Chapter 188: Preparing to Settle Accounts Afterward!
"Is it over?"
At this moment, Finn and the others still found it hard to believe.
A monster had invaded the surface, yet it had been dealt with just like that. Its attacks had been massive, and on the day of the Monster Feria, it had caused a large number of casualties.
It could even cast powerful magic, yet it had still been solved so easily?
Bang!
"Ah!"
A roar rang out, and a blood-covered figure fell in front of Ethan and the others.
It was a white-haired man with injuries all over his body, though none of them were fatal. Judging from his state, whoever attacked him had clearly left him alive on purpose.
"Revis, you betrayed Her. You will be severely punished."
"Punished? You should say that to my new master."
Tap, tap.
Revis walked over from nearby with a greatsword in hand. Her expression did not waver at all, as if none of this had anything to do with her.
"Revis?"
Ethan looked at Revis and frowned slightly. The task he had given her was to protect Artemis and the others, since they did not have much strength right now.
"Master."
Facing Ethan, Revis lowered her head. She knew she had disobeyed his order.
"You're the one who made Revis betray Her? I'm telling you, you—"
Bang!
Before he could finish, his head was blown apart. Ethan had no patience to listen to his barking. This man was only a lunatic.
Olivas Act, a creature serving the corrupted spirit and a member of Evilus. Many years ago, after his god was sent back to heaven, he nearly died in the Dungeon, only to be saved by the corrupted spirit and turned into a monster-like being.
He was the corrupted spirit's guardian and the tamer of the man-eating flowers.
Originally, he had been a special individual similar to Revis, but she had never acknowledged him. In the original story, he also died after Revis took his magic stone.
Unlike Revis, Olivas worshiped the corrupted spirit that gave him new life as a god. He was even willing to give everything for it, like a crazed believer.
"The Freya Familia's people have already rushed over. Goddess Freya sent me to help you."
"Ottar or Allen?"
"Allen."
The fastest adventurer in the city, and as the vice-captain of the Freya Familia, Allen could naturally protect Freya's safety.
However, Freya probably had not expected today's battle to end so quickly either.
"Master, Olivas had ties with the Ishtar Familia. This 'seed' was brought to the surface by people from the Ishtar Familia."
"The Ishtar Familia?"
"Yes."
Revis did not avoid Finn and the others, so they naturally heard everything.
They did not know much about the Ishtar Familia, but in Orario, the Ishtar Familia's reputation was not good. Its members were mostly all Amazoness women.
They were a group of extremely wild women. People like Tiona and Tione were special exceptions.
"Since they did something like this, I can be a little rough, right?"
"Hm?"
Finn raised his brow when Ethan suddenly spoke toward a nearby corner.
The next moment, a black-robed figure walked out from the darkness. One of his hands seemed to be made of a special magical metal, and Finn could not see through him at all.
"The Ishtar Familia has ties to Evilus and even brought such a dangerous monster into Orario. On the day of the Monster Feria, they caused a monster attack and led to heavy casualties. Therefore, they are to be subjugated."
"So I've received permission?"
"Yes. However, Ouranos has one sentence for me to pass on to you."
"What sentence?"
"Know when to stop."
"Know when to stop? Heh."
Hearing that, Ethan scoffed. He had never known what it meant to stop at the right time.
He had already spared Ishtar once. Through Freya, he had taken Haruhime directly from her, knowing that at this stage, Ishtar did not dare fall out with the Freya Familia.
Originally, he thought she would wait until the next full moon before acting against Haruhime.
Who could have expected Ishtar to join hands with Evilus during the Monster Feria and cause trouble? And this incident was not minor at all.
At the crowded Monster Feria, a monster attack had caused many innocent people to be killed.
"Go back and tell God Ouranos that I will 'know when to stop.' However, I don't know if my standard matches his."
"I will pass it on."
Fels looked deeply at Ethan and did not say anything more. He simply chose to leave.
His message had already been delivered. Besides, Fels had no good feelings toward the Ishtar Familia either, so he did not think there was any problem with what Ethan might do.
Fels naturally understood Ouranos's thinking. Under the immense pressure of Orario, most adventurers were men, and that pressure could easily breed trouble.
The existence of the Entertainment District gave those men a place to release their desires.
Under such conditions, many problems could be avoided. Because of that, the Entertainment District was very necessary for Orario.
But knowing that was one thing. Many of the things Ishtar did in the dark were unspeakable.
Now that they had been exposed, it was only natural for them to be settled.
Tap, tap, tap.
A crisp sound rang out.
Then Goddess Freya walked over like she was taking a casual stroll, with a dutiful guard beside her.
"It seems you've already solved everything, Ethan."
Freya had seen everything just now with her "eyes," especially the final Golden Theater. It had truly surprised her.
After all, that ability did not exist in Ethan's Falna.
In other words, Ethan's power and abilities might have surpassed the system of "Falna." That made her extremely excited.
Because of that, her love for Ethan grew even deeper. After all, he was a special case that might not appear even once in a thousand years.
"Freya-sama, I'm afraid I'll need your help this time."
"Oh? You need my help?"
"That's right. This incident was caused in secret by Goddess Ishtar and Evilus. I'm not worried about the adventurers of the Ishtar Familia, but that goddess is not someone I can attack."
"You want me to act?"
"Yes. After all, someone who can't read the situation and keeps jumping out to disgust you should be dealt with early."
"Hahaha. That's the first time I've heard it put that way, but it is quite fitting."
Looking at the person she adored, Freya was clearly treating him specially.
