Chapter 225: The "Adventure" Becomes an Active Skill
Ishtar.
One of the goddesses of Orario.
Her deep purple hair was styled in an updo, her figure was curvaceous, her wheat-colored skin looked healthy and alluring, her beauty was beyond compare, her lips were painted with pink lipstick, and her purple eyeshadow exuded a charming and seductive allure.
Her attire was extremely revealing, with only a small amount of brownish-red clothing covering her body. She wore a crown, and her wrists and ankles were adorned with gold ornaments, highlighting her nobility.
Behind her stood a brown-skinned young man, LV.4 Tamms, Ishtar's personal bodyguard.
Aisha, also known as "Lijie," is an Amazon with a style similar to Ishtar—bold and unrestrained. She wears a semi-transparent purple dress and is the de facto vice-captain of the Ishtar Familia, commanding numerous warrior women.
The floor owner, Amphispina, suddenly appeared and ruined all the business, much to Ishtar's fury.
The three of them had just turned the corner when they immediately saw the figure hiding in the shadows.
"Who is it?"
Aisha and Tamms quickly shielded the goddess Ishtar behind them, their expressions wary, and shouted at her.
Ishtar's gaze passed through the two of them, her rose-gold eyes coldly fixed on the eerie figure, whose face was obscured by the distorted space around him.
It's terrifying, like a ghost.
Ishtar glanced out the window at Amphispina, who was wreaking havoc in her encampment, before her gaze returned to the ghostly figure. A vague realization dawned on her. "Did you do that?"
Upon hearing this, Aisha and Tamms were taken aback.
Ishtar's tone was chilling. "You bastard, do you know how much money you've cost me?"
"Heh!" Roy gave a cold laugh.
As a deity, Ishtar knew no fear and roared in fury, "Kill him!"
As the most loyal guard, Tamms made the first move, rushing out and his figure swept through the narrow passage, his palm pressing down like a large net.
In terms of both speed and strength, he far surpasses Roy's former victory over the Kingdom's Knight Commander.
It is the skill and awareness honed in the dungeon. Tammus, the sharpest blade in the hands of the goddess Ishtar, is a true assassin, fearless of death like a monster, and possesses superb human combat skills.
Back in Orario, the adventurers' levels are drastically different, and the difficulty immediately increases.
Roy's lips curled up slightly. If he hadn't received training from the goddess Astrea, it would probably have been quite a struggle for him to win over Tamms.
Now his skills are superior to his opponent's.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, just as Tamms was in front of him, Roy moved, lunging forward, grabbing his opponent and slamming him against the wall, his knee striking his opponent's abdomen.
Its terrifying impact caused the entire wall to crack.
So fast!
A flicker of surprise crossed Tamms' eyes, and his shoulder blades tensed with each breath.
A sharp pain shot through his abdomen, and Tamms turned pale.
Roy's thunderous offensive was not over yet.
Take advantage of his illness and kill him!
Suddenly, the frozen air was torn apart, Roy twisted his waist and hips sharply, his left leg whipping out like a whip, striking Tamms' knee with lightning speed!
"Huh?!" Tamms let out a muffled, uncoordinated groan, his left leg buckled, and his body swayed violently, but he managed to stay upright.
He growled, letting out a trapped beast's howl, and charged forward, his fists like venomous snakes emerging from their holes, aiming straight for his face.
Roy tilted his head to the side, narrowly avoiding the opponent's punch at the last second. In that instant, his left hand gripped Tamms's neck like an iron clamp.
Tamms reacted swiftly, smashing his head into Roy's chest like a cannonball.
Heh!
Roy's right knee slammed into the mansion, shattering the latter's nose with a dull thud that echoed through the silent mansion.
Tamms knelt and retreated, his vision blurring as blood-soaked breath sprayed onto his face.
Roy's eyes were indifferent and ruthless. His arms, like iron hoops, had already wrapped around Tamms' body, tightening and coiling upwards, forming a deadly chokehold that gripped the fatal indentation below his neck.
A feeling of suffocation instantly overwhelmed me!
The instinct for survival burned and surged through his veins; Tamms screamed and struggled desperately.
While suppressing his opponent, Roy delivered another kick, slamming it into Tamms' shin like a hammer blow, "crack."
The sound indicated that the latter's lower leg was broken.
"Ah—!"
Tamms let out a heart-wrenching scream in excruciating pain, and his bones emitted a tooth-grinding wail.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
Upon seeing that LV.4 Tammus was instantly controlled by the opponent, Ishtar and Aisha both widened their eyes in disbelief.
The two were like fighters in a deathmatch ring, not using any skills or magic, but displaying the purest fighting techniques, full of wildness.
If it weren't for the enemy, Ishtar and Aisha would have loved to experience the powerful man beneath the eerie illusion; the sensation would surely have been irresistible.
Aisha arrived later, brandishing her large sword, the sharp blade slashing towards the two men.
Boom!
Roy released Tamms, shoved him forward, forcing Aisha to sheathe her knife, and at the same time, pointed a sharp finger at her temple.
Tamms suffered a severe blow to the head, his mouth gaped open, his eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness instantly.
"What a piece of trash!"
Ishtar glanced dismissively at the fallen Tamms, her eyes filled with disdain, completely oblivious to the fact that this man had fought for her.
Aisha kicked Tamms away and was about to continue her pursuit when Ishtar stopped her.
"etc!"
Ishtar reached out and stopped Aisha.
Aisha looked puzzled.
Ishtar didn't explain to her, but stared at the eerie phantom, her eyes narrowing. "You were the one who taught that bitch Freya a lesson, weren't you?"
Roy remained silent.
A huge wave of emotion surged within Aisha; almost everyone in Orario knew about it.
Berserker, LV.7!
All the characteristics matched; there was a magical artifact that allowed him to conceal his presence, and his strength was ridiculously high. Therefore, it was reasonable for Tamms to be defeated so quickly. Aisha looked at the strange phantom again, her eyes filled with apprehension.
"Hahahahaha!"
Ishtar couldn't help but burst into wild laughter. "I'm so happy that Freya, that bitch, suffered such a huge loss. You did a great job!"
Freya's city girl persona was exposed, and Ishtar was very happy during that time, flying dragons to Freya's face every day and mocking her relentlessly.
She had sent out countless people to try and find this person and bring him under her control, but unexpectedly, he delivered himself to her doorstep.
Roy was speechless. It wasn't for you that I did this. The goddess's jealousy is truly terrifying.
"Become my man, and I will let you experience the ultimate pleasure in the world!" Ishtar licked her luscious lips, alluring and captivating, her rose-gold eyes gleaming with an eerie purple light.
Aisha silently looked away.
The opponent is a level 7 berserker. Even if you bring your entire clan over, you might not be able to defeat them. So the only way to subdue them is through the allure of the goddess.
The allure is coming!
Roy's expression was serious, but he wasn't too flustered. Compared to Freya's ultimate beauty and indiscriminate charm, even blind people were no exception. Ishtar's charm was slightly inferior, requiring eye contact to be effective.
So he didn't look at Ishtar at all from beginning to end.
Intuitive!
At this moment, Roy's skill was triggered.
Roy could see a pink mist, thick with desire, rushing towards him, like countless beautiful fairies descending to earth, stretching out their lotus-root-like white hands, exuding a captivating allure—it was Ishtar's power.
The Intuition skill indicates there is no danger.
But what caught Roy's attention was not this, but another solution offered by "intuition".
Unleash your "Adventure" ability!
Having used this development capability so many times, Roy has also summarized the pattern: the activation condition is that he takes risks voluntarily and has a sufficient sense of crisis.
The former is simple, but the latter is not so easy. With Roy's current strength, only a level 6 monster can give him enough sense of crisis.
Now, guided by his "intuition," Roy has discovered another path: self-simulation.
Imagine a sense of crisis in your mind, deceive your brain, and as long as you subjectively believe that you are taking a risk, you can activate this development ability.
Roy looked on with interest, focused his mind, and stared intently at Ishtar in front of him. In his eyes, she seemed to have transformed into a demon from hell, and a false sense of crisis filled Roy's mind.
The adventure begins!
In a daze, the goddess of fate appeared, her face obscured. As always, she was solemn and dignified, but one could vaguely sense her helplessness and bitter smile, as if she were saying, "How dare you deceive the gods."
She pouted her little mouth to express her dissatisfaction, but in the end, she gently kissed Roy's forehead.
When Roy slowly opened his eyes, his overall stats, constitution, luck, charm resistance, and so on, increased.
It worked!
He turned passive skills into active skills.
Since the sense of crisis was simulated in the mind, the amplification effect was reduced by about half, but it was enough to deal with Ishtar's charm.
Roy swaggered over and met Ishtar's gaze.
The erotic mist surrounding him did nothing to affect Roy's mind; it was as if an impenetrable wall had been erected around him.
Ishtar could feel Roy's gaze, and her lips twitched wildly. "Charm didn't work? Why?!"
Aisha's pupils also dilated; it's unbelievable.
That is the power of the gods!
Even mindless monsters can be bewitched, let alone humans. Not to mention LV.7, even LV.9 is nothing in front of gods!
The undeniable facts are right in front of us.
The two had no choice but to believe it, for the eerie phantom seemed to be revealing a mocking smile.
Seemingly realizing something, Ishtar became hysterical, stamping her feet in anger, "What do I lack compared to that wretched woman Freya? You bunch of pigs who think with your lower bodies, are you all blind?!"
Roy was stunned for a moment, then realized that the identity of "Berserker" was Freya's crazy fan.
He is infatuated with Freya, but ignores Ishtar.
Ishtar, who had always wanted to surpass Freya, couldn't withstand this kind of stimulation.
But for Roy, there was no difference between the two. He could accept secondhand goods, but he couldn't accept public transportation. Having had a relationship was different from being promiscuous and lewd. Both goddesses were the same kind of goods.
