Chapter 1024: Chapter 775: The Place One Ought to Go
"Rumble..."
On this day, Maze City Orario experienced another earthquake.
Just like when Thanatos was sent back to Heaven, the repatriation light pillar appeared in Orario. Tonight, Orario was once again shaken by a tremendous force.
People stared blankly in the direction of Fengyue Street, lost in a daze.
There, a golden thunder dragon rose from the ground, soaring into the clouds, twisting and turning as it roared into the night sky, illuminating the entire night.
Perhaps this golden thunder dragon was not as divine as the repatriation light pillar.
Perhaps this golden thunder dragon was not as heroic as the repatriation light pillar.
But it, like the repatriation light pillar, connected Heaven and Earth, illuminated the night and clouds, shook the entire city, and moved everyone’s hearts.
At the location of the golden thunder dragon, everything around had been razed to the ground by the shockwave, not even rubble remained.
By the time the thunder dragon disappeared, all that remained was a smoking crater.
"Clang!"
A broken silver spear spun in mid-air for a long time, falling into the crater, its tip piercing the ground, making a crisp sound.
"Ugh... ah..."
With a faint moan to the extreme, a scarred hand reached out towards the silver spear with difficulty, but couldn’t reach the broken spear.
The owner of the hand wanted to struggle to stand up, but unfortunately, he had lost the strength to do so.
Upon closer inspection, the once fierce and murderous catman youth was now lying in the crater, on the brink of death.
A huge wound on his body almost cut through his entire torso, nearly slicing him in half.
Blood gushed like a fountain, drenching his entire body and the crater beneath him in red.
The dying catman lay there, struggling in vain, unable to stand.
"Click..."
Behind the catman youth, Reiger, who was covered in lightning, slowly sheathed his sword, letting the Fool’s Sword return to its scabbard.
He turned his head, looking at Allen, who was back to him, covered in blood, yet still defiantly crawling towards his spear, trying to grasp it and stand up again, and his expression faltered for a moment.
At this moment, Reiger seemed to return to the time when he had just advanced to Lv.4.
Back then, in a dark alley, he was a small figure in front of Lv.6 Allen, relying on trading wound for wound and unexpected tactics, he seized the opportunity to injure Allen once.
Now, he could slay him with a single strike without causing any harm to himself, which still made Reiger feel wistful.
However, Reiger quickly adjusted his emotions.
"The debt from back then, consider it settled."
"Tell your goddess to keep her hands to herself. Teasing a harmless rabbit is one thing, but don’t provoke me."
"If there’s a next time, I’ll personally visit the Combat Field to teach a lesson."
Leaving these words, Reiger turned away and left.
"..."
The catman youth finally stopped moving, feeling the receding footsteps behind him, filled with intense unwillingness and anger, he lost consciousness.
Not long after, a group of Freyja Clan adventurers cautiously approached and found Allen lying in a pool of blood.
Incredulous cries soon echoed far and wide, lingering for a long time.
...
"Whoosh!"
Amid a faint sound of cutting through the air, Reiger’s figure reappeared in front of the Goddess’s palace.
At this time, the Goddess’s palace had changed dramatically.
While Reiger and Allen were engaged in an intense battle, turning Fengyue Street into a battlefield and gradually leveling it, the Goddess’s palace may have been the only building still intact.
But now, this building was shrouded in black smoke everywhere, with walls in every corner shattered, and messy corridors vaguely visible inside.
"They sure made a mess."
Reiger’s eyes flashed with a transparent brilliance, seeing the situation inside the Goddess’s palace.
Ota and others had stopped fighting, standing guard before the top floor of the Goddess’s palace, surrounded by members of the Istar Clan who couldn’t stand.
Frey had caught up with Ishtar, and the two were conversing about something, one with a smiling face, the other full of fear.
"Everything has settled here."
Reiger then turned his gaze towards the direction of the altar.
There, unexpectedly, another battle had occurred.
It saw that somehow Bell Crowney had broken free and stormed into the altar, engaged in fierce combat with Aisha.
Both were Lv.3, though one had just recently leveled up while the other had reached the peak of this level, Bell Crowney, aside from Reiger, as the only one who managed to break through all basic capabilities to their limits, leveraged his potential from the previous two levels, fighting Aisha almost on par.
The rest of the Combat Prostitutes had vanished, possibly fled.
After all, first Reiger and Allen’s fierce battle leveled Fengyue Street, and then Ota and others invaded the Goddess’s palace, cornering Ishtar in desperation, there were surely many who fled in terror.
Thanks to this, in the altar, besides Bell and Aisha’s fight, only Haruhime remained tied up, looking tearful.
"...Don’t worry, you’ll be rescued soon."
