DanMachi: Starting with a Sword Soul Template

Chapter 163: Awakening as a Sword Saint, Mastering Extreme Ghost Sword Art

Eina handed tea to everyone in the room, glancing with some surprise at Sword Princess Ais behind Liam.

Sword Princess Ais, for what reason did she actually start exploring in a team with Liam and the others?

Of course, it was very normal to conduct a joint exploration during a Familia expedition.

As the number of floors in the expedition increased, the Dungeon would become more and more dangerous, and the strength of the monsters inside would increase to an abnormally powerful degree.

A joint team exploration was naturally understandable.

Especially this time, the Adventurer's Guild had even sent Liam and the others on a near-suicidal mission to the thirty-sixth floor.

But Liam and his group actually did it!

"You've worked hard on the Dungeon expedition. Now, have a good rest, Captain Liam, and all you ladies."

Liam waved his hand, "I came this time mainly for a few things.

First: We found a hot spring on the twentieth floor of the Dungeon, which can effectively relieve fatigue. However, there are some monsters inside that look like garlic.

And they can release a body fluid that corrodes clothes.

Second, the Hestia Familia, during its expedition exploration, reached the thirty-seventh floor of the Dungeon.

Third, I solo-killed the floor lord, Udaeus. And, I want to see your president, Ouranos."

Ouranos.

The main god who governed the "Adventurer's Guild." He had some friendship with the "Zeus Familia" in the past. The first god to bring the divine Falna to the lower world.

He spent his years in the underground altar of the Guild, praying to the Dungeon. With his strong divine might, he suppressed the Dungeon, preventing monsters from frequently entering and exiting the surface as they did in the 'ancient' times. He was known as the 'Founding God of Orario'.

Eina looked at Liam with a troubled expression, "I'm really sorry. You know it too. Lord Ouranos.

He stays in the Dungeon all year round and basically doesn't get involved in any of the adventurers' affairs.

So the actual leader of the Guild is the manager, Royman Mardeel."

Him.

Liam thought of this guy. Royman, this guy was an elf, and he was very discriminatory towards half-elves. He spent money like water and lived a debauched life.

However, this guy was relatively well-behaved when he played at his Grand Casino, so Liam hadn't thought of dealing with him.

To solve Ryuu Lion's problem once and for all, he had to meet this guy Royman!

"Alright then, Miss Eina. Please help me make an appointment with Manager Royman. I have something to discuss with him."

Fame, power, force, influence, and so on.

Only after having sufficient force could one stably radiate in other directions, and not become a leek easily reaped by a sickle.

Liam looked at Lili, "Lili and everyone, let's put our materials here and let Miss Eina and her colleagues handle them?"

"Yes!"

Lili, as well as the others present, respectively placed the rare materials they had obtained on the ground.

This expedition, the harvest was really very good. Even more generous than the reward from the last expedition.

Eina couldn't help but cover her mouth, her eyes wide.

"My goodness, how can there be so much? I can't handle it all by myself.

Mr. Liam, please wait a moment. I'll call a few more people over to help you record and settle the accounts."

The ground was a mess of various dropped items and materials. Eina hurriedly left the VIP room.

In a short while, a full four Guild girls walked in.

Then they began to handle it impartially, starting to settle the accounts for these materials with the fastest efficiency.

"A rough calculation, the total of these materials on the ground will not be less than two hundred million Valis. If you don't mind the time, with some management, it can approach three hundred million."

Eina then approached Liam, "Do you want to sell this material in your hand? Just this piece of material alone, the market price will not be less than three hundred million Valis."

Liam took the drop settlement list made by the Guild staff from Eina's hand.

After confirming that there were no problems with the quantity and value estimate on it,

Liam shook his head, "This is my spoil of war from defeating Udaeus. Our Familia is not short of money now.

So, it will naturally be kept in the Familia as forging material."

Eina smiled, "Congratulations, Liam. To have achieved so much in such a short time."

"I can only say my luck was very good."

After leaving the Guild, Ais also said goodbye to Liam.

Afterward, Liam led everyone back to The Hearthfire Manor.

After being separated for a while, Hestia, seeing Liam again, had an excited look on her face.

And so, she couldn't help but throw herself into Liam's arms.

"Liam! You're finally back? Let me see quickly, are you injured? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"

Liam rubbed the young woman's head, "No, I'm fine."

Although the other party had a long lifespan, the goddess's psychological age was really that of a young girl.

This was also one of the reasons Liam liked her.

To make such a goddess happy, he also had to become stronger even faster.

After a moment of warmth with Liam, Goddess Hestia suddenly thought of something, and then a brilliant smile appeared on her face.

"Liam, the Goibniu Familia sent over a pile of things. They said it's the armament you ordered, a full sixteen pieces."

Liam immediately felt his heart beat faster.

They've really arrived!

Trying his best to suppress his excitement, Liam followed Hestia to the Familia's storage room.

A full sixteen boxes were just sitting there.

"These are all your things, so I've been holding back my curiosity until now. Shall we look together?"

Liam nodded, impatiently opening the sixteen boxes one by one.

The young women following behind Liam also gathered around at this time.

Greatswords, blunt weapons, tachis, short swords. The four types of weapons added up to exactly sixteen blades.

Each armament had inscription patterns completely different from magic runes.

This was an exclusive sword aura inscription that only Liam could activate.

Mikoto was stunned. She had never seen such a magnificent display of armaments.

So many First-Grade armaments, just placed together like this?

Such a magnificent shape, such a powerful energy fluctuation. Armaments like works of art, they actually appeared just like that!

Lili couldn't stop drooling. The appearance of these armaments was really too beautiful.

"Captain, are they all soul-bound equipment?"

"Yes. Only I can use these pieces of equipment normally. If you use them, the effect is similar to using a training wooden sword.

You can't cut or pierce objects."

Liam's palm condensed with Selfless Sword Aura, and he touched these armaments one by one.

After picking up each armament and swinging it once.

At this time, his Sword Soul template sent a reminder that the awakening quest was complete.

It was just that he still hadn't awakened as a Sword Soul.

The skills after awakening still hadn't appeared. So, he still needed to update his adventurer template.

"How are these armaments?"

Hestia looked at Liam curiously. She could only see that these weapons were of a high grade, but she didn't know if Liam found them easy to use.

"Very good, I like them all very much!"

Liam nodded seriously, "Then, please update my ability scores for me, Lady Goddess."

"No problem!"

After parting with the group, Hestia led Liam to the bedroom.

Then Liam lay趴 (face down/prone) on the sofa. Hestia sat on his back, pricked her finger with a silver needle, and then dripped the blood onto it.

And so, a ball of white light flickered on Liam's back, followed by a large string of white text constantly flashing.

Liam Moon

Lv3

Strength: S903 → SSS1299 | Endurance: S908 → SSS1299 | Dexterity: A996 → SSS1296 | Agility: A886 → SSS1295 | Magic: A898 → SSS1298

Development Ability: Sword Saint

Magic: Warlord's Fervor

Skills: Sword Soul Power, Homicidal Intent Perception, Abnormal Resistance

Great Feat: During a Dungeon expedition, solo-killed the 37th-floor lord—Udaeus.

Although she had a preliminary expectation, after seeing the attributes that were extremely close to the theoretical limit again.

Hestia was once again so shocked she couldn't speak.

Just what kind of battle had Liam gone through again to possess such exaggerated abilities?

She completely couldn't figure it out.

As a goddess, after clarifying Liam's will to advance, all she could do was support him unconditionally.

"Liam, all your ability scores are infinitely close to their maximum values, and they are all SSS-grade.

So, shall I perform the level sublimation for you now?"

"Okay! I'll have to trouble you, Lady Goddess."

"To be able to really help you, I'm very happy!"

Hestia smiled and placed her hand on Liam's back, then seriously performed the ability sublimation for Liam.

A white light covered Liam's back...

"Liam, you have three development abilities: Sword Saint, Tyrant, and Sword Shadow. How do you want to choose?"

Liam was stunned. This was something he had never experienced before.

It was just that since he had the Sword Soul template, the main direction of his development ability was naturally the Sword Soul branch.

And Sword Shadow was another class of the Ghost Swordsman.

To concentrate on one point and reach the pinnacle was what Liam needed to consider most at the moment.

Just the skills of the Sword Soul class alone were already enough for Liam to concentrate on cultivating.

"Sword Saint!"

Liam didn't hesitate at all and directly told her the branch he had long prepared for.

"Okay!"

Hestia handed the adventurer's ability score data on Liam's back to him.

Liam picked up the cowhide paper and looked at it.

Liam Moon

Lv4

Strength: SSS1299 → i0 | Endurance: SSS1299 → i0 | Dexterity: SSS1296 → i0 | Agility: SSS1295 → i0 | Magic: SSS1298 → i0

Development Ability: Sword Saint

Magic: Warlord's Fervor

Skills: Sword Soul Power, Homicidal Intent Perception, Abnormal Resistance, Sword Saint's Power

Great Feat: During a Dungeon expedition, solo-killed the 37th-floor lord—Udaeus.

Just like the previous level sublimation, his ability scores would reset to their initial levels, but these ability scores had not disappeared.

They had all transformed into the adventurer's latent potential. When needed, this potential would erupt and play an important role.

After the adventurer level sublimation, Liam's Sword Soul template also sent a notification sound.

"Sword Soul Template"

"Liam Moon, Level: Lv50, Class: Sword Saint"

"Skills to be learned: Extreme Ghost Sword Art (Tempest Style), Extreme Ghost Sword Art (Iron-Slicing Style)"

"Extreme Ghost Sword Art (Tempest Style)"

"Level Requirement: 50"

"Cost: 50 SP"

"Skill Effect: 1. Can store up to 24 soul-bound weapons in the Selfless Sword Domain.

2. Throws out twenty-four weapons to form a sword aura domain. Grabs weapons in sequence to perform high-speed slashes, with the final slash being an upward slash.

After forming the sword aura domain, it will knock up the target and forcibly apply a sword aura space stasis.

And inflict a tempest-style sword aura attack on the enemy targets within.

By accelerating stamina consumption, the attack frequency and power can be increased."

"Extreme Ghost Sword Art (Iron-Slicing Style)"

"Level Requirement: 50"

"Cost: 30 SP"

"Passive Skill Effect: Listen to the breath of all things, nothing cannot be cut."

Seeing these two skills, Liam's mood became excited.

This was the Sword Saint he had been longing for!

Just seeing the description above, Liam was already excited.

He really wanted to find an opportunity, grab someone, and string them up for a good whipping!

Of course, it would be best if some mindless person rushed up right now, letting him have a scene of face-slapping.

And if he remembered correctly, the effect description of these two skills was different from that in DNF.

He remembered that Iron-Slicing Style should be this:

Cultivating Ghost Sword Art to its ultimate, increases basic attack power and skill attack power.

Of course, he was more satisfied with the current one. The Bige looked much higher.

And, Tempest Style solved the problem of him being unable to carry too many weapons.

So, he directly spent eighty SP to master both of these skills.

If not for the fact that he could only learn one level now, he wished he could spend all his extra SP on this.

In front of Hestia, Liam opened his left hand. A vortex appeared in the palm of his pale left hand.

Then the eighteen weapons on the ground were all sucked into it.

Hestia looked at this scene in shock, "My god, Liam actually awakened a space-type development ability."

"This has restrictive conditions."

Liam spread his hands helplessly, "Currently, I can only take in soul-bound armaments, and they must be blade-type weapons."

He didn't know what was going on, but anyway, the current Liam had an extra Selfless Sword Domain.

In Liam's mind, he could only see a patch of darkness there. After taking in the eighteen weapons, the figures of these armaments immediately appeared in the darkness.

"I see. Then I definitely won't tell anyone!"

Hestia covered her mouth seriously, "I definitely won't tell anyone."

Liam rubbed her head, "Actually, we are already very powerful now. It's fine for all of Orario to know what you know."

It was the same sentence. As long as the Sword Soul template was not exposed, everything else could be exposed.

Even his identity as a person from another world.

Even gods existed in this world, so what was a small person from another world?

Liam and Hestia came out of the room. Mikoto and the others also hurriedly gathered around.

"Captain, how did your strength improve?"

"I leveled up. I'm Lv4 now."

Hearing that Liam had indeed leveled up by one, Mikoto, Daphne, Cassandra, Lili, and even Hestia, who already knew the information, all laughed happily.

Having such a group of people who were genuinely happy for him, Liam was very happy.

Subsequently, he glanced at Hestia, "Lady Goddess, you see, can you use a bottle or something to store your blood?

This way, you don't have to prick your finger every time you update ability scores."

Hestia's eyes lit up, and finally, she nodded with a smile, "Okay, you're so smart, Liam!"
