Western side of the ancient city's ruin.
The Palum Girl, who Hestia said was different, was still trying her best to stall for time.
"Next, Lili will introduce the equipment Lynn uses when exploring the Dungeon."
"Lynn's equipment comes from the Hephaestus Familia. The armor uses materials dropped by Armored Mice and Metal Rabbits, maintaining defense while significantly reducing weight, priced at 2 million Valis."
"As for the main weapon Lynn uses, the primary material is hundred-forged iron and the horn of a Horned Rabbit. Its sharpness is top-tier among ordinary weapons, priced at..."
"Stop! Wait a moment!"
Zanis interrupted.
At first, when he heard Lili say that Lynn was LV2, he was quite looking forward to Lili's 'top-secret intelligence'.
But as time passed, he felt more and more that something was off.
From introducing Lynn's physique and height, to introducing the food Lynn likes to eat, and then introducing the equipment Lynn uses to explore the Dungeon...
Apart from Lynn being LV2, everything else she said was nonsense.
"Don't you have any more important intelligence? I need to understand Lynn's skills and magic! Even if you can't provide that, at least tell me his ability values!"
"I do, Lord Zanis, I do."
Lili cooperated and stopped her introduction, taking out a palm-sized scroll from her bosom.
"This records Lynn's blessing panel from ten days ago, it is Lili's greatest harvest from this trip."
"If you have something like this, take it out earlier next time."
Zanis snatched the scroll and opened it.
[YukimuraLynn—LV.1]
[Strength: 10]
[Endurance: 10]
[Dexterity: 10]
[Agility: 10]
[Magic: I0]
[Magic: None]
[Skills: None]
"...?"
The scene suddenly fell into silence.
After looking at the scroll calmly for a moment, Zanis smiled with relief.
"Arde, are you stalling for time?"
"Yes."
"Then I must say, you have been very successful."
Zanis drew the one-handed sword from his waist, a flicker of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Now you have one last chance."
"Tell me, why did you betray me?"
"Does betraying a piece of scum need a reason?"
Just then, a new voice rang out.
"Lynn?"
Zanis, who was preparing to attack, was startled and turned to look at the wall not far away.
"Why are you here?!"
"Of course, I came to find you."
Lynn leaped, jumping from the wall into the middle of the Soma Familia, right next to Liliruca.
"The farce should end now, Zanis."
"End? It should indeed end."
While making threats, Zanis retreated, shielding the Soma Familia in front of him.
He did not intend to fight Lynn personally.
Lynn dared to initiate a War Game and break into the enemy's heartland alone, which clearly meant he had confidence in himself.
The opponent was either a monster LV2 capable of fighting above their level, or an LV3 who had leveled up twice.
Regardless of which possibility it was, Zanis, who was not good at fighting, could not be the opponent's match.
However, ...
"You are too arrogant! Lynn!"
"Even if you are strong! It is impossible for you to defeat all of us before your stamina runs out!"
"You are right, it is difficult for me to defeat the entire Soma Familia alone right now."
Lynn slowly drew the weapon from his waist: "However, you seem to have misunderstood one thing."
Due to the nature of the game, the key point of this War Game was not whether Lynn could defeat the Soma Familia alone, but whether he could arrive before the members of the Soma Familia scattered.
And at this moment, with Liliruca's help, he had successfully achieved this.
"I don't need to defeat everyone."
Thunder Breathing, Seventh Form: Flaming Thunder God!
A move derived from a true Martial God, bearing the name of a deity, was revealed at this moment.
"There is only one thing I need to do."
Accelerating from a standstill to the extreme, Lynn turned into a flash of lightning in an instant, appearing behind Zanis.
"That is to crush you with absolute power in front of everyone."
As his voice fell, a crisp tearing sound rang out.
Zanis, who had been spouting nonsense, froze in place, staring blankly at his missing legs.
What... just happened?
...
"Eh? What just happened?"
In The Babel Plaza, Lefiya had the same confusion as Zanis, who was far away on the other side.
Even though she had been staring at the divine mirror, she hadn't seen what happened in that instant at all.
"So fast."
"Yeah, too fast."
Tiona and Tione looked at each other, sighing at Lynn's unreasonable speed.
"Aiz, could you do that when you were LV1... no, LV3?"
"I couldn't."
Aiz was silent for a moment, then shook her head slightly.
Her Magic increased sustained speed, which was completely incomparable to Lynn's instantaneous burst.
"Breathing Technique, Demon Slayer Corps..."
Recalling what Lynn had said not long ago, a strange look flashed in Aiz's eyes.
If she could also learn the Breathing Technique...
"Let's go back to the Familia."
After taking one last look at the scene in the divine mirror, knowing that everything was over, Aiz turned around.
"I have something to discuss with Loki."
...
Loki Familia.
"Hey, hey! What the hell is this!"
Watching the fleeting battle in the mirror, Loki widened her eyes and exclaimed.
Didn't Hestia say Lynn was LV1?
One strike to bypass the crowd and instant-kill an LV2, and you call this LV1?!
"I see, so this is the so-called trump card for victory."
Finn, who was also watching the battle, rubbed his thumb, a thoughtful look on his face.
Because the battle ended too quickly, he couldn't discern Lynn's true strength.
But at least one thing he could be sure of.
The strike Lynn unleashed in battle would normally require LV4-level strength to block.
"Riveria, did Lynn use any Magic just now?"
"No, at least I can't tell from here."
One of the three executives of the Loki Familia, Riveria, who held titles such as Nine Hell and Orario's strongest mage, shook her head.
Although the divine mirror could broadcast images occurring far away, it ultimately had certain limits.
Without being there in person, Riveria couldn't be sure if Lynn had actually used chantless Magic.
"Haha! The young people these days are getting more and more terrifying!"
Gareth, once known as a monster, laughed loudly, looking toward the werewolf youth not far away.
"Bete, do you think you could have reacted to that strike when you were LV3?"
"Huh? Are you senile old man not awake yet, talking nonsense!"
Bete, who had been frowning and thinking about something, raised his head, a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"Don't talk about one strike! Even if it were ten or a hundred, I could block them all!"
"You're still the best at bragging!"
Gareth gave a thumbs up, his laughter growing louder.
Influenced by him, Finn and the others nearby let out light chuckles.
Even Riveria, who was usually stern, joined in.
For a time, the atmosphere inside and outside the Loki Familia was filled with joy.
...
On the other side of Orario.
A boy with white hair and red eyes widened his eyes.
"So amazing."
Watching the dazzling and eye-catching figure in the divine mirror, a sense of longing arose in his heart.
If he could be as amazing as that person, maybe he wouldn't be rejected by the gods.
...
