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

A chilling silence instantly engulfed the entire alley.

A moment later, the gray-haired woman walked out leisurely.

The alley was littered with corpses, their eyes wide open in a gruesome manner, as if they had witnessed an unbelievable monster before their deaths.

"Ah, how pathetic, I really do hate this place..."

Chapter 5 exceeded expectations, bonus reward! (Seeking flowers and votes!)

In the northern part of the city, beside the road outside the bustling main street to the north.

A long and large mansion, much taller than the surrounding buildings, sits here.

The mansion, composed of several overlapping high-rise towers, resembles a sword mountain, while its bronze-colored exterior makes it look like a blazing flame.

The highest of all the towers, the central tower, was adorned with a clown's flag, which was now stained maroon.

This is the Twilight Mansion, the residence of the Loki Familia.

"Rivia, are you there?!"

Rhodes switched his horn again and rushed into the mansion like a shooting star, shouting loudly without regard for etiquette.

The shouts and the impact of the forced entry instantly ignited the entire Loki Familia.

"What's going on?"

"Enemy attack?"

"No, this young man looks familiar. I guess it's Riveria's former lover who cheated on her and came looking for me!"

The blonde, golden-eyed doll girl leaped down from the sky corridor, attempting to stop Rhodes.

Despite her young age, her features were as delicate as a porcelain doll's, and she was curiously examining him.

"Who...are you? An enemy?"

Rhodes recognized the person, but now was not the time for idle chatter.

"Excuse me, I'll introduce myself later. Now... please step aside."

He stomped his foot heavily on the ground again.

Second acceleration!

"Eh?"

After only a moment of hesitation, Rod, disregarding all martial ethics, seized the opportunity to exploit the opening and brushed past him.

Ais pouted and was about to draw her sword.

"Wait, Ais, he's not an enemy!"

Fortunately, Riveria's mother rushed over and stopped her in time.

Rod also breathed a long sigh of relief.

Rhodes's use of the Silent Suzuka's speed was merely a clever trick; he might be able to surpass a level 3 adventurer for a short time, but that was his limit!

If one's stamina drops even slightly, there is absolutely no chance of dodging Ais's swordsmanship.

Grace, who arrived shortly after, stroked his beard and noticed Rhodes's condition.

"Has it stalled...?"

"Hey kid, charge at me!"

Without any hesitation, Rhodes rammed into Grace's arms.

The dwarf, with his rugged appearance but meticulous mind, skillfully deflected the force, preventing Rhodes from being smashed to pieces by the recoil.

"Ouch—but it still hurts so much, sir. If I could, I'd still prefer a beautiful girl to be holding me..."

Grace helped Rhodes up, laughed, and pointed out Rhodes's little scheme.

"If your speed had hit a fairy, even a level 3 fairy would have been knocked unconscious on the spot. Only we tough dwarves can withstand it!"

Rivera glared at her old friend, not caring about arguing with him at that moment, and looked over with concern.

"Where have you been these past few days, kid? I've asked all the shopkeepers and they all say they haven't seen you."

"What's with your speed? Have you joined any clan?"

"besides..."

Although he was a nerdy guy who had just been admitted to university in his previous life, and could at least barely call himself an adult, the effect of transmigrating to another world seemed to make him look younger, which always caused misunderstandings.

Even at 18, she'd still be seen as a child in front of this person...

Rod was somewhat touched by the other person's concern, and reluctantly raised his hand.

“Rivia, I know you have a lot of questions, but now is not the time to talk about them.”

"Northwest Main Street, Seventh District, Dark Faction Stronghold, with at least three cadres, one of whom is level 5."

"Laila and Kaguya of the Astraea Familia are fighting a level 4 executive there to save me. I've come here for help."

Riveria was taken aback and turned to look at the dwarf.

"What, Grace!"

Loki's Familia member, Chongjie, straightened his helmet and began to organize his men in a clear and methodical manner.

"Noal, Dain, Bala, let's go first."

"Rivieria, have someone inform Finn, and then come back."

"Although Finn is attending a guild meeting, he certainly wouldn't ignore a plea for help from the Familia of Justice!"

However, before he could finish speaking, a figure had already rushed out like the wind.

"I...I'm going now!"

"Ais!"

Rhodes took a breath and looked at everyone gratefully.

"I'll express my gratitude later; I still need to inform the Astrea Familia."

Riveria reached out to stop Rhodes.

"Wait, your body..."

However, before she could finish speaking, Rhodes was once again swept away by a devastating gale.

Rivera lowered her hand from Rhodes's back and stomped her foot in anger and frustration.

"Damn it, why are all the kids these days so disobedient!"

In a corner of the northern district of Orario, there is a small but very beautiful white mansion.

Finally, they saw their final destination, but Rhodes didn't relax for a second.

My lungs felt like they were about to explode, and the pain in my thigh muscles felt like a needle.

Long-distance galloping has exceeded the suitability of a runaway horse, and the silent Suzuka has quietly left the scene without anyone noticing.

In the end, it was entirely up to Rhodes to force himself to start running.

He gritted his teeth, sweat dripping down his face.

"Just a little bit more, hang in there..."

The moment he rushed into the [Garden of Stars], Rhodes shouted out his plea for help in one breath.

I could no longer hear what the girls who rushed out were saying, but the moment I saw that red-haired figure rush out, my tense nerves completely relaxed.

[Level A wish completed]

[Reward level determination in progress...]

[The Prayer Ticket Possession event has temporarily ended...]

His entire body was completely soaked in sweat. Rhodes felt like his body no longer belonged to him. He couldn't even saliva, and he was breathing heavily. His legs were trembling uncontrollably, and his lungs felt like they were about to explode.

Rhodes even felt that he might die on the spot at any moment. Overwhelmed by dizziness, he could no longer hold on and collapsed.

Well, at least don't fall face-first to the ground...

However, instead of falling into the cold ground, he found himself in the warm embrace of the goddess.

Her long, walnut-colored hair was elegantly styled in a bun at the back of her head, and her eyes were a deep blue, like a starry sea.

The goddess gently embraced Rhodes, her voice as soft as a feather, filled with all-encompassing tenderness.

"You've worked hard, it's time for you to rest now~"

The goddess gently stroked Rod's furrowed brow with her slender fingers.

"You've already tried your best."

Rod's tense body gradually relaxed, and in the long-lost sense of security, he drifted off to sleep.

[Reward level determination complete.]

The Dark Faction's stronghold was destroyed; a third of its members were wiped out by Loki's Familia; another third were easily killed by the gray-haired woman; the remaining members were captured by Alicia; executive Vito escaped severely injured; Lyra and Kaguya were unharmed; later, Finn, through clues, learned of the Dark Faction's conspiracy and severely injured the white-haired demon...

[Task completion rate exceeded expectations; petitioner satisfaction was perfect.]

[A-level reward critical hit is equivalent to S-level reward.]

[This is a beginner's quest; the S-rank reward has been upgraded to an EX-rank reward...]

......

“Hmm…”

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Rod slowly opened his eyes.

"Are you awake?"

Putting down her book, the goddess tossed her long walnut-colored hair and walked to the bedside. She leaned down and placed her right hand on Rhodes's cheek, her eyes revealing concern.

"How are you feeling? Maru said you seem to have overused some kind of power and are a bit too exhausted. Kaguya and the others even gave you a bottle of Panacea."

Rhodes felt a little uncomfortable with the warmth on his cheek, so he slowly propped himself up and bent down to move his wrists.

"I'm fine... or rather, I feel refreshed..."

The goddess smiled with lowered eyes and withdrew her right hand.

"Oh, that's good. Everyone is very concerned about you."

Rod suddenly snapped out of his daze and turned his head urgently to ask.

"By the way, how are Kaguya and Lyra doing?"

Chapter 6 Alexandra: How about joining us?

A figure suddenly stumbled in through the door.

"Ouch, Alexie, why did you push me!"

"Hmph, eavesdropping isn't something we righteous and honest people should do! We should peek openly and honestly!"

"Wait... if it's all done openly, it's not considered peeping anymore..."

"that's not important!"

The girls of the Astria Familia seemed to have been waiting outside the door for a long time, and they rushed into the room in twos and threes, unable to wait any longer.

Rhodes felt as if he were in a land of women. The girls' curious gazes made him a little uncomfortable for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

His previous life as a shut-in naturally prevented him from having this mindset, but because of their previous unity, Rhodes was able to unilaterally experience many of Silent Suzuka's experiences in his dreams.

Yes, including the winners' stage...

He had thoroughly experienced the humiliation of singing and dancing awkwardly in front of thousands of people, and thanks to that, this scene now seemed insignificant.
