The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

The sudden monster attack startled everyone present.

The swordswomen and other vanguard-class girls quickly advanced to the front lines, while several mages rapidly gathered around Riveria, the strongest rear guard, forming a tight defensive formation, ready and waiting.

She didn't immediately cast a spell, but instead issued instructions to the elven girl beside her.

At the same time, the first-tier adventurers were already engaged in battle with the man-eating flower monsters.

【O proud warriors, archers of the forest. The encroaching plunderers are before you, take up your bows. Answer the call of your comrades, nock your arrows and light the flames, lights of the forest. I command you to loose your arrows, elven fire arrows, falling like rain, burning the barbarians.】

As the last line of the incantation was completed, scorching flames coalesced, transforming into imposing flame spears.

The flame spears drew blazing trails of fire in the sky, plunging down like meteors, violently striking the midst of the man-eating flower horde. The flames exploded, instantly spreading and engulfing all the surrounding monsters.

However, led by Lv.5 Bernice and Aelna, they were still resisting the monsters' attacks in an orderly manner.

Weimiya projected a 【Fake Unbreakable Burning Victory Sword (Sequence II)】, intending to join the battle.

【—Omen of the end, pure white snow. Facing the twilight hour, stir up the gale.—My name is Alf】

Centered on the island where they were located, a biting blizzard suddenly swept outwards.

All humans, whether members of the Loki Familia or the Kali Familia, were not directly attacked, but those slightly affected by the blizzard felt a piercing chill, involuntarily shivering.

Ice pillars formed from the frozen bodies of monsters stood like sculptures on the frozen sea, radiating a chilling cold, transforming the entire island into a silver-white world of ice and snow.

"This is the strongest mage in the city… no, the world…"

An Amazonian female warrior murmured in a low voice.

The proportion of Amazonians who can awaken magic is the lowest among all races. They are naturally lacking in magical talent, so mages have never been valued in their country.

However, today, these girls, who were like frogs in a well in the field of "magic," finally got to glimpse the vastness of the world.

"How terrifying. After Riveria leveled up, the range and power of her magic is really exaggerated."

Lefiya said with eyes full of admiration.

Following Ais's finger, everyone indeed saw a large ship quietly staying on the frozen sea.

The ship seemed to be heading towards the island, but before it could arrive, it was frozen in the ice by Riveria's 【Fimbulwinter of Jubilation】, unable to move.

After getting closer, Lefiya, with her sharp eyes, saw several figures on the ship frantically trying to untie the ropes, preparing to jump ship and escape.

Tiona, Tione, and Ais lightly leaped, landing steadily on the deck, quickly subduing the crew members who were trying to escape.

"Don't move, no resistance allowed!"

"We… we are just hired, it's none of our business!"

"Hired?"

Tione frowned and said roughly: "Then tell me, who hired you? Who instructed you to bring these monsters here?!"

Hearing these words, Ais unhesitatingly cleaved open the door of the cabin with her sword. An angry roar came from inside the cabin, and a man wielding a steel knife rushed out of the shadows, trying to attack Ais.

After the adventurers of the Kali Familia used "Greater Restoration," the Lv.1 man confessed everything.

His patron deity was a lazy, decadent god who made a living by "selling blood"—as long as someone paid, he would grant divine blessings and help update ability values.

Because he charged fair prices, he was considered to have a small reputation in the port city.

According to his confession, Ruber was worried that the Loki Familia was secretly investigating his collusion with the Dark Faction, especially the illegal transactions involving smuggling and monster trading, so he planned this attack.

At the same time, Ruber became wary of the Medor Familia's actions in summoning the Kali Familia, suspecting that they might intend to deal with him, so he planned to use the conflict between the Loki Familia and the Kali Familia to eliminate both familias in one fell swoop.

As for why Ruber was able to understand the conflict between the Kali Familia and the Loki Familia, and even accurately know the location of Weimiya's duel with the Kali Familia, it was because the Kali Familia had unsuspectingly told the Medor family about this matter, and there happened to be a spy planted by Ruber in the Medor family.

These monsters sensed the magical power on the island and then gathered to launch an attack.

On the other side, the Goddess Kali had completely despaired.

The goddess, who looked like a young girl, sat on the cold ground with tears in her eyes, pounding the ground with both hands, as if she was about to burst into tears.

And now, this precious ship had been torn into a pile of fragments by those out-of-control man-eating flower monsters, scattered on the frozen sea.

The Kali Familia was officially bankrupt.

The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight sprinkled on the sea, Weimiya and others had packed their bags and were ready to set off back to Orario.

Chapter 277: Return to the City, Labyrinth Entrance.

Before sunrise, on the deserted harbor, two gods sat together, shoulder to shoulder, watching the horizon.

"The Guild's branch manager has already confessed everything."

Loki said, "The head of the Medor family, the Guild's branch manager, and you, Sea God, you are all in cahoots. Those man-eating flower monsters were raised by you, right?"

From the moment the Goddess Loki personally started the investigation, this result seemed to be destined.

As long as she found the other two, or even just cast her gaze slightly, she could immediately discover the truth.

Now, Ruber was killed by the Kali Familia, who were furious after going bankrupt, the head of the Medor family, Borg, was shut up indoors, and Nyord was approached by Loki.

However, perhaps because they were from the same hometown in the Celestial Realm, Loki seemed willing to give him a chance to explain.

"That's right, those man-eating flowers are what we were raising."

Nyord showed a self-deprecating smile: "Not entirely. In fact, both Borg and I really hate Ruber."

"The habit of the man-eating flowers is to hunt magic stones. Did you want to use them to clean up the monsters in the ocean and lakes?"

"When 【Leviathan】 was defeated, I thought everything would get better, but who knew that after a few years, the number of monsters in the ocean would return to its original level."

"Yes."

Nyord smiled bitterly: "Although Poseidon and the others are also trying their best, it is ultimately a drop in the bucket. If this situation continues, not only will the fishing industry be severely affected, but even the most basic safety at sea cannot be guaranteed… So, I really couldn't sit idly by."

The god's tone was very lost.

Chapter 276: The Kali Familia Bankrupts, Guild Branch Cleared.

However, the female adventurers of the Loki Familia quickly demonstrated their outstanding combat skills.

“Lefiya, start preparing the magic.”

Riveria gently tapped the ground with her staff, and the magic circle of 【Elf Ring】 unfolded.

“Yes!”

Although Lefiya was a little flustered, she quickly adjusted her emotions. The girl held the staff 【Forest Teardrop】 with both hands and began to chant.

The Mandragora monsters are quite powerful. Ordinary Lv.3 adventurers would find it very difficult to face them, but in front of first-class adventurers, the threat of these monsters is not enough to be considered.

【Barrage Fire Javelin】!

Lefiya held the staff tightly in both hands, and magic power quickly gathered within her body. Along with her chanting, the light of magic became more and more dazzling at the top of the staff.

On the other side, apart from Algana and Baze, who had completely lost their combat capabilities, many Amazon warriors also stood up to face the Mandragora monsters that were coming from all directions.

Because they didn't understand the characteristics of these monsters, and they were used to fighting people in the arena environment, these female warriors appeared somewhat clumsy and unaccustomed to fighting monsters, making the battle quite difficult.

However, he noticed that Riveria was already preparing to release magic and immediately realized that he probably had no chance to participate in the battle.

Sealed light, frozen earth.

【Raging Fimbulwinter】

Riveria completed the chant.

Wind and snow roared like raging beasts, instantly covering the entire island with unstoppable force.

Those attacking Mandragora monsters, including some creatures in the nearby sea, were all frozen by this cold wind.

Whether it was the vines rushing out of the ground or the monsters leaping into the air, they were all frozen in the ice and snow in an instant, as if time had stopped.

The battlefield, which was originally filled with the roars of monsters and the shouts of battle, fell into silence at this moment, with only the cold wind whistling past, carrying a chilling aura of solemnity.

In just one day, after the inherent barrier 【Unlimited Blade Works】, they once again witnessed a scene that subverted their worldview.

Even, in the culture of the warrior country, they faintly look down on the magic-oriented profession.

In the eyes of the female warriors, although mages possess powerful attack power, they are difficult to survive in front of real warriors—even if the level is higher, mages cannot resist the advancement of powerful warriors.

Tiona sighed.

“Yes, as expected of Lady Riveria.”

Ais's gaze suddenly looked into the distance, pointing in one direction: "Look over there, there is a ship, frozen in the ice."

“At this time, fishermen shouldn’t be passing by… There’s something wrong.”

Realizing this, Tiona and the others rushed over immediately.

“There seems to be someone on the boat!”

However, facing the frozen sea, they could only fall clumsily beside the cold ship.

These people are obviously not strong, and have not even obtained "God's Grace". They are just ordinary sailors or fishermen, and there is nowhere to escape in the face of the sudden ice.

Tiona pointed the weapon in her hand at them and said coldly.

The men on the boat hurriedly defended themselves, their faces full of panic, and some people even couldn't speak clearly.

Faced with Tione's questioning, the crew members looked at each other, trembling and replied: "Someone paid us to transport these things here... He, he should still be on the ship..."

However, facing the experienced and powerful Sword Princess, this man had no chance at all.

Ais nimbly dodged his attack, and then punched him to the ground.

He is a gang member from the port city of Melen. Although he possesses God's Grace, he has not officially joined any familia.

This god does not ask about right or wrong, only recognizes Falna, and relies on this income to squander and enjoy himself, indulging in prostitution and gambling every day.

And the man's real superior is the branch manager of the Melen Guild—Rupe.

Because of Lefiya's intuitive sentence, "That Guild Branch Manager Rupe, I don't think he is a good person," Loki began to investigate and test Rupe.

Rupe didn't dare to confront this "Goddess of Lies" head-on, and could only flee in embarrassment.

Rupe's behavior can be said to be grasping at straws, because after being targeted by Loki, he was destined to have nowhere to escape, and could only pin his hopes on the Mandragora monsters provided by those "allies", hoping to reverse the situation.

The task of this ship was to attract 【Mandragora】 monsters. Not long ago, they poured some Mandragora monsters and magic stone powder used to attract such monsters into the nearby sea, so that these monsters gathered near the island with the waves.

Except for this man who was Rupe's subordinate, the others were fishermen who were tricked into driving the boat. The man originally planned to kill them all before leaving.

“My ship!!!”

The goddess's desperate voice echoed in the air.

That was the new ship that the goddess Kali bought after selling all the magic stones and dragon bones dropped by the subspecies 【Setus】 to Emiya, and adding a large sum of money.

The ship's masts, planks, and canvas were scattered everywhere, mixed with those frozen Mandragora, with wreckage everywhere.

At the same time, on the other side of the port city, the Guild's branch manager Rupe and his minions had been discovered lying in their own mansion, turned into black-green poisonous water.

Nyord by Loki's side has brown hair tied behind his head, a gentle but firm appearance, a strong physique, and a height of nearly 1.8 meters. His face and temperament easily remind people of those "sea men" who conquered the ocean.

Nyord sighed, with a helpless smile on his face, "You still found out... But, this is bound to happen sooner or later."

Except for Nyord, who is also a god and can barely resist, others have no secrets at all in front of Loki.

However, Rupe's madness in desperation was beyond Nyord's expectations.

The gods sat chatting on the shore, while Riveria and Emiya were staring at them in the distance.

Honestly, with such a big incident, even if Loki directly sent Nyord back to heaven, this sea god would not complain.

Nyord frankly admitted this first.

Loki narrowed her eyes slightly: "So, those mutual accusations you had before were just a disguise of accomplices?"

Loki continued to ask.

Nyord sighed softly, his tone revealing deep exhaustion: "The ocean conditions in the Lower World are terrible. In the past five hundred years, the number of monsters has surged terribly…"

Loki nodded in understanding after hearing this: "The situation on land can be controlled, but in the sea, there are very few people who can eliminate those monsters."

The fishing god Nyord, a heavenly god who is afraid of the Lower World losing the bounty of the sea.

“In order to make money, we have to fish, and in order to fish, we have to go to sea, but every time we go to sea… my children always die because of this. Even if I bestow God's Grace upon them, they still cannot resist the attacks of those monsters.”
