Chapter 49 Summoning Miss Ryu
Chapter 49 Summoning Miss Ryu
"Um?"
Hyacintos's long, slender leg was aimed directly at Roy's head. When he saw that Roy was able to block it, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Level 3 and you still resort to sneak attacks? Is this how Apollo taught you guys?" Roy took two steps back, shaking his slightly numb hands. Fortunately, the dungeon training and the battle just now had allowed him to initially grasp the power of Level 2, otherwise he would have been kicked away directly.
"Shut up!"
"You lowly person are not worthy to talk about Lord Apollo!" Hyacinthus slammed his fist down.
"It's better than you bunch of gays!"
Upon hearing this, Roy's face turned cold, and he ruthlessly exposed the Apollo Familia's lack of dignity.
The powerful force of LV.3 rushed towards him. Roy stared intently at his opponent, his muscles tense, and chose to dodge. The fist grazed past his cheek.
It's foolish to engage in a head-on confrontation when your abilities are inferior to your opponent's. Defeating an enemy of a higher level requires a combination of factors, including ability, skill, strategy, courage, and even language.
Roy appeared to be forced to flee in a sorry state by Hyacinthus, but he always managed to nimbly dodge Hyacinthus's attacks at the last second. Despite Hyacinthus's seemingly fierce maneuvers, he never actually touched him.
This made Hyacinthus even angrier.
Roy was like a patient hunter lurking in the grass, waiting for his prey to make a mistake.
This opportunity didn't take long to arrive.
Compared to the original timeline, Hyacinthus is now in his early seventeens, having just advanced to LV.3. As the leader of his clan, he is full of vigor and pride.
The opponent's movements were far from skillful.
"You monkey who only knows how to run away!" Hyacinthus took a step forward and unleashed a powerful Rising Dragon Fist.
In that instant, Roy seized the opportunity.
Roy tilted his body to dodge Hyacinthus's rising dragon, then spun 180 degrees and burrowed into Hyacinthus's arms like an eel.
With his back pressed tightly against the other person's chest, he delivered a powerful elbow strike to the other person's stomach.
"puff!"
Hyacinthus's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; he staggered back, coughing violently.
"You're Level 2!"
Hyacinthus's mouth was dripping with saliva, but he didn't care about his image. In this new round of confrontation, he finally realized that Roy was not a LV.1 nobody.
The surrounding adventurers were in an uproar.
Roy looked to be in his early thirties. It's quite rare to see someone at LV.2 this age. Some of them are even in their thirties or forties and are still stuck at LV.1.
"Surround him!"
Hyacinthus's disdain vanished; LV.1 and LV.2 were two completely different realms.
Reaching LV.2 signifies that the adventurer has undoubtedly achieved something extraordinary. Such an adventurer must possess achievements that surpass those of ordinary adventurers in certain areas.
Underestimating a Level 2 adventurer can lead to disaster!
Twenty or thirty members of the Apollo Familia surrounded Roy, most of them LV.1, four or five LV.2, and Hyacinthus, the LV.3 leader of the Familia.
The nearby adventurers quickly made way, their eyes filled with schadenfreude as they looked at Roy. "You're meddling in other people's business, aren't you? Now you're going to get what's coming to you!"
"snort!"
Roy glanced at them, his face disdainful. Did they think only you guys could call in reinforcements?
Since the opponent is of a higher level, insisting on using a human wave tactic while continuing to fight alone is simply insane for Roy. He opened his mouth and shouted, "Miss Ryu, your family members are about to be ganged up on!"
By checking his teammates' locations through the system, Roy knew from the beginning that Ryu was nearby.
With a level 4 bodyguard by his side, how could he dare not provoke a mere member of the Apollo Familia?!
Several seconds passed, and there was no movement.
An awkward atmosphere seemed to fill the air, and the faint cawing of crows could be heard in everyone's ears.
Roy's face darkened. No way, was that girl really going to just watch him get beaten up?
"Ugh!"
Finally, a helpless sigh rang out, clearly audible in the quiet crowd.
All eyes turned to that familiar figure draped in a cloak; who else could it be but Ryu?
"blast!"
The onlookers quickly stepped back, making way for Ryukyu, demonstrating the undeniable power of Ryukyu's presence.
After dealing with the Rudra clan, he emerged from the dungeon covered in blood.
Ryu first glanced at Roy with a lingering look, then said coldly, "Apollo Familia, step back! He is a member of our Astraea Familia!"
The members of Apollo's Familia exchanged glances, and finally all eyes were fixed on Hyacinthus.
"Swiftwind, he let our target go. You think you can take him away with just a few words? That's going too far!" Hyacintos said in a deep voice.
If it were the former Astrea Familia, they would naturally not dare to offend them. But with only Gale left, the Apollo Familia might be able to take a hit!
Although it's unknown how these two managed to wipe out the Rudra clan in the dungeon, those methods wouldn't work on the surface!
Seeing that Ryu remained silent, Hyacinthus, believing he had overwhelmed her with his imposing manner, continued, "Gale, you are nothing but remnants of the old era; there is no place for you in the new era!"
Hyacinthus's reckless behavior left Roy speechless, and he saw Ryu's face growing increasingly grim.
"Let's fight! Let's fight!" Roy thought to himself, fueling the fire.
As he wished, the cold light in Liu's eyes grew even colder, and the next second, his figure shot out.
Facing the renowned Ryu, Hyacintos dared not be careless and raised his vigilance to the highest level, but the gap in strength was far beyond his ability to overcome.
Before he could even get a clear look at Ryu's figure, a long, slender shadow swept past—it was Ryu's wooden sword—striking him away and leaving him completely stunned.
thump!
Hyacinthus fell to the ground and rolled several times.
Ryu swiftly swung his wooden sword, flashing like countless afterimages, and struck Hyacinthus hard, deliberately hitting places that were painful but not fatal.
Hyacinthus's screams echoed through the sky.
Apollo's retinue dared not go up to stop him.
This is a Level 4 adventurer!
There are probably only a little over a hundred people in the entire Orario, most of whom are concentrated in a few top-tier clans, so it's really not easy to encounter them normally.
The higher the level, the greater the gap, especially later on, where the difference of one level is as huge as an insurmountable chasm.
Before long, Hyacinthus was beaten black and blue, his once handsome face now resembling a pig's head. He lay on the ground, utterly powerless.
Ryu held the wooden sword to Hyacinthus's neck, asking emotionlessly, "What did you just say?"
"I...I lost...I apologize." Hyacinthus had several teeth knocked out, causing him to speak with a lisp, and a hint of fear crept into his eyes as he looked at Ryu.
"Let's go!" Ryu glanced at Roy.
"Miss Ryu is awesome!"
Roy laughed and followed the other person away.
Upon seeing the two approaching, Liu Xiao's face still held a murderous aura, exuding an overbearing presence. The onlookers were so frightened that they retreated in panic, scrambling to the side to hide.
The two figures gradually disappeared into the distance.
