The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

“Bang.”

Miya landed a heavy punch on each of the catgirls, Anya and Chloe, then looked at Ryu: “Hurry up, time is short, He is waiting for you.”

“Ryu, long time no see, congratulations on finding a new job~”

“Astrea… Goddess!”

“Wuu… Wuu… Wuu ah…”

Ryu wanted to say something, but she couldn't stop sobbing, and tears kept flowing out.

“Ryu, is this where you live now?”

Astrea and the elf girl came to her room together, located in a separate building of the tavern, together with Anya, Lunoire, and Chloe's dormitories, while Emiya's room was upstairs from them.

The room was not large, and the furniture consisted only of a wooden bed and table and chairs, but you could feel a warm atmosphere of life from various details.

“Ryu, tell me, what has happened during this time.”

Astrea patted the bedding beside her, signaling Ryu to sit next to her.

Ryu sat next to Astrea, leaning gently on the goddess's shoulder, and began to tell her story.

“After persuading you to leave Orario, I have been hunting down the remnants of the Dark Faction…”

The Freya Familia's [White Magic Staff] Hedin and [Black Magic Sword] Hogni killed the Lv.5 Dies Sisters.

The Loki Familia's [Brave] Finn defeated the Lv.5 [Emperor Killer] Valletta Grette.

After the final battle, the Dark Faction, having lost many high-level adventurers, could no longer confront the Orario Familia Allied Forces head-on, and the remnants of the Dark Faction went underground.

In the two years, she, a Lv.4 adventurer of Ryu's level, had defeated no less than a handful, and the number of ordinary Dark Faction members killed was countless.

[Gale] ended the dark age of Orario—this sentence is not an exaggeration.

Emiya, Syr, Anya… Ryu patiently recounted these newly acquainted companions, while the Goddess Astrea listened patiently.

“Goddess Astrea, I want to protect Syr, I hope to help Shirou, for them, I can't continue to stay where I am.”

Astrea's voice became even gentler: “As you wish, Ryu.”

Skill.

[Fairy Serenade]

[Mind Load]

Once the consumption of mental power begins, it will automatically activate.

When sprinting, the attack power increases with the speed.

When fighting together with teammates who have a “specific target” or “bond” type skill, all abilities are increased (small effect)

[Gale] Ryu Lion will become a first-class adventurer of Lv.5—whether it is [All Creation Envoy] Asfi or the Goddess Hephaestus, they immediately came to this conclusion when they learned that the Goddess Astrea had arrived in Orario.

And now, because of various reasons, she has finally taken the step forward, and the Goddess Astrea has also come to Orario, Ryu's level up is naturally a matter of course.

Now, among the less than forty first-class adventurers in the Labyrinth City, she has become one of them.

The results of all the desperate battles experienced by [Gale] are reflected in her ability values.

Over the years, because of constantly engaging in extremely high-intensity battles, Ryu has gained too much high-quality experience. These great achievement-level experience points accumulated in her body, but Ryu never leveled up. In the end, these great achievements turned into extreme attributes.

In addition to the ability values, Ryu also gained a development ability, a skill, and a magic.

Because in the process of Ryu's subjugation of the remnants of the Dark Faction, what most often injured her was not the adventurers of the Dark Faction themselves, but the [Magic Swords] and other tools or various traps they used, so Ryu displayed the [Magic Defense] development ability.

The effect is a simple and powerful ability value increase. Although it is only an ordinary ability value increase, not a high-domain or super-domain increase like Aiz's, Ais's, and Emiya's exclusive skills, the [Justice Bond] increases all ability values, and the trigger condition is simple, making it an extremely powerful skill in every sense.

This magic is the crystallization of Ryu's thoughts of her lost companions. It is the embodiment of her inheriting the will of Ais and others, and the sublimation of her act of doing her best to avenge them.

And because of this magic, Ryu has also become another adventurer who can use more than three magics besides [Nine Magic Princess] Ku, [Thousand Elves], and [Sword King].

The magics they possess include [Red Blossom Thread] which adds flames to weapons and the body, [Flame Flower] which detonates flames, [Five Lights] which slashes magic, [Final Windermia] which is a group recovery magic, [Muse's Thunder] which is a trap magic, and [Magic Flame Fury] which is a fire-based attack magic.

In comparison, Emiya can only project the weapon of one Astrea Familia member at a time and borrow her ability.

However, for Ryu, the greatest meaning of [Astrea Records] is—

“Shirou and I have inherited the power of our past companions.”

Ryu lowered her head and said softly:

“Goddess Astrea, I would like to ask you to meet Shirou with me… I hope that you, Goddess Astrea, can also approve of Shirou…”

"Bang."

Ryu was confused, but in the next moment, she saw the goddess standing at the tavern entrance.

"Astraea... Milady..."

Ryu muttered in disbelief.

Astraea chuckled: "That uniform suits you well; it's very cute."

The elven girl threw herself into the arms of the goddess Astraea.

"Really, you've worked hard, Ryu."

Goddess Astraea held the elven girl tightly, comforting her gently.

"Yes, Lady Astraea."

Originally, Ryu lived in another building connected to the tavern. That building was severely damaged due to being caught in a battle between several Lv.4 adventurers and hasn't been repaired yet, so they are temporarily staying here.

Astraea sat on the edge of the bed, and as soon as she looked up, she saw the wooden sword hanging on the opposite wall.

Ryu stood to one side, having already wiped away her tears, though her eyes were still a little red.

Although Ryu had given a simple description of her experiences in the letter, the information conveyed through text was ultimately limited. Moreover, compared to reading the letter, Astraea preferred to hear Ryu's story firsthand.

At its peak, the Dark Faction possessed several first-class adventurers who had reached Lv.5 and numerous second-class adventurers at Lv.4. However, most of these high-level adventurers fell in battle during the decisive battle against the allied forces of the Order Factions.

Astraea Familia's Yamato Rindo, Kaguya Gosho, defeated the Lv.4 No Face, Veit.

Soon after, they devised a conspiracy that nearly annihilated the Astraea Familia. The only survivor, Ryu, began an unending pursuit to hunt down the remnants of the Dark Faction.

Besides the Dark Faction, some drug trafficking organizations, organ harvesting groups, and slave smuggling rings also became victims of Ryu's blade.

However, in Ryu's account to the goddess Astraea, the battles of the past two years were glossed over, while the experiences of the last few months accounted for at least seventy percent of the content.

With the story told, Ryu looked up, gazing intently into the eyes of the goddess Astraea.

"Therefore, please update my status!"

Chapter 84 [Astraea Record]

Ryu had experienced hellish battles in the past few years. Her accomplishments were enough for even several Lv.4 second-class adventurers to undergo level ascension.

The only thing hindering her, preventing [Gale] from advancing, was her psychological issue. Ryu believed she could no longer bear the name of "Justice" and didn't have the courage to face Astraea again.

[Gale] Ryu Lion became the first Lv.5 adventurer of the Astraea Familia.

Moreover, Ryu was definitely not the weakest among them.

Magic power and agility had both reached S-rank.

Her dexterity stat had even reached its limit, the unbelievable value of S999.

These stats were all converted into Ryu's potential abilities after her upgrade, and with such potential as a foundation, coupled with her terrifying magic and skills, Ryu, who had just leveled up, was already on par with seasoned Lv.5 adventurers in terms of combat power.

Development Ability [Magic Resistance]: As the name suggests, it increases resistance to magic, affecting both the magic of mages and the effects of magical tools.

The skill [Justice Oath] is the same as Alise's [Elf Bond], with the same effect but a different name.

Compared to the solid and reliable development ability [Magic Resistance] and the simple and powerful skill [Justice Oath], Ryu's newly awakened magic could only be described as "cheating."

[Astraea Record / Star Memory]

Inherits the will of past Familia members such as Alise, and can inherit and activate the magic of past Astraea Familia partners.

In a sense, the appearance of this magic could even be seen as a "divine will" recognizing Ryu's "justice."

In particular, she can additionally use the magic of the former "geniuses" of the Astraea Familia.

Almost all past members of the Astraea Familia possessed magic, and some adventurers even had more than one usable spell.

Including speed amplification magic, defense barrier magic, wind blade magic, combo magic, lightning magic...

All of these spells are recorded in the [Astraea Record], and Ryu can use them at will.

Even the goddess Astraea began to suspect after seeing Ryu's God's Blessing panel that even if Ishtar Familia's [Man Killer] temporarily leveled up to Lv.6 through the [Uchide's Hammer], Ryu might not lose to her.

Alise, Kaguya, Lyra... they are also blessing us...
