The Warrior of Love

The golden light dissipated, revealing Jiang Liu with a frown on his face. He summoned a part of the Mecha God. Although the consumption was not as terrible as summoning the whole body, it was indeed much more strenuous than using domineering power.

"Magic? Was that magic just now?"

"It must be an ancient magic sword!"

"What should I do? The magic sword has been used up?"

"Don't panic!"

The people of the dark faction fell into chaos for a moment, while the adventurers of the first line of defense who escaped the disaster stared at Jiang Liu's back in disbelief, still not understanding why Jiang Liu would save them.

However, Jiang Liu had no intention of explaining, and he ruthlessly knocked down the remaining adventurers, rushed all the way to the second line of defense, and began to ruthlessly ravage the guys from the dark faction!

At this time, Bell and others who were left behind by the river finally arrived late - it was not because they wanted to paddle, but because the river was flowing too fast.

Because they were attacking one punch at a time before, only the adventurers who were directly blocking Jiang Liu lost their combat effectiveness. There were actually quite a few coalition forces that could move freely, and their overall strength was still much better than Bell and others.

But when these people rushed in, the battle became almost one-sided!

Firstly, the courage of the coalition forces was taken away by someone, and secondly, Bell and his men were a fresh force in excellent condition, and in addition, there was an unstoppable striker - Ryu!

The foxman Haruhime is only level 1 and doesn't have any combat skills, but the reason why she is valued so much by Ishtar is because she has a very special magic that can temporarily raise the adventurer's level by one level.

This time it was used on Liu!

This waitress was originally the top one among the lv4. After the upgrade, she had considerable strength even among the first-class adventurers. She rushed into the sluggish coalition forces with unstoppable force!

She didn't stop and rushed directly towards the dark faction on the second line of defense. Her cold aura was so chilling that it was as if she had seen an irreconcilable enemy... Perhaps that was exactly the case.

Seeing Ryu rushing over, he glanced at the people who were fighting with the allied adventurers, especially Bell who was using his agility to his advantage and trying hard to fight with others.

Jiang Liu nodded, then withdrew from the battle, leaving the dark faction to the female elf, and rushed into the fortress.

Chapter 193: Come on, big brother!

“Hum…hum…hum…hum…hum…”

Humming an unmelodious tune, Jiang Liu tried to reproduce a certain anime theme song in his mind, but he was unable to present it completely. He just looped through the most familiar syllables. Even so, he was still quite happy.

Walking leisurely and calmly across the square avenue, through the forest of crooked swords, the man strode towards the magnificent palace, leaving behind adventurers who fell to the ground and groaned...

He casually pulled out an adventurer's long sword from the ground. The solid armament color was wrapped around it. Jiang Liu's eyes became serious. The sharp sword pressure cut through the air, and the waning moon of Liuying immediately cut off the high wall in front of him.

Amid the smoke and dust of the collapsed building, Jiang Liu threw away his sword and continued his walk.

The core third line of defense can be said to be the last bastion, and it also gathers the most powerful forces. If the enemy can break through the first two lines of defense, they will encounter a fatal ambush here.

All the first-level characters of the clan leaders gathered here. Almost all of them were first-level adventurers. The weapons in their hands were also first-level. Everyone was equipped with a panacea. The lineup was luxurious beyond words.

But he was still easily defeated by Jiang Liu!

In the coalition's conception, they have tried their best to position Jiang Liu at a relatively strong level, assuming that he is at level 7 or even level 8.

But even if it was really level 8, after breaking through two lines of defense, hundreds of adventurers’ blockade, and especially after being baptized by the magic sword, it should have been extremely costly. It is also possible that it could not even get here and was killed by the magic sword in front...

It goes without saying who has the greater advantage between the fully-conditioned first-level adventurers in the core area and a theoretically exhausted enemy.

But the coalition forces' assumption was dashed. The first two lines of defense failed to block the enemy's attack and even consumed Jiang Liu's physical strength... the effect was almost zero.

After activating the "Druid Mysticism", Jiang Liu's endurance far exceeded his apparent ability value, and his tenacity was simply beyond the imagination of the coalition forces.

If a magician of a high enough level were here, he would find that the entire fortress is surrounded by a "vortex" formed by floating magic power. The river flow is like the eye of a storm or a huge magnet, attracting this magic power all the time.

The body given by the mother goddess Tiamat gradually showed its peculiarities after entering the "maturity period". Even after converting so much magic power, it still had not reached its limit. Moreover, as Jiang Liu grew, it seemed that the "upper limit" was constantly changing.

In the world of "Dungeon", the "favor" bestowed by gods on humans is also known as "ability value".

Its essence is to tap into human potential and possibilities and transform accumulated experience into tangible power.

From this perspective, the "potential" of Jiang Liu's body is too great, allowing him to grow extremely quickly... but the difficulty of upgrading is also much higher than that of an adventurer.

If he updates his ability values ​​now, Jiang Liu can gain more than 4,000 proficiency at one time, which is unimaginable for other adventurers.

Interestingly, his appearance has also changed a bit. Compared to the beginning of the war game, he seems to be "stronger" and "taller", and his physique is now beginning to develop into a dragon-slaying warrior like Siegfried.

——It has only been a short time since it entered the mature stage, and it has to evolve again.

However, after entering the palace, he met a man who was two heads taller than he was now.

Judging from the ears, he should be a pigman from the Werebeast race. He is extremely tall and strong, with muscles as solid as steel. Just standing there he has an aura as immovable as a mountain.

Although he had never seen him before, Jiang Liu guessed his identity at just one glance.

Orario's "ultimate weapon", the only level 7 in the city - Freya's family "Ota"!

"No passing here."

The sturdy warrior stood there with no expression on his face. Even though the man in front of him had just broken through the defense of a first-level adventurer, his fighting spirit never wavered for a moment.

Jiang Liu looked over his shoulder and saw the brown-skinned goddess sitting on the throne behind him with a nervous look on her face, and he couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Then let's get started."

As soon as these words were spoken, one could see that Ota's body had visibly tensed up. His originally heavy aura, like a block of iron or rock, now became sharp and steady.

Different!

It is fundamentally different from other adventurers.

Although his ability values ​​cannot be seen directly, Jiang Liu's Observation Haki has been cultivated to a very high level, and he basically will not make mistakes in judgment.

It might be an exaggeration to say that he can attack a city by himself, but this guy can probably break through the defenses of a first-level adventurer single-handedly!

Is the gap between lv6 and lv7 so big?

This feeling is not as simple as just going one level higher...

Ah, so that's what's happening—a glimmer of enlightenment flashed across Jiang Liu's eyes.

"Most of your ability scores have reached S, right?"

Jiang Liu showed admiration in his expression: "I didn't expect that there would be another adventurer besides me who could get more than two S's."

He is no longer a newbie who has just arrived here, and he knows very well how difficult it is for adventurers to improve their ability proficiency.

Generally speaking, when adventurers level up, their proficiency is mostly C, at best B, and almost no one reaches S.

There are very few people who have all the talents and conditions, and can only train one or two ability values ​​to S. It can be said that there has never been an individual with all ability values ​​S - Jiang Liu is an exception.

As for Ota, even if he doesn't have full S, it's probably not much different.

The gains (hidden values) obtained after upgrading different ability values ​​are also different. If Ota upgrades all the way to S... then there will be an insurmountable gap between him and ordinary adventurers.

He is called the "ultimate weapon" not just because of his high level, but also because he is almost invincible even among the same level!

A first-rate servant...if his martial arts skills are also excellent, he will be no weaker than those heroes.

The only pity is that there are no powerful weapons in this world. The magic sword and the holy sword are just fantasies. As a "mortal", Ota has no Noble Phantasm, otherwise he can really compete with the Heroic Spirits (however, Noble Phantasms are the trump cards and symbols of Heroic Spirits, so there is actually a big gap between them and the first-class Heroic Spirits).

"call--"

With a long sigh, Jiang Liu got into position.

Armed domineering aura covered his fists, druid patterns spread across his skin, and his physical fitness was raised to inhuman levels.

"I'm actually good at swordsmanship, but I didn't bring any weapons this time, so I had to fight with my bare hands. I'm just stronger, but my physical skills are average, so please don't mind."

Ota was silent for a moment. As a person who had steadily upgraded from lv1 to lv7 step by step, his combat experience was not even less than that of the heroes in the epic.

Apart from his loyalty to the goddess Freya, he is a pure warrior, so it is easy for him to judge the strength of the enemy's momentum.

If his existence was a mountain, then what he sensed in Jiang Liu was the Tower of Babel connecting heaven and earth... an existence that once blurred the distinction between gods and humans.

Apart from the will of God, he had never felt such a powerful pressure.

"Ota, what are you waiting for?"

Ishtar at the back couldn't bear it any longer and shouted, "Are you going to wait for him to recover? Hurry up!"

"Even now, he has no physical limitations. Besides, you are not my goddess."

Ota glanced back at the goddess of love and silenced her.

"Don't order me."

He blocked the river here on the order of the goddess Freya. Although objectively it protected Ishtar, it did not mean that he had any respect for Ishtar.

"You are unarmed, and according to fairness I shouldn't use weapons, but the goddess asked me to go all out, so I can only apologize."

The pigman, who was over two meters tall, took out two heavy swords from his back that were as thick as guillotines. He did not have a gorgeous appearance and was dark in color overall.

It was hard, heavy, and huge. It was more like a siege weapon than a sword. It was clearly not a size that could be grasped by a human. Yet, Ota lifted it up with one hand.

Befitting his name as a "fierce fighter", he holds one weapon in each hand and walks calmly!

"Are you ready? --Get on!"

Bang!

The hard marble floor was crushed, and the hero with the demeanor of a tyrant rushed forward, swinging his two dark and heavy swords with a blow that could smash through the city wall, making the atmosphere wailing before it even hit.

Charge, charge!

The combination of speed and mass is a force that can destroy all obstacles. This is an extremely simple and straightforward combat formula.

In terms of human combat skills, Ota, standing at the top of Orario, could have used many exquisite moves and techniques, but at this moment he abandoned all vanity and chose to use pure strength to fight the enemy in front of him.

burst!

But the moment the heavy sword fell, the huge kinetic energy was transformed into direct physical destructive force, the cracks in the earth spread unstoppably, and the entire palace shook violently!

However, blocking the heavy sword was a flesh-and-blood fist without any protection. The collision between the two created a tornado-like wind pressure, and even Ishtar, who was sitting on the throne far behind, was nearly blown away.

"drink!"

Jiang Liu couldn't suppress the curve of his lips. His blood kept heating up due to the beating of his heart, and his whole body seemed to be boiling.

Not to mention the monsters, this is the first enemy with such "guts" since he came to this world!

"King Kong!"

The fist's extension and retraction was obviously faster than the heavy sword. Before Ota could regroup, Jiang Liu had already gathered strength and threw out the second punch, hitting the center of the black sword.

"break!"

As the word was uttered, translucent ripples carried the atmosphere of the entire palace, a gust of wind swept through, and the black sword that was hit directly by the fist carried Ota away.

Bang!

The pigman warrior's body smashed through the wall, but he stood up again without even a breath.

“Ohhhh—”

It was still a foolish and reckless charge, crushing the ground along the way, crushing everything like a bull, with an even more violent momentum than the last time!

"Drink!"

The black sword kept swinging, and the Overlord kept moving forward. Every strike collided with Jiang Liu's fist and produced fierce sparks. Every strike brought a shock that shook Ota's whole body.

If it were an ordinary adventurer, just one impact would injure his internal organs and make him lose his combat effectiveness, but Ota fought more and more bravely, as if he knew no fatigue, and launched a torrential attack on Jiang Liu.

One step, two steps, three steps——

Jiang Liu was not given any chance and every blow was struck with all his strength. Even the Tower of Babel connecting heaven and earth was shaken by the ferocious wild boar and kept retreating.

"I fight, I am here"!

This complex skill includes multiple effects such as combat continuation, combat healing, endurance enhancement, combat growth, etc. The stronger the enemy, the more active it becomes, and it has reached its peak at this moment.

But this is not enough!

He only shook the opponent's footsteps, but had no hope of winning. In order to complete the goddess's order, he must obtain more powerful power!

"Ohhhhh!"

The already extremely tall and strong man now had even more muscles and grew taller for no reason. His body also surpassed that of a human and grew towards that of a wild beast, looking like a monster.

"War Pigs Are Coming!"

All abilities are greatly enhanced!

Since each activation will reduce a large amount of physical and mental strength, it is equivalent to a desperate skill. Generally speaking, it will not be used unless you are in a desperate situation.

but--

"I'm willing to risk everything I have to defeat you! Ooooohhhhh!!"
