The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

Wei Gong: "… … Then, I'll leave it to you seniors!"

A special training session from Lv.6 [Black and White Knights] is something many people would kill for.

"Little girl over there, don't just stand around."

Ryu: "… … Is there something for me to do too?"

For the young human boy and elf girl, the journey to the [Great Tree Sea] didn't seem so simple.

Now, Wei Gong finally understood the deeper meaning of this travel arrangement.

Having Riveria and Wei Gong ride the same flying dragon wasn't really about Riveria protecting the lower-level Wei Gong as they initially said, but rather hoping that Riveria, with her royal elf lineage, knowledge, and adventure experience, would tutor the young adventurer.

Wei Gong was Riveria's responsibility, while the other young person in the team, the eighteen-year-old Miss Ryu, was personally instructed by [Millennial Saint Staff] Fiana Professor.

Fiana simply called Ryu a "good-for-nothing, uneducated wood elf."

Her reasoning was: "Instead of studying properly in the Elf Forest or going to the [Academy District] to learn, she ran off to Orario to hang out with adventurers at such a young age. Besides being a bit strong, she's completely clueless."

After a day, several bumps swelled on Ryu's head, making her look quite horned.

Faced with this result, the good-for-nothing elf wanted to cry but didn't dare complain.

You should know that in the Academy District, Fiana's magic class students have to fight for a spot just to listen. Now she's teaching you for free, what's there to be dissatisfied about?

The result was obvious. Both Wei Gong and Ryu were undoubtedly crushed by the Lv.6 elves with ease, beaten black and blue.

Only late at night were they allowed to rest, and in fact, most of them fainted directly during training.

Even when crushed and covered in wounds, they had to try to stand up and persevere for as long as possible.

In the training ground opened on the desolate mountain, Fiana floated in mid-air, asking questions while bombarding Ryu with magic.

"Lion, what is the current elven royal family's policy on the Grace of God?"

Fiana continued to ask, "Who originally invented the [Philosopher's Stone]?"

Ryu answered, "It was the [Sage] Fells."

Fiana temporarily stopped attacking: "Demonstrate the accelerated chanting technique I taught you before today."

After Ryu completed her chanting, Riveria on the ground also waved her magic staff.

Sealed light, frozen earth.

Three gusts of icy wind swept towards Ryu, and Ryu hurriedly raised the red longsword in her left hand.

The [Ariel Sword] barely protected the upper half of Ryu's body from being frozen. Riveria was somewhat surprised by this result.

"With such a huge difference in magic power between me and [Gale], she can actually do this."

Ryu was a newly promoted Lv.5, while Lv.6 Riveria's magic power was now S960.

"The Kali Familia of the Amazon has no less than four Lv.5s, the magical powers have Lv.5 mages, and the Far East also has Lv.5 warriors!"

Fiana floated to Ryu's side, took out a small wooden mallet from her arms, and "bang" hit Ryu's forehead.

Wei Gong projected all kinds of swords, facing the dark elf's sword.

[Kanshou and Bakuya], [Fake Hrunting], [Fake Durendal]… or swords that Wei Gong made himself.

Either cut off or knocked away, Wei Gong projected new swords after losing his weapons. Unknowingly, the surroundings were filled with complete or incomplete swords, like a graveyard of swords.

However, Wei Gong was not discouraged by the gap, but became more and more courageous.

Chapter 138: Arriving at the [Great Tree Sea]

"Sister Riveria, can you tell me about the 'Zeus' Familia and the 'Hera' Familia?"

Riveria thought for a moment and first asked Wei Gong this question.

Wei Gong replied: "There are still some materials in the Adventurer's Guild and Hephaestus Familia's warehouse, marked as being left behind by the Zeus and Hera Familias."

"I see. There are not many traces of these two major Familias left in the city now, but they used to be even more prominent factions than the Freya Familia is now."

Lv.8, Lv.9, just listing these levels is enough to shock people.

In the current labyrinth city, there is only one Lv.7 [Strong], and if the scope is widened to the entire world, there is only one more [Knight of Knights] from the [Academy District], only two people.

Riveria said, but did not mention the names and titles of these strong people.

Wei Gong said softly: "However, such powerful two major Familia have now been completely defeated?"

She paused for a moment: "The Zeus Familia defeated Behemoth, the Hera Familia killed Leviathan, and then… the two major Familia jointly attacked the One-Eyed Black Dragon, but in the end, they were almost completely wiped out."

"Behemoth, Leviathan, One-Eyed Black Dragon… are they, like Antares, monsters from outside the dungeon?"

Riveria: "However, among these monsters, the three major monsters are the strongest and most harmful, so they are listed as the Three Great Quests."

Riveria's voice stopped, and she found that the boy's body was leaning forward unnaturally, and his breathing was gradually becoming heavy.

The elven princess held the reins, she thought for a while, reached out and pressed on Wei Gong's shoulder, letting his body lean back gently.

"Sure enough, the intensity of the training during this period has been a little too much."

Since the beginning of the journey, Wei Gong and Ryu have been undergoing overloaded training. For Ryu, the physical strength of a first-level adventurer allows her to withstand the pressure, but for a boy who is only Lv.2, it is still too hard.

Now, Riveria has also realized that this subjugation mission is very wrong.

In Riveria's view, the simplest and most effective way to subjugate a monster like Antares is to gather enough firepower from magic guides and directly erase the monster, along with the entire ruins, from the map.

However, the Guild specially organized this subjugation team of four Lv.6s, one Lv.5, all of whom possess [Magic Guidance] and powerful magic power, but their most important role is that if Wei Gong cannot use that gun in the end, they may be able to use enough powerful magic power to forcibly activate it.

Whenever she thinks of this, Riveria gets so angry that she can hardly maintain her demeanor and rationality.

Riveria can be sure that the Adventurer's Guild and the gods are definitely not telling the truth about the real situation of that magic beast. They have concealed important information about that monster.

Riveria gently stroked Wei Gong's hair. Now, as the distance from the [Great Tree Sea] gets closer and closer, the unease in her heart becomes stronger and stronger.

In her eyes, Riveria, these 'young people' are all uncultured small fries, often mocking in a strange tone.

After a brief moment of surprise, Shirou immediately realized that this was a precious and rare opportunity.

Ryu hesitated, "In that case, wouldn't the pressure on Shirou be too great...?"

【Millennium Holy Staff】 looked at Ryu: "Let Riviria-dono and I practice with you."

Chapter 137: Teaching and Training.

During the day, Riviria and Shirou rode on one wyvern, while Fiana and Ryu rode on another.

The professor from 【Academy】, even on a short trip, didn't miss any opportunity to cultivate young people, fully embodying the earnest and strict spirit of the "older generation" of educators.

In fact, thinking carefully, it's clear that the two deities who have sealed their divine power in the Lower World need the protection of veteran adventurers more for safety.

Although Ryu is now a Level 5, first-class adventurer, capable of standing alone in the Labyrinth City, she is still a naive child in the eyes of the long-lived Elven elders.

Such an evaluation is really... impossible to refute.

Moreover, compared to Riviria's gentle approach, Fiana's education was much stricter.

She took out a small wooden mallet from her bosom, imparted various knowledge to Ryu orally, and then conducted a Q\u0026A session. If Ryu couldn't answer, she would knock her on the head.

This was guidance custom-tailored by one of the most senior professors of 【Academy】, Lv.6 【Millennium Holy Staff】.

In the evening, before resting, Fiana would also pull Riviria along to conduct two-on-one practical training with Ryu, while Shirou would spar with 【Black and White Knight】.

At this time, Riviria would release her magic 【Ars Alchemic】 to heal them, and after the healing was completed, they would continue to fight.

However, although Ryu was troubled by the cultural lessons during the day, she was full of motivation for the evening training, and Shirou also valued this opportunity.

Because this level of teaching and training was of great significance to them, it could even be said that they owed Loki Familia, Freya Familia, and 【Academy】 a considerable favor.

Ryu tumbled awkwardly to dodge the attack, while shouting, "It's... it's maintaining neutrality. The royal family doesn't favor any Familia, but allows elves to join various Familia in a personal capacity."

"Yes!"

Ryu took a deep breath and began chanting the magic 【Astrea Record】.

【—The harbinger of the end, oh, white snow. Facing the twilight, stir up the gale.】

【Snowing, three severe winters—my name is Alf.】

Additional magic 【Red Clover】!

The blade slashed towards the blizzard released by Riviria, however, facing the Elf Princess's deep and terrifying magic power, even the flames Ryu poured all her strength into quickly extinguished, leaving only the residual heat hidden in the sword.

Riviria thought, "The younger generation is to be feared."

Riviria also took the opportunity to ask, "Name at least three forces that have first-class adventurers, besides the Labyrinth City and the Academy."

Fiana asked again, "What is the ancient monster sealed in the Far East?"

Ryu: "It's... it's... is it Itsutsume no Kaguya?"

"Wrong answer."

"Ugh..."

Ryu hugged her head and squatted on the ground with tears in her eyes.

While Ryu was enjoying this "educational and enjoyable" activity, on the other side of the training ground was a "gorgeous" and "grand" swordsman battle.

However, no matter what kind of swords were used, facing Hegni, 【Black Ogre Sword】, the outcome would always be the same.

It was not because the weapons Shirou projected were fragile, but because his ability stats were too far from Hegni's Level 6, Strength S920, Dexterity A899, Agility A840.

As for Hegni, he remained expressionless, simply swinging his slashes.

On the wyvern, Shirou asked Riviria a question that he had always been concerned about.

"'Zeus' and 'Hera' Familia... How did Shirou learn about these two Familia?"

Among those materials, many were produced after the sixtieth or even seventieth floor of the Dungeon, which are now rare and dwindling items in Orario.

Riviria recounted:

"Before Freya Familia and our Loki Familia, the kings of the Labyrinth City were Zeus Familia and Hera Familia. Among them, the captain of Zeus Familia was a Level 8 adventurer known as 【Hero】; and Hera Familia even had an adventurer who reached the highest level since the gods descended to the Lower World, the Lv.9 【Empress】."

"Not only that, in Zeus Familia and Hera Familia, there were also Level 7 adventurers whose strength was not inferior to 【Hero】 and 【Empress】."

Riviria nodded: "That's right, Zeus Familia and Hera Familia took on the legendary three great quests, which are to defeat Behemoth, Leviathan, and the One-Eyed Black Dragon."

And the almost annihilated two great Familia, the members they left behind almost caused the annihilation of the Labyrinth City, which is another story.

Shirou asked.

"That's right, they are all monsters that have existed in the world since ancient times."

"The potential ability of Antares should be between Lv.5 and Lv.6, but in the era when it was born, there were no adventurers with God's Grace, and there were no powerful ancient heroes at that time. Therefore, the fairies chose to seal it..."

Riviria let Shirou lean his upper body against her, so that Shirou's breathing in his sleep would be more stable.

Riviria sighed softly.

And all of this, although not explicitly stated, was well understood by everyone, all for the final battle to defeat Antares.

In that battle, the boy needed to shoulder an extremely important and heavy mission.

Riviria looked at the long spear hanging behind Shirou, and in her heart, there were faint negative emotions churning.

So far, there has never been a precedent where a specific weapon was needed to defeat a monster, let alone a specific weapon that could only be used by a specific person.

In fact, the magical power in this team is already enough to do this.

It's just "maybe", the deity of the Adventurers Guild is not sure whether this method will work, it can be said that this is a last resort.

So, in fact, the heaviest responsibility still rests on Shirou alone.

"What a joke!"

"Do you know how old this child is now, how long has he been an adventurer!"

She didn't know how many times she wanted to directly grab Hermes and Artemis by the collar and question them, but she gave up every time she saw Artemis's unbearably sad eyes.

And the fact that they are still covering it up until now is also the reason why she is angry.

In addition, Riviria has also been bullied by Fiana-senpai a lot these days. This petite Elf elder has a rather nasty inner personality.

Among the crowd, Shirou has a tolerant personality, Black and White Knight doesn't care much about things that are not related to the goddess Freya, and Ryu is indeed an uncultured small fry.
