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

　Influenced by his "adventure" development ability, Roy's stats increased at an insanely rapid pace.

　Before going on stage, he had already drunk the power enhancement potion obtained from the Parasite Beast dungeon, which increased his own power attribute by 30% and lasted for ten minutes. Combined with his development ability, his power was raised to SSS level!

　The difference between LV.2 and LV.3 is indeed significant.

　However, Roy's full SSS stats at LV.1, with the activation of his "Adventure" ability and the boost from the Power Enhancement Potion, were enough to make his stats catch up with Hyacinthus at LV.3.

Chapter 67 The Information That Decides the Outcome

　"Come, Hyacinthus!"

　Roy said coldly, his figure moving quickly, rushing in front of Hyacinthus, and slashing fiercely with the Murakami Sword. The sharp sword light swept through the void, shining brightly.

　Clang!

　Hyacinthus raised his sword, sparks flying from the blade, and said with a ferocious expression, "Just because you've gained the same ability value as me, don't get too arrogant!"

　Although it is unknown how Roy improved his stats, as a LV.3 adventurer, the battles, achievements, and experience he has gained far surpass those of a LV.2 adventurer, so he has absolute confidence!

　That's exactly the case!

　Hyacinthus's sword flashed, leaving afterimages as he attacked from all sorts of tricky angles, forcing Roy to retreat continuously.

　Clang! Clang! Clang!

　Each clash of the blades produced a crisp metallic clang, sparks flew, and Roy retreated repeatedly, causing everyone to feel a sense of tension.

　“Don’t worry, there’s not a trace of panic on Roy’s face,” Hermes said with burning eyes.

　The calmer you are, the more likely you are to win in the end.

　Roy's steps were perfectly steady. In terms of combat experience, he was slightly inferior, but not by much. You see, he spent all his time sparring with Ryu, who was at LV.4. Compared to that, the speed of Hyacintosh, who was at LV.3, was nothing to him.

　Within the sword net constructed by Hyacinthus, Roy keenly detected a tiny gap.

　call out!

　Roy's Muramasa sword suddenly thrust out, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, breaking through the tight net of swords and heading straight for Hyacinthus's head. The chilling killing intent seemed to materialize as a venomous snake coiled around the latter's neck.

　At the critical moment, Hyacinthus turned his head away and escaped unharmed, leaving him drenched in cold sweat.

　Warm liquid flowed down, and when Hyacinthus reached out to touch it, he felt a stinging pain. Looking closer, he saw a crimson stain; the sword had still sliced ​​his cheek.

　"You bastard!"

　Hyacinthus was immediately enraged, as he had become extremely concerned about his appearance ever since that strange illness.

　"drink!!"

　Hyacinthus seemed to transform into a berserker, wildly swinging his longsword and slashing at Roy.

　Roy was like an elite assassin; when his first attack failed, he fell silent again and switched to defense.

　Waiting for the right opportunity to arrive.

　A chilling killing intent lingered around him, making Hyacinthus feel as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat.

　Click!

　Faced with Hyacinthus's repeated slashes, Roy's Murako sword was covered in marks, and a crack became more and more obvious. Finally, the slender sword broke in two.

　"Hahaha, as expected of the impoverished Apollo Familia, owing sixty million Fali, they don't even have a decent weapon!" Hyacinthus was even more smug. The solar flame-shaped sword in his hand was a high-level weapon of the Apollo Familia, a weapon that only the successive captains could use!

　With that, Hyacinthus pressed his advantage, swinging his cold sword and aiming for Roy's forehead.

　Roy raised his steel arm guard to block, but the sun-flame-shaped sword sliced ​​through without leaving a mark.

　"What is that arm guard?"

　Hyacinthus felt the recoil returning to him, his hands went numb, and he frowned.

　The Steel Armguards are truly epic quality, even better than the Sunfire Sword!

　Roy stared at Yacintos with a cold gaze.

　He actually had several opportunities to retaliate, but he suppressed his urge to act. He had no interest in petty squabbles; he only wanted to kill with one blow!

　"My name is Love, darling of light. I dedicate this body to my sun! My name is Sin, the jealousy of the wind. I summon a gust of wind to descend upon this body!!"

　At this moment, Hyacinthus did not continue his attack. Instead, he retreated and ran towards the edge of the arena, chanting incoherently.

　"Oh no, it's magic!"

　Everyone's expression changed. Magic was always used as a trump card, and its use could decide the outcome of the battle!

　Hyacinthus is not like Ryu; he cannot simultaneously handle five actions: high-speed attack, movement, evasion, defense, and chanting. At most, he can manage to escape and chant.

　Facing someone with greater strength, such half-baked parallel chanting is suicidal.

　But his enemy is Roy at level 2. Hyacinthus is determined to escape with all his might and is absolutely confident that he can keep Roy from catching him in a short time.

　They could only watch helplessly as he unleashed his magic.

　Roy knew this too, and had no intention of chasing after him. He stood still, ready to block.

　"—Unleash the Fiery Wheel! Come forth, Western Wind! Crimson Radiance! Alien Phantasm Zephyros!"

　After Hyacinthus finished chanting, a halo appeared in his hand, which spun and released flames. He threw it out, and it flew through the air toward Roy.

　The aperture appeared in an instant, standing in front of Roy.

　protector!

　Roy silently activated the special effect of his steel arm guards, and invisible ripples spread out, forming a magical shield.

　boom! !

　A violent explosion occurred, the earth shook violently, and flames roared like a giant dragon, engulfing the surrounding area for dozens of meters.

　The onlookers felt a chill; they were taking things too far, worried that someone might die.

　As the roar subsided, a figure emerged from the depths of the dust. As the dust thinned, the figure gradually became clearer, standing in the center of the sunken crater.

　It was Roy, completely unharmed!

　"hiss!"

　A collective gasp filled the arena. Could they really be going head-to-head with a level 3 adventurer's magic?

　Only the gazes of gods and high-ranking adventurers fell upon Roy's arm guards, their eyes thoughtful.

　Hyacinthus was completely unaware of all this. His confidence began to waver, and he angrily shouted, "Why aren't you dead yet?!"

　Roy did not answer, but like Hyacinthus, he stepped back and began to chant, "Charge, Thunder Spear, I am the one who will carry out your orders..."

　"You think I'd give you the chance to chant or cast spells? How naive!"

　When Hyacinthus saw Roy trying to imitate him, he couldn't help but mock him. He thought Roy had some hidden trump card, how ridiculous!

　Before he finished speaking, Hyacinthus unleashed his full speed, charging towards Roy like a raging bull.

　Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill for Roy. Roy had been an adventurer for less than a month, so it was impossible for him to know such an advanced technique as parallel chanting.

　Only Liu's eyes remained calm. It was over. Back in the dungeon, Roy had already set a trap for Hyacinthus.

　Facing the overwhelming force of Hyacinthus.

　Suddenly, Roy advanced instead of retreating.

　Activating the special effect of the Wind Chaser Boots breaks through the limits of agility and speed, reaching SSS level.

　The two seemed to be heading in opposite directions, almost instantly shortening the distance.

　This caught Hyacinthus completely off guard.

　Roy's lips curled into a sinister smile. The incantation did not end, but golden lightning surged from his palm, crackling and forming a sphere.

　Hyacinthus's eyes widened. Was the magic complete?

　The ball of lightning in Roy's hand expanded again, reaching a diameter of one meter. The surging lightning emitted a dangerous aura and struck Hyacinthus's face without hesitation.

　Bang!

　The lightning engulfed Hyacinthus's figure, and the resulting explosion was in no way inferior to the magic from before.

　"Ahhhhhhhhhh-"

　A horrific scream echoed through the sky!

Chapter 68 Apollo's Despair

　Hyacinthus's screams were incessant!

　The arena, and indeed the entire Orario, fell into a brief silence. What did they see?

　Roy unleashed the magic without completing the incantation!

　Hyacinthus's body was charred black, his hair was a mess, and his handsome face was the worst off, as if it had been roasted in a furnace, completely disfigured.

　Bang!

　Roy lunged forward, grabbed Hyacinthus's head with his large hand, and slammed him heavily to the ground, burying his face deep into the earth.

　"impossible?!"

　"Your incantation isn't finished yet, so how can you unleash magic?" Hyacinthus shouted in despair, struggling to move his eyes to stare at Roy.

　Roy held down the struggling Hyacinthus and laughed, "Who knows? He might be released occasionally."

　No one will believe this explanation.

　Hermes analyzed, "It's impossible to release magic by interrupting the chant; either his incantation only contains the part he just recited, or..."

　"Incantationless magic!"

　Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, including the gods, many of whom stood up.

　What a miracle!

　For thousands of years, since the gods descended to the mortal realm, they have bestowed their blessings upon many races, unlocking their potential and giving rise to all sorts of skills and magic.

　Even the simplest magic requires a very short incantation, with at least two words.

　Roy's magic can be released at any time!

　Extremely rare magic!

　The gods' breathing became rapid, as if a pack of hungry wolves had spotted a piece of fresh meat.

　This swift speed also caused the mages who could only stand still and cast spells to have a mental breakdown, their eyes turning red as they stared at the boy in the arena.

　From the moment he began the campaign against Goliath, Roy was setting a trap for Hyacinthus, making him mistakenly believe that his magic required chanting.

　During his "chanting," Hyacinthus would naturally think he had become a sitting duck, and would rush at him without thinking, which is exactly what happened.

　He took Roy's magic head-on.

　Hyacintos quickly realized everything, and looked at Roy with terror in his eyes. Roy had been plotting against him since that moment, which was terrifying.

　"drink!"

　Roy roared, bent over and ran forward, grabbed Hyacinthus's head, and used the other's cheek as a rag to frantically rub it on the ground.

　Hyacinthus couldn't even let out a scream.

　"Enough! Justice has been served, the outcome is decided!" Shakti, the leader of the Ganesha Familia, stepped forward as the referee. If the fight continued, someone would surely die!

　Roy turned around and stared coldly at Shakti.

　Shakti subconsciously took a step back, feeling as if she were being stared at by an enraged lion. It was strange, considering she was a level 5 adventurer, yet Roy, a mere level 2, could make her feel a little wary.

　Hyacinthus was already halfway to death. He had lost consciousness, his entire face was smoothed out, a bloody mess, and he was completely unrecognizable as a human being.

　Liu, sitting in the audience, frowned. The moment the magic hit Hyacinthus, the opponent was already defeated. What Roy did afterward was pure torture.

　The goddess Astraea said softly, "Daphne, the child who colluded with Roy, was severely injured by Hyacinthus's abuse of power."

　Ryu suddenly realized that this was the reason for Roy's anger, and it could be considered the retribution for the Apollo Familia's own actions of forcing others to join the Familia.

　Looking at the boy's back again, Ryu seemed to understand something; the boy also had a sense of "justice."

　At this moment, the elf girl began to acknowledge Roy as a member of the Astrea Familia.

　Hermes pulled his hat down, showing that this "hero candidate" was quite a character.
