Despair

Centered around Daedalus Street, the sea of fire continued to spread to the surrounding area, and the cries of people and the roars of the adventurers were heard everywhere.

"Damn! What has this city become!"

The red-haired young man jumped between the rooftops of the building in armor. His expression was worried, seemingly distressed with what happened in this city.

"I don't know..."

The boy with short white hair shook his head lightly.

"Lili thinks it is better for us not to join this battle! That giant dragon isn't something our current Hestia Familia can deal with! Do you all want to die?!"

Pallum with curly chestnut hair shouted in distress on the back of the white-haired boy.

"The high-level adventurers are all there! Let them take care of that giant dragon!"

"But I still want to help! Even if it's just a small thing."

The white-haired boy gave a firm answer.

The Pallum girl was speechless.

"Haha, give up, Lili! Even a minotaur can stop Bell!"

The red-haired boy, Welf, laughed loudly.

They were all members of Hestia Familia, a rising new Familia that defeated the Apollo Familia previously.

Like many other Familia members who came to this place after they heard the news, they planned to help when the Orario was in crisis.

"Look, those adventurers have started!"

As Welf pointed his finger, everyone hurriedly followed in that direction.

Many adventurers gathered on Daedalus Street, grouped up together, and shot out various long-range attacks such as arrows, magic, and magic swords at the evil dragon in the sky.

However, the evil dragon was in mid-air of more than 200 meters, most of their attacks couldn't touch her, and the evil dragon completely ignored the few attacks that could reach her. Those attacks did nothing to her, not even leaving any marks.

The evil dragon ignored the adventurers and focused on attacking the man-made dungeon below.

"What are those adventurers going to do?"

Welf touched his head, feeling puzzled.

Even though it was useless, those adventures kept attacking the evil dragon again and again.

"It seems they don't plan to defeat it, but if they keep attacking like that... is it to attract the attention of that evil dragon?"

Lili muttered at the realization.

"I see!"

Welf suddenly realized when he heard those words, and he took out a large stick-like object on his back.

"In that case, let me help them too!"

"Welf!"

He didn't listen to Lili's words and rushed up eagerly.

."I didn't expect to use this thing for the first time on this monster."

Welf undid the cloth wrapped around the stick, revealing the true appearance of the weapon underneath.

The jet-black sword was covered with fiery red lines, and while it was just a weapon, its whole body somehow gave an extraordinary heat.

"Go!"

A thick pillar of flame soared into the sky.

The fiery flame turned into light, broke through the barriers of space, and slammed into the evil dragon.

"What powerful magic!"

Among the Freya Familia, the Level 6 elf holding a white wand was startled.

"No, is that a magic sword? What kind of magic sword is that? How can that thing be comparable to the power of my magic?"

The evil dragon suddenly stopped, and for the first time, she turned her head angrily at Welf.

"Ugh... isn't that thing looking at me?"

Welf felt a chill, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly when he realized that he was being targeted by such a terrifying monster.

"Is that kid stupid?"

The white elf murmured in a dumbfounded manner.

"Ottar, go and help."

Freya waved her hand, showing an indifferent expression.

"I like Orario very much. Don't let it be destroyed."

"Yes!"

Ottar respectfully responded.

Immediately afterward, he dashed forward bravely.

When his roar echoed, Ottar turned into a black shadow and leaped out. His whole body turned red, his eyes turned into a beast, and he was in an all-out state for the first time!

Like a tank, Ottar kicked up the ground, turned into a cannonball, and flew straight to the evil dragon.

No, his target was the fallen spirit on the top of the evil dragon!

"It's Ottar!"

"That's the strongest adventurer in the Orario!"

"OOOOOOOHHHH!!"

Hope was rekindled in the eyes of the adventurers.

While Tsukasa was also a Level 7, Ottar had been a Level 7 for so long. The title of strongest was still in Ottar's hands, and everyone still believed that he was the strongest.

However, none of that mattered for Ottar since what was important for him was only Freya!

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

A shattering roar spread throughout Orario.

The evil dragon waved its wing instantly, and the intense gush of wind pushed Ottar away!

Ottar's figure fell, turned into a black spot, and moved even faster than when he soared to the fallen spirit!

Orario's strongest figure was like a broken kite, smashed through dozens of buildings and thrown for a kilometer before stopping, defeated.

"......"

Everyone who watched this scene was lost for words.

Fear and panic filled everyone's hearts.

"Is... is this a dream?"

"Even the Level 7 Ottar is killed in one hit!"

Despair was like a dark cloud, shrouded in the hearts of all the residents of Orario.

Watching the evil dragon in the sky, they could only gulp their despair helplessly.

It was impossible to win!

How could someone win this monster?!

Impossible!

"Don't panic! I promise you with my life that there is definitely a way to defeat this evil dragon!"

Watching the adventurers' fighting spirit drop to the bottom, Finn hurriedly spoke up.

"Even so..."

The adventurers looked up at the evil dragon in the sky.

The evil dragon didn't seem to care about Level 7 Ottar and even looked bored before turning her head to find the person who released that flame pillar before.

The massive difference in their strength brought them to despair!

"Horn, go and save Ottar. Aaron, Hogni, Hedin, you go and attract the attention of the evil dragon!"

"Yes!"

"We'll serve Freya-sama with our lives!"

Freya gave an order, and everyone in the Familia let out a hoarse roar and sent their strongest attack toward the evil dragon.

However, the evil dragon ignored them, and with a wave of its wings, the magic dispersed, and the dragon's breath scared everyone away.

No one could get close to this evil dragon!

Even with countless adventurers grouped together, it couldn't even leave a scar on her scales.

"The strength of this evil dragon has surpassed Level 8?"

Freya felt heavy on her heart.

After absorbing a lot of magic power and nutrients, this evil dragon was taken out as the last weapon of Dionysus, and it definitely surpassed Level 8!

After all, even a Level 8 was impossible to knock Ottar down so easily.

Based on what Freya had seen and heard in the lower world for thousands of years, she had only seen this oppressive force once in the Hera Familia, the Empress!

The strength of this evil dragon definitely surpassed Level 8!

"How can Orario win against such an opponent?"
