Chapter 120: Killing a Lv3 Adventurer While Underleveled! The Final Victor of the War Game!

Chapter 120: Killing a Lv3 Adventurer While Underleveled! The Final Victor of the War Game!

"So, have you ever seen me in my full-glory stance?"

"."

When Liam's white, demonic left hand, fitted with a chain limiter, gripped another short sword and was displayed before him.

The ferocious smile on Hyakinthos's face gradually became grave.

He didn't know what Liam's white demonic hand had encountered, but the feeling it gave him was one filled with ominousness and eeriness!

The speed at which the two consecutive battles had ended was very fast.

Recalling it now, from beginning to end, this guy had maintained a single-handed sword stance.

"Could it be that from the very beginning, Liam never went all out?"

When this thought surfaced in Hyakinthos's mind, his figure unconsciously retreated, even though the battle hadn't truly begun.

The oppressive feeling coming from Liam was gradually materializing!

There were no other choices.

Gambling the strength of all the adventurers in the Familia, bearing the expectations of Lord Apollo.

Hyakinthos knew that he had to win this arena battle no matter what. His eyes never left Liam.

He just coldly ordered, "Proceed according to the original plan."

"Stall for time."

His idea was simple: to bet that Liam's "Drawing Sword" had a huge consumption and could be dodged with prior preparation.

Then use the tracking magic he had mastered to attack.

As long as Liam couldn't instantly end the battle, Hyakinthos was confident that, even at a painful price, he would win!

It was just that.

Sometimes, ideas seem too perfect…

While the Apollo Familia members were executing their tactic and surrounding him, Liam was also preparing. They were all unfamiliar faces.

If there was an acquaintance.

It would probably be the "Sun's Favored Emperor" Hyakinthos, this Lv3 adventurer.

His strength was definitely not bad in Orario, especially the magic he had mastered, "Diverso Zephyrus." The specific effect…

Was probably throwing a tracking halo that would explode.

It required chanting a magic spell.

According to the original plot's development, Bell had received an amulet from Syr and ultimately ended the battle with a friendship-powered face-breaking punch.

"."

"If I had awakened."

"Using Extreme Ghost Swordsman - Tempest Style should be able to resolve this even faster, right?"

Just as the members of the Apollo Familia were preparing, Liam's mood was somewhat regretful. This was also the fastest way to end the battle.

To string up this group of adventurers…

He didn't stand there in a daze. He continuously compressed his Selfless Sword Aura, gathering it into his two short swords, which erupted with a brief humming sound.

He could clearly feel the "excitement" of these two... weapons. The moment the battle began, the crisscrossing sweep of the short swords.

Was accompanied by a flash of blade light.

Two sword aura slashes, imbued with flowing light, intertwined and swept towards all the challengers on the arena.

A single sword aura slash was easy to dodge, but if it were two consecutive intersecting slashes, one couldn't say it was a complete, unrivaled mow-down.

But at the very least, it could cause some trouble.

The arena battle was not turn-based. As "Drawing Sword" swept forward.

The power accumulated in his legs instantly exploded. Without a cooldown limit, the path of continuously using Thrusting Smash.

At most, it would put a burden on his body.

Moreover, with the improvement of his ability scores, Liam's current physical constitution had already undergone a qualitative leap compared to the past!

Facing Hyakinthos in front, who was maintaining a safe distance and preparing to chant a spell.

"Thrusting Smash."

A rapid forward push. Even if the single charge distance was limited.

But having long since mastered the usage of the skill, Liam once again pushed forward, his target being the strongest adventurer present.

Hyakinthos.

The circular arena's battle stage was very spacious, but with continuous forward dashes, the distance was visibly shortened each time!

In an instant.

All the pressure was on the Apollo Familia members present. Even having witnessed this special magic, "Drawing Sword," before.

The oppressive feeling it brought when truly facing it was still powerful.

Not to mention, this was two magic attacks used simultaneously... without any visible skill-chanting wind-up.

"Absolutely cannot clash head-on!"

The first Familia companion to enter the stage had already shown the result with his own actions.

If it were an ordinary person.

They would most likely be unable to resist and be directly cut in half at the waist. But with mental preparation in advance, they had a way to cope.

The adventurers in the team, like the mage class, didn't care about their image at all.

They directly dropped prone on the ground to dodge. As for the Lv2 adventurers with more agile bodies, they leaped to dodge.

The originally well-maintained formation was directly broken up.

This was also the result Liam wanted to see. A sweeping, grass-cutting skill like "Drawing Sword" was very effective against monsters.

But when truly facing adventurers.

As long as they prepared for battle in advance, they could dodge it through their physical stats.

Three consecutive "Thrusting Smashes" had already shortened the safe distance the enemy had created. Ignoring the small fry.

His target was clear.

It was Hyakinthos, who was still chanting his skill after dodging the attack.

The moment the battle began, Hyakinthos had realized... things were not as simple as he had imagined. Two consecutive magic attacks.

Had broken the siege formation formed by his Familia members.

Standing at the very back of the team, seeing those two Drawing Slashes gradually dissipate in the air, and Liam coming straight for him.

A heart-palpitating feeling enveloped Hyakinthos.

But even so, he still stood his ground and chanted in a low voice…

"My name is Sin, the wind's jealousy. Call forth a squall to descend upon this body!"

"Unleash a fire wheel! Come, west wind!"

"Crimson Flower!"

A halo, glowing with sunlight and burning with high heat, spun at high speed, appearing in the raised palm of the demonic youth.

It was thrown towards Liam at the fastest speed.

And the figure dashing forward didn't pause at all. It was precisely because of Liam's unexpected move.

That made Hyakinthos's heart race with excitement.

The speed of the yellow light wheel was extremely fast, and its target was locked on Liam. Even if it couldn't end this battle.

As long as it could delay his actions, the odds of victory by siege would be infinitely increased!

"There's a chance…"

"."

Looking at the gradually forming encirclement, Hyakinthos didn't let his guard down, but his gloomy eyes looking at Liam.

His killing intent was almost palpable!

However.

The subsequent crushing battle, for him... or rather, for all the adventurers present, had already reached a level that would leave a psychological scar.

Facing the sweeping magic skill, knowing the tracking characteristic of the light wheel, Liam had no intention of dodging.

Both were tangible attack methods.

There was no reason why "Selfless Sword Aura" would be unable to counter the DanMachi magic system. The overall flight speed of this magic was not fast.

He held the short swords in both hands, allowing for a much greater angle of attack. When he swung, the sword images were imperceptible to the naked eye.

Sword aura slashes, imbued with flowing light, gradually converged in mid-air.

A head-on clash of raw power. Of course, one had to look at the Sword Soul class's "Illusion Sword Dance." Even though he hadn't mastered it at his current level, by relying on his physical stats.

And the training in the strong gravity environment.

Liam didn't think the version he "manually inputted" would be that bad!

Facing the approaching magic light wheel, he finished with a cross-slash. The continuously stacked flowing sword aura slashes.

Erupted forward.

The moment the two attack methods collided, the constantly rotating halo emitting high heat was instantly shattered by the materialized slash.

"Bang!"

The irresistible energy of "Diverso Zephyrus" exploded in mid-air.

And…

The sword aura slash Liam had manually inputted, enhanced by countless buffs, was not hindered in any substantial way.

It swept towards Hyakinthos!

His proudest magic was directly shattered, without even affecting Liam in the slightest. This was something Hyakinthos had not expected.

He had never thought that when facing the tracking of "Diverso Zephyrus."

Liam would choose to stay in place and directly use this completely unimaginable combat method for a powerful head-on clash!

The key was…

His own magic hadn't caused any obstruction!

He looked at the impending sword aura slash, a hint of bewilderment flashing in his eyes. All his plans had been disrupted.

He relied on instinct to dodge backward.

It was just that…

What swept over again was Liam's pursuit with Triple Slash, and the sharp sword attack of a horizontal cut.

The burst of speed was so fast…

It had already exceeded the time Hyakinthos had to react. He had no time to respond, just instinctively gripped his short sword.

Attempting to block.

The result, too, appeared in that short instant.

Even as a Level 3 adventurer, when their weapons collided... Hyakinthos still felt the disparity in strength.

The web of his thumb, unable to withstand the huge force, showed a gruesome wound.

Also a First-Grade armament, the Sun's Flame Sword, whether in terms of power or durability, was top-tier in Orario.

But facing Liam's weapon with Overdrive applied.

When their blades collided, it basically had no ability to resist. Cracks visibly appeared, and finally, it completely shattered…

It didn't even serve to absorb the force.

Looking at the young man's figure dashing towards him, and the all-out attack, despair enveloped the deepest part of Hyakinthos's heart.

"It's over."

"."

A horizontal cut without any obstruction, and what remained before Hyakinthos's consciousness faded was Liam's murmur.

Flying backward, his body cut in half at the waist.

It symbolized the death of this Lv3 adventurer of Orario, and to some extent, it also represented the end of this War Game!

A battle that ended in a flash. For the Apollo Familia adventurers still remaining in the circular arena, when they reacted…

Their eyes were filled with bewilderment.

But noticing Liam's turning figure, it was replaced by a fear from the bottom of their hearts!

Even a Level 3 adventurer, the strongest in their Familia, Hyakinthos, was crushed when facing Liam. Then what about them, who were weaker…

To continue fighting, what was the difference from sending themselves to their deaths?

Knowing the War Game was over and the Apollo Familia would be disbanded, an adventurer who knew how to read the situation decisively shouted.

"I surrender!"

"This guy is a monster! Why did we have to provoke him!!"

"I surrender too…"

"."

The speed of their surrender was very fast, something even Liam hadn't expected. He had thought that Hyakinthos's death would incite resistance.

When his calm eyes swept over the surrendering crowd.

He could no longer perceive any killing intent…

But rather, a fear from the bottom of their hearts, to the point they didn't even dare to meet his gaze?

Continue the slaughter.

Liam didn't care about shouldering a few more lives, but since he would be developing in Orario in the future, it was necessary to maintain his image appropriately.

This point was very necessary.

Moreover, he didn't think this group of small fry would pose a threat.

Withdrawing his scrutinizing gaze, Liam once again looked behind him, at the god sitting high in the spectator seats, filled with despair.

Apollo.

His smile was relaxed. He gathered the sword intent flowing through his body and asked with a smile, "I'd like to ask Lord Apollo."

"Is there any need for this War Game to continue?"

"."

Sitting in the Apollo Familia's viewing box, Apollo was silent for a moment, his complex gaze fixed on the figure in the center of the arena.

There was no resentment. If one had to say, it was probably…

He was outmatched?

This was an ending he had never imagined. The intelligence he had investigated clearly stated that Liam had registered as an adventurer 20 days ago.

Moreover, it was an arena battle with a huge advantage!

Apollo couldn't think of any reason to lose. Using the stamina consumption of a wheel battle, when Liam was exhausted.

Let Hyakinthos enter the stage…

The result?

Whether it was speed or attack methods, the strength Liam displayed could no longer even be summarized as that of a Lv3 adventurer!

Facing Liam's slightly provocative words, Apollo only felt his mood… unprecedentedly heavy. Especially when he noticed…

The white demonic hand hidden under the grayish-brown cloak.

"."

As a god, he didn't have Freya's eyes that could see through one's essence, but when he saw Liam's demonic hand.

Brutality, ominousness… a curse.

All sorts of complex things, the final product constructed was ugliness!

Disgust…

Until now, Apollo hadn't realized that the entire affair was being orchestrated by Liam. He just felt a sense of self-doubt.

Was doing this really worth it?

The defeat of his Familia's strongest.

Continuing this War Game was undoubtedly sending his once-beloved dependants to their deaths. Then the result was already laid out before him.

A god could not terminate a War Game. That left only one choice: surrender.

Even if he would be expelled from the city of Orario, that could be considered the last thing he, as a god, could do for his dependants.

Apollo stood up.

He took the microphone. Even his tone when surrendering was full of complexity. Finally, he said, "This War Game, I surrender!"

"Please stop this... meaningless slaughter."

"I will fulfill all the conditions of a loser in a War Game. All assets of the Apollo Familia belong to the Hestia Familia."

"Including adventurers."

Joining Liam's Hestia Familia, considering his Familia members, Apollo felt it would be a good choice.

It was just that he had never expected to be refused.

"The latter is not necessary."

Liam waved his hand decisively. Familia development was indeed very important, but the key was that he couldn't just stuff all sorts of demons and monsters into it.

If there were those who really interested him, it would probably be the commander, Daphne.

And…

Cassandra, who had the skill of prophetic dreams and could avoid risks in advance.

"."

Looking at Liam again, confirming that his words were not false, in front of the gods and adventurers in the circular arena.

Apollo's expression was complicated as he made his final statement.

"Then as you wish, I will disband the Apollo Familia…"
