The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

Beastmen are monsters strong enough to harm some Lv.2 adventurers, but the Minotaur girl stubbornly parried their attacks with her shield.

At the same level and ability value, the strength of the Lilliputians can't compare to that of the Minotaurs or Boarmen; with the same ability value, the magic power of the Elves is simply greater.

The Lilliputians have the worst basic abilities of all races. Strength, agility, endurance, and magic are all lacking. Their only redeeming quality is their dexterity, which is only comparable to that of humans, and they don't even have the forging talent of the Dwarves.

He drew his bow fully, and the arrow struck the thick wooden club in the Beastman's hand, the sudden impact interrupting the attack of one of the Beastmen.

The attack from one side was once again resolved by Shirou Emiya's shot. On the other side, she directly abandoned parrying with her greatsword, using her shoulder armor to withstand the Beastman's attack. Then, to the Beastman's shock, she raised her greatsword.

The greatsword in her hand suddenly accelerated, unexpectedly smashing into the skull of a Beastman accompanied by a roar.

“ROAR!!!” The Minotaur girl let out a savage roar more terrifying than the monsters.

The last Beastman seemed to be frightened as well, dropping his weapon and turning to run.

“AH!!!”

She twisted the Beastman's head off its body.

Afterward, Nilan, covered in blood, turned her head with a smile and gave Leffiya and the others a thumbs up.

Chapter 18: Possible Cooperation with the Loki Familia

“I didn't feel any pain at the time... Ah, ouch, ouch, ouch, be gentle, Leffiya-chan.”

“Do you want to use a Panacea?”

“Just endure it a little, I'll cast a healing spell for you.”

Nilan's challenge was successful. The next time they meet, she may have already leveled up and become a Lv.2 adventurer.

“Huh? What's wrong, Leffiya?”

“No, actually, it should be that I'm more influenced by Leffiya.”

“Eh?”

“I joined the school district a year earlier than Leffiya, but Leffiya leveled up first. I can't help but feel pressured.”

Also, taking care of newbies is really tiring. The mental pressure is so great. Just now, I almost rushed out several times. Fortunately, nothing happened in the end.

The first thing to do upon returning to the surface is to exchange the spoils for Valis.

Magic stones and ordinary drops are directly collected by the Guild. High-value items like Blue Butterfly powder have very low repurchase prices at the Guild. It's better to sell them directly to medical-type Familias, such as the Dian Cecht Familia.

“I didn't expect to earn so much Valis.”

“It wouldn't normally be like this, because Shirou's kill efficiency is too high. Of course, it's also because we were lucky enough to encounter Blue Butterflies.”

“Hey, those guys actually earned so much.”

“Are you crazy? That's the 【Exceptional One's】 team...”

“Get out of the way.” He said coldly.

“Yes!”

The man who had previously shown a greedy attitude actually ran away with his tail between his legs.

This is the disparity of the world.

“Mr. Shirou.” Leffiya called out to Shirou, who was about to leave: “Thank you, thank you very much for your help!”

“If possible, I hope to repay you!”

“Okay~ Ability update complete.” Hestia said: “For a single adventure, it's a considerable improvement, especially in dexterity and magic.”

Agility: H104 - H112

Development Ability:

Magic

【Unlimited Blade Works】

【????? (Roadless Valhalla)】

“Of course, starting from i0 is when ability values increase the fastest. It will drop to normal speed at G200, and the rate of increase will continue to decrease after D500. The closer you get to the bottleneck, the more it's like this.” Hestia said: “Your rate of improvement is already extremely fast. If this continues, breaking that 【Sword Princess's】 record is very likely.”

“Oh~ The Loki Familia and Ganesha Familia have also obtained good rookies, that's a good thing.” Hestia nodded.

Among these four major Familias, the overall relationship is quite close, except for the Freya Familia, which is a bit cold because they don't like to communicate with other Familias. At most, there will be some slight jealousy when they learn that each other has obtained potential rookies.

The more high-level powerhouses there are in one's own camp, the better. The more children with potential, the better. Even the Freya Familia, who seems a bit neurotic to outsiders, can tentatively be considered part of one's own camp.

“Speaking of which, our Familia doesn't independently conduct deep expeditions.” Hestia said: “Although we also nurture adventurers, the number and strength are not enough to organize deep expeditions.”

“The most frequent cooperation is with the Loki Familia, so it's good that you and the Loki Familia's child are cooperating, but...” Hestia sized up Shirou, smiling as she said: “But if it's a marriage or becoming an adopted son-in-law, I won't accept it. I'd welcome it if you married in.”

“Shirou wants to deliberately train his dexterity, meow?” Anya asked.

“Indeed, meow. Those guys who only have one or two ability values that have just reached D (500), and who hastily level up after completing a single great feat, that's all they'll ever be. Anya always upgrades her agility to A or above before leveling up!” The Cat-person girl said proudly.

“Raul? 【Exceptional One】?” Anya said: “In his case, he should be a prime example of someone without outstanding abilities. Because in the Loki Familia, you can accumulate great feats by participating in expeditions to level up, but each time it's probably because his abilities are too average, barely meeting the requirements in each category, so he never obtains skills or magic.”

Shirou braced himself, and then he saw Anya open her mouth, chanting rapidly.

“Eh?” Ryu subconsciously did the same, and then—

“Ugh—”

By the time Shirou realized he needed to cover his ears, it was already too late.

【Reminiscence Felis】, an ultra-wide-area sonic magic that reduces the condition of those who hear it. While it won't lower a person's level by that much, it is still one of the most powerful debuff magics and can even hinder the affected person's development abilities, skills, and magic.

“Idiot cat! What are you howling about in the middle of the night?!!!”

“Anya always does things without thinking. Let's run, before Mama Mia's anger spreads to us.” Syer decisively pulled Ryu and the still-dizzy Shirou, abandoning all sense of loyalty and running away.

The girl narrowed her eyes slightly, speaking quietly.

“Oh, you mean Leffiya. She's indeed a good child.” Shirou thought for a moment, speaking candidly.

“Speaking of which, how did Syer know?” Shirou asked.

“Ah, that's right. An 【Exceptional One】 came to eat dinner, and after a few flattering words, he told us a lot of things. Shirou hadn't returned yet at that time.” Syer smiled, while giving Ryu a disappointed look.

Nirlan charged forward alone, challenging the three Orcs.

Her endurance and strength were quite high, and combat power isn't entirely determined by ability scores.

This was the innate violence of race and bloodline.

Kone, the Lilliputian, looked at the Minotaur girl wrestling with the Orcs with envious eyes.

Although humans don't have particularly advantageous abilities, they can still produce many heroes with their numerical advantage.

And the Lilliputians need to put in several times the effort to achieve the same accomplishments as humans.

"The great cause of adventurers..." Wemiya also muttered softly.

The shield in Nirlan's hand wasn't ordinary, but it still couldn't completely deflect the impact. She was injured by the Orc's heavy blow, but instead let out a deafening roar.

The skill [Wild Rage] was activated, increasing attack power after being injured. The more severe the injury, the greater the increase, while judgment decreased accordingly.

Blood splattered everywhere. The dark red blood seemed to further enrage the Minotaur girl, who directly threw the shield in her hand as a projectile, breaking the nose of another Orc, followed by a jumping heavy chop, smashing half of the Orc's body from the shoulder.

Wemiya raised his hand and drew his bow, then shot an arrow through the monster's knee. The Orc fell to the ground in a panic, and Nirlan, catching up, didn't use her sword to slash, but instead threw the sword away and wrapped her arms around the Orc's neck from behind.

"The bones in his shoulder should be broken. I'm impressed you could still lift your sword and chop down in that situation."

"Panacea?! 500,000 Valis per bottle, I'd better endure it..."

"Levia also knows healing magic? Amazing!"

Levia, also a girl, supported her, seeming a bit strained due to the height difference.

"Nirlan, thank you," Levia said.

"Just like you said, Wemiya's fighting stance inspired you, Nirlan's appearance in battle also touched me..."

......

What was originally an ordinary adventure ended up being a slightly unusual conclusion. Raul could only sigh, the newcomers these days are really something else.

The group didn't delve any further and returned to the surface. Nothing unexpected happened along the way. Whenever they encountered monsters, Wemiya easily killed them.

After discussing, the group decided to sell to Raul at 90% of the market average price, for Raul to resell to the Dian Cecht Familia. The 10% difference would be considered a thank you, and whether he could sell it at a higher price to earn the difference would depend on Mr. Raul's ability.

When it came time to divide the money, although Wemiya hoped for an equal distribution, everyone else objected. The final result was that Wemiya would receive 40% alone, and the others would each receive 20%.

"Isn't one of them a child? Should we..."

Raul noticed the voices of these hoodlum adventurers and cast a cold gaze over them, silencing everyone in his sight.

Although within the Loki Familia, [Overlord] Raul was the object of "oppression" by the Lv.4, Lv.5, and Lv.6 adventurers, and had a kind and amiable image in front of newcomers, in the eyes of ordinary adventurers, Lv.4 was as powerful and terrifying as a demon god.

Wemiya Shirou

Lv.1

Strength: H120 - H131

Endurance: G203 - G205

Dexterity: F332 - F364

Magic: G248 - G283

Skills

[Oath under the Snow]

"It doesn't seem to be improving as fast as it did at the beginning," Wemiya Shirou said.

Currently, the fastest record for leveling up from Lv.1 to Lv.2 in Orario is held by the Loki Familia's [Sword Princess] Aiz Wallenstein, taking one year.

"Did anything interesting happen during the adventure?" the goddess asked.

For them, the interesting stories that happen to their children are the most important, and it could even be said to be their main purpose for descending to the lower world.

Wemiya recounted the entire adventure, including the talents of Levia and the others, Nirlan's challenge, and so on.

The three strongest familias at the top of Orario are the Freya Familia, the Loki Familia, and the Ganesha Familia. Considering their strong economic strength, the Hephaestus Familia can barely be considered the fourth.

These familias, as well as the destroyed Astraea Familia, were comrades-in-arms who fought against the Evilus during the dark period of Orario.

And even though the dark period has passed, it cannot be ruled out that there will be even greater crises in the future, requiring the power of everyone.

"Our familia's upper-level adventurers above Lv.2 generally go on expeditions with other familias as 'supporters'."

However, this supporter is a different concept from the supporter who carries bags and picks up magic stones. They are mainly responsible for maintaining equipment and are instead the object of preferential treatment and protection by the team.

"Goddess..." Shirou was very helpless towards the upper god who was saying strange things again, while Hephaestus only chuckled.

Chapter 19: Bad Girl Aiz Wallenstein (2-in-1)

"That's right." Crossing his arms, barely blocking Anya's heavy straight punch, Shirou said, "Commander Tsubaki said that if you want to become a powerful adventurer, you must develop your basic abilities as comprehensively as possible, while having at least one outstanding ability, and my 'Dexterity' is the highest."

"No wonder..." Shirou dodged Anya's attack and said, "It feels like Anya is much stronger than Mr. Raul."

"I see." Shirou backed away, already panting a bit.

"Shirou's endurance still needs to be trained, nya." Anya's lips curled up, "Pay attention, Anya is going to get a little serious."

"Crap!" Seer, who was watching from the sidelines, looked at Ryu, "Quick, cover your ears!"

"Nya ~ ~ ~"

Magic [Lost Kitten (Remiste Felis)]

The sharp, piercing, and extremely unpleasant meowing echoed in his ears, feeling like he had been hit in the head with a sledgehammer, instantly losing the ability to think and bodily balance, and his entire body was sent flying.

"Listening to the song of a cat more often will increase the probability of obtaining the development ability [Magic Resistance], oh!" Anya said proudly, although it didn't seem like something to be proud of.

A slipper flew out of the tavern window with a roar, hitting the cat's head squarely and knocking Anya down on the spot.

"Speaking of which, Shirou ~" Seer changed the subject, seemingly casually saying, "Today, Shirou-kun had a very pleasant time with a certain elven mage ~"

Seer opened her mouth, actually speechless: "...... He admitted it so calmly, because there are no ulterior motives, so there are no flaws? This child is really, difficult to deal with."

Ryu thought for a while and said seriously, "Shirou, I'm happy that you're willing to protect others!"
