Chapter 154 - War Game Part 2

(Sorry I delayed again.)

———

(Divine's Amphitheatre)

"Did he just kill a Level 5 in one move…?" A God gasped in disbelief.

The screen displays the moment Kirito killed Phryne with a single stroke of his sword.

Many gasped similarly as Level 5 is already a top 1% of Orario's powerhouses. To be killed in one move is understandably leaving many in disbelief.

Then those eyes shifted to the God dressed in black cloak and robe from top to bottom. Especially Ishtar who is more shocked than disbelief despite her strongest Familia member having died.

The plan was to send Phryne who is temporarily boosted to Level 6 by Haruhime's magic and demolish their opposition. But instead, Phryne was killed in one move!

Not even a Level 7, The King, Ottar, could kill a Level 6 in one move. Not to mention, there was no indication of skill or magic being used which means the slash made by Kirito is purely his own ability. That could only mean, Kirito was a Level 8!

But, there's no longer any Adventurers higher than Level 7 except for the Boaz. But what she had seen with her own two eyes proved otherwise. There existed another Adventurers higher in Level than Ottar other than the two banished Captain of Zeus and Hera Familia!

Everything makes sense now. Ishtar is anything but an idiot or sue would never be able to reach her current position.

The offer by Ray to increase the stake of the War Game is not because of him being a fool or crazy. It is because he is confident!

With the black and white forged within a contract enforced by Ouranos' authority. If her Familia loses. She will be at Ray's mercy at best or sent back to Tenkai at worst.

But. She cannot accept that!

She cannot lose here! Not after everything she had done to rise to prominence! She refuses to return to the monotonous life filled with unchanging and dull life as a Goddess back at Tenkai.

However, against a Level 8. There's nothing she could do! Her fate is set in stone. Defeat is just a matter of time against a Level 8 even if Phryne is still alive and in pristine condition.

Suddenly, something happened.

[I'm done here. You all can take care of the rest.]

Kirito said on the screen before he left the battlefield.

"He is retreating?"

"Why didn't he finish off the Amazoness?" A Goddess said with an upset frown that her fun was cut short.

"Maybe his ability is physically taxing?" A God hypothesizes rationally.

"Or maybe he is a coward." Another God commented lazily.

Ray chuckled softly at the last answer, which if Kirito heard, the God's head would slide off his neck before he could finish his words.

Although Kirito roleplayed at first. Now he is committed to his role as a Sword Cultivator. Labeling a Sword Cultivator as a coward is the same as desecrating his ancestral grave and pissing at his parents grave.

In short, a very big taboo.

After Kirito had left the battlefield. Another person replaced him. A girl. A very young looking one with pink twintail and a very eager smile plastered on her face. She is about to jump off the wall and attack before she pauses and tries to recall something.

"Ah! I should introduce myself first right?" She came to a realization before she proceeded to do just that.

The girl placed both hands on her waist and displayed herself proudly.

"Listen well, human… Uh, wait. You all are Amazoness right? Ah well. Listen closely, Amazoness. I am Milim Nava. The sixth daughter of Ray and The Demon Lo— Mph!"

Milim's introduction was cut short when Rimuru immediately jumped forward and dragged Milim down from the wall. Not before placing his hand on her mouth to stop her from finishing her introduction.

But, that alone causes many eyes to stare at Ray. Mainly because Milim said she was his daughter. But no one voices out their question.

Although it's rare. Some Gods do look at their Familia members as their literal children. Most of the time it's a small close-knit Familia. So, it's not exactly unheard of.

After a brief interruption. Milim stood back up on the wall with a deliberate cough as she continued.

"Ahem. I am the Demon Fist because. I am great with my fist." Milim repeats the words Rimuru told her to cover up her slip while she purposely displaying her arms that are covered with shiny black scaled gauntlets fashioned like claws.

With that done. Milim jumped down from the wall and gracefully landed before the castle gate before gesturing for the hesitant Amazoness that was still shocked by the loss of Phryne to come forward.

It took them a moment to recover. After Phryne was killed. Aisha who is the second in command along with Samira rally the Berbera, Ishtar's Elite Amazoness force to attack Milim in hope their numbers could overwhelm her now that they no longer have their heavy hitter, Phryne.

"Attack! Buy time for those with Magic to cast it!" Aisha ordered before brandishing her blade an attack while chanting her own magic since she has Concurrent Chanting.

However, little did the Amazoness or anyone watching except for Ray and his Familia. Hundreds of Amazoness piling up on Milim did nothing to impede her at all.

With ease, Milim sends each of the Amazoness flying with punches and kicks which knock them out in one hit.

Mind you that Amazoness is famed for their incredible durability and ability to take more punishment in battle compared to other races except perhaps the Dwarves that also boast high physical defense.

In less than a minute. The remaining Amazoness only have a few dozen left still able to be conscious.

"That's… impossible…" Aisha gawked at the scene as bodies of unconscious Amazoness piled up around Milim as she stood still waiting for the remaining attacker to make their move.

"Well, that's what happens when you challenge a Dem– Dragonoid to a fist fight." Milim said and laughed proudly. Not almost slipping up again.

"Wait. Dragonoid? You tell me Dragonoid still exists! I thought they went extinct thousands of years ago!" A God said with an alarmed voice as hushes and whispers broke out amongst the gods.

"Just who is he? Moment ago he was a very strong Swordsman that could defeat a Level 5 effortlessly. Now a Dragonoid!" Even Loki couldn't hide her jealousy anymore as she commented while throwing a fit like a child.
