DanMachi: Starting with a Sword Soul Template

The banquet ended smoothly. After a night of fermentation, all of Orario knew that Captain Liam had accepted an intelligent monster as a Familia member. This was the first major news of its kind in the history of Orario, and its sensational nature directly caused an astonishing earthquake in Orario.

In the morning, Liam was having breakfast with Wien and the others again.

Lili proactively brought up the topic, "Liam, we went to the Dungeon two days ago and met Wien's kind."

Liam nodded, "And then?"

"Wien's kind just said a few words to us. They want to see you."

Liam nodded, "I see. As long as you can accept that Wien and her kind can become our companions.

They don't necessarily have to become members of our Familia. At least, they can become employees of our Familia, or collaborators."

The reason Liam decided to reveal Wien's existence so urgently was purely because if he didn't do so now, then her kind would be slaughtered.

He was worried that without interfering with the plot, Wien would also die. Even if she would be resurrected, what if? What if she wasn't resurrected?

What if there were some problems with the resurrection?

The Ikelos Familia had not yet taken the initiative to look for trouble. To slaughter all the adventurers of the entire Familia, planning it was still a bit troublesome.

So, if he could buy them off with money, that would naturally be the best.

"Liam, my back is so itchy."

Wien looked at Liam aggrievedly, and then a dragon wing grew out of her back. The kind of dragon wing of a Western dragon.

Liam looked at everyone, then patted Wien's head. "It's okay, Wien. No matter what you become, I won't dislike you."

Wien, who had become uneasy due to the changes in her body, also calmed down.

"Just right, we've all finished eating. Shall we go for a walk? To live freely on the surface, one always has to have more contact with everyone."

After a bit of tidying up, Liam took Wien out onto the street.

Especially now with a dragon wing on her back, this made the local residents' attitude towards Wien even more subtle.

"It's a monster!"

"Don't be afraid. It's said she has become a member of the Hestia Familia!"

"Really? Can monsters also become Familia members?"

"I have to say, this monster is quite good-looking."

Ignoring the discussions of these people around them, Liam just openly took Wien for a walk throughout Orario.

After walking for about half an hour, Liam brought Wien to the most prosperous street in Orario, which was the street where the Grand Casino was located.

Because it was morning, there were not too many guests inside the Grand Casino.

Mainly all-night gamblers. Currently, there was basically no cheating in the Grand Casino. Once discovered, one of the four limbs would be cut off.

But even with probability-based gambling, these gamblers were tirelessly immersed in it.

The possibility of winning a sky-high return with a small stake against a small win rate made these gamblers extremely excited.

Even a libertine would find it hard to fight all night, but gambling, you could.

All Liam could do was to ensure fairness as much as possible, and only take a rake. Although the profit was reduced, the number of gamblers who came was actually more than before, and the reputation had also increased exaggeratedly.

Currently, the monthly net profit of the Grand Casino, after deducting employee and security salaries, as well as other costs, was about two billion Valis.

And according to the current reputation, it probably wouldn't be long before the monthly net profit alone could easily reach several billion Valis, or even tens of billions.

The entire Hestia Familia was becoming stronger and stronger. The most important thing in all this was naturally that Liam's strength was becoming stronger and stronger.

The sphere of influence and industry he could radiate also became larger and larger with his own strength and influence.

So, he had to become stronger, to continue to grow with the fastest efficiency.

Even while taking Wien for a walk, Liam was also multitasking, using his Selfless Sword Aura to circulate within his body.

He remembered the concept of breathing techniques in some anime, so he also wanted to try to circulate the Selfless Sword Aura in his body, in coordination with a special breathing method, to make his own strength even stronger.

Taking Wien for a tour of the Grand Casino, Wien's eyes completely turned into little stars.

"Wien is so happy! This is Wien's happiest time!"

The smile on Wien's face never stopped. Because she was with Liam, everyone around her was very kind.

Liam rubbed Wien's head, "Wien, you must become stronger. Cultivate the Selfless Sword Art well.

Only with strength can you control your own destiny!"

"Mmm! Wien wants to protect Liam!"

Wien nodded seriously. Being patted on the head by Liam, she let out a comfortable purring sound.

After gaining strength, Wien, you actually see me as more important than yourself?

Liam's mood was complicated. He took Wien back to The Hearthfire Manor.

Hestia rushed out of the door and hugged Liam, "Liam! You're back!"

Liam nodded. He hadn't rested for long when a knock on the door sounded.

Eina placed a command letter in Hestia's hand.

"Lady Hestia, Mr. Liam, this is a top-secret mission from the Guild. Unlike a commission, this is compulsory, so you cannot refuse."

Liam smiled, "Have we had too few compulsory missions from the Guild?"

Eina showed a bitter smile, "Indeed, you've really worked hard."

Hestia's expression became complicated, and then she handed the mission document to Liam.

Liam read the content once, then handed it to Eina.

"Miss Eina, please help me read the content."

"Eh? Is it really okay for me to read it?" Eina was a little surprised. After a glance at Liam, she read the content out loud.

"It says on it to take the dragon girl to the twentieth floor of the Dungeon."

Liam nodded, and at the same time, secretly decided to study the language of this world well.

Otherwise, always being illiterate was really not good.

After Eina left, Liam led everyone to start preparing.

Of course, it was mainly Lili who prepared the supplies. Daphne needed to plan the details according to the general direction specified by Liam.

Liam took some time and directly sat cross-legged in meditation.

Time was not enough; he had to use every second efficiently.

Hestia saw Liam's party off from the towering Babel, then, following the hidden text of the commission letter, walked towards a certain hidden corner.

It was clearly daytime, but there was no one nearby.

It was as if some kind of magic had been used in advance to disperse or hypnotize all nearby life forms.

The surroundings were abnormally quiet. Hestia, although alone, walked over bravely.

In a certain ruin in Orario, Hestia arrived at the hidden designated location of the Guild's commission.

A figure completely hidden in a cloak appeared. It bowed to Hestia:

"First time meeting, Goddess Hestia. I apologize for the trouble of having you come here."

He was Ouranos's private mercenary, Fels, the "Sage" who had once successfully created the 'Philosopher's Stone' that could make mortals immortal.

"Are you really a mortal? Your aura is not right."

Just one glance, and Hestia found that the existence before her was not right. At least the other party did not have a human aura.

"I didn't expect that in front of a god, any disguise is futile." Fels took off his hood, and then a bare skull appeared in front of Hestia.

"This is my current state. I'm really sorry. Next, please come this way with me."

Fels bowed slightly and walked towards a hidden corner to the side.

Hestia wasn't afraid at all and just followed behind Fels, directly entering a certain magic circle.

Afterward, they drilled into the ground and entered a special secret passage, constantly moving forward...

Fels left. Hestia continued along the road and finally saw Ouranos sitting on the throne.

"Long time no see, Hestia."

"It really is you, Ouranos!"

Ouranos's hair and beard were all white. He wore a purple cloak on his upper body and was unsmiling.

"Ouranos, what on earth is that dragon girl? What exactly is happening in the Dungeon now? What exactly are you hiding?"

...

Dungeon.

Liam's group led Wien and advanced steadily. The monsters encountered on the way were all slain by Liam using his sword aura.

He looked at Wien, "Wien, do you feel bad when I kill these monsters?"

Wien shook her head, "They want to attack Liam, so they can be killed!"

"I'm relieved to hear you say that."

To be honest, Liam's distinction between these monsters was still very high.

Regardless of whether the other party was a Xenos or not, as long as they had killing intent towards him, then they could all be killed.

As long as they drew their blades against him and exposed their killing intent, then they had to be prepared to be killed by him.

Dungeon Nineteenth Floor:

A group of hornet monsters that could shoot stingers from their tails and had the sound effect of a Gatling gun approached.

The current Liam could easily cut off a mosquito's proboscis without killing it.

These giant-sized hornets, he killed them even more efficiently.

Dungeon Twentieth Floor.

Following the map in the commission letter, Liam and the others came to the undeveloped area of the twentieth floor.

Just like the hot spring before, this was also their first contact.

The surroundings were lush green tunnels, dotted with sky-blue glowing crystals.

Lili looked at the map with a puzzled expression, "Is the Guild playing a prank? There's nothing around here."

Wien walked out. She put down the hood of her red cloak and opened her ears to feel the faint singing.

Wien turned to look at Liam, "Liam, the singing is behind this stone!"

Liam took out Lust and slashed at the stone wall in front. After being infused with Selfless Sword Aura, Lust's sharpness was extremely outstanding.

And so a large hole was neatly cut in the stone wall. Liam and the others walked in through the large hole.

After walking for a few more minutes, a lizardman wearing equipment and holding a sword and a blade appeared.

There were no more glowing crystals here. The surroundings were abnormally dark. Only the rune lamp in Liam's left hand could provide a light source.

The other party first roared up at the sky, and then directly pounced towards Liam's position.

This guy was very strong, at least Lv5.

He was quite interesting as a sparring partner. Liam didn't feel any killing intent from the other party.

So, shall we spar a little?

The longsword slashed towards Liam. Liam's right hand holding Lust easily parried the other's slash.

Liam threw the rune lamp in his left hand to the group behind him, and his left hand directly took out the Sloth katana.

Lili threw out some glowing moss towards the surroundings. This just happened to reveal the dozens of monsters surrounding them.

They were all wearing equipment and didn't look very friendly.

"What is this situation? Why are the monsters wearing equipment?"

A large group of monsters rushed towards Wien's side. Although Wien was scared, she still took out the armament Liam had given her.

She had to fight too. To protect Liam, she had to stand tall no matter how scared!

Compared to Mikoto and the others, the average strength of these monsters was at least one level higher.

Apart from the leading lizardman, the other monsters were basically at least Lv2, and most were Lv3.

Liam sheathed Sloth and then suddenly drew it.

A cold white mist sword aura was suddenly released. The leading lizardman easily dodged it, but some of the monsters behind it were not so lucky.

The moment they were covered by the white mist, cold ice covered their bodies, freezing these monsters.

Liam released Triple Slash and clashed with the lizardman. His attack was easily blocked, and the other party even counter-attacked.

However, the lizardman's counterattack was met with Liam's defensive counter.

While Sloth was defending, the recoil force, wrapped in a hurricane, was suddenly released.

The lizardman was blown off balance by this hurricane.

"Raging Dragon Slash!"

A golden dragon head and a dragon's roar appeared at the same time. Liam's katana, held in a reverse grip, sent the other party flying a full several dozen meters with just one blow.

Then, Liam released Triple Slash at high speed. Sloth charged up again, and several Selfless Sword Auras mixed with vast white cold gleams froze all the remaining monsters.

"Hahahaha, it hurts so much."

The lizardman climbed up from the ruins, clutching his painful chest and laughing heartily.

"Bro, you almost killed me just now."

Liam snorted coldly, "If I hadn't sensed you had no killing intent, you'd all be dead by now."

The lizardman ran before Liam and then prostrated himself in a kowtow.

"My sincerest apologies. We just wanted to know the strength of you adventurers, and whether you would betray the dragon girl in a dangerous situation."

"Lyd, I told you. They are different."

A Siren descended beside the lizardman, Lyd. She had a beautiful face, fair skin, and an abnormally graceful torso curve.

Her arms were soft bird wings, and her legs were the lower limbs of a bird...

But just her face and figure were already a total beauty. For example, that big evil.

Her name was Rei. She had excellent flying ability. Also a Lv5 Xenos.

"Sorry, my friends wanted to see your attitude towards the dragon girl. They wanted to know what kind of person the adventurer who sheltered our compatriot was.

Whether you would abandon her in the face of danger. But seeing you so powerful, I think it's hard for her to encounter danger."

Rei also bowed to Liam and the others in apology.

These monsters surrounding Liam included magic rabbits, Sirens, griffins, and so on...
