章 366: Just wait

After Dionysus's war of madness, Bell had trained himself since he knew how weak he was. More importantly, the pain he felt when he thought about how he would hurt Isao was unbearable.

"But that guy is so cruel..."

When Bell thought about how Isao dared to kill many and cut the limbs of others, he felt that he had to stop Isao, forgetting the fact that the others tried to kill him.

So, even if Isao was the friend that Bell met before he entered the Orario, he decided to be cruel and stop Isao.

Yet, unexpectedly, even if Isao was so cruel, he was the one who was at the top, conquering everything, and became someone with the highest position in the Orario.

While Bell couldn't accept everything, he felt powerless to change anything.

Nevertheless, if someone was careful enough, they could tell that Bell wasn't sorry for his actions. Instead, while it was hard to accept, he felt that he was correct in his actions since Isao was too cruel!

Instead of killing and hurting others, shouldn't we talk to each other to solve everything peacefully?

Yet, Bell forgot that he had used his force to kill Isao.

Still, Bell knew that it would be hard for him to meet Isao, especially with the difference in power and position. However, he wouldn't give up!

He had decided to become stronger and become a man who was suitable for Freya!

"...."

However, as he thought so, he clutched his heart, feeling in extreme pain as if something important in his life was taken, which made him confused.

"What was this feeling?"

While he wasn't sure, he decided to meet his friend, Welf Crozzo, but unexpectedly, he saw that this young blacksmith, whose skill was okay, was seemingly ready to leave.

"Welf? Where are you going?"

Hearing Bell's voice, Welf was startled, and his expression became awkward. He wanted to leave quietly, but it seemed he was discovered by Bell.

"Bell..."

"What's wrong, Welf? Where are you going?"

Facing those questions, Welf hesitated for a moment before he decided to tell the truth. "I am going home."

"Home? Where?"

"Rekia Kingdom."

"Rekia Kingdom?"

Watching Bell's confusion, Welf was speechless, but facing this friend of his, he decided to be truthful. Unlike the others, his life in the Orario wasn't that good, especially when all the blacksmiths on the Hephaestus Familia were jealous of his family's origin and skill.

As someone from the Crozzo Familia, he had a natural talent for crafting a magic weapon, so it was normal for others to feel jealous of him.

More importantly, even if he had a talent, he felt disdain for such a talent, which made others feel even more annoyed!

Welf had a talent that everyone longed for, yet he treated that talent as trash, so how could those blacksmiths not be angry?!

However, Welf didn't understand their feelings, nor did he plan to do so since he didn't care about them. If there was someone he cared about in Orario, it would be Hephaestus, but unfortunately, it seemed that the goddess' feelings toward him weren't as he thought they were.

Welf felt helpless, so when he learned the invitation from his father to go back to the Rekia Kingdom, he agreed without hesitation, thinking of making a new start there, becoming an existence that everyone could look up to.

By then, would Hephaestus look at him differently?

This was what Welf thought, but what he didn't know was that it was already impossible for Hephaestus to have a feeling toward him.

Still, if it were others, he wouldn't bother to explain, but as Bell was the only friend he had made in the Orario, he told Bell the truth.

"I-I see..."

Bell was shocked and in pain since he didn't expect Welf to leave, but he also knew that Welf had his own dream. Like him, who wanted to become a hero and then save a girl in the crisis before becoming popular among girls in the dungeon, Welf also wanted to do the same, even if the method was different.

Nevertheless, unlike in the original, the two decided to part away instead of being together.

Still, while Bell was sad, he couldn't stop Welf since this was Welf's dream, and as it was his friend's wish, he could only support him.

"D-Do your best, Welf..."

Even so, Bell cried.

"Don't cry..."

Still, Welf also cried.

The two hugged each other for a while before they parted ways.

"Do your best, Bell. Be a hero that I can be proud to be."

"Yes!"

Still, the two never thought that they would become enemies; after all, the Rekia Kingdom would wage war against the Orario, yet with how low their position was, they wouldn't be able to know that information until the people at the top told everyone.

As for Hephaestus and Tsubaki Collarbone, even if they knew Welf had decided to leave, it didn't matter since Isao was there, and compared to Isao, Welf was nothing.

For the blacksmith, everyone's aspiration was to create a weapon that was comparable to a divine weapon.

So, Isao, who could have the talents and knowledge of everyone as long as he touched them, meant that he could be the best of the best in just a short amount of time.

However, to do that, he had to get the DNA of those who were the best of the best.

This was also the reason why he didn't do anything to Dionysus and Ishtar since he knew that they wouldn't give up. To defeat him, they would do anything, even sacrifice themselves to create a powerful creature that could destroy everything.

Isao was greedy for this creature that they would create and couldn't wait to get the DNA of such a creature.

Still, he didn't want to wait too long, and he wanted to press them further so they would be in a hurry and desperate. After all, the wounded beasts were the most dangerous, so he pressed them tightly, until they couldn't control themselves and evolved so that way, he could get them.

Before that, he had to wait, but fortunately, this waiting process wasn't so boring, especially when Freya accompanied him.

"It won't come out even if you suck on them."

Freya said dotingly as she rubbed Isao's hair with a comfortable sigh.

"It will come out soon."

Isao let go of Freya's perky pink nipple, then sucked her other nipple, wondering why it was so sweet.

"Really?"

"Yeah, just wait."

"Okay, okay!"

There was no doubt Freya anticipated their future, but unfortunately, Ishtar couldn't do the same.

Still, Ishtar had made her preparations, and the only thing that she had to wait for was for the War Game that would be held soon.

"Now, with this, I will be able to destroy them."

As Ishtar said so, she looked at the amalgamation of creatures that appeared beautiful yet grotesque and couldn't wait for it to destroy everything that had made her furious.
