Danmachi: The Blind Swordsman

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

Chapter- 24

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

It is a red ant monster with four legs and two arms. It has a hard shell and has high attack and uses pheromones to attract companions in a pinch.

 Along with War Shadow, it is known as "newbie killer" for killing a lot of newbie adventurers

But thankfully for his advanced armament haki, he was able to break their shell like a cracking nutcracker.

While his advanced observation haki makes him alert all the time about monsters, especially war shadows.

Unlike last time, advanced observation haki covered more range as well as he can observe through walls directly.

"Phew~" yuno relaxed as he stepped down from the corpse of the dead killer ant.

Right now after hunting for a while, he comes to figure out their fighting pattern as well as their weak points.

But there is one thing that is bugging him even now all the war shadows he has killed none of them are as strong as the first three that were able to injure him during his first hunt together with lili.

Maybe that's because he became stronger or they were different monsters compared to this? he was not sure.

After collecting the magic stones and their drop items, he sits down and checks his template progress-

[ Name- Yuno ]

[ Current template- Blind Admiral ]

[ Template progress- 65.20% + 2.18%]

[ Abilities- Gravity, Advanced Observation Haki, Advanced Armament Haki, Advanced Conqueror Haki ]

[ Daily task- 100 push-ups, 10 km run and 1000 vertical slashes ( completed ) ]

Checking his progress, even though he came from the 1st-floor to the 7th-floor hunting monsters, he felt a little disappointed in his progress.

He wished to check his status but alas it was impossible since its language only gods and high-elf can read 

not to mention even if he is somehow able to read that language it's useless anyway since he can't see.

After thinking for a while, he stands up as he senses a horbe coming his way.

Unknown to him…

At this moment..

There is a group of 4 high-level adventurers heading towards his floor.

All four of them are beautiful women, these are the people who yuno already met once.

"Hey~hey ais aren't you excited to test out our new equipment" This is asked by a beauty who has medium-length black hair and dark green eyes as she flexes her great sword in front of her companions.

*Nod*

Right to her there is a beautiful woman with long golden-blonde hair, gold eyes, and a slender body.

She is wearing white and black battle cloth, black arm covers, and long blue boots. She wears her armour over this consisting of a head guard, breastplate, arm guards, hip guards, and knee guards.

"Don't act like a child who just got a new toy, tiona?" said a beauty who is tall with jade-coloured hair tied in a ponytail that reaches to her waist, same colour eyes, and Elf ears. 

She was wearing a green outfit with yellow borders, a white cloak over it, a black belt, a yellow sash, black leggings, and long brown boots while holding a staff.

"Ohh~ Don't be like that mama, right lefiya?" Tiona asked her last companion.

The last beauty has long golden yellow hair, round dark blue eyes, and pointy ears. 

She is wearing a rosette pink cape on top of a white shirt and a pink corset dress. A purple bow hangs at the collar as she starts at ais with heating eyes.

"Huh!" a Sudden question startled her, and she panicked as she looked towards tiona.

"I said you were also excited to test out our new equipment that's why you also come with us" tiona explained this as she thinks Lefiya wasn't able to hear her.

They are all the female members of the Loki familia main force which yuno meet in the past as hostesses of fertility with Hestia.

"Ye…y-yes ri-right rig-right" she replied while stuttering while her mind was thinking entirely something else 'I just want to go with my ais'

"See, don't you also come with us because you also can't wait to test your new staff which is personally forged by goddess Hephaestus, right Mama?" tiona said while looking at Riveria nicknamed 'Mama'.

"Nonsense, I just come to make sure you all girls don't do anything reckless while others are resting," riveria said in a calm voice as she explained to a child.

"Don't be like that mama, we were not going any deeper than the 15the the th floor, and you know it is a piece of cake for us?" tiona said outing.

"Even so, it's not good for you to bring girls to sneak here without telling anyone, especially our goddess Loki," riveria said with a scolded tone

"It's not my entire fault, they also agreed with me on this, right?" She replied in her defence while looking at the other 2 girls for backup.

But instead of helping her, they don't even look in her direction.

Seeing this, only one thought comes to her mind 'traitors!' feeling an intense stare from riveria she couldn't help but sweat.

*Clash* *Clash*

When they were roaming on the 9th floor to find the staircase to the next floor, they heard someone clashing.

"Looks like someone is fighting," tiona said as she tried to divert the situation.

Due to their high level, their senses are high enough to notice that she is not lying.

"Let's see if they need any help," tiona said e signing this excuse to slip away at a high speed from riveria

Even though riveria is high-level compared to her, she couldn't able to stop her because despite being a high-level adventurer she is a mage.

Because of that she only focuses on magic rather than physical improvements.

And compared to a brute like tiona who is Amazon and also a fighter she is considered slow.

She could only follow after while ais and Lefiya also run after her.

After the following 2 to 5 minutes they reach the location they heard sounds.

They were surprised to see the magic stones laying on the floor as they looked forward to seeing who did it.

Riveria looked at tiona who has an astonished expression on her face as she froze her place while starting blanking at something

They also followed her eyes to see something which make them very surprised.

Their breaths got struck as they were astonished to see a very handsome black-haired boy wearing a blindfold jumping while fighting killer ants and war shadows

when yuno is fighting killer ants and war shadow, suddenly 4 more killer ants come from behind.

Seeing that the situation was not good for the boy, they were ready to make a move.

But before they even make a move, something unexpected happens that makes them speechless.

*thud* *thud* *thud* *thud*

Suddenly all the monsters around the boy fall down one by one on the ground unconscious.

"Wh-what t-the he-hell ju-just hap-happened??" Tiona asked this with a trembling voice while blankly staring at the boy.

While ais, lefiya and riveria also looked at the scene with popped-out eyes.

While riveria is speechless she doesn't what just happened but she was sure that boy didn't use any type of magic.

Since she is a mage, if he uses any type of magic she should be able to sense it without any problem.

Not to mention she is a high-elf who specialises in magic.

"Maybe it is a Skill," she said as she thought of the only possibility.

After all, she knew there are geniuses like her who are born with some powerful skill.

"Skill?? Then it must be a very powerful skill!!" Tiona said this with a very excited tone while her eyes sparkled.

"Yes" riveria also agreed with her after all to be able to make multiple monsters make unconscious at the same time is something that sounds powerful
