The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

#166 - Section 166

Allen walked slowly until he was almost within reach of Anya.

“Don't come any closer, [Chariot of the Goddess]!”

“Shirou!”

Anya looked up and cried out in surprise.

Allen's eyes instantly turned extremely gloomy, the cold smile on his face disappeared, replaced by twisted anger.

However, in the instant they crossed paths with Allen, the two sisters, who had already exhausted more than half of their stamina, were blasted away.

Allen's fist, carrying overwhelming power, rapidly magnified in his eyes, aiming straight for his face.

[Skill Effect Activated]

Previously, he was clearly attacking from the front, but now, he had already circled around, appearing behind Wei Gong in a bizarre manner, his fist stopping an inch away from Wei Gong's occiput.

Wei Gong's breathing was rapid, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, he didn't turn around, nor did he look back at Allen, he only gripped the sword in his hand tightly.

He took three steps back, and then—

The cat-person's fist solidly struck Wei Gong's shoulder, the enormous power directly sending Wei Gong flying, staggering many steps before barely managing to steady himself, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

His gaze gradually shifted from anger and distortion to extreme silence.

Ais, riding the wind, her golden hair dancing wildly in the air, was rushing over from the other end of the town.

From a higher place—above the distant sky, a horrifying gaze stared at the cat-person.

Tione glared angrily in the direction Allen left, cursing without any politeness: “What the hell, that damn cat-person, what's with the sudden madness!”

Her eyes were also full of anger, if Allen hadn't left so quickly, without a doubt, she would have fought this Freya Familia vice-captain to the death, even knowing that the other party's strength far exceeded her own Lv.6.

First, there were the suddenly appearing plant-type monsters, then the red-haired woman who attacked Ais.

In addition, there was also that first-class adventurer wearing a cloak and dragon scale armor, fighting alongside Ais, whose identity was unknown—they failed to recognize that it was actually a monster.

But what annoyed them the most was the [Chariot of the Goddess], Allen Fromel, who inexplicably joined the battlefield, swept away the monsters, and then suddenly attacked Wei Gong.

He remembered that at the very beginning, when the former Freya Familia captain, Mia, introduced him to the various familias, she did not recommend the Freya Familia.

Wei Gong had also spent some time with the [Black and White Fairies], Heding and Hegen, and he could unreservedly praise their character, Heding and Hegen were indeed good people.

“Are you alright, Anya?”

Wei Gong reached out his hand and asked with concern.

Wei Gong pulled her up, steadying her body.

At this time, Lefiya walked over, asking with a face full of doubt: “Ais-san, who was that person who was fighting alongside you just now?”

She only looked up, gazing at the false sky within the Dungeon.

Wei Gong looked at Ais: “Ais, what about that enemy… did you guys defeat her?”

Ais's expression slightly froze, she shook her head: “No, she escaped.”

In the battle, Ais and Vigne had successively cut off one of her arms and one of her legs, and also left countless fatal wounds on her body.

Ais even slashed the opponent into two halves, upper and lower, with a single sword strike, even so, she was still able to move her body with one hand supporting herself.

That red-haired woman was not human at all—in comparison, Vigne seemed even less like a monster.

The four torches crackled, the flickering firelight illuminating the stone altar. Ouranos sat on the divine throne, deeply immersed in that silence, seemingly merging with the stone chair.

After a moment, he slowly opened his tightly closed lips.

“Fels.”

His voice was low and calm, echoing within the solemn space of the altar, like a summons to the unlit darkness.

A response came from the darkness beyond the reach of the torchlight.

Her face was hidden under the hood, no light could penetrate that deep shadow, completely obscuring her features, the hand exposed outside her robe wore a similarly dark glove, with intricate patterns drawn on it.

If Ryu were present at this moment, she might recall a lesson that Professor Frianne of the [Academy District] had taught her during her travels.

This person existed in history books, a figure from hundreds of years ago.

Ouranos sat on the divine throne, slightly raising his head, and continued to ask in a low voice: “That one, among our ‘allies’, a newly born ‘friend’, have you met her?”

Fels was silent for a moment, as if considering his wording, and then said: “Very special, among the already very special ‘Xenos’, she is also the most unique… Moreover, she is very powerful.”

If the difference in talent between humans is like the contrast between refined steel and black iron, then the difference between the races of monsters is like the difference between the bright moon in the sky and the fireflies on the ground.

Ouranos remained silent, as if digesting Fels's evaluation.

“The Unknown of the Lower World”, “The Unknown of the Dungeon”, now, Fels was also beginning to understand the saying that the gods always had on their lips.

“To be honest, she is strong enough to make people feel dangerous.”

“Although it is difficult to clearly say whether she can surpass that line, I believe that it shouldn't take too long for her to grow to a level comparable to a Lv.7 [King].”

However, although the method of obtaining growth by devouring magic stones can lead to extremely rapid strengthening in the early stages, it has its limits.

When growth reaches a bottleneck, Xenos must also continue to strengthen themselves through constant training and combat. Moreover, compared to adventurers with the “Divine Blessing” system, it is much more difficult for Xenos to break through.

And Vigne's potential and upper limit are obviously much higher than Lyd's. Not only that, but she is now also showing an innate warlike instinct and a rapid learning ability.

Fels lowered his head slightly, thought for a moment, and then continued: “Even now, apart from those two major familias, it is already difficult for other forces to limit that Dragon Girl.”

Ouranos nodded slightly, and said calmly: “Then, she is trustworthy.”

Ouranos's gaze was still deep, and he slowly said: “Let them do it. If that kind of thing really exists, then it must be an enemy of the city.”

Chapter 251: Monsters and Humans, Two Festivals.

This was a small meeting, attended by only four people—the three leaders of the Loki Familia, [Brave] Finn, [Nine Hells] Riveria, [Goliath] Gareth, and Wei Gong.

In terms of the right to speak, as one of the city's leading blacksmiths, Wei Gong not only earned a reputation for his extraordinary forging skills, but also demonstrated powerful strength comparable to a first-class adventurer after defeating the Amazon warrior Tione in a head-on confrontation.

Just then—

An arrow came whistling, carrying a strong wind, and slammed into the ground in front of Allen's feet.

Womiya's voice came from a distance, his eyes staring at Allen as sharp as a blade.

The next moment, Allen's figure disappeared.

Without any hesitation, the Amazon sisters immediately stood in front of Womiya.

In Womiya's vision, the figure of the small cat person suddenly approached, his swift figure almost impossible for him to see clearly.

【【Oath Under The Snow】】

In the next instant, Allen's movements seemed to be frozen in time, and he suddenly stopped moving forward.

At the same time, a black long sword—【Futsu-no-Mitama】, its tip also hovered in front of Allen's abdomen, only an inch away.

"Heh heh—"

A twisted smile appeared on the cat person's mouth, due to extreme anger.

"Boom!"

Allen suddenly charged forward, while Womiya quickly turned around.

At the same time, a narrow sword mark appeared on Allen's armor, on his chest.

Allen lowered his head, looking at his chest, which was not injured, but only had a layer of armor cut open.

At this time, the Amazon sisters, who had climbed back up from the ground, went around to Allen's back from Womiya's sides, their swords crossed, ready to block him.

Allen raised his head, took a deep look at Womiya, and then turned and left without saying a word.

Chapter 250: Return and the Irregular.

Her tone was very angry, obviously very dissatisfied with Allen's sudden attack.

Tiona was also rubbing her shoulders, having been blasted away by Allen's elbow using 【Goddess's Chariot】, although she was not seriously injured, she still felt bursts of pain.

For the Amazon sisters, today was really an annoying day.

From getting up to now, the strange things they saw and experienced happened one after another, making their heads confused.

After that, they even encountered a being similar to the Filth Spirits of the fifty-ninth floor, except that the Filth Spirit was weakened and no longer as terrifying as before.

Strange things happen every year, but there are too many today.

Tiona: "Although I don't want to say it so rudely... but do the people of the Freya Familia have something wrong with their minds?"

Hearing this, Womiya didn't know what to say for a while: "Um... well..."

Mia's meaning was that Womiya's mental state was not suitable for the Freya Familia... In fact, this was a euphemism.

However, to say that there was nothing wrong with their mental state—Womiya really couldn't judge it with peace of mind.

He helplessly twitched the corner of his mouth and walked towards Anya, who was curled up to the side.

Anya lowered her head and said softly: "Thank you, Shirou."

Tiona seemed to want to ask something, but was pulled back by her sister Tione, signaling her not to speak first.

Ais just shook her head gently and didn't say much.

In the distance, Vigne was floating in the air, watching their direction.

She did not land, just watched quietly for a while, then turned and left quietly.

She recalled the battle just now, the red-haired woman's vitality was simply terrifyingly strong, reaching an incredible level.

However, no matter how serious the injury, the red-haired woman could always recover quickly, her vitality seemed to be endless.

Until the end, a huge man-eating flower monster suddenly drilled out from the ground, swallowed the red-haired woman, and then quickly disappeared into the ground.

Womiya said: "In any case, let's return to the surface first, and we'll talk about anything when we get back to the Familia."

He placed his arms flat on the armrests of the divine throne, and the drooping hood covered most of his face, only a pair of pale blue eyes peered out from under the brim, gazing far into the distance at the steps.

Loki had just left not long ago, leaving a piece of tranquility on the altar.

"Yes, I am here, God Ouranos."

A figure wrapped in black robes appeared from the shadows of the altar.

The person was wearing a jet-black robe, without exposing even a bit of skin, the whole person seemed to be condensed from darkness.

Fels's voice was low and neutral, without any obvious gender characteristics, making it difficult to judge whether it was a man or a woman.

Fels, title 【Sage】, she is a powerful magician and magic tool maker, and also the inventor of the legendary 【Philosopher's Stone】.

Fels nodded lightly and replied: "Yes, I have met her, I met her under the introduction of Lord 'Rido'."

Ouranos's gaze did not fluctuate in the slightest, he paused slightly, and continued to ask: "How do you feel?"

Ouranos did not speak, just listened quietly.

Fels continued: "Her main body is the Dragon Girl Vigne, and her potential ability can reach Lv.4 at most, a dragon species with very strong 'Strength' and 'Magic Power'. Therefore, in terms of potential, she is the strongest among the Irregulars."

As a starting point, Vigne as a dragon girl has surpassed the end point of many other Irregulars.

And Fels continued: "More importantly, her talent, aptitude, and will in combat are unparalleled... Her innate swordsmanship is simply beyond my comprehension."

Fels paused, her gaze deep.

As an Irregular, Vigne does not have the skills and magic of adventurers with infinite possibilities.

On the other hand, Irregulars have the talent of devouring magic stones and rapidly growing their ability values.

For example, Rido, the lizardman who is one of the leaders among the Irregulars, his strength is equivalent to a Lv.5 adventurer, and it is difficult to break through to Lv.6 even if he continues to devour more magic stones.

But on the other hand, before reaching a bottleneck, the growth rate of Irregulars is unimaginably fast.

Most adventurers need to spend a year or even longer to raise a level, while a well-qualified Irregular can grow to be able to compete with a Lv.5 adventurer in just a few months.

Ouranos asked: "Dragon Girl, has she killed any adventurers?"

Fels replied: "She has killed some poachers who hunted Irregulars, but there are no other records."

Fels: "I understand, God Ouranos."

He seemed to have thought of something, and then added: "The Loki Familia is now searching for the dungeon entrance in the city."

"Moreover, when all is said and done, if the Loki Familia really wants to do something, no one but Freya can stop them."

"That's the way it is, Riveria, Finn-senpai, Gareth-senpai."

Now, for Womiya, it is completely without any sense of incongruity to talk to the three leaders of the Loki Familia on an equal footing.

From the point of view of trust, Womiya can almost be regarded as an honorary Loki Familia member—correspondingly, Riveria is an honorary Hephaestus Familia member.

Therefore, the weight of his words can even surpass Ais and the others, and be equal to the three seniors of the Loki Familia.
