"This monster... has targeted us!"

"No, more accurately, it's targeted you..."

Ling Xuan let out a faint laugh.

As he spoke, he stepped in front of Hestia.

"You two, take a few steps back."

With those words, he calmly positioned himself before Hestia and Ryu Lion, sheltering them behind him.

If the monster in front of them made any move, he only needed one strike to kill it with ease.

The surrounding bystanders saw this scene.

Seeing Ling Xuan's small frame facing off against the Silverback Ape, everyone could not help but picture Hero vs. Evil Dragon.

It was like a steadfast, courageous hero slaying a mighty evil dragon to protect a princess.

Of course, the Silverback Ape was not nearly as powerful as an evil dragon.

But in the eyes of the bystanders, this monster was no different from one.

For a time, though all the spectators were busy fleeing for their lives, they could not stop themselves from offering their sharp critiques!

"What's with that boy?"

"That's a Silverback Ape. It may not be as strong as a monster like the Minotaur, but it's still a Level 2 monster."

"No matter how you look at it, that boy is just a Level 1 adventurer, right? And he still dares to stand in front of others like he's some kind of hero."

"Does he even stand a chance against that monster?"

"Impossible. That boy can't stop a monster like that. He's dead for sure."

"Did beauty scramble his brains?"

The surrounding bystanders discussed it animatedly.

Since most of them were ordinary people, and even the adventurers among them were mostly just Level 1, none of them could possibly contend with such a monster.

So they had no desire to step in...

It was indeed a shame to see those two beautiful girls die like this.

But...

No matter how pretty a girl was, she was not more important than their own lives!

Thus, the people sighed as they desperately fled for their lives!

Meanwhile, Freya watched everything from the shadows.

She was not the least bit surprised by the people fleeing around them!

However, endless fury blazed in her eyes at this moment.

If someone had been standing beside her, they would definitely have noticed it.

The jealousy and frenzied possessiveness were completely undisguised.

Ling Xuan, standing in front of the two girls, also felt a trace of chill at that moment.

"This..."

Ling Xuan understood very well that this was a sign that the Goddess hiding in the dark was jealous.

But wasn't this your choice, Goddess?

If you hadn't released a monster like this, there wouldn't have been a hero-saving-beauty scene in the first place...

As Ling Xuan mused, he turned his attention to the enormous monster before him.

"ROAR!!!!"

The monster let out an enraged roar.

Then...

The Silverback Ape leaped into the air.

The next second, something shocking happened.

The ape-like monster moved nimbly between the buildings as though it were jumping from one tree to another.

Ignoring the structure of the Dungeon, it rapidly approached Ling Xuan's group from above.

"It's coming, Mr. Ling Xuan...!!!!"

Ryu Lion said tensely, quietly assuming an attacking stance at the same time.

If anything went even slightly wrong, she would strike immediately.

Even if doing so might expose her identity, there was no longer time to worry about such things.

Still, with Mr. Ling Xuan here, there should not be any problem, right?

After their previous adventure, she had already learned how terrifying Ling Xuan's strength was. Facing a monster like this should be more than easy for him.

Even so, precautions were still necessary.

So... Ryu Lion kept her attention fixed on the monster before them!

Ready to act at any moment!

Meanwhile, a nervous expression also appeared on Hestia's delicate face.

"Ling Xuan!!!"

Ling Xuan nodded.

Then he revealed a confident expression.

"Don't worry. Leave it to me."

Upon hearing those words, Hestia behind him somehow quietly relaxed.

There would be no problem. As for why...

Because Ling Xuan was a member of my familia.

Trusting one's familia was what a chief deity ought to do!

At this moment, the surrounding bystanders also showed looks of pity.

They seemed to have already seen the young-looking adventurer being torn apart by the monster.

And those two beautiful girls being slaughtered alongside him.

But just then...

All the spectators witnessed an utterly unbelievable sight.

A weapon they could not understand had somehow appeared in the young adventurer's hand.

It had to be some terrifying item, right?

Then, they did not see the boy perform any strange movements.

There was only a deafening roar.

A massive Flame Dragon appeared on the scene!

In an instant, it swallowed the monster whole!

Engulfed by the fire dragon, the monster could not help but let out a pained wail.

"ROAR ROAR ROAR ROAR ROAR ROAR—GAAAH!!!"

After a while, the monster's cries gradually faded.

The flames gradually vanished as well.

The monster's cries had disappeared, replaced by ashes scattered across the ground.

They seemed to be telling the story of what had just happened.

Telling the surrounding bystanders that this was not a dream...

At this moment, everyone present was stunned!

That terrifying Silverback Ape had been completely eliminated just like that?!

And it had been instantly killed in one move by a Level 1 adventurer???

Chapter 27: Ais: What About Me?

At this moment, everyone stood frozen in place.

The residents of Daedalus Road, who had watched Ling Xuan's battle with the Silverback Ape unfold, burst into excited cheers. They no longer hid inside their homes, instead leaning out their windows and shouting in celebration.

The adventurers, meanwhile, wore expressions of shock and disbelief.

Others might not understand, but how could they not?

Ling Xuan was a Level 1 adventurer, yet someone like him had defeated the Silverback Ape?

And he had even killed it instantly???

This was practically grinding all their common sense into the dirt!

Hestia was equally shocked!

She knew Ling Xuan was strong, but she had not expected him to deal with that Silverback Ape in a single strike!

"Hahahaha! As expected of my familia member, Ling Xuan!!!"

As she spoke, Hestia excitedly threw herself into his arms!

"Hey, hey, hey, Hestia, have some restraint. There are people watching!"

Ling Xuan's helpless voice echoed out.

On the rooftop of a house.

From a high place where she could take in the entire area around Ling Xuan's location.

Freya kept her gaze fixed on the group.

Especially when Goddess Hestia suddenly threw herself into Ling Xuan's arms.

The jealousy and possessiveness in Freya's eyes had almost solidified into something tangible.

But soon...

That possessiveness and jealousy quickly vanished without a trace.

"Fine. Hestia, I'll allow you to take a little advantage for now. I'll definitely make you repay it double in the future."

Freya muttered to herself.

At the same time, she fixed her gaze on Ling Xuan.

"How incredible... Though I could vaguely sense that you were progressing very quickly, I still didn't expect you to take down a Silverback Ape with just one strike."

After all, this monster had been carefully selected by her.

It was not something a Level 1 adventurer could handle easily.

Yet Ling Xuan had not only defeated the monster—he had killed it instantly.

What an...

As Freya thought, Ling Xuan's figure, held in Hestia's embrace, lay before her silver eyes.

That figure was so dazzling in her gaze.

"Congratulations. Your growth in strength exceeded my expectations, but... hehe, yes, I think you look very handsome."

Freya gazed passionately at Ling Xuan in Hestia's arms, narrowing her eyes.

Although she was very interested in Ling Xuan, the Hestia beside him was truly an eyesore.

But it did not matter... because Ling Xuan would certainly become hers.
