章節 1018: Chapter 1018 The Black Dragon

With the great divide in the middle of the battlefield, the movement of the monsters was greatly disturbed, allowing the Adventurers and Mercenaries to push the frontlines and give themselves some much-needed breathing time.

Serafall was waiting for everyone else to move out since her job was only to protect the Deities. Creating a pathway for them was already a bonus, "...What are you guys waiting for? Go!"

"Let's go." Ottar calmly uttered before he started running at full speed on the newly created path.

"..." Finn wanted to ask what just happened but knew that it was not the time for that, 'I don't know how Riveria got acquainted with her and how she was able to so easily teleport, but what we have to do hasn't changed.' He thought as he started following after Ottar.

Soon the entire group followed them, swallowing their shock and confusion while also clearing their minds to focus on their current goal right now. Although they were relieved that someone very strong was among their ranks, none of them thought of just handing over the Black Dragon's head. Even though they formed a coalition to ensure the safety of people and take back the land, they were still prideful Adventurers and Mercenaries.

Upon seeing them go, Serafall snapped her fingers once again and the Deities behind her started floating. But before they started following the group Serafall addressed something important without turning her head, "I'm going to make this clear, but I'm not involving myself in the actual fighting. Even if some of them start dropping dead."

Despite her very cold Magic, from her earlier interactions, Serafall seemed to be a very warm person. However, right now, there's this distinct coldness that's surrounding her that makes it seem she's a very cruel person. The Devil King was present.

"...But why? You obviously have the power." Hermes muttered softly.

Too bad for him, Serafall didn't deem to explain herself and they just started flying after everyone else.

However, Loki, Freya, and Zeus could tell that her cruelty was not directed to the children, but to something or someone else. Hence, they didn't ask.

The elite team soon reached Orario, but the previously cleared path was already riddled by new monsters that came from the Dungeon. Though none of that was a problem since this is what they were expecting from the start even before Serafall helped them.

"Shakti, Ilta, we'll leave the rear to you two. Tsubaki, Gareth, Ouka, take the pressure from the monsters. Ottar, Allen, Hogni, you have autonomy on what you want to do. I trust your judgment. The rest of you, we'll go straight into the Dungeon and lure out the Black Dragon." Finn started gushing out with commands as monsters from all directions started besieging them.

The group was able to easily break through the crowd of monsters and was about to reach the Dungeon when a familiar roar resounded from deep within it causing Ais to shake.

[Ais... Don't listen to it.] Aria's voice deep inside her head sent a feeling of warmth and protection into Ais' mind and she was able to clear her head.

Meanwhile, the rest of the group stopped their steps and saw a 15-meter-long silhouette of a dark being flying up and taking the sky's supremacy. Its single working dark red eye looked down on everyone while it flapped its wings. "GRAAAHHHHH!!!!!"

Along with its dreadful throat-tearing roar was a cloud of poisonous Black Wind that brought about the curse of decay.

"Move as planned! But be careful. Don't ever let up your defenses! If your defense is breached, immediately inform everyone and retreat temporarily to get treated!" Finn shouted as the ground beneath him cracked and caved in before throwing his spear at the flying Black Dragon.

.

.

"Amazing... To think they could easily endure its decaying breath..." Zeus muttered while watching the fight from the sky with others, "Back at our last clash, my and Hera's children had to constantly drink Elixirs and Antidotes while also casting anti-curse spells just to keep fighting."

"It was this Ki and the development of Magic that one could learn as long as they know how to manipulate Magic Power." Hephaestus replied, "It's an incredible tool that allowed the children to develop their powers that shouldn't have been possible without a God's blessing. It has been a while since it has spread through the whole world and there are even some children of the Lower World who could fight and defeat those who received a blessing without receiving it themselves."

"And because of that, the faith in Deities has significantly decreased." Hermes added, "Some Familia's even prohibited learning this as they saw this as a disrespect to the Gods."

Hearing that, Loki couldn't help but sneer, "Such fragile egos. Just because their children could live without their help, they wanted to deny their hard work."

"It's a real problem in some parts, though." Freya sighed, "There are some reports of Gods being betrayed by their children and abandoned, causing a great degree of resentment to the inhabitants of the Lower World before returning to the Upper Realm."

After that, everyone became quiet. They all tried to gauge Serafall's reaction since they knew that this method of gaining power originated from their group. Serafall could feel their gazes but chose to ignore it since no amount of explanations she had right now would satisfy them, much less take responsibility for those Gods who lost their children.

"Enough about that." Loki ended the topic and turned her attention back to Zeus, "You still haven't explained why you had to sacrifice your own entire Familia just to save and extract Ais from the Black Dragon."

"It was a promise from a thousand years ago. I promised Albert and Aria that I would save their daughter. Of course, I didn't force my children to go to such a length just to fulfill a promise. The main reason is that Ais was a child born out of a miracle. A miracle between the union of a man and Spirit. If Ais were to get absorbed by the Black Dragon, we have no way of knowing what's going to happen but we all agreed that it was going to be very dangerous."

"How did such a miracle come to be in the first place?" Loki asked again.

However, this time, Zeus refused to answer.

28th00: Yeah, funny that. Looking at the personality of like 95% of Danmachi gods, the second they have a way to fight back and beat those with a Falna, without one? They’ll take it within a heartbeat and probably kill the mortal avatars of the Gods they hate. They’re unneeded and actively detrimental at that point, after all. GOTTA LOVE THAT FREE WILL TO DEAL WITH YOUR SHIT, EH?!

章節 1019: Chapter 1019 The Black Dragon part 2

While Serafall was blankly watching the elite team slowly push back the Black Dragon, she suddenly felt a significant movement from the Dungeon. Though the movement was big, all it did was split Riveria from the rest of the team as she went straight towards the opening of the Dungeon.

Since there was really nothing else she could do aside from listening to the Gods' boring talks about the past and their children, she chose to reminisce about what Kisuke had said before coming to assist Riveria.

.

.

.

"Good timing. Sera-tan, do you mind if you go?" Kisuke asked while muting his communication device.

"I don't, but do you need me to do something else?"

Kisuke nodded, "From here on out is the territory of the unknown and I'm not really sure what's going to happen after the Black Dragon is defeated."

"Didn't you prepare for it? How did you prepare without knowing what was going to happen?"

At Serafall's question, Yoruichi couldn't help but smile. Nevertheless, she kept herself quiet.

Kisuke, as if Serafall was the abnormal one, looked at her strangely, "If I know what's going to happen then I wouldn't need to prepare and just tackle it normally. It's precisely because I have no idea what's next that I have to invent all the possible scenarios in my head and prepare a bit for each of those to give me a winning chance."

Serafall puckered her lips, "Forget I asked. So what exactly do you want me to do aside from fulfilling the request?"

"If something ginormous is about to pop out from the Dungeon, I'd like you to stop it, even for just a minute or two, enough for everyone to gain some distance for safety. Oh right, and please make sure they don't approach or attack Wallenstein-san while she's doing her thing."

.

.

.

'A big thing, huh... If I could only stop it for a minute or two, it's probably around Trihexa's level. If it has regeneration enough to rival that monster, I wonder how he's planning to defeat it. And what about that guy up in the sky acting like he owns this place? How is he going to react?' Various questions swirled inside Serafall's head causing her to have some apprehension.

'Thankfully, Sona and the others were able to retreat early. Even if I could already qualify as a Super Devil, I still can't be sure if we can survive this.'

An hour after the battle started and the darkness had already claimed the day, much of Orario was already destroyed. But among this destruction was the relatively fine elite team and the grievously wounded Black Dragon.

The elite team was shocked and so was the Black Dragon itself by how one-sided this battle had been.

It's true that the Black Dragon could be considered one of the strongest monsters that the team came across, but still not on the level of the corrupted Spirit that blocked their access to the depths of the Dungeon.

For the Black Dragon, it came as an extreme shock that this wasn't the usual surface dwellers that fought him the previous times. That's only natural as that's because the warriors that fought it in the past only gained their strength mostly through the Deities' blessings. It failed to take into account that a world would come where a blessing from up above is no longer a necessity.

The Black Dragon judged that the situation was not in its favor so it planned its escape. Although it still had an ace in the hole called the 'Spirit's miracle child', it'd rather not use it now, especially when it already came into an agreement with the corrupted Deity parasitizing the Dungeon.

With a plan in mind, the Black Dragon let out a horrific roar that released a shockwave that temporarily pushed back its aggressors and also asked for help from the Dungeon while letting out its last poisonous wind that was a hundred times more potent than when it initially released it.

"Everyone! Get back!" Finn shouted.

However, there were two individuals that didn't fail to see the opportunity when the Black Dragon suddenly unruffled its wings.

Braving the poison that could easily melt the flesh off anyone who didn't have protection against it, Ottar dashed towards it while clad in a thick orange aura that resembled a berserk boar.

With each of his steps increasing the weight of his war hammer on his hands, Ottar reached the Black Dragon that was about to take off and swung his blunt weapon under its belly, "HAAAAP!!!"

A deafening high-pitched sound rang out from the hit along with sparks that were sent outwards. The Black Dragon's scales and skin were impervious to most bladed weapons so Ottar chose to bring a war hammer to inflict internal damage to it instead.

As he felt the weight of his hammer in his hands increase multiple times, Ottar gritted his teeth and pooled most of his Ki into the path of his swing, sending the gigantic reptile flying straight upwards faster than it could fly.

The Black Dragon let out an intensely pained cry while its insides were uncontrollably churning. Fortunately for it, it was able to mitigate most of the damage by converting its fleshy insides into black goo. This is the reason why it was able to survive until now. Although it cried in pain, it wasn't disabled and was able to see a better chance of escape, if not for the white-haired, red-eyed Adventurer staring intently at it while his body was clad with arcs of lightning.

While up in the air and before it could even understand what was going on, a flash of light momentarily covered its sight for a second before it went dark. Another second later, it finally felt the pain that came from its remaining eye and let out another cry of panic. While it was not an irrecoverable injury like what had happened to its other eye, it was still the disappearance of one of its important senses. And another split second later, it lost the sensation of its wings.

From the outside perspective, Bell was standing on the ground with his Lightning Shift before disappearing and leaving a trail of lightning toward the Black Dragon.

Once Bell reached the Black Dragon, he first took out its remaining eye before moving towards its back and cutting off both of its wings as he understood that the Dragon was already trying to escape, 'I know that there's an agreement that Ais-san has to deal the final blow, but I can't let it escape and sow even more destruction in the future!'

With the conviction to end it all, Bell jumped off from its back and went up 50 meters higher than the already falling Black Dragon. As he reached the zenith, the arcs of lightning traveling through his entire body disappeared and were replaced by flames.

Bell clenched his teeth and gathered his Magic Power and Ki at a single point inside his body to ignite it. His skin instantly turned red and the specially-made clothes and armor that were very resistant to heat started burning. Soon, the flames began to change their hue, from red to blue.

Reorienting his body so that he'd fall head first, Bell gathered his blue flames under his feet before they exploded and propelled him downwards. With the unassuming dagger in front of him, Bell dived toward the Black Dragon as if he were a meteor that came from the sky to slay the terrible monster.

Everyone watching felt this scene very surreal and soon, the meteor went straight through the Black Dragon, punching a large hole through its abdomen in an instant.
