In this chaotic world, it all started when they found an elf girl

　Therefore, many members of the Apollo Familia were forced or semi-forced to join.

　"Daphne Lalos!"

　"You can't escape!"

　"Accept Lord Apollo's love!"

　……

　The members of the Apollo Familia were all talking at once, clearly acknowledging that Daphne would join them.

　Daphne struggled to her feet, panting heavily. She had intended to run into the underground city, but she had exhausted herself and was caught up. Her face was filled with despair.

　Who can help her? Daphne looked at the others with pitiful, pleading eyes.

　However, the adventurers watched with amusement, showing no intention of offering any help. They were quite used to the Apollo Familia's hunting expeditions.

　"This time it's a girl, don't break her!"

　"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

　There were also adventurers with bad tempers making jokes.

　"You bastards!" Daphne rushed forward in anger, but she was powerless and posed no threat.

　"Hey, don't lean on me!" A middle-aged adventurer pushed Daphne away with disgust.

　Daphne was pushed aside, and the others retreated, suddenly creating a large open space. By sheer chance, Daphne fell at Roy's feet.

　"Why did this have to happen to me?" Daphne lay on the ground, tears welling up in her eyes.

　Are you "that LV.1"?

　The members of Apollo's Kinsei surrounded them, and at that moment, one of them let out a surprised sound.

　All eyes turned to Roy.

　In Orario, high-ranking or well-known adventurers are usually addressed by their titles. Although this may have a touch of the wicked humor of some unscrupulous gods, it is a form of recognition from the gods for the achievements of adventurers.

　This can be described as an unparalleled honor!

　Only close friends would address each other by their first names.

　Since Roy doesn't have a title yet, but he's somewhat famous, they can only call him "that LV.1".

　“I’m just watching the show, don’t worry about it…” Roy laughed, but he was interrupted before he could finish.

　“I remember he was from the Astrea Familia.”

　"It would be a good thing if the group of people who meddle in other people's business under the banner of 'justice' were wiped out."

　"Level 1 brat, get lost!"

　"Don't mind your own business!"

　……

　Given the Astrea Familia's past practices, they would definitely get involved in this matter, so the Apollo Familia members were not polite at all. They didn't think that LV.1 Roy could pose any threat to them.

　This domineering attitude made Roy's smile disappear; he really had no intention of getting involved in this matter.

　But if the other party said that, he wouldn't be happy. He was determined to uphold justice today!

　Even Buddhas fight for a stick of incense, and people fight for a breath of air!

　Roy had no doubt that he would be forced to retreat by the Apollo Familia today.

　Tomorrow, the whole of Orario will be saying that the LV.1 member of the Astrea Familia was yelled at by someone from the Apollo Familia and slunk away.

　If it were Freya's or Loki's Familia, Roy might have tolerated it. But what kind of trash is Apollo's Familia? Their leader, Hyacinthus, just reached LV.3.

　The Rudra clan that he and Ryu killed had both a senior LV.3 leader and vice-leader.

　That's far from enough to scare him!

　"Run as far as you can, I'll hold them off for you." Roy squatted down and smiled at Daphne, but he gave off a feeling of a smiling tiger.

　Daphne was slightly taken aback.

　call out!

　Sensing the sound of wind breaking behind him, Roy drew his Mura no Yoshitsuki, turned around, and blocked the sword that was slashing at him. The blades clashed and sparks flew.

　"You brat, I told you not to meddle in other people's business!" The young elf from the Apollo Familia gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands and pressed it down with all his might.

　The opponent had also just reached LV.2. Roy felt the force was very light; he could probably block it with one hand.

　"You're so weak!" Roy sneered, kicking out quickly and landing in the opponent's abdomen.

　The heavy kick sent the elven youth staggering back seven or eight meters, leaving him kneeling on the ground, his face pale, feeling his abdomen churning as he vomited bile.

　Roy shouted, "Run!"

　Daphne didn't care about anything else, not even asking Roy's name, and fled hastily into the shadows.

　"You brat, you're looking for death!"

　The Apollo clan swarmed forward.

　Roy showed no fear and faced the challenge head-on. Reaching LV.2 required adaptation, and actual combat was undoubtedly the best way to train.

　Roy had no reason not to smash this bunch of social scum in front of him; it would be good exercise and he could vent his anger at the same time.

　"Hey, is that guy really LV.1?"

　"A lie! Absolutely a lie!"

　Seeing Roy take on more than a dozen people single-handedly, the surrounding adventurers showed a look of astonishment. They had never seen a Level 1 adventurer who could run rampant against a group of Level 1 adventurers and several Level 2 adventurers.

　This is definitely a seasoned LV.2 adventurer!

　Just after Roy took down seven or eight people, a blur of motion swept past and attacked Roy from behind.

　Sensing this fierce aura, Roy decisively abandoned the others, raised his arm to block the opponent's whip kick, and firmly planted himself in a horse stance, as steady as Mount Tai. He looked up.

　Opposite him was a handsome young man whose appearance rivaled that of an elf, with fair skin and a tall figure. He wore white gloves and behaved with the elegance of a gentleman.

　Hyacintos Creo!

　A newly promoted LV.3 adventurer, titled "The Sun's Favorite," and the leader of the Apollo Familia.

Chapter 49 Summoning Miss Ryu

　"Ok?"

　Hyacintos's long, slender leg was aimed directly at Roy's head. When he saw that Roy was able to block it, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

　"Level 3 and you still dare to launch a sneak attack? Is this how Apollo taught you guys?" Roy took two steps back, shaking his slightly numb hands. Fortunately, the dungeon training and the battle just now had allowed him to initially grasp the power of Level 2, otherwise he would have been kicked away directly.

　"Shut up!"

　"You lowly person are not worthy to talk about Lord Apollo!" Hyacinthus slammed his fist down.

　"It's better than you bunch of gays!"

　Upon hearing this, Roy's face turned cold, and he ruthlessly exposed the Apollo Familia's lack of dignity.

　The powerful force of LV.3 rushed towards him. Roy stared intently at his opponent, his muscles tense, and chose to dodge. The fist grazed past his cheek.

　It's foolish to engage in a head-on confrontation when your abilities are inferior to your opponent's. Defeating an enemy of a higher level requires a combination of factors, including ability, skill, strategy, courage, and even language.

　Roy appeared to be forced to flee in a sorry state by Hyacinthus, but he always managed to nimbly dodge Hyacinthus's attacks at the last second. Despite the opponent's seemingly fierce maneuvers, he never actually touched him.

　This made Hyacinthus even angrier.

　Roy was like a patient hunter lurking in the grass, waiting for his prey to make a mistake.

　This opportunity didn't take long to arrive.

　Compared to the original timeline, Hyacinthus is now in his early seventeens, having just advanced to LV.3. As the leader of his clan, he is full of vigor and pride.

　The opponent's movements were far less skillful.

　"You monkey who only knows how to run away!" Hyacinthus took a step forward and unleashed a powerful Rising Dragon Fist.

　In that instant, Roy seized the opportunity.

　Roy tilted his body to dodge Hyacinthus's rising dragon, then spun 180 degrees and burrowed into Hyacinthus's arms like an eel.

　With his back pressed tightly against the other person's chest, he delivered a powerful elbow strike to the other person's stomach.

　"puff!"

　Hyacinthus's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; he staggered back, coughing violently.

　"You are LV.2!"

　Hyacinthus's mouth was dripping with saliva, but he didn't care about his image. In this new round of confrontation, he finally realized that Roy was not a LV.1 nobody.

　The surrounding adventurers were in an uproar.

　Roy looked to be in his early thirties. It's quite rare to see someone at LV.2 this age. Some of them are even in their thirties or forties and are still stuck at LV.1.

　"Surround him!"

　Hyacinthus's disdain vanished; LV.1 and LV.2 were two completely different realms.

　Reaching LV.2 signifies that the adventurer has undoubtedly achieved something extraordinary. Such an adventurer must possess achievements that surpass those of ordinary adventurers in certain areas.

　Underestimating a Level 2 adventurer can lead to disaster!

　Twenty or thirty members of the Apollo Familia surrounded Roy, most of them LV.1, four or five LV.2, and Hyacinthus, the LV.3 leader of the Familia.

　The nearby adventurers quickly made way, their eyes filled with schadenfreude as they looked at Roy. "You're meddling in other people's business, aren't you? Now you're going to get what's coming to you!"

　"Humph!"

　Roy glanced at them, his face disdainful. Did they think only you guys could call in reinforcements?

　Since the opponent is of a higher level, and he still insists on using a human wave tactic while continuing to fight alone, then Roy must have lost his mind. He opened his mouth and shouted loudly, "Miss Ryu, your family members are about to be ganged up on!"

　By checking his teammates' locations through the system, Roy knew from the beginning that Ryu was nearby.

　With a level 4 bodyguard by his side, how could he dare not provoke a mere member of the Apollo Familia?!

　Several seconds passed, and there was no movement.

　An awkward atmosphere seemed to fill the air, and the faint cawing of crows could be heard in everyone's ears.

　Roy's face darkened. No way, was that girl really going to just watch him get beaten up?

　"Ugh!"

　Finally, a helpless sigh rang out, clearly audible in the quiet crowd.

　All eyes turned to that familiar figure draped in a cloak; who else could it be but Ryu?

　"blast!"

　The onlookers quickly stepped back, making way for Ryukyu, demonstrating the undeniable power of Ryukyu's presence.

　After dealing with the Rudra clan, he emerged from the dungeon covered in blood.

　Ryu first glanced at Roy with a lingering look, then said coldly, "Apollo Familia, step back. He is a member of our Astrea Familia!"

　The members of Apollo's Familia exchanged glances, and finally all eyes were fixed on Hyacinthus.

　“Swiftwind, he let our target go. You think you can take him away with just a few words? That's going too far!” Yacintos said in a deep voice.

　If it were the former Astrea Familia, they would naturally not dare to offend them. But with only Gale left, the Apollo Familia might be able to take a hit!

　Although it's unknown how these two wiped out the Rudra clan in the dungeon, those methods wouldn't work on the surface!

　Seeing that Ryu remained silent, Hyacinthus, believing he had overwhelmed him with his imposing manner, continued, "Gale, you are nothing but remnants of the old era. There is no place for you in the new era!"

　Hyacinthus's reckless behavior left Roy speechless, and he saw Ryu's face growing increasingly grim.

　"Let's fight! Let's fight!" Roy thought, fueling the fire.

　As he wished, the cold light in Liu's eyes grew even colder, and the next second, his figure shot out.

　Facing the renowned Ryu, Hyacintos dared not be careless and raised his vigilance to the highest level, but the gap in strength was far beyond his ability to overcome.

　Before he could even get a clear look at Ryu's figure, a long, slender shadow swept past—it was Ryu's wooden sword—striking him away and leaving him completely stunned.

　thump!
