My front door leads to a comic strip

Chapter 132, 131: The Mih Family Suppresses the Turmoil! Return to the Star Court to update your stats!

At Shakti's command, the members of the Ganesha Familia formed a battle formation and cautiously advanced into the factory. The further they went, the more horrifying the scene became.

The bodies of the dark faction members were scattered everywhere, most of them killed with a single blow, and some were even incomplete, demonstrating the killers' terrifying strength and efficiency.

When Shakti led his team into the main factory, the last thing they saw was a man in black being cut in half at the waist by a flash of cold light.

"??"

No! She'd seen the guy who did the stabbing!

Isn't this the man who came out of the "Garden of Stars" this morning?

How did I end up here?

Alexandra —

Shocked, Shakti quickly scanned the area and, sure enough, spotted the conspicuous red-haired girl in the center of the factory.

The girl also saw her and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!"

"What a coincidence!"

Shakti: "..—"

She would rather it not be such a coincidence, as it would make her Ganesha's clan seem rather foolish.

Before anything was even done, the unrest had already subsided.

Huff—Calming his breath, Shakti stared at the black-haired youth holding a long sword, who was surveying his surroundings to determine if there were any enemies left. His eyes darkened slightly.

so..

Is this the Iv5 powerhouse who instantly killed "The Left Hand of Death" with a single strike?

Not even a scratch? Where did the Astrea Familia find such help?

Damn it, they want it too.

"Sister, um—"

Adi's soft, weak voice rang in my ears. Her face was pale, clearly shocked by the horrific scene. "I've done a preliminary check, and it seems—not a single member of the dark faction around here is alive—"

"As expected."

Shakti took a deep breath of the blood-scented air, suppressing the shock in his heart, and whispered, "This guy is a monster. He sent a fully armed team of 1v4 flying more than 3,000 meters with a single blow."

"It would be absurd if these IV3 and IV2 players could withstand that level of force."

"Let's begin the cleanup."

She seemed to see a mighty warrior. In Orario today, only the ace of Freya's Familia, the Iv6 "Warrior" Otto, could deliver such an overwhelming and powerful blow.

Just as she narrowed her eyes, preparing to let the group members take their respective actions.

Gu Yuan sheathed his sword, which emitted a clear, ringing sound. He only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no enemies around.

He rubbed his sore wrists, clearly feeling the muscles working overtime under the weight.

Upon seeing Shakti, who was in the lead, he turned to Alicia beside him and asked:

Where might the next dark faction cause trouble?

Alexie stopped herself from going forward to greet Shakti, and looked at his hand with concern:

"Aren't you tired? I noticed your movements became a bit distorted later on?"

"I'm not entirely sure why, but killing fifty people at once, including one level 4 and two level 3s, isn't that a bit too brutal?"

She added softly, her eyes sweeping over the horrific scene around her with a complex mix of emotions.

"Brutal?" Gu Yuan flicked his wrist, his tone completely unwavering. "To fight darkness, this is my justice. Villains, kill without mercy."

When the topic of justice came up, Alexie was momentarily speechless.

Even within the same clan, each person has a different understanding of justice.

She sighed softly, knowing that now was not the time to argue about this.

"Based on the intelligence we received earlier, the next location is likely to be the medicinal herb farm in the northwest region."

"Those guys from the dark faction always like to attack places associated with adventurers, and that's also the area managed by the Mih Familia."

"If we're lucky, we might be able to find some panacea."

"Oh, by the way, the medicine you wanted that makes people tell the truth is also available there."

"Oh?" Gu Yuan became interested, not even glancing at the approaching Shakti. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's set off immediately. Once the dark faction learns of the horrific scene here, they will surely flee for their lives."

Before he could finish speaking, he had already grabbed Alexandra Rofer's wrist.

"Wait, wait a minute." Alexie knelt down and instinctively reached out to grab Shakti, still wanting to talk about what happened on North Street.

However, the distance was too great and Gu Yuan was too fast. With a leap, he swept out of the warehouse like a gust of wind, leaving only a fine dust in his wake.

Shakti's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, before he could even utter a word:

"......"

Well, I'm not getting any attention. I'll visit him again tonight. I need to find out who that man really is.

Even though she knew he was a good person, that was why she didn't immediately interrogate him—facing someone who could instantly kill a Level 4, any overreaction could lead to unnecessary conflict.

"elder sister-"

Adi approached, her eyes hesitant.

Shakti withdrew his gaze, ruffled her hair, and his expression returned to seriousness:

"No need to say more, the person is already gone. Examine all the bodies thoroughly, don't miss any clues."

"Send any bounties to the guild, and I'll personally deliver the bounty—by the way."

As if remembering something, she instructed the group members, "You must keep the fact that Iv4 was instantly killed to yourselves."

"We absolutely cannot let those two lunatics, Dina and Vina, find out. Orario can't take any more damage."

The two of them together can defeat a level 6, and there's only one level 6 in the city right now, which is not good news.

"Yes." The team members readily accepted the order, clearly aware of the situation of the Alecto Familia.

"Very good." Shakti nodded in satisfaction, and the cleanup work continued in an orderly manner.

The afternoon sunlight shifted, casting a golden cloak over the buildings of Oralley.

Northwest region, medicinal herb farm.

Gu Yuan's arrival was like a devastating blow, instantly shattering the resistance of the remaining members of the dark faction.

The whole process was so fast that the members of the Mih clan didn't even have time to react.

Corpses were everywhere.

"Ah, thank you so much for your timely help! We've finally gotten rid of these annoying guys."

The chief god Mihe—a handsome male god with short indigo hair and a gentle, serene demeanor—breathed a long sigh of relief.

Seeing that the danger had passed, he quickly took out a small paper bag he had prepared from behind the counter and handed it to Gu Yuan with great enthusiasm:

"This is a small gift of thanks, some elixirs that can quickly restore physical strength and magic power. The quality is quite good, so please don't refuse."

Behind Mihe, a petite dog-human girl named "Nazar Elise" was bowing her head, her ears twitching with tension and gratitude.

Gu Yuan took the paper bag, glanced at the girl, and learned her name during the battle. His gaze then swept over the herb market, and he knew that the Mihe clan was not yet in dire straits at this time.

In the future, it's unclear how many years from now, this little dog-woman will lose her right arm after reaching level 2 and entering the dungeon.

To restore her confidence, the handsome Mihe went all out and bought a high-precision prosthetic limb from his rival, "Deankat Familia".

Its value, probably in the hundreds of millions, caused the Mih clan to go bankrupt and indebted, with all its members running away.

Since that time hasn't come yet, perhaps we can look for an opportunity to cooperate.

"Hmm." Thinking about all sorts of things, Gu Yuan turned to say goodbye, and Alexie expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you so much for your gift, Mr. Mich! I wish you great success in your business!"

Mihe smiled and waved goodbye. Alexie quickly caught up with Gu Yuan, who had already walked a few steps ahead.

"Hey, are you planning to leave all the socializing to me? I—"

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yuan interrupted her, glancing at the sun that was already beginning to set in the west:

"It's getting late, and we've already been to all the places around us where dark factions exist."

"We haven't covered the southern and eastern districts of the city yet. We'll continue tomorrow. I need to go back and update my stats."

There was a hint of barely perceptible expectation in his tone, "How much do you think my attributes can improve? Can I instantly reach Iv2?"

"...—?" This unrealistic statement left Alexie frozen in place, almost tripping over it.

How much? Reaching Iv2 in a single day? Don't be ridiculous!

If she remembered correctly, Orario's fastest upgrade record was one year. She took a deep breath, instinctively wanting to refute, but then she remembered Gu Yuan's inhuman performance and clearing efficiency today, and swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

What if...? Although the idea sounds absurd.

They traveled in silence until they returned to the Star Garden, located in the northern part of the city, when dusk was approaching.

The orange-red glow of the sunset made the winged markings on the building appear exceptionally sacred.

Alexie glanced at Gu Yuan beside her, her feelings a complex mix of doubt and a hint of inexplicable anticipation, before stepping forward and knocking on the door.

*Knock knock knock* "We're back!"
