Chapter 215: Isn't It Bad to Play with Feelings?
At night. Inside The Hostess of Fertility's staff dormitory, Anya sat on her bed, crestfallen.
She hadn't heard any of the numerous plans Asfi had just described.
There was only one thought left in her mind: Syr is fake?
Why?
Just thinking of this made her heart ache so much she couldn't breathe.
Because of Freya's charm ability, basically everyone on the surface was avoiding gathering in crowds.
Their range of activities had basically become abnormally regular: work, eat, wash up, and rest.
And precisely because a large number of humans had been charmed, basically no one could discover the abnormality in this.
After the Goddess Festival ended, even in the most popular Hostess of Fertility restaurant, there were now no customers at all.
And, the waitstaff here all felt it was very normal.
Basically, the main service targets of Orario's restaurants were adventurers. After all, they had to fight in the Dungeon every day, which was too mentally and physically exhausting.
So most of the adventurers who had earned money would spend it in restaurants during their daily rest to satisfy their daily food and drink needs.
Anya slowly walked out of the room and came into The Hostess of Fertility restaurant.
In the currently empty restaurant, the waitstaff did not feel anything was abnormal. Instead, they were concerned about the just-returned Anya.
"Anya, why are you only back now? Where have you been these past few days?"
The waitstaff complained about Anya's unannounced departure, but seeing her distraught look, they couldn't bring themselves to say any more angry words.
"Anya, what happened?"
Anya lowered her head, "Syr, she..."
"Syr? What Syr? Do we have such a person here?"
"Which customer is Syr?"
Anya's eyes widened. Could it be that all of Orario had forgotten Syr?
She angrily grabbed one of the waitstaff. "Syr is a waitress at our tavern, our companion!
She's been our colleague for many years, meow!"
As Anya spoke, large, transparent, hot little pearls rolled down from her eyes...
"Stop it. I certainly remember about Syr. But that's because, like you, I was once in the Freya Familia."
Mia, the owner of The Hostess of Fertility, stood up, "The Lady Goddess has erased her existence..."
Currently in The Hostess of Fertility restaurant, Mia, this female giant of the Pallum race, was also the manager, and was once the former captain of the Freya Familia.
These years, after leaving the Freya Familia, she had taken in a dozen or so female waitstaff to operate this restaurant.
Most of them were Cat People. A large part of the reason was that the innate strength of the Cat People was too weak. If she didn't take them in, it would be very difficult for them to survive.
Of course, there were other various reasons.
Anya got the news from Mia. She decided to go out and look for news about Syr.
It was just that she had not run far when she saw her brother, Allen.
"Wouldn't it be better if you just stayed depressed without noticing anything? Come with me. I'll tell you everything!"
When Anya saw her brother, she had originally thought she was going to be hit this time. She hurriedly closed her eyes but did not feel the arrival of pain.
And so she obediently followed behind her brother, hoping to get detailed information.
Ryuu, wearing a cloak, hid in the shadows of a remote alley.
"As expected, the entire town has been charmed by Freya."
On the current streets of Orario, basically the only people wandering around were the Freya Familia dependants and related forces.
The other residents were either going to work and home in a straight line, or just staying at their workplace or home.
And then falling into a dull and infinite cycle.
"This situation is worse than I imagined. In that case, what on earth does Freya want to do? What's the point of doing this?"
Adventurers still followed their usual rhythm, fighting in the Dungeon, selling their drops, and returning home to rest. And so the cycle continued...
Subsequently, Ryuu saw Anya following behind Allen. She followed behind Freya, curiously following them.
Anya followed Allen to an empty spot in Orario.
Freya wore a blue-purple cloak, with only her face exposed.
"Anya, welcome. As you can see, I am Syr. That's how it is."
When Freya lifted her hood, her face became Syr's face.
Her face and voice had both changed.
After seeing this with her own eyes, no matter how much Anya didn't believe it, she could no longer hold on to the belief in her heart.
"The one who was always with you in the tavern was me. Freya is Syr, and Syr is Freya.
Do you remember? The first time we met. Are you okay? You'll catch a cold.
Shall we go to our home together? A home called The Hostess of Fertility."
Syr's words immediately made Anya remember their first meeting.
"You are definitely not Syr! Give Syr back to me!"
Anya got angry. Anger made her lose her reason, and she even wanted to hurt Freya.
Of course, a god could absolutely not be harmed.
At the same time as harming a god, the golden pillar of light of forced repatriation would instantly appear.
While repatriating the god to the heavens, the existence that attacked the god would be erased by this pillar of light.
That was an absolute erasure, the kind where even the soul would completely perish.
Of course, even just restraining a god with a rope was something Allen absolutely could not tolerate.
And so he immediately stood in front of Freya, and a blow from his long spear hit the other's ribs.
This one blow directly sent Anya flying more than ten meters. The intense pain instantly made her eyeballs protrude a little.
As long as she didn't die, it was fine. If Allen didn't attack Anya, he thought he would see Anya's corpse the next day.
This was something Allen absolutely could not accept.
Regarding Liam's reminder, Ryuu Lion directly threw it to the back of her mind. She was very worried about Anya's life.
And so she appeared, wanting to take Anya away.
It was just that as soon as she appeared, Allen stood in front of Anya and blocked her movement.
Allen held a long spear in his hand and was about to directly crush Ryuu when he heard Freya's command.
"Put down your spear."
"My lady, I will take down Ryuu Lion now."
"I said, put down your spear."
"Yes!"
Allen immediately stood with his spear. The spear in his hand was less than two meters long.
If it were a battle between low-level adventurers, then an inch longer is an inch stronger.
A three or four-meter-long spear would naturally be more formidable than a longsword of just over a meter.
It was just that, considering the environment of Orario on the surface and in the Dungeon.
Long weapons rarely exceeded two meters.
Freya walked towards Ryuu, "Ryuu, I knew you would definitely appear!
That's just your personality."
Ryuu Lion was this kind of person. She cared about her companions and had a strong sense of justice.
Coupled with her relationship with Syr, Freya had only made a slight move and had indeed lured Ryuu out.
Ryuu Lion looked at Freya with some suspicion, "Are you really Syr?"
This scene was as if it were a destined event.
No matter how Liam persuaded, Ryuu and Anya, according to their own personalities, would go and confront Freya.
"Are you really Syr?"
"Yes, I've always been Syr. This is role-playing. Not bad, right, this game." "You actually treat all of this as a game?"
Ryuu had already gotten the answer. No matter how much she didn't believe it, after the confrontation really began, the answer had already clearly appeared.
"Freya, I absolutely do not recognize you as Syr! Syr is definitely not a bastard like you who likes to play with feelings!"
"Alright, no matter what, I will have Liam all to myself. So, Ryuu, you should just sleep for a while."
After Freya finished speaking, Ryuu directly fainted.
...
Folkvangr Courtyard.
"Is this state now your full power?"
Liam excitedly held his weapon and moved at high speed in the courtyard.
The current Hedin's magic power was stronger, and his speed was faster.
However, even so, Liam could still barely dodge the various incoming attacks.
What he could defend against or dodge, he would use skills to dodge. What he really couldn't dodge, he would use spatial movement to evade.
Hedin's magic power was abundant, and his control over magic power was exquisite.
To the extent that the other party possessed an extremely exaggerated combat endurance.
In game terms, it was mana control.
As much as possible, make one point of magic exert ten points of effect.
That is, using superb magic control techniques to compress the magic power, giving it a higher density, speed, penetration, and so on.
Lightning magic's speed was already swift, and it was also attached with paralysis and conduction and other characteristics.
Therefore, even the highly compressed thunder arrows' destructive power was still very powerful.
It was just that, no matter how strong the attack of these arrows was, they simply couldn't hit Liam's figure.
Liam held his armament and stood on the lawn. The sky was like it was raining a storm of lightning.
Pale white thunder arrows, with long and narrow electric arcs, continuously bombarded the area around Liam.
Liam was moving at high speed on the ground, using Triple Slash and other skills to dodge.
"Brave and tragic undead soldier!"
A large number of thunder arrows fell from the sky, forming a dazzling thunderous rainstorm, and it was even more dense than the previous waves.
Staring at the dense attack in the sky, Liam instantly relaxed, and then his two hands began to slash rapidly towards the sky!
"Illusion Sword Dance!"
A large amount of sword aura was slashed out by Liam, and it met these thunder arrows in mid-air, kicking up a large number of explosive impacts.
They only saw Liam block the first wave of the arrow rain. Taking advantage of the gap in the second wave of attack, he condensed dozens of sword auras into a sword net and chopped it at Hedin!
"BOOM!"
The sword net condensed from dozens of sword auras kicked up an astonishing gully on the ground. The speed of this sword net shockwave was ridiculously fast.
The dense thunder arrows that were originally attacking Liam had no choice but to come and block this sword net shockwave.
Seeing that the speed of the shockwave had not slowed down, Hedin had no choice but to pounce to the side, and only then did he barely dodge this attack.
Liam only felt that Hedin's attack had slowed down.
No, the other's attack was also strengthening.
The large crater on the ground would not lie. This was a power even stronger than a few days ago.
It was just that even this kind of attack still felt slow in front of Liam.
Then there was only one possibility, which was that his own strength had grown again.
"Eternal subjugation, indestructible thunder general, brave and tragic undead soldier!"
A bolt of lightning from a clear sky flashed behind Hedin. Then a beam of thunder with astonishing power condensed in front of Hedin, and then was released towards Liam.
"Thrusting Dragon-Slaying Slash!"
A golden dragon-shaped sword aura condensed in front of Liam. The divine dragon roared.
Liam, carrying the golden sword aura dragon head, and this lightning beam bombarded together.
"BOOM!"
A violent explosive impact spread towards the surroundings at the moment of contact. The earth kicked up a large swath of smoke and rubble.
Liam's figure was pushed back six or seven steps in a row. That powerful force was also completely dissipated.
"I've really gotten stronger again!"
A few days ago, Liam would not have dared to take this kind of move head-on.
However, now, he could already face this level of move head-on.
Was this the feeling of strength rapidly improving?
An emotion called pleasure rose in Liam's heart.
Hedin pushed up his glasses. On the contrary, he proactively approached Liam.
And seeing Hedin's action, Hogni also approached Liam.
The black and white knights began to coordinate, simultaneously using swordsmanship to engage in close combat with Liam.
Facing this situation, Liam chose to transform this pressure into motivation.
Auto Guard and other skills had long been continuously maintained. Facing a higher numerical value than his own, Liam chose to use clever swordsmanship to defend and counter-attack.
Block!
This, along with basic moves like back-step and up-slash, were all part of the Secret Sword Art.
As the sword aura was attached to the inside of the blade, when the two elves' weapons attacked the blade after Liam had blocked, a storm of sword aura suddenly blew towards the two of them.
"BOOM!"
That was a violent storm that threw the balance of the two into disarray.
"Good chance!"
Liam was just preparing to get his first hit on the opponent today.
Who knew that the Flaming Gold Four Warriors had also arrived. The four's coordinated attack made Liam lose the possibility of pursuit.
Without retreating, facing the continuous attacks of the crowd, Liam instead used a more advanced blocking technique—parry.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Any conventional parry, block, or counter-attack sword move, as long as it was executed with the Secret Sword Art, would become abnormally mysterious.
The attacks of the Flaming Gold Four Warriors were parried one by one by Liam's dual armaments.
Each parry would leave one of the attackers wide open.
Of course, because it was the coordinated attack of four dwarves, Liam couldn't counter-attack either.
Unless he was willing to trade injury for injury.
Of course, this was somewhat in violation of Liam's long-standing combat rhythm.
He had always maintained a beautiful logic of fighting without injury, to carry out various battles.
Because in battle, if one could not perfectly dodge the battle, then perhaps one injury would lead to an accident.
Since that was the case, then he might as well improve his own dexterity and other abilities. As long as he was not injured, then he could maintain his own state for a longer period.
The Flaming Gold Four Warriors were finding it more and more difficult to face Liam.
From dodging them at the beginning, to now fighting head-on.
How long did it take Liam?
His speed of improvement was really too inconceivable.
Although Allen was missing today, this growth speed was truly unprecedented.
Outsiders might not feel it obviously, but they, who had been fighting with Liam these days, could very clearly experience Liam's growth.
