Zongman: The wrong person on the ground, double Shenwei at the beginning

If the other party didn't actually have any hostility, then wouldn't she be the one who did something wrong? What if... what if she really hurt the other party?

Finn rubbed his sore arm with a wry smile.

"Even if I told you, this battle would still have to happen, even if I don't know why."

"And compared to how he spared us, he practically let you off the hook."

Grace adjusted his hat, holding a fragment of the shield in his hand.

"Now that we know he's not an enemy, we can leave the questions of who that guy is and why he's so strong to those two families."

"What we should be thinking about now is... if we were to fight him again next time, what strategies would we have? At the very least... we need to be able to put up some resistance."

There was silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Finn spoke, extinguishing the seed of lamentation.

"Swordsmanship, combat, level, speed, strength... Let's set aside those abilities that we can't understand and strive in the directions where we can hope to improve!"

"In short, I'm absolutely certain that this is correct!"

Everyone nodded slightly, a fighting spirit of unwillingness ignited in their hearts.

They tidied up the mess in twos and threes, and calmed down the rest of the clan who were still agitated by the commotion.

Only Rivera, holding her wand, gazed in the direction Rhodes had left, and pursed her lips.

Is it a magical effect...? Even after exchanging blows, I can't seem to remember the opponent's face or voice... Who could it be...?

"Oh?"

Rhodes looked at the last system notification with some surprise.

"They actually obtained the Fiana family's magic spear?"

The negative effect of "reduced judgment" on the panel only flashed for a moment before being immediately removed by the bugged skill Perfect Synchronization.

Now, it has become a perfect, powerful spell that can forcibly amplify itself by one level.

"good."

Rhodes nodded.

He was quite satisfied with what he had gained.

Of course, the one I'm most satisfied with is that precious, embarrassing photo of Riveria!

-

The location of Hera and Zeus's retinue is not hard to find; it is in the seventh district of the northwest main street.

Orario is quite high-profile and eye-catching these days.

However, Rhodes did not sense many powerful figures in the encampment.

"Did they go on an expedition to the dungeon...?"

Rod looked thoughtfully at the luxurious buildings before him.

Ten years later, this place had become almost a wasteland, and even became a stronghold of the dark faction.

Rhodes's gaze suddenly stopped on a detached church building not far away.

"This church is..."

In the original main story timeline, Hestia was kicked out by Hephaestus for freeloading, and that's where she lived.

Although it was already in a terrible state of disrepair at that time.

According to the current timeline, those living there should be...

The moment this thought crossed my mind, the system notification sounded again.

[S-Rank Special Wish Issued.]

[Posted by: Hera's Familia]

[Content: Saving Metaria]

[Rewards: Special rewards, and a corresponding large amount of Wishing Points.]

[Note: This prayer will fundamentally change the course of the entire world; please choose your method of salvation carefully!]

Rhodes glanced at the system notification and chuckled softly.

"A fundamental change... doesn't that mean if I chose the other path, some guy called the Hero's Egg wouldn't be born...?"

"Tongzi, do you really think I'm the kind of guy who would go through all the trouble of saving people and then act as a matchmaker to bring them together?"

Rod strode straight toward the church, attracting no attention along the way.

As he approached, he suddenly saw a thin man sneakily trying to climb the wall in front of him.

"Damn it... Zeus succeeded in spying on adventurers in their bathhouse outside the Familia... Why can't I do it..."

Rhodes narrowed his eyes slightly, then casually flicked his wrist, creating a gust of wind that sent his opponent flying into the sky.

The thin man stared wide-eyed, rabbit-like red, and screamed in terror, his face pale.

"Ughhhhh...! W-what's going on...? Is this karma...?!"

"But this is my first time and I haven't done anything yet... Waaah, at this height, I'm going to fall to my death!!!"

Rod remained expressionless, but inwardly scoffed.

Passing through the wall, Rod saw a beautiful girl struggling to open the door, leaning weakly against the wall, panting heavily.

Her frail, delicate body, barely plump, trembled repeatedly from the impact of violent coughing, and she would even cough up a trace of blood from time to time.

Just hearing the strange noise, getting out of bed, and walking to the door almost exhausted all the strength she had accumulated over the years.

"...Eh?"

She stared in astonishment at the man who had miraculously appeared in her courtyard.

She swayed her beautiful, snow-white hair, and her pearly blue eyes sparkled with pure curiosity.

"you are?"

Rhodes thought for a moment and decided to be straightforward.

"Robbers."

Simply eliminating her symptoms and allowing her to continue living in this era might actually cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, Rhodes's choice was to simply pack it up and take it away!

The girl blinked and revealed a smile as warm as spring.

"Well... sir robber, you should be going to the clan's warehouse. You've come to the wrong place~"

Rod walked up to the white-haired girl, lowered his head, and said softly.

"No, the most precious treasure of the Hera Familia is right in front of me."

"Eh...Eh? Cough cough cough..."

Sensing the masculine aura emanating from her, the girl, who had always been well protected by her younger sister and the goddess Hera, blushed slightly.

In her haste, she couldn't help but cough violently a few more times, then felt dizzy and almost fell over.

Rod reached out and pulled the girl's light body into his arms, his brows furrowing slightly.

She's so thin... she's practically a sheet of paper... as if she'd break at the slightest touch.

The girl leaned against Rod's strong chest, feeling a little shy.

But then, a hint of regret and desolation appeared in her eyes.

"Mr. Robber, as you can see, I'm just a burden suffering from a terminal illness, not some kind of treasure."

Even the favor Hera specifically bestowed upon me... had no effect whatsoever...

Perhaps because she had no expectations for her own life, the girl did not feel much fear when facing this unknown "robber," but rather a sense of novelty and curiosity.

"Mr. Robber, could you tell me about what's happening outside? Ahem... By the way, my name is Metalia. What's your name? Oh..."

With a soft gasp from Metalia, Rhodes gently lifted her up in his arms and then pushed open the door.

"Why don't you go and see the outside world for yourself? All your belongings are in this room."

"Yes, that's how it is... but you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Medea, who was being held in Rhodes' arms, widened her beautiful eyes.

All her personal belongings in the room vanished into thin air after a spatial distortion.

"this..."

After checking everything and confirming that there were no oversights, Rod gently stomped his foot.

A horse with enormous wings appeared out of nowhere from the shadows.

Nestled in her arms, Metalia couldn't help but let out another small gasp, a hint of excitement in her voice.

"Is this... the legendary Pegasus...? Are you perhaps the Prince Charming from the fairy tale...?!"

Rhodes, holding the light and airy Metria in his arms, deftly mounted his horse.

He glanced back at the small church that had once been her whole world, then gently exhaled a breath of pale blue flame.

The flames, which were difficult to extinguish, shot into the sky and quickly set the entire church ablaze.

The guards of Hera's Familia quickly noticed the unusual situation and rushed towards them in fear and anger.

However, Rhodes had already carried Metaea to high altitudes, silently watching the girls below crying as they rushed into the fire.

"...Your fellow clan members cherish you very much."

Only then did Metaria finally believe that Rhodes' claim of being a robber was not a joke.

She sighed softly.

"Everyone...must be very sad."

"However, this is for the best. Rather than being powerless to do anything and having to watch myself die little by little from this illness, this... might be a better outcome."

"But... Alphia will be so angry, I really want to see her cry with anger!"

"And leaving like this might make Hera sad for the rest of her life, hehe..."

Rod's expression was somewhat subtle.

This seemingly frail girl, like a candle flickering in the wind, actually has a somewhat cunning side.

Metalia smiled mischievously, withdrawing her regretful gaze. She tilted her head curiously to look at Rhodes's sharply defined profile, and couldn't help but gently reach out her cool little hand to touch it.
