DanMachi: Starting with a Sword Soul Template

Chapter 153: I Want to Fight a Hundred!

In the process of forging Gluttony, Liam had been in the forging room the whole time.

Therefore, he had observed Goibniu's entire forging process.

On the way back to The Hearthfire Manor, Liam was constantly replaying Goibniu's movements in his mind.

At the same time, he was also thinking, if he had been the one forging it at that time, would it have been better?

"I have already memorized the complete forging process for blades. As long as I master the forging processes for the remaining three types of weapons, it should be enough to meet my forging needs.

As for the light saber, I can only say we'll have to wait for a suitable opportunity."

But since the opportunity was rare, Liam was prepared to master all the knowledge that Goibniu was willing to teach.

As for becoming his apprentice, Liam had no psychological burden.

According to his understanding of Goibniu, the other party was not some heinous villain.

"It's almost time. I wonder how many people will come to apply this time?"

By the time Liam arrived at the lawn of The Hearthfire Manor, the number before him was a great surprise.

Wasn't this number even more exaggerated than the last recruitment?

The previous scale was already in the hundreds or thousands, and now, this number even looked like several thousand.

The key was that Liam only needed adventurers of Lv2 and above. What were those who hadn't reached Lv2 coming here for?

Hestia and the others came to Liam's side, "Liam! You're here."

"Yes, Lady Hestia, and everyone."

Liam greeted the crowd, then walked towards the applicants.

Just by walking towards the crowd, the adventurers, who were still somewhat boisterous and noisy before, immediately quieted down.

The sound of footsteps rang out unhurriedly. As his feet fell, Liam's own aura also gradually accumulated.

Finally, his aura reached its peak. Liam came onto the platform and carefully sized up everyone on the lawn.

"Hello everyone, I am Liam Moon. Adventurers who are Lv1 or not even Lv1, and even ordinary people, please leave directly now."

Liam's voice was unquestionable. Although it didn't contain any emotion, everyone present only felt an ridiculously strong aura enveloping the surroundings.

The adventurers on the lawn looked at each other. What on earth was that heart-palpitating feeling?

"Heh? Still thinking of fishing in troubled waters?"

There were simply too many adventurers who had come to apply. He didn't have the leisure to interrogate them one by one.

It was just that a few figures appeared at the very front that he found very interesting.

For example, Bell, for example, Sword Princess Ais, for example, the Ganesha Familia captain, Shakti...

"I'll give everyone one minute. Those with strength below Lv2, please leave voluntarily. Otherwise, tomorrow all of Orario will have your scandal..."

Although Liam had said that the minimum strength for the Grand Casino's security personnel was also Lv2, there were still people who held onto a glimmer of hope.

In fact, the number was a full several hundred to a thousand.

Looking at Liam's expression and aura, a full hundred or so people left directly out of guilt.

Liam continued to survey the crowd. Currently, just by spreading his perception, he could roughly judge the strength of the other party.

"Time's about up. Ten, nine, eight..."

As Liam began to count down, another two hundred or so people hurriedly ran off the lawn.

The security salary Liam offered was simply too exaggerated, even directly exceeding the standard of the entire Orario's industry by ten times!

So, many people wanted to come and try their luck.

Liam grumbled in his heart. The reason he did this was naturally because their Familia's foundation was insufficient.

This time, for the security work, he was preparing for the more powerful Familias. As long as they came, he would give at least one spot.

A whole Grand Casino would need at least sixty security personnel in the early stages. Later on, it could be strengthened to a full one hundred.

Only by achieving a community of interests could their Familia's Grand Casino continue to operate steadily.

Even if they encountered trouble, Liam and his group wouldn't have to show up. The other Familias would directly carry out armed expulsion.

With the end of the countdown, Liam smiled.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, an astonishing sword momentum spread towards all the applicants on the lawn.

"What is this?"

Bell immediately felt an unimaginable sword momentum.

It was like when a person faces an angry tiger, their heart, pupils, sweat glands, etc., will all react involuntarily.

Sword Princess Ais's face was expressionless, but in her heart, she felt an even greater desire for Liam.

She had to become stronger. Liam had been an adventurer for such a short time, yet his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds.

She was anxious. She had to become stronger!

So, Ais was determined to get the position of vice-captain this time! She had to get Liam's secret to becoming stronger!

The current Liam was releasing his sword momentum, and was releasing it indiscriminately towards all the applicants on the lawn.

Therefore, some of the applicants on the lawn with strength below Lv2 directly had their legs go weak and knelt on the ground.

"What on earth is this? Can he do this just by relying on his aura?"

Shakti looked at Liam in shock, "This is sword momentum?"

However, Liam still didn't let them go. An even more exaggerated aura spread towards all the applicants.

Then, many adventurers with whitened eyes and foaming at the mouth appeared on the lawn.

It was like when an ordinary person encounters something extremely terrifying, it's possible to be scared to death.

Liam's current strength could even slay a two-headed dragon. A tiger could scare a person to death.

With his current strength, knocking out a few adventurers below Lv2, that's very reasonable, right?

Liam clapped his hands, "These fainted applicants, I've only given them a slight punishment. Don't worry, their lives are not in danger.

If there is, then I'm really sorry.

So, shall we proceed with the recruitment? This time, I want to recruit two vice-captains and fifty security team members."

"All adventurers of Lv3 and above, please step forward now!"

Currently, the number of people still standing on the lawn was close to three thousand.

Among them, a full one hundred people approached Liam's position.

Liam sized up everyone present with great satisfaction. He spoke again, "The rest of you, please take thirty steps back."

While the remaining adventurers were retreating, Liam drew the sword, Sloth, and pointed it at the crowd with the back of the blade.

"Next is 1 vs 100, until only myself and two other adventurers are left."

"Whoa..."

Liam's words were extremely arrogant. Everyone present looked on with incredulous eyes.

Especially since among them, there were two Lv5 existences, namely Shakti and Ais.

Even Ais, her expressionless face showed a look of surprise.

"Liam, are you joking?"

Hearing Ais speak, Liam shook his head.

Publicly displaying his strength was something Liam had also considered deeply.

Why did the Adventurer's Guild issue him a compulsory Familia expedition again? Naturally, because his comprehensive strength was not enough.

And the things he did were really too much.

So, just by showing enough strength, wouldn't that be fine?

With this thought, Liam had chosen this battle.

Before this Familia expedition, Liam could fight back and forth with Takemikazuchi. Of course, that was with God Takemikazuchi not using his divine power.

And now, with his ability scores greatly updated, and having obtained the highest-grade First-Grade armament.

Liam was very curious to know to what extent his strength had improved.

Two Lv5 adventurers, plus more than ninety adventurers of at least Lv3.

This intensity did not make Liam feel fear. On the contrary, he was even more fired up.

Shakti frowned and looked at Liam, "You're being so overconfident? Is it really okay?"

Liam laughed self-deprecatingly, "If I can't win, I'll use both weapons at the same time."

Bell looked at this scene excitedly. According to what his own goddess had said, every time Liam upgraded, he would raise his ability scores to their theoretical limits before upgrading.

Therefore, Bell also wanted to do so. So currently, he hadn't rushed to break through to Lv3.

"I really want to fight against Mr. Liam once."

Yes, Bell longed to catch up to Liam, longed to fight with Liam.

"Then let's begin."

Liam placed Sloth into its scabbard. A majestic Selfless Sword Aura accumulated at an extremely fast speed.

Upon seeing this iconic action, Shakti immediately became defensive.

Sword Princess Ais even directly distanced herself from Liam's position.

Then, the unbelievably fast Selfless Sword Aura spread out from in front of Liam towards the surroundings.

The slashed Selfless Sword Aura was adjusted by Liam into a cylindrical-shaped slashing gas.

It was as if Liam had directly slashed out a gaseous hemp rope half a finger thick.

The slash was accompanied by a vast white cold air, and its speed was still abnormally swift.

Just one move sent a full forty or fifty adventurers flying. After hitting these adventurers, it immediately released a large amount of freezing air, stunning them.

"All those sent flying are disqualified!"

After Liam finished speaking, he once again took Sloth in one hand and approached the crowd at high speed.

Shakti and Ais also came to Liam's side at this time.

Facing the encirclement of these two, Liam was also not flustered at all.

Immediately after, he jumped up directly. In mid-air, his feet erupted with Selfless Sword Aura.

"BOOM!"

It was as if a cannonball had exploded in mid-air. Liam's figure made an astonishing change of direction in mid-air.

Ais was directly stunned. What on earth was this technique?

Could it be some new skill again?

Leaving the encirclement of the two, Liam directly released Triple Slash in the air.

Selfless Sword Aura was imbued on the blade of Sloth, and then Liam's figure fell into the remaining adventurers.

"BOOM!"

Liam's figure smashed into the ground, kicking up a large amount of dirt and dust.

Then they only saw a large amount of white cold mist suddenly spread out towards the surroundings.

Liam's figure became abnormally blurry, directly weaving through the remaining numerous adventurers.

Most of the adventurers couldn't withstand a single move from Liam. And those who could only be defeated by Liam in two moves were barely remembered by Liam.

Ais and Shakti approached Liam again.

This time, Liam also wanted to see how strong they really were.

"Then, let's try Thrusting Dragon-Slaying Slash!"

A golden dragon head appeared in front of Liam, and his movement speed increased dramatically.

And the golden dragon head sword aura in front of him opened its dragon's mouth and let out a deafening dragon roar.

The figures approaching Liam from two directions were both locked onto by Liam.

Liam's speed increased again. Amidst the resounding dragon cry, he himself seemed to have turned into a dragon-shaped meteor.

Then he collided at high speed with Shakti and Sword Princess Ais.

Because it was just to test the limits of the two, Liam only used five-tenths of his strength.

The powerful Thrusting Dragon-Slaying Slash directly knocked Shakti and Ais back six or seven meters.

In just a dozen seconds, in the entire battlefield, only Liam, Ais, and Shakti were left.

And Ais and Shakti, the hands they held their weapons with were still constantly trembling.

Ais's pupils trembled violently:

This Liam has become stronger again! And the extent of his strengthening is actually so exaggerated!

Liam walked up to Ais and Shakti, "Are you two willing to be my vice-captains?

If you are, part-time or full-time is fine."

Considering their own situations, part-time should be the limit.

"For part-time, it's enough to come to the casino for 120 hours a month. For full-time, it's 240 hours a month.

Of course, if a major situation occurs, as long as you're not on a Dungeon training, you should provide support as much as possible.

When there's no work, you can eat and drink for free in the first-floor hall. There's even a free training room, bathhouse, and lounge for you to use."

The previous Grand Casino only had two Lv4 adventurers. And now Liam would have two Lv5 adventurers!

"Then can I often find you for sparring in the future?"

Ais looked at Liam seriously. Although money was very important to Ais, knowing Liam's secret to becoming stronger was even more important.

Even if she couldn't know, as long as she could continue to improve, that was fine too!

Ordinary people have a limit when it comes to talent. Ais didn't want to enter a state of limit so early.

She wanted to become stronger, stronger, and stronger!

"You can, as long as I'm free!"

Shakti looked at Liam, "I'm planning to be a part-time vice-captain. Please take care of me in the future."

Alright, the two vice-captains have been recruited.

Liam came before the one hundred adventurers who had just been defeated.

"Among you here, there are thirty spots to become security team members. If you're willing, you can stay directly.

Oh right, those fifty or so adventurers who couldn't even dodge Drawing Sword, don't even consider being a security team member this time. Just go back."

One by one, the adventurers, clutching their frostbitten bodies, had originally wanted to muddle through. Now their faces were bitter, full of helplessness.

What Liam wanted were elites, or rather, potential stocks, not trash that was piled up by relying on the number of kills.

When Liam released Drawing Sword before, he had deliberately shown a clear attack wind-up.

With Lv3 dynamic vision bonus, if they still couldn't dodge, then it could only mean their danger perception was not enough.

And, they had been away from Dungeon adventuring for a period of time.

Thinking of relying on the Grand Casino for retirement?

Even if there was such a position, Liam was only prepared to give it to the future internal members of his own Familia.

Since there was a salary ten times higher than the peers, there was naturally a competitive pressure at least several times higher than the peers.

"Then next is the application for the remaining security team members! All adventurers of Lv2 and above who are willing to become security team members, step forward!"

And so a full two thousand adventurers, including Bell, walked out...
