Status Update

On their way back from a failed expedition, the Level 5 members of the Loki Familia, who were the vanguard, encountered a terrifying number of Minotaurs.

For ordinary Level 3 and Level 4 adventurers, this might be quite troublesome, but for a group of Level 5 adventurers, the so-called Minotaurs were just a simple matter.

Just as they used lightning speed to confront half of the attacking Minotaurs. Perhaps fearing the huge gap in combat strength, a Minotaur roared and turned its back on Aiz and the others. Then, as if panic spread to the other monsters, the remaining monsters ran towards the beginner's area in a crowd!

The strongest monster on Floor 17 – the Minotaur, actually launched an unexpected collective escape.

"Hey!"

"Hey, what's happening! Aren't you monsters!"

This situation shocked Tiona, Tione, and the others.

The monsters rushed out of the cave and disappeared deep into the corridor.

"Quickly and chase!" Riveria suppressed her doubts and gave the order. Aiz and the others froze in place for a moment, then suddenly came to their senses and began to chase after the group of Minotaurs.

Besides Aiz and the others, there would definitely be other adventurers in the Dungeon.

For those whose abilities met the requirements and were exploring the Dungeon, it would be a nightmare if they encountered a large group of Minotaurs rushing towards them. If they failed to confront the monsters and left many adventurers with no way back, the Guild, or other factions would surely condemn their failure, and more importantly, they would have difficulty sleeping at night.

The Level 5 members of the Loki Familia frantically chased after the Minotaurs.

The ferocious bull monsters ran non-stop. They ran across different floors, and some Minotaurs left the group and scattered, disrupting Aiz and the others' pursuit.

The worst fate for them was that the monsters always found their way to the Upper Floors, ascending one level at a time. To confront the Minotaurs scattered across different floors, the members disappeared from the chase team one by one. In the end, only the remaining Level 5 members of the Loki Familia were left running wild, chasing the Minotaurs all the way to the area near the Upper Floors.

There was no doubt that the Minotaurs had reached Floor 15, it would be bad if they ran further.

The Minotaurs on Floor 17 were the strongest monsters on Level 2, especially some of the Minotaurs, once they appeared in the beginner's area, they would carry out an unimaginable massacre against Level 1 adventurers throughout the floors!

However, the Upper Floors were the floor areas closest to the surface. Only low-level monsters would appear here, and they were all weak. They were also the scope of activity for beginners and other junior adventurers. If they encountered Minotaurs, they wouldn't be able to fight back and would be slaughtered in an instant.

Aiz and Tiona also managed to defeat several Minotaurs, but there were still some Minotaurs that escaped everyone's pursuit and ran to the Upper Floors. In the Dungeon with countless routes, Aiz's unchanging expression hid her anxiety, and everyone else's expressions became more embarrassing.

Everyone rushed up the stairs towards the center of the cave. The Dungeon, composed of light green walls, presented a calmness before the storm. A corridor extended from each side of the square hall, a total of four. No one else was visible.

Among them, Aiz listened attentively and quickly looked around. At this moment...

"ROARRR—!"

It was the sound of a herd of Minotaurs, and this time the beast's roar was filled with cruel murderous intent! Aiz rushed out in one breath, running towards the direction where the screams and roars merged into one. Followed by Bete, Tiona, Tione, Riveria, and Lefiya who was being carried, they also chased after Aiz's back.

Everyone rushed to chase the Minotaurs who had escaped on Floor 15.

Fortunately, some passing adventurers released magic, and a row of giant trees intercepted most of the Minotaurs. Only a few ran away, and Bete was already chasing them all at his own speed.

If nothing happened, there wouldn't be any casualties in the Minotaur incident.

They breathed a sigh of relief. Just as they slowed down and prepared to encircle and kill the Minotaurs, an unexpected figure appeared under the giant trees that reached the sky.

"Hey! It's a herd of beasts!" Tiona shouted unconsciously.

In their impression, the adventurers on this dozen levels weren't necessarily at Level 3. Facing a large herd, it was almost impossible to defeat them.

However, the tall figure still drew his sword without haste.

"Aiz! Stop that person!" Riveria unconsciously issued the order.

At this distance, with Aiz's own speed and magic, it wouldn't be a problem to save the foolish adventurer.

However, no one expected Aiz, who always listened to Riveria's words, to remain completely silent.

Everyone was confused and curious as to why the girl didn't move when everyone suddenly stopped moving.

This girl, who always lacked emotions, rarely showed any expression on her face.

But at this moment, Aiz showed an extraordinary surprised expression.

She widened her eyes and opened her mouth uncontrollably, staring at the current scene.

The Level 5 members of the Loki Familia who came behind them were curious about what was happening.

They directed their sharp gazes forward.

Then, everyone was stunned for a moment!

Amidst the dust and smoke brought by the ferocious beasts in the distance, the figure began to swing his sword!

"Sun Breathing First Form: Dance!"

"Second Form: Clear Blue Sky."

"Eleventh Form: Dragon Sun Halo Head Dance."

"Thirteenth Form!"

The Sun Breathing was displayed repeatedly in Shun's hand, and finally turned into a perfect sun disc that shone forever.

The thirteenth form created by Tsukuguni Yoriichi was capable of swinging up to 1,500 times, but in Shun's hands, it turned into 3,300 times.

Under everyone's gaze, the bright sun suddenly bloomed with beautiful light.

At that moment, they couldn't even tell whether the beam of light was sunlight or the light of the sword.

"This..."

The entire place was silent, and everyone who was anxious a moment ago was stunned.

Despite their appearances, they stretched their necks one by one and stared at the scene in front of them with wide eyes:

They saw the young man holding the sword standing calmly on the battlefield.

Beside him, the massive body of the Minotaur turned into black smoke and disappeared.

Ice-blue magic stones fell to the ground one after another, and there was a sharp sound like a wind chime, and the girls finally saw his face clearly.

"Yeah… that's the little brother who was in the pub a few days ago!"

Tiona stared at Shun with bright eyes at this moment, and couldn't help but bite her lip, showing the Amazoness girl's carnivorous nature.

"Strong and handsome appearance, very much in line with my ideal type!"

After that, she completely didn't care about her image, and ran jumping around.

"Hey, Tiona, you're too impatient." Tione, who was a little worried, also chased after her.

Like a chain reaction, the other women followed suit.

"Little brother! We meet again!"

Tiona happily ran towards him, pointing at herself and saying, "Do you remember that annoying Bete? He and I are also members of the same Familia. We also had dinner at that shop that night, and I winked at you before leaving."

"I know you, the executive of the Loki Familia, Tiona Hiryute, right?"

Shun put away Nichirin Sword and smiled back.

He really liked Tiona and Tione, the two Amazoness girls who guarded their purity and only wanted to be with the person they liked.

After saying that, Shun looked at the other women.

"There's also Tione Hiryute, Aiz Wallenstein, Riveria Ljos Alf, and Lefiya Viridis. You're all famous in Orario."

Although Shun had previously conflicted with Bete, the atmosphere between them was now quite good. After all, everyone knew the man's bad temper.

"Brother, you know us so well..."

Tione, who was also an Amazoness, was also familiar with him. She enthusiastically put her arm around Shun's shoulder and said:

"Then introduce yourself. This is the first time I've met someone so strong when he first came to Orario. Have you ever been a follower of a god outside before?"

Tione's question caused other women to look at Shun at the same time. Even Aiz, who was the most silent, had more expression in her clear golden eyes.

"I'm Takema Shun, and my main god is Hestia, not a god outside. I think your arch-nemesis, Loki, should know this well."

"Hestia?" Riveria immediately remembered the blue ribbon goddess who often quarreled with her main god.

"That means..." Lefiya suddenly realized something, "Takema-sama, did you just recently receive Falna?"

"That's right, Hestia and I formed a new Familia the day after I defeated the white-haired guy. The person standing in front of you now is the leader of the Hestia Familia."

"That means..." Lefiya counted with her fingers.

"Brother, are you just Level 1 now?"

Tiona almost jumped, her eyes widened.

"So... you beat that annoying Bete before receiving Falna..."

Tione's face also looked dull, feeling like her brain couldn't react.

"How is this possible?!"

The existence beyond common sense shocked everyone.

"He's a hero!"

Aiz, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. Her eyes looked towards her interlocutor, gradually overlapping with the memory of her childhood about the figure of her father when he went to war against the Black Dragon.

"Mother said, in ancient times, there was... a hero who could defeat monsters without any Falna."

"Indeed... there are records like that in elf classics."

Riveria nodded and looked at Shun.

'So, this is why I pay so much attention to this young man? I don't know why, but I always feel that he's natural and very easy to approach...'

Riveria didn't realize that Lefiya on the other side had the same feeling at this moment.

Shun let these girls busy thinking but didn't care. He just waved his hand and the giant trees disappeared one by one.

"It's getting late. I have to go to work after updating my status, so I'll take a step ahead. If you're lucky, see you again."

❀❀❀

The day began to darken.

Buying food and wine in exchange for magic stones, Shun and came to Hephaestus.

After the three of them had dinner together, before Shun could speak, Hestia curiously pulled him into the room, took off his clothes, and pushed him onto the bed.

With the drops of god's blood, Shun's attributes had just been updated.

Takema Shun Level 1

Strength: I (0) → SS (1499)

Seeing the terrifying speed of the increase, Hestia was speechless.

"What's wrong, is it bad?"

Shun turned around skillfully, easily putting Hestia in his arms, bent down and looked at his value carefully.

"Tsk, it seems like my progress is pretty good."

"More than good..." Hestia didn't refuse such intimacy, but looked at Shun's face carefully, and said with a little doubt about life: "I almost doubt if you're human!"

"Even though you can become stronger just by breathing, and your attributes can increase for 24 hours, it only takes two days, so the speed is too fast!"

"It's nothing, it's just that I beat four Level 5 members of the Freya Familia before. I guess I got a lot of Excelia, right?"

Shun said casually, and Hestia suddenly became alert. She immediately turned around and sat on top, looking at him from top to bottom, and said nervously:

"Shun, you've been targeted! Even though Freya is beautiful, don't be fooled by that shameless woman!"

The terrifying charm of the Goddess of Beauty, no matter which goddess it was, was quite worrying.

"Relax, Hestia."

Shun put his hand on the girl's slender waist, looked into her eyes without avoiding them, and said sincerely:

"I'll always be yours, and you'll always be mine!"
