Multiverse DanMachi: I Joined the Chat Group with the Kevin Template Chapter 14

"Then, Ryu, I'll leave Ling Xuan to you."

"Don't worry. As long as I'm here, I absolutely won't let anything happen to Mr. Ling Xuan!"

With those words spoken.

Ling Xuan and Ryu immediately headed for the Dungeon!

Before long, the two arrived at The Babel Tower.

The spiral staircase in the great hollow leading to the Dungeon was packed with adventurers.

Ryu looked at Ling Xuan, who was strolling leisurely ahead of her, and could not help asking softly.

"By the way, Mr. Ling Xuan, are you really entering the Dungeon without any armor?"

Hearing that, Ling Xuan turned around.

He spoke as though it were nothing.

"I only became an adventurer recently, so I haven't prepared any armor yet. Besides, with Ryu here, I doubt anything will happen to me, right?"

Hearing that, Ryu nodded, understanding why Ling Xuan had not prepared any armor.

"Mm, I'll protect you, Mr. Ling Xuan!"

Chapter 18: This Guy Was Basically a Monster

Dungeon, Thirteenth Floor.

The monsters' savage roars immediately turned into wails!

After several thunderous blasts came a series of dying screams.

At that moment.

The entire Dungeon was witnessing a completely one-sided assault.

Batch after batch of monsters fell at an extraordinary speed.

Ling Xuan often needed only one or two movements before pulling the trigger.

A Hellhound or Unicorn Rabbit that had been baring its fangs one moment would be dead beneath Ling Xuan's attack the next.

Hellhounds were dog-like monsters capable of firing magical flames from their mouths. They were among the physically weaker monsters on the Middle Floors, yet their flames had caused so many deaths that Salamander Wool was a necessity for most adventurers exploring the Dungeon.

Even upgraded adventurers could very likely be reduced to ashes if struck directly.

They also possessed abnormally high resistance to fire magic.

But they were helpless against the attacks of Heavenly Fire Judgement.

Unicorn Rabbits were likewise monsters from the thirteenth floor.

They were rabbit monsters with white fur and horns.

Contrary to their cute appearance, they loved fighting and were among the weakest monsters on the Middle Floors.

A Level 1 adventurer could fend off one of them, but when they gathered as a group, they were classified as Level 2 monsters.

At that moment, the combined forces of these two kinds of monsters fell one after another beneath the assault of Heavenly Fire Judgement.

That was right...

The pair of villains, teaming up for the first time, had already displayed remarkably coordinated teamwork.

In merely a few hours, they had broken through the Upper Floors and reached the Middle Floors.

Although Ling Xuan could have done such a thing on his own.

With Ryu joining him, the process had undoubtedly sped up considerably.

Ryu's strength in the Upper Floors was practically unfair.

As a Level 4 Second Class Adventurer, clearing the Upper Floors was far too easy for her.

Often, before Ling Xuan had even finished his fight, Ryu had already cleared out all the enemies around him and quietly waited at the side for him to finish.

That was the absolute gap brought about by levels...

A brief explanation of Orario's adventurer ranking system.

In Orario, Level 1 adventurers were also called Lower Class Adventurers, and they accounted for more than half of all adventurers.

Without a powerful person leading them, the first twelve floors were the absolute limit of their activity. Going below the twelfth floor was simply courting death.

Adventurers of Level 2 and above were collectively known as Upper Class Adventurers. After accomplishing Great Deeds and ascending from Level 1, their strength underwent earth-shaking changes.

Among them, Level 2 adventurers were classified as Third Class Adventurers.

Level 3 and Level 4 adventurers were classified as Second Class Adventurers.

Level 5 and above were First Class Adventurers.

Every level was a chasm that trapped countless adventurers.

In truth, Ryu was also completely bewildered at that moment.

She had never expected Ling Xuan to possess such strength.

With that level of power, he could have easily reached the Middle Floors alone.

Even without her, Ling Xuan probably could have reached this place by himself.

She had originally intended to protect Ling Xuan properly in the Dungeon.

But now, it seemed he did not need much protection from her at all.

So she simply covered him from the side!

Surrounded by dozens of monsters, Ling Xuan continuously harvested their lives with Heavenly Fire Judgement.

Batch after batch of monsters exploded and collapsed beneath the roaring blasts.

"Woooooo—"

Hellhounds positioned at the edge of the battlefield, intending to launch sneak attacks from afar, were struck down by Ryu with a single blow before they could even reveal their intent or make a move.

Ling Xuan broke through from the front while Ryu cleared away the surrounding enemies.

"Roar!!!!"

At that moment.

A Hellhound nearby let out an enraged roar.

Perhaps because of the gap in strength between them, the Hellhound had finally been driven into a corner. It raised its lower body, lowered its upper body, and began gathering flames at close range.

In less than two seconds, large sparks burst forth from the gaps between its bared fangs, exploding toward Ling Xuan from close range.

Seeing that, Ling Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Well, damn. This was the first time I'd seen something this gutsy—actually daring to play with fire in front of someone with the Kevin Template.

Wasn't that like showing off one's skill with a broadsword before Guan Yu?

He did not even spare it a glance as he lightly pulled the trigger of Heavenly Fire Judgement in his hand.

Immediately.

Heavenly Fire Judgement unleashed terrifying flames.

"Against monsters like these, there's no need for armor yet..."

Seeing the surrounding monsters wiped out clean, Ling Xuan spoke with complete calm.

Ryu, who had finished dealing with the nearby monsters, slowly walked over. Hearing that, the corner of her mouth twitched.

"After all, ordinary people don't have a weapon like yours, or such terrifying abilities..."

The strength Ling Xuan had shown along the way had completely exceeded her imagination.

It even made her wonder whether Ling Xuan was truly a Level 1 adventurer.

"I'm really beginning to doubt whether you're truly a Level 1 adventurer, Mr. Ling Xuan."

Setting aside that equipment capable of firing flames for the moment.

As a member of Hestia's Familia, perhaps it was some high-grade weapon Hestia had specially prepared for him!

But the combat ability and experience Ling Xuan had displayed throughout their journey...

Those were simply not abilities a newcomer could possess!

Even the strength displayed by Level 2 adventurers might not be as terrifying as what Ling Xuan had shown!

Combined with those dual guns capable of firing flames...

He was absolutely capable of fighting a Level 3 adventurer!

A Level 1 adventurer being dangerous enough to threaten a Level 3 adventurer.

Who would believe that if it were told to them?

If not for the mask he could pull up to hide part of his face, Ryu feared she would be unable to maintain the cool expression she had always worn.

"Yes, genuine and guaranteed."

"May I ask how many days it has been since you became an adventurer?"

"Less than ten days, I suppose..."

Hearing that, Ryu was stunned.

"Less than ten days... and you've grown to this extent, Mr. Ling Xuan... what kind of monster are you?"

At that moment, Ryu completely did not know what to say!

Comparisons really could make a person furious. If this got out, who would believe Ling Xuan had been an adventurer for less than ten days?

Even Ryu had to marvel at how Ling Xuan's growth could no longer be described with the word genius!

He was simply a monster!

Chapter 19: Hestia: Ling Xuan Is Mine!

Orario possessed the natural treasure trove known as the Dungeon, gathering more adventurers than any other city. In turn, the arrival of adventurers brought enormous vitality to this great metropolis.

The hottest city in the world—this was the greatest praise adventurers could give Orario. As for the gods who had grown tired of their boring lives in the heavens, it was only natural for them to gather in this city to have fun.

The gods sealed away their divine powers before descending to the surface. They swore not to interfere with anything on the lower world, and all their sources of enjoyment and income had to be provided by their Familias. They only needed to sit back and enjoy the benefits.

Among the many gods and Familias, Ganesha was the god who loved banquets the most.

Orario's largest arena was managed by members of his Familia.

"Yo, brother, how long has it been since we last met? A few hundred years?"

"We met last week..."

The gods attended banquets to strengthen their networks, make new friends, or discuss matters such as their Familias jointly exploring the Dungeon.

In short, banquets were not merely about coming for the food.

Of course, there were always exceptions...

For example... Hestia.

While the other gods were exchanging greetings, Hestia had already crouched on her chair and started stuffing herself.

Although ever since she had formed a Familia, Ling Xuan had been incredibly capable and allowed her to live like a little rich woman.

She definitely would not pass up an opportunity to eat for free.

In short, they were not really here just to eat the food at the banquet.

"What a waste, such a waste...

There's so much food. We definitely won't be able to finish it all later. Should I pack some up in bags and take it home?"

Even though Ling Xuan was now fully capable of supporting both of them.

The habits Hestia had developed would not change!

At that moment, Hestia was considering whether she should pack some food in bags and bring it back for Ling Xuan.
