"Come one, come all! Don't miss out!"
On the west side of Orario's Central Plaza, which is the West Street Plaza where The Hostess of Fertility tavern is located, a small arena had been set up.
This arena was surrounded by magic stones produced from the Dungeon.
They emitted light, forming a magic circle, which created an almost invisible magical barrier.
These magical barriers could block the impact released during battles, preventing the streets of Orario from being destroyed.
And now—
A young host in a long dress held a megaphone, shouting to the passersby and Adventurers around him:
"As everyone knows! Ever since our Lord Chen Hai reformed the Dungeon, everyone's strength has been steadily improving! Because of this, constantly fighting monsters can become boring, so this arena match is all about 'sparring between Adventurers'!"
The host waved his hand, flipping open the board behind him.
"Look at this! The winner can receive benefits from the sponsors listed above! Such as equipment upgrades! Weapon maintenance! Free supply of provisions, and so on! At the same time, you can also get a coupon worth 500,000! How about that! The benefits are great, right! And the winner will also receive one month of free VIP dining service at The Hostess of Fertility!"
After saying all this, the host began to advertise.
It seems there are also live-selling shows in other worlds.
The end of the universe is live-selling; this saying is truly correct... Chen Hai, who was complaining inwardly, finished listening to the host's introduction of the sponsors and then saw a burly man step onto the stage.
He was muscular and robust, wore an eye patch over one eye, and his arms were covered in iron armor.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Our first challenger is 'King of Fists' Coens! He once explored the Dungeon for five days and five nights continuously, possessing astonishing endurance and powerful strength!"
Hearing this, Chen Hai cast an admiring glance at the King of Fists.
His own rapid level increase was all thanks to these chosen workers.
"Mister Coens' deepest explored floor is the twenty-ninth floor! But this isn't his limit!"
"Because he needs to be cautious."
"Exactly! Exactly! Be cautious! As expected of an Adventurer who went from LV.3 to LV.4 in a short time!"
The host then emphasized:
"Currently, this arena welcomes Adventurers of LV.4 and below to come and spar! After all, if big shots of LV.5 or even LV.6 participate, there will be no suspense!"
"Indeed..."
Coens clearly knew his own strength and frankly admitted that he was not as skilled as others.
After hearing all this, Milim, who was beside Chen Hai, tugged at his sleeve.
"This seems so interesting, I want to go play."
"If you go, you'll just win easily..."
"I'll limit my power! For example, only using one-tenth of my strength!"
Even if a Demon Lord capable of destroying the world only used one-tenth of her strength, it would still be terrifying enough for the danmachi plane.
However, Chen Hai knew very well that if he didn't let Milim go on stage, she would definitely make a fuss.
Letting this girl have fun now would make it easier to control her in the future.
For this, Chen Hai nodded.
"Go, just don't kill anyone..."
"I won't! Don't worry!"
Milim pushed through the crowd and walked towards the arena.
Izawa Shizue heard their conversation and couldn't help but ask worriedly:
"Is it really okay? Milim... for the people of this world, she's like a dimensionality reduction strike."
Shizue had heard Chen Hai describe Orario from danmachi before, which is why she made this judgment.
Chen Hai didn't deny it, but he believed Milim wouldn't kill indiscriminately.
She was indeed a mischievous child.
A loli Demon Lord who had lived for over a thousand years but still maintained her innocence and childlike heart.
But that didn't mean she didn't understand human relations or liked to kill innocent people.
Moreover, Chen Hai would also be watching, not letting her act recklessly.
If there was a problem, he would teleport that girl away.
"Oh my! The first challenger is a little girl!"
The female host saw Milim, her face full of surprise.
"Little sister, who are you with?"
"I'm alone, and don't call me 'little sister,' do you understand?"
The bustling crowd didn't notice Chen Hai, so Milim didn't explain, simply emphasizing that she was not a 'little sister.'
Seeing her serious expression, the female host felt an invisible pressure fall upon her.
Then the female host cleared her throat.
"Ahem, no problem, miss, may I ask what your Adventurer level is...?"
"What's that?"
"Eh? Aren't you an Adventurer?"
"Adventurer? Yes, I'm an Adventurer too, I often go on adventures everywhere, but level... what exactly does that refer to?"
Milim tilted her head.
Coens, who was nearby, looked at the little girl who knew nothing, he turned around and took a candy from the backpack placed in the corner of the arena.
"Here you go."
"Ah, thank you, you big guy are quite nice."
"Go home, little sister."
"Huh?"
Milim, who had taken the candy and quickly unwrapped it and put it in her mouth, bit the candy to pieces after hearing the last sentence.
"Do you want to try?"
"What?"
"My strength."
"If you try it and then you're willing to go back."
"Okay."
Milim chewed the broken candy in her mouth.
She said with a smile:
"If you win, I'll obediently go back!"
"No problem."
And then—
"Ah ah ah?!"
The female host let out a cry of surprise.
For no other reason, Coens had just been easily thrown flying, like a sandbag, crashing into the magic circle wall constructed of magic stones, looking utterly disheveled.
The passersby around were stunned for a moment, then burst into cheers.
"Oh oh! She won!"
"That little girl won!"
"Could it be... a dwarf?"
"She's too strong! She just threw the strong Coens with one hand!"
Milim's victory was beyond doubt.
Izawa Shizue also applauded along with the audience.
After this, other challengers were not intimidated.
Facing a little girl who instantly defeated an LV.4 Adventurer, everyone became interested.
Some wanted to request a fight;
Some requested guidance.
And the latest person to step onto the arena was—Saeko Busujima.
She now had the nickname 'Genius Adventurer' and was highly regarded.
"Please guide me."
Saeko Busujima stood in front of Milim, her expression serious.
"Okay!"
Milim also agreed, ready to play with the Adventurers of this world again.
A new battle thus began.
And this battle would likely be one of the battles with the greatest power disparity in Orario.
