[Chapter Size: 2461 Words.]Lucius POVSomewhere, Orario.

  ...

  ...

  "YOING TO DIE!" Hyakinthos shouted as he used his level 3 speed to advaowards me.

  'Multi-Firebolt,' I thought.

  Before the man could reach me, four fireballs flew at him after f arouhout me moving a muscle, as if I were a fire deity.

  *SHIIII BOOM!**SHIIII BOOM!**SHIIII BOOM!**SHIIII BOOM!*

  The bar, which usually had a cheerful and noisy atmosphere, began to sound explosions, causing even many people outside the bar to run into the streets to inform someone from the Ganeshe family. Others stopped to see what was happening inside, but it was evident that, from the small explosions and the firelight, it was obvious that this arose from a fight between adventurers.

  While Lucius remained oblivious to the curious crowd f outside the bar, he analyzed his oppo while receiving the point-bnk attack.

  'My magic is far superior to my oppo's level; however, he could dodge a low-css attack like Fireball,' Lucius thought, aiming at the ground where his oppo was heading. When the fire hit the ground, it spread in a small explosion, catg Hyakinthos off guard.

  When the smoke cleared, he was in a sorry state in the middle of this part of the bar, which was now on fire. I made sure not to hit anyone, but I 't say the same for the man who said he was going to kill me. His clothes were burned with some still-lit fire; he was injured by these firebolts with some burns on his body, nothing too serious, but his expression was even more hateful towards me.

  'Did the members of the Apollo family expeething like this when they decided to try to take an easy prey, like a newly formed Hestia family?' I wondered.

  Hyakinthos was ready to run towards me when a gss flew between us, shattering near our feet. At the ter, there was an irritated dog that didn't bother to turn around in the midst of the otion.

  "Hey, weaklings. You're ruining my drink. You better disappear from here," he said, and I smiled at this half-beast man.

  Hyakinthos didn't seem like he was going to give up; his anger overtook his rationality, and he only wanted reve this moment.

  "Hello, dog, long time no see. How's my elven princess? Is she still mad at me?" I said, and people gasped. It's ohing to mock a level 3, but now, messing with a level 5 adventurer, not to mention one of the main forces of the Loki family? That's way too insane, making everyone wonder if I had any ination for voluntary suicide.

  "What did you say, you little mage?! I'm going to kill you!" He growled now, I just don't know if it was because I always called him a dog or because I'm hitting on a girl from the main team of his family.

  "Hey, hey... Why not wait until tomorrow? I'm thinking of visiting Riveria. Maybe we fight there? Right now, I have to teach a lesson to this faithful follower of that disgusting and pedophilic god." I said calmly, as if there weren't two adventurers with higher levels tharying to kill me at this moment.

  "He mentioned Princess Riveria? Since when the princess be treated like that by just anyone?" said an elf in the crowd angrily. Most elves in Orario saw Riveria as a symbol of purity and power; everyone respected her. Now, seeing an unknown man, even though there were some rumors about his exploits, speaking of her so casually was driving him mad to help the Apollo family member.

  "Did you only pay attention to that? He just called the God Apollo a pedophile; this man is pletely insane," said a dwarf beside him.

  'Great, I'm starting to get a great reputation in this city.' I thought to myself as I listeo the crowd a bit.

  "Tsk, great idea, I'm going to kill you in front of my family, weak mage! Then I'll see you tomorrow at the mansion!" The half-beast man, surprisingly to me, even seemed cheerful now.

  'He seems to realize it's better to beat me up in front of the Loki family... This guy is really sadistic.' I mented as I turo Hyakinthos, who was still looking at me like a madman, no, he was even angrier after my words.

  'I 't fight in here... So let's take it to the street.' I thought and started to run.

  When Hyakinthos saw me running, he gritted his teeth and ran with all his speed.

  "YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY!"

  As he was about to hit me, I used my small space magic, dodge, allowio run through the door while his attack tried to catch up with me.

  Oreet, I realized that our little dispute had already attracted various onlookers, as there was a crowd that was surprised when I ran out the door. To them, they saw a man gh the doors at the speed of a peak level two, while someoacked him at a peak level 3 speed. However, the oh a slight advantage could dodge the attacks with some kind of dodging skill, so everyone was surprised by this as the stronger one pursued trying to hit him in this escape.

  "e ale the score, captain of that family, belonging to that god with golden curls!" I tauhe man; this infuriated him even more, but not as much as the st time.

  "AHHHHH" He screamed as he attacked me with his fists. His appearance was no lood, his expression was that of a madman, sg everyone who no longer reized him as the captain of the Apollo family. After dodging about 20 attacks, I arrived on a street where there was no one in it, but the crowd quickly followed us; it seemed like an iing sport for spectators at this moment.

  There was always some fighting among adventurers happening in Orario, but most occurred between level 1 adventurers, with the higher levels being hard to e by. And now they were witnessing a fight that could trigger a war game, which hadn't happened in months! How could they not want to see how this situation would unfold?

  "Now we fight; we don't have ons, but I'm a mage, so it's okay if I use magic, right?" I smiled, as he seemed to expe easy fight against the Hestia family when his god ordered him to intercept us and stir up a fight. Hearing this, he just gritted his teeth as he attacked again.

  "I think I'll show off a bit here," I thought and raised one hand to summon an Atronach, a strohan-usual one, while dodging his pu the speed of a level 3.Casting the magiy hand to my side, a purple ball formed, and when it disappeared, a fire woman emerged, illuminating the streets even more, leaving everyone in the crowd amazed."A fire monster! He summoned something out of thin air!"

  "Never seen magic like this, who is this guy?"

  "Did you not notice, he didn't even t, he just ched his fist with a purple aura and summohat creature!"

  "He's the mage from the Hestia family! The one rumored to have destroyed part of the eighteenth floor in a fight against a Goliath variant!"

  While everyone gossiped about me, Hyakinthos was surprised by this at the moment too. This kind of magic was something he had never witnessed.

  Meanwhile, I poi him and told the fming woman who started to dance while h a few inches above the ground.

  "Get him!"

  As I uttered those words, my Atronach started dang even more, creating a line of fire in his dire, throwing small firebolts.

  Hyakinthos began dodging the attacks, which was very easy for him. But as he approached the fiery woman in anger, he realized he was having difficulty dealing with the fire woman since he only had his fists. So, he got burned a bit when his fist ected with the fming monster. He quickly stepped back, pnning to deal with it differently, and started ting while dodging the fireballs after the Atronach recovered from his punch.

  "ALO ZEPHIROS!"

  Hyakinthos shouted as he formed a rge halo of yellow light above the palm of his hand.

  Without wasting any more time, he lowered his hand, causing that strange magic that even reminded me of one of the attacks fron Ball to fly in our dire.

  The halo went straight for the Atronach, uo dodge the attack. The summoning lit in half, and the attack rushed towards me, who was in a er of the street just enjoying the show while my summon fought.

  Looking at the spell ing, I knew my firebolts wouldn't break it, so I opted for an even more powerful spell.

  [- Fire Spell, FIREBALL!]

  *KABOOM*

  Laung the fireball with raised hands, it quickly collided with the oppo's spell. This caused an even bigger explosion than a single fireball, and the crowd sighed as they were amazed by the fight.

  "Did you see that? He just said a few words, and he unleashed such powerful magic!"

  Hearing this, I couldn't help but think.

  'You say that because I haven't pleted the quest for this spell yet; otherwise, it would be a high-scale destruae right now...' I mentally scoffed.

  "So the rumors are true, I've never seen someone summon a fire monster and cast magic like that!"

  "First, this newly formed family gets a record-breaking adventurer, and now there's a magister." Some adventurer mented.

  Ign the ents, I looked at my oppo. He was quite surprised that I could destroy his magic like that, but I didn't let him recover. I geed fireballs arouhout saying a word, and they flew straight towards the level 3 man.

  He was more prepared now, with the advantage of greater distance, he mao dodge the attacks, even though they collided with the ground. However, my attacks didn't stop, making it difficult for him to approach. I was smiling as more and more 20-timeter fireballs formed by my side, and the crowd watched me with ical faces and wide-open eyes.

  *BOOM**BOOM**BOOM**BOOM*

  Hyakinthos, realizing he couldn't get close, gritted his teeth as he dodged the tless firebolts.

  "I must admit, if he gets close, I only have my dodge spell, but I won't be able to attack him, as his physique is much superior to mine, even if I add my support spells... Maybe I'll finish him off as I did with a and that dwarf, since he's not superior to them yet." I pondered as I watched the man jump from side to side while fire exploded from his feet.The crowd only grew as the fight tihe noise wasn't loud, but it attracted curious gnearby. I even saw Bete's dog, now on top of a building, watg the fight attentively.

  "Caught your attention, little wolf?" I smiled at this ent.

  But my smile quickly faded when I heard a voice from above the houses oher side.

  "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?"

  Shouted a blue-haired woman with a spear in hand.

  "It seems the fight is over; the Ganesha family came much faster than I imagined..." I mented.

  I stopped casting spells, and Hyakinthos also stopped in the midst of the scattered fmes. He was still pure rage, but now he couldn't try to take it out on me in front of this woman. He wouldn't dare to front Shakti, the level 5 woman who shouted at us.

  "Hello, my dy, we're just having some fun... Isn't it, folks?" I, not wanting to have trouble with her either, asked aloud to the crowd. Most didn't want the fight to end, so Shakti's presence left them frustrated, who, despite her beauty, didn't like to see the show being interrupted.

  "YES!" A chorus came from them, and I even found it ical at this moment, hearing all the races shouting at the same time.

  " YOU STOP THIS, THE STREETS OF ORARIO ARE NOT AN ARENA FOR YOU TO FIGHT!" She spoke firmly as she desded from the house and walked towards us.

  She stared at us, and her eyes gleamed as if challenging us to tinue. I sighed, realizing I couldn't do anything more.

  "Tch." Hyakinthos clicked his tongue and turo leave with hatred in his eyes. His face was burned, his clothes torn, and equally burnt. ht was a dagger thrust into the heart of his pride; ohe glorious captain of the Apollo family, now he seemed reduced to a beaten street dog, while I wasn't even touched.

  "Maybe this will teach them not to mess with small families anymore..." I muttered internally.

  Watg him walk away, I looked at the short blue-haired woman staring at me, studying what I would do . Giving her a big smile, she looked at me with suspi in her eyes when she saw my expression.

  "My dy, unfortunately, I am a married man. Although she doesn't know yet that we are in a retionship, I am still faithful to her! (Apart from the fact that I slept with three different goddesses), so please don't look at me like that." I said ily.

  "WHO'S LOOKING AT YOU LIKE THAT!?" She shouted angrily. Shakti didn't expeyone in this city to insinuate such things to her, precisely her, the woman who takes care of and must maintain order in this city along with her family.

  Her outburst was a moment of amusement for me. I enjoy teasing these characters, and Shakti, despite being a level that could kill me without me being able to defend myself, I'm still having fun with it.

  "My dy, I know you are a beautiful woman. Maybe if I weren't itted, we could go out ao know each other. But now I have a lease don't insist!" I said calmly. My words made her ge expressions several times.

  What followed was her disappearing from her spot and giving me a punch so fast that I couldn't react. I could only feel a wall beiroyed with my own body and my entire vision darkening.

  [Author's his may sound foolish, but Lucius is arrogant enough to try to provoke Shakti, and also wao show that he is not so OP at this moment, that he die to a level 5 at any moment.]
