Danmachi: The Magic Grandmaster

Alfia explained. "Zald is a high ranking executive of the Zeus familia and a level 7 adventurer."

"Because of his special development ability, he consumed the flesh of the behemoth during their battle."

"This greatly enhanced his physical abilities and allowed him to defeat the monster but it left him in a severe state of poisoning."

In fact, even without her explanation, Sion already knew who that person was.

During the dark age that would happen seven or eight years later in the anime, Zald would intentionally die by Ottar's hands.

This would give Ottar a high quality excelia, allowing him to finally rank up to level 7.

In reality, if they fought at the exact same level, Zald had a much higher chance of winning against Ottar, not to mention that Ottar was only a level 6 at the time of their duel.

Even now, during the peak of Orario, he was the third highest ranking member of the Zeus familia and one of their most important combat forces.

"Why are you only coming to find me now?" Sion asked in confusion.

The deadly poison inside Zald had reached a critical stage, making it essentially a terminal illness.

"The main reason is that they didn't know about your absorption spell. After all, you aren't known for your healing abilities."

"They only brought it up to Hera after they heard about us." Alfia explained.

Alfia continued to explain, "There is another reason. Hera doesn't want you to meet Zeus, fearing he might corrupt you."

"But I think that old hag is worrying far too much, you and Zeus are basically exactly the same in that regard." Alfia casually slandered Sion.

How could he possibly be compared to Zeus?

Although Sion appreciated beautiful women, he didn't enjoy harassing others the way that old god did.

"I understand." Sion nodded and said, "Shall we head over there right now?"

"Mhm." Alfia nodded and then led Sion directly toward the Zeus familia.

After crossing two entire streets, the two of them finally arrived at their destination.

It truly lived up to its grand reputation as the home of the strongest faction in the world.

The entire district was occupied by the two major familias, making it ridiculously large.

They knocked on the main door.

After receiving a verbal response, they opened it and walked inside.

"Welcome." An old man with a full white beard and a somewhat gentle appearance warmly greeted them.

Compared to Zeus, who looked like a frail old man, Hera was a stunningly beautiful woman.

Standing together, they gave off the distinct feeling of a grandfather and granddaughter relationship.

However, the way Hera actually spoke was a completely different story.

She spoke in a very archaic manner, which explained why Alfia always called her an old hag.

"It's nice to finally meet you, lord Zeus."

Sion nodded slightly in a sign of basic respect.

Then, at the polite prompting of Zeus, he sat down on the opposite side of the sofa.

Beside Zeus stood a tall, brown haired man with deep scars on his face.

The man exuded a heavy aura of raw power.

He looked at Sion with a stiff smile that he likely thought was friendly but it actually looked quite intimidating.

"I have to keep a close eye on this idiot to prevent him from saying anything completely strange." Hera nodded calmly then gave Zeus a strict warning look.

Zeus felt her piercing gaze and awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

"I have wanted to meet you for a long time, and now my wish has finally come true."

"Meet me?" Sion looked at Zeus with a highly puzzled expression.

"After all, I was curious about the man who managed to win over Alfia in such a short amount of time." Zeus confidently exclaimed.

"You have my exact style! So, how about joining my familia?"

"Zeus!" Hera glared at him with violent face.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."

Seeing her angry expression, Zeus quickly raised his hands in surrender.

He then tilted his chin toward the tall man and said, "This child is Zald. He has been heavily poisoned."

"I would like you to take a look and see if you can remove the deadly venom from his body."

Even if a full cure was impossible, it would be good enough just to make his remaining time a little more comfortable.

"I will try my best."

Sion nodded, then looked closely at the tall and imposing man.

"This is a small gift." Zald handed Sion a rare grimoire and spoke in a deep voice.

"How polite." Sion accepted the grimoire without any hesitation.

For a familia like the Zeus familia, a highly valuable grimoire was practically nothing, it was just a small gift to them.

Even in the distant future, the Loki familia and Freya familia would only be known as the strongest familia in Orario, while the Zeus familia and Hera familia were currently widely known as the strongest familia in the entire world.

"Let us get straight to the point." Sion looked directly at Zald and spoke clearly.

He appreciated this approach.

Getting straight to the main point was highly efficient.

Before Zald could say anything else, Sion actively unleashed his mind perception spell.

His updated mind perception could project every single aspect of the other person's internal body straight into his brain, easily creating a highly detailed structural image.

It allowed for a much more complex perception, and naturally led to a much more processing capability.

Although Sion wasn't particularly skilled at healing, this kind of extremely subtle mind treatment was something that most healing spells could never achieve.

"Is it really this serious?" Sion sighed softly.

In Sion's mental perception, every single one of Zald's cells was deeply stained with a toxic.

He was almost entirely clinging to life purely thanks to the immense physical vitality of a high tier adventurer.
