Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

"No... the one who was beaten out seems to be Allen who has reached level 2!"

And as if he noticed them coming, Roland, who was standing quietly in the middle, swinging his hands casually, also raised his head and looked over.

The unfamiliar guild attendant, Loki, and...Ais Wallenstein.

Soon, Roland's eyes fell on the girl standing in front of Loki.

She has a slender and tall figure, wrapped in a close-fitting light outfit.

The girl has slender, flexible limbs, which are made even more beautiful by the off-shoulder and backless dress with a white base and blue edges, and a skirt that reaches the base of her thighs.

But compared to her slim figure, her face, which is like a porcelain doll, delicate and beautiful, but expressionless, is no less beautiful.

But the most attractive thing is her long golden hair that reaches her waist, which shines like golden sand under the sunlight.

Coupled with the girl's clear and delicate face, looking forward meticulously and expressionless, she not only does not give people a sense of indifference, but instead has a natural nobility.

In this world that Roland no longer has many impressions of, the only thing he still remembers is this girl's name.

Ess Wallenstein was a truly high-level adventurer. She was the absolute main force in any family. The records of great achievements she created in the dungeon were broken again and again by the girl. The record of reaching level 2 in just one year at the age of eight was still talked about with relish.

Because of the girl's exquisite sword skills and the strength of her main god, she was given the title of "Sword Princess", but more people who have seen the girl fight call her the more appropriate nickname "War Princess".

With her legendary experience and beauty that even the goddesses from heaven would envy, she is even more famous among adventurers than many gods from smaller clans. In fact, many adventurers around Roland have been attracted by Aisi's arrival and are looking at her with envy and admiration.

But Ai Si seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of treatment. She just turned her adorable face in Roland's direction and looked at him calmly.

"So, what is going on here?"

But the impatient god had no intention of appreciating this atmosphere. She just walked in carelessly, looked around and asked.

"Didn't you tell me to maintain order? How come everything ended so quickly?"

"Excuse me, Lord Loki!"

Aegina trotted over and told Loki the whole story.

"Wow," such an interesting thing immediately attracted the goddess's attention, and she walked towards Roland in a rather nonchalant manner.

"You defeated a level 2 adventurer as a human without any grace, and you still want to enter the dungeon in this state?"

Loki narrowed his eyes and flashed a hint of amusement. He walked around Roland, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

But until the end, the smile on Roland's face did not change at all.

He looks good, but it's a pity that he is a boy, not as good as our Ai Si Tan.

Loki looked at Roland carefully, trying to find something special about him. Such a feat was no less than a great achievement. It wouldn't be long before other gods would flock to him.

"Boy, have you really never received any favor?"

"No."

Roland admitted this in a very affirmative tone, and the truth contained in this answer made Loki's eyes flicker.

I wouldn't have picked up a treasure, would I?

With a simple hobby of collecting, Loki invited Roland.

"So, do you want to join my clan?"

This straightforward invitation caused an uproar around them. As the strongest clan, there were basically no level 1 members in the Loki clan, because their staff was already saturated and there was no need to recruit new members to supplement themselves.

"No, I just defeated a level 2. If I join your clan like this, won't all the glory be taken away by you? By then, everyone in Orario will say that you are the one who recognized talent, and my glory will be overshadowed."

Roland looked at Loki and said frankly, "What I want is for everyone to praise me and give me looks of admiration and respect."

"Hahahaha!"

Loki held his stomach, as if he was about to laugh until tears came out.

"This is a treatment that even gods may not get. To be honest, if it doesn't rely on some special abilities, I have never seen a guy who can gain everyone's admiration. Among the children in the underworld, this is the first time I have met such an arrogant person as you."

Roland also smiled and retorted to Loki: "Being arrogant also requires skills."

"Besides, there are obviously people like this. They use their own strength to push the times forward. Just by existing there, looking at their backs, one can have the thought from the bottom of one's heart that one also wants to be like them. Such people have existed for a thousand years."

Loki's smile suddenly faded, and his narrowed eyes opened a little, flashing with a gleam of light.

If the previous invitation was just a whim, then Roland now has completely aroused her interest.

"I see, you want to be a hero."

Loki saw through Roland's plan. "After the gods came, such people are rare. After all, heroes are often born in adversity, which is a miracle worthy of worship. In this era, it is much more difficult to achieve this. I have seen countless people with heroic qualities, but in this era of gods, no one has achieved this."

"That's why heroes have weight."

Roland's lips curled up into a meaningful smile: "Orario is too boring now. The gods are busy enjoying themselves, the clans are fighting for immediate interests, and the adventurers treat exploration as work, and progress is stagnant."

“So, they need new guidance.”

"Are you provoking me?"

Loki looked at the serious Roland and instead of feeling angry, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth because of the interesting development of the situation.

"In recent years, I have indeed been a little lazy, but I don't mean to argue with myself. The current development of events is very regular. The current prosperity is a microcosm of the pain in the past. Even as one of the strongest families in Orario, we cannot change the general trend of the people in the lower world."

"Well, isn't it enough as long as I'm stronger than everyone else?"

Roland chuckled and stared at Loki.

"In the dining etiquette of the nobility, if someone takes the napkin on the right first, then the others have to take the napkin on the right. This is what is called - society."

"Since no one has dared to pick up the first napkin, let me do it."

So beautiful.

Even though his favorite girl was a cute one, Loki couldn't help but sigh for the shining Roland in front of him.

The people of the underworld cannot lie in front of the gods. As the famous god of mischief, Loki retains keen insight on top of this ability.

She knew that Roland wanted to do it from the bottom of his heart and believed that he could do it. His arrogance was even beyond that of God.

It’s really, really interesting!

Regardless of whether the other party will fail or succeed, the development of events will definitely exceed their expectations. Even Loki's family, who are the strongest, may be irreversibly affected in this impending storm.

So Loki couldn't refuse at all.

She came here just to see a child like this.

"In that case, you want a stepping stone, right? Then I'll help you. You want to gain fame and become a hero, right? I have an option that's more suitable for you than the dungeon."

Wanting to see what possibilities this child had, and how promising his future would be, Loki took a few steps back, stretched out his hand, and pointed at Roland.

"In that case, let's fight our Ai Si Tan."

"Wow—"

Following Loki's declaration, the noisy scene around him instantly quieted down, and there was complete silence.

Even Ai Si was slightly stunned.

"Are you kidding me, fighting with Sword Princess?"

"That's level 5..."

Different from the traditional cross-level challenges, grace is the power to discover potential and possibilities. Each level up requires corresponding courage and ability to accomplish great things. Therefore, the gap between levels is almost qualitative.

When it reaches the lv5 level, it can be said to be another kind of creature. Like the lv2 level that was previously counted as Superman, Aisi can tear the opponent's body into pieces with just a wave of her hand.

But neither Roland nor Loki looked away.

"As long as you can gain her approval, even if you win, the Loki Familia will do their best to build momentum for you, complete your plan, and meet your reasonable demands as much as possible."

Loki turned around and looked at Ais.

"Although this is our most proud child, we have to admit that she is a bit stubborn. She will judge your strength from the most fair perspective, even if you lose right from the start."

"What's the price?"

After hearing Roland's words, Loki, who felt that the other party had fallen into his trap, narrowed his eyes in pleasure again.

"It's simple. If you can't meet the requirements, then join my clan and I will also fulfill the previous conditions."

"That makes sense. Please advise me, Miss Aisi."

Roland raised the corner of his mouth and nodded to Ai Si.

"Don't say I'm bullying you. No matter what weapon you're good at or what kind of preparations you make, you can go to the guild and I'll cover all the expenses. Besides, Aisi doesn't know how to use the sword that she's best at."

After hearing Loki's order, Ais remained expressionless. She withdrew her hand that was about to draw the sword, raised her foot, and walked to the opposite side of Roland.

"That's not necessary. As long as we win, that's all that matters... Then, open your eyes and watch. This is proof that I'm a hero."

Amid the surprised looks of the crowd, Roland took the hand of Esther beside him.

"Ester?"

"I am my master's sword."

The silver-haired, mouthless girl suddenly radiated a tremendous divine power, and responded to Roland in a calm yet resolute tone.

As the magic power was drawn away, feeling the constantly pulsating contract and connection, Roland recited the spiritual words to summon the elves without hesitation.

"Cold Queen of Steel, holy sword that slays demons! -- Transform into a sword of steel and grant me divine power."

The elf seal in Roland's hand slowly burst into light, and Esther's body turned into dreamy light particles, exploding and gathering in the hand that was clasped with Roland.

"Ms. Ais, you'd better draw your sword."

Roland grasped the silver-white holy sword with golden inscriptions and sacred crystals on its surface. He slowly raised it and looked at the inscriptions on the sword. A hint of coldness flashed in his deep eyes.

Holding this living holy sword tightly, Roland felt as if his spirit had merged with it. In his hands, the destructive power of this holy sword was definitely not inferior to that of a so-called A-level treasure, and it might even be better.

"I don't want to be too rude, but if you fight me unarmed, you will undoubtedly die in my hands."

Chapter 117 The Hero Arrives

"This is……"

Seeing this scene, Loki subconsciously opened his eyes wide, and Ess took a step forward unconsciously. An uncontrollable wavering appeared in her eyes. Looking at Esther who was slowly rising, she squeezed out the name that made her dream from the depths of her throat.

"Immortal essence..."

Pure, sacred, powerful, it seemed as if all the beauty in the world could be tied to the holy sword transformed by the girl.

The moment the girl called Sword Princess saw Esther, her body began to tremble, which was unusual.

She stared at the holy sword with dazed and confused eyes, and then gradually shifted her gaze to Roland who was holding the sword.

If other people saw Ai Si's loss of composure, it would definitely cause an uproar in Orario. But now, the Sword Lady's glory has been completely taken away by Roland.

"It's a fairy spirit! In the legend..."

"Hero! A living hero!"

Any adventurer would have heard of the legend of the hero, and that is why they were shocked by Roland's appearance.

Boiling.

The spectators, who were already surprised and curious about the development of the situation, seemed to be ignited in an instant. Noisy sounds surged out like a tide. Although many adventurers looked back unwillingly, they ran out quickly, ready to inform the clan's main god of the news.

The only ones who could remain calm were Roland, who was smiling, and Loki, who had his eyes wide open.

"Ais!"

She used a rather stern voice to wake up Ais, who had stopped and stood there in shock.

"Draw your sword. This kid is not joking. You can't hold back in this fight."

As if she realized something, strong emotions emerged in Aisi's crystal clear eyes. She drew the sword at her waist with the most solemn attitude in her life, and then, the next moment, she turned into an afterimage that was difficult to capture with the naked eye and rushed towards Roland.

"It's a strong desire to win, which deserves praise,"

Roland said with ease, simply raising his hand to casually block Esther's attack, allowing the huge amount of magic power to spread through Esther.

Unlike before, as the best among the lv5, Ai Si's level was just what Roland wanted. In other words, fighting at this level made him feel more comfortable.

"But the result won't change at all, I win anyway!"

Roland lowered his body slightly, bent his toes, and shot out like an arrow, actively heading towards Ais.

After realizing that Roland's speed was no less than hers, Ai Si quickly rushed to the side, looking for new opportunities.

"If you can't win in strength, then you should find another way?"
