DanMachi: Starting with a Sword Soul Template

Chapter 128: Special Ability Against Freya! You Guessed the Identity, What Reward Do You Want?

Whether it was his level-up speed or his ability scores…

Liam, at his current stage, had already reached an extremely exaggerated level. Having truly registered as an adventurer and started exploring the Dungeon, it had only been a little over 20 days.

Directly leaping from a new adventurer to a Level 3, a power that surpassed the vast majority of adventurers in Orario!

Even with the facts laid bare, Hestia hadn't fully digested the news. She just continued to straddle Liam's back.

"Really…"

"So exaggerated."

"To raise his adventurer level to Lv3 in such a short time, and with all ability scores reaching their theoretical limits."

"Phew…"

After completing the level sublimation, all the ability scores accumulated at Lv2 were transformed into Liam's latent potential.

Next up was the choice of a Development Ability.

Unlike the last level sublimation, the special Development Ability "Sword Soul" did not appear again. As for what was available to choose from now.

Hestia's gaze swept over them simply, finally asking.

"Liam-kun, regarding Development Abilities, currently there's Minotaur Slayer, War Criminal... and also a resistance that can grant immunity to all negative statuses."

"Do you have any thoughts?"

"."

Minotaur Slayer was probably generated from continuously killing Dungeon Minotaurs. As for the Development Ability, War Criminal.

Liam's expression was unavoidably strange. Facing Hestia's puzzled gaze.

He hesitated for a moment, but still spread his hands and said, "Minotaur Slayer... is not very useful. As for the War Criminal Development Ability."

"I didn't lose, on what grounds am I a war criminal?!"

"."

The atmosphere was briefly silent. Mainly because Hestia thought of the War Game with the Apollo Familia, which seemed passive but was in fact orchestrated by him.

Paired with Liam's words.

She cast her gaze towards the last available Development Ability, "I actually think Abnormal Resistance... this Development Ability is quite good."

"Theoretically, it can grant immunity to all negative effects."

"Mm…"

"Including charm and such." From a macro perspective, the effect of this Development Ability was excellent. In the future, even if other members of the opposite sex.

Approached Liam with ill intentions, he could probably be directly immune.

And as Hestia explained, the final choice was laid before Liam. As for the abilities "Minotaur Slayer" and "War Criminal."

Their appeal was not nearly as great as "Abnormal Resistance."

It could be said that with this Development Ability, he could single-handedly defend against the Goddess of Beauty Freya's charm. If one had to speak of regrets.

It was probably that he could no longer use Mikoto's "Futsunomitama" skill for training.

To gain certain gifts, one was destined to lose some things.

"I'll choose this one."

And facing Hestia's questioning gaze, Liam quickly made a decision, saying with a relaxed smile, "Abnormal Resistance!"

"Considering everything comprehensively…"

"Abnormal Resistance is indeed the best choice. After all, exploring deeper into the Dungeon, who knows if the monsters will have some special abilities."

Hestia didn't think that far.

Purely from an objective viewpoint, she agreed with Liam's choice. After selecting the Development Ability, she made a rubbing of his status.

Liam Moon

Lv3

Strength: i0 丨 Endurance: i0 丨 Dexterity: i0 丨 Agility: i0 丨 Magic: i0

Development Ability: Sword Soul, Abnormal Resistance

Magic: Warlord's Fervor

Skills: Sword Soul Power, Homicidal Intent Perception

"This is the final panel."

Fulfilling her duties as a goddess, and also witnessing the birth of a miracle with her own eyes, Hestia's mood at this moment was uncontrollably excited and proud.

If Liam hadn't wanted to pursue the limit.

Actually, just in terms of his level-up speed, it would definitely have been even faster than now!

The increase in Familia members and adventurer level all needed to be reported to the Adventurer's Guild. Concealment would result in a fine.

All these assets were earned through Liam's hard work.

Hestia certainly wouldn't let the Familia suffer this loss due to her own negligence. She didn't continue to straddle Liam's back.

A simple flip.

But she didn't leave the unprecedentedly soft bed.

Instead, she lay flat beside Liam. The white long dress clung close to her skin, and her already extremely proud figure was perfectly materialized at this moment.

"Let's rest."

"Liam-kun…"

The blush hadn't disappeared from the young woman's face; it was about to spread to her neck.

Actually, this level of intimate contact, back at the abandoned church Familia home, her mood wouldn't have been so flustered.

There were no extra rooms.

When resting... living together was a matter of course.

Having moved to the more spacious Apollo Familia home, or more accurately, "The Hearthfire Manor," Hestia always felt the relationship with Liam…

Was somehow gradually becoming distant.

She had even decided to feign sleep if she were rejected.

"To be precise, it's my honor."

He couldn't let Hestia take the initiative in everything. Their relationship... although it hadn't undergone a substantial change, Liam didn't refuse.

He stood up and put on his short-sleeved shirt.

Just as he agreed, he saw Hestia burrowing under the covers. Many of the words he wanted to say were all stuck in his throat.

"Mm…"

"Let's rest."

Of course, nothing happened during the night. Relationships were about gradual progress. And in the context of DanMachi, Hestia was one of the few…

Goddesses who symbolized purity.

Wanting a substantial breakthrough in their relationship in a short time was currently a bit too difficult.

This was enough.

When the early morning sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows into Liam's bedroom, due to his biological clock, he woke up very early.

Looking at the sweetly sleeping young woman beside him.

Liam silently pulled out his numb arm, inevitably feeling a bit of softness during the process.

After a simple wash-up in the bedroom's bathroom, thanks to the high-intensity training with Takemikazuchi yesterday, his level had smoothly reached Lv3.

To some extent, this had also disrupted some of his plans.

In "The Hostess of Fertility" restaurant, the brief conversation with the former captain, Mia, and the help she had given out of appreciation.

When necessary, he could go to the Freya Familia for a "war baptism."

This sentence.

Liam, of course, didn't take it as a joke. High-intensity combat baptism could bring a qualitative, comprehensive improvement to his ability scores!

But now was not the time.

"This baptism, it's best to wait until after this Familia expedition ends, after updating all ability scores…"

"As for today."

After washing up, the huge Familia home was quiet. Sitting on the soft sofa in the main reception hall, Liam began to think about today's arrangements.

Continue to find Takemikazuchi to hone his martial arts?

Not everyone was as idle as him. Even as a god, Takemikazuchi still needed to go to the fried potato ball shop to work in the morning.

Scouting out weapon forging in advance.

Finding the "Goibniu" Familia to discuss custom-ordering.

As he decided on today's arrangements, the gentle face of the half-elf young lady from the Adventurer's Guild, Eina, inexplicably appeared in his mind.

In Orario, she could be said to be the best guide.

And after the end of this War Game, Liam still hadn't had the free time to find her. Perhaps she could provide help in this regard!

"."

"Good morning, Liam." Having moved from a small rented house to an extremely spacious and luxurious new Familia home, Lili had finally had a truly sound sleep.

Especially after the Familia expedition and War Game ended, her tense spirit was greatly relaxed.

The most direct feeling was her excellent mental state. Seeing Liam sitting on the sofa drinking black tea, the young woman proactively greeted him.

Today was a rest day.

Lili was actually a bit curious why Liam had woken up so early.

"Today... are there any special arrangements?"

"No."

"You all rest well this morning. In the afternoon, you'll need to prepare supplies for the Familia expedition. This time, there won't be any other Familias providing support."

"Just prepare according to our number of members."

It couldn't really be called being a hands-off manager. Mainly, with the current scale of the Familia, there was no need for Liam to subdivide various task arrangements.

Prepare supplies, medicine, and weapons.

Besides that, there was nothing he needed to worry about. Moreover, there was Lili, who had said she would work for him for a lifetime for free.

Ordering her around, Liam had no psychological burden.

"Alright."

Firmly remembering these things, the current Familia assets were completely sufficient. Lili hadn't reached the point of having to ask Liam for money.

It was just that after all matters were arranged.

Although she tried her best to control it, she was still inevitably curious about Liam's schedule, "Liam, then what are your arrangements?"

"Custom-ordering a weapon."

"."

Leaving the Hestia Familia's new home, passing the neatly trimmed garden in front of the manor, feeling the faint fragrance of flowers in the air.

Liam's originally excellent mood became even more pleasant at this moment.

Facts proved that the living environment was a key factor affecting one's mood. Following the bustling morning streets of Orario, his goal was exceptionally clear.

Head to the Adventurer's Guild.

Ask the half-elf Miss Eina if she had time, or if she had any information about the Goibniu Familia.

And after yesterday's War Game, which had fermented, walking on the streets of Orario again, Liam undoubtedly became the focus of all adventurers.

His highly recognizable white demonic hand.

Although the Hestia Familia's exclusive crest had not yet been confirmed.

But this Hestia Familia, originally at the very bottom of Orario, was now a powerful Familia gradually showing its edge!

"."

When one's own strength was powerful, all strange gazes.

Most would be hidden on the surface. Moreover... regarding his own white demonic hand, Liam didn't feel it was something to be ashamed of.

Arriving at the Adventurer's Guild, which he hadn't been to for a long time.

His gaze swept over simply. Many staff members were handling the morning's work, and many adventurers were gathered, waiting to be served.

"She should be at work, right?"

"."

After all, she was the poster girl of the Adventurer's Guild. Liam searched simply and finally found a familiar figure in the reception hall, her face helpless.

Out of politeness.

Liam didn't rashly interrupt Eina's work.

It was just that for the half-elf lady, who had long wanted to end the irrelevant work conversation, Liam's appearance was undoubtedly the key to breaking the stalemate of being entangled.

"."

The young woman's smile was professional. Looking at the young adventurer chattering endlessly, trying to invite her out, she had no intention of continuing the conversation.

She just turned her head and cast a pleading look at Liam.

"He's probably really stuck."

Liam could, of course, feel the young woman's pleading gaze. Thinking that he still had things to trouble her with today, he didn't just ignore it.

He proactively walked towards the reception hall.

As for the young adventurer entangling the poster girl, his gaze just swept over him simply.

Finally, Liam said with a relaxed smile, "Miss Eina, I'd like to take the liberty of asking if you have any free time today?"

"."

A sudden spoiler.

Especially Liam's somewhat familiar handsome young face, made this young adventurer instantly feel an extremely strong sense of crisis.

He hadn't recognized his identity yet.

The young man's displeased face was directly apparent, "Didn't your elders teach you that it's very impolite to interrupt others' conversations?"

A strong lecturing tone, even with a threatening look.

Towards this classic trope of "pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger," Liam really wasn't interested in the slightest. He cast a helpless look at the sly young woman.

The smile on the latter's face was unprecedentedly bright.

Like a little girl who had succeeded in a prank. Also not letting the conflict continue to escalate, Eina's smile remained, but her tone gradually became serious.

"Mr. Bustan, if there's no work-related matter, please don't disturb my normal work."

"Also..."

When defending Liam, her expression was calm, "You've just returned to the Labyrinth City Orario, so you may not be particularly familiar with the current situation."

"This is an adventurer under my responsibility."

"So what?"

Not wanting to lose face in front of Eina, Bustan crossed his arms and continued, "Consultations also follow a first-come, first-served basis, right?"

While saying this.

He also cast a contemptuous look at Liam standing before him, especially at his mutated white demonic hand. Just as he was about to add more.

But when facing the young man's eyes, as calm as an ancient well…

The words he wanted to say were completely stuck in Bustan's throat, especially when he noticed the gazes of the surrounding adventurers who were watching the show.

It was as if…

Pity?

To leave in a dejected manner in front of so many adventurers would be a real loss of face. He rested his hands on the back of the sofa, withdrawing his gaze.

"I'm not done with my consultation, so you just wait honestly!"

"I think you should have heard his name."

Purely wanting to tease Liam.

Who let this guy suddenly bring up the huge matter of a "War Game"? But when it came to a matter of principle, Eina's expression gradually became serious.

Without her usual pleasant attitude.

"Hmm?"

"?"

Completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem, remembering the various rumors in Orario during this period, Bustan still chose to pester her.

He spread his hands helplessly, "There aren't many adventurers in Orario whose names I can remember."

"Don't tell me."

"This adventurer you're responsible for now is that kid who's been in the limelight in the Labyrinth City recently, called Sword Soul Liam Moon?"

"."

The originally somewhat noisy adventurer's hall, with Bustan's words, instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Always standing beside Eina.

When this young adventurer spoke the correct answer, Liam smiled faintly.

"You guessed right."

"So what reward do you want?"
