Chapter 509 Two More Trying to Steal Food
[Successfully defeated the LV.9 Yamata no Orochi! Congratulations on obtaining 50 attribute points, an 8-star Serpent Orb, a Monster Fusion Device, a Water Dragon Serpent Scale, and a Serpent Fang!]
A panel that only he could see popped up in front of Roy, and he couldn't help but click his tongue. The item rewards were pretty good, but the attribute points had been severely reduced.
Considering that it took him less than two thousand seconds to kill the Yamata no Orochi, there's nothing to complain about.
All other items are materials from the Yamata no Orochi, used to craft equipment. Only the Monster Fusion Device (Legendary) is worth Roy's attention.
Monster Fusion Device: Perfectly fuse multiple monsters to create a brand new monster, or integrate monster materials into the body of a monster.
The Yamata no Orochi was a fusion monster created by the gods of the island nation, so it was perfectly reasonable for it to drop such a reward. Roy pondered that he would give it to the heretics.
Significantly enhance the combat power of a certain heretic!
Upon returning to Orario, the next step will undoubtedly be to conquer the dungeons. The intelligent monster, Heretic, might prove to be of unexpected use.
Now, Roy also has to deal with the island nation's gods.
Seeing Roy effortlessly annihilate the Yamata no Orochi, and how easily their trump cards crumbled, the island gods were left with nothing but horror and pallor!
Amaterasu, in particular, looked ashen-faced.
Before the other party could recover, Roy's figure traversed space and appeared silently in front of her.
The elven holy sword rested on the flawless, slender neck of Amaterasu. Roy did not exert any force; the invisible sharpness emanating from the sword's edge caused a thin yet dazzling red line to appear on her skin.
Compared to the slight pain in her neck, the unprecedented blasphemy ignited the wrath of Amaterasu. Her beautiful face, which was worshipped by the people of the island nation, was twisted and deformed, revealing humiliation and resentment.
As a deity and the supreme ruler of the island nation, she could cause the deaths of tens of thousands of people and the decline of powerful nobles with a single word.
No one is allowed to step on her head!
The goddess Amaterasu, like a demon fallen into an abyss, had lost all her holiness and dignity, unleashing a vicious curse and shrieking: "You lowly human, I curse you! You and those you care about will surely fall into eternal hell, suffering the burning flames for millennia—"
Seeing this, Roy chuckled, completely unconcerned about Amaterasu's curse. On the contrary, the more the other party acted this way, the happier he became.
She panicked! She panicked!
All Amaterasu was left with were empty words; she wanted to send the other party back to the heavens after they were completely desperate!
Roy sneered and swung the elven holy sword down.
The goddess Amaterasu's body was cleaved in two by the sword's edge. Her mouth was slightly open, and the vicious expression on her face froze instantly. She couldn't believe that Roy would actually dare to attack her. Her divine power was automatically activated, and a pillar of light shot straight into the sky.
Rumble! Rumble!!
Brilliant pillars of light rose continuously, piercing through the thick clouds and illuminating the dim sky with unparalleled splendor. The island gods, their expressions filled with astonishment, anger, and fear, disintegrated and transformed into countless firefly-like specks of light, which were then sent back to the heavens in a grand procession.
Its radiance was so intense that it illuminated the blood-stained battlefield and spread throughout the entire island nation.
Those who saw the pillars of light, regardless of distance or race, all raised their heads and looked up at the densely packed pillars of light in the sky, witnessing the grandest collective return of the gods in the history of the lower realm!
The magnificent sight of tens of thousands of gods returning to the heavens!
These include deities such as Amaterasu, Susanoo, Konohanasakuya-hime, and Bishamonten.
With the protective barrier shattered and the gods' protection gone, the Yamata no Orochi was slain by Roy, and the servants of the island nation's gods were plunged into a nightmare.
Rivers of blood!
The vast battlefield had transformed into a crimson swamp exuding a strong, metallic stench. Broken limbs, shattered entrails, terrified heads staring at the gray sky, and layers upon layers of contorted corpses—densely covered every inch of land within sight, with at least a conservative estimate of over 100,000 people.
The Orario Alliance suffered zero casualties!
The absolute disparity in strength instills a profound sense of despair; this is the system of divine grace.
As Asphie gazed at the battlefield nearing its end, she was overwhelmed with shock. Who could have imagined that just an hour ago, they were being besieged by the island gods, in a sorry state, and had been in grave danger several times?
Roy appeared out of nowhere, and the situation instantly reversed!
The Orario alliance they brought over annihilated the islanders who were hunting them with overwhelming force, and even the gods were sent back to the heavens.
Another half hour passed, and the battle was completely over. There were no more island gods or their retinues to be seen on the battlefield, and the silence was so relaxing.
The Orario alliance continued its advance, reaching the enemy's capital and subsequently taking over the entire island nation.
The coalition forces made a brief stop on the island to recuperate.
Having just defeated the black dragon and rested for less than a day, Roy resurrected Finn and the others, obtained Hermes's Eye Crystal, and immediately led them on a relentless assault on the island nation, bombarding the barrier relentlessly.
"Let's just sink the whole island! These disgusting bastards deserve it!"
"There are tens of millions of ordinary people above them."
"Who cares? The barrier protects the island nation, and they're beneficiaries too. Now that the situation has changed, shouldn't they pay the price? Enjoying the benefits without bearing any responsibility, how comfortable!"
In the central government's official residence, the Orario gods sat casually in the usually solemn room used for meetings, chatting amongst themselves. The outcome of their discussion would determine the fate of the island nation in the East.
While everyone else was working to defeat the black dragon, the island gods not only kept to themselves, but the dragon also imprisoned Haruhime, Kaguya, and Asifi.
This caused them unnecessary casualties.
Many of these people could have survived, which greatly angered the gods who were responsible for their deaths.
Outside the door were the island nation's nobles and officials, who were now extremely humble, fearing that any reaction they might make would displease the gods.
With their long-held faith crumbling, they cursed Amaterasu, Konohanasakuya, and other deities countless times in their hearts. These deities were sent back to the heavens, which made them feel better, but left them with a mess.
-
Roy did not participate in the final reckoning.
After finding Kaguya and Haruhime, the island nation's gods returned them to the heavens, and the remaining followers of the enemy—tens of thousands of people—were eliminated, and the revenge was over.
"Gurgle—gurgle—"
A faint swallowing sound rang out in the silent corner filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood. Ryu and Arisha carefully supported the critically injured Kaguya, feeding her the celestial medicine into her pale lips.
hum!
The moment the medicine slid down her throat, a jade-like radiance brimming with vitality appeared on Kaguya's body. Her hideous wounds healed at a visible speed, her charred skin peeled away, revealing smooth, jade-like pink skin underneath, and her physical and mental strength was restored.
As the emerald light slowly faded, a powerful life force had already permeated her limbs and bones. Kaguya's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes!
"Leon, Alicizer, Tione————"
Kaguya's reddish-brown eyes reflected the faces of her companions, and she uttered their names.
"Very good!"
Ryu, Alyssa, and the others, who had been holding their breath, breathed a sigh of relief, all their tension melting away like ice and snow.
"Alright, you idiot Kaguya, how long are you going to lie here? Get up!" Alisha gave Kaguya a light chop to the forehead.
Kaguya is, after all, a Level 5 adventurer with an amazing physique. As long as she has a breath left, she can quickly recover to about 70-80% health by drinking the Heavenly Elixir.
"I see!"
Kaguya climbed off Alisha's lap and, seeing the situation on the battlefield, quickly guessed the current predicament.
Amidst the girls' flurry of explanations, she confirmed the answer: the Black Dragon had been defeated! Suppressing her shock, Kaguya turned her head, her pupils reflecting the familiar figure not far away—Roy.
Roy was also watching from there. Trapped in the island, Kaguya had done her best to protect Haruhime, almost losing her life in the process.
His performance greatly satisfied him.
The former Astrea Familia members assessed his suitability as a leader, and this assessment was a two-way street; he was also evaluating Kaguya and the others.
Roy had never interacted with the former members of the Familia, but because of Astraea and Ryu, he had a basic level of goodwill towards them, and as long as they obeyed him, that was fine.
We don't expect new and old family members to be as close as sisters, but at least in emergencies they should stand together against external threats.
"Commander!"
A barely perceptible hint of affection flashed deep in Kaguya's eyes. Without saying a word, she walked forward, using all the strength she had just recovered to tightly wrap her slender arms around Roy's strong, steel-like waist, burying her bloodied cheeks in his firm, warm chest.
"Well done!"
Roy felt the slight tremor of the body in his arms, and the icy look between his cold brows melted away. He gently wrapped his arms around Kaguya's slender waist, silently providing support.
Time flowed by in their silent embrace.
"call!"
Kaguya greedily inhaled the familiar scent emanating from Roy, loosened her arms, and took a light, swift half-step back.
"Is this all there is to it?" Roy asked.
Kaguya's pretty face flushed slightly. As expected of the leader, he had already sensed her feelings. She pouted, "Don't mistake me for that idiot Rio!"
Immediately, a smile more dazzling than the sunlight bloomed on Kaguya's beautiful face.
Aside from Haruhime and Roy, probably no one could understand the meaning behind Kaguya's smile. Ryu, Tione, and Ariseh all thought it was a reunion embrace.
Haruhime remembered how Kaguya had encouraged her with her own feelings for Roy, and stuck out her tongue: Kaguya-senpai hid it so well, she was too good.
But she dared not say anything more.
After all, just a dozen minutes ago, she had been sternly warned by her own girls, with Thione and Lily staring at her with menacing, wary eyes.
That happened not long ago.
The corpses of the Takemikazuchi Familia members were collected and brought before Roy. Fortunately, the island gods, in order to intimidate Haruhime and Kaguya, did not seriously damage the corpses, and the effect was indeed remarkable. Haruhime's already unstable mind completely collapsed.
Roy, wielding the Tenseiga, saw something from another dimension: countless chains of the underworld were wrapped around the corpses of Takemikazuchi's Familia members, dragging their souls away.
Click! Click! Click!
Roy swung his sword, and the sharp blade of the Tenseiga tore through the chains of the underworld, allowing the souls of the Takemikazuchi Familia members to return and their bodies to burst forth with new life force.
Yamato, Kashima Sakura, and the others regained their color from their pale faces, and their hearts began to beat again.
The girls of the Astrea Familia marveled at the reversal of life and death; no matter how many times they saw it, it was always breathtaking. The Tenseiga could only revive each person once, and these people had already used it.
But they don't need to worry about this problem.
If their own girls were to perish, Roy would pull them out, even if it meant facing Hades again and fighting his way through the Underworld! The girls of the Familia were certain of this.
"Lord Roy————"
Seeing Yamato and the others resurrected, the most excited person was naturally Haruhime. After all, these people died because of her, and the deep guilt made her almost unable to lift her head.
Roy made up for her mistake!
Chunji's large, watery eyes were fixed on Roy beside her, glistening tears welling up in her eyes, her small nose slightly red and twitching. The love and feelings in her heart were no longer a subtle stream, but had transformed into a surging, molten lava that seemed about to break through the dam!
Driven by this affection, Chunji mustered her courage and threw her petite body into Roy's arms.
"Haruhime?" Roy was taken aback.
Chunji tiptoed, her long eyelashes trembling with tears, her breath sweet as orchids, and pressed her soft, flower-petal-like, and incredibly hot cherry lips onto Roy's slightly pursed lips.
"!!!"
Upon seeing this, the girls of the Astrea Familia held their breath and stared wide-eyed.
A sweet fragrance wafted towards him, the unique scent of the fox-girl, which delighted Roy.
That intense, unyielding admiration seemed to transform into tangible threads, binding her and Roy so tightly that they could never be separated again.
A few breaths later, their eyes met.
Haruhime clasped her hands tightly against her heaving chest, as if only in this way could she slightly suppress her heart, which was about to explode with gratitude and love. "Lord Roy, thank you, thank you so much!"
"You're welcome!" Roy said softly.
When Roy went to deal with the island nation's gods, the girls of the Astrea Familia could no longer tolerate it.
Tiony's almond-shaped eyes widened, like an enraged female leopard, and she charged forward in one swift step.
Haruhime was still immersed in the dizziness and bliss of that kiss. Tione's small hands gripped the back of her neck by her collar, and she gritted her teeth, "You lecherous fox, how dare you lay a hand on the Captain in front of us!"
The impulsive fox-girl then realized the seriousness of the situation; her "enemies," Tione and Daphne,
Anya and Lily surrounded her, their ferocious eyes seeming to want to devour her.
"I—I just—"
Chunji was dizzy from being shaken by Tione, her face flushed red like a ripe apple, the fur on her ears and tail bristling. She wanted to explain, but her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, drowned out by Tione's "roar" and the burning gazes of everyone. The courage brought by that impulsive kiss vanished, leaving only intense shame.
