could accomplish great things by defeating a LV.6 monster.
However, using Synchro Contracts and Level Ascension to raise your strength to LV.7 means facing stronger enemies, so this thing has both advantages and disadvantages.
If you rely too much on daily training and combat, you'll achieve half the results with twice the effort, and you'll lose so much money you'll be spitting blood.
call out!
Moments later, reinforcements from the Loki Familia, Ganesha Familia, and other families arrived. The high-level adventurers were faster than the monsters and rushed over.
Finn, Riveria, Ais, Shakti, Asifi, and others appeared on the battlefield.
Upon seeing the devastated landscape, everyone gasped in shock. Without the Mirror of the Gods after leaving Orario, they had no idea what had happened.
Shakti asked with concern, "Liang, are you alright?"
"Um!"
Liu nodded slightly. She had some minor injuries, but they weren't serious. Don't underestimate a Level 6 body.
"Roy, where's the monster?"
Finn, Riveria, and the others approached Roy, looked around, but did not see the Heavenly Bull. A terrible guess surfaced in their minds.
"You're late," Roy said with a smile.
Finn, Riveria, and the others smirked. That was a level 7 monster, and it even had the power of fairy essence!
It would take Loki's Familia a considerable amount of time to prepare and for all its members to be ready before they could possibly defeat it! In the end, Astrea's Familia only sent four members!
The growth rate is too fast!
Finn, Riveria, and the others looked at Roy, Ryu, Tione, and their group, filled with emotion.
Unbeknownst to them, the Astrea Familia had already appeared behind them, closing in step by step, and was only one step away from becoming the "strongest" Familia in the city!
boom-!!
Just then, the entire world suddenly fell silent. A magnificent and awe-inspiring aura came from afar, interrupting Roy and the others' conversation. Everyone turned to look in Orario's direction, their eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.
A pure white beam of light, whose vastness and magnificence defy description, slowly rose into the sky, suddenly tearing through the white clouds and ascending into the depths of the heavens.
The light was pure, magnificent, and contained the supreme power of the rules. It instantly dispelled the smoke and filth that filled the air above the battlefield, illuminating an area of hundreds of kilometers around as if it were a sacred daytime!
The gods have returned it!
People only need to look at that pillar of light from the sky to understand what has happened.
The whole world fell silent, as if solemnly silenced by the sacred pillar that pierced the heavens and the earth!
The source of the beam of light is the Tower of Babel in Orario!
The deity who was returned was Ishtar; the war game had failed, and her fate was sealed.
At the top of the Tower of Babel, the goddess Astraea threw Ishtar off, a smile on her face. "Ishtar, repent well in the heavens!"
Ishtar's piercing screams echoed through the heavens and earth as a wave of regret washed over her. Why had she been so foolish as to provoke the Astrea Familia?
A god who suffers a fatal wound automatically triggers divine power to repair his body, violating the covenant of the gods.
The gods nearby trembled with fear.
As the pillar of light dissipated, the people in the Serol Forest were shocked and looked at each other in disbelief.
After a long pause, someone timidly asked, "Which deity was sent back to Heaven?"
The answer is obvious.
The battle prostitutes of the Ishtar Familia turned pale and burst into terrified cries.
The gods were returned, but the divine grace of all their followers was locked away, and they lost all their power, instantly transforming them from powerful adventurers into ordinary people.
Roy had just experienced that feeling of falling from the clouds to the abyss, but it was even more tragic for these combat prostitutes, whose future was bleak.
Aisha and the others looked dejected.
The men of Ishtar were in utter despair; their beloved goddess had been returned, and their faith had been shattered.
"The goddess Ishtar has been returned!"
Rivera said softly, a strange light flashing in her beautiful emerald eyes. The speed at which justice was carried out was too fast, decisive and ruthless.
Ishtar could no longer descend to the mortal realm and remained forever in the heavens. Even with her omnipotent divine power, she could only vent her anger on the air and was tormented by endless loneliness.
It's different from the time with the Apollo clan.
The Astrea Familia and the Ishtar Familia have a blood feud, a fight to the death to determine who is superior!
In the end, the Astrea Familia prevailed!
"See you at the tavern tonight, everyone! All expenses will be on the Astrea Familia!" Roy said with a smile, his gaze sweeping over the many Familia members who had come to help.
"Ooooooooooo!"
The adventurers erupted in thunderous cheers, their long journey worthwhile.
As for the Ishtar Familia, no one cares about the fate of the losers; they're lucky they weren't purged.
The group returned to Orario.
Upon entering the city, countless adventurers and civilians lined the streets to watch the returning Astrea Familia, showering them with flowers and applause.
Through the information revealed by the gods and the images shown in the divine mirror, people have understood the cause and effect, and the Ishtar Familia deserved to die.
The streets were packed with people, all eager to catch a glimpse of Roy and the others.
Yamato no Mikoto, Kashima Sakura, Hitachi Chigusa, and the others from the Takemikazuchi Familia had mixed feelings. They were truly grateful that they had dared to challenge the opponent and hadn't been killed.
Fortunately, after the culprit, the goddess Ishtar, was returned, the Astrea Familia seemed to have no intention of punishing the others.
Sanjou Haruhime's situation is not too bad.
This was also because the remnants of the Ishtar Familia posed little threat and held little resentment. After all, they knew the ins and outs of the matter better than anyone else, so they had no desire for revenge.
Guild Headquarters.
When the guild members saw Ishtar's Familia wiped out and the LV.7 Heavenly Bull annihilated, every muscle on their faces seemed to stiffen.
They speculated that either the Astrea Familia would be decisively defeated, or they would suddenly unleash their power while shouting "friendship, bonds, and such."
I never expected it to turn out like this.
A complete and utter rout! A decisive and utter rout!
The Ishtar Spring Clan, rated A by the guild, was utterly defeated by the Astrea Familia. Even when they violated the rules by summoning a monster with fairy power, they were still killed by Roy and his companions!
"Eina, congratulations!"
The guild members looked at the half-elf girl, hesitated, and after a long while, finally said this: Before the battle, they didn't think much of the Astria Familia, but this dark horse pulled off a huge upset!
Thinking back to how they had treated Eina coldly before, they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at this moment.
"Thanks!"
Eina smiled broadly, like a hundred flowers blooming, bright and lovely, and then ran out.
Watching her retreating figure, the guild members looked on with envy. Astria Spring Clan was now a powerful force; whoever could latch onto them would be on the verge of reaching the pinnacle of their lives. Unfortunately, they had already missed their best opportunity.
Orario, Flame Bee Pavilion.
The entire venue was booked out, and the Astrea Familia hosted a victory celebration banquet, which included members of the Loki Familia, the Ganesha Spring Clan, and others.
Even the gods gathered together.
"Cheers——!"
A thunderous cheer, brimming with passion and almost lifting the roof off, exploded in the noisy hall. Gods and adventurers raised their goblets filled with nectar—amber-colored ale, deep red wine, and crisp fruit wine—which shimmered alluringly under the lights!
Ding ding ding!
The crisp, muffled, and unrestrained clinking of glasses rose and fell, weaving together a vibrant symphony as crystal-clear wine spilled out.
Among the gods, one can see many familiar figures: Hermes, Demeter, Ganesha —
Although these gods came uninvited, bringing their families along, Roy didn't care. He was now rolling in money and didn't care about such a small amount of money.
Ishtar was returned, the Familia was disbanded, and all the Familia's assets fell into Roy's hands.
They didn't have much cash, most of which was spent by that spendthrift Ishtar, but they had countless fixed assets such as real estate and magic stone equipment.
Its value is estimated at around 1.5 billion Fares.
Roy also had money he won from the casino, and later, because of his betting, many people followed suit and got a share of the profits, causing the odds to drop.
But it also amounts to a full 3.9 million falies!
Roy was certain that he wouldn't have to worry about money for a long time to come.
Meanwhile, after a full day of discussion, the guild's leadership finally raised Astraea's rating to S.
The ranking was determined after considering various factors, including not only the strength of the clan members but also their economic strength.
Orario welcomes its fourth S-rank Familia.
The Astrea Familia is stronger than the Ganesha Familia, second only to the Freya Familia and the Loki Familia, ranking third among the S-class Familias!
