45

Freya had watched Bell's entire battle with the black Minotaur and even though it was the most exciting battle she had witness in a long time and enjoyed staring into Bell's soul which shined so bright and beautiful that it left her breathless she still felt a sort of emptiness in her heart.

Everything now just seemed gray, her dear Ottar is dead and she still couldn't believe that he was taken down so easily and fast, she knew Rean wasn't normal and that he was strong but to this extent?.

To the point of being able to kill her Level 7 Ottar with such ease? she just couldn't believe it but it was all her fault, she knew it was.

Her obsession blinded her and she had ended up provoking a monster in human skin, she now knows why Ouranos is protecting Rean or rather he's protecting the Guild from him by offering his aid and the Guild's to Rean.

She couldn't help but feel foolish about all of this, she should have listened to Ouranos's warning and to Rean's threat but Bell's is so bright and beautiful, she just had to have him.

It's too late for regrets now and with that thought in her head she shakely stood up from her bed and headed to her Familia main hall in Folkvalngr to prepare and bring her Familia to the tower of Babel, its time to prepare for war.

She knew that Rean would come for her to the tower soo enough and she wasn't going to run away of course, Rean won't stop her from getting what she wants, she was going to make sure to avenge her dear Otter and then when its all over she'll apologize to him.

But for now there were preparations to be made, Rean wont take long to come here and attack her and she needed her whole Familia with her.

Ouranos had been watching over Freya right now and her attitude made the old god shook his head in disappointment "that's hell you're walking into child... but you know that already don't you? foolish child you should have let things alone but that greed of yours has always been you biggest flaw, a flaw that completely overshadows that beauty you so proudly wield".

Fels walked into Ouranos's chamber and began to speak right away "I just gave Royman your order lord Ouranos, the Guild is already making a statement of support and letting the townspeople know what is about to happen, they're also evacuating the tower of Babel along with Hephaestaus and her Familia.

Ouranos nodded and then sat on his throne "well done old friend, Rean just killed Ottar the King and has returned home, I can't see what's going on in there but I'm sure that they're already planning a full blown attack on the Tower of Babel and the Freya Familia".

Fels nodded "so there's going to be war?".

Ouranos chuckled and shook my head "no my dear friend, war in between to opposing factions of equal power, no... this is going to be a massacre".

Fels nodded and looked down, lost in thought, Rean was an enigma to him, they way he acted and did things made him seem like some sort of natural disaster that would sweep away anything and anyone on its way, it couldn't be talk to, bargain with nor stopped.

It just brought indiscriminate destruction upon those that get in his way but there was a kindness in those eyes of his, a kindness that doesn't match the sheer level of power this young man has but that same kindness gave him a bit hope as well "lord Ouranos... do you think Rean can help the Xenos?".

Ouranos closed his eyes and stayed silent for a few seconds until he spoke up again "yes... and I'm sure that the Dungeon will at some point reveal her children to him, I am absolutely sure that Rean will help them".

Fels nodded and looked out a window towards the sky "I really hope he does lord Ouranos, I really do...".

Meanwhile Orario was in a complete a total panic, the Guild had began to inform everyone that someone was going to go to war with the Freya Familia and that the area around the Tower of Babel needs to be evacuated as soon as possible.

No one knew why or how it happened but someone was really challenging the strongest Familia in Orario and that not only shocked the townspeople of Orario but also intrigued them.

Who? and why? would someone challenge Freya and her Familia of all people, many Gods had already deducted that Freya was once again going after someone else's Familia member and that Familia wasn't going to allowed her to do so freely.

Many though the whole situation was a waste of time, many others were hoping someone finally stops Freya from taking loved ones away from them while others hoped that Freya and her Familia would all just die.

These Gods and adventurers were the ones who couldn't do anything to stop Freya from taking their Familia members from them and turned them into charmed puppets for her amusement, these Familia didn't want justice, they wanted revenge.

Loki was looking out of her office window and staring into the top of the Tower of Babel, she just received word of what was going on in Orario and she was shocked "who did you pissed off you horny woman...".

She knew who, she just didn't want to say it, there was only one person who's actions would mobilize the Guild to this extent, Rean Hayashi was once again on the move and the Guild were doing their best to support him and minimize damage.

The question is why? why go this far for an adventurer, one who's a rookie as far as she knew, it just didn't make any sense why the old man Ouranos would go this far for Rean.

Hephaestaus was busy evacuating everyone in her Familia from the Tower of Babel, she watched as her Familia members scramble to pack up all their wares and leave the shops as quickly as possible.

Hephaestaus herself was still pretty shocked when she received a message from the Guild telling her to evacuate her Familia from Babel, apparently someone was going to war with Freya and that on itself was very concerning.

She knew of who could it be and she will be visiting her aunt as soon as she's done here, so she can get answers to her questions then but for now she had to make sure that her Familia was as far away of the area as possible.

Soma was outside of his masion staring towards the Tower of Babel with a frown on his face, the news he received from the very Guild had caused him a fair amount of anxiety and somehow before he knew it he found himself outside and looking at the tower of Babel.

Suddenly Kaede stepped outside and walked over to to Soma's side "it's him isn't?".

Soma nodded "yes... I want you and the rest to stay inside of the mansion, no one gets out until this blows over..".

Kaede nodded "yeah... I don't want to ever find myself around that Rean Hayashi guy... I still have nightmares from that night".

Soma nodded in agreement to Kaede's words, he himself has had plenty of restless nights but deep down he was somewhat thankful to Rean since he has found a new thing to cherish, still he wouldn't want to meet with him if he could help it.

Ishtar was in her throne room laughing in amusement from the new she just received, the fact that someone is going to war with Freya excited her "it serves the stupid bitch right! I hope you suffer in you last moments Freya! hahaha!".

Ishtar was immensely happy that someone besides herself was willing to show that arrogant bitch Freya how pathetic she was, perhaps she should sent a gift to this Rean Hayashi?.

Ishtar grinned and laughed again in amusement as a fun idea ran through her mind, if Freya is taken care of, she would no longer have a need for that girl anymore might as well give her away as gift.

Of course as long as Rean makes Freya suffer and entertains her.

Hermes frowned ad he stared up toward the Tower of Babel, he had been very busy with delivering the Guild official letters to many Familias and the townspeople but this entire situation has him rather perplexed.

When Royman called him to the Guild and had told him to deliver the messages he did it by saying that it was a direct order from Ouranos himself and that had him very curious so he asked Royman what it was about.

The arrogant elf shrugged and only said that Ouranos was once again supporting Rean Hayashi who apparently will be going to war against Freya and the proceeded to rant about how this only gave him even more work to deal with but at that point Hermes ignored him and walked out of his office.

He immediately delivered all the messages and spread the news in hopes that someone might know something about all of this but no one knew why Rean would declare war on the Freya Familia one of the strongest and biggest Familia in Orario.

The only thing he could think off was that Freya had done something to someone in the Hestia Familia and that worried him, he hopes that nothing has happened to Bell.

Many of his plans needed Bell to be at his best and continue to get stronger but there was nothing he could do about this situation until more news reach him, still there was this anxiety in his heart that just kept growing and growing.

In the Hostess of Fertility the maids were very concerned and anxious, especially Mama Mia who had a frown on her face, she knew what lady Freya does when someone catches her attention and it was the reason she left her Familia to open this tavern.

She was of course eternally thankful to lady Freya for the chance to grow stronger and her help in making her dream come true but that didn't mean she was blind to her flaws and the way she pissed off other Familias but still, never in her live she would have guessed that she someone would actually declare war on her.

To make things worse it had to be Rean who Lady Freya pissed off, she knew from the very beginning that the young man was dangerous and despite his kind and friendly demeanor there was something feral, almost Primal within him.

But she knew that despite this sense of danger she gest from Rean that he himself was a good guy, she could tell with the way he treats Ryuu and how he interacts with his family including the Pokemon.

Speaking of which, Ryuu had already left to go to Hearth Mansion, she had been worried because she knew something serious must have happened for Rean to want to deal with Freya so as soon as they got the Guild Message she left to go see what had happened.

Anya was also worried and anxious so she left with Ryuu to explain somethings to Rean and hopefully convince him to spare her brother, Mama Mia was sure it wouldn't take too much to convince him since Rean seems to considers Anya a friend

But still this entire situation was getting out of control, everyone in Orario was running home and locking themselves inside their houses to wait for the storm to pass over but Mama Mia was left feeling quite wistful "I hope that whatever you did to piss him off was worth your life lady Freya...".

With that last comment out in the open Mama Mia began to herd her employees towards the rooms upstairs it was time to close the tavern and wait for all of this mess to end.

Bell, Lili and I teleported directly into the living room of the Hearth Mansion, both Lili and Bell immediately sat on a couch and breathe out easily now that they can relax and rest.

Sakuya most have sensed us because she appeared out of no where and the raised an eyebrow at Bell and Lili before walking up to me.

She frowned when she looked into my face and then reach to grab it between her hands and stared into my eyes "who has made you angry Rean?".

I smiled at my super maid and lean in to give her a small kiss, she returned it and afterwards I rubbed my cheek against hers "I'll explain in a bit, can you go get the girls and Hestia?".

Sakuya let go of my face and nodded, she then turn around and immediately left to go get the girls and our Goddess meanwhile I sat in the couch and sighed.

I was still pretty pissed at what had happened, I knew Freya was going to do something but I was hoping she wouldn't after I hit her with Curse, that was a mistake on my part but I also didn't want to just kill her off.

But it seems like when it comes to things like these or at least when I'm dealing with people like Freya it's best to get rid of them, but doing things like that opens up a mew whole can of worms.

I also keep forgetting the fact that my sole presence in any world changes things and quite often it changes them quite aggressively, the fact that the Soma Familia jumped Bell and almost killed killed was the first red flag that everything had changed and now we had to deal with a whole herd of red Minotaurs and a black one as well.

This is getting out of control, it's like the world changed difficulties from normal to Bell must die mode, I have to be on the ball with all of this or someone will really die and I refuse to let that happen.

This was the reason I even began to train Bell to begin with, I and the girls will eventually leave and I wanted to leave in peace knowing that Bell could handle anything that happens once were gone but I underestimated just how much my actions affect whatever world I'm in.

I have made the Hestia Familia into a famous and well know Familia monw and that of course would attract all sorts of attention, bad and good.

I can't mess around anymore and I can't be to overconfident either *it's time for me to evolve into a Dragon God... I wanted to wait and enjoy having some more fun in this world, I like teaching and training...I was having fun messing around in my forge and spending time with all the girls and Kunou but I need to grow stronger... I need to have all of my power and abilities available to me, that way I could do whatever I want without worrying about the consequences...*.

[It's going to be fine Rean, your not alone in this! you have me, Excalibur, the girls and the Pokemon! you don't need to handle everything nor carry it alone.]

*Your right Astraea... we'll do this together but first let's deal with Freya, if we leave her alone she might escalate the way she messes around with Bell, she has to be stopped and afterwards I'll work towards my next evolution".

*Master! I'll help you with anything you need you can't count on your ever loyal weapon Excalibur!*.

I smiled after I heard Excalibur's words of encouragement and the feeling of love she sends through my soul *thank you Excalibur, and you too Astraea*.

I my chest lit up with positive emotions from both Excalibur and Astraea causing me to smile, eventually everyone gathered in the living room and everyone took a seat on the couches, so as soon as I saw everyone get comfy I decided to start "I'll make this quick since I have a few things to prepare, I decided to deal Freya and her entire Familia...".

Serafall, Yasaka and Hestia narrowed their eyes, they knew I wouldn't do something like this unless I was pissed off or I no longer wanted to deal with someone's stupidity.

YunYun and Wiz being adventurers immediately turned towards Bell and Lili and from watching the condition of their clothes they could guess what exactly happened to push me to this decision.

Sakuya already knew so she silently began to serve tea for everyone while Kunou tilted her head trying to figure why I was going to be dealing with someone, she's smart enough to understand that Freya must have done something to make me want to deal with her plus she is the daughter of a faction leader so she was very aware of situations like these.

Asia nodded, she had heard a lot from Freya from different people around town and not many had good things to say about her, the fact the I wanted to deal with her was a big sign to her that she was as bad as the rumors made her out to be.

Hestia sighed but nodded to herself and then decided to ask me a question "what happened? I know that Freya is after Bell but you already cursed her and warned her about messing with us, don't tell me that horny Goddess ignore it?".

I nodded and then turned my head towards Bell who nodded at me "apparently she had Ottar train an entire herd of Minotaurs to the point of turning them into red enhanced monsters, one of them was even a black Minotaur".

Hestia's eyes widen in shock as she stood up from her spot on the couch "what!? is she insane!? why would she do something as dangerous and stupid as that?".

I closed my eyes and sighed, in all honesty Freya's behavior makes no sense to me, even when I was watching the anime her behavior seemed rather unhinged and obssesive "well it seems like this was her way of trying to help Bell level up and grow stronger or at least I think so... I honestly don't know what goes inside her head".

Hestia frowned and then turned towards Bell and Lili "are you both okay? I know both of you are strong but a herd of Minotaurs is enough to give level six adventurers trouble and these were red enhanced monsters...".

Bell and Lili smiled at Hestia, Bell then fist pump "were fine, I sent Lili to go get help while a held them back, luckly it seems like they were content with fighting me one on one and learn about me otherwise I might not have lasted as long against them".

Hestia nodded and sat back on the couch while she tiredly sighed " and who did you ask for help Lili?".

Lili smiled "I found Tione, Tiona, Lefiya and Ais walking round the middle floors and they immediately went to help Bell but Ottar got in our way... luckly Rean showed up".

Hestia turned her head towards me and I nodded "yes Ottar is dead, I wasn't in the mood to play around so I ripped out his throat...".

Bell and Hestia winced at the way I said I killed Ottar, Hestia then looked up "so Freya doesn't have her Level 7 adventurer anymore... that is a major blow to her power, Rean are you sure you want to do this?".

I opened my eyes and nodded "yes, I usually let things alone but Freya is obsessed with Bell, I made the mistake of not dealing with her like I should and then she does this? no we can't afford to let her do as she pleases anymore, who knows what she'll do next".

Hestia looked down and seemed lost in thought for a few seconds before nodding to herself and then turned to look into my eyes "very well, you do what you think is best Rean, I'll support you!".

I smiled at Hestia and nodded at her "thank you Hestia, your the best! now why don't you go and update Bell's and Lili's Falna while a go and speak with my Pokemon?".

Hestia nodded and then she left with Bell and Lili, Serafall turned to look at me and smiled "anything you need us to do?".

I smiled at Serafall and then looked around to see all the girls who were also smiling at me letting me know that they're willing to help me at any moment "I had Mew go and spy on Freya while I came here, she's been telling me via telepathy what she's been up to, so I know that she's now gathering her entire Familia to the Tower of Babel, so I need you girls to make sure not one of her Familia escapes, I don't want to deal with any avengers".

The girls nodded and immediately left to get ready while I got up and went to the backyard to go meet with my Pokemon.

I soon arrived into the clearing where Bell trains all the time and my Pokemon sensing that something was going on were already waiting for me, all of the growled their names and grin at me in excitement.

Of course I couldn't help but to smile at my friends and as I walked up to them I immediately sought to give each one a pat on their head of course this is easier said than done because I have a lot of Pokemon.

I think this is the first time I really noticed just how many Pokemon I have and in all honesty left me in a bit of awe, as a kid I've always imagine what would be like to have a lot of Pokemon and go to all kinds of adventures with them.

I always used to dream about playing with them and training them, ever since I played my very first Pokemon game I had always had this dreams of mine and that never changes even when more and more Pokemon were added.

Now seeing them here with me and always at the ready to help me with anything always leaves me with a big smile in my face "guys, we're going to war!".

The Pokemon roared to the sky and the entire area inside the wards shook from their sheer battle cries, while I grin in excitement myself, the people of Orario will bear witnessed today how terrifying my Pokemon can be.

A few minutes later Ryuu appeared into the clearing and the moment she saw me she ran up to me, I was a bit surprised when she hugged me tightly but I immediately hugged her back "Ryuu? what's wrong?".

Ryuu looked up to me "I heard that you were going to war with the Freya Familia and I was worried something hsd happened to you or the girls but Sakuya let me in and told me what happened, I'm glad Bell and Lili are alright".

I softly caress Ryuu's cheek and smiled at her, I sometimes forget that Ryuu has had a very sad past, she lost everyone she ever cared about once so of course she would be afraid for something to happen to me or the girls "Ryuu I want you to come and live with us okay?".

Ryuu stared into to my eyes, the girls have been trying to convince her to move in with us but she j

had always said no because she wants to keep working in the Hostess of Fertility "can I still work with Mama Mia?".

I chuckle at her question but nodded nonetheless "of course you can and after I'm done dealing with Freya you and I will have a talk, there's a lot I have to tell you about myself and the girls okay".

Ryuu nodded and then leaned in to give me a soft kiss which caught me by surprise a little since this is the first time Ryuu and I have kissed, we usually just hold hands or hug but never kissed, as far as I knew it was because elves as a whole were very aloof when it comes to love.

But it seems like Serafall and Yasaka have been successful in corrupting Ryuu more than I thought, Ryuu then smiled at me "Rean, Anya is outside by the gate, can you let her in? she wants to talk to you about something important".

I raised an eyebrow but nodded and with a snapped of my finger I added Anya to the wards, not a hard thing to do since she's closed by and I already was very familiar with her energy signature.

A few Minutes later Anya appeared into the clearing and seems to be running at full speed towards us, just by looking at her worried face I could tell that whatever she wanted to talk about was very important to her.

Anya stopped right in front of me and instantly began to speak "Rean nya! are you really going to go to war with lady Freya nya?".

I nodded at Anya "yes, she has been coming after Bell for a while now and she has put not only his life in danger but of other people as well, she's too dangerous to be left alone and I'm not willing to risk her doing something far more dangerous than what she did today".

Anya looked down and frowned, she stayed like that for a few seconds before looking up at me with most serious look I have ever seen on her face "Rean nya... my brother is in the the Freya Familia".

I frowned and look to the side *damn I forgot about that... shit I don't want to let any of them live, with how obsessed all of them are with Freya it would mean that any survivors would be plotting against us none stop and I don't want to have to deal with that".

Anya must have noticed my annoyance in the situation because she grabbed hold of my hand with both of hers causing me to turned towards her "I know I'm asking for a lot nya... but please don't kill my brother".

I turned my gaze towards Ryuu who nodded at letting me know that it was up to me, I turned to look at Anya who looked to be on the verge of tears, I sighed and shook my head "...alright I will spare your brother but know that I'm going to have to make sure he doesn't come after me or my Familia, I can't leave him just leave him alone".

Anya smiled at me and began to cry "thank you nya! I knew you were a good person Rean!".

I huffed at her comment but I still patted her head, I'll let her brother live but I will make sure he won't come after me or anyone else for that matter "sure, sure just know that if he comes after us I will have no other choice than to deal with him okay?".

Anya nodded and then smiled as she enjoyed my headpating while I turned my gaze towards Ryuu who smiled at me.

A few minutes passed by and the girls began to gather in the clearing, Bell, Lili and Hestia also appeared but with them came Hephaestaus for some reason, I raised an eyebrow towards Hestia because I know I didn't add her to the wards but because this is her homebase I also taught Hestia how to add people.

I don't mind that Hephaestaus is here, she's a pretty cool Goddess in my opinion but I would like some kind of heads up, Hestia sheepishly smiled at me and I couldn't help but to shake my head in amusement.

In anycase it was time for me to lay out the plan "okay, there's a bit of a change in the plan so listen up okay?".

The girls nodded while Hephaestaus, Ryuu and Anya stood to the side and listened "alright first Anya has asked to spare her brother who apparently is part of the Freya Familia, the Pokemon already know to knock him out and bring him to me but if any of you catch sight of him trying to escape catch him, Anya what's his name?".

Everyone turned their head towards the sole cat girl in the clearing which must have made her nervous becaused she jumped a bit and began to fidget but Ryuu patted her back to encourage her to speak up which worked "h-his name is Allen Fromel".

I nodded at Anya in thanks "so we need to capture Allen Fromel alive, I'll be making sure he never comes after us fafter we catch him okay?".

Everyone nodded and smiled at Anya letting her know that they didn't mind doing this for her, I'm not surprised though, Anya along the rest of the of the maids of the Hostess of Fertility were our friends and we take care of those we care about in this family.

I then continued on "Sakuya, I want you to go with Ryuu and help her with whatever she needs, she's going to be moving in with us".

Everyone including the Pokemon cheered because Ryuu was finally moving in which made Ryuu blush, Anya giggled at her friend but she glad that Ryuu was very well loved by Rean and everyone else, I went on "okay next I'll expand the area around the Tower of Babel to make space for the big Pokemon while also raising a giant ward surrounding the area as well, Serafall please take the girls and surround the ward, if anyone from the Freya Familia tries to escape kill them, the same if anyone tries to go in and help them okay?".

The girls nodded and smiled at me letting me know that they're ready then I turned towards Hestia, Bell and Lili "you guys wait here and wait for us okay?".

Bell and Lili nodded while Hestia walked up to me and gave me a warm smile "Rean, take care of yourself okay and I want you and the Pokemon home by dinner".

I chuckled at Hestia and patted her head "yes mom~ I'll make sure everyone is back for dinner".

Hestia brightly smiled at me while Hephaestaus giggled at her, I then turned towards Hephaestaus "hello, I wished we could met during better circumstances but I'm happy to meet you Hephaestaus".

Hephaestaus raised an eyebrow but smiled "oh? you know about me?".

I nodded and picked up Hestia by her armpits and held her up like a cat "this one told me about you, plus from a Blacksmith to another I can say it's an honor to meet you".

Hephaestaus grinned "ah! a fellow Blacksmith! then it's nice to meet you and a would like to see some of your work".

I grinned at her and took out the sword and spear I had let Tione and Tiona borrow during the Monster Feria, Sakuya stepped up to me and took them from my hands and then walked up to Hephaestaus to hand them to her.

I nodded and smiled at my super maid who smiled back at me while Hephaestaus stared at my weapons with wide eyes fell of shock "what? but how?...".

I chuckled at the way she was gaping at the very simple weapons I made "those are some of my early creations, I have improved far more now, when I get back I'll take to my forge".

Hephaestaus nodded but still kept gaping at the weapon which made Hestia giggle, suddenly Mew appeared above me and I looked at her "so she's ready?".

Mew floated down and nodded at me, I smiled at her and then scratch behind her ear which made her thrill her name and purr "then it's time, let's go to war guys!".

My Pokemon roared into the sky and the area was again shook while I summoned Excalibur into my hand and grinned, it was time to go to war.

Freya was once again sitting on her throne watching over the city when she suddenly winced and gasped in pain, she gritted her teeth while she looked up ahead, suddenly she felt a massive amount of mana flare up and watched as a massive ward was raised above and around the Tower of Babel.

She gaped at the sheer level of magic she just watched be performed but then her eyes widen in even further shock when she watched the area inside the ward expand as if Space itself was clay, she couldn't believe what she was watching.

But then Rean finally appeared or rather teleported inside the wards but he wasn't alone, no with him werr the Pokemon but Freya stared in disbelieve as she watch Pokemon she hasn't seen before, massive and very powerful looking but the power these beings held within their bodies was the most astonishing thing.

Freya felt like she was in front the very forces of nature and the universe and for the first time ever she felt fear "oh... this is bad...".

Freya looked down and noticed that Rean was staring at her way bellowed the tower, she watched as Rean grinned at her and pointed his sword at her.

War had come to Freya and her Familia but they aren't ready for what's to befall them, they're about to find out what happens when you anger a dragon and Pokemon Trainer and they sure are going to regret ever doing so.
