Chapter 89: Bete’s Provocation

Chapter 89 - 89: Bete’s ProvocationTime passed quickly, and three days went by. During these three days, Blake raised his attributes to 2000, and he couldn't improve any further. In Hestia's words, Blake had completely solidified his foundation. What he needed to do next was to defeat or kill stronger monsters or people to accumulate enough great achievements and create opportunities to level up. Though he trained with Ais and taught her, it was more for exercise and not life-or-death battles, so it didn't contribute much to accumulating the achievements needed for leveling up. Blake, though helpless, had to abandon this shortcut. After all, if anyone could level up by simply sparring with seniors, there wouldn't be so few high-level adventurers. In the Dungeon, on the 17th floor, Blake was accompanied by Ais, Tiona, Tione, and Lili. They effortlessly defeated monsters along the way. The reason they were in the Dungeon with the Amazon sisters was because the Loki Familia was preparing for an expedition and would be gathering on the 18th floor. So after finishing his training with Ais, he decided to join them. The Loki Familia had actually planned the expedition long ago, but due to Ais learning sword techniques and magic from Blake, it had been delayed. However, it couldn't be delayed any longer, so Ais reluctantly headed to the 18th floor to meet up with the other members of the Loki Familia. "Blake, are we going to the 18th floor today?" After crossing the usual training areas, Ais tilted her head slightly and asked expectantly. "Yes, my stats have reached their peak. I want to try defeating the floor boss, Goliath, to see if I can level up." Hearing this, Blake nodded and answered casually, as if Goliath were just some grass by the roadside, to be trampled whenever he pleased. "Level up? Hey, hey, Blake, how many of your stats are S-rank? I'm guessing four, right?" Upon hearing this, the lively Tiona immediately asked curiously. "Tiona!" However, before she could finish, her sister Tione immediately pulled her back, glaring at her. Though Tiona was stopped, her curiosity couldn't be contained, and her eyes were full of questions. Ais felt the same. "Well, it's about the same as what Tiona said." Seeing this, Blake smiled lightly and answered vaguely. He didn't mind revealing his stats to Ais and the others. However, it would be too shocking, and explaining it would be troublesome, so it was better to leave it at this. "Hiss! Is that true? When Ais was Level 1, she only had three stats at S-rank, but Blake, you're amazing." Hearing this, Tiona and Tione both gasped, looking at Blake in shock. As for Ais, she frowned slightly, confused, but she didn't say anything further. It was Lili, however, who froze for a moment. She didn't say anything but couldn't help feeling proud. Four S-ranks? What was that? Lord Blake had five SSS-ranks. The happy conversation made time fly by, and before they knew it, they reached a cave-like entrance. "We're here." While they were chatting, Tione suddenly spoke. Hearing this, Blake raised his head and looked ahead. At the end of the cave-like passage, there was a vast and enormous chamber, much like a hall. The chamber was rectangular in shape, approximately two hundred meters deep from the entrance, with a width of over a hundred meters, and the height from the floor to the ceiling was about twenty meters, making it quite spacious. The entire chamber, including the walls, ceiling, and floor, was made of rough rocks. However, the left side of the wall was different. It appeared to be meticulously polished, extremely smooth, resembling a giant block of ice. As Blake and the others entered, they saw five people emerging from a narrow passage that connected to the eighteenth floor. On the left was a dwarf who appeared to be about fifty or sixty years old. On the right was a beautiful elf woman with green hair, wearing a white robe and holding a staff. In the center was a short man with yellow hair. Behind them were two others. One was a beastman youth with lightning-like tattoos on his face, looking like a rebellious teenager, with wolf ears and a tail.

"Captain!" As soon as they saw the five people, Tiona ran up excitedly and said with admiration. Tione and Ais also looked surprised, as they hadn't expected to see these five. Indeed, these five were the pillars of the Loki Familia. They were: Gareth Landrock, a Level 6 adventurer with the title Heavy Lance; Riveria Ljos Alf, the most powerful mage in Orario and a Level 6 adventurer with the title Nine Hell; Finn Deimne, the leader of the Loki Familia, known as Braver, and one of Orario's few Level 6 adventurers; Bete Loga, a Level 5 adventurer with the title Fierce Wolf; and Lefiya Viridis, a talented mage in the Loki Familia, an excellent rear mage who was also being trained as Riveria's successor. Lefiya was a Level 3, still in training to become a future pillar of the Familia. The appearance of these familiar five made even Blake slightly surprised. "Oh! So you're Blake, huh? You've got some guts getting so close to Ais while I wasn't around! Get away from Ais, do you hear me?" As Blake was thinking about the information related to these people, Bete suddenly, to everyone's astonishment, dashed past Finn and the others and confronted Blake, saying angrily. Blake frowned when he saw the beastman, Bete. It was obvious that Bete had feelings for Ais, so it was natural for him to be unfriendly. However, Blake didn't expect Bete to be so reckless in public. The next moment, Blake couldn't help but chuckle. "You, who are you?" This question made Bete's breath catch, and the atmosphere shifted awkwardly. "Don't know me?!" Bete glared at Blake, shouting angrily. Although he had been in the Dungeon for some time, Bete had heard some news from other adventurers. The Sword Princess he admired was hanging out with a Level 1 adventurer, which he couldn't accept. Even though this Level 1 adventurer was said to be incredibly strong, Bete still saw him as just a beginner. That Ais, whom Bete adored, was associating with this man, and some even said she was his apprentice. This made Bete, already hot-tempered, unable to control his anger. He almost rushed to the surface to find Blake and settle the score. Of course, if it weren't for Finn from the Loki Familia holding him back, Bete would have already stormed to the surface. Now, when he finally saw his rival, Bete couldn't contain his anger. But to his surprise, Blake acted as if he didn't know him at all. This made Bete feel extremely frustrated. "Then, who exactly are you?" Blake asked calmly, still indifferent. "You bastard!" Unable to tolerate Blake's attitude anymore, Bete clenched his fists, seemingly ready to attack. "Bete, what are you trying to do to my friend?" But just as Bete seemed ready to act, Ais and Tiona stepped forward to block Blake, looking at Bete sternly. "Hey, little brat, are you just going to hide behind the women?!" "So what? You want me to accept your provocation and fight you? Sorry, I'm not interested in dealing with a horny wolf like you." Blake said casually, his expression unchanged. --------------- ???? Boost This Fanfic! ???? Every 500 Power Stones gets 2 bonus Chapters! ???? Want faster updates?
