Chapter 68

You know what... I am going to have to send a message now to the idiots of Orario. A very simple statement in fact.

If I can't even walk across Orario once without being accosted, then I obviously need to make these chuckle fucks an example.

"Are you fucking idiots really trying to rob me..." I asked incredulously seeing the trio of obviously lower-level grunts standing in front of me trying to intimidate me with a couple swords and a spear.

The leader jabbed his spear at me and I almost boredly swiped it out of the way, but he used the momentum against me to try for another stab but as he went to twirl around for his extra blow a deluge of white-hot fire washed over him for a couple seconds and with the intense heat, he literally couldn't even scream in his shock.

"Ok now that your little groups inbred stupidity was hopefully baked out of you all. What Familia are you all with, as I can tell he was a level three or something." I asked the two goons behind the convulsing leader who was laying on his stomach seeing as I made sure to pour the fire over his back and not in his face which would have blinded him, and I wasn't interested in killing them over attempting to rob me.

Now normally someone on my level would be a decent opponent but let's be honest getting my shit kicked in by Ryuu for a few weeks when she was level boosted to level seven made anyone in my level look like snails as Ryuu is an agility-based fighter as well.

Didn't mean I wasn't going to break their legs for this though. "We are with the Ikelos Familia." One of them blubbered as my long fire coated blade nearing their bodies as I pointed it in there direction.

'Actually, I take that back about breaking their legs... Wait is wearing goggles a Ikelos fashion statement?' I wondered seeing all three of them wearing goggles over their eyes and they didnt really hide their identities as anime quality hair is very noticeable once you mentally mark someone to be remembered

"Was this just a random jumping or something?" I asked next thinking of whether this was a coordinated action and whether Bell was also going to be jumped with him basically living with Eina lately or even if there were bounties put out on us for whatever reason.

They shared a look and in one swift motion then both threw their swords at me and as I slashed them aside as they were both basically thrown with similar velocity's not to mention it was level twos throwing their weapons at me so I just had to concentrate hard to block both of the blades that would have impaled with but as my reflex's took over, I then swung at what I though was a white rock or something and as my blade impacted it a loud pushed me through a nearby buildings wall but thankfully my armor blocked the force of it and more importantly the bright flash of light that accompanied whatever they threw at me.

As I rushed out of the rubble and thankfully it looked like the building was unoccupied, I saw one of the idiots helping the injured leader into what looked to be a sewer hatch...

"Stop!" I called and rushed to at least capture one but before I could get close he literally threw what looked to be a half dozen of those flashbangs and I could only throw myself into the ground to not get thrown through a building as a heavy pressure washed over me as the armor automatically sealed itself, not only guarding my ears but also my other senses from the explosions.

As I got up, I already knew the miscreants were going to be gone so I just brushed off the dust off my armor as I looked at the sewer hatch.

"Well, I have a bit of pride so I won't be chasing you lot into the sewer system as I am sure you could fairly easily lose me in there but let's so how lucky you all are..." I muttered and then with an evil grin I stabbed my space energy coated sword through the metal sewer lid and as I stood on it to secure it, I poured a literal tide of flames within the Orario Sewer system, and I could hear the loud bangs down the road as the pressure difference built up and shot up the sewer lids into the air with an accompanying roar of flames.

I kept it up for a solid twenty seconds and then abruptly dismissed all the flames causing another pressure explosion as the source of all the heat abruptly disappeared.

I then sheathed my sword and continued on my way towards the northern edge of Orario to try to meet with Demeter at her Wheat Manor.

'Bell will be fine as long as he spends his time at Eina's guild apartment and the only other person who could be at risk is possibly Aisha who is too street wise to be caught out by these idiots. Thankfully Lili and Haruhime don't bother leaving all too often.' I thought marking down the movements of my Familia and after mentally confirming they would be safe where they were, I could without worries continue with my day of meetings but tomorrow I and the rest of the Familia can use those Xeno trafficking scum to send a good message to Orario not to fuck with us.

Sadly, I was told at the gate at the Demeter Familia that their goddess was currently busy meeting with Guild officials to discuss the redistribution of the massive amounts of food all the Adventurers took with on our campaigns whether it was my group that went to fight the Behemoths or the groups just arriving back who fought with the rival armies of Telskyura and Rakia.

So, I could only go back home and start making plans with Hestia and the rest of the girls on how to purge Ikelos.
