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

Chapter 236 Who is the mole?

In just over six months, Liang Yue has already progressed from a newly minted adventurer to Lv6.

This level of efficiency is truly astonishing.

At this rate of efficiency, she might become a complete burden in less than two years!
The thought of this possibility made Ryu feel ashamed.

This is also forcing Ryu to use all her potential to enhance her power.

She is an adventurer genius on par with Ais, and her pride will never allow her to hold Liang Yue back!
Liang Yue, holding the blade, walked at the front. "Don't get distracted. First, let's see how I use the Breath of Wind in actual combat!"

"Ok."

"Wind Breathing First Form: Dust Whirlwind - Slash!"

Liang Yue stirred up a storm with her sword blade, then charged at high speed toward the monster in front of her.

From Ais's perspective, it looked like a rapidly spinning tornado, slicing everything in front of her in half.

…………

As Liang Yue led Ais and Liu through the dungeon, the sun rose.

On the streets of Orario, the townspeople resumed their daily routines.

The adventurers awoke from their slumber, purchased supplies, and headed to the central square.

Many of them still had the Water Breathing Techniques distributed by the guild and were frequently looking at them.

Orario, as the center of the world, is constantly visited by humans who come to apply to join the kin of a certain god.

Then, these newly joined members of the Familia will register as new Lv1 adventurers.

Under normal circumstances, the attrition rate for Lv1 adventurers exceeds 50% within a year.
Some are afraid of facing life-or-death battles, while others cannot accept that they are not the protagonists of the world, or that they are ordinary people.

Others are limited by their physical condition and talent, and can only make a living even with their best efforts, and then suffer injury or death due to accidents.

Liang Yue's Water Breathing Technique gives those without talent a chance to work hard!

This Water Breathing Technique is equivalent to giving adventurers an extra skill, or even multiple skills.

This breakthrough from zero to one will greatly enhance the survivability of many adventurers.

The breathing techniques given by Liang Yue generally retain the final secrets.

This would prevent the breathing technique from falling into the hands of criminals, and on the other hand, it would allow Liang Yue to personally teach the other party the profound secrets.

Liang Yue only intended to share the profound secrets of various breathing techniques with her own clan, the Loki clan, and Freya's former followers.

Currently, those with sufficient comprehension to grasp the profound meaning of breathing techniques are most likely within these three clans.

As for the other relatives and family members, it would probably take them several years, or even more than ten years, to comprehend it.

Because Bell had also visited Liang Yue yesterday, he obtained the Flame Breathing Technique directly from her.

Combined with his own magic, the effects of Flame Breath will be very strong.

"Help!"

Bell heard cries for help and then saw a giant plant-like monster bursting out of the ground in the street.

It was a green, whip-like plant, its entire body hard.

While the other residents fled, Bell came face to face with the monster!
"Ding!"

The weapon in his hand sliced ​​through the plant, creating a series of sparks.

"So tough! This is a level 5 monster!"

Bell immediately began to gather his strength.

That was a resounding blue-white light, the tolling of bells belonging to heroes.

While the plants attacked Bell, Bell began to unleash his Flame Breath technique.

His movements were due to a significant enhancement of his Flame Breath, although it could only be released at the moment of attack or dodge.

"Flame Breathing, First Form: Shiranui"

This move involves a high-speed dash forward with the momentum of a fiery explosion, approaching the target and then slashing with the sword.

Bell quickly approached the monster, and after using the Shiranui technique, his charged weapon sliced ​​the monster in half!

"So strong!"

Previously, Bell could only rely on his physical abilities to run, but now, thanks to Flame Breathing, he can make high-speed dashes.

That was an increase in speed even faster than his previous maximum running speed.

On the other side of the Orari Street, three more vines broke through the ground.

Hedin snorted, "Thunder Breathing, Fifth Form: Heat World Thunder!"

A new magic sword appeared in his hand once again.

This is a longsword similar to the one used by Liuli Ang, combined with the Thunder Breathing technique given to it by Liang Yue.

Hedin found that this kind of magic sword mixed with mithril was more suitable.

While retaining magical amplification, it also ensures better melee capabilities.

A lightning-like, intensely hot slash erupted from in front of Hedin's blade, instantly killing the three Lv5 vine monsters in the distance.

"So powerful?"

After a day and a night of training, Hedin managed to memorize all the Thunder Breathing techniques.

"But why is the Thunderclap Flash so difficult to master?"

He is the king of the white elves, and he believes that his comprehension is second to none.

But now, Hedin can barely execute all the other moves, but he just can't master the Thunder Flash no matter how much he practices.

"Never mind, the main task now is to protect the master's safety. We can put the matter of comprehending Thunder Breathing aside for a while."

………………

Loki, accompanied by the wolf Bertolca, is investigating the sewers of Orario.

The anomalies in the dungeons are becoming more and more frequent, and the negative impacts of each anomaly are becoming more and more severe.

"Why did we have to come to this sewer? It's so annoying!"

"Oh dear, monsters have suddenly appeared on the streets of Orario. This is very strange."

Therefore, it would be best to investigate further.

Loki squinted and chuckled. She carried a magic stone lantern, shining its light onto the path ahead.

"Oh, this definitely needs to be investigated. If I find out who's behind it, I'll definitely teach that guy a lesson."

The recent Orario riots, with their sudden appearance of vine monsters, almost caused massive casualties.

If there hadn't been a large enough number of adventurers nearby, the disaster would have been much greater.

Loki surveyed the area. "Bert! Look, there are signs that this place has just been opened."

Bert walked up, and Loki pointed to an iron gate with a lock on it.

The lock was covered in dust, but it also bore the marks of someone having touched it.

Bert kicked the iron gate open, and the two of them went inside. Bert was even more annoyed when he saw what was inside.

To keep going, you have to get your shoes and trousers dirty and wet.

After descending a few more steps, the entire passage was covered by water, and it was unclear what the water contained or where it ended.

"Berth, give me a carry!"

Seeing his god acting cute, Bert had no choice.

After all, Loki was their god. So, no matter how much he resisted Loki's orders, he had to obey.

Then Bert carried Loki on his back; he was a werewolf with an extremely sensitive nose.

That's why he was so reluctant to come to the sewers.

The smell here is absolutely awful. "Someone's here! The smell isn't strong, but it's definitely the scent of someone who's been here recently, maybe it's related to the commotion on the ground."

"It seems there really is a problem. My sixth sense was right after all."

Bert put Loki down and cautiously continued onward.

Is this a water storage tank?

Loki looked at the enormous stone pillars at the end of the road.

It would be nice to chisel through the stone pillar and then store fresh water inside.

Five carnivorous plant monsters emerged from the shadows; according to Bert's observation, these monsters were at least level 4.
As Loki retreated, Bert began to use the Water Breathing technique that Liang Yue had revealed.

"Water Breathing First Form: Water Surface Slash!"

Using his feet instead of sword blades, his metal combat boots created a cutting effect.

"Is it so useful?"

Bert swept the carnivorous plant in half with his foot.

The remaining carnivorous plants immediately surrounded him, and Bert changed tactics again.

"Water Breathing, Form 3: Flowing Dance!"

Bert's body moved at high speed like flowing water. He twisted and turned among the vines, his feet becoming blades as he swept, side-kicked, and whirlwind-kicked the vines.

So all the carnivorous plants present were easily kicked to death by Bert alone.

"This is the Breath of Water? These vines are so resilient; if I didn't use the Breathing Technique, I would have wasted my precious magic sword!"

The boost that the breathing technique gave to Bert was an enormous boost that was visible to the naked eye.

High-level adventurers learn and master breathing techniques much more efficiently than low-level adventurers.

Loki picked up the magic stone that had fallen to the ground, and she realized that things had become more complicated.

A normal magic stone is definitely not this color!
The magic stone in her hand was shimmering with a green glow.

The green light seemed to be some kind of eerie venom.

"Loki! I saw this kind of magic stone on the fiftieth floor! It was from a new type of monster that appeared on the fiftieth floor of the dungeon!"

Bert stopped, staring at a man and a woman not far away with a complicated expression.

Loki followed Bert's gaze and saw a man and a woman.

"Hey, isn't this Dionysus? It's been a long time!"

Bert grabbed Loki's arm, stopping her from getting closer to the two men.

"The smell just now was theirs!"

The situation seems to have become rigid.

Dionysus had no choice but to take his retinue and join Loki in a tavern.

As soon as Loki and Dionysus sat down, Loki's questioning gaze fell upon them.

"Dionysus, can you explain this?"

"I have nothing to do with the riots that just happened. I hope you can believe me!"

Bert's expression darkened as he saw the other party was still trying to argue.

Even if the other party did it, because the other party is a god, Bert can at most scold the other party.

If force is used, he will most likely die.

Even if gods have no fighting power, they are not beings that Bert can attack.

Loki was clearly not so easily fooled. "Are you kidding me? You know, I just discovered that the sewer has your scent."

How did your scent and that of your retinue end up in those monster-infested sewers?

Dionysus remained unfazed. "I admit I've been to the sewers, and in fact, I was investigating those strange creatures."

It was a claim I had never heard before.

Regardless of whether the other party was lying or not, Loki decided to listen carefully first.

Often, the flaws and the truth are hidden within lies.

And Loki just happens to enjoy researching these things. It's all so much fun!

“A month ago, three of my clan members were killed.”

Based on my deductions from the scene, my family members must have seen something they shouldn't have, and were subsequently silenced.

After that, this was the only clue they left behind.

As Dionysus spoke, he took out a piece of transparent crystal.

Inside the crystal was a strange green energy, somewhat resembling the black ink in a fishpond.

The difference is that it does not dissolve in water and is constantly flowing within this water-like crystal.

Dionysus took out another new magic stone, "and then I collected the same magic stone on the ground of Orario."

Therefore, the deaths of my family members are also related to this incident.

Loki opened his squinted eyes. If Dionysus was telling the truth, their situation had become complicated.

Who is the enemy? What are their objectives?
"Is this the evidence you seized before the guild could?"

"That's one way to put it. That's why your family members could smell our scent."

I suspect that there's more than one mastermind behind this Orario monster attack.

Loki squinted again. "Okay, but there's still one thing I don't quite understand."

How did you know something would happen to Orario today? I clearly didn't see you at the scene of the incident.

"This is my speculation, based on information from residents of the surrounding towns. I've just made some guesses in my mind."

I personally absolutely do not believe that these monsters could reach the streets of Orario on their own.

"That's right! The dungeons of Orario are guarded by Uranus, the strongest god at present."

As long as he's alive, the underground city's attempt to invade the surface is nothing but a pipe dream.

Dionysus's face was expressionless. "Loki, who do you think could bring the monster to the surface?"

"Ganesha? Impossible! It couldn't be Uranus, could it?"

"Anything is possible! Uranus has been suppressing the dungeons, doesn't he get tired of it?"

Didn't he even consider destroying Orario so he could shirk this damn responsibility?

This is indeed a possibility, especially since bad people wouldn't display "I am a bad person" on their face or head.

Therefore, no matter how familiar one may be in the divine realm, the personality of a deity may change after many gods descend to the human world.

"So Loki, who do you think is the mole? Or rather, who is the traitor who betrayed both the gods and humanity?"

Loki put his hands behind his head and said, "Who can say for sure about these things? I came to ask you because I can't figure it out."

After all, I'm not very smart either.

"How modest, Loki."

Loki watched Dionysus leave, thinking, "If possible, I really wish only good people could obtain Liang Yue's breathing technique manual."

But how do we define the standards for good people and moles?

This time, Lv5 monsters suddenly appeared on the surface of Orario. What will happen next time?

What about next time?

Is the ground in Orario becoming unsafe now?
