The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

Chapter 134 Water God's Protection

"This—this isn't a beauty potion!"

Eina was both amused and exasperated by Feng Jin's actions, but her anger subsided considerably.

She sighed helplessly, and finally couldn't help but urge, "Anyway—no matter what, you must be careful, and you must win."

After bidding farewell to the worried Eina, Fenyu, carrying the pair of swords that had fallen from the "Advanced Ninja Warrior," headed to the Hephaestus Familia branch in the Eighth District.

Upon seeing these weapons, Tsubaki Corbrand, Orario's strongest blacksmith known as the "One-Eyed Master," immediately brightened up.

"Oh my god, what's this?! Is it a drop from a new type of monster?"

She snatched the twin swords as if admiring priceless treasures. "The material, the structure—it's so interesting! Hey, Fenyu, I'll take these swords."

Before Fenyu could even speak, Chun tossed him a heavy money bag, showing no intention of haggling and displaying an air of "I'm not short of money."

Her only regret was that one of the knives had obvious signs of melting.

"Tsk, what a pity, such good materials, and one of them was melted down—what kind of contraption did you use?"

Fen Yu simply smiled and offered no explanation.

Chun didn't mind, patted him on the shoulder heartily, and laughed loudly, "Kid, your war game is coming up in a couple of days, right? Don't lose!"

She blinked and lowered her voice, saying, "In a siege, the most effective way to fight against overwhelming odds is to use magic swords to clear the ground. That's what people outside are guessing too. They all say that if your Fukaros Familia wants to turn the tide, the only way is to buy a large number of magic swords."

"How about this," she held up two fingers, "considering the rare materials, if you buy the magic sword from me, I'll give you a 20% discount, a special offer."

However, Fen Yu simply smiled, weighed the money pouch in his hand, and then took his leave.

Just kidding, he's dirt poor, where would he get the money to buy an expensive magic sword?

Not to mention "a lot".

Even the least powerful magic sword is worth millions of faeries, and the more powerful ones are even more expensive, items that Loki's Familia couldn't afford to buy in large quantities during their expeditions.

Moreover, he doesn't need it.

When Fenyu pushed open the familiar wooden door of the clan headquarters, they were greeted by Funina, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Quickly, quickly, you're finally back!"

Funina, like an excited little bird, came up to us chattering away, hands on her hips.

"Let me quickly update your blessings. We are about to go to war with Apollo, that golden peacock. You must be in the best possible condition to stage a magnificent reversal."

However, just as she was about to pull Fenyu into the room, the look in her heterochromatic eyes suddenly changed.

Her originally lively and energetic temperament instantly subsided, replaced by a serene, deep-sea-like, majestic, and ethereal divinity.

That was Fukaros, who had taken control of the body.

"I will be in charge of this update."

"Fukaros said softly."

Tifa, Robin, and Violet all sensed the change in the atmosphere and remained silent in tacit agreement.

Burning Feather was the first to update.

He followed Fucarus into the room, and then quite naturally took off his shirt, revealing his bare upper body.

His skin wasn't a weak, pale white, but rather a healthy hue honed by the trials of the underground city.

After this period of intense fighting and growth, his muscle lines have become more and more smooth and distinct, without a trace of excess fat. His back is broad and his waist and abdomen are firm, like an ancient Greek sculpture, full of restrained power and beauty.

A few faint scars left from battle adorn the piece, but instead of ruining its beauty, they add a unique charm that suggests it has been through countless battles.

He skillfully lay down on the bed, waiting for the divine blood to drip.

"Wait a minute," came Fukaros's cool voice. "Sit up."

Fen Yu was somewhat puzzled, but still obeyed the command, turned over and sat up, looking at the goddess in front of him with confusion.

Fukaros slowly walked up to him, scrutinizing him with her heterochromatic eyes, and slowly said, "As a member of the water god's kin, your magic and skills are simply too much for me to bear."

As she said this, before Fen Yu could react, Fukalos reached out her slender, fair hands and gently cupped his cheeks before slowly leaning closer.

"Fukaros, isn't this...is a little too fast?"

As he gazed at that flawless, beautiful face that kept magnifying before his eyes, and felt the faint fragrance emanating from her, Fen Yu's heart pounded wildly, completely out of control.

Seriously? You're going to go this far? My first kiss is going to end here today?

Just as their noses were almost touching, and Fen Yu could even feel the other's warm breath, a sly smile flashed in Fukaros's calm eyes.

Then, she tilted her head slightly and gently pressed her soft lips to Fen Yu's forehead.

"Chirp~"

Feeling the soft touch on his forehead that was about to disappear, Fen Yu was completely stunned.

My mind went blank, and then a huge sense of regret washed over me.

That's it? That's it?! I've already taken my pants off—no, my heart was in my throat, and this is what you show me?

"Alright, God's blessing is over, let's begin the update."

Fukaros didn't explain anything, released his grip, and commanded in a calm tone, completely ignoring Fen Yu's aggressive gaze.

Suppressing her inner urge and desire to complain, Fen Yu lay back down on the bed.

This time, Fucarus straddled his waist without hesitation.

Fukaros gently pricked her fingertip with a silver needle, and a drop of crimson divine blood, shimmering with holy light, fell onto Fenyu's broad back, quickly seeping into her skin and beginning the renewal of grace.

After an unknown amount of time, the update was complete.

Fukaros looked at the newly emerging patterns in the intricate designs on Burning Feather's back and revealed a satisfied smile.

She stood up and handed the parchment with her notes to Fenyu.

Fen Yu took the parchment, and when he saw his newly generated ability values, a look of astonishment instantly filled his face.
