The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

For ordinary humans, joining a good Familia is very difficult if they cannot demonstrate talent, and even ordinary Familias may not be willing to accept them.

But for beastmen as strong as Minotaurs and Tigermen, the situation is completely different.

Their powerful physical qualities give them a natural advantage in battle, making them a "hot commodity" in the eyes of major Familias.

Any fresh-faced Elf who appears to have just arrived in the city is bound to be eagerly courted by all sorts of deity stalkers.

"Oh, the sturdy muscles of young Lion Man and Tigerman males are simply a gift from heaven!"

These two were the warriors who first took up the swords projected by Shirou and bravely charged to the front lines in the battle against the Kingdom's army.

His expression had completely collapsed, not concealing his appreciation in the slightest, a sight that left the surrounding gods speechless.

And there are Familias like the Gnuht Familia, who are more concerned with Dwarves who may possess forging talents.

"Elf sister, this time I must snatch an Elf sister!"

"Don't you dare compete with me, I'm determined to get an Elf sister!"

"Mage, I want an Elf mage! My Familia is short of a mage!"

Seeing him here, the surrounding gods immediately erupted.

The male gods were in a chaotic frenzy, causing the surrounding goddesses to reveal expressions of disdain.

"Then, these prisoners will be handed over to the Guild, and we will send professional personnel to follow up on the negotiations."

Many things happened during the journey, and now, we are finally home.

Although the war is over, the post-war negotiations are also a difficult task, especially this time, the situation is particularly special.

However, King Laggia's folly complicated matters—the intervention of the Freya, Loki, and Hephaestus Familias, coupled with the liberated slaves, would likely lead to protracted negotiations.

The Hephaestus Familia sent a seasoned Dwarf as their negotiation representative.

It is worth mentioning that another negotiation leader from the Hephaestus Familia is a Lilliputian girl who has recently emerged in the Hephaestus Familia and the Orario business world.

Her level is only Lv.1, she hasn't joined the Hephaestus Familia for long, and her ability scores are even too weak to look at. However, the goddess Hephaestus values her talents in business and management outside of battle, and gave her this rare opportunity.

"Riveria, are you serious?"

In the many years that she had been his companion, Riveria had seen Finn's emotions fluctuate this much only a handful of times.

She told Finn in detail what happened when Shirou and Ryu liberated the slaves in the capital of the Laggia Kingdom.

Following closely behind, Elves, Dwarves, and Humans also joined the ranks of the resistance, fighting valiantly against the guards.

However, compared to the bloodiness of these races, the reaction of the Lilliputians seemed particularly hesitant. There was even a Lilliputian elder who stood up and tried to stop his compatriots from joining the battle.

That Lilliputian elder persuaded his other compatriots with a very logical argument:

If the attackers and those beastman and elf slaves are strong enough, the kingdom will lose whether or not the Lilliputians resist, and they will all gain freedom;

Reasonable but shameless, this is the way the Lilliputians survive—assessing the situation between the strong to preserve themselves.

"Either pick up your swords and go chop up those damned Kingdom soldiers; or, die by my hand now."

The Lilliputian woman, covered in blood, said this.

After listening to Riveria's description, Finn felt his heart beat faster involuntarily. His gaze focused, as if he was depicting the figure of that brave and fearless Lilliputian woman in his mind.

"I knew you would react this way."

Finn's eyes lit up, and he thanked her earnestly: "Thank you, Riveria, this is really important to me!"

However, when he heard Tione's name, the joy on his face immediately turned into helplessness. A headache followed.

Moreover, her possessiveness is extremely strong, as if she cannot tolerate the existence of any other woman beside Finn.

Although it's strange to think this way, but if Tione, the Amazonian girl who is the biggest obstacle to his plan to revitalize the Lilliputians, could fall in love with someone else, that would be really great… …

However, Finn's expression became subtle, he showed an awkward smile, his eyes darting around, not answering Riveria's question immediately.

Riveria keenly noticed Finn's strangeness, and frowned slightly.

Finn sighed softly, raising his hands helplessly, as if surrendering.

"During the time you were away, we went on an expedition."

"We killed the Dungeon Arcanum, the One-Eyed Black Dragon, on the forty-ninth floor, and successfully opened up a safe zone on the fiftieth floor. Afterwards, on the fifty-first floor, we also killed a powerful dragon, Cadmus."

Facing Riveria's confusion, Finn quickly explained: "About half a month after you left Orario, a large-scale commotion suddenly occurred in the Dungeon. A large number of monsters from the deep levels suddenly appeared on the front floors, throwing the entire city into chaos."

"Initially, we just wanted to subjugate the already resurrected Urd-Eos, to lay the groundwork for the subsequent expedition."

"Unexpectedly, the subsequent expedition was a complete success."

"After successfully entering the forty-ninth floor, we quickly found Balor. The number of savage beast monsters around him was much smaller than usual, and the difficulty of subjugation was greatly reduced, so I decided to seize this opportunity… …"

Then, Finn described the course of the battle.

"—Finally, Aiz used the Ice Giant's magic to deceive Balor, and Aiz also broke out at this time. She rushed to Balor's eyes and used the 【Magic Sword Spiral Sword】"

Immediately afterwards, Aiz seized the window of opportunity after Balor released his death ray, and activated the black wind combining 【Wind Spirit Swift】 and 【Avenger】.

"Then, taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone attacked with all their strength… … In the end, I used throwing spear magic to kill the severely injured Balor."

In the Balor subjugation battle, the one who truly gained the most experience points was Aiz. All of her abilities, especially agility, increased significantly.

Riveria couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard that Finn was still Lv.6—although Finn was her companion, she would still feel bad if she was suddenly surpassed by this old friend.

Riveria had already stood up to find Loki to update her ability scores.

The tea that Finn had just drunk spurted out of his mouth.

Chapter 168 Loki: The Damnable 【Elf Slayer】!

Riveria looked at Loki helplessly.

Loki moved her fingers like a pervert, her eyes flashing with greedy light: "Jie jie jie, it's been a long time since I've touched Mama Riveria's smooth skin."

She subconsciously thought: "That child… … would he think my skin is smooth?"

For the Lilliputians, this predicament is even more evident. They are naturally smaller and lack strength. Unless they are exceptionally talented, it is difficult for them to gain a foothold in combat-oriented Familia.

As long as they show off their backs, devoid of Divine Grace, and those solid muscles on the street, they will immediately attract active invitations from various Familia.

As for Elves, they are the dream of every major Familia.

Elves have an extremely high probability of awakening magic once they receive Divine Grace. This talent is simply too terrifying, to the point that no Familia is willing to miss an opportunity to recruit an Elf.

The male God Apollo's eyes gleamed with a strange light, his gaze fixed on the two Beastman slaves at the head.

Apollo almost drooled, his eyes scanning back and forth over their chiseled muscles and thick fur.

The Ishtar Familia, in their usual style, mainly focused on the Amazonian women.

And more Gods, without a doubt, turned their attention to the Elves.

A certain male God excitedly rubbed his hands together.

Another God shouted with determination.

A gentle male God said with a smile, "Elves are mostly delicate and thoughtful, they should be well-suited to be doctors."

"Miach, you scoundrel of a God! Don't unknowingly exude your charm here! You're not allowed to seduce our Elf sisters!"

In their respective Familia residences, the adventurers were greeted by their long-separated Goddesses. Hestia, Loki, and even Freya came to welcome them personally.

Chapter 167: Limit Magic Power.

Under normal circumstances, this negotiation should have taken place between the Razia Kingdom, the Adventurers Guild, and the Orario Allied Forces led by the Ganesha Familia.

However, these complicated matters no longer had much to do with Riveria and Shirou.

The negotiation work for the Loki Familia was entirely the responsibility of [Brave] Finn. With his wisdom and strategy, he was fully capable of handling this situation.

This Dwarven senior was a Lv.3 blacksmith, experienced and steady. Although he was not outstanding in combat, he had always been extremely reliable in the Familia's administrative and management affairs, and was deeply trusted by the members.

On the other hand, Hedin still couldn't rest. He needed to personally participate in this negotiation. After all, the Freya Familia's Captain [Strongest] Ottar and Vice-Captain [Vana Freya] Allen were clearly not good at this kind of thing.

Loki Familia Residence, Twilight Manor.

Finn stood up in surprise, his eyes flashing with undisguised excitement.

"That's right."

Riveria nodded.

When Shirou and the others stormed into the slave trading market, the first to resist were the Beastmen and Amazons.

The roars of the Lion Men and Tiger Men were like a battle horn, arousing the ferocity in the hearts of all the Beastmen. They did not hesitate to pick up weapons and engage in a fierce battle with the guards.

He advised everyone not to easily make enemies with powerful kingdoms, lest they bring disaster upon themselves.

Truthfully, such actions were not unexpected. It conformed to everyone's, even Finn's own, common impression of the Lilliputians—cowardly, timid, lacking courage, and only willing to rely on the strong.

And if the kingdom was stronger, not actively resisting at this time would allow them to preserve themselves in the end.

Just as his fellow clansmen were hesitant about his words, a Lilliputian woman suddenly stood up.

Without hesitation, she picked up a sharp weapon, and with a backhand strike, directly砍倒了那个发表言论的小人族老者.

Faced with such a strong stance, the other Lilliputians at that moment decisively followed their national character—obedience to this Lilliputian woman who was acting as the strong.

Like him, a Lilliputian with courage and mettle, wasn't that the partner he had always dreamed of?

Riveria chuckled, "So I've already invited her to join the Loki Familia in advance, and she agreed—it's just, how to deal with Tione's side will depend on your efforts."

Tione, this Amazonian girl who was also a member of the Loki Familia, had been passionately and obsessively pursuing him.

"Looks like I'll have to put some effort into it."

Finn shook his head with a wry smile.

Riveria didn't dwell on Finn's troubles, after all, there were more important things to pay attention to.

She looked at Finn and asked seriously, "I'm back, so when will the Familia's expedition restart? It was suspended before due to the Dungeon's anomalies, but now it should be time to continue, right?"

He seemed a little embarrassed, unsure how to start.

"What's wrong?"

She asked.

He knew that this matter couldn't be concealed from Riveria, so he had to confess, "The Loki Familia's expedition… has already ended."

Finn said with a wry smile, "And… it was a great success."

Riveria was completely stunned: That is to say, now the Loki Familia's first team, except for her, everyone else's exploration record has reached the fifty-first floor?!

"However, after that, the Dungeon seemed to enter a period of weakness, and the number and quality of monsters produced were significantly reduced."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I didn't want to let go of this rare opportunity, so I organized manpower and prepared to give it a try."

"However, when we arrived at the thirty-seventh floor and successfully defeated the Udaeus, we found that the members were in good condition, so we decided to continue forward."

Finn explained the expedition's progress to Riveria, and the focus was naturally on the Balor subjugation battle on the forty-ninth floor.

Without a large number of savage beasts, the difficulty of Balor's subjugation directly dropped from Lv.8 to Lv.7, which was enough to make up for the impact of Riveria's absence.

At that time, when Balor shot out the ray of death with his Evil Eye, piercing through the Ice Giant, Finn's heart almost stopped beating. However, Alicia was no longer inside, and the one-eyed demon king had only hit an empty shell.

Relying on her extreme speed and agility, coupled with the powerful firepower of [Magic Sword Spiral Sword], she directly inflicted heavy damage on Balor.

Riveria also calmed down and asked, "So, after killing Balor, were you able to level up?"

Finn shook his head with a wry smile, "No, although I was the one who delivered the final blow, in terms of attack, we mainly relied on the Magic Sword to defeat Balor. I didn't get much achievement, and my level still hasn't increased."

Seeing that Riveria's emotions were still stable, Finn also relaxed.

He felt that he had said too much and was a little thirsty, so he picked up his teacup and took a sip.

After a few minutes, he suddenly heard Loki's exclamation: "Riveria, your Magic Power has increased to S999, and you've also gained a new skill!!!"

Ten minutes ago.

"Goddess Loki, I've come to update my ability values… Please, don't make such a perverted expression."

Hearing Loki say this, Riveria's expression slightly froze, and an unexpected encounter with Shirou in the hot spring suddenly flashed in her mind.
