DanMachi: Starting with a Sword Soul Template

Chapter 208: When Ottar Comes Knocking



Who did it offend, when it was a matter of mutual consent?

Should good people be held at gunpoint?

As Freya gradually approached, Ishtar panicked. She was terrified. She was constantly retreating.

"I was wrong, Freya. I didn't know you would value Liam so much.

In the future, my Familia's industry will never serve Liam again."

Freya smiled, "Actually, Liam went to the Entertainment District wearing an invisibility cloak this time.

So I understood one thing: the Entertainment District cannot exist.

I can ignore your past pranks, but not this time.

Liam must belong completely to me. I will not forgive any woman who lays a hand on him.

Not even if Liam initiated it!"

Freya's voice gradually became icy, "I will crush you!"

Freya's words brought immense psychological pressure to Ishtar, causing her to lose her reason and even run towards the top of the Familia's high tower.

She didn't run for long before Aisha arrived at the broken staircase of the high tower.

There was no longer a path forward. Looking down from the broken staircase, the height made her feel dizzy.

At this height, even if it were water below, it could still kill a person.

Not to mention the hard floor below. If she didn't use her divine power, she would probably be smashed into a pulp...

"The game is over. I'm tired of walking."

Freya continued to advance. She loved this game of cat and mouse.

She was prolonging this feeling of approaching death as much as possible, letting Ishtar constantly feel the fear of the Grim Reaper gradually drawing near.

Gods could also be killed, and then be resurrected after tens of thousands of years.

Ishtar, as a goddess, even if she had an eternal lifespan, how could she accept a waiting time of tens of thousands of years for resurrection?

She still wanted to continue enjoying the various pleasures of the lower world, such as tasting all kinds of men.

A man from the Ishtar Familia snuck up behind Freya, which made Ishtar breathe a sigh of relief.

Since that was the case, she would help her child attract the other's attention.

"Freya, I have never been close to Liam, nor have I ever used my charm ability on him.

Can't you just let me go?"

"No, I just simply want you to die!"

The man actually roared and ran over at the moment of attack.

Freya, hearing the movement behind her, turned around, and a charm directly immobilized the other party.

"Get aside!"

"Yes!"

"Is it that indulging in women leads to a decline in intelligence?"

Freya glanced at the man who had moved away, then once again slowly approached Ishtar.

Whether it was her charm ability on women or men, Freya's authority was superior to Ishtar's.

In fact, these charmed targets were still her Familia's children that she had already charmed.

"Your beauty, on what grounds is it superior to mine? Why!"

Ishtar roared hysterically at Freya. She had clearly fought with as many men as possible!

She was already a veteran of a hundred battles. Compared to Freya, who had never had any achievements, she had already completely crushed the other in terms of experience.

But why was this charm authority crushed by the other party?

On what grounds?

"What's the difference between you and me?"

"Character! What else?"

Yes, it was character.

Even when buying vegetables at the market, customers would still pick and choose the vegetables with the best appearance and freshness.

Unless it was a poor household on the verge of starvation, who would eat rotten vegetables and leftovers thrown on the ground, in the garbage heap, or in the swill bucket without being picky?

And Ishtar, compared to Freya, was like the difference between the Ganges water and the Tianshan spring water.

Ishtar's face became extremely ferocious. Her ugliness was completely exposed. Hysterical, she opened her fingers and clawed at the other's face.

She wanted to scratch this stinking face!

Anger made Ishtar's movements full of flaws. Her pounce towards Freya was easily dodged by the other.

Afterward, Freya slapped the other fiercely.

Because there was nothing behind her, Ishtar lost her balance and slipped directly from the high tower, falling towards the ground.

"I hope you'll learn your lesson in the future..."

Even with the same age/weight, appearance, and figure, one was a pure young woman, and the other was a battle-hardened young matron.

As long as they were normal men, they would be more inclined to choose the pure young woman.

Of course, there were also those who liked young matrons.

At the very least, Freya knew that Liam liked pure young women.

That was enough. No matter how bad Freya's heart was, she was still pure, clean.

A golden pillar of light appeared from Ishtar's body, enveloping her entire body.

This golden pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth was the forced repatriation.

It was not only a physical phenomenon but also represented the end of the contract between the gods and the lower world.

When a god was repatriated, they would permanently lose the qualification to return to the lower world, and their Familia would also be disbanded.

That is to say, Ishtar could never return to the surface again.

Freya only felt comfortable all over. As long as she was still in the lower world, she would never have to see Ishtar again.

This feeling was really too great. She loved it! Loved it to death.

This golden pillar of light was very dazzling and pure. Not long after the pillar of light ended, the first ray of morning sun appeared, and Orario ended the night and moved towards the light...

The territory of the Ishtar Familia, the home base, had almost all turned into ruins.

When Freya left the high tower, this high tower was also blasted by Ottar and fell to the ground.

As long as the Entertainment District is destroyed, I think Liam won't consider prostitutes anymore, right?

...

Time came to the early morning. The sky was still gray. The home base and sphere of influence of the Ishtar Familia had burned for a whole night.

Ishtar could never descend to the lower world again, and her Ishtar Familia dependants had thus lost their main god and became wandering adventurers.

Before finding a new god to serve under, their ability scores would be permanently frozen.

Liam and the others got up and started eating breakfast. Haruhime still found these delicious foods a bit incredible.

"Have I really gained my freedom? Is this really not a dream?"

Haruhime's ability score, like Ryuu's, had her previous god's Falna directly covered by a special potion.

Thus, Haruhime, like Ryuu, became a dependant of the Hestia Familia.

As for Ais, she was like Lili, through her original main god removing the Falna, and then being re-bestowed with a new Falna by Hestia.

Liam continued to eat. After the Familia's funds became abundant, he had not mistreated everyone in terms of food.

After all, adventurers were fighting with their lives. If their strength declined due to insufficient food intake, leading to accidents.

That would be really too shameful.

"Haruhime, your current strength is really too poor. After breakfast, you'll have to start special training."

The current Haruhime was only Lv1. This level basically only had the effect of amplifying teammates.

"I will work hard. Please give me your guidance."

Haruhime had only been in this camp for less than a day, but she had long been yearning for this place.

Although the Hestia Familia was not the strongest in Orario, it was the one that all new adventurers wanted to join the most.

According to the current development momentum, in a few years, it would definitely become a powerful force like the Freya and Loki Familias!

Liam sized up Haruhime. For Haruhime to improve her strength, a grimoire was indispensable.

The sources of grimoires he knew of were two in total. One from Aisha and one from Fels.

Aisha probably only had one. After all, this thing was really too rare and expensive.

Fels, if according to the original plot, should have at least twelve more.

As for why not thirteen, it was purely because he had used one before and awakened the power of the Thunderflame Qi Sea.

Because of the sword aura cultivation method he had comprehended, and not having found the so-called cultivation meridians.

So he could only rely on his whole body's blood vessels for power accumulation. So the accumulation of sword aura in the dantian as in those novels was not feasible for him.

He had placed the storage point for his sword aura at the location of his heart. Although it was very dangerous, he had also obtained a higher circulation efficiency because of it.

Liam handed over the task of training Haruhime to Ryuu Lion.

Haruhime was clearly on the path of a magician. As for Liam himself.

He only had two magics. One was Warlord's Fervor, which was a magic that increased endurance.

The other was a magic that amplified the power of his own skills and added attribute special effects.

These two magics were enough to prove that he was still on the swordsman's side. Traditional magicians were almost out of the question for him.

While Liam and his group were training at The Hearthfire Manor, Hestia left the home base with a grave expression.

"Freya is actually looking for me? What on earth does she want to say?"

A letter had suddenly appeared in Hestia's room, and it used a language that only gods could understand.

So she wasn't worried that it was fake.

"I hope she can give a reasonable explanation, otherwise I'll show her!"

The simple-minded Hestia had never thought that this was a tactic to lure the tiger out of the mountains. She just wanted to go and have a quarrel with the other party.

Before long, Hestia and Freya met in a deserted corner.

"Hestia, give Liam to me."

Freya's words had no room for negotiation, more like stating something that was bound to happen.

"What are you talking about? How could I possibly do that!"

Freya knew Hestia would do this, so she was going to play hardball!

"Hestia, I like you very much. Your ancient sacred fire is more valuable than any gold in the world.

So I respect you very much. I originally didn't want to make any crude moves.

So, give Liam to me."

"I refuse!"

How could Hestia hand over Liam? According to her personality, she would not betray her dependant in any danger.

"Liam is my important dependant, my most important child!"

"Then there's no other way. I can only take him by force."

Freya snapped her fingers, and a bolt of lightning from a clear sky rang out in the already gloomy weather.

...

The core members of the Familia, led by Ottar, arrived at The Hearthfire Manor and surrounded all the members within.

The Flaming Gold Four Warriors, Hogni, Hedin, and others stood at the main gate of The Hearthfire Manor.

Ottar took the lead and pushed open the main gate of The Hearthfire Manor, leading the group into the lawn where Liam and the others were.

"Liam, the goddess's divine will seeks you. Your fate is set!

If you do not obey, then I will strike you down!"

"Liam, run!"

Ryuu immediately gripped her weapon and attacked Ottar. However, Ottar just casually waved his hand and sent Ryuu flying.

Ottar instantly approached Liam. Ottar, who was normally Lv7 and could reach Lv8 when unleashing all his power, was ridiculously fast.

Liam instantly released Raging Dragon Slash, dodging the other's normal attack.

Is this the current strongest adventurer in Orario?

He was still Lv4 now. It seemed he could no longer hide his trump cards.

He instantly leaped into the air and stood still at a high altitude.

"Answer me, Obelisk the Tormentor!"

Liam drew a card from the card box he carried with him. Without looking at the card face, he knew what card it was.

Half of his stamina was instantly depleted at this time.

A dazzling beam of light fell from a high altitude to the ground. The incomparably massive Obelisk's figure appeared in the pillar of light.

Vast, mysterious, a god with an extremely oppressive feeling looked down on these uninvited guests.

Hedin and the others looked at this scene in shock, "What is this?"

In front of Obelisk, Hedin and the others felt as small as ants.

What on earth was going on?

Ottar had originally wanted a quick battle. Because he had underestimated his enemy, he had not caught Liam at the first moment.

And now, Ottar felt a powerful oppressive feeling from Liam's summon.

This was an opponent worthy of his full strength!

"Vana Freya!"

Ottar immediately activated his signature move. This power could give his entire body's ability scores a super-high correction.

His own Strength and Endurance were at the limit of S-rank, 999 points.

And of his five ability scores, a full four were S-rank, with only Magic being D-rank.

Such ability scores, as long as he obtained enough great feats, he could advance to Lv8.

Liam didn't know if the other party wanted to continue to improve his ability scores, or if he wanted to obtain a rarer great feat, which was why he had been stuck at Lv7.

Now, there was no time to think about the other's purpose.

With his current strength, he could only maintain Obelisk for thirty seconds at most.

He didn't even have the stamina to activate Obelisk's effect.

"Obelisk! Attack! Target, the Ottar in front of you!"

Ottar leaped into the air, gripping the black greatsword in his hand and chopping at Obelisk.

And Obelisk also swung its fist, which was bigger than a door panel. The attacks of the two sides kicked up an astonishing shockwave.

"BOOM!"

A visible distortion of light, a shockwave ripple instantly spread for hundreds of meters.

Ottar and Obelisk were simultaneously pushed back. They created two gullies on the ground.

Liam felt his stamina decline sharply again.

Can I only fight one move?

Liam's smile was a bit bitter. He was still too weak.

Even after using all his means, a Lv4 still couldn't beat an amplified Lv8 Ottar?

Ottar looked at Liam in shock. What on earth was going on with this guy?

How on earth did he master this power?

If it were him, as long as he had enough time, perhaps in the future he would be sufficient to defeat the black dragon.

No longer just driving the black dragon away, but directly defeating or even killing the black dragon!

"Liam, is this your full strength? I underestimated you!"

The hand Ottar held his greatsword with was visibly trembling. And Liam's face was also becoming paler, and soybean-sized beads of sweat were dripping onto the ground...

"I can't fight a prolonged battle. I must decide the winner in the next move!"

Liam made up his mind. The next move, he would release his strongest move!
