Chapter 794 Little Experiment part 2

The beat of the wind that originated from Filvis as she floated up hit everyone and almost pushed them back. Kisuke, on the other hand, just silently observed the entirety of her transformation and thought, 'Since her own Magic Power isn't enough to support this transformation, she's subconsciously absorbing the ambient Magic Power. But at the rate she's going, she'll destroy her body within an hour. Oh well, I'll observe for now. Canceling this transformation should be easy enough since she doesn't have control over it.'

Loki, meanwhile, noiselessly clenched her fist, 'This is... But it's impossible... No God could descend with their original body.'

Filvis finished her transformation but she's not yet aware of what she looks like now. Instead, her mind was occupied by strange knowledge that intruded her head, 'Light Arts?'

Lifting her right hand, Filvis conjured a short spear made out of light, 'This... What is this power?'

Seeing her obvious confusion, Kisuke was about to answer her question but Loki beat him to it, "...Holy Power..."

The executives beside her and Filvis turned to her, "Holy Power?"

Loki hesitated before answering, "...Holy Power, the most basic source of power for Gods that are known as 'righteous' and a derivative of Divine Power." She then looked to Kisuke who had an amused and interested expression, "It's very weak, but there's definitely Holy Power within that light."

"That's true.", Kisuke nodded, "What you're using right now is just a basic Light Magic, however, different from normal Light Magic, it's a Magic derived from Holy Power, making it a lot stronger."

"Though what really makes it special isn't stronger Magic, but it being lethal to those who are 'evil'.", Loki added while glaring at Kisuke, "I'm very surprised that Filvis was able to manifest this kind of power, but I'm more curious about the cause of this all, which is the blood you've given to her. Whose blood was that and how were you able to acquire it? As far as I'm concerned, no God has ever descended with their original body which is the only possible source that I could think of right now."

By letting out her Divine Aura, she intimidated everyone else present except for Kisuke into silence.

Of course, Kisuke knew of her concerns but he can't really explain them in detail either. So to satisfy her curiosity, he answered, "The blood was not from a God but a servant of one. Thanks to her devotion, she was able to inherit a part of her God's power and I can assure you that she's doing fine. In fact, we're on good terms so your concerns are really unnecessary."

Loki became silent and Kisuke didn't further elaborate, immediately returning his attention to the dumbfounded Filvis who's still holding the spear of light, "Now, Challia-san, let's start round two."

"Eh? Ah! Right."

The second round didn't last ten minutes. Although Filvis' overall physical attributes became stronger and she can now use Light Magic with versatility, her skill didn't change. One could say that she became objectively weaker as she had a hard time adjusting her balance and fumbled with Magic.

Finally, Kisuke finished the spar by setting up a Magic Circle that would block Magic Power and siphoned it from Filvis, making her transformation cancel on its own due to its support collapsing.

The moment power left Filvis, she collapsed on the ground twitching, unable to move even a single muscle due to strain.

She tried to stand up but she struggled to even shift her arm, "Don't do it. This is the result of you going all out without your knowledge. Though something like this is easily avoidable if you're able to control your Magic to a certain degree.", advised Kisuke before asking Lefiya to pick her friend up again.

Due to Loki and Kisuke's strange conversation earlier, no one approached the latter this time thanks to the awkward atmosphere between them. The executives could tell that there's still something bothering Loki.

Kisuke would have followed up to this but the expected guest has already arrived at the gates of the Twilight Manor and at the same time, one of the Loki Familia members that are watching the perimeter came running in and wheezing, "C-Captain!!!"

Finn frowned and asked, "Calm down. What's wrong?"

"T-the Freya Familia! All of its top members are approaching the main gates and they are all armed to the teeth!"

Not just Finn, but the rest became alarmed. However, this isn't the end of it as another member came running in to report, "Captain! Our scouts have spotted the members of the Freya Familia all around us! From their estimation, there's a good chance that the entire Freya Familia was mobilized and is currently trapping us in!"

Finn clicked his tongue and hurriedly gave out instructions, "Everyone, suit up! Ask the scouts to contact Gareth and the others and inform them of the situation! After that, ask them to contact the Guild and our allies! Riveria, go wake up Bete and set up a barrier around the perimeter! As much as you can!"

But just as Finn was about to declare that they have to prepare for war, Loki interrupted him, "There's no need for all of that."

Finn and the rest of the executives were surprised and startled. They had thought that Loki has already given up, "Loki, even if the chance of us winning is slim, we won't be backing down."

"I'm not saying we're surrendering. What I meant was they are not here for us," Loki then pointed at Kisuke, "But for that guy."

"Huh?"

Loki ignored them for a moment and asked Kisuke, "We don't have to get involved, right?"

"But of course. If she's really here for me, then it's not your problem. Though a part of your property may be damaged because of potential confrontation and I apologize for that."

Waving her hand in dismissal, Loki replied while walking towards the mansion, "It's fine as long as you pay for the damages and inconvenience fees." She decided to not pursue the origin of the Holy Power for now and watch this interesting sight. In any case, she doubts she'd get more answers from him and the best way to get more information out of him is to escalate the situation that he'll be forced to show more of his cards.
