Chapter 269 A Battle That Shocked Orario, The Wrath of the Goddess
LV.7, what an exciting number!
After the failure to defeat the Black Dragon and the decline of the Zeus and Hera Families, at least on the surface, only two LV.7 adventurers remain in the world: Ota of the Freya Families and Leon Wadenberg of the school district.
Through the Synchro Contract and Haruhime Sanjou's magic "Level Ascension", Roy can temporarily reach this level, a realm called "Strongest"!
Unlike level-based trial cards, this is permanent.
Roy glanced discreetly at Sanjou Haruhime beside him. He was determined to have this fox-girl!
After leaping two major levels, a vast and boundless power, like a starry sea, surged continuously within Roy's body, like a torrent breaking free from all constraints, rushing wildly through every meridian and cell of his limbs and bones with the force of a bursting dam.
My bones are humming, my blood is burning!
The surrounding air seemed to vibrate slightly, and Ryu, Tione, the Battle Prostitute, and the others could clearly feel the powerful pressure emanating from Roy.
A look of astonishment appeared on each of their young faces.
They also knew about Sanjou Haruhime's magic, but judging from Roy's condition, he didn't seem to be LV.6.
In contrast, Roy wasn't overly excited. Leveling up was ultimately not as good as the previous level experience card, as it didn't grant him the maximum ability value.
He was only made a barely qualified goalkeeper at level 7.
"Burn, furnace fire, transform into a dazzling rain of arrows, engulf my enemies. I, in the name of the Agent, command you to bestow upon me the name of Fire Spirit, Fire Incarnation, Fire Queen—"
The filthy fairy spirit on the forehead of the Heavenly Ox chanted at lightning speed, just like the fairy spirit Roy had become. The voice seemed to be accelerated thirty-two times, like noise, making it impossible to understand the specific content.
As the filthy fairy's cold and malicious words fell, a crimson magic circle appeared.
hum!
The surrounding air suddenly twisted and boiled, as if the violent magic was being frantically seized by an invisible hand.
Countless scorching spears burning with pale white flames materialized in front of her, their tips pointing directly at Roy and the others, radiating terrifyingly high temperatures capable of melting gold and fossils!
"call!"
Throughout Orario, from the towering Tower of Babel to the bustling streets, the hearts of all the gods, adventurers, and people who witnessed this scene through the Divine Mirror felt as if they were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
Their breath caught in their throats as everyone stared intently at the blazing inferno reflected in the mirror, a flame capable of incinerating everything in its path!
Fairy spirits are blessed by the world and are the most privileged race besides the gods. They possess magical talents that surpass those of elves and can freely manipulate the magic power in the atmosphere. It is no exaggeration to say that they have an infinite mana bar!
The firepower of the Heavenly Ox (Filthy Fairy) undoubtedly reaches the highest level in Orario.
The only ones who can rival them are Riveria and Hedin Selland when they are at full power.
Gazing at the neatly arranged flaming spears above, the battle prostitutes of the Ishtar Familia turned pale, sensing a deadly danger emanating from them.
A single flaming spear shot is powerful enough to easily kill an adventurer below level 4, and a coordinated barrage would severely injure even a level 6 adventurer.
"hateful!"
The questioning of that fighting prostitute had exhausted Aisha's last bit of strength, leaving her unable to move a single finger. Now, seeing the terrifying magical power of the filthy fairy, her face was extremely ugly. She had brought this upon herself, along with her own idiotic goddess—a bunch of fools!
The girls of the Astrea Familia remained calm. Ryu, Tione, Tiona, Daphne, and Cassandra watched the figure of the boy ahead, revealing their absolute trust in their leader.
"Click—click click—hahahahaha!"
The filthy fairy let out a sharp laugh.
Whoosh whoosh! !
The next instant, these flaming spears, capable of piercing through everything, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the sky and scorching, distorted air currents, shot towards Roy and the others like a meteor shower falling from the heavens!
A barrage of fiery arrows rained down, threatening to incinerate everyone into nothingness!
Seeing this, Roy remained unfazed. If he were still LV.5, then even Professor Riveria's defensive magic "Dimensional Concealment" wouldn't be able to stop the magic of the tainted fairy, and he would have no choice but to fight it head-on by transforming into a fairy!
But now, he's LV.7!
They are on the same level as the other party!
Roy's eyes were calm and deep. He casually raised his right hand, and dazzling golden lightning surged from his palm. The violent lightning suddenly burst forth with a blazing light that tore through the darkness!
The power of magic has increased more than a hundredfold!
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
Under the gaze of countless horrified eyes.
The dazzling golden lightning that had been pulsating in Roy's palm suddenly surged, extending outwards and condensing into a form. In an instant, a giant lightning sword over a hundred meters long, its entire body crackling with violent arcs of electricity, was already in his grasp!
The majestic power of the heavens illuminated the surrounding dim space with a golden glow.
"drink--!"
Roy roared and swung his right arm horizontally. The thunderous greatsword, imbued with destructive power, drew a dazzling golden arc across the sky. Wherever the sword passed, the space was scorched and distorted!
Boom! Boom! Rumble!
The golden, thunderous greatsword swept away the oncoming swarm of fiery meteors with overwhelming force!
The moment the two made contact—
They all let out piercing, mournful cries of unbearable burden, then exploded and scattered with a deafening roar!
Countless turbulent currents of energy, intertwined with pale white and gold, scattered wildly and annihilated each other. The scorching air waves, mixed with fine fragments of lightning, resembled a dazzling fireworks display that suddenly burst open in mid-air.
With a single sweep of his sword, the rain of fire was annihilated!
On the battlefield, inside Orario, those who witnessed this scene stared blankly, their hearts filled with disbelief.
No one expected that Roy would resolve the super-wide-area magic of the Filthy Fairy, which was powerful enough to destroy a city, in such a domineering way.
it's not finished yet.
"roar--!!"
With a roar, Roy's muscles tensed, and the ground beneath his feet could not withstand this inhuman force, collapsing and exploding!
The next moment!
Roy burst forth, his figure as swift as a rocket, instantly appearing before the Heavenly Bull.
His waist was like a full moon, his right arm muscles coiled like an angry dragon, and with a fierce aura that could shatter stars, his fist, wrapped in thunder, slammed down on the steel-colored skin of the Heavenly Bull, which was comparable to orbium!
Bang-!
The terrifying force struck the opponent, producing a dull sound like steel clashing. The colossal body of the Heavenly Bull, as large as a mountain, was violently lifted from the ground and blasted away!
A long trail was left along the way.
The mouths of the battle prostitutes, and even the gods, adventurers, and people of Orario, twitched wildly. Adventurers usually win against monsters with wisdom and strategy; it is extremely rare for them to confront monsters head-on.
Then look at Roy, with that terrifying aura.
The figure vaguely overlaps with that of a certain man—"The Fierce One" Ota?
Everyone's pupils dilated in shock. An answer surfaced in their minds, but no one dared to believe that Roy, at this very moment, had reached the strongest level in the city—
"Click-click-click—!"
Despite enduring such a heavy blow, the "woman" on the forehead of the Heavenly Ox showed no sign of dejection. Her ferocious and eerie smile, her blood-red eyes, and her appearance were a contradictory combination of monstrous madness and celestial rationality.
"Chains of thunder, seal them, I am their agent—" the filthy fairy wanted to chant again.
Her voice had just rang out—"Master destiny, conquer destiny, crush destiny! Instant petrification!"—when Tione's magic was finally complete, the last note of the incantation falling.
"Jormungandr!"
The dark purple light rope, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, snaked and twisted through the air, wrapping around the neck of the Heavenly Bull, like a dog leash.
In that instant, the movements of the Heavenly Ox and the Filthy Fairy ceased, and the chanting stopped.
The entire battlefield suddenly fell silent.
"I always feel like my luck is high when I'm with the captain!" Tione smiled; her magic has a success rate.
With her LV.5 strength, the probability of her successfully controlling the LV.7 Heavenly Ox was no more than 5%! But she actually succeeded, which surprised and delighted her.
Take advantage of his illness to kill him!
Roy charged out, but the level difference was too great; Thione could only control him for three seconds at most, or even less.
call--!
Roy grabbed the tail of the Heavenly Bull, spun around, and the enormous, sky-covering body became as light as a blade of grass in his hands. He swung it in a huge, astonishing arc, creating a terrifying wind pressure that crushed the air, and hurled it away.
Rumble—!
The body of the Heavenly Ox traced an arc through the air before crashing thousands of meters away, like a meteorite striking the continent. The earth-shattering, terrifying roar instantly drowned out all other sounds on the battlefield.
The earth groaned and collapsed, forming a massive crater hundreds of meters deep at the impact site!
The shockwave, carrying massive waves of mud, rocks, and debris like a landslide or tsunami, spread wildly in a ring shape in all directions.
A whirlwind swept through, and smoke and dust billowed into the sky.
"He's helping us?" Aisha asked incredulously, the battlefield against the Heavenly Bull far away from them.
Realizing this, a deep sense of guilt weighed heavily on the hearts of many fighting prostitutes. Amazon was unrestrained, but not ungrateful.
Roy wasn't quite sure about the self-pity of the battle prostitutes, but even if he did, he wouldn't react; his target remained the fox-girl.
Sanjou Haruhime was so moved that she burst into tears.
It really boosted my popularity.
If the favorability rating could be converted into a specific numerical value, we would see that this fox-girl's favorability rating towards Roy has already reached ninety and is rising further, rapidly advancing towards becoming a die-hard fan.
Roy said in a deep voice, "Kill it!"
The girls of the Astrea Familia charged forward with screams, unleashing magic and skills.
Tione's Enraged Attack increases in attack power based on the level of injury and rage. Tiona's Berserk Attack also increases in attack power based on the level of injury.
Ryu's skill "Inheritance of Justice" elevates the effects of everyone's skills to a whole new level.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Roy, Ryu, Tione, and Tiona surrounded the Heavenly Bull, unleashing a continuous barrage of blows, the crisp sound of metal clashing echoing throughout the room.
The most primal, violent, and pure battle!
Faced with the enormous size and impenetrable defense of the Heavenly Bull, all skills became meaningless; only the ultimate clash of strength against strength remained!
Break through the opponent's defenses with pure force!
This soul-stirring scene made everyone who witnessed it feel their blood rush to their heads, their hearts pound as if struck by a heavy hammer, and every drop of blood seemed to roar and boil, filled with a fervor and trembling for ultimate power!
A true adventurer is one who dares to forge ahead when facing an enemy stronger than themselves!
The two sides engaged in a frenzied battle.
"Moo! Awoo ...
The Heavenly Ox let out a furious roar that shattered the clouds, and its massive, mountain-like body struggled to its feet.
The enormous beast charged forward, its four hooves digging wildly into the ground. Each stomp caused the earth to tremble violently, crack, and collapse like a fragile drumhead. It lowered its head and aimed its massive, dark horn, comparable to a divine weapon, at Roy.
Faced with the overwhelming charge, Roy tensed his arm muscles to the limit and struck with lightning speed, grabbing the horns of the bull that was attacking from the sky.
boom--!!
A terrifying roar, deeper than thunder and sounding like stars colliding, suddenly exploded!
Centered on the point of contact between the two parties, the violent shockwave, like a tangible ring of destruction, spread wildly in all directions like a surging wave.
The imagined annihilation did not occur.
Roy's figure trembled slightly, and the ground beneath his feet collapsed into a huge crater due to the reaction force of his impact!
He himself was like a sacred mountain rooted in the world, firmly blocking the destructive charge that was capable of crushing everything.
call out!
Just as the bull in the sky was being held back by Roy.
A slender, golden figure slashed into the battlefield at a speed too fast for the naked eye to catch!
The Elf Flowing Light Dragon Staff in Liu's hand burst forth with a clear and cool light. The tip of the sword sliced through the air and landed with perfect precision on the hard skin of the Heavenly Bull, leaving a fleeting, scorching white mark!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Targeting that position, Ryu, Tione, and Tiona unleashed a devastating barrage of attacks.
Each slash and strike landed precisely on the white mark left by the previous attack.
When the hundredth attack landed! The white mark, repeatedly ravaged, let out a sharp groan of unbearable strain, forming a shocking crack.
"Now!" Ryu's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Tiona gathered all her strength, and her twin blades crashed down with earth-shattering force.
Snap!
A cracking sound, more muffled and heart-stopping than any of the previous impacts!
It withstood hundreds and thousands of violent attacks!
The incredibly tough skin of the Heavenly Ox, as solid as a rock, cracked open, revealing its dark red, fragile flesh.
"The Wind of Light—!"
While attacking, dodging, and moving, Ryu was also chanting magic, her clear, cold voice ringing out.
"Magic" activated. Centered on the elven girl, a complex and magnificent magic circle unfolded. Vast natural magic power gathered wildly, forming hundreds of dazzling emerald green orbs, like emerald stars, which transformed into a meteor shower covering the sky, pouring madly towards the wound on the Heavenly Bull.
Boom! Boom! Rumble—! !!
The continuous, deafening energy explosions were deafening! Each falling orb of light exploded into a blinding emerald-green energy storm, with emerald flames resembling hungry wolves devouring the body of the Heavenly Bull.
The Heavenly Ox let out an extremely painful cry, its massive body convulsing violently, with a huge void supporting its right rear!
The wound that had been cut open was then bombed!
Its thick hind leg was severed at the root, the break a bloody mess, and dark red, viscous blood gushed out like a burst dam, instantly staining a large area of land below.
Having lost a crucial weight-bearing leg, the Heavenly Bull lost its balance and collapsed uncontrollably to the right.
Roy, at LV.7, directly confronted the Heavenly Bull, while Ryu, at LV.6, and Tione and Tiona, at LV.5, unleashed their full power in a frenzied attack, finally breaking through the opponent's defenses.
This efficiency, however, made Roy frown.
The level upgrade only lasts for fifteen minutes, and they don't have time to slowly whittle down the Heavenly Bull's health.
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Roy's calm eyes; now that things had come to this, there was no need to hide it anymore.
Even if the elves and fairies knew that this sword was in his hands, what could they do? He had the confidence to do so!
With a flick of his wrist, Roy produced an ancient-looking longsword in his hand—the Elven Holy Sword.
Buzz buzz buzz—clang!
Just as Roy's palm touched the hilt of the sword.
Sensing the bloodline of the Elven royal family, the originally ordinary holy sword burst forth with an indescribable dazzling light, and the complex and profound runes on the sword body seemed to be infused with life, lighting up one by one!
When Roy, at LV.7, fully activated the Elven Holy Sword for the first time, a sacred, ancient, magnificent, and powerful aura spread out, instantly cleansing the entire area.
"That's—that's—that's?"
The sudden burst of light and the resonance of bloodlines caused the filthy fairy spirit sitting on the bull's head to tremble violently.
Her face, twisted and frenzied, froze, her pupils locked onto Roy's elven holy sword, her eyes filled with disbelief, horror, and a soul-crushing terror.
The adventurers in the city and the gods on the thirtieth floor of the Tower of Babel stared wide-eyed; they were all discerning individuals.
The sword in Roy's hand is extraordinary!
The goddess Hephaestus sat up straight, her crimson eyes fixed on the elven holy sword in the divine mirror, as did the god Gubernius, who was equally skilled in forging.
Loki asked with some curiosity, "Hephaestus, what level is that sword?"
Hephaestus pondered, "Without examining it, I can't be certain, but judging by its appearance, its quality is no lower than that of the great spirit 'Nine Demon Princesses'!"
"What did you say?!"
Loki jumped up as if his backside was on fire.
"The Great Elf" is the highest-grade wand commissioned by Riveria and Loki from a magical superpower!
This staff is known as one of the "Five Supreme Staffs" in Orario and throughout the Nether.
This super-sized wand, inlaid with nine of the highest-grade "magic gems," can amplify the power of magic to its extreme. The wand itself, crafted from "refined metal" and "holy emperor ore," can even be used as a polearm.
Finally, after Loki's persistent haggling, he paid 3.4 million falies, but this did not include the value of the nine "magic gems." The favors owed, the effort and time spent were incalculable.
Even by the most conservative estimate, the true value of the "Great Elf" is over one billion Fali!
Roy casually pulled out a piece of equipment of comparable quality to the "Great Elf," and Loki felt like he was going to explode. What on earth is wrong with this world?
Gubernius chuckled. Most people's attention was focused on the sword, but they didn't know that the ring on Roy's hand was also a heaven-defying piece of equipment.
This feeling, known only to himself, was truly exhilarating, Gubernius grinned.
call out!
In the blink of an eye, Roy's legs were wrapped in a whirlwind as he shot towards the filthy fairy!
-
When the elven holy sword was drawn, the situation reversed completely, and the filthy fairy was terrified.
"Earth, become my shield!"
The filthy immortal spirit chanted rapidly, the ground surged, and countless stones rose into the air, forming a thick layer of armor on the surface of the celestial bull.
However, it didn't work!
Roy swung his sword, the fully awakened elven holy sword, its sharpness unleashed, unstoppable, tearing through the hastily formed rock shield of the filthy fairy spirits without any hindrance!
Just like dealing with the fairy soldiers before.
Sensing the corrupt and evil aura of the celestial spirit, the elven holy sword faintly emitted a crisp sword sound, like an angry roar, even sharper.
puff!
The rock shield, strong enough to withstand a level 6 super long chant spell, was as fragile as tofu in front of the elven holy sword and was easily sliced open.
Immediately afterwards, Roy burst into full speed. His figure moved like a ghost, constantly teleporting past the massive, vulnerable, and mountain-like body of the Heavenly Bull at an absolute speed that exceeded the limits of perception!
Each time it swept past, a deep, dark red wound would appear on the body of the Heavenly Bull.
Ryu, Tione, and Tiona's attacks were not ineffective. The Heavenly Bull, having lost a leg, had its movement speed greatly reduced and could only stand still.
call out!
The elven holy sword moved almost without hesitation, its sharp blade piercing through the opponent's skin with unstoppable force, as if it had a 100% armor-piercing effect.
Less than a minute!
The enormous bull was cleanly and efficiently dismembered by Roy, the butcher, just like he was butchering an ox.
Countless huge pieces of dark red flesh, fragments, and steel-colored skin, mixed with viscous blood, cascaded down!
The earth was stained crimson and reeked of blood.
Under Roy's sword, the Heavenly Bull was like a shattered block, completely dismantled, leaving behind a scene of utter devastation.
A massive, convulsing wreckage!
Only on that broken bull's head remained the beautiful face of the filthy fairy, twisted with fear.
"Why do you have this sword? Why can you use this sword?" the filthy fairy asked in horror.
Roy, of course, could not answer the other party. The elven holy sword pierced through, precisely stabbing the filthy fairy in the heart, and blood gushed out!
The Holy Sword of the Elves cannot harm fairies or the Elf Royal Family, but Roy seemed to sense its will: the filthy fairies must be cleansed!
Burn the heavens!
Roy's mind raced, and he activated the special effects.
Centered on him, the magic power within a radius of tens of kilometers transformed into countless visible, multicolored energy torrents, frantically converging to form a massive energy vortex that covered the sky.
At its very center was the elven holy sword in Roy's hand, gleaming with the light of longing!
The elven holy sword greedily devoured this vast and boundless magic power, and the ancient elven runes on the sword blade, like a ignited star furnace, burst forth with unprecedented dazzling brilliance!
When energy reaches its peak—
boom!!
An intense crimson-gold flame erupted from the sword, its temperature so high that the surrounding space rippled and molten!
The crimson flames completely engulfed the filthy immortal essence, along with the massive, still writhing and twitching remains of the Heavenly Ox, burning them to ashes.
[Successfully hunted LV.7 Heavenly Ox (Filthy Fairy), congratulations on obtaining ————]
The battlefield returned to calm, but the shock in everyone's hearts lingered for a long time. That LV.7 behemoth had been defeated by the Astrea Familia?!
The entire city of Orario fell into a deep, deathly silence.
People felt as if they were rooted to the spot, their legs rooted to the ground like wooden stakes, their eyes fixed on the magic mirror.
The person who was least able to accept this result was, of course, Ishtar in the Divine Hall.
"Impossible—impossible—" Ishtar's face was deathly pale, her lips trembled, and every muscle in her face seemed to be twitching. She tried to comfort herself as if she were having a mental breakdown, telling herself that this was a nightmare and she would wake up soon.
Almost at the same moment, Lily found Lina Tarly, the nominal leader of the Ishtar Familia, and successfully knocked her unconscious, which was equivalent to her defeat.
The victory in the war game is now definitively confirmed!
The image is presented in the divine mirror, leaving no room for doubt.
Under the astonished, amused, and cold gazes of the gods, Ishtar shivered and turned to see Astraea smiling broadly.
But for some reason, Astraea's gentle smile made her feel as if she were walking on thin ice.
Astraea stood up and walked towards Ishtar, whispering, "You lost!"
"Wait, Astraea, I was just joking with you—" Ishtar said in a panic. She hadn't defeated Freya yet and couldn't be sent back to the heavens!
Astraea continued to close in.
Ishtar retreated, cold sweat pouring down her back. The surrounding gods, still gloating, only fueled her anger. A wicked glint rose in Ishtar's eyes; a pale purple light flickered within them. She would bewitch everyone—
*Snap!*
A crisp, clear sound, like a thunderclap, suddenly exploded in the silent Divine Assembly Hall!
Just as Ishtar was about to use her charm, Astraea appeared in front of her as if in a flash, and with a slap of her small hand, she landed a solid and fierce blow on Ishtar's charming face!
That slap in the face!
The force was so great that it felt as if Ishtar had been struck by an invisible giant hammer, her carefully styled hair instantly coming undone, and her exquisite headdress flying out!
Her head was jerked to one side by the tremendous impact, and a clear, bright red handprint gradually appeared and swelled up on her wheat-colored cheek!
The gods were dumbfounded; beyond the war game, there was also a free-for-all between goddesses.
Ishtar was no match for Astrea; the goddess of "justice" possessed overwhelming strength and could easily crush Ishtar with a single hand.
The Ishtar Familia's hunting of Roy and his companions in the dungeon has crossed her line.
Astraea can get angry too!
The hall was completely silent. The gods watched in terror as Astraea ravaged Ishtar, vowing never to anger her again.
What happened next was simple: take Ishtar to the top of the Tower of Babel and push her down—
