"Ability value... SSS 1999?"

what is this?

Ais could understand each letter and number in this ability value, but she couldn't understand it when they were put together.

Isn't the highest ability value S?

Why did SSS suddenly appear?

Although Ais is one of the high-ranking members of the Loki Familia, she doesn't really have much information about breaking through the limits of her abilities, because most people don't talk about this.

So when Ais learned of this news, she immediately showed strong resentment, because she had never broken through the limit of her ability value, and it even took her a year to upgrade to level 2!

But Feng Jin and Barbara did it in just four days!

Why am I so weak?

In an instant, just a moment, a wisp of black energy suddenly appeared in Ais's pupils, but it was still noticed by the two people around her.

"Ais!"

"Don't underestimate yourself!"

Ais, who had her head down, was immediately pulled into the arms of the two girls. Because Ais was quite tall, this was the only way that Kaze and Barbara could hold her, after all, they...

She's about the same height as Empress Crydella!

Besides, saying that would definitely get me sentenced to death by Her Majesty the Queen... so let's just leave it at that.

"Feng Jin... Barbara... Am I really that useless?"

It was rare for the blonde girl to open up, as she was known for being quiet and reserved within her clan.

However, now, in front of two people with maternal warmth, Ais finally revealed her vulnerable side.

The "Sword Maiden" who can kill the Dark Clan without batting an eye and remain unmoved even when covered in blood, actually showed such an unpleasant expression. If outsiders knew, they would definitely be shocked.

But Ais didn't care at all, because in the current situation, she was just a cute little girl nestled in her mother's arms.

"Of course not, Ais."

"You just haven't reached your true potential yet, so let us help you train!"

"I believe that you will soon become a great adventurer!"

"A great...adventurer?"

As Ais silently murmured these words, coupled with the sunny expressions of the two girls in front of her, the darkness in her eyes gradually faded and transformed into a rainbow.

Just like the images of Violet and Barbara that appeared before her eyes, they existed only in Ais's memory...

"Yes! Ais will definitely become a great adventurer!"

"Then Feng Jin and Barbara must come too!"

"Huh? Do we want some too?"

"Of course, we'll be adventurers for life!"

A lifetime...

Ais's words did indeed touch upon Feng Jin and Barbara, but they immediately concealed their situation and did not let anyone discover it.

"Since Ais wants it this way, then let's do it this way..."

"We're going to be adventurers for life!"

"The Fallen Fairy... is gone? Are you kidding me?"

"I came to find you immediately after confirming the news. How could I be joking?"

In a secluded chamber, a male and a female deity are discussing something with serious expressions. Judging from their conversation, they are not deities who help Orario.

"But I still refuse to believe it... In Orario, besides the vanished Zeus and Hera Familia, who else possesses the ability to defeat the Fallen Fairies?"

Even if they joined forces with the Freya Familia, let alone the Loki Familia, they still wouldn't be able to defeat the Fallen Fairy.

Because it is a special monster that transcends this era and possesses ancient power, only monster adventurers among humans can fight against it.

In other words, it's fortunate that the Fallen Fairy Spirits didn't directly attack Orario, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to contend with the city's current fighting power!

"Wait, I think I've thought of two people... Wasn't there something that was all over the news a while ago?"

"Plus, a few days ago, that clan was planning an expedition, but they returned early... Maybe they were the ones who did it!"

"You mean Loki? Impossible! I don't believe it!"

When Loki was mentioned, the goddess's expression changed slightly, but she still refused to believe it.

"Enough, Ishtar!"

"It was Loki who did it, because two special beings have just joined their clan's children!"

"Dionysus, you mean... two 'saviors'?"

The identities of the two deities are obvious: Dionysus, the god who colluded with the fallen fairies, and Ishtar, the goddess of the pleasure quarters. Even in the original novel, these two deities are still portrayed as villains.

And he's a dirty villain!

"Savior? You mean those two jokes that Uranus made?"

When Ishtar first heard the words "savior," she didn't take the other party seriously at all. After all, how could a savior possibly be born in this world?

So in less than a day, Ishtar forgot about it, after all, she still had many men to pamper her.

But now, when Dionysus mentioned the Messiah, Ishtar immediately understood what was going on.

"Loki's Familia, the Expedition, the Fallen Fairies... the Savior?"

"So that's what happened, damn Uranus!"

Uranus: ? ? ?

Ishtar gleaned a considerable amount of information from just a few words, but whether that information was useful or not was something only she knew.

"So what should we do next?"

Ishtar's expression was terrible. If the Fallen Fairy's true form was already dead, wouldn't He have one less card to use against Freya?

My methods are far from sufficient to deal with a goddess like that!

"No, there's still a chance!"

Dionysus had a cold expression, but a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.

"Although the Fallen Fairy's original form is dead, we still have some of its clones within us! As long as we nurture them properly, it won't be a problem for another Fallen Fairy to emerge!"

"When the time comes, we will make the Loki Familia pay the price!"

The plan was nearing completion, but Loki's Familia suddenly disrupted Dionysus's arrangements, causing his years-long plan to fail. How could he possibly swallow this insult?

“Me too!” Ishtar raised her head as well. “Doesn’t the Loki Familia have two saviors? And they both seem to be women?”

"Don't kill them then, I'd like them to greet the guests!"

Ishtar's words made Dionysus's eyes widen, and he then helplessly held his head in his hands.

"If we're talking about ruthlessness, I really can't beat you goddesses!"

Dionysus only intended to kill his opponent and make him pay a heavy price, but what about Ishtar?

He actually intended for the Savior to greet the guests?

That's really poisonous!

But Ishtar did not show any displeasure; instead, she smiled, as if Dionysus's words were a compliment.

What does it matter?

"No woman can escape my grasp!"

"Isn't the savior a woman?"

PS:

Back in version 3.4, I spent a lot of money on Bai'e, spending 6+1, which was too much.

I haven't spent any money on Xi Lian yet. I've been grinding for a long time and my luck is pretty good. I managed to get 2+1.

The results were alright; I only got one Blade Master by mistake, but the two gold items were only a dozen or so pulls apart, so it barely counts as a double gold in a 10-pull.

But I definitely won't be drawing six lives again in the future...

This is really heartbreaking!

Kazemi & Barbara / Dungeon Encounters: Chapter 42 The Amazonian Pursuit

Wow, Orario even sells dried fish?

"Then please give me one box, I want the spicy flavor~"

Since arriving in the city of Orario, she first helped adventurers heal in public, and then was summoned to the underground altar by Uranus.

He later joined Loki's Familia, secretly infiltrated dungeons to fight monsters, but was captured again...

They finally had a long expedition, but then this red-haired monster and fairy incident happened.

But today, there shouldn't be anything to do. After all, Finn, the leader of the Loki Familia, went out early this morning, seemingly wanting to discuss matters concerning monsters and fairies with the Familia's allies and the guild, to see if they could find any useful information.

So the Loki Familia naturally became idle.

It's estimated that large-scale access to the dungeon will be impossible for the next few days.

After updating their stats in the morning, Kaze and Barbara took Ais and Lefia to Orario's food street, which led to the scene described above.

Barbara quickly found food that suited her taste…

Spicy dried anchovies!

"Huh? Do we really want to eat this?"

Before Ais could speak, Lefia's face showed a hint of embarrassment, after all, she wasn't good at eating spicy food.

However, when Barbara offered her some snacks, Ais didn't hesitate at all and stuffed them into her mouth.

"Awooo, Ugh..."

For Ais, Barbara and Feng Jin were like each other. Although they hadn't been there long, the aura they exuded was undeniable. They were both gentle people, just like her mother!

Therefore, Barbara would never poison herself, much less harm herself in any way, so Ais ate it directly.

At first, there were no problems, but as Ais chewed faster and faster, the calmness on her face gradually crumbled, and even her cheeks turned red.

"Miss Ais, are you alright?"

When Lefia saw Ais's change, she immediately became anxious, but there was nothing she could do to stop it.

"Don't worry, Lefia~"

"Ais is a level 5 adventurer, how could she possibly lose to spicy dried fish? Let's cheer her on!"

"Would you like one too? It tastes really good!"

Feng Jin's smile was like sunshine falling from the sky, instantly illuminating Leifia's face.

The sunlight seems a little too intense, though?

Lefia swallowed hard, glanced at Ais beside her who was blushing and sweating, then at the dried fish in Barbara's hand, and finally made up her mind.

"Since Miss Ais has already eaten, I absolutely cannot fall behind!"

Although Lefia's level is only lv3, she can unleash firepower comparable to lv5, making her a promising next-generation talent nurtured by her clan.

Moreover, Rafia's idol is Ais, and since her idol has already personally risked his life, how could she be willing to fall behind?

It's just a bunch of spicy dried fish, we can beat you!

He grabbed a handful of spicy dried fish and stuffed it directly into his mouth, then chewed it vigorously.

This scene silenced the two girls watching. They had seen people eat spicy food before, but never anyone eat spicy food like this.

Eating so much at once would be too much for even Barbara. She should at least eat a small piece at a time, like Ais, right?

"Ugh... Ah! It's so spicy..."
