Delicacy

The moment Isao jumped into the sink on the ground, no one said anything, and their eyes glued tightly to the screens, hoping to see his figure without missing anything. 

Whether or not everyone could live would be decided by this fight. 

Everyone relied on him, and he was the one who could save them. 

They might not be able to do anything, and that was why they wouldn't miss anything, so there wouldn't be any regrets in their lives. 

Yet—

"Amazing..." 

The silence quickly broke when they saw Isao's feat in the man-made dungeon, Knossos, which had turned into a den of calamities that would destroy everything. 

Yet, Isao was like a natural-born slayer; he slaughtered everything along his way. 

Nothing could escape, and all of them were either slashed, chopped, or decimated, causing everyone to be filled with excitement and hope. 

"GOOOOOOOOO!!!" 

"PLEASE WINNNNNNNN!!!!" 

"ISAO-SAMAAAAAA!" 

Everyone cheered with all of their might, but while Isao could hear their cheers, he ignored them and continued to kill everything that attacked him.

At this moment, his senses, body, and mind were on the limit, working together, turning him into a God of War. 

Unlike Ares, in the failed War of God, Isao fought and showed everyone what it meant to become the king, a hero, or the symbol of hope that everyone longed for. 

Yet, while everyone was full of hope toward him, Dionysus and everything that was under his control were in panic. 

Knossos, or the man-made dungeon, was like a gigantic labyrinth created with a legendary metal that was simply indestructible. Nothing should be able to destroy this place, yet somehow, Isao was able to do it.

His blade cut everything, and the hammer part of his pole axe could smash anything. 

His strongest status might be his endurance, but even so, his agility and strength weren't underestimated. Even without the power of One For All or using the Iitou Shura, he was able to pass through any obstacles and walls that obstructed his path toward Dionysus. 

Whether it was green meat, walls, or many others, they were all smashed or cut down by Isao without caring. 

More importantly, with his speed, no monsters were able to chase him, and all of them were left behind. 

Or even if the timing of those monsters was right and they leaped in his direction when they attacked, they were all killed and died before they were able to react. 

The city might have been destroyed by his reckless act, yet it didn't matter since everything could have been built once again. 

With Miyabi's DNA, Isao could build anything with just a small amount of time, and the title of the "God of Construction" definitely suited him well. 

Still, this place was more intriguing and complex than Isao thought, especially when a lot of magic was shot in his direction, and those magics had power that was comparable to a modern missile. 

Each of them caused a destruction that could destroy and kill an adventurer easily. 

Yet, with his speed, no one was able to hit him, which made everyone could only stare at this scene in a daze. 

Whether it was Bete, Allen, or even Bell, who was confident with their speeds, could only watch Isao's running speed with a depressed move, knowing that no matter how hard they tried, it was impossible to chase after his back. 

Not only was Isao's speed several times above theirs, but his reaction and techniques were also godly. 

Nothing could stop him, and he was unstoppable. 

"Watch out!" 

All of a sudden, everyone noticed that a gigantic Demi Spirit appeared before him, showing its mighty power from its size that brought terror to anyone. 

Unlike before, everyone was clear about the Demi Spirit, as the Ishtar Familia had used it to fight the Hestia Familia before. Knowing how dangerous the existence of this grotesque monster was, all of them became tense, even if this Demi Spirit was comparable to a Level 7 adventurer! 

In other words, when one faced this Demi Spirit, it was like they were facing Ottar, the strongest adventurer in the entire Orario previously. 

Still, Isao looked at the gigantic Demi Spirit before him. 

Unlike the bull or Aisha's Rakshasa, this Demi Spirit was in the shape of an extremely large tree monster with three fearsome faces. While they might not be able to move, each of their heads could chant different magics, and more importantly, there were more than six of them! 

With his sense of scent, Isao knew that all of them were in a different location; they were in six locations, each from far away, yet somehow, their magic could be sent toward him. 

One of them could send three different types of magic at the same time, and when there were six of them, it meant they could attack him with 18 different types of magic, which was comparable to a nuclear attack! 

Still, before they were able to finish their magic, Isao cut one of them, killing it instantly before he ran into the other Demi Spirit, killing them one by one until nothing was left. 

While he wasn't sure, those Demi Spirits should be used by Dionysus as a ritual to summon something. 

In the original story, before this ritual succeeded, it was being stopped by many powerful Familias, such as Loki Familia, Freya Familia, and other powerful Familias, before, in the end, the last boss was defeated by Bell Cranel, who was a Level 4. 

This was why Isao lamented himself, wondering how his difficulty level had become so high. 

While Bell Cranel didn't have to fight and only needed to use his technique to destroy a monster that hadn't woken up, Isao had to fight six Demi Spirits, one of which was comparable to the existence of a Level 7 adventurer. 

While Isao didn't mind, he had to say that his fate was so unique since all of the enemies he faced were strong beings that were impossible to defeat by anyone in this world, even if they had worked hard to strengthen themselves for hundreds of years. 

Yet, as he was here, nothing could remain; all of them were once again killed by him. 

"Eclipse..." 

No one knew who said this, but somehow, all of them started to mutter his alias. 

This name suited him well. 

While those who wished to be protected were happy by how strong he was, those adventurers who were born in the same generation as him knew well that no matter how hard they chased him, it was impossible to even see his back. 

Ah... why are you so bright? 

They couldn't look away, watching his figure obsessively, admitting inwardly they were inferior to him. 

Yet, as Isao killed the last Demi Spirit, Dionysus, who had used his everything, finally completed the ritual. 

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" 

His laugh echoed within Orario. 

No matter who they were, weak, strong, female, male, young, or even old, all of them heard it and trembled with fear, knowing that death was coming. 

All the green meat that spread in every direction suddenly pulled us into the center, the place where Dionysus stayed, forming into a large egg whose beating heart could even be heard by everyone in this world. 

A monster. 

A disaster. 

A calamity. 

'It is coming...' 

The gigantic egg then cracked and showed the despair that would bring everyone to death. 

"I AM THE VICTOR!" 

Then, along with the creation of this monster, Dionysus' roar echoed once again as he ignored Isao's gaze, who had been staring at him like a predator who saw a delicacy.
