The wrong person on the ground, the opening sword soul template

Chapter 183 The Cruel Maniac, Ryu?
"Liang Yue, besides informing you of your new title, there's something else I need your help with."

"whats the matter?"

"A new anomaly has occurred inside the dungeon, and the proportion of various types of enhanced species will become even higher afterward."

Even the number of monsters with exceptional intelligence will surge.

Therefore, I hope that if you encounter any endangered adventurers, you can provide assistance.

For example, the thirty-person team that was buried by the moss giant, and the dying adventurers hidden in various places..."

In fact, given Liang Yue's current strength and efficiency in improving, she only needs to wait two or three years to almost reach the top of Orario.

It is even a power that surpasses that of all gods.

However, if left unattended for the next two or three years, a large number of adventurers will die.

It can only be said that time truly waits for no one; if you don't do the right thing at the right time, everything is irreversible.

Unless one can master the magic of time travel.

Of course, the power to control time is an exaggeration.

He had no idea how to acquire this power, so he needed to make the most of the present moment.

After ending the call with Fells, he looked at everyone present.

"I just received some support coordinates. Regarding this expedition, instead of continuing forward, we need to make a slight return trip for rescue and rest."

"Huh? Are we going back now?"

Ais looked regretful; she was eager to raise her adventurer rank.

Liu remained silent, but she supported Liang Yue's decision.

"Yes, let's replenish our supplies a bit, and then we'll embark on another expedition."

Mary looked at Liang Yue and the others with a wronged expression, "Liang Yue, are you leaving? When will you come to visit me again?"

When you blow the conch shell, I will come to you as soon as I hear it!

The girl handed Liang Yue the conch shell from behind her ear, which she accepted with both hands. She carefully examined the conch shell and blew on it.

"Woo~~~"

The sound was very loud and could travel a long distance without much effort.

In addition, since it is worn on the ear, it is also very portable.

"No problem, I'll take you to our clan's settlement when we return from this expedition."

However, once they arrived at the base, returning to the dungeon became quite troublesome.

Mary laughed excitedly, "Wow, just being able to get to the surface is already wonderful, I won't ask for anything more."

"That's it, no problem."

From their interactions over this period, Liang Yue sensed that Mary was an heretic with a lot of spiritual and magical power, but no experience in close combat.

In addition, the girl has a very kind personality, so she probably needs someone to watch her when she goes shopping.

Without girls of Ryu and Ais's caliber accompanying them, they would definitely be in danger.

Just a few drops of blood can restore minor injuries to their original state, medium injuries can heal automatically, and even serious injuries can be recovered.

This is the effect of full recovery; abnormal conditions, fatigue, and external injuries can all be restored.

It is a rare material equivalent to a unicorn horn.

The number of people who covet Mary would be absolutely staggering.

Of course, as long as Mary is under the protection of the Hestia Familia, and as long as Liang Yue and the others are strong enough, their safety will be strongly guaranteed.

After saying goodbye to Mary, Liang Yue led everyone to various rescue sites to provide support.

Besides the moss giant, Liang Yue and her companions also discovered some of the adventurers who had escaped from the dungeon monsters.

After that, it was just normal team formation. Including Liang Yue's team, the number of teams returning to the eighteenth floor kept increasing.

The seriously injured were treated by Cassandra, and then she returned to the eighteenth floor with many wounded.

Over a hundred wounded were brought here by Liang Yue and her group, so it could be said that these adventurers owed Liang Yue a huge favor.

"Lord Liang Yue, these are all the spoils of our adventure. Please take everything except the medicine and food!"

Seeing the words of these injured adventurers, they even kowtowed to him despite their injuries.

He really didn't want to accept this situation; it felt strange.

After quickly dealing with the situation, Liang Yue carried Lily back to the ground.

The remaining members focused on practicing the Ghost Sword Technique as much as possible, and on other preparations.

Lily, who was being carried by Liang Yue, was very happy at this moment.

"Liang Yue, it's just the two of us this time."

"Okay, once we get back to the ground, remember to replenish all the supplies we've used."

Also, please prepare a set of armor and a spear for Mary.

Lily's initial joy turned sour; she hadn't expected that bringing her along was to prepare for another woman's arrival.

This is really upsetting.

After returning to the ground, Liang Yue made further preparations.

He needed to mention Mary to Fels and Hestia.

"Fels, do you know Mary the Mermaid?"

"Ok, I know."

"Do you know any way to conceal her figure? As an outcast, her constitution is far too dangerous."

"Once she leaves the territory of her clan, I think she will easily encounter danger..."

"Yes, I'll figure something out. I'll go see if I have any shapeshifting magic."

Liang Yue, you need to know that magic is extremely difficult to learn. Often, if you're not born with it, you'll never have it in this lifetime.

For example, magical talent.

Aside from elusive things like talent, the same applies to genes, wealth, status, and so on.

It's cruel, and hard to change.

"alright, thank you very much."

Liang Yue remembered that Mary helped Bell regenerate his severed arm in the original story, so it can be said that the mermaid Mary is a very rare teammate.

The healer can regenerate severed limbs and also help lure monsters in the water world.

As a supportive teammate, Mary is excellent.

Upon returning to the Hearth, Hestia rushed over excitedly upon seeing Liang Yue arrive.

"Liang Yue, Liang Yue, your new title has been revealed. Can you guess what it is?"

"What is it, Goddess?"

Liang Yue pretended not to know and patiently looked at Hestia.

The goddess looked at Liang Yue triumphantly, "Of course it's the Sword Saint. Since you want this title so much, I will naturally help you get it."

Ruffling the goddess's head, Liang Yue thanked her gratefully.

Then I thought of his title, "Second Awakening".

Isn't the title of "Second Awakening" a bit more high-profile?

Let's take it one step at a time; there's no need to think that far ahead right now.

After quickly washing up and replenishing his energy, he stayed in the courtyard to practice the Extreme Ghost Sword Technique.

The more he practiced this power he gained after his awakening, the more he realized how shallow his understanding of the Extreme Demon Sword Technique was. He still had a very long way to go on the path of swordsmanship.

Even now, we're just finding the right direction and moving forward.

After Lily has gathered all the supplies and put all the current gains back into the Hearth Hall warehouse.

The two set off immediately, returning to the eighteenth floor of the underground city through the passage of the man-made maze as quickly as possible.

It was already dark by then, and Liang Yue and her companion returned to the meeting point on the eighteenth floor to rest.

"Liang Yue, these are the Fari banknotes and magic stones sent by the injured adventurers."

The paper money adds up to over fifty million falies, and the magic stones are estimated to be around fifty million as well.

Ais placed a backpack in front of Liang Yue and the others; inside were numerous banknotes and magic stones.

"Alright, then we'll accept it for now."

Liang Yue looked at Ais and said, "Ais, these are for you to take into our artificial maze."

"You can come back and rest after you've finished delivering the goods."

"no problem."

Watching Ais run away at high speed, Liang Yue sighed.

Ais has a rather naive and innocent personality, so she naturally won't refuse gifts from others.

Her personality isn't the type to overthink things.

That's why they reluctantly accepted the gifts offered by the adventurers.

Eighteen underground levels, hundreds of meters above the ground, the crystal was gradually emitting a bright white light from its black color.

After a night's rest, Liang Yue and the others finished breakfast and were preparing to leave.

Who knew that a group of adventurers left in a hurry, and then some more adventurers passed by Liang Yue.

"What happened?"

Liang Yue was a little confused, then she saw the adventurers stop.

"Sword Soul... no, Sword Saint Liang Yue. Do you know? Some of our adventurers have been killed outside the town!"

This is a safe zone. For an adventurer to die in a safe zone is an extremely serious matter.

Whether on the surface or in the dungeon, the killing of an adventurer will attract the attention of their fellow adventurers.

After all, no one wants to repeat the same mistake.

"Liang Yue, I've seen the murderer! That guy is definitely 'Swift Wind'!"
In other words, those on the wanted list of dangerous individuals.

"blast?"

Liang Yue was taken aback at first, then immediately realized something.

The wanted criminal, Gale, has a bounty of over 80 million Fali. He even possessed Lv4 strength several years ago.

However, wasn't Gale the very name that Ryu used to have?

So, what about Ryu?

Currently, everyone in Liang Yue's adventurer team has come closer upon hearing the sound.

However, Liu was not among them.

Liang Yue felt somewhat helpless, so she simply led the rest of her clan members and followed the adventurers to the crime scene.

……

A large crowd gathered at the base of the town wall, where a dead body had been found.

The blindfolded adventurer stared intently at the corpse on the ground. "It was torture, and the wounds were clearly inflicted by humans. They have absolutely no connection to wounds caused by monsters."

An adventurer nearby added, "I saw a guy wearing a cloak and concealing his identity run away."

"So, that guy must have hidden on a lower floor, right?"

"If it really is that guy, Gale, he has the strength of a full Lv4."

This level of strength truly surprised everyone present, and the anger on their foreheads was greatly extinguished by the ice water.

However, adventurers soon started to stir up trouble.

"So what if that's the case? If we don't catch Gale, this murderer will kill us all!"
Moreover, Gale has a reward of 80 million Fali!

"If we all act together, even a raging storm cannot stop us."

All eyes then fell on Liang Yue and her group.

"Mr. Liang Yue, what are your thoughts? Are you willing to join us in the campaign to defeat Gale?"

"I'm just wondering, wasn't Gale's bounty canceled by the guild?"

Liang Yue frowned as she looked at the adventurers. "I think they are most likely murderers imitating Gale."

I'll naturally help with this kind of guy. As for whether I can catch him, I don't know.

"Fantastic! Lady Liang Yue is actually willing to help! It seems like we've got this in the bag!"

Liang Yue is widely recognized throughout Orario as the strongest newcomer at level 4.

With such powerful figures joining their ranks, whether it's Hayate himself or the criminals imitating him, they have enough fighting strength to deal with them.

One of the male orcs with wolf ears looked excitedly at the eyepatch-wearing man, "I told you, I've seen what that elf looked like when she was in Astrea."

That guy has had his bounty lifted and was even released without charge.

But who knows if the other party will commit another crime?

"Aren't murderers just people who enjoy killing? And they're even addicted to it!"

"Perse, let's gather all our strength and kill this Gale!"
Our comrade who lived in this town has been killed. How can we continue to stand idly by?

Perth, the man with the eye patch, crossed his arms and was also thinking.

"So what should we do? Calm down first. At least we should listen to what Sword Saint Liang Yue has to say."

All eyes were on Liang Yue, hoping she would say something constructive.

Liang Yue coughed. "Everyone's time is precious. Regarding the murderer, I hope that if we really want to search for him, there should be a time limit."

I will also help with this search. However, my schedule is quite tight, so I will only offer minimal assistance before leaving.

For now, all we can do is put pressure on these adventurers.

As for Ryuna's so-called inner demon, we'll have to wait until Liang Yue and the others continue their journey, find a way to locate it, and kill it.

The search team, consisting of hundreds of adventurers, was assembled, and Liang Yue and the others naturally stayed among them.

Then they sped up, with Perth looking at that month with a fawning smile.

"Lord Liang Yue, if it really is Gale, then please take the initiative to make a move."

“I understand. I will deal with the powerful monster and the culprit.”

Perth, the middle-aged man, visibly relaxed.

The team he led this time wasn't particularly outstanding in terms of overall strength.

Among them, the most presentable ones are those of Liang Yue and her group.

The others are only at level two or three.

Perth turned to the orcs, “Adventurers, do not let your guard down, and orcs…”

Now is the time for everyone to leverage their strengths and advantages!

Use all your investigative abilities—sight, smell, hearing—to the fullest extent possible!
Let's find the savage, Gale!

It seems that Gale has angered many people this time. Killing adventurers in the safe zone of the 18th floor is a bit too high-profile.

Did Ryu really do it? What is she trying to do?
