The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

If the Goddess Ishtar saw Hermes's work, she might be so angry she vomited blood: "You're turning the tables!"

"Allen, I'm a little troubled."

The Goddess looked at the exquisite paintings, a little worried.

Allen Fromel's attitude was very firm. Among the many Goddesses of the Freya Familia, he was one of the most steadfast.

Freya: "I originally firmly supported Bell and Ryu as a couple. Although Anya is also very cute, I always believed that Ryu was more suitable for Bell... but now seeing Haruhime, I'm a little shaken."

Allen could only respond with silence.

"Haruhime's soul... although completely unrelated to the word 'pure,' it also has a brilliance that cannot be ignored. Moreover, her help to Bell might not be less than Ryu's."

"The effect is as strong as a level up enhancement magic, or it is a level up."

Freya had already guessed this.

Her tolerance for the Goddess Ishtar was actually very high, but the act of hiding such a super weapon still slightly challenged Freya's patience.

"That Goddess, blinded by jealousy, was finally able to maintain the magnanimity and demeanor of a God, and finally showed a little of her 'beauty,' and even let me watch a good show. In that case, I'll let her off the hook this time."

It could be said that the Ishtar Familia actually benefited from the disaster and temporarily escaped a calamity.

"Alas, Ryu is still too disappointing. She clearly has the best chance, but she has no initiative at all..."

"We need to put some pressure on Ryu～"

Chapter 109: The Weaknesses of the [Ukonvasara].

"Another Level One adventurer has been born in Orario, and it's her!"

"[Gale] and the [Elephant God's Staff], which is stronger?"

...

Overnight, the name [Gale] became top-tier in Orario.

As for the battle between [Gale] Ryu Lion and [Man Killer] Filvis Chaldea, the Ishtar Familia did not deliberately conceal the news; in fact, they couldn't suppress it.

Bell and the female warriors fought in the [Goddess Garden] in the center of the Ishtar Familia's headquarters, a place where outsiders were not allowed to enter in the first place. And the place where Ryu clashed with Filvis was on the commercial street, not some remote place.

The adventurers in Orario are not all well-behaved people; many citizens have the potential to become "bloodthirsty spectators."

It didn't take Ryu too long to defeat [Man Killer] and [Goddess's Loyal Hound], but since she didn't take their lives, she had to watch over the stunned enemies.

The straightforward Ais revealed on the spot that she had also lost to [Gale], another achievement with high gold content, undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire of [Gale]'s popularity.

[Gale] Ryu Lion is still a Level One wanted criminal by the Guild, at least as of today. Although both the Guild and the Ganesha Familia, which enforces the law, turn a blind eye to Ryu's existence and actions, the Guild ultimately cares about its reputation.

There are now less than forty Level Five or higher Level One adventurers in Orario, including Ryu, while there are about three digits of Level Four adventurers—the latter are also big figures, but the former are powerful forces that the Guild needs to take seriously.

Some people have also noticed the new weapon used by Ryu, but currently only a very few people have noticed the special features of those long swords.

The day after "redeeming" Haruhime, Bell came to the Volcano Mansion in the Familia's headquarters and updated his status with the Goddess.

Agility: i23 - H106.

Omitted below.

"Hmm..."

Goddess Hephaestus looked at Bell's updated status, pondering slightly.

Skills and magic, of course, were not obtained. Skills are not so easy to obtain; generally speaking, it is only easier to obtain skills when leveling up. Not to mention magic, Bell simply does not have many magic slots.

However, in a week, the ability value increased by more than 500 points, of which the skill item increased by about 300. Such a growth rate is completely unimaginable for ordinary adventurers.

However, Hephaestus's idea was actually dissatisfied with such a growth rate.

"Logically speaking, a Lv.2 defeating a Lv.3 should gain excess experience points. Even without considering the skill of accelerated growth, there should be more ability value improvements."

Goddess Hephaestus paused slightly, then suddenly realized: "[Ukonvasara]..."

Even considering his ability enhancement skills, it is not challenging strong enemies at all, but "bullying the weak."

The original prediction was that after Ryu dealt with [Man Killer], who had too much level difference, the only enemy that posed a challenge to Bell was Tammuz, who was Lv.4, but Tammuz was also unexpectedly solved by Ryu.

Hephaestus: "When blessing [Ukonvasara] to upgrade its level, the experience gained through battle will show a significant decline... This is probably the few weaknesses of [Ukonvasara]."

After putting on his clothes, Bell spoke.

"The attitude of the Goddess Ishtar."

Chapter 110: The Mindset of the Eternal.

Bell said.

Important Familia executives "rebelled," members regarded as secret weapons were abducted, and all high-level adventurers were defeated in the attack...

Bell couldn't understand the mindset of the Goddess Ishtar. He could vaguely feel a little, but he hadn't grasped the key to the matter.

Soon, Goddess Hephaestus came to a conclusion: "Actually, in the end, it is the difference in values between us Gods and you children of the Lower World."

"What the Gods care about is the invisible and intangible 'emotion.'"

Hephaestus's voice was like a gentle sigh: "Because Gods are 'eternal,' in our perspective, all 'matter' is destined to be annihilated. Only 'memories' and 'emotions' are 'eternal' on the same scale as the life of a God."

"Because there is no emotion, Ishtar doesn't really care even if she loses them... If anything, what really pains Ishtar is probably that, by losing Haruhime, her 'revenge' against Freya is destined to be greatly delayed..."

"Therefore, not only is He not angry, but He will feel pleasure."

"That's how the Gods' values are."

Hephaestus chuckled: "How does it feel?"

"Like children being willful... Hmm, I like that saying."

Most Gods choose to establish "emotions" with their Familia members, that is, to love specific people; while some Gods project "emotions" onto some abstract concepts.

And this is often the dividing line between "good gods" and "evil gods."

Hephaestus became slightly serious: "Don't use conventional logic to view and think about 'Gods,' especially those 'evil gods.' There is no reason for their actions. Be careful, be careful about them."

When talking about the topic of "Beauty Gods," Hephaestus couldn't help but pour out her bitterness, complaining about Aphrodite, Venus, Freya, Ishtar, Konohanasakuya-hime, and other God friends.

However, Hermes himself was very satisfied with his painting, and so was the goddess Freya, especially the latter, who obviously wouldn't take the mere Istar Familia to heart.

[Goddess's Chariot]'s expression turned solemn, and he said in a cold voice: "Lady Freya, what is your wish? Please, feel free to command!"

The goddess's will is his goal, and the goddess's wish is his direction. As long as the goddess Freya gives an order, even if it means going to war with the Loki Familia immediately today, Allen wouldn't even frown.

Allen: "..."

The goddess's words left him a little confused. He could understand each word clearly, but when put together, he felt unable to comprehend them. And how could his silly sister's name be in there...

The goddess said to herself.

Chun Ji's magic [Uchide no Kozuchi], although Freya doesn't know the name of this magic yet, she has already guessed its specific effect pretty accurately. After all, Hermes personally saw Lv.2 Emiya being surrounded by light particles, violently beating up a group of Lv.3 female warriors.

If Wei Gong and Liu hadn't rescued Chun Ji and let her live in [The Benevolent Mistress], and shattered the Killing Stone, probably right now, [The Vigorous Man] would be leading a team to Istar Familia to compete.

Freya thought so capriciously.

Moreover, Wei Gong's fierce trampling could be considered helping Freya vent her anger—although for the goddess Ishtar, this might be a kind of reward.

Freya thought for a while.

"Allen, notify Mia Mama and have her arrange for that fox girl to be Shirou-kun's personal maid..."

"The Astrea Familia makes a strong comeback, [Gale] levels up!"

"First defeating [Sword Princess], then crushing [Man Killer], can [Gale] reach the top as the strongest female swordsman?!"

The battle between Wei Gong and the combat prostitutes was suppressed by the Istar Familia, and only some regulars of the red-light district noticed some abnormalities—the high-level Lv.3 combat prostitutes have stopped receiving guests, some have started adventuring in the dungeon with high intensity, and some are still lying in the hospital.

In addition, during the quiet night, Liu's battle movements and the magical fluctuations of her used move [Red Flower Clover] were as eye-catching as a supernova explosion. Some sensitive mages, such as Riviera, felt the surging torrent of magic even half a city away.

For them, the battle of first-class adventurers was a rare sight. Even at the risk of being involved, it was worth it to watch.

Therefore, many adventurers who came to watch the excitement witnessed [Gale]'s achievements, including [Sword Princess] Aizu, who was somewhat depressed because she lost to [Gale].

However, the news came quickly and went quickly. By the afternoon, the rhythm had calmed down a lot, because the Guild had taken action.

However, after Ryu leveled up to become a first-class adventurer, the Guild also needed to rethink how to get along with her.

Also as high-level adventurers, Lv.5 and Lv.4 are not the same concept. Lv.5 and above are called "first-class adventurers" because the strength of adventurers will undergo a qualitative change from this level.

The Guild suppressed the relevant news about [Gale] and began negotiations with the goddess Astrea and the goddess Hephaestus. If there are no accidents, Ryu's wanted order should be lifted soon.

"Shirou, do you want to update your ability values?"

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Lady Hephaestus."

Wei Gong Shirou.

Lv.2.

Strength: i51 - H175.

Endurance: i29 - i99.

Dexterity: i98 - F397.

Magic: H194 - G283.

"Except for dexterity, the increase in ability values is about 50 to 100. Dexterity has increased a lot, increasing by more than 200 compared to before."

"This ability value increase... is not as much as I expected."

Hephaestus's remarks would probably make other gods and adventurers want to vomit blood, but it was indeed her true feelings.

Especially since Wei Gong is already a superior adventurer. Theoretically, it should be more difficult for a Lv.2 adventurer to improve their ability values than a Lv.1.

However, the goddess's reason is also very legitimate: "Shirou, you defeated more than twenty Lv.3 warriors. The growth you gained should be more than just this."

Wei Gong thought for a while, thoughtfully: "Maybe it's because this battle wasn't a level-skipping victory..."

Because of the blessing of [Uchide no Kozuchi], Wei Gong was not Lv.2 challenging Lv.3, but Lv.3 fighting at the same level.

The fact is also true. For Lv.3 Wei Gong, defeating the same level of Amazon female warrior is not difficult at all.

Therefore, after this battle, Wei Gong's ability value did not increase significantly. The only dexterity ability value that grew significantly, the main experience came from the act of forging two "first-class weapons" for Liu.

Compared to the overbearing effect of level sublimation, it is a non-defect.

"Goddess Hephaestus, there is something I'm a little concerned about."

"What?"

Hephaestus tilted her head and asked.

Wei Gong said.

110

"I always thought that in the end, the goddess Ishtar would be very angry about this matter."

According to general logic, the goddess who experienced this kind of thing should be more emotional, at least not as calm as she was at the time.

Hephaestus lowered her head and thought for a moment. She said: "I understand Ishtar's thoughts... Let me think, how should I explain it to you..."

Wei Gong: "Differences in values?"

"For gods, 'mood' and 'feelings' are the most important... It may sound a bit willful, but the fact is that all the 'materials' of the lower world have little meaning to us gods."

"Ishtar doesn't care about Chun Ji and Aisha. Since the Freya Familia topped Orario, her emotions have been completely projected onto Freya. Whether it's Chun Ji or other members of the Ishtar Familia, they are just tools for her to vent her jealousy towards Freya."

Hephaestus wrapped her arms around her chest and looked at Wei Gong:

"On the contrary, your actions and practices, Shirou, actually fit the aesthetics of Ishtar, the 'Goddess of Love' very well—love, desire, violence, battle... Stories with these elements as the theme have always been Ishtar's favorite."

Wei Gong: "...It's just as willful as a child."

Hephaestus said: "In fact, I or Astrea, as well as other gods, are the same: we all come to the lower world to pursue 'memories' and 'emotions', but in different directions."

"Since we're talking about this topic, Shirou, you need to pay attention."

"Also to Ishtar, she is very nice to you this time, and can even be said to admire you, but this does not mean that she will not attack you again. Ishtar is the 'Goddess of Beauty', and all 'Goddesses of Beauty' are extremely willful..."

In short, Wei Gong learned a lot of secrets from the upper world, and gained a deeper understanding of the existence of "Gods", the transcendents.

And a question quietly emerged in Wei Gong's heart—
