Is It Wrong For Me To Start With Three Skills In Danmachi ?!

Without magic, without skills, relying only on technique and raw stats, yet this strong!

---------------------------------

But ah, facing a powerful enemy, Fron's blood once again burned hot!

"This look…"

The burly man named Ottar locked eyes with Fron.

From the other's gaze, he felt a blazing, passionate fighting spirit, an unyielding will from the weak shouting at the strong. He… had the qualifications to become a hero!

"[Loki Familia], [Flame Demon], Fron Argon, Lv.5."

"[Freya Familia], [King], Ottar, Lv.7."

"Come fight!!!!!!"

In a tone full of burning passion, Fron shouted out loud!

"Not bad, you're a worthy opponent!"

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

In just an instant, Fron pushed his ability values to the limit. The staff in his hand blurred into afterimages as he swung it with all his might!

But the crisp ringing sounds, and the hard resistance transmitted from the staff, foretold that his swift attacks were completely defended by the enemy.

Not only that, no matter what techniques Fron tried to unleash, his staff was flipped aside easily by Ottar's great sword. At the same time, Ottar's counterattacks broke through Fron's defensive circle more than once, leaving thin scratches on Fron's special cloak.

"So strong."

That relentless countering, refined technique, and overwhelming presence from within, so this was the city's strongest.

"Again!"

Sliding his left foot back, Fron bent his body like a drawn bow and charged forward with a low shout!

This time, he unleashed all his skills and strategies without reservation. Yet Ottar still did not retreat a single step!

Against Fron, a Lv.5, Ottar completely defended against the furious assault in close-quarters combat, even countering with ease.

As the battle went on, this situation became more and more frequent. Suddenly, a flicker of surprise crossed Fron's golden eyes, as if he realized something.

'I thought I was the only one learning from this guy's techniques and experience… but this guy is learning from me as well! Truly a monster!'

Clang…

After retreating again by borrowing force, Fron let out a deep breath, his gaze turning serious.

"Not enough, not enough, still not enough, only this much? Flame Demon!!!!!!!!!"

For some reason, perhaps thinking of the goddess he admired and adored, or because of the words used to evaluate him, Ottar's whole being also ignited!

Boom!, a deafening impact resounded, sending Fron's entire body flying back.

He suddenly raised his head, golden eyes swirling with azure rings, all his focus locked on this unprecedentedly powerful enemy.

'So strong, no, too strong! Whether in ability values or technique, he's at the absolute peak, without any weakness. Just standing there, he gives me the oppressive feeling of facing a towering mountain.'

'So this is the strength of the city's strongest adventurer? Even in his normal state, he's not someone I can handle right now. But… fighting him lets me learn so much!'

"Fron? What happened?"

His companions, arriving a step too late, rushed to Fron's side. They had heard the sounds of battle from afar and thought something had happened to him, which was why they were so anxious.

"Hey, Tione, Tiona, Bete."

Tiona calmly observed the surroundings, and then… the man with overwhelming presence naturally entered her sight.

"That's… Freya Familia's King!"

Bete also bared his fangs, even pulling his hands out of his pockets, something he rarely did.

Because in this city, no one dared underestimate him, the strongest adventurer of Orario!

"Why are you here!"

"Tiona, Tione, Bete, fall back."

"What? He's Lv.7… wait, don't tell me you, "

"Oh, Ottar, huh. So the abnormal situation here is your doing?"

"Finn, hmph. I advise you [Loki Familia] not to meddle in matters concerning that lady."

"You mean… [Freya Familia] wants to clash with [Loki Familia]?"

"…"

Of course, Ottar couldn't declare war on behalf of his familia. That was not his goddess's intent.

"Alright, Finn, leave this to me. What you're curious about is just ahead. This man is mine now, no problem with that, right?"

Fron spun his spear, narrowed his eyes, and smiled as he stared straight at Ottar, suddenly interrupting their exchange.

"…Fron, you…"

"Finn, leave it to him. Don't forget…"

Finn instantly understood what Riveria's words implied. To battle Ottar, such a rare opportunity for learning wasn't something that came often. Especially for Fron, who possessed the [Reader] skill, Ottar was practically a walking experience chest.

"Alright, then let's check things out ahead."

Seeing the [Loki Familia] members all rush forward, Ottar felt that staying here no longer had much meaning.

"Don't rush off. It's not easy finding a worthy opponent, right? Especially with your current state. So, how about it, continue?"

"Provoking me with words? I didn't expect the famed [Flame Demon] to use petty tricks."

"But I can see the real answer in your eyes."

"Hmph!" Their clash began again.

The staff thrust upward at a tricky angle, but Ottar easily sidestepped it and swung down the great sword resting on his shoulder in a sweeping strike.

Clang!

Fron twisted his wrist, blocking head-on with his spear, and drove his knee toward Ottar's lower body.

"Finn's move, huh? You learned it decently."

"No, just a part of it."

Ottar's unused right hand suddenly caught Fron's knee strike. Blue veins bulged across the back of his hand as a massive force surged from him. Fron's expression shifted, quickly retreating to gain distance.

"Not bad, interesting."

"This is just the beginning."

"Hah!" With a stomp of his left foot, Fron blurred and once again charged forward!
