DanMachi: Starting with a Sword Soul Template

Chapter 154: The Seven Sins Forging is Complete!

Bell's mood at this moment was abnormally excited:

Mr. Liam's strength is really too great! It's said that his current adventurer level is only Lv3, but he can actually defeat two Lv5 adventurers head-on!

And it was under the siege of more than ninety adventurers of at least Lv3, defeating everyone. His idol is really amazing!

Although they became adventurers only one day apart, why is there such a big difference?

As expected, it's because Mr. Liam has astonishing talent and skills, as well as super-strong comprehension, right?

There was no shortage of spectators anywhere. The remaining thousand who had not stepped forward should be some reporters, or people who were just there to watch the fun.

Liam patiently counted, "A full 2025 people. You will be competing for the remaining twenty spots, so you have to be careful.

Here, positions are competed for.

For security team members and vice-captains, during work hours, as long as an adventurer of the same level issues a challenge, you must accept it as long as you are not injured.

You can accept a challenge at most once every hour.

Each time, the challenger must pay a challenge fee of one hundred thousand to one million Valis."

This was the pit Liam had dug for these security personnel. Want to get a salary ten times that of your peers? Then you have to bear ten times the competitive pressure.

This challenge fee would naturally be the salary Liam paid them!

Money, how could he let them get it so easily?

Too capitalist, truly too capitalist.

Liam hadn't even expected that he himself would become so "pure"!

Perhaps, this is what they mean by a man turning bad when he gets rich.

Not feeling intimidated by the full two thousand people, Liam only felt excitement upon seeing the two thousand people led by Bell.

This is how it should be!

Liam's fighting spirit was boiling at this moment!

He looked at everyone present, "The rules are still the same as before. It will only stop when only I and the last twenty people are left on the field.

Or I am defeated first, and the survivors then fight each other. Their performance will determine whether they can become security personnel."

Liam took out a Valis coin from his pocket, "The moment the coin lands, is the real beginning.

Losing your fighting ability doesn't necessarily mean you're eliminated, so you must make a contribution before you're eliminated!"

When the coin landed, a large number of adventurers immediately released a dense barrage of attacks.

After seeing Liam's ridiculous close-combat ability, everyone present had a tacit understanding, which was to absolutely not let Liam get close.

And so an exaggerated number of attacks descended from the sky: fireballs, wind blades, arrows, and so on.

When the number of enemies is large enough, even just arrows can become an extremely dangerous threat.

But, these adventurers were facing Liam.

Liam released Triple Slash in one direction, and a large number of long-range attacks were easily dodged by him.

Sending more adventurers flying into the air.

Afterward, Liam sheathed Sloth and began to infuse Selfless Sword Aura into Sloth.

A bone-chilling white mist spread out from around the scabbard, and then even enveloped Liam's entire person.

"It's Drawing Sword!"

The other adventurers present were preparing to release their attacks, but Liam's Drawing Sword charge was already complete.

Its power was only about the same as a Lv2 adventurer's, mainly to clear out the small fry among them.

Clearly being adventurers, but just because they were older, or had encountered a fatal danger and developed fear.

Whatever the reason, it had caused them to no longer explore the Dungeon.

The blades of such adventurers had become dull, and such adventurers naturally did not meet Liam's requirements.

What he needed was a group of people who had truly experienced life-and-death struggles and still dared to fight desperately!

"Is this your limit? In the face of me, you will only think of running away?"

In the process of Liam fighting these adventurers, most of the adventurers, after encountering Liam, would only instinctively feel fear, and then run away.

"But you defeated even the Lv5 Sword Princess and Shakti!"

"Heh heh, if you don't even have the courage to swing your sword at the strong, then even if you continue to adventure in the Dungeon.

How far do you think you can go?"

Some of the more outstanding people present had already seen it. The intensity of Liam's attack just now was not too excessive.

It was the intensity that a Lv2 adventurer could release.

It was just because Liam's release technique and timing were too excellent, to the extent that it was difficult for everyone present to react.

Is this the strength of Sword Soul Liam?

Bell's hands couldn't stop trembling. He didn't know if it was excitement or fear.

But the stage now was a rare opportunity. He had to challenge Liam as much as possible to see the gap in strength between them.

"Mr. Liam, please give me your guidance."

Bell came up and bowed deeply to Liam.

"Less nonsense, let's fight!"

Liam was still holding Sloth with one hand, and even proactively released Triple Slash to attack Bell.

"Clang!"

Liam's figure instantly approached Bell, and then he slashed out, directly forcing Bell's figure back seven meters.

Bell's hands couldn't help but tremble. Although he was pushed back fiercely, he had barely blocked this attack.

After pushing Bell back, Liam's figure did not continue to pursue. He then placed more of his attention on the other adventurers.

The goal of this battle was to challenge his own limits and to test out which of these people were promising talents.

Therefore, the intensity of the attacks Liam released was what a Lv2 adventurer could handle.

If they couldn't handle it, it meant those people were just small fry.

And as long as they could barely block it once, then Liam would not deliberately pursue them again.

Unless the other party proactively came to him, letting him counterattack.

Liam's figure continued to launch attacks. Thrusting Smash, Drawing Sword, Triple Slash. On the basis of slightly controlling the power, these attacks still caused astonishing destructive power.

Immediately after was compressing Selfless Sword Aura into the blade and attacking these enemies.

Numerous blades collided with the back of Liam's sword. In the dense slashes, the Sloth in Liam's hand turned into a flurry of phantoms.

Even overly tricky attacks were still discovered by Liam and then easily defended against.

There was no need to release Auto Guard, just the conventional attacks and defenses following his instincts were enough.

Bell stayed not far away. It was only at this time that his hands had recovered their combat ability.

"Is this just the tip of the iceberg of Mr. Liam's strength? The strength he's releasing now is not as high as when he fought the Sword Princess.

Just at this level, I can only barely block it with all my might?"

Bell felt the huge gap in strength between the two sides. This did not discourage him, but rather made his fighting spirit even higher.

Exhilarating!

This was Liam's current mood. One person fighting two thousand!

In the past, he had only experienced a Monster Party.

This, compared to facing such a number of adventurers, was two completely different feelings.

The attack continued, and in about three minutes.

There were only about twenty adventurers left on the field.

The remaining adventurers were either directly fleeing outside the Familia home base, or lying directly on the ground, having lost their combat ability.

Liam looked at the remaining twenty or so people, including Bell, of course.

Then he looked at his companions not far away, "Lady Hestia, and everyone. If you were to choose,

which few performed unqualifiedly?"

To avoid letting the eliminated people resent Liam's companions, Liam directly brought his companions to a very distant location.

Then they discussed it, and finally, the remaining twenty security personnel were all screened and put in place. This selection, to put it bluntly, only Shakti and the Sword Princess were somewhat challenging. As for the others, one could only say it was better than nothing.

The current Bell still had a large gap just to reach Shakti, let alone the distance between him and Liam.

Especially this expedition, Liam's goal was to raise his template to level fifty and all his ability scores to SSS in this expedition.

By the time Liam returned to the Familia home base again, it would be the time he became a Lv4 adventurer.

After a quick tidy-up, Liam took ample supplies and went directly to the Goibniu Familia home base.

Goibniu was still sleeping at this time. Upon seeing Liam's arrival, he immediately woke up with a start.

"Liam, you're here? Since you're here, let's get started quickly!"

Seeing Goibniu's sleepy but insistent on working look was a bit speechless.

"How long have you slept? Lord Goibniu."

"About two or three hours. Aiya. Let's get to work quickly. Look, the same quality metal you need, I've already prepared it all here."

Is he too expectant of his Seven Sins?

Liam also saw the various rare metals placed in the forging room. Since Goibniu was so supportive, he also decided to go all out and forge seriously.

To strive to forge the best Seven Sins.

"So, next, shall we forge Pride?"

Pride was an eight-sided Han Jian, its body thick and its shape simple and ancient.

Liam hoped that this First-Grade armament could pierce through the enemy's defense and bring the most painful damage to the enemy.

It was still the same forging idea as the previous two weapons. It was just that before forging, Goibniu demonstrated the subsequent forging process to Liam with mundane iron.

Deeply memorizing the forging process of the eight-sided Han Jian, Liam then began the full ten thousand folding and forging.

Adding powder, folding and forging, adding powder.

Countless strikes, then deep cold treatment with magic potion liquid.

Immediately after were magic shaping, blade grinding, rune etching, and so on...

Goibniu's forging process constantly appeared in his mind. In the process of forging, Liam frowned.

He instinctively felt that the Pride in his hand still had room for evolution.

Since that was the case, then he would optimize it according to his instincts.

This was the summary of Weapon Tempering and Overdrive, as well as his sixth sense. He chose to trust his own judgment.

Goibniu's eyes widened. Just as he was about to remind Liam that such a step was wrong.

His originally furrowed brow relaxed. According to Liam's current technique, it seemed that forging it down would indeed allow the overall performance of the armament to be improved again?

What outstanding talent.

Goibniu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, and then directly chose to lie down on the chair and fall asleep.

Although the noise in the forging room was very loud, Goibniu still slept very soundly.

From the beginning of forging Pride until the end, it took a full twelve hours.

The glittering golden Pride was forged by Liam.

Pride, total length one point four meters. Blade length one meter, hilt length forty centimeters, blade width four centimeters, blade thickness one centimeter, overall long and narrow.

"Is this considered a greatsword or a longsword?"

To adapt to the various environments of the Dungeon, the seven armaments, the specifications of each one were slightly changed by Liam.

After a short rest, Liam picked up the prepared food and started eating.

"There are still four weapons left, namely Envy, Wrath, Greed, Lust…"

Liam began to check the metal materials prepared by Goibniu.

"What exactly are these materials? Forget it, I should just wake up the teacher."

Goibniu was woken up by Liam. This sleep had restored his entire state to its peak.

"Liam, how is it?"

"I've already forged Pride."

"Eh? The difficulty of the magic runes is very high. You should have woken me up and let me watch from the side."

Goibniu worriedly came to Liam's side, then looked at the longsword in Liam's hand.

Eight-sided Han Jian, overall long and narrow.

Inexplicable special patterns flowed on the sword body. Instead of using the rune patterns prepared by Goibniu, it was the Selfless Sword Aura patterns that Liam had branded according to his instinct.

This was Liam directly branding the sharp attribute of his Selfless Sword Aura onto the body of the eight-sided Han Jian.

"This kind of pattern seems to also have an extremely powerful piercing effect."

Liam smiled and nodded.

To pierce armor, one naturally had to break a point with a surface. Then being overall long and narrow was very necessary.

The entire Seven Sins, besides the seven blades, also had a war hammer as a blunt weapon, meaning there were a total of eight First-Grade armaments.

Time was tight and the task was heavy. After confirming the characteristics of all the prepared materials from Goibniu, Liam once again began to forge.

Even Goibniu directly became a spectator.

"It always feels like I'm the guest? No, I have to do something too? Then I'll make the sword case and scabbards for the Seven Sins?"

Once said, he did it. Scabbards and the like were easy to make.

Goibniu didn't spend too much time to complete them. According to Liam's explanation.

The scabbard was just like a spare tire. As long as it had the basic effect of concealing aura and wrapping, it was fine.

The most important thing was the sword case.

Dripping the blood Liam had prepared in advance onto the metal, Goibniu also began to forge simultaneously.

His goal was to complete the forging of this exquisite sword case.

In the extremely high-temperature forging room, Liam and Goibniu were forging with all their might.

He didn't know how much time had passed. Liam only felt extremely hungry.

Gritting his teeth, he finished forging the last of the Seven Sins. He let out a long breath.

"I've finally finished forging all the weapons."

Goibniu handed over the food, "You are the most hardworking guy I've ever seen. Besides the weapons, I've also helped you with the sheaths, scabbards, and sword case."

Liam stood up excitedly, then saw the cool sword case Goibniu had prepared for him.

"Thank you, thank you so much."

"If you're really grateful, then come here often when you have time. This old man still has many secret moves I haven't taught you."

"Then I'll definitely come often!"

Liam nodded very seriously. This was the god of forging, Goibniu.

Besides armaments, regarding forging knowledge for armor, he was naturally also very eager to know.

The Seven Sins, a total of eight armaments, were forged!

Placing all the armaments into the sword case, Liam quickly returned to the Familia home base.
