Chapter 292: Born to Break Convention
🕑 Added 2025-07-11 04:08:30 +0000 UTCThe square in front of Babel Tower was bustling with people, large numbers of adventurers heading towards the tower. A new day had dawned, and they were ready to continue their adventures. After all, due to the Monster Feria and the Familia Myth War Game, they hadn’t been to the dungeon for days.
Just then, the square suddenly stirred, with continuous exclamations rising, causing confusion.
Among the crowd, Finn, Riveria, Ais, Tiona, Tione, and Lefiya of the Loki Familia were also startled, then looked back.
When they saw the silver-haired young man and the brown-haired Pallum girl walking at an unhurried pace, they all smiled helplessly.
“The silver-haired young man is really popular,” Tiona exclaimed.
“Of course, after all, he is the man who defeated two major Familias, and even before the God’s Assembly confirmed his title, he was already called Orario’s ‘Ruler’ by the world.” Finn sighed, shaking his head.
“And, he’s an adventurer who ascended to LV.7 in one month, with all attributes at SSS.”
At this point, Finn said with extreme astonishment. This also left everyone, including Ais, speechless.
When Loki brought back this news yesterday, they all suspected they had misheard, almost scaring them silly. However, aside from this possibility, Finn simply couldn’t find any other reason why Blake could be so strong. So, although it was hard to accept, they could only accept this fact.
However, how Blake managed to do such a thing remained a complete mystery. Even Ais didn’t understand.
“Captain Finn, Ais… going to the dungeon so early?”
While Finn and the others were in a daze, Blake, amidst the respectful gazes of passersby, leisurely walked up to Finn and the others. After greeting everyone, he softly asked.
“Captain Blake, good morning. Are you as well?”
Hearing this, Finn recovered and, after politely nodding, asked back.
“Mm, I’m accompanying Lili to the dungeon to grind monsters.”
Hearing this, Blake gently patted Lili’s head and said with a smile.
“I see. In that case, would you like to come along?” Finn inquired.
“Sure, let’s go.”
Blake casually nodded and agreed.
Then, the group set off again.
“Hey, hey, Blake-kun, are you really an LV.7 adventurer?”
After the two captains finished talking, Tiona immediately reverted to her lively personality and asked curiously.
This also made Ais and the other girls look over.
“Mm.”
Hearing this, Blake didn’t hide anything, calmly nodding.
“I really don’t know how you did it. It took me a long time to reach LV.5.”
Hearing this, Tiona couldn’t help but mutter. Although she was envious, her eyes remained clear.
“This method, in this world, only applies to me.”
Blake smiled gently, saying mysteriously.
“Uh…”
This answer left everyone speechless, and they stopped asking questions, as it was Blake’s secret after all.
Over the next few hours, the group spent their time chatting. As for the monsters they encountered, all of them were left for Lili to handle.
Lili’s movements were displayed for the first time before the Loki Familia, astonishing them.
They never expected that the girl who was just a supporter not long ago had improved so much. Although her moves weren’t flashy, her speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness when using a short knife to kill monsters were not much inferior to theirs.
It was hard to imagine what Blake had taught her.
Among those present, only Blake and Ais had calm eyes, as they had witnessed Lili’s growth firsthand.
Although Blake had thought about teaching Lili swordsmanship, he eventually decided against it, considering that swordsmanship isn’t something that can be mastered quickly. So, Blake ultimately chose to teach Lili simple combat techniques, assassination techniques, and dodging skills improved from some basic elements of Luo Cui Lian’s Divine Footwork.
Because he taught in an easy-to-understand way and Lili was willing to work hard, this level of achievement was nothing remarkable.
Monsters above the twelfth floor posed no difficulty for Lili. However, when it came to LV.2 monsters in the middle floors, which were a tier above Lili, she struggled to cope. Several times, Finn and the others wanted to step in, but Blake stopped them, making them anxious.
In the end, what was shocking was that Lili, with her small stature, actually managed to kill an LV.2 Fire Wolf after a fierce struggle. Overcoming a tier difference to kill a monster was the exclusive domain of geniuses. Even Ais only achieved it when all her attributes exceeded A, yet Lili did it despite her attributes being three tiers lower than Ais’s, only D.
Lili’s talent was clearly several notches below Ais’s, yet Blake was able to train Lili to this level in such a short time, leaving Finn, Riveria, and the others completely speechless, deeply impressed from the bottom of their hearts.
Strong in combat, and also strong in teaching others; it made them wonder if Blake was omnipotent.
Afterward, they continued their advance. However, Blake no longer let Lili, with her delicate body, fight LV.2 monsters alone. Instead, he assisted her with enhancement magic while she killed the LV.2 monsters.
The result was naturally dumbfounding. With Blake’s enhancement magic, LV.2 monsters were cut down like paper, with no ability to fight back whatsoever.
Roughly estimated, Lili’s various attributes were all boosted to LV.5!
When did LV.5 adventurers become so worthless…?
Seeing this scene, Finn and the others felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.
However, their minds inexplicably accepted the current reality. Perhaps, whatever this man Blake did, everything was normal…
Of course, if they knew that this was still Blake holding back in his enhancements, and that even a slightly more serious enhancement could directly make Lili surpass Ottar (LV.7), even the calm and experienced Finn would probably be scared silly.
As Lili cut down various LV.2 monsters like chopping vegetables, the group quickly arrived at the Floor Boss’s room.
And the Floor Boss had just refreshed, which was quite a coincidence.
Just as Finn and the others were about to step in and instantly kill the Floor Boss, Lili, at Blake’s command, attacked again.
Under the shocked gazes of the others, the Floor Boss, an LV.4 monster even stronger than typical LV.5 monsters, was relentlessly taken down by the LV.1 Lili after a fierce battle.
The so-called level system simply did not exist in Blake’s eyes.
