DanMachi: Starting with a Sword Soul Template

Chapter 109: Overload Training, Traces of the Pursuers!

After successfully assembling with the Familia team, Liam decisively began the Dungeon exploration, choosing not to continue using his Selfless Sword Aura.

The reason was actually very simple.

He was worried that this overly powerful combat method would become known to the "Apollo Familia." In the face of an absolute strength gap.

They might choose not to initiate a War Game.

Then all the preparations he had made would be wasted.

As for other reasons, part of it was to train his own ability scores. Relying on Selfless Sword Aura to mow down monsters.

Was purely a numerical suppression.

His experience points could indeed increase rapidly, but for the ability scores within the DanMachi system, the improvement process would be relatively slow.

It was like an adventurer of ordinary strength possessing the sharpest First-Grade armament…

An easy mode throughout. But if they lost the weapon, their strength would be destined to be greatly reduced.

Liam's current thinking was quite simple: his own strength could allow the "Sword Soul Template" to exert an even stronger effect!

Honing his combat skills in all aspects was also paving the way for the upcoming "War Game."

"The next phase of Dungeon exploration."

"Let's solve it with swordsmanship. Use as many battles as possible to hone your skills and practice the path of swordsmanship you will follow."

These words were not only for Mikoto.

They also included himself. Liam decisively led the team forward. The upper levels, unless they encountered a rare species monster.

Otherwise, had no training value.

As for clearing the monsters, it was of course handed over to Mikoto, who had a somewhat "tool-person" attribute and had just transferred Familias.

Regarding her swordsmanship.

Relying on the various abilities mastered through the "Sword Soul Template," as for giving guidance on swordsmanship, Liam didn't think he had that ability.

That he could reach his current level was all thanks to the mechanics of the Sword Soul class.

Mikoto, who had studied under the War God Takemikazuchi, from an observational perspective, had extremely fluid swordsmanship. It was just that it leaned towards defense.

It was probably related to her Familia's environment.

As for the existing problems, during the Dungeon expedition, Liam had already told her very clearly. There was nothing else he could say.

"."

Also clear about her own shortcomings, lacking a particularly strong aggressiveness, and even having to be considerate of her Familia members during battle.

Participating in the Familia expedition as a supporter.

When Mikoto saw with her own eyes a strong person like Liam who could stand on his own.

This became her motivation to fight fiercely against monsters. Now, without any worries, she fought with all her might.

Changing her style was one thing.

As for other things, like Liam's... combat style where every attack was accompanied by a sweeping sword aura, her heart was full of curiosity.

But having just joined the Familia, she was too embarrassed to ask.

Following the supporter Lili's guidance, she cleared all the monsters they encountered, only needing to consider her own safety.

The young woman's combat style had changed slightly. It wasn't until they reached the 10th-floor area of the Dungeon.

The mist mechanism enveloped the current area. She paused her steps, looking at Liam and Lili behind her, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

Knowing Liam's training process, this kind of environment would most likely require them to push forward.

But after all, she didn't possess his powerful strength. Yamato Mikoto was somewhat conflicted. She asked, "Should we continue exploring?"

"Of course."

"But I'll give you a demonstration first."

Having smoothly arrived at the 10th-floor area, Liam was of course not slacking off. In his free time, he was observing the surrounding environment.

Looking for any pursuers from the "Apollo Familia."

He hadn't found any danger around. And after such a long period of advancing, Mikoto's physical condition was unable to sustain combat.

Appropriately using the "Monster Party" mechanism to grind for experience and ability scores.

He thought it was quite good. After taking out the Mithril short sword, he led the team to the front of the mechanism mist, not forgetting to turn his head and instruct.

"There's something I might need to trouble you with."

"..."

"We are partners in the same Familia. To talk about trouble is really too formal." Stunned by his sudden solemn attitude.

Mikoto quickly waved her hand and added, "If there's anything, you can just say it directly."

"It's just that if we encounter a Monster Party, I hope you can use your magic to restrain the monsters as much as possible."

"That's a small problem."

Mikoto didn't refuse this arrangement. It was just that her heart couldn't help but become curious. With Liam's strength, there was no need to do this.

Could it be that he was worried about safety?

She furrowed her slender brows and asked decisively, "Is it because the weapon isn't easy to use? I will guarantee Lili's safety."

"No."

When mentioned about his specific intention.

Liam paused his steps, turned around with a somewhat strange expression, especially when facing the young woman's extremely inquisitive gaze.

He hesitated for a moment, then explained, "It's just that..."

"With conventional Dungeon training, I feel the improvement in ability scores is a bit slow. If it's an intense battle in a strong gravity environment."

"I was thinking the effect would be better?"

"???"

Learning the final truth of the matter, the smile that had lifted the corners of Mikoto's mouth instantly froze. Her eyelids couldn't help but twitch wildly.

Using a "Monster Party" for ability score training.

This was already a very rare thing in Orario. Even she, a Level 2 adventurer, wouldn't dare to try it rashly.

She had thought of many possibilities.

Things like the weapon being too short, or the safety of the Familia members.

The one thing Mikoto had never thought of was for her to use the "Futsunomitama" magic skill to create a high-pressure gravity environment…

To provide a training ground for this guy!!

She took a deep breath, trying hard to calm her mood before earnestly emphasizing, "Why don't you listen to yourself and see if you're even speaking human words!!"

The final facts proved that there was no problem with his idea. An intense battle with monsters in a strong gravity environment.

This was an all-around improvement for all aspects of the body's ability scores.

With the same combat style, fighting under a gravity field required several times the stamina to achieve one's original effect.

The price was increased stamina consumption.

But the benefits were also obvious. Strength, agility, endurance, and dexterity, which symbolized the precision of weapon attacks.

The improvement effect was very significant!

After this Monster Party ended, Liam carefully felt the changes in his body. If he continued to train at this intensity.

"I'll still need 4-5 days..."

"I should be able to max out my ability scores in all aspects?"

Since he was already using the "Sword Soul Template," Liam didn't mind pushing his cheat to its limit.

He looked at the young woman, whose face was somewhat pale due to excessive mental energy consumption.

He hesitated for a moment, but still decided, "After we pass the current floor, let's take an appropriate rest."

"Okay."

Worried that her condition would affect Liam's exploration progress, Mikoto gritted her teeth and added, "I should be able to hold on for a while longer."

"."

He didn't answer Mikoto's question. The mist mechanism still enveloped the current floor. The slight sound of stepping on a branch.

Instantly attracted all of Liam's attention.

He turned to look at the area behind him, his brow slightly furrowed, "But it seems there's something else to deal with now."
