DanMachi: Starting with a Sword Soul Template

"Wien, want to learn Selfless Sword Art? I'll teach you. After learning it, you'll never be bullied by others again." Liam rubbed Wien's head. What Liam had taught before was just the basics of swordsmanship's force application and movements, combat experience, and the like.

And now, what Liam was going to teach was his main sword art.

Wien looked at Liam seriously, "I want to learn, I want to protect Liam!"

"Is that so."

Liam recalled his experiences after obtaining the Sword Soul template in his mind, and then summarized them with his own comprehension.

Subsequently, his gaze looked around, "Is anyone still peeking? If you want to learn, just say so. It's not like I won't teach."

What Liam possessed was Homicidal Intent Perception. As long as there was killing intent nearby, he could sense it.

But what if there was no killing intent? Then he could only rely on his own five senses to perceive his surroundings.

The means of the gods were always diverse. He didn't mind others mastering the Selfless Sword Art, but at the very least, they had to recognize him as their master, right?

If there were really any gods who were idle and freeloaded off his sword art, then he wouldn't mind waiting until after his third awakening to take revenge.

After the white dove left, he no longer sensed any prying.

This time, he got serious, "The so-called true transmission is in one sentence, a false transmission is in ten thousand volumes. The core of Selfless Sword Art is:

The essence of Selfless Sword Art is the life energy within the body. When one enters a state of selflessness and activates this life energy, then one has entered the threshold of Selfless Sword Art!"

The state of selflessness was something many people in his previous life could enter. For example, the selfless moment in basketball, the "zone" state.

This was a state of high concentration and enjoyment, in which athletes could display extraordinary levels of performance.

Life energy could also be understood as the internal energy, or true qi, of wuxia novels.

But after Liam had mastered the Sword Soul template, he had indeed mastered this power. Condensing life energy into sword aura and swinging it out of the body with a blade.

This was also the main reason for his excessive stamina consumption when using Secret Sword Art in the early stages.

The short-term training lasted for a full two days. Liam even took the time to go to the forge at the Goibniu Familia's home base to specially forge a First-Grade armament for Wien.

This was Wien's exclusive armament, possessing the indestructible attribute, as well as growth potential. It used the weapon drop material from the thirty-seventh floor lord, as well as Wien's nails.

So when she first held it in her hand, the armament's power would not be particularly strong.

And the twenty-four First-Grade armaments that Liam had forged, he was also prepared to continue adding growth characteristics to them later.

First-Grade was not the limit. On this path of forging, above First-Grade armaments, perhaps there was still a special-grade armament.

And above special-grade.

Of course, this was all just Liam's speculation. An armament grade above first-grade, even Goibniu could no longer advance.

And Liam had the possibility of breaking through the first grade.

The armament style Liam prepared for Wien was a katana, which was the most numerous type in Orario.

When Liam handed the katana to the other party, he could clearly see Wien's happy expression.

Wien showed a brilliant smile, "A gift from Liam, I like it so much! I like whatever Liam gives me!"

Rubbing Wien's head, Liam felt in his heart that there was still a lot he could do.

"It's time. Shall we go to the party?"

"Mmm."

The time had already come to the evening of the second day. In The Hearthfire Manor, the gods of the major Familias and their Familia members had all come to attend the banquet.

It could be said that every Familia that was sent an invitation had attended.

Liam and the Hestia Familia were just that influential.

In the shadows of the outer wall of The Hearthfire Manor, the members of the Ikelos Familia were scattered, surrounding The Hearthfire Manor.

Although their reputation among the adventurers of Orario was not high, there was more than one Lv5 expert inside.

As long as they were determined to hide, it would be very difficult for others to discover them.

...

Inside the banquet hall.

Ryuu Lion and the others looked at each other. After delivering the invitations to the various Familias, they had gone down to the Dungeon behind Liam's back.

Attempting to find Wien's kind, as a result, they happened to encounter the Xenos who had proactively approached them.

Apart from Wien, there were indeed other intelligent monsters in the Dungeon.

And their number was definitely more than a few. With this information, they returned to the Familia home base.

Ryuu Lion looked at Mikoto and the others, "What are your views now?"

Mikoto looked into the distance, "I'll listen to the captain."

Lili: "I'm not qualified to comment."

Daphne and Cassandra raised their hands at the same time, "We've also just joined. For such an important issue, it's better to listen to the captain."

Ryuu sighed, "Then I'll listen to the captain too."

The reason Ryuu still had to ask for everyone's opinion after the banquet had started was mainly because this incident was really too serious.

If handled improperly, the entire Familia would face extreme danger.

This would determine the relationship between all of Orario and the monsters.

The second-floor door of the inner banquet hall opened, and Liam and Wien, who had changed into evening wear, appeared.

At once, the gazes of the lively banquet crowd all turned towards Liam and Wien.

Liam and Wien stood on the second-floor balcony. Liam held Wien's hand with one hand, while the other rested on the stair railing in front of him.

On the first floor of the banquet hall, Hestia was chatting idly with a group of goddesses. Upon seeing the surroundings quiet down, she also subconsciously looked towards the second floor.

As a result, she saw the handsome and dashing Liam, and the beautiful and lovely Wien.

A well-tailored suit and a lady's evening gown were worn by the two respectively, making them instantly the focus of the evening party.

Although Hestia's evening gown and Wien's were of the same design level, under Liam's rhythm, she, Hestia, was also eclipsed.

"What is he doing, being so in the limelight?"

Wien's evening gown generously exposed her monstrous features.

And so the expressions and moods of the crowd were constantly changing with every breath.

What on earth is Liam going to do?

That woman looks like a monster from the Dungeon.

So what on earth is going on?

Liam held Wien's hand and princess-carried her. Immediately after, a ripple of sword aura unfurled around him.

One by one, gorgeous blades emerged from the Selfless Sword Aura, lying flat in the empty space between the second floor of the stairs and the first-floor ground.

Using twenty-four First-Grade armaments to form twenty-four steps?

Ais's pupils contracted sharply. Liam's strength had improved again!

This was Liam controlling the Selfless Sword Domain, simultaneously unfolding four inclined sword aura ripples in mid-air.

Each sword aura ripple could simultaneously reveal six sharp blades.

This was already his current limit of control.

Liam princess-carried Wien. Although he didn't speak, everyone's gaze was still firmly locked on him.

It wasn't until Liam, carrying Wien, walked step by step to the first-floor stage.

"Liam, who is next to you? Why does she look so much like a monster?" One of the guests spoke up. Liam's gaze turned to her. The speaker was the hostess of the restaurant, Syr.

Liam was grateful in his heart, "You're right. She is the new member of our Hestia Familia, and also a monster with intelligence, who can communicate with us humans and other intelligent races on an equal footing."

Wien was so nervous her hands didn't know what to do. She suddenly bowed, knocking her head on the lecture table in front of her, directly smashing it.

"Hello everyone, my name is Wien. I am a new member of the Hestia Familia! Please take care of me."

It had to be said that after Wien put on the formal dress specially designed by a designer for her, although her monstrous features were exposed, her human side was greatly enhanced.

Compared to a monster, Wien's more lovely human beauty features were more noticed by everyone present.

It was like the clothes make the man. Wien's public appearance this time, on the contrary, did not cause panic among the crowd.

After all, they were mainly main gods and adventurers. They had seen many big scenes.

Syr continued to speak, "But Captain Liam, I remember she is a monster. Why do you want to let a monster become a Familia member?

Don't you know that monsters have always been our enemies?"

Yes, this topic was very sharp. But it had to be faced!

Wien had a look of bewilderment. She looked at Liam, then at Syr with a guilty expression.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."

Liam rubbed Wien's head, "Wien is an intelligent race. Although she is a monster, I believe she should have equal human rights with us humans, pallums, beastmen, elves, etc.

Wien will become a member of the Hestia Familia.

Just like if an adventurer attacks a passerby, the passerby can naturally kill the adventurer in self-defense.

Wien is the same. On the premise of guaranteeing her human rights, I will vouch for her with my personality. She will never proactively attack anyone except in self-defense."

Discussions gradually rose from the crowd.

It was still Syr who spoke of the topic Liam was most concerned about.

"Then Captain Liam, in the future when we go to the Dungeon, if we encounter intelligent monsters like Wien again, how should we face them?

An adventurer is a profession that risks one's life to hunt monsters to obtain benefits and improve one's strength."

Liam looked at the crowd. The discussions among everyone in the banquet died down.

They were all looking at Liam's opinion.

"I personally hope that everyone can maintain peace with intelligent monsters. As for whether the other party is willing, it can be judged like this.

I hope everyone tries their best to only hunt targets that actively attack.

If the other party begs for mercy and speaks, I hope you can capture them alive. I will purchase them at a price twice as high as the black market price.

If an intelligent monster actively attacks you, you can hunt or capture them depending on the situation."

Twice as high as the market price, then something that sells for one hundred thousand Valis on the black market, Liam and his group's purchase price would become three hundred thousand Valis!

Ikelos squeezed in at this time. This was a rakish person who looked like a hooligan just by his appearance.

"Hahahaha, that's hilarious. Liam, don't you think your words are really too naive?

Do you know how high the selling price of intelligent monsters is on the black market?"

Liam coughed, "By the way, our Familia runs the Grand Casino. The monthly net profit is quite high.

Perhaps if your Familia is involved in monster smuggling, we can afford to buy as many as you have."

"Hmph! How could our Familia do such a dirty thing as monster smuggling!"

Ikelos cursed and kicked over a dining table, preparing to leave so arrogantly.

However, the next moment, a dazzling golden divine dragon was swung out from the Sloth Liam was holding.

"ROAR!"

The dazzling divine dragon brought with it a violent roar and a golden flash, instantly descending in front of Ikelos, blasting an astonishing crater in the ground in front of him.

"Causing trouble at my place? Are you sure you've thought this through?"

Although he was only Lv4, he had instantly released the astonishing destructive power that only a Lv5 level could possess.

This one blow, even the Lv6 powerhouses present, their expressions became serious.

This kind of move, even they would find it very difficult to defend against perfectly.

Liam, just how exaggerated had his strength become?

Ikelos's face became very ugly. He bowed to Liam in apology, then personally righted the kicked-over dining table and hurriedly left.

Putting Sloth into the Selfless Sword Domain, Liam began to chat with the many gods present.

First was the Ganesha Familia. Ganesha feigned a look of surprise, "Captain Liam, you're really bold.

To actually invite a monster to become a member of the Familia."

Liam couldn't see any other expression on Ganesha's face. The other party clearly didn't have the personality to pat him on the shoulder three times and then ask him to come to his room at three in the morning for a chat.

No secret sign?

Liam repeatedly sized up Ganesha. It wasn't until he really saw no other message on the other party.

And so Liam once again led Wien towards Goibniu.

As a well-known forging powerhouse, Goibniu and his Familia members rarely appeared in public.

"Master!"

Goibniu looked at Liam with a complicated expression, "You brat, you're really good at causing trouble for me. Of course, I agree with your idea.

If Wien and her possible companions are not of a murderous nature, perhaps the Dungeon and Orario will usher in a new pattern."

Liam nodded seriously, "Thank you, master."

Goibniu patted Liam's shoulder, "You boy, you have to be ambitious. When you have time, bring Wien to my place for a visit.

I just happen to have a new armor design inspiration."

Liam looked at Wien, "Aren't you going to thank master quickly?"

"Thank you, master!"

Goibniu waved his hand and left the banquet with his Familia members.

Hestia was chatting with Hephaestus. Loki came over again with a wine barrel.

She was drinking, a drunken look on her face. "Hestia, your Familia captain is so naive."

"Enough, you guy, you just want to piss me off every day, right!"

"What did I do now? The current surface races, how can they so easily accept intelligent monsters?"

Hearing this, Hestia was furious, "Hmph! You're really pissing me off."

Hephaestus crossed her arms, "I heard Liam became Goibniu's apprentice?"

"Yes, what's wrong? Of the weapons that just appeared, several were forged by Liam himself."

Hephaestus had a look of surprise, "His forging talent can actually be so exaggerated?"

Even she was starting to become curious about Liam.
