Chapter 32: Complete Victory

"Great Job out there Ingvild"

Justice says with a wide smile before tapping Ingvild's shoulder as soon as she came back.

"I was just lucky, if they had information about the limit of my abilities, I could've loses to them'

Ingvild says before taking off the heavy anklets and bracelets on her limbs as she stretched out her body to remove the stiffness that she felt from having those heavy accessories on.

"You should really train your body or else... you might not be able to satisfy Lucias in bed"

Justice grinned while looking at Ingvild who froze in her tracks from hearing her words.

"... Please don't make unnecessary remarks"

She said after a long pause with a extremely flushed face before running away from the entrance of the arena.

"She's acting, weird"

A certain black haired commented as she blended in the shadows perfectly that no one else but Ingvild and Justice have noticed her presence.

"Oh Kuro, don't worry she's having a hard time expressing her true desires"

Justice says before casually wearing the anklets and bracelets on her limbs as she maxed out the amplification of the weight of each accessories.

"Much better"

She grinned before jogging on the spot, causing the floor to break from the amount of weight being pressed on it on each step.

Slowly, Justice got the hang of the weights on her limbs causing her to accurately manipulate the weight on her body towards her fist as she punched the concrete wall of the arena, causing a large dent on the wall as the colosseum shook from the force of her punch, alerting the crowd from the sudden earthquake causing the normal citizens to stand up and tries to ran out of the colosseum in a panick.

"DO NOT WORRY, ONE OF THE CONTESTANTS WAS JUST TESTING HER STRENGTH SO EVERYONE CALM DOWN"

One of the members of the Ganesha Familia shouted to calm the crowd but his words only caused a larger stir among the audience from the shock brought by his words.

"T-testing?"

"Y-you got to be kidding me, t-testing? with that strength!?"

"W-Who?"

The crowd chattered, drowning the entire colosseum from their whispers.

"QUIET!!!"

Ganesha shouted loudly, causing his voice to echo throughout the arena, silencing everyone as he announced the start of the next round.

"Representing the Hestia Familia is the woman who shattered the pride and esteem of many adventurers, the woman who destroyed multiple establishments from various familias, LET US MEET THE IRON FIST, JUSTICE"

"OH!! JUSTICE!!"

"JUSTICE!!"

"JUSTICE!!!"

Ganesha introduced causing a large stir among the crowd as they all shouted her name in unison from excitement and... anger.

"... Justice..."

Ingvild angrily glared at Justice with a ominous smile on her face while clenching her hands in anger.

"What? It's all part of the plan, remember?"

"I don't remember formulating a plan that involves making an enemy out of all the Familias in this town..."

Ingvild said with a wry smile on her face, earning her a shrug from Justice as she entered the arena with a confident smile on her face.

"Interesting..."

"Please don't get influenced by her Kuro"

Ingvild sighed in exhaustion as she sat down on the seats available on their side of the entrance, watching Justice perform a wild entrance with a worried expression on her face.

"Please don't kill them, Justice"

-with Justice- 

"Facing her are the core members of the Loki and Freya Familia!! A BATTLE OF THE CENTURY OF THE WORLD'S STRONGEST ADVENTURER AGAINST THE STRONGEST TEAMS. LET'S GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE!"

Ganesha shouted in excitement while pointing at the other entrance of the arena as dozens of lvl 6-7 adventurers came out with a nervous look on their face unlike the representatives from before.

"Hoh? They're cautious unlike those idiots from before"

Justice muttered before punching her open palm with her right hand close to her chest, causing a powerful wind to blast through her opponents and the audience shocking them from her raw power.

"Don't tell me... from before..."

"N-No way..."

"T-They're going to get killed"

The crowd muttered in shock as they stared at the silver haired girl standing inside the arena. Different from the strength she displayed when she was facing the adventurers from different Familias before.

"LET THE ROUND START!!"

As soon as the round started, Justice immediately disappeared from her position before appearing behind Finn as she launched a right hook on his torso, launching him towards the wall.

"W-What!?"

Rivera muttered in shock before getting kicked at her stomach, crashing her against the wall before fainting from the extreme pain brought by Justice's attack along with Finn as their body laid dropped unconscious on the ground.

[Pain Amplifier (lvl maxed) - Multiplies the amount pain experienced by the user's opponent by 2x, 5x, 10x, and 100x without placing excess force or magic into the user's attack]

[Status: Restrained]

[Restrained - due to the user's actions of blocking his/her energy/mana circuits, the user's Physique will decrease by 60%. All damage inflicted will decrease by 80%]

"Don't worry, I held back a lot"

Justice smiled before placing her hands on the ground and spinning her body around to perform several kicks on the mages around her with minimal strength, launching them in the air, causing them to faint as soon as they made contact with the ground or the wall of the arena.

Ais seeing her companions get disposed by Justice in an instant, charged towards her while brandishing her sword while Ottar from the Freya Familia followed her and attacked Justice as she was still in a vulnerable position.

Ais slashed her sword towards her body at great speed, aimed at her vital spots while Ottar swung down his Supreme Black Sword down at Justice.

Justice quickly shifted her position as she stood up from the ground, catching Ais sword before breaking it into pieces as her other hand caught Ottar's sword at ease before kicking him on his chest to make him let go of the giant sword in his hand.

"I always wanted to use a sword"

Justice muttered before swinging it like a blunt weapon towards Ais, throwing her up in the air before crashing against the ground as she rolled on the floor, reducing the force transferred to her body from Justice's attack.

The remaining magicians fired their magic at her location to distract her from the incoming Bete and Gareth charging at her location.

Justice transferred all of her weight into the sword before swinging up in the air, blocking all incoming spells and projectiles aimed at her before smashing the sword against Bete, burying him to the ground.

"Am I using the sword wrong? How come when Lucias use the sword it's more accurate and sharp?"

Justice casually muttered before launching a straight punch against Gareth's face as she dodged the incoming attack from Ottar at ease.

A black haired boy with cat ears silent ran towards her back before thrusting his spear at her several times at incredible speed.

"You must be Allen Fromel, if I'm not mistaken"

Justice said while dodging the spears at equal speed with an amused expression on her face.

"So what?" (Allen)

"Nothing... It's just that, you were one of the candidates handpicked by Ingvild"

"What?"

He muttered in confusion before recieving a hook above his head, burying his head on the ground.

"Sorry but I'm in a hurry you see"

Justice crouched her body, dodging Ottar's punch towards her head before grabbing his legs with her bare hands, lifting him up in the air and smashing him against the ground several times before getting thrown against the concrete wall of the arena.

"You're quite tough for remaining conscious after receiving several attacks from me... The only weaker being that is able to do that is Lucias so... congrats"

Justice gave him a thumbs up before grabbing a powerful wind blade launched at her direction with her bare hands as she threw it back to its caster.

[Redirect (lvl maxed) - Redirect the direction of any spells aimed at the user towards another target. (Cooldown: 1 minute)]

"She's holding back... a lot"

Kuro muttered as she watched the one sided battle from the entrance along with Ingvild.

"Well... She can't go all out or else those adventurers will explore inside out from her raw strength alone... We still need them to fulfill our purpose for being in this town"

"Purpose?"

Kuro she asked while titling her head, looking at her with curiosity visible in her eyes.

"... You wouldn't understand, Kuro just remember that we need more members in the Familia"

"More members?"

Kuro asked as a sudden image of a woman with golden hair and eyes was pictured inside her head... a woman that has same appearance as the unconscious girl inside the arena.

"I can help"

"Hmm? Do you know anyone, Kuro?"

"Yes, she is the person that is together with the human that injured me in the past"

"Who?"

"... I forgot their name but I think... Aria is her name?"

"Aria? You mean Aria Wallenstein"

Ingvild asked in shock while staring at Kuro who was sitting beside her.

"Yes... If you have more of those marbles, the marble you fed me to heal my other eye... I think we can revive the human that was with her"

"We do have more... do you know where they are?"

Ingvild asked with anticipation written on her face as she took out a bottle of green pills from her small bag.

"Yes... I preserved the body of the humans for food... so he is inside the cage where I was sealed in... Both of them are inside the deepest floors of the labyrinth"

"... Deepest floors... Kuro, can the 3 of us clear the deeper floors of the dungeon?"

"Yes, you are powerful enough to wipeout all of the monsters within the dungeon by yourselves"

Kuro nodded her head before placing her sight on fight.

"... This is a chance"

Ingvild muttered as she steeled her heart to venture in the deepest floors of the dungeon after the event ends along with the 2 of them.

"Thanks for the great fight guys!"

Justice says before smashing the head of the last representatives against the floor, ending the second round in a span of 3 minutes as the crowd stared at the arena in a daze from witnessing such prowess and power.

"THE WINNER OF THE SECOND ROUND IS JUSTICE!! GODDESS LOKI DO YOU WISH TO PROCEED TO THE LAST ROUND!?"

Ganesha announced the victor before facing the griefing Goddess of Mischief sitting on the VIP room along with Freya.

"W-we lost"

She muttered while holding her head in frustration, even if they win this round, both of them has still lost for losing majority of the rounds.

"I think we should accept, we need to already win one round to not make it look like we one sidedly lost"

Freya advised while gazing at the last representative of their opponent, bringing a sense of fear and familiarity to her as she gazed at the black haired girl below.

"We agree!"

Loki shouted at Ganesha giving her approval to continue to the final round.

Ganesha nodded his head before facing the crowd once more.

"We shall proceed to the final round!! Let us meet our last fighters! Representing the Hestia Familia is a black haired girl of unknown origin, no records whatsoever from the guild about her existence, but is she strong enough to bring victory towards her Familia from final round!?"

Kuro nonchalantly entered the arena without any expression on her face, ignoring the slightly offending introduction of Ganesha as she stood still, waiting for her opponent to come.

"Representing the Loki and Freya familia are 100 lvl 3-4 adventurers from their respective Familia!!"

After his introduction, the steel bars opened as 100 well-known adventurers entered the arena with a unmotivated expression on their faces from losing the 2 previous rounds.

"LET THE FINAL ROUND BEGIN!!"

"Kuro, don't kill them alright?"

Ingvild shouted as Kuro nodded her head in response, but her words brought a sense of unease at the Goddess of Mischief watching the final round as cold sweat ran down her back.

"I feel like something bad is going to happen"

"It must be your imagination, there's no way that she will be as powerful as the..."

Freya tried to comfort her but before she could even finish her sentence, the black haired beauty launched a massive scale explosion of black flames at the adventurers, instantly wiping them out in a matter of seconds before returning back to their spot with a neutral expression on her face.

"...other two"

"THE WINNER OF THE FINAL ROUND IS KURO FROM THE HESTIA FAMILIA!! A COMPLETE VICTORY FROM THE HESTIA FAMILIA!!"

"..." (Loki)
