Is it wrong to show off a bit of our power?

"Lante, don't judge someone because they're young. You yourself are strong for your age, can't the others be the same. Moreover, none of you guys stood a chance against any of them."

Artemis pointed at Kai and the company making her Familia members confused.

"Each one of the kids before you is enough to completely overwhelm our entire Familia." Artemis said. She looks at Kai and company with a serious expression.

'As expected of a goddess born for battle. She's able to gauge our power that easily.'

Kai praised Artemis in his mind.

"You guys are that strong?" Lante tremblingly asked scrutinizing Kai, Haruhime and Sophia from head to toe.

She is doubtful but she still considers the possibility.

She had seen strong young boy and girls back in Orario so it isn't really an exaggeration if someone so young is strong enough to completely overwhelm them.

To Lante's question and the curious gazes of the Artemis Familia members giving them Kai let out a heavy sigh.

He signaled for Sophia to show off a bit of her power.

Sophia nodded in compliance. She stood up from her chair extending her hand to the area where there's no one currently present.

{{ White Nova }}

Sophia mumbled in a low voice. And on the tip of her finger appeared a tiny magic circle containing a small marble size complete white sphere that radiated a monstrous amount of pure energy.

The Artemis Familia members were confused but the same cannot be said to their Goddess Artemis who has a terrified expression.

'I suspected them to be very strong from the beginning but not to this degree. This is just absurd. Such power in the hands of a mortal is unheard of.'

Artemis thought, her gaze was fixed on the stable white orb.

"That thing has enough power to completely obliterate a small city." Artemis mumbled.

Everyone heard Artemis's words and Artemis Familia members faces went pale.

And before they could recover from the shocked Sophia activated the spell manifesting a gigantic white beam of light the size of a small building completely erasing the hundred meter forested region up ahead.

Kai and Sophia smirk at the sight of the terrified and dumbfounded expressions the Artemis Familia members and Goddess Artemis had.

Lante even dropped the meat she's munching.

Haruhime on the other hand, though just as shocked as the others by the magic display as it was the first time she had witnessed Sophia unleashes one of her most powerful attacks; she literally has sparkling stars in her eyes.

'Such an attack? It's near the level of a pseudo level Arcanum released by a combat related god.' Artemis thought inwardly.

Only now did Artemis understand why her instinct is encouraging her to befriend the trio and avoid antagonizing them.

Such power in the hands of a human defies her very understanding of the mortal world.

What if Kai also did have such destructive might?

Looking at the confidence and pride emanating from Kai she suspected that it's very likely.

As for Haruhime, the little one is just as surprised but not as much.

Artemis concluded that Haruhime didn't have such destructive power.

However, she might be strong in another field, probably swordsmanship seeing that she dearly held and cared for the sword on her waist.

The sword on Haruhime's waist is just a rare weapon. She deeply took care of it because it was the very first weapon she had purchased from the shop, acquiring origin points on her own.

Gods and goddesses are restricted from using their Arcanum in the mortal world, they can only unleash up to 10% of their Arcanum in a last ditch effort to retaliate back before they are sent back to heaven.

There are unique circumstances where they could probably use their godly abilities without being sent back just like Hestia's Divine Perception and Artemis barrage of light arrows in a set area.

So long gods and goddesses didn't exceed a certain limit they're going to be just fine and won't be sent back to heaven but the same cannot be said to Kai and Sophia's magic.

Their magic can be considered to be a peak of level 10 in this world or might even have exceeded that category.

It is already strong enough to surpass the fire power of some non-combat related gods and goddesses even if they were to fully release their Arcanum.

Unlike gods and goddesses that need to be mindful when using their godly powers Kai and company can do as they pleased without anyone restricting them.

The implications of this matter astonished and terrified Goddess Artemis.

Still just like any other gods, Artemis descended on the mortal world to enjoy the pleasure of mortal life and seek the unknown.

For now she could only observe how the god-like mortals before her make use of their overwhelming powers.

…

…

…

"What great weather we're having today."

Kai said as he crushed the head of a dying wyvern using pure brute force.

The others gave him an incredulous look they have already grown accustomed to Kai absurd show off behavior.

It has been 2 months since they decided to accompany Artemis Familia roaming the lands clearing off all the wondering unlucky monsters they happened to encounter during our journey.

Right now they are in a secluded valley infested by powerful level 2 to 3 enhanced wyverns.

Kai and Haruhime's role is to slay all the wyverns and other monsters we encounter while Sophia, Goddess Artemis and the rest of Artemis Familia clean up their tracks.

Usually the Artemis Familia wouldn't dare take such a risk fighting enhanced mid level monsters but thanks to our reassuring presence and the training we imparted to them they now have the confidence.

The Artemis Familia now is a dozen times stronger than their counterparts two months prior and as of now each one of them has enough power to face an early level 3 adventurer without breaking a sweat.

Rethusa on the other hand already have the prowess to fight a early level 5 adventurer and as for Lante proving her genius she is now able to perform her own [Origin Breathing Technique] she created after her Goddess Artemis namely Moon Breathing Technique quite similar to the upper moon one of demon slayer.

Though their levels only increase once in the last two months their combat mastery, physics and talent have improved a lot.

This was due to the food Kai and Sophia cook for them held special effects and one of them is soul, spirit and physic purification erasing the impurities in all three aspects of existence.

Sophia decided to stay behind and assist Goddess Artemis and the others to make sure no accidents happened.

…

"Two monsters up front. Len and Anne take them." Lante's commanding voice boomed through the valley.

Len and Anne hearing the captain's command quickly make their move, they appeared before the wyvern confronts it head on to take its agro.

The wyvern roared, feeling annoyed, it raised one of its wings trying to swat the annoying flies before it.

Len was attacked by the wyvern. She responded by moving the heavy shield up front, it was comparable to her size blocking the monster's attack.

Seeing an opening she did a counter attack by smashing her morning star to the monster's wings making it bleed a bit.

This action of her angered the wyvern and it began to attack her with more aggression.

Seeing that Len was successful in getting the agro of the monster the long range attack party of Artemis Familia composed of archers and mages began their rain of projectiles targeting the wyverns eyes and wings.

Not paying attention to the others out of rage the monster did not notice the incoming danger until the damage had been dealt.

One of its eyes was out of commission the same can be said to both of its wings.

The monster screamed in agony feeling the pain, it tried to fly wanting to escape but it couldn't as its wings were riddled with dozens of holes.

Seeing no other way around its current predicament the wyvern decided to fight back at least to take out some of the hateful ants that tried to hunt it.

Unfortunately, for the wyvern such notion is nothing but wishful thinking.

The battle continued, it took the Artemis Familia members 10 minutes in order to bring down the enhanced level 3 wyvern.

Nevertheless at least no one was heavily injured or worse died.

They all sat down to the ground exhausted.

"Fighting an enhanced species and a level 3 at that is the worst." Lante mumbled using her sword as support for her to not fall down.

"You guys did good. To be able to take down such a monstrosity that quick and without any substantial damage, your efforts are praiseworthy." Sophia accompanied by Artemis and Rethusa praised the group.

"Everyone did great." Artemis added, satisfied to her Familia members performance. Though her deadly glare to a certain someone said otherwise.

"Yeah, you guys did great but Lante acted careless a couple of times and if it wasn't of Anglia saving her ass she would have been injured." Said Rethusa.

"Hey, why am I the only one being reprimanded."

"Because you don't listen to my orders."

*Ugh*

Lante looks down to the ground dejected.

She knew her Goddess and Captain wasn't picking at her and they were just concerned about her well being but sometimes she couldn't help herself from going overboard.

Lante is a bit of a battle maniac and everyone knew this.

And this tendency of her flared up after she created her own [Origin Breathing Technique] as her confidence rose greatly.
