After I V-brother Zheng 50

Chapter 77 A classic scene from DanMachi... Ais suffers a setback

As the vice-captain of the Loki Familia and an active Level 5 adventurer, Riveria is quite skilled at deduction.

Therefore, she often takes over the position when Finn, the leader of her 'Joker faction,' is too busy to oversee the overall situation.

And right now, according to her deduction...

【Lotus】is a newcomer who joined the Astrea Familia a few days ago.

Now, however, he can easily defeat Ais at level 3.

She knew her own problem child well; although he had significant personality flaws, he was quite capable.

Even though he is only nine years old, he is among the top few in strength among adventurers of the same level Lv.3.

Otherwise, the little girl wouldn't have been given the title of "Sword Maiden" by the gods.

Therefore, it is preliminarily deduced that this little girl named "Lotus" must have trained in a certain divine clan before, and her original level of grace was not low. She recently "converted" and joined the faction under the Goddess of Justice.

So, based on this...

Although Riveria knew that the vice-captain of the Astrea Familia, 'Gojou Kaguya,' was a girl from the Far East who was skilled with a katana, she did not think that the other party could train someone's swordsmanship to such a high level in just a few days.

Even the goddess Astraea herself, who is equally skilled with a sword, probably couldn't do this.

Then there's only one possibility...

[Lotus] was once noticed by a sword master who saw her exceptional talent and taught her to cultivate from a young age.

That's how he achieved such an astonishing level of swordsmanship.

Yes.

When Rivera arrived at the scene, she was unable to intervene immediately in the fight between her own child and another child.

So at that moment, she saw it clearly...

The little girl, nicknamed the 'Sword Princess,' was completely powerless against that thirteen-year-old girl.

In terms of skill, they were completely outmatched.

Because at that time, no matter how fiercely Ais attacked, she even used wind-attribute [magic].

However, he still couldn't break through the opponent's (Lotus's) sword momentum, and then easily knocked the sharp blade out of her hand as she strolled around.

At that time, with Riveria's keen eye, she could already tell that if the other party hadn't seemed to be curious about Ais's swordsmanship, the latter would probably have been defeated even faster.

Finally, the other party inadvertently revealed an expression that seemed to say, "That's all?"

Rivera was deeply shocked.

Because Ais's swordsmanship was inherited from her father...

The strongest ancient hero from a thousand years ago—"King of Mercenaries" Albert Wallentstein.

The latter is the only being in history capable of injuring the Black Dragon and blinding one of its eyes.

Even eight years ago, when Zeus and Hera mobilized their entire kinship force, they couldn't accomplish this.

So it seems...

"This young girl's swordsmanship instructor is definitely extraordinary."

That's what Riveria speculated.

However, she didn't know that.

There is a special kind of existence in this world called: "Hanger".

Their very existence is characterized by utter irrationality.

If Qin Yu knew what Riveria was thinking right now, he would probably laugh and secretly tease himself: "The elves of the DanMachi world are really all hidden masters of imagination!"

In short, right now...

“I have never converted. The first person to bestow ‘divine grace’ upon me was the goddess Astraea.”

The straightforward [Lotus] bluntly stated, "As for my swordsmanship instructor..."

If we had to name one, perhaps only Li Sushang, who is also a member of the Jin people and is still studying ancient martial arts in the land of China in the Black Bullet World, fits this identity.

However, before she could finish speaking...

"what?"

Rivera's eyes widened. "You're only Level 1?"

Beside her, the blonde, golden-eyed Ais was also stunned.

How could I have been defeated by a Level 1 newbie who had only received the 'Blessing of God' a few days ago?

For a time...

"Stare~"

The little girl's gaze fell on [Lotus] and she couldn't look away.

Now, she really wants to know...

Why is the other party so powerful?

as well as……

Is it possible for her to become just as capable?

Even more powerful!

It can only be said that Ais's focus is too simplistic.

Rivera, with her broader perspective, thought of even more.

The fact that Lv.1 defeated Lv.3 is undoubtedly quite exaggerated.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to consider it a 'great deed' sufficient to elevate one's level of favor to the next.

Because, looking back at the thousand-year history of the divine era, there has only been one person who could do such a thing.

Alphia, in its "silence".

An incredible individual who could arm-wrestle with his own Lv.9 guild leader at Lv.7.

She can imitate almost any skill-based move after seeing it only once.

Therefore, it also has two other names: 'the monster of talent' and 'the embodiment of talent and disaster'.

Apart from her...

The only beings capable of achieving something similar are those who have mastered divine arts, the 'Gods of War'.

For example, Artemis, the chief goddess of the nomadic hunting faction.

For example, there was Zeus, the once disrespectful and lewd male god.

It is said that the 'Takemikazuchi' of the Far East can also do something similar.

But those are all gods!

"Click~"

The sudden noise interrupted everyone's thoughts.

It was clear that the blade of the ordinary one-handed sword that [Lotus] was tightly gripping had already developed cracks.

then……

"Click~"

It broke off directly.

Clearly, it had already endured immense pressure that its grade could not possibly withstand before this.

Having witnessed this scene firsthand, Riveria was truly moved.

Because their own problem child (Ais) is also a big spender on swords.

So recently, for the sake of the little girl's safety, and to prevent her weapon from suddenly breaking down and becoming unusable while she was messing around, the Loki Familia even went to the Guberon Familia, one of the two major forging factions in the city, and had their chief god personally forge a blade with the attribute of 'indestructibility'—the Sword of Despair.

Let's look at the lotus side...

"..."

It seems that she is not satisfied with her current skills.

Because if she had truly mastered the ancient martial arts of Shenzhou, then... even if she were holding an ordinary tree branch, it wouldn't have been destroyed in the previous battle.

Even a certain swordsman from the Qin Dynasty could clash with a wooden sword and a giant sword.

"That's far from enough."

She muttered to herself.

Just then...

"!"

As one of the Twelve Golden Men, [Lotus] was suddenly taken aback.

She received an instruction from Qin Yu via remote transmission.

The latter, along with two friends, will indirectly descend into this world.

"As ordered!"

Upon receiving the order, [Lotus] immediately responded in her mind.

next moment……

A sudden realization dawned on her.

She already knew how Qin Yu would cleverly arrive.

The specific method is quite unconventional.

It was...

"Since it's called [Len Ashbell], then of course it needs to have two 'contract spirits'!"
