The Cloud-Raised Brave Man's Travels

Perhaps sensing the sudden presence of several more auras in Koya's bedroom, Hestia, who was in the bedroom next to him, pushed the door open without stopping. Seeing the four girls who suddenly appeared, the expression on Hestia's face was indescribable, and in the end she could only utter one sentence.

"Koya, are your kidneys still holding up? Do you want me to go to Mihe to get you some medicine? Mihe's medicine is trustworthy—"

Koya, who had just risen from the bed to explain, fell silent upon hearing Hestia's words. He controlled the divine domain to close the door, and then a fierce battle ensued. Hestia was so delighted that she was drunk, her thoughts on buying medicine for Koya had completely disappeared. Grayfia and Ophis's first time also contributed to this. Ophis, who was experiencing such a thrilling activity for the first time, seemed to have turned on a special switch. He was completely glued to Koya and would not let go, even when he was having sex with other women, he would lie on his back.

The battle lasted until midnight, and finally, the six of them lay together in bed. Koya used the fire element to dry out the moisture, the water element to cleanse the stains, and the wind element to disperse the smell. However, the bed in Koya's bedroom was just a standard double bed, so Hestia and Ophelia lay in Koya's arms, while the other three lay on either side of him, barely enough for the six of them.

"So what world did you go to this time?"

"A world somewhat similar to ours, a world where gods, demons, angels, and fallen angels all coexist. The girl I brought back, Irina, is an angel, Xenovia is a fallen angel, Grayfia is a demon, and Ophis is a dragon, the strongest dragon in that world."

"No, that red guy is better than me."

"Ophis will definitely be stronger than that red guy. When we become stronger, we can beat him together!"

"it is good!"

When Koya and Orpheus were interacting intimately and were about to fight again, Hestia rubbed her temples. Starting from Tiamat, the number of people Koya brought back became more and more exaggerated. If other gods knew that there were so many gods without sealing power hidden in their own family, it would be a big trouble.

Hestia carefully broke the seal a little bit to test the strength of Xenovia and the others. Although there were certain risks in doing so, she had to do it in order to find out the situation.

Xenovia is Lv8, Irina is Lv7, Grayfia is Lv11, and Ophis is Lv.12 (half of Ophis's infinite power was stuffed into Koya). How can this be explained? Grayfia and Ophis naturally can't join the Hestia Familia, but Xenovia and Irina can still join. Once they join the Familia, the Hestia Familia will instantly jump to the top of Orario. Even Freya's Familia would dare to go head-to-head with Hestia. This is Lv.8! Even during the Zeus-Hera era, she was one of the strongest fighters!

"How are you going to accommodate Xenovia and the others?"

"Well, we already discussed it in that world. Xenovia and Irina would join our Familia, while Grayfia would join the Hestia Alliance as a god, just like Ophis and Ishtar."

"Really!"

Although she already had some vague guesses in her mind, Hestia was still very happy to hear Koya's answer. Hestia happily kissed Koya on the face twice and then asked Xenovia and Irina to lie on the bed and couldn't wait to start bestowing gifts on them.

Soon, the attributes of the two people's panels were displayed in front of Hestia, and Koya also looked at them curiously.

Xenovia: Level 8 (Even when given a gift, it is still Level 1, no matter how powerful it is, but this was changed for plot advancement)

Attributes: All zero, omitted.

Equipment: [Holy Sword of Destruction]

Magic: [Fallen Angel] Instant Status: Entering the Fallen Angel state will greatly increase all attributes and allow the use of light attribute magic. Side effect: Inner desires will be magnified

【】【】

Skills: [Agility] Significantly increases agility. [Firm Faith] Ignores mental attacks and skill buffs.

Compared to Koya, their dashboards were simple, but most adventurers in Orario were even simpler. For example, there was an ordinary high-level adventurer in the Loki family, known as "Ordinary Man" by the gods. Even though he had reached Lv. 5, he had no magic and no skills. After completing the Blessing Ceremony, Koya lay down on the bed under everyone's curious gaze and began updating his dashboard.

A few seconds later, the attribute panel appeared before Hestia. As expected, all attributes had reached their maximum value of Lv. 4, ready for direct upgrade. And whoever provided the Great Deed should be the time traveler, Lin Fei, or Vali? It's worth noting that while Koya's strength was overwhelming in Rias's eyes, the Gift only calculated Great Deeds based on his Lv. 4 level. According to this calculation process, even a Lv. 4 Koya would naturally be a Great Deed, even if Lin Fei was Lv. 10 or Vali was Lv. 11.

A few more skills had been added. First, the Destruction Force and Red Dragon Heart that Rias had purchased in the store. Then, the Sekiryuutei's Gauntlet had appeared in the equipment column. Finally, the highlight was Ophis's Infinite Power...

In the skill column on the panel, the infinite power is described as follows.

【Infinite Power (Fake)】Energy is inexhaustible.

A few simple words cannot fully reflect the value of this skill, but at the same time, this skill does not need too many words to describe it, because its effect is so simple and crude; it is well known that releasing magic consumes energy. Take Koya as an example. After he transforms into the complete form of the Black Dragon, the breath attack he releases lasts for one minute and the cooldown time is thirty seconds. With this skill, as long as his body can withstand it, his breath can continue.

And the magic that summoned the hellhound was finally able to summon the complete hundred-headed dog Cerberus.

Even though this infinite power is followed by a pseudo-word, half of infinity is still infinity.

However, perhaps because Koya had brought too many surprises to Hestia, Hestia was not surprised by Koya's skill for too long. Because the stats had been maxed out, Hestia directly began to upgrade Koya. Soon the development path was presented to her. Perhaps because Koya did not fight many battles or do any training during this upgrade, there were few development paths this time.

Development path: [Reader E] [Cowherd E]

Hestia looked at the two paths, feeling lost for words. She angrily slapped Koya on the back twice. However, she still told Koya the two paths and let him choose. Koya was also somewhat speechless about the two paths. The reader probably got the path because he spent his free time reading in the library while with Rias and the others, while the cowherd...

Koya glanced at Xenovia and the others around him and felt that this development path was indeed worth it.

"These two development paths are quite common, and their abilities have been largely explored. Reader can enhance your memory and help you understand the knowledge in books more quickly, which is a very good development direction. As for Cowherd... its function is to increase your charm and strengthen that ability, and also greatly increase the other person's physical sensitivity during exercise. Which one do you want to choose, Koya?"

After hearing Hestia's introduction, Koya's eyes lit up and he chose without hesitation - the cowherd!

"I see, Reader... Wait, what did you choose?"

"Hestia, don't you want to be more comfortable? Besides, the Reader is actually of no use to me."

"You... ahem, okay."

Hestia thought about it and realized that what Koya said made sense. With Koya's current luxurious panel, he didn't need a reader. On the contrary, she was actually quite curious about this gigolo. Koya was already very powerful without this skill. If he had it, wouldn't she be so happy? Thinking of this, Hestia stopped talking and completed Koya's upgrade.

After the upgrade, Koya once again enveloped the room in divine territory, ensuring that no sound could be heard. He then eagerly began practicing his development path, and the first beneficiary was naturally Hestia.

A spear thrust through a door, a powerful palm crushed two peaks, a single phrase unleashed a thousand waves—Hestia, who could usually hold out for ages, was now completely defeated after only thirty minutes, lying there in a daze, as if drunk. It was clear that Koya's newly acquired path of development had had a significant impact. Xenovia and the others, observing Hestia's expression, were curious about Koya's evolution and joined the fray.

Just after Koya had dealt with all the women in the room, his door was pushed open. It was Haruhime who came to call him to get up for dinner. Seeing the prosperous scene in the room, Haruhime was completely stunned. Although she had seen more exaggerated scenes than this, she was a participant at that time. Now, as a bystander, Haruhime directly felt how shocking the scene before her was. Haruhime's brain short-circuited in an instant. She didn't know what to say now...

"Haruhime? Ah, it's already this hour."

Koya gently placed Orpheus, who was gasping for breath like a stranded fish, into Xenovia's arms. There was a sound of a wave when he left her body. Then he used the divine domain to clean up the few people again. After covering them with a quilt so that they could rest comfortably, he quickly put on a piece of clothing under Haruhime's gaze. The clothing was made of the dragon scales of the Black Dragon. Koya finally mastered this skill after upgrading to Lv.5 this time. Now he was wearing similar clothes to the first time he went to the Terra world.

A black dress with red patterns embellished on it makes her look both noble and mysterious.

Koya walked up to Haruhime, hugged her in his arms, and rubbed Haruhime's fox ears with his chin. Hmm, the soft fox smells so good.

"Husband~~"

Chun Ji came back to her senses the moment Koya hugged her. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Chun Ji always felt that Koya seemed to be emitting a pleasant smell today. She lay in Koya's arms and subconsciously put her arms around his waist.

"Well, what happened?"

"Can you take me with you next time?"

"Okay~"

Koya hugged Haruhime and walked into the restaurant. The girls were already sitting at the dining table waiting for Koya's arrival. Because Hestia was still lying on the bed, Haruhime prepared today's breakfast, which consisted of rice, grilled fish, soup and a small dish of pickled vegetables. Although the portion was not large, it looked quite exquisite.

"Hmm - Koya, did you get a plastic surgery last night? Why do you look so handsome again?"

Ishtar floated in the air and circled around Koya curiously for a few times. She even leaned over to smell his scent. It was indeed different from yesterday. How could the change be so big?

Koya seized the opportunity and grabbed Ishtar and hugged her. Now Koya had Haruhime on his left and Ishtar on his right. Outsiders didn't know what to make of this scene.

Ailei looked at Ishtar with some dissatisfaction. She just wanted to take her place, but her personality did not allow her to do so. She could only speak sourly.

"Koya, if you were in Greece, you'd be considered a 'great hero'."

It is well known that the great Greek heroes were extremely united in one respect—

Chapter 228: Competition with Aisi

After breakfast, Koya did not go to the dungeon for adventure today. After waiting for Hestia and the others to rest and come downstairs, he took his family shopping and also took Xenovia and the others to meet Orario.

There were quite a lot of people going out this time. Needless to say, the four of Xenovia were there, and the gods who had nothing to do at home also joined in the fun. Now there were almost ten people in the group going out, and they were quite conspicuous walking on the street.

The group's first destination was Hephaestus's Familia. Of course, given the Hestia Familia's current financial situation, they couldn't go shopping. They simply wanted to take Xenovia and the others to meet Hestia's friends. Unfortunately, Hephaestus was crafting something at the forge when they arrived, so they didn't meet. But as long as they remembered the location, they could come and craft armor or upgrade their holy swords with Hephaestus' help.

Then Koya and his group went to the Mih family's pharmacy, the abundant hostess's frequent dining place, the shopping street that Grayfia strongly requested, the ruins of the Yahweh family that Xenovia and the others requested (they were not in Orario, they were out preaching)... and finally the most eye-catching and important place in Orario - the Tower of Babel.

"This is the entrance to the underground city. Inside the tower are some shops, meeting rooms, and the strongholds of a few clans."

"Koya, with our strength, how many levels do you think we need to be able to train?"

"At least the deep levels, but our clan hasn't experienced a successful expedition yet, and we know nothing about the middle and deep levels of the dungeon. After I return from Terra, our Hestia clan can consider launching our first expedition."

Koya stared at the bluestone floor beneath his feet with a burning gaze, as if his eyes could see through the earth to the mysterious dungeon. As an ambitious adventurer, Koya longed to go deep into the dungeon and discover all its secrets. He had no doubts about whether he had the ability to do so. After all, it took him less than a year to become an adventurer and reach Level 5. If the Zeus and Hera families were the closest to the truth about the dungeon, then Koya and the Hestia families were the ones who were closest to the truth about the dungeon now.

The three major commissions of the dungeon, the three kings of land, sea and air, and the one-eyed black dragon that once defeated the Zeus and Hera families, these are all Koya's goals!

"Come to think of it, our clan is still lacking a member who can draw maps..."

While Koya's divine domain could be used for exploration, its coverage was limited. The deeper layers were even larger than the city of Orario, and Koya's divine domain simply couldn't cover them. The hunters of Artemis's family weren't good at map-making; after all, their range before coming to Orario was limited, so learning such a skill wasn't necessary. The Aphrodite family was even worse; they didn't even enjoy dungeons, preferring instead to grind potions and forge.

I'll talk to Hestia about it after I get back. Now that the Hestia family has Koya as their face, they don't need Hestia to beg others to join the family like before. Now only others can beg to join Hestia's family, just like when Koya went to Loki's family to work as a bricklayer hoping to join the family!

Just as Koya and his family were about to leave, two familiar figures emerged from the dungeon. They were Aisi, who seemed to spend her days in the dungeon, and her minion, Lefiya. If Koya's memory was correct, Koya and Aisi had just sparred last night in this world, and the current time was around ten o'clock the next morning. This meant that after beating Koya up yesterday, Aisi had immediately gone back to the dungeon and had spent the entire night there, only just emerging...

Ais's passion for the dungeon, or rather her passion for becoming stronger, made Koya feel terrified. It is certainly right to desire to become stronger, but someone like Ais is like a blazing flame. If there is any mistake, the flame will be extinguished.

"Keya~~"

Lefiya no longer cared about other people's opinions. After pulling Ai Si and walking quickly to Koya, she jumped up and hugged Koya. The elf who had made up her mind to snatch Ai Si from Koya a few months ago has now been completely conquered by Koya.

"Aisi, are you guys going to the dungeon again?"

Koya hugged Lefiya, making her hang on him more comfortably, and then looked at Ais; Ais was still the same as usual, with no expression on her face, and there was no sign of fatigue on her face even after fighting in the dungeon all night.

"Well, after sparring with you last night, I felt like I had gained something, so I went to the dungeon to try it out."

Aisi nodded, then walked over to Keya and sniffed him. It had only been one night, so why was Keya's peculiar scent even stronger? If Keya had only made her feel concerned before, now Aisi wanted to be by his side constantly—and, of course, be ready to strike at any moment.

And this time she felt the same impulse in the little girl next to Koya, but there was a hint of danger in the impulse of that little girl, as if she would die without a burial place if she took action... As expected, she should just keep an eye on Koya.

"Koya, can you fight me again?"

"Now? Don't you need a break?"

Koya actually wanted to compete with Aisi. He had now upgraded to Lv.5 and wanted to see if his current strength could match Aisi's. However, he was still a little worried about Aisi's condition. Not to mention that she had stayed in the dungeon all night last night. Koya remembered that before he competed with Aisi last night, he happened to meet Aisi who had just left the dungeon. In other words... Aisi hadn't rested for at least two days. Even a Lv.6 strength couldn't withstand her treatment.

"It's ok."

"No, Lefiya, take Aisi back to your Familia and get some rest. As for the sparring, come find me at Hestia's Familia when you've rested. I won't refuse. I hope to spar with you when you're in your best condition."

"I see."

After carefully feeling her physical condition, Ais did feel a little tired. Although this tiredness had little impact on her body, Ais also wanted to face the battle with Koya in the best condition, so she turned around and left without hesitation, not even caring about Lefiya.

"Hey, Miss Ais, wait for me—"

Seeing Ai Si leaving, Lefiya did not stay with Koya. She hurried away and trotted to catch up with the leaving Ai Si.

After the two left, Koya took his family back to the family. When Koya returned home, the hunters that Atalanta took to adventure in the dungeon also returned to the family. Speaking of which, Hestia's family is going to expand again. Under the initial arrangement of one room per person, there are not many vacant rooms in the new house built by Hestia.

Grayfia and Haruhime cooked dinner together. With the help of Grayfia's strong working ability, they even prepared dinner for the members of Artemis's family and Aphrodite's family. It's just that the dining table at home was not big enough, so they had to eat in the living room. However, the food that Grayfia and the others served was delicious, and they had no complaints.

"Hestia, it looks like our Familia really needs to recruit people."

"Indeed...cleaning the annex, cooking, and washing clothes are things that cannot be left to Haruhime alone. Although the Afu clan members often help out, the workload is still a bit heavy."

"Hestia, I have only one request, no men!"

"Idiot, I wouldn't have admitted it even if you hadn't told me."

·Dividing line·

The next day, Koya was still nestled in Hatsune's arms, feeling the soft, sweet embrace, when Ais arrived. The sun had barely risen above the city walls of Orario, and even the adventurers were still at home, washing up and eating breakfast. Even Lefiya, Ais's little charm, didn't show up this time, which gave you a glimpse of how early she'd arrived.

This time, Koya did not fight with Ais in the city, but took her to a deserted plain outside Orario. Well... it was the place where Ares' army fought with the Orario adventurers last time. The terrain here is open and sparsely populated, which is very suitable for fighting.

This time, Koya was planning to have a good fight with Ais—

A breeze blew across the plain, and the dust was blown up by the wind. The smoke and dust could not block the vision of the two people, but it was like a signal. When the wind carried the smoke and dust away into the distance, Koya and Ais moved at the same time.

Koya's body was covered with black scales, and Aisi was surrounded by wind elves. The next second, a crisp collision sound was heard, and the Sword of Salvation in Koya's hand and the Sword of Despair in Aisi's hand met in the air, emitting sparks.

Then, a continuous sound of swords exploded at this moment, and the black and blue phantoms collided, separated, and then collided again -

Koya stared closely at Ai Si in front of him. With the blessing of the Black Dragon state, his attributes were no less than those of Lv.6 Ai Si. Koya should even be better than Ai Si in terms of strength and endurance, but Ai Si also had her own advantages. Her speed was faster than Koya's. Although it was not so fast that he could not see clearly, Koya really had to be very focused if he wanted to keep up with her speed.

Meanwhile, a strange emotion welled up in Aisi's heart. It had only been a day since she'd fought Koya, but in that same day, Koya had already grown to rival her own strength. Aisi had watched Koya's growth, step by step, from taking a deep breath even when slaying goblins to now facing the mid-level monster sea with aplomb. In just under six months, he had surpassed her own pace of over a decade.

Ai Si couldn't help but recall the question she asked Koya when they first met: "How did you become stronger so quickly?"

Ais didn't understand the emotion that was swirling within her at the moment, but she swung her sword even harder, her steps becoming more chaotic, and the urge within her towards Koya grew even stronger.

Aisi vaguely sensed the true nature of the compulsion that had been swirling deep within her... it was murderous intent, the uncontrollable killing intent that followed the monsters she encountered in the dungeon. With this realization, red particles began to appear within the cyan light that enveloped Aisi. These particles surged from various parts of her body toward the sword in her hand. Soon, as all the red particles converged in her hand, the cyan wind surrounding Aisi transformed into pure black.

As Ai's opponent, Koya noticed something was wrong at the first moment. The sword in Ai's hand became heavier, and his strength was no longer as strong as Ai's.
