How strong was Revis?
In the original plot, Ais owed a large debt for breaking a borrowed sword.
She went down to the Dungeon with Finn, Riveria, the Amazon sisters, and Lefiya to earn money.
It was then, by chance, that they encountered the murder case in Rivira Town.
And it was then that Ais first met Revis, the messenger of the Corrupted Spirit.
They engaged in a fierce battle for the Jewel Fetus.
Even with Airiel (Wind Spirit Speed) fully activated, Ais, whose strength was infinitely close to Level 6, could not defeat Revis.
Instead, she was struck down by her opponent and put in danger.
Given that it wasn't a one-sided annihilation, it can be roughly inferred that Revis at this time had the strength of a newly promoted Level 6.
Moreover, she was specialized in power and endurance, similar to a Dungeon Boars.
"You know who our enemy is?"
Ryuu's expression immediately became serious upon hearing the news of a Level 6 enemy.
While her strength was considerable, she was only Level 4 and utterly defenseless against a Level 6.
"You, handle the package."
"Level 6, leave to me."
The Minotaur Eugene arranged things unhurriedly. His composed demeanor inexplicably reminded Ryuu of Eugene's own calm manner.
Come to think of it, the two had a similar aura.
"Then, once I receive the package, how do I handle it?"
Lulune, who carried the package, was only Level 3. With a bit of caution, taking her down quickly and without injury was entirely possible.
The Minotaur Eugene shook the ring in his hand. Ryuu recognized it as Eugene's property.
He had fooled her into believing it was called a "Storage Ring," a magical item capable of miraculous spatial magic.
"Give it to me."
Eugene planned to use his system space to handle the Jewel Fetus on his side.
Plunder magic was his main asset, but because of its evil nature, he still didn't want to expose it in front of Ryuu.
Besides...
He was eager to see how this thing would react when confronted with "Divine Blood."
When the "Spirit," the darling of the gods, is corrupted, what kind of sparks will fly when its offspring encounters the radiance of a God again?
Just thinking about it was exciting!
The two briefly communicated again and then split up.
Eugene, who had been staying in town, naturally noticed the arrival of Bete and the others.
His plan was to use them as a shield to fend off the numerous Piranha Plants that Revis was about to summon.
As the messenger of the Corrupted Spirit, Revis also had the ability to freely control Piranha Plants.
This time, she had arranged a large number of Piranha Plants around Rivira and underground.
A single whistle would ignite a massive chaos.
At that time, Revis could make a direct move toward her target.
In the original plot, her tactics were disrupted by the exceptional combat power of Finn and Riveria.
This time, due to the change in fate, the two Level 6s have been replaced by Bete.
And Ais has been replaced by Ryuu.
It wasn't just a simple replacement; Eugene had meticulously planned the plot for both of them.
Ryuu must meet Revis.
Just as Ais's fate became intertwined with Revis's after their encounter.
Ryuu, too, will forever remember today's meeting.
Because Revis, her existence, was truly special.
Whether she was friend or foe remained unknown.
"Hehe... The one who is truly impatient is me..."
Eugene was laughing madly inside.
A so-called feast should be exactly like this!
It must not only involve intense conflict but also the collision of destinies!
He watched Ryuu disappear down the alleyway, and suddenly a touch of apology arose in his heart.
For a girl who had endured so much darkness and pain, such a meeting seemed a little too cruel.
But then again...
If I don't crush your spirit like this, how can I take advantage of your vulnerability and swoop in?
He smiled and melted into the darkness.
The golden light in his eyes flashed and disappeared.
And this signaled the raising of the curtain.
...
Meanwhile.
Although Bete inferred that the real killer was not among the women.
Out of caution, the body search continued.
Despite not knowing the meaning of their actions, the Amazon sisters and Lefiya diligently and closely supervised the process.
The three innocent girls were occasionally startled by the sudden appearance of experienced, older women.
"Wha! How did they get that big!"
Tiona complained every now and then, making Lefiya feel awkward.
Although Lefiya wore thick clothing, she was also quite well-endowed.
It was hard to comfort Tiona about such a thing.
"Stop it, you idiot! Stop yelling!"
Tione was annoyed by the noise and tried to restrain her silly sister.
But all she got was an even more mournful cry.
"You have the nerve to say that! We came from the same mother!"
Tiona approached angrily, but when she saw her sister's ample bosom, she lost the courage to confront her.
"I'm so envious, boo-hoo..."
Having never seen so many women before, Tiona suddenly realized the cruel truth that she was at the bottom of the size scale.
She squatted down helplessly, a small rain cloud forming over her head.
Although, as a Level 5 powerhouse, yelling like this was undignified.
Tiona and Tione were, after all, just seventeen-year-old girls in the prime of youth.
As for Lefiya, she was even younger, not yet sixteen!
It was a bit harsh to demand them to be perfectly composed.
Of course, there were also people who weren't young but still lacked common sense.
Such as the 22-year-old Bete.
In the other world, he was definitely considered an adult, yet he always thought so straightforwardly, like a little kid.
"Still not out, still not out, still not out!"
Still not out!
It didn't take long for Bete's resentment to accumulate like a volcano.
He crouched on the rooftop, scanning the movement ahead, his eyes practically bulging out.
He looked like a hungry wolf lurking, ready to pounce like a wild beast at any moment.
Bors and Willy saw this and dared not try to persuade him, letting him make a fool of himself on the rooftop.
And just then, a long distance from the house, on the stone steps leading to a higher area.
A furtive figure, taking extreme caution, was preparing to slip away.
The figure was small and slender, clearly female.
She had a pair of yellow eyes, fluffy black hair, and her brown skin was suitable for stealth.
Her attire was also like that of a ranger.
It was everyone's target: Lulune Louie, the Werebeast!
She tightly clutched the straps of her backpack, holding the satchel against her chest, terrified of any mishap.
The aftermath of this incident exceeded Lulune's imagination.
First, Level 4 Hasanah was murdered, and then high-level adventurers from the Loki Familia appeared, searching everywhere.
How could such a tense atmosphere not make her overthink?
Thus, Lulune finally couldn't hold back and decided to slip away.
She went against the common route, planning to leave from the highest point of Rivira.
The equipment she carried could help her avoid others' notice while easily descending from a high altitude.
"I really have to thank Big Sis!"
Lulune sighed in relief, seeing no one noticed her nearby...
Hermes Familia's Captain was able to create many miraculously effective magic items.
And Lulune carried a "Cloak of Invisibility," along with several other life-saving items.
Logically, as long as she was careful enough, no one would be able to catch her.
However, she underestimated the danger of her situation.
Whoosh—
A sound of wind arose.
Lulune instinctively looked up, and then her eyes widened in terror!
Standing in front of her, unnoticed until now, was an Elf woman clad in a pale green cloak!
Her eyes were cold, and her wooden sword was already poised.
Her movement was so swift that Lulune had no time to react!
"Lulune Louie," Ryuu spoke calmly.
"First, please don't think about running away."
"Because my blows are always heavy-handed."
Ryuu lightly tapped her wooden sword on the stone steps, and a crack immediately spread.
In these past few years, her best skills were assassination and interrogation.
Tracking Lulune was simply too easy.
"Second, please be assured, I only want the package in your satchel."
"Once I have it, I'll let you leave immediately, without laying a hand on you."
First, severe deterrence, then gentle persuasion—a classic negotiation tactic.
"Third, that thing is very dangerous."
Ryuu issued a solemn warning: "You saw Hasanah's fate. Besides me, there are villains pursuing it. Holding onto it puts your life at risk."
"Give it to me, and you'll be out of danger."
Lulune was intimidated by the cold aura radiating from the other party. The moment she saw Ryuu, she knew she was no match for her.
Under Ryuu's combination of cajoling and frightening, she couldn't help but waver.
Although the commissioner didn't look like a good person either, it was better than losing her life here!
"I, I..."
After a moment of hesitation, she finally chose to hand it over.
Lulune carefully pulled an object from her satchel and placed it on the stone steps in front of her.
It was a spherical package, tightly sealed with cloth.
"I haven't seen what it looks like!" Lulune raised her hands and slowly backed away. "It was like this when I received it!"
Her tone was sincere, but Ryuu narrowed her eyes.
"Stop."
A cold hostility flickered in Ryuu's eyes.
"Open it and let me see."
!!!
Lulune's expression changed, and her mouth twitched.
Oh no!
The moment her body stiffened, Ryuu was certain: this package was fake!
Ryuu swiftly moved, covering several meters in a single step.
Her speed exceeded Lulune's imagination. Before Lulune had a chance to use the magic item in her satchel, her wrist was already gripped!
"Ah, ah, ah! It hurts, it hurts!"
Lulune was twisted to the ground by her arm. Ryuu didn't waste words, tearing the entire satchel off her.
She quickly searched through it and found another identical spherical package inside.
"Hmph."
Ryuu sneered and pushed Lulune aside.
According to Eugene's description, the package contained a jewel.
Its size...
"About a circle bigger than Aisha?"
"Just about manageable with one hand."
Ryuu recalled Eugene's somewhat inappropriate description and felt speechless.
But it was surprisingly accurate!
She cautiously peeled back a section of the wrapping cloth, revealing a sliver of a gap.
Through the light, she saw it.
Inside the crystal-clear jewel.
A grotesquely shaped, deep-green monster was soundly sleeping.
