Chapter 31 Training People
The war game was two days later.
Roy and Ryu did not continue the dungeon.
Firstly, Roy's stats are already close to the limit of LV.1, and the rewards from normal dungeons are decreasing, so they can't provide him with more attribute points.
Challenging high-difficulty dungeons carries uncontrollable risks. If something goes wrong before the war game even begins, dying before you've even started would be a laughing stock.
So after recovering from his injuries, Roy chose another path: training in human combat!
The instructor was undoubtedly an elven girl.
After joining the Astrea Familia, Ms. Ryu's attitude towards Roy improved significantly; she no longer threatened to kill him at the drop of a hat as before.
In the courtyard of the Star Garden, two figures flashed past quickly, constantly crossing paths, the crisp sound of weapons clashing vibrating in the air.
It was Miss Ryu and Roy.
The two were wielding training weapons, both of which were sharpened blades; adventurers aren't that delicate.
Fighting humans is completely different from fighting monsters. Monsters have no intelligence; they only have the instinct to kill their enemies. Intelligent creatures, on the other hand, are cunning.
To put it simply, if Roy slashes with his sword, the monster will run into it like a headless dodger, while the adventurer will dodge, block, counterattack, or even deliberately expose an opening to lure the enemy.
In short, when fighting someone, unless you have overwhelming strength, you must be extremely careful. Your opponent might pull out a powerful magic sword or unleash some strange and unusual skill at any moment.
"How naive!"
Once Miss Ryu enters instructor mode, she becomes ruthless and cold-blooded. Although she won't use swords or knives, she will still use her fists and feet to strike Roy without mercy.
With a LV.4 rating, it completely outclasses Roy.
The force unleashed by that delicate little hand was like a mountain, sending Roy flying.
Before long, Roy was beaten black and blue. Of course, this was Roy's request. He doesn't usually sweat, is he planning to bleed in battle?
"How tragic!"
Listening to the sounds in the courtyard, the Ganesha Familia members at the gate clicked their tongues. LV.4 versus LV.1, a battle with no suspense whatsoever, pure self-inflicted torture.
Roy often brought them snacks and they got along well, but there was nothing he could do about it at this time.
Roy experiences both pain and pleasure.
With his ability value breaking through the limit and his skill awakened, he single-handedly wiped out an American squad. It's impossible for him not to feel a little proud and complacent. But Miss Liu directly smashed him down from the top of the clouds to the ground, making him realize that he is still a LV.1 newbie!
Unless you reach LV.2, the treatment you receive in Orario is drastically different.
There seem to be many adventurers in Orario, but more than half of them are actually struggling at LV.1.
Only adventurers of LV.2 or higher can be called advanced adventurers, gain development abilities, receive titles bestowed by the gods, and become honored guests in any clan, able to join them at any time.
On the other hand, under Ms. Ryu's fists, Roy's combat experience improved rapidly.
About five hours later, Roy was completely exhausted and could no longer stand.
Miss Liu said, "Let's take a rest."
Roy sat on the ground, exhausted and paralyzed, his body covered in wounds and his face showing deep fatigue.
Miss Liu frowned slightly.
Sensing Miss Ryu's displeasure, Roy immediately straightened his back. She often reminded him that adventurers must always be vigilant! The more mentally exhausted one is, the more one should remember this, because enemies will also seize the opportunity to launch an attack at this time.
Seeing this, Miss Liu left satisfied.
Roy rubbed his aching lower back, shook his head and smiled. Under Miss Liu's Spartan-style training, his fighting instincts were almost ingrained in his bones.
As evening fell, Remer, a guild nemesis, came over to check his eligibility to participate in the war game.
When Remer saw the Sword of Justice and wings on Roy's back, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. At this time, someone was still standing with the Astrea Familia. He had to admit, it took a lot of courage.
Remer said, "Okay, it's confirmed that there will be two participants in the War Game: Liu Liang and Roy."
Roy asked with a grin, "How many people from the Rudrakara clan are participating in the war game?"
Ramel's lips twitched. This guy was shameless, asking him about inside information so openly.
According to principle, he should not tell the other party, but since the principle itself (Uranus) has spoken up, in order not to affect the overall situation, and in consideration of the past merits of the Astrea Familia, he should give them some appropriate consideration.
Roy knew this too; the other party would tell him!
Remer lowered his voice, "The Rudrakami clan has 152 members participating in the war game!"
"So little?"
Roy and Miss Liu looked surprised; they had thought there were at least three hundred people on the other side.
In Orario, where gambling, prostitution, and drugs are legal, it's not easy to learn good things, but it's easy to learn bad things. The number of people with dark hearts is beyond imagination, and these people are the new blood of the dark faction.
And the attitude of those evil gods is the same: the more evil the nature, the more they like it; scumbags are everywhere, and they welcome all who come.
The Dark Familia naturally has a very large number of members.
Remer explained with a wry smile, "Because you raised the bounty, quite a few members of the Rudra Familia have been killed these days, including many LV.2 adventurers."
Upon hearing this, the two understood.
"Let them collect the bounty based on the number of people," Roy laughed, instantly halving their pressure. Those adventurers had made great contributions, and it would be inhumane not to give them a bounty. Only with give and take can business last.
……
Daedalus, the artificial maze.
The last work of Daedalus, the craftsman who built the Tower of Babel a thousand years ago, which he never finished before his death, is a labyrinth similar to the underground city.
It has now become the most important stronghold of the dark faction.
In the deepest central hall, the stone emitted a faint glow, illuminating the surroundings.
The walls of the hall were decorated with emblems that indicated the faction of the gods: a heart of iron and bronze, and a black single-winged emblem resembling the scythe of death.
The Sanatos Clan!
The man sitting on the stairs exuded a faint divine aura. Upon hearing the report, he said, "Playing war games in the dungeon? Hahaha, how interesting. Those guys on the surface always come up with something fun."
The member of the Rudra family standing below said, "The Rudra family wants our help to transport some supplies."
The entrance to the Tower of Babel's dungeon was blocked by the guild, preventing either of the two clans from entering in advance. However, the man-made labyrinth is another entrance to the dungeon!
"Let them get lost. Over a hundred people are going after a little girl, and they're resorting to these petty tricks. It's despicable," Thanatos, the Grim Reaper, said disdainfully.
Their strength and resources are on a completely different level from the Rudra Familia! Having gathered the remnants of the defeated dark factions during the Great Rebellion, the Thanatos Familia is teeming with adventurers at levels 3 and 4, and even boasts many powerful individuals at levels 5 and 6!
