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

Chapter 248 I didn't peek at you taking a shower!
These scorpion-shaped monsters are completely different in shape from the previous ones.

For example, the head used to be the head of a scorpion. Now the skull has been replaced by vertical pupils.

Moreover, it appears that these monsters have become even stronger.

The sword energy from the drawn sword slash was released, instantly cleaving the monsters at the front. However, those in the second row did not die immediately.

It looks like its defense has improved quite a bit.

Seven flying swords hovered around Liang Yue, automatically attacking any monsters that approached.

Liang Yue herself, along with Artemis, moved closer to Hestia and the others.

"Roar!"

Numerous monsters were approaching Liang Yue and her companions, but the flying sword controlled by Liang Yue acted like a drone, automatically intercepting all approaching targets.

As meteor blades fell from the sky, a vacuum was cleared out around Liang Yue once again.

Numerous magic stones appeared on the ground, while the monsters in the distance continued to approach.

However, these monsters were unable to break through Liang Yue's flying sword defense.

Not long after Liang Yue and Liu met up, Asifi and the others also arrived.

Thanks to the arrival of Asifi and the others, Liang Yue and the others' monster-killing efficiency was also improved.

After the group of attacking monsters was completely cleared out, Asphie looked at Hermes with dissatisfaction.

That expression was one of pure, gnashing of teeth, as if he wanted nothing more than to devour Hermes alive:
"Lord Hermes! You irresponsible fellow! You actually pushed the task of exploring the ruins onto us and sneaked back home!"

Hermes has many members, including orcs, elves, and Amazons.

Classes such as mages, warriors, and archers also exist.

When Asphi was denouncing Hermes, Liang Yue briefly greeted them.

After that, we introduced ourselves to each other.

He himself doesn't need much introduction, but he doesn't know much about Hermes's family members, except for Asphi and Lulune.

Judging from Hermes's personality, these adventurers are probably all at a level above the Adventurers' Guild's registered level.

Asphie's anger was perfectly justified, because Hermes had entrusted her with almost everything on more than one occasion.

This time was no different; it must be exhausting for her to worry about almost everything.

Her god Hermes was always thinking about slacking off, and this outburst was simply a legitimate outlet for his anger.

Asphie sighed, then approached Liang Yue. "Mr. Liang Yue, did this spear choose you?"

"Yes."

Liang Yue nodded, then showed the long spear she was carrying on her back to Asifi.

"If it's you guys, I'm a little more at ease. Liang Yue, your strength and the speed at which your strength is increasing have really exceeded my expectations!"

This was almost a consensus across Orario, and it wasn't the first time Asif and Liang Yue had met.

It can be said that Liang Yue is very different from before every time they meet.

For example, each time the opponent's strength breaks through, their aura will show obvious differences.

Asphie sized up Liang Yue; in her view, Liang Yue was the mysterious type.

There was absolutely nothing to use as a reference, and it was impossible to see how much potential the other party still had.

In short: This child has unlimited potential, and anything is possible for him!
Hermes leaned closer. "Asphi, how's the situation now?"

"It's terrible! And it's getting worse. For example, the area of ​​forest erosion is accelerating."

Furthermore, the monster's reproduction rate and monster strength are both increasing.

Previously, each of us could clear out a group on our own, but now even team battles are extremely stressful.

All the nearby villages have been destroyed!

Hermes listened attentively, and finally asked, "So, what about strategies for conquering the ruins?"

"All attempts failed; no matter how many times we tried, we were unable to enter through the door or anywhere else."

Asif looked at Liang Yue, "Perhaps only you can open the door."

Artemis approached the surrounding forest, where the trees were already dead.

As soon as she touched the trees in the forest, they turned to ashes.

It wasn't because of touching them that they turned to ash, but because of the power of the monsters in the ruins; these trees and plants had long since been reduced to destroyed ashes and remains.

While Liang Yue and Asphie were talking, Hestia came to Artemis's side alone.

Hestia is very worried about Artemis right now, so she wants to talk to her.

As Liang Yue and the others set off, he turned around and happened to see the two goddesses chatting.

He only glanced at it and did not interfere.

Now, he already has a plan in mind.

As for the plan on how to save Artemis, he had never tried it on the gods, so he had no idea what the success rate would be.

Moreover, even if a plan to save Artemis is devised, the god assassin Entresius must be killed first.

Liang Yue was unaware of the other party's specific strength before making personal contact with them.

However, it must be at least stronger than the Immortal Essence Fallen Body Avatar.

His storm-like formation, constructed from nearly four hundred sword blades, and the sword energy barrier formed from countless sword energies, couldn't even withstand half a second of the opponent's beam of light.

At least the opponent's attack power was exaggerated to an absurd degree.

Asifi led the way and, after some time, brought Liang Yue and the others back to the temporary camp.

"This will be our temporary base for now. Everything is normal for now, but it will be compromised soon."

So you all need to be mentally prepared.”

Within this outpost were numerous white tents, some bearing the insignia of the Hermesian Familia.

A clan emblem of a hat was printed inside the base.

This is a clearing in the forest, with some lanterns hanging around it, and some simple fences and defensive barriers erected.

Not far away was the stable used to house the flying dragon, which was currently grazing inside.

Asifi led Liang Yue and the others to introduce the stronghold, saying, "We've been using this place as a base to keep attacking the ruins."

Liang Yue toured the entire stronghold, and it was through this tour that he discovered that Hermes's clan members numbered over a hundred, even just near the stronghold.

And this guy was so low-key when he was in Orario?
However, Liang Yue wasn't too concerned about Hermes's quiet accumulation of strength.

He had a certain understanding of the other party's personality, and he only needed to know that Hermes would not become his enemy.

After that, it was just normal eating, washing up, and resting.

After a quick dinner with everyone, it was already night.

Liang Yue parted ways with everyone and went to a secluded corner to cultivate alone.

Sword blades danced around him, and the eighth flying sword was finally successfully cultivated at this moment!

Liang Yue felt a little excited and couldn't wait to find some monsters to practice fighting.

The moonlight shines down, and a stream can be seen in the distance.

He looked around and, since no one was around, decided to take a shower as well.

After a long period of travel, he hadn't been able to clean up the mess for quite some time.

He lay in the river, his entire body floating on the surface. Because it was summer and the air was quite hot, the water hadn't cooled down completely.

So lying in the water feels great.

The long period of meditation left Liang Yue mentally exhausted, so he simply lay down in the water and fell asleep.

Under normal circumstances, a person can float on the water with their chest and above exposed as long as they relax...

Artemis stood naked in the river, raising her hand with a complex expression.

Bathed in moonlight, she tried to shield her eyes from the light, but the rays passed right through her palms.

"Is time running out?"

Artemis was filled with mixed emotions, but the thought that she had found her destined one made her unease disappear.

Since death is inevitable sooner or later, things seem alright as they are now. She will cherish every moment that follows even more.

"Oh? Liang Yue? Is she asleep?"

Artemis stared in astonishment at Liang Yue, who was drifting downstream, and found him asleep naked in the water.

Upon observing the other person's physique, Artemis's face immediately turned bright red.

"So this is what the male body is like?"

Artemis panicked and kept backing away. Although she covered her face with her hands, her fingers were wide open.

Her emerald-like eyes were intently fixed on the sleeping Liang Yue.

"ah!"

Artemis slipped and fell into the water with a splash.

Liang Yue was also taken aback. Following the sound, she saw Artemis's figure.

It's very big and very white.

"Are you alright?" Liang Yue quickly turned around.

"Turn around!"

Artemis was very nervous because neither she nor the other person were wearing clothes.

Liang Yue blushed and immediately turned around. Then she summoned the Selfless Sword Domain to unleash the Original Sin.

The next step is to transform original sin into armor and wear it.

Artemis took the opportunity to return to the riverbank and put her clothes back on.

The two sat by the river, the atmosphere becoming somewhat awkward, and they tacitly avoided mentioning what had just happened.

"Liang Yue, you're really lucky. If it were me in the past, you would probably have been shot right now."

"Then I'm really lucky. Just so you know, I didn't peek at you while you were showering."

Liang Yue was a little embarrassed. He was just too tired. He never expected that luck would lead him to encounter Artemis taking a bath.

This coincidence is almost as lucky as Bell's, isn't it?
"It's alright, in fact, this matter is considered even."

Artemis smiled, wearing a white robe, and walked barefoot into the clear river.

"Liang Yue, do you know? As the goddess of chastity, I do not allow men and women to fall in love, and I even despise any relationship between them."

But one day the children told me that being in love is wonderful.

Now, perhaps I'm starting to understand. "Liang Yue, shall we dance?"

Liang Yue and Artemis danced in the shallow waters of the river, while fireflies with shimmering green fluorescence appeared in the forest.

Because Artemis didn't know what the other person was going to dance, the rhythm of the dance was always dictated by Artemis.

Artemis had a gentle expression, her long blue hair cascading down her back, her skin appearing even whiter in the moonlight, and her beautiful face.

Liang Yue also developed a great liking for Artemis.

This world is truly amazing; every girl he meets has something special about her.

He possesses many wonderful qualities, such as beauty, cuteness, kindness, and independence, which are also found in many outstanding girls he knows.

And Artemis before us is even more so—just, kind, gentle…

Artemis took Liang Yue's hand and looked up at her: "Liang Yue, do you know? Legend has it that gods who descend to earth can enjoy ten thousand years of love."

That is, a love that lasts forever with you, through reincarnation…

…………

That night, Hestia quickly washed up and returned to the camp, picked up the spear from Liang Yue's room, and left the stronghold alone.

Hermes, who had been staying at the stronghold for almost the entire time, caught up with the other party.

When Hermes saw his opponent approaching the waterfall with a spear, he called out to him:
"Hestia, what are you doing?"

"It was just a walk."

Hestia is extremely nervous now; even if neither side uses their divine power, she still can't defeat the other.

"Are you carrying a spear that you don't need?"

Hermes came to Hestia's side and looked down.

The two were standing on a very deep waterfall, roughly estimated to be more than ten meters deep.

The width has exceeded 100 meters.

Even if you know it's been thrown in here, it would be very difficult for even high-level adventurers to retrieve it.

"Hestia, do you really think this is a good thing? You should know the truth by now, shouldn't you?"

The power of this spear is indispensable.

The more their hearts were in sync, the stronger the spear became!

Hestia was very disappointed. "Is it really necessary to use this spear? Is there no other way?"

"We have no choice but to use it! There's absolutely no other way. And there's simply not enough time."

Hestia gripped her spear tightly, tears streaming down her face. "But Artemis is so pitiful!"

Finally, Hestia wiped away her tears and returned to the stronghold with her spear.

…………

At dawn, the stronghold was shrouded in mist. However, the adventurers inside were already fully prepared and ready to set off.

This battle was destined to be exceptionally difficult, but none of them chose to back down.

Liang Yue and the others had already assembled, and the remaining adventurers had also completed their equipment preparations.

Artemis then came to the group and began pre-battle mobilization and tactical arrangements.

"Everyone, the area around the ruins has become a monster's lair. Entreles is getting stronger every second."

This is an exceptionally severe test, but do not be afraid, because we do not allow failure.

If we fail, humanity will face annihilation!

Everyone's attention was focused on Artemis, who then began to announce the battle plan.

The objective of this operation is clearly to eliminate Entreles.

Besides Liang Yue's team as the main force, the other adventurers must also play their part as much as possible...
