Lars was currently in the hostess of fertility but he wasn't relaxed at all.
Why? Because Argana and Bache was right in front of them.
Argana was staring at him like a predator and Bache just ate like nothing was wrong.
"Nice to meet you, we're new members of the Loki familia." Argana grinned.
"I see..." Lars looked at Loki and he gestured to cut them off because they're trouble.
And Loki mouthed out that they would lose out on the fun if she did that.
Because of course she already knew they were trouble. Level 5's from Telskyura?
That only means that they had a mission from Kali. And now that Loki saw who their target was, she wanted to have some fun.
'Hmph, trying to steal my Ais. Have fun in dealing with these crazy bitches.' Loki grinned at him.
Lars resisted to groan. Tiona and Tione glared at the other amazons and Airmid was ready for a scrap as well.
And she was more than ready, being a maxed out level 3 that just leveled up to 4.
She's even comparable to level 5's that don't have a lot of stats raised before leveling up.
"Argana, staring is rude here." Bache chided her sister.
She might be afraid of the crazy bitch, but in Orario, she's pretty safe.
And with Kali's rule that her amazons can go anywhere they think they'll be stronger, she can just not return to Telskyura.
"I just couldn't resist you see? You're pretty strong, aren't you?" Argana asked him.
Bete just blinked dumbly. Argana beat the ever living shit out of him after all.
Being an ass would never work on an amazon. Especially from Telskyura. And she almost crippled him for trying to be all macho against them.
He was bedridden for a week. And Argana rawdogged him so badly that he doesn't even wanna talk around them.
Bete gritted his teeth, looking at Lars in confusion, shock, and anger.
"You'd know that already, no need to play games Argana. After all, I blew you away like you were nothing." Lars tried to taunt her.
The Loki familia tensed up as they thought they would immediately have a death match.
But surprisingly, Argana nodded and the executives of the familia were shocked once again.
"That's right, you could've killed me back then. What a shame, I would've loved to be killed by a strong warrior." Argana affirmed.
"Wait, what?" Riveria didn't understand how a level 5 can be killed by Lars.
She knew that he wasn't normal by any means. Thinking that he could bypass levels.
But Riveria thought that he could just match level 3's in stats and is godlike in fighting.
After all, he took down the goliath by his lonesome according to Ais. And she never lies.
"He froze a large section of Melen's lake with a touch of his hand, I won't forget that too." Bache glared at him.
He blamed it on then after all. "You have grand magic?" Finn asked him with his eyes wide open.
"You could say that, trade secret of course." Lars shushed them and they went quiet.
"I've already asked you of this. But won't you join the Loki familia?" Loki asked him.
"Rejected." Lars refused immediately. "Even if I show you this?" Loki pulled down her crop top a bit.
Lars deadpanned at her. "Loki... You do know that you don't have a cleavage."
"Tche, I thought my godly charms would work on you." She clicked her tongue.
"Lars, should we really just let them be?" Tiona whispered to him.
"It's fine, this isn't Telskyura. They will have to abide the law here, somewhat." Lars already knows that the 1st class adventurers are like big time ceo's.
They are simply not affected by the law. Level 5's are so rare and strong that you can call them chosen ones or something.
And the guild will of course overlook some crimes in order to appease them.
Nay, overlook a lot actually. Because they are the city's strongest assets.
Nuclear bombs that are deterrents for wars. There are even entire countries that don't have them.
And their numbers indicate the strength of a nation.
"I look forward to fighting you again, Lars." Argana licked her lips and he shuddered.
'I feel like I'm in danger... But not that kind of danger.' Lars had a bad feeling.
"See ya!" Lars shuddered and he left the area with his group immediately.
"You spooked him, Argana." Ais pouted at her and Argana laughed.
"Hoh? It seems that you're vying for Tiona and Tione's mate, eh? This will be fun." Argana smirked.
Bache sighed and she felt a bit bad for Lars. Though she was curious about him.
__37th Floor__
Lars was currently looking for a nice challenge.
And being at the strength of a maxed out level 4. Albeit lacking the power boost that level ups give, he looked to a worthy monster rex for a fight.
It was the Udaeus, the size of the goliath. It's a black skeleton without legs, floating around.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Lars was attempting it solo of course.
And the monster rex took out a black flamberge sword.
"Hoh? You compensating with that thing?" Lars insulted it and the skeleton's eye sockets seem to glow brighter.
"Hit a nerve? Come on, bonejangles. Let's get groovy." Lars danced and the monster rex released a roar infused with mana.
The sword it had on hand was covered in a black aura.
Udaeus swung it at breakneck speeds and Lars jumped, dodging it with a hair's breadth.
Grinning, he raised his palm. "Ravage; urgh!" Lars was about to use his magic.
But like Dante, he suddenly got skewered by black bones that erupted from the ground.
"Fuck, I deserved that." He forgot that it could control the area around it and spawn black bones.
He ignores his wounds and they stopped bleeding pretty much immediately.
"You're putting up quite a fight right at the get go." Lars smirked at the monster rex.
It didn't let up though, swinging its huged sword around with the strength of a high level 6.
And it also spawned bones all around him. "Ravage; Bastion." He created walls of steel.
The bones crashed onto it, penetrating about halfway through it almost immediately.
But it already bought enough time. "Ravage; Conjugate, Gale." He started using combinations.
A solid piece of rock the size of Udaeus' head formed above them and gale force winds launched it towards the skeleton.
The monster roared and slashed it with its sword that was coated by a malicious aura.
Its blade cracked, but it held on as the giant boulder was split in two.
With a roar infused with magic, it started summoning skeletons.
"Spartoi, huh? I guess I can have a little fun with them." Lars rolled his shoulders.
"Ravage; Crescent moon." Lars focused his mana and the air seemed to still around the battlefield.
Then, it was released in one fell swoop. A vacuum blade that encompassed the whole dungeon floor.
A sonic boom resounded and everything in front of Lars was cut in half horizontally.
The spartoi that Udaeus summoned clattered on the ground. A field of bones surrounding them.
He stepped up and the bones under his feet were crushed. "I guess I should finish this up. I need to cook up something for the girls."
Lars shrugged as he thought that they deserve a feast for leveling up.
"Ravage; Wind Scar." A pulse of mana was released from his body.
Then, invisible crescent blades of wind fanned out in front of him.
The ground was torn asunder as several vacuum blades tore apart anything in its wake.
Udaeus formed a wall of bones in front of it, but it wasn't able to protect itself from his magic.
A grinding noise resounded in the air as the wind clashed against the monster rex's body.
It held on well, but the bones that composed its body cracked and became dust.
The magic stone inside of its rib cage was damaged and Lars picked it up.
"I guess this will do." Lars started eating it and he could feel his bones get stronger.
Magic resistant, metallic, and overall denser. "Wait a minute."
Lars had an idea. "Dance of the young ferns." He slammed his hands on the ground.
A forest of bone then erupted, with him as the epicenter.
"Shit, ain't I Kimimaro with this?" He then winced as he controlled his spine.
A hole formed above his middle back and he pulled out his own spine that was jet black.
"Damn... It actually is painful. People will have a heart attack if they see me pull my spine out." He thought of pranking Loki.
"I guess this will be my main method of attack for now..." Lars thought it fits his fighting style really well.
He wants to perfect his magic sword making first before wielding a weapon.
And that will take quite some time. So he opted for hand to hand combat for now.
"Okay, I need to go get some ingredients I guess." Lars went back to the surface.
__Wheat manor__
Everybody was celebrating the birth of Demeter familia's 1st class adventurers.
Tione and Tiona. The amazons had sheepish expressions on their face as the farmers of the familia offered them all kinds of dishes.
"It turned lively, eh?" Lars chuckled at them. Tiona was stuffing her face and Tione looked at everybody fondly.
"Yeah..." She didn't expect that a familia would be so much nicer. Unlike what they experienced in Telskyura.
"So, anything new that you got?" Lars asked. "Just a DA, it's called fist strike. While Tiona got something called crush."
"Well, that suits you two." Lars chuckled and she nodded.
"I also have new magic. Fulgur Armorum." Tione grinned at him.
"Lightning armor? So it's like Alise's Agaris Alvesynth huh?" Lars was pleased.
"Yes, so that's going to be my specialty. Lightning magic." Tione was proud of it.
"Hey, I got one too! It's called Sanguine. It strengthens me and in exchange, I get damaged continuously.
But if I kill something, the blood I spill heals me up just fine." Tiona explained nonchalantly.
"Bloodrage? That sounds dangerous as heck." Lars smiled wryly.
"Don't worry, I'll just heal them anyways." Airmid chuckled.
"You children have come a long way. Especially you, Airmid." Demeter smiled at them.
She then hugged Lars, burying the back of his head between her cleavage.
"Ahhh! That's not fair, Demeter!" The amazons looked at their chest and it was definitely not even a contest.
Airmid then stared at him coldly. "Hey, why are you looking at me like that? I didn't put myself here." Lars defended himself.
"Good work in raising them. I heard that Astraea's children also got to 1st class." Demeter smiled at him.
"Yeah, they're great adventurers in the first place." Lars smiled softly as he remembered them.
They still did their old job religiously. And that is to uphold the law in Orario.
Now that they were 1st class adventurers, they can also do that more easily.
Not to mention that when they leveled up to 5, their stats were maxed out due to Lars.
"Mou. And they're extremely indebted to you." Tione pouted at him.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Lars sighed at her jealousy.
"Yeah, it is... But they'll fawn over you more. Until you grow up that is." Tione squinted her eyes.
"That's still a few years away. I'm sure they'll get their own lovers during that time. I think..." Lars was in fact, not sure.
Except for Lyra that seemed to have a thing going on with Finn. But the blonde braver seems to be afraid of her.
Like due to a past life, Finn had a relationship with her that was complicated.
"And speaking of that, I'll have to be outside of Orario a lot due to Monstro." Lars revealed and the girls were shocked.
"Y-you're leaving us here?" Tiona stopped eating immediately.
"Not really, I'll just be away a lot." Lars thought of building a fortress.
And that would take a lot of time and effort. With his inventory, it will be much easier. So he had to go.
Alfia also wanted to visit Bell more. Teach him in order to prepare him for Orario.
She didn't want her nephew to get caught unprepared with his pants down in the dungeon.
Tione and Tiona were complaining that he should just stay. Airmid then stood up and she hugged him.
"Visit us regularly. I guess we do need to grow without you by our side all the time." Airmid smiled softly at him.
"You're saying goodbye like I'm not coming back. I hate goodbyes, how about we say. See you again later?" Lars chuckled and they agreed.
