~BAM~
~GAH~
A precise blow to the stomach caused Eris to spit out a large piece of saliva and go flying.
"Eris!" Seeing Eris fall into a house, Ghislaine shouted with concern.
Fortunately for Ghislaine's relief, Eris soon emerged from the house, seemingly unharmed.
"I'm fine, Ghislaine, a punch like that can't hurt me," Eris said with an arrogant expression, sneering at Alfia.
Alfia, noticing Eris's sneer, furrowed her brow slightly, then tensing her body, she launched herself towards Eris again.
"Heh, that won't work twice." Wielding her sword towards Alfia's fist, Eris applied her immense strength.
Suddenly, braking swiftly changed her trajectory to the side of Eris.
~CRASH~
In a huge display of agility, Eris spread her legs, causing. braking to fall to the ground.
Alfia, not to be outdone, threw her weight towards the ground aiming for Eris's face.
Seeing the incoming attack towards her face, Eris only smiled. "Hehe, Alfia, don't forget I don't fight alone."
"Mano Burst."
"Great Fang" (Ghislaine's ability, gained in her last fight against Alfia, I forgot to mention it, when I update, I'll fix the details)
Two devastating attacks headed towards Alfia from both sides.
As if that weren't enough, Eris pulled out a short curved sword from her back and with a short chant towards Alfia, "Fire of Wrath."
Covered in red flames, the sword headed towards Alfia's neck.
Furrowing her brow, Alfia, seeing the situation, softly chanted "Satanas Verion."
Sound waves exploded around Alfia, destroying the abilities of Eris, Ghislaine, and Elinalise.
The sound waves continued to advance even after crashing into the three abilities and hit the three Rozzo family girls.
~BAM~
All three were sent flying several meters away.
"Ah, my back." Holding her back, Elinalise complained in pain.
"Grr." With a grunt, Ghislaine held her slightly bleeding shoulders.
"Gah!" Spitting blood, Eris struggled to get up, having received the most significant blow of the three as she almost buried herself in the ground.
Falling gently like a feather, Alfia looked indifferently at the three women.
Shifting her gaze, she focused on the mage who had been chanting a spell since the battle began.
For some reason, a bad feeling crept into her heart as she felt the immense amount of mana gathering in the scepter.
"Does she have a magic that can threaten me?" With interest in her gaze, Alfia chose to wait for the elf to unleash her magic.
However, for now, she has three women to deal with.
Looking at the women who had already gotten up ready to continue the battle, Alfia had to admit that all three were great warriors.
"Fire of Wrath!" Activating her ability, flames covered Eris, this time much more violent and hotter than before.
Eris's ability is enhanced by her anger, so from the enormous heat of the flames, we can tell that Eris is very angry now.
Alfia looked at Eris's physical condition and said somewhat astonished, "She's dangerously close to level 7."
Abilities like that to jump ranks were rare even in the time of Zeus and Hera.
~WHOOSH~
Without giving Alfia time to continue thinking, Eris launched herself with her swords towards Alfia.
~CLASH OF METAL~
With a small dagger, Alfia blocked Eris's attack.
Without stopping, Eris continued to wield her sword at a speed that the human eye could barely follow.
~WHOOSH~ ~WHOOSH~ ~WHOOSH~
With perfect movements, Alfia calmly blocked Eris's attacks.
"Mana Burst."
Suddenly, a rapier attacked her exposed back.
~CLASH OF METAL~
As if she had eyes on her back, Alfia effortlessly blocked Elinalise's rapier.
However, the small opening Alfia left when defending against Elinalise gave Ghislaine, who had been looking for an opportunity to attack, time to strike.
"Fang."
~WHOOSH
Like the bite of a beast, Ghislaine's sword attacked Alfia's exposed waist.
~CLASH OF METAL~
~SHARP CUT~
Although Alfia managed to deflect the sword, a slight cut still managed to wound her waist.
Seeing her blood flow, Alfia furrowed her brow. This week alone, two people have made her bleed, both from the Rozzo family.
"Hehe, so your blood is red too, arrogant woman." With a mocking smirk, Eris laughed at Alfia's wound.
With a stoic face, Alfia said loudly, "Raucous!"
"Satanas Veiron!"
A sense of crisis seized Eris, causing her to quickly move away from where she was.
In the next moment, a huge explosion hit the spot where Eris was.
Emerging from the huge amount of dust, Eris crashed to the ground, trying to get up quickly but falling back to the ground.
"Eris, are you okay!?" Seeing Eris's condition, Elinalise asked with concern.
"I-I'm fine!" Completely disoriented with blood coming out of her ears, Eris tried to regain her senses.
Although she dodged the blow, the sound wave reached her ears, almost making her eardrums explode.
Taking a potion from her belt, Eris quickly drank it. Soon her ears healed, and she regained some sense.
"Be careful with that magic; the sound wave attacks your ears. Cover them with mana to avoid it!" Riveria, who was on a rooftop preparing her spell, warned the three girls.
Listening to Riveria's instructions, Elinalise, Ghislaine, and Eris covered their ears with a thin layer of mana.
"What a keen sight." Seeing that the mage noticed the main effect of her ability so quickly, Alfia gave a rare compliment.
"My spell is almost ready; hold on a bit longer!" Riveria shouted, as the terrifying amount of mana continued to gather in her body.
"Don't worry, Riveria-chan, we're okay!" Elinalise shouted.
In fact, that wasn't entirely true. Although except for Eris, none received any significant blows, the enormous energy in each attack they launched is starting to take its toll.
Concentrating her mind on the battle, Elinalise as vice-captain quickly gave orders. "Eris, you go ahead, Ghislaine, support Eris, I'll handle attacking when there's an opening."
"Understood!"
Covering her body with fire, Eris's ability was activated again, while Ghislaine brought her aura to the maximum, ready to make a cut.
~WHOOSH~
With her sword in front again, Eris threw it towards Alfia without any fear.
~CLASH OF METAL~
Blocking Eris's attacks, both engaged in a tough battle again.
Although Eris's physical strength was inferior to Alfia's, she compensated with her incredible technique, making it difficult even for Alfia to get her off.
Ghislaine, for her part, blocked the attacks that Eris couldn't block, and whenever she could, she attacked Alfia.
Soon, several small cuts began to appear on Alfia, although none seemed serious for some reason, they kept bleeding.
Alfia, who continued fighting with Eris, began to feel something wrong. The amount of blood coming from her wounds was abnormal for the size of the cut.
Frowning, Alfia looked at her wounds that wouldn't stop bleeding and discovered that a faint red aura was emanating from them.
"A bleeding effect?" With a stoic expression, Alfia reached a conclusion. Bleeding effects are rare, only some cursed objects have them, and according to her memories, the last one was destroyed by her family.
Looking at Ghislaine's weapon, Alfia shook her head. According to her perception, the weapon is normal. Suddenly, Alfia remembered the ability that the woman used every time she attacked.
"I see, your ability has a bleeding effect," looking at Ghislaine, Alfia said confidently.
Eris, Elinalise, and Ghislaine furrowed their brows at the same time. They expected her to realize it, but not so quickly.
With an unpleasant look, Alfia looked at her dress, which was practically covered in red.
"Sighh, It seems I underestimated you..." With a small sigh, Alfia knew that she had unintentionally underestimated her enemies.
For other adventurers, bleeding may be serious but not so deadly. After all, a potion would be enough to fix the bleeding.
However, for Alfia, bleeding can be serious, after all, she doesn't have potions to use.
And worst of all, excessive bleeding doesn't bode well with her illness.
Poisoning and paralysis had already begun to appear due to excessive bleeding. (these are conditions caused by Alfia's illness)
She could already feel her body weakening as she lost blood.
"It seems I have to fight seriously." Knowing that she could no longer let her wounds worsen, Alfia prepared to fight for real.
"LIMIT OFF"
Forcing her ability even further, soon some of the cuts began to heal, but unfortunately, not all of them closed.
Eris, Elinalise, and Ghislaine, who had been attentive to Alfia, felt the increase in her aura and tensed their bodies to the maximum.
"Be caref—" Ghislaine, who planned to warn the others, suddenly felt a force dragging her to the ground.
~BAM~
~GAH~
A large spurt of blood came out of Ghislaine, and a hole nearly two meters deep was made where she crashed.
"Ghislaine!!" With anger on her face, Eris tried to run towards her friend.
However, at the next moment, feeling a strong crisis, she quickly drew her sword and blocked the attack coming towards her.
~ METALLIC CLASH ~
"You bastard!!" Seeing Alfia in front of her, Eris's anger erupted, and without needing to activate her ability, her body was covered in intense flames.
On the other hand, Alfia was surprised to notice Eris's physical strength, now she could even briefly compete with her.
"Strength at level 7, it's a truly powerful ability..." A fierce smile formed on Alfia's face.
"Hehe then let's see how many you can withstand."
While Alfia and Eris fought at a speed that no one below level 7 could see, Elinalise approached Ghislaine.
"Ghislaine, open your mouth!" Getting close to Ghislaine, Elinalise applied a potion to her mouth.
The potion soon took effect, healing Ghislaine's wounds.
"Are you okay, Ghislaine?" Elinalise continued checking Ghislaine's condition.
"I'm fine, now I can fight." Ghislaine, with a blank face, got up from the ground.
"However..."
Seeing the fight between Eris and Alfia, Ghislaine really didn't know how to intervene; at least she felt that any casual cut could send her to the sky.
"Eris's condition won't last; her physical condition was already low before activating the ability, now with the extra expense, she'll probably be exhausted." Elinalise, as Vice Captain, has access to the status sheets of everyone in the family, so she understands how Eris's ability works.
"Elinalise!" Suddenly, Riveria's shout pulled Elinalise out of her thoughts.
Looking towards her captain, Elinalise could now see the terrifying scene surrounding Riveria.
The enormous amount of mana gathered around her could no longer be contained only in Riveria's scepter.
The surroundings of Riveria had been crushed by the pressure of the mana.
Riveria's face was also pale, and some blood was coming out of her nose; clearly forcing such an amount of mana into her body is not easy.
"R-Retreat quickly!" With a choked cry, Riveria, who was being pressured by her own mana, said with difficulty.
Understanding Riveria's warning, Elinalise activated her ability to the maximum.
"Mana Burst!!" Burning all the mana in her body, Elinalise jumped into the fight between Alfia and Eris, pushing Eris out.
~SHARP CUT~
"AHG" Even when she burned almost all her mana to gain speed, a large cut appeared on Elinalise's back.
"Elinalise!?" Eris, who saw the large cut on Elinalise's back, shouted with concern.
"Now is not the time, Eris, we need to run!" Elinalise, ignoring the pain in her body, ran away from the area.
Ghislaine, who was following them, also escaped from the place.
As for Alfia, she didn't have time to think about pursuing them, feeling the fatal threat coming from the elf's magic. For the first time since the beginning of the battle, Alfia's face became solemn.
"What terrible magic is this?" Opening her two eyes, Alfia looked in astonishment at the mana that was changing to a golden color.
Riveria, who had started bleeding from her ears and eyes, sang with difficulty, "Oh bless me, Supreme God of Light, to bring enlightenment to your enemies, let me burn them with your sacred heat, reflect your light in my heart and soul, and allow me to judge their sins..."
Riveria's mana turned golden, and she began to emanate a sacred aura.
Bells seemed to ring throughout Orario, and the previously cloudy sky lit up.
With a determined look, Riveria sang the last phrase.
"DISINTEGRATION!"
For a moment, everything returned to silence, and the next second, all of Riveria's mana poured out of her body.
A huge pillar of light shot towards Alfia, and any object that touched the pillar was immediately disintegrated.
Alfia's wide-open eyes saw the enormous pillar of light coming towards her.
With a small smile, Alfia said, "It seems this era also has its heroes..."
Then, with a determined face, Alfia's mana mobilized, and with a small incantation, a layer of mana covered her body.
"Silentium Eden"
~BOOOM~
The enormous pillar of light hit the ground, causing an explosion that shook all of Orario.
...
Further north of Orario, a great battle is also taking place—the fierce fight between the Zard family against the Loki and Freya families, nearing its climax.
~BOOM
Suddenly, all the groups engaged in battle stopped their movements.
Seeing the huge mushroom cloud to the south of Orario, the entire group fell silent.
Without needing to be there, just by sensing mana, they could get an idea of how terrifying that magic must have been.
"Riveria is truly an amazing mage," Finn, who was covered in blood, murmured incredulously as he saw the enormous explosion.
Zard, on the other hand, stared fixedly at the explosion. Then, with a relieved expression, he murmured, "It seems Orario will be in good hands. It's time for this vestige of the past to disappear..."
With a nostalgic look, Zard put a big smile on his face, then addressing the Freya and Loki families, he said.
"It's time to end this battle."
...
Tower of Babel, top floor.
"What the hell was that!?"
"What the hell did we all just witness!?"
"Divinity!!!, that magic contained a trace of divinity!"
"Impossible!!, absolutely impossible!"
The Gods who saw Riveria's magic felt like their eyes were about to pop out.
Mortals may not be able to feel it, but they as Gods naturally can. That magic indeed contained a trace of divinity.
That, for the gods, is impossible. From the creation of Genkai until now, no mortal has even come close to touching divinity.
Even the so-called level 9 champion wasn't even close to divinity.
And now, seeing those Gods, a trace of divinity, although it's just a small trace, is enough to drive them crazy.
"It must be you, Kaylon! You must have done something to her Falna!"
Suddenly, a God pointed accusingly at Kaylon.
The rest of the Gods, upon hearing the accusation, immediately also looked at Kaylon and said.
"Kaylon, you broke the rules!! You know it's forbidden to give divinity to mortals!!"
"That's right, unless you plan to take her to Tenkai, she cannot stay here!"
"I demand justice! The guild must give us an explanation!"
Many Gods stood up and accused Kaylon, while others remained silent.
"Urano, give us an explanation!" A dark-skinned goddess, with purple hair and purple eyes, looked at Urano sitting on a majestic throne.
With an indifferent face, Urano slightly opened his eyes, first fixing them on Kaylon, who still had a stoic face, and then turned them back to the dark-skinned goddess.
"Ishtar... I have long confirmed that Riveria's Falna is not tainted with divinity." With an indifferent tone, Urano pronounced those words and closed his eyes again.
Opening her eyes, a venomous look crossed Ishtar's face, then she immediately shouted hysterically, "That's nonsense!!! There must be divine intervention!"
Looking at the group of Gods, Ishtar said, "My fellow Gods, they're lying to us!! We all know that woman called Riveria must be tainted with divinity. We won't tolerate this injustice!?"
"That's right!! This must be a conspiracy of the guild!!"
"You're lying to our faces!!"
"I demand that Kaylon be judged!!"
A triumphant smile appeared on Ishtar's face, then with a smug smile, she looked at Freya, who was sitting in silence.
Freya, feeling Ishtar's gaze, shook her head, looking at Ishtar with some pity.
Loki, who was nearby, also gave Ishtar a pitying look; in his eyes, Ishtar's future will not be easy at all.
Suddenly, an indifferent voice sounded throughout the Denatus.
"Silence."
An immense pressure filled the entire room, all the Gods who felt the pressure trembled slightly, their faces also turned pale.
This wasn't divine pressure; this was the suppression of life level, like when a deer encounters a tiger.
Opening his eyes and looking at the Gods with an indifferent face, Kaylon said, "It seems that time in Genkai has made you forget who I am..."
"I wonder, who made you believe that a bunch of ants can judge me?"
Words as cold as an ice cube, all the Gods in the room felt their blood freeze.
No one refuted, no one spoke, for a moment all the Gods remembered the terror of the primordials.
If for the gods mortals are toys, then for the primordials, the gods are their toys.
Directing his gaze towards Ishtar, who began to tremble when faced with the icy gaze, Kaylon said, "You're lucky, Ishtar. If this were Tenkai, I would have already erased you, and forever..."
With a pale face, Ishtar lowered her head, only now realizing the mistake she made.
Because the primordials, like Kaylon and Urano, follow the rules when descending to Genkai?
For them? Not at all, the only reason the primordials follow the rules is because there is a contract signed with Gea.
The will of the earth, the embodiment of the world, she is the one who makes the primordials adhere to the rules.
Not some small gods like them.
Giving one last look to Ishtar, Kaylon stood up and said, "I'm bored of this meeting, I'm out..."
~CREEEK~
Walking out the door, Kaylon left a room as cold as ice.
"Hehe, he's still as terrifying as ever," with a bit of sweat on his forehead, Loki said amidst laughter.
"After all, he's a primordial..." With a charming smile, Freya, who didn't seem affected by the situation in the room, said.
"Hehe, however... That bitch is dead, right?" Looking at Ishtar, Loki said with a mocking smirk.
"Fufu, Sooner or later... Kaylon tends to be very vengeful." With a smile, Freya looked at Ishtar as if she were looking at a dead person.
