The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

Chapter 114 The Enraged Burning Feather

Fen Yu was also somewhat puzzled at this moment.

How did Apollo manage to spot him?

The news of his upgrade to Lv.2 probably hasn't spread yet. There are only a few witnesses to that great feat, and the guild is keeping it a secret. He doesn't even have a decent title yet.

Given the strength of the Apollo Familia, it would be even more impossible for them to discover that he possessed a rare skill that was the source of the dungeon's anomaly.

It's impossible that Apollo also has Freya's divine eye, which can be used in the lower realms and can directly see through the radiance of the soul, right?

No, isn't this kind of foul-level ability supposed to be possessed only by the goddess Freya?

Moreover, even Freya, after witnessing his soul's radiance, showed no intention of making a move. What is Apollo up to now? Is he cheating?

Just as Fenyu was pondering, Hermes, recognizing them as members of Apollo's Familia, revealed a meaningful smile.

He elegantly pressed down on his travel hat and whispered to Asphie, "Asphie-chan, this is going to be good. It seems we don't have to wait until after the Council of the Gods. Apollo is as wicked as ever—but this time, I have to thank him."

Asphie looked speechlessly at the self-righteous God who seemed to fear nothing more than chaos in the underworld, her heart overflowing with sympathy.

Poor Mr. Fenyu—first he was targeted by the God of Fun, and his carefully hidden secret was about to be exposed. Now he's been entangled by Apollo, a god with a wicked personality who enjoys collecting beautiful young men.

She knew the reputation of Apollo's clan very well. Since he had already started setting up a scheme, it meant that Apollo was really eyeing Fenyu.

"Lord Hermes, is this really a good idea?"

Asphie couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "If the hero candidate you've chosen falls into the hands of Apollo—he'll probably be ruined, won't he?"

Although it was only a brief encounter, Asphie did not believe that Fenyu was the kind of person who could accept the customs of the Apollo Familia and Apollo's own special interests.

"Heroes always suffer hardships, and only those who overcome them can be called heroes."

Hermes smiled, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Don't worry, Asphie-chan. Even without Apollo, I'll find a way to boost his strength," to see if he's truly qualified to be the hero candidate I'm looking forward to. After all, simply possessing a rare skill isn't enough to make someone a hero; only those who can overcome obstacles and turn the tide in dire situations are true heroes."

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of all the adventurers in the tavern.

When people realized that it was members of Apollo's family surrounding a young man, many of them showed expressions of understanding.

Especially when their gaze fell upon Fen Yu's striking white hair and handsome appearance, most people instantly switched to watching the show.

"Ha, here we go again, the Apollo Familia are finding new toys for their god again."

A muscular orc took a large gulp of wine with a smug grin and mumbled something.

"Their methods are as despicable as ever."

In the corner, an elven adventurer who was wiping his longsword frowned, his tone full of disdain, but he had no intention of getting up.

Apollo's heart is known to all.

No one would be so foolish as to offend the Apollo Familia, which has Lv.3 adventurers, for the sake of a complete stranger.

Thus, sympathetic, pitying, and gloating glances intertwined, but no one stood up.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Ignoring the surrounding chatter, Fen Yu's icy gaze shot straight at the dwarf, Luan Esper, who was lying on the ground, covered in grime.

Lu An, of course, wouldn't admit it. He raised his head, pointed at himself with his fingers covered in food crumbs, and forced an extremely aggrieved expression on his face, shrilly retorting, "You're lying! You clearly bumped into me and you won't admit it! Look at me, look at my clothes, this is my favorite outfit!"

His companions exchanged smug glances. The tallest orc stepped forward and said condescendingly, "Judging by your appearance, you're probably a penniless wretch and can't afford to pay up. How about this? I think I saw some pretty girls from your clan earlier. Let them come out and keep us company, and we'll mercifully forgive you for this. What do you say?"

The moment the words left his mouth, the air in the tavern seemed to freeze.

Fen Yu's eyes turned completely gloomy, and an undisguised killing intent rose from his body, making the surrounding temperature seem to drop several degrees.

These people have touched a raw nerve with him.

Say it again.

Fen Yu's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

The orc from Apollo's clan, completely oblivious to the impending danger, grinned lewdly and continued his unrestrained speech: "I'm telling you, let those women from your clan come and play with us—"

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a hand, swift as lightning, press down on his face.

The force of that hand was beyond imagination; he didn't even have time to react.

The next moment, he felt dizzy and the whole world was going backward.

Boom! ...

With a loud bang, the orc's massive body flew backward like a cannonball, smashing three or four thick wooden tables and chairs along the way, scattering wood and wine glasses everywhere.

Finally, he slammed into the tavern's hard wall, becoming deeply embedded in it.

Centered on him, terrifying spiderweb-like cracks rapidly spread outwards.

The orc's eyes rolled back, and blood mixed with fragments of internal organs kept spilling from his mouth and nose. His body twitched twice before he completely lost consciousness.

"You bastard, how dare you lay a hand on me!"

The entire arena fell silent; everyone was stunned by this sudden and incredibly brutal scene.

They never expected that it would be Fen Yu, who was surrounded, who would strike first, and that he would use such a ruthless killing move right away.

The other six members of Apollo's Familia were taken aback at first, then simultaneously revealed expressions of fury.

Although this is exactly the result they wanted—to force the other party to take action, and then to teach him a lesson with a legitimate reason.

But when Fen Yu actually made a move and instantly crippled one of their companions, the anger of being slighted still surged to their heads.

"Kill him!"

The six roared and swung their fists, charging towards Fenyu from all directions.

Fen Yu showed no mercy. Facing a person rushing in from the side, he didn't even look at him and delivered a swift side kick that struck the opponent squarely in the chest.

The man let out a muffled groan, and his body flew out like a kite with a broken string.

At the same time, his right hand shot out with lightning speed, precisely catching an oncoming heavy punch.

"Snap!"

With a sudden twist of his wrist, Fen Yu's teeth clenched and the sound of bones breaking echoed through the tavern.
